the last king of darkness

Chapter 10 The Second Dream (Please recommend and collect)

A dim, gray mist stretched infinitely in all directions.

Pale, as if the color of the soil has faded and there is no end in sight.

Rhodes stood in this dream that seemed to have lost its color, a little dazed.

"This... I'm back again?"

"So you don't need to ask Miss Sister for health care?"

Regardless of the loss, Rhodes immediately became happy again.

If the way to enter the dream was so simple, he wouldn't have to worry about not finding the truth.

Looking over, I saw the strange obelisk at a glance.

But the evil spirit-like black shadow has long since disappeared, and the haunting pain has not reappeared.

This shows that change is real and dreams are continuous.

The truth may be hidden in that obelisk.

Rhodes was delighted, and ran over.

Dim mist and pale dust flitted around and under his feet, everything here was dead, and the colors had faded.

Except for the obelisk.

It is cyan.

The damage suffered last time has disappeared, and the cracks on the stele are only a few tiny cracks, which are healing very slowly.

Rhodes came to the monument, stretched out his hand and touched it lightly.

The surface of the stele became dark again, and the faint light spots like countless stars emerged again.

In the middle is still the light spot exuding dark red light.

After devouring that soul, its light condensed into substance, flowing slowly like lava, much brighter than other lights.

When Rhodes focused his eyes on it again, many incomprehensible words appeared in the light spot again.

Rhode suddenly realized something in his heart.

Will it be "Tinder"?

In Wangcheng, "fire" is a word with many meanings.

It is often used to refer to testers and students who have unlimited possibilities.

It also generally refers to the germination of all hope and the dawn of the future.

At the same time, there is another important meaning.

That is the potential contained in the soul of the fire enabler, also known as the fire holder of the "spark" sequence.

Every time "Spark" ignites a fire, it will gain an ability.

The simple standard to measure the strength of "Spark" is the number of fire seeds.

According to Wayne, the average "spark" can only ignite four or five sparks in a lifetime.

A few strong ones can ignite six to seven.

After seven, they are rare, and they have always been the best in various fields.

And there was only one person who ignited nineteen, and he had become the most well-known legend in the royal city.

If this dark red light spot is the kindling that has already been lit...

Rhode jumped up as if being stabbed by a needle.

Isn't the archbishop's strange partiality towards him understandable, then?

Isn't the test of him by the Industrial Machinery Research Institute correct?
This dark red spot of light must be the kindling seed called "Black Rice Bucket".

The strange text inside the dot must have the meaning of "black rice bucket".

Rhodes looked up at the countless light spots, they were faintly visible, almost invisible.

If this light spot can be ignited...

Can the light spots all over the sky be ignited?
Suddenly, Rhodes felt a surge of emotion.

But he calmed down quickly.

Rhodes remembered very clearly that the "black rice bucket" really burned and became the current brightness after devouring the soul of a person named [Flowers on Rin'an, Prince Hegeol of the North].

If we use the method of elimination, this [Northern Prince Hegeol] is likely to be the black shadow that attacked him before.

After he killed it under the blessing of inexplicable golden light, he obtained his soul and burned it to the "black rice bucket".

If lighting a fire requires a soul, where can he find a new soul?
Most importantly, doesn't this method look evil?

Rhodes suddenly inexplicably thought of the destruction of the relocation team and the strange patterns placed in the corpses.

Could it be some kind of soul sacrifice ritual?
The murderer murdered the members of the relocation party, sacrificing their souls for some hidden benefit.

Thinking of this, Rhode's heart suddenly turned cold.

Could it be that I really killed people?
I am the murderer?
"No, not necessarily."

It was difficult for Rhodes to accept this inference.

"It's just my imagination, it's not necessarily true."

"There must be clues that I haven't found."

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly noticed a detail that he hadn't noticed before.

"This obelisk has four sides, one side is the starry sky, will the other three sides be any different?"

He came to the other side of the obelisk, stretched out his hand, and touched it lightly.

Sure enough, new changes appeared.

The cyan surface of the stele was gradually blackened, and large black objects settled down.

The pure black color gradually rises from the bottom, and at about halfway, the change stops.

Rhodes waited for a while but nothing changed.

He didn't know why, so he had to come to the other side and reached out to touch again.

This time the surface of the stele was dyed gold, and the golden light seeped out from the stele and settled down.

But just like before, when the golden color occupied one-fifth of the surface of the stele, the change stopped, and there was no further change.

Rhode had no choice but to let go, and the surface of the monument returned to normal.

He feels that these two sides are a bit like a thermometer, an indicator of something that already exists.

The last side of the obelisk remains.

Please, give some useful information.

Rhodes stretched out his hand and pressed it on the tablet.

The next moment, new changes really came out.

A line of blood snaked down from the spire, forming dozens of strange characters on the surface of the stele.

They flickered slightly, like some kind of strange warning, which seemed to herald something.

But he didn't know every word.

Rhodes has never hated himself for being illiterate like this moment.

He forcibly memorized the shape of each character, intending to find a way to decipher it in Jinworth's library as soon as he woke up.

After confirming to write down all the glyphs, Rhodes put down his hand, and the bloody characters gradually disappeared.

There is nothing to see about the obelisk, and more information can only be learned after he finishes his literacy.

Rhode glanced into the distance, and the gray fog was boundless and endless.

Since you haven't woken up, just take a look around, maybe you will find something new.

Rhodes walked out, wandering casually in the world of gray mist.

Anyway, as long as you wake up, you will return to the real world, and you are not afraid of getting lost.

After walking for a while, suddenly, there was a stabbing pain on the back of his hand.

Rhodes looked down, and the strange eye pattern on the back of his right hand was burning hot, and the black lines that made it boiled, as if they were about to burst out.

"Well, what's going on here?"

"Is my demon king's seal going to be released?"

Rhodes was a little panicked, but the next moment, the eyes on the back of his hand flew out, turning into a large cloud of black air and falling to the ground.
