the last king of darkness

Chapter 111 The First Action

In the quiet dreamland, the light-colored mist flows silently.

It's a little different from the past. Right in front of the obelisk, at the corner of the hut, various materials have been piled up into a hill.

In addition to a large amount of canned food, there are various potions, bullets, phlogiston, materials, and emergency items.

This ability to survive in the wild is absolutely perfect for Mr. Bei, who only eats beef.

After sorting it out for a while, Rhodes came to the obelisk, but the words of invasion still did not appear, and the surface of the monument was empty.

But Rhodes didn't feel at ease, instead he felt a sense of emptiness that couldn't be found.

When he came to the front, the three stars were still shining, and the light of [Justice Execution] seemed a bit dim under the other two stars that had reached their full state.

There is no way, without [Soul Firewood], the stars will have no core, and the consumption of adding fire will be very high, and the efficiency is very low.

And among all the materials for making [Soul Firewood], the most important thing is a complete and powerful soul.

Without it, 50000 Spiritless Souls and 100 Spirits are required instead.

This is a difficult number to accept, and it is also the main purpose of Rhodes here.

There is no such opportunity in Wang Chengzhong. Looking back now, the last action was really very lucky.

Hope it works this time.

Rhodes sighed softly in his heart. If he didn't have this luck, then he could only hunt monsters in the sewer for a long time.

At a glance, the number on the upper right corner of the obelisk shows that he only has 14622 souls and 62 spirits.

The distance from the number that can be replaced is much worse.

I really don't want to become the king of the sewers, when the time comes I won't be able to find any girls.

Ugh.

Rhodes put away his distracting thoughts, returned to the stone platform, lit candles, put four puppet woods and forty parts of living spirituality on the platform, and made four wooden puppets.

This is a monster sculpture made of countless dead branches intertwined together, only the size of a thumb, as long as you inject psionic energy, you can summon a wooden puppet to fight for you.

How strong this puppet is, Rhodes doesn't know yet, but it shouldn't be too weak.

Now, Rhodes has four wooden puppets, eight "soul ashes of the brain eater", plus Theodore's phantom, so the general danger should not be afraid.

Rhodes opened the storage under the stone platform, which contained two sun stones, 34 pieces of living spirituality, 90 grams of astral ruby ​​powder, 100 soul red crystals, one piece of green grass potion, one piece of holy white tree fruit, two A dark guardian, and some sundries.

The time in the storage is almost static, and the space is larger than it looks from the outside. Rhodes put almost all spiritual materials and items inside.

It has changed from being empty at the beginning to being full of beautiful things now, and Rhodes smiled a little unconsciously.

After closing the storage, Rhodes took the book of knowledge from the shelf and asked once, "Everything you know about dreams."

The book of knowledge flipped through, each page was filled with words in an instant, and it didn't stop until the entire book was turned.

Rhodes skillfully turned to No.20 three pages and continued to study.

The dream text is the most complicated text that Rhodes has ever seen. It is not only cuneiform, but also has phonemes, syllables, notes, and morphemes. Every stroke has various functions. The difference between a punctuation mark and the entire word meaning will change.

In particular, they also have very complex grammatical linkage.

There is nothing more torture than reading this stuff.

However, the knowledge of the dream is related to his life and death, and this page is about the knowledge of the invasion.

In any case, it must be cracked.

Rhodes held the book of knowledge with one hand, and pressed the "Ancient Words" and "Language Evolution" that he tore into pieces and glued together in his dream with the other, studying the meaning, inner meaning, outer meaning, original meaning and derivative of each word. meaning.

"... When the garbage is excreted, the stars shine... Grass, what the hell is this?"

Rhode spread his hands and fell to the ground, feeling that his mind was in a mess. After learning this stuff for more than an hour, the dog couldn't stand it.

With a bang, the Book of Knowledge closed by itself, and it couldn't bear to keep it open for so long.

This guy... Rhodes sighed and was about to get up.

At this moment, the lower body suddenly tightened, followed by a strong sense of falling, and everything in front of him became blurred.

someone is coming!

Rhodes understood instantly, closed his eyes, and concentrated.

A second later, when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was Mina's exquisite and beautiful face.

"How did you come?"

Rhodes was surprised, quickly withdrew his gesture, sat up, but slammed into the soft cotton.

Mina screamed, pushed Rhodes away, turned over and got off his bed, blushing, scolded: "Did you do it on purpose? Did you want to take advantage of me? I told you to pretend to be asleep for a long time, You won't wake up until I come up."

Rhodes calmed down, carefully unbuttoned the sleeves, propped himself up with both hands, and saw Mina wearing a green long dress and trousers, with a wide belt around her waist and a large bag hanging from her back. Dress up, it doesn't look like a night raid.

He asked slightly disappointed: "What's the matter?"

Mina opened her eyes and said angrily, "What's the matter? There's an urgent mission! We're leaving soon!"

Rhodes became energetic immediately, and a carp jumped up: "Really? That's great! Let's go!"

Instead, Mina was stunned. For a moment, Rhodes hurried past her and rushed out of the room.

"Why are you standing there? Go away!"

Suddenly, Mina showed a smile. She took two steps forward, grabbed Rhodes' arm generously, and said angrily, "Rhods, you slept too hard, I thought you didn't want to participate in the mission, and deliberately avoided it." .”

Rhodes felt the gentle touch on his arm, and said with a smile: "How is it possible? Hunting monsters and monsters is our bounden duty, and it is our mission to protect the holy flame of the royal city. The light of the fire illuminates every corner of the earth, allowing our compatriots to freely bathe in the light, and no longer be threatened by death and suffering."

Mina looked at Rhodes: "Really? Is this really your ideal?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that I would rather sleep in the sewer than hunt monsters? It's Lauren, an ungrateful guy. I helped him get a great job, but he locked me in the academy and didn't allow me to kill monsters." When I came out, I went to him to ask for a few tasks, and wanted to participate in a few operations, but he didn't allow it. He insisted on taking a rest, and frequent battles would affect our physical and mental health. I said that you sent two girls to accompany me, and he was actually angry. Now, why is it not enough to have Kashan, big brother, Kashan can be my brother..."

Rhodes couldn't hold back his complaints. During this period of time, he was indeed very depressed. [Justice Execution] was consuming his humanity every day, and the invasion was delayed.

To be honest, Rhodes was a little anxious deep in his heart.

After finally hearing that they were going to hunt some kind of dragon, they volunteered to participate, but they were severely criticized by Lauren, and even filed a complaint with the chief dean, which prevented him from going out of the academy for several days.

So a lot of resentment accumulated during this time.

Amidst the complaints, Rhodes didn't notice that Mina looked at him with more and more light shining in his eyes.

Soon, they came from the underground room to the spacious main hall of the castle. Rhodes glanced at it, and saw that there were already many people standing in the main hall, including branch dean Vera and black-robed Kalil, and there were others one after another. Come up from the ground.

The light in the hall is relatively dim, which is deliberately simulating the dim light at night.

Vera snapped her fingers, and the huge pattern in the sky quickly brightened, and the main hall quickly became as bright as day.

He looked around, and when all the staff arrived, he said loudly:

"Students, I'm sorry to wake you up late at night, but you will know later that this is just the most common sight in combat."

The black-robed Kalil sneered and said, "Dean Vera, I think it's better to stop talking nonsense. Combatants only need to pay attention to combat-related matters."

Vera glanced at Kalil's pale and long face, and said lightly, "Okay."

His voice changed, becoming cold and hard.

"According to the notification from the War Department of the General Army, the Kuroshio is coming one day ahead of schedule, and the defense pressure in various places has increased sharply. Jianguan in the seventh defense zone has been attacked by many evil spirits, and the psionic generator has been damaged. Special orders have been given to Kingworth's secret branch troops to form A reinforcement team, go to reinforcements immediately."

The voice fell, and there was a little commotion in the crowd.

A student shouted: "But, Your Excellency the Dean, we just did the test and haven't started the training yet."

Vera's steely eyes instantly focused on his face, and said coldly:
"Your Excellency Kalil said that monsters will not cooperate with us. If you want to be prepared before acting, then you will never be able to act."

Kalil let out that hissing laugh again:
"Dean Vera is right. I will not wait for you to finish training before going out to perform missions. Orders are everything. In Kalil's secret army, anyone who asks such a question will be severely punished by me. Kingworth is still too gentle."

Vera's expression remained unchanged, and continued:
"The task involves evil spirits, and requires at least two excellent scouts with high spiritual vision. Rhodes from Redstone Village, Annabelle from Mushroom City, do you have any questions?"

The two replied in unison: "No."

Annabelle glanced at him, covered her mouth with a light smile and said, "Primary school boy, I really didn't expect to carry out the mission together so soon."

Vera continued: "The task needs to repair the psionic generator, and a researcher is required to accompany it. Mina, do you have any questions?"

Mina said loudly; "No."

She hugged Rhode's arm tightly, and glanced at Annabe not far away, but the latter didn't look at them again.

Next, Villa arranged for ten more main combat members.

Among them, Rhodes knew the trio of Beowwood and Raistlin.

Finally, Vera said: "The matter is quite special, I decided to send two instructors and a teacher to accompany..."

Kalil suddenly interrupted: "Dean Vera, this is not in line with the convention. This is a three-category task, which is a relatively large threat. This kind of combat preparation is enough."

Vera said coldly: "This is the first mission of the secret branch. There are vacancies in the base. I think additional personnel can be sent to ensure safety."

The cold eyes of the two met in the air, and neither of them retreated.

After staring at each other for a moment, Kalil turned his head, hissed and said, "Okay, but you can't be like this forever. Our combat preparations will always be insufficient. They have to get used to fighting in a more difficult environment."

Vera nodded slightly: "Your Excellency Kalil, you are right, I will keep it firmly in mind."

He turned his head, his steel-like cold gaze refracted a strange brilliance under the bright light.

"Kingworth's secret branch, the first action, set off."
