the last king of darkness

Chapter 140

The explanation Wang gave him far exceeded the necessary limit.

Rhodes suddenly felt better.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a roar that seemed to come from the void, as if countless steels were collapsing in the infinitely distant emptiness.

Rhodes raised his head in astonishment, and saw that the king had left his position and flew into the holy flame.

The blazing holy fire didn't seem to change at all, but Rhodes felt that it seemed to be bent, and at the same time, for some reason, a strong desire appeared in his heart, wanting to plunge into the holy fire, this desire was so powerful, as if His lifelong dream in general.

But it also faded quickly, and when it disappeared completely, the king returned to him.

He looked a little weak, his pale face covered with fine beads of sweat, but there was a strange light shining in his eyes.

"Rhode, it seems that you have noticed the movement of the holy flame, and you are really extraordinary."

Rhode's heart beat fast, knowing that he might have accidentally glimpsed some kind of huge secret, so he said cautiously: "King, if you can't tell me, don't tell me, I will swear to keep it a secret."

Wang showed a gentle smile.

"Little Rhodes, since you have noticed it, let me tell you that the foundation of our existence, the holy fire, is losing its source, and the structure of firewood can no longer support its huge power. I must use my Spirituality to maintain it, otherwise it will collapse from above like a landslide."

Wang's voice became serious.

"Simply put, our holy flame is about to go out."

At this moment, Rhodes felt as if his heart stopped beating.

The torch is about to go out?
Rhodes still remembers the fear when the fire was extinguished when he was at the sword pass.And when the flames became smaller and smaller, the strong sense of oppression and panic was deeply imprinted in everyone's soul.

And what will happen if the sacred fire that supports the entire royal city and tens of millions of people is extinguished?
Wang Chensheng said: "I seldom show up in recent years. That's why the holy fire needs my protection all the time. Even if I leave the holy fire sacrificial field, I must keep my spirit here. My original plan was also interrupted because of this. Many The achievements are being lost, but there is no way to do it, the torch is related to the fate of the entire kingdom, and the survival of the last human beings in the dust."

Rhodes felt as if his soul had fallen into a dark abyss, and countless things lurking in the darkness were tearing him apart. When he spoke, his voice was already hoarse, and the voice seemed to come from far away.

"Then what do we do?"

Wang patted his shoulder lightly, and the fiery temperature came from his palm, which spread to Rhode's whole body in an instant, dispelling the cold and fear for him.

"Don't worry too much. I already have a plan, a plan, and I will implement it when the time is right. Developing Star City is my first step."

The warm air enveloped Rhodes, making him feel as if he was bathed in the spring breeze. He couldn't help asking, "My lord, what can I do?"

Wang Shi smiled and shook his head: "Little Rhodes, you are still very weak. In our eyes, you are not much different from a baby. Your task now is to grow up quickly. The more burdens you can bear, the more pressure the Trorian humans will have. The smaller I am, the more hands I have free to carry out my plans."

Rhodes was a little unconvinced and said: "I am very strong, my justice is executed... the second shot is very powerful, and I can also pick out the soul. Anyone who is picked by me will die..."

"So, it's called 'Justice Execution'?"

Wang showed a tolerant smile and raised his right hand.

"Do you look like it?"

Powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy emanated from the king's body, washing over Rhodes' senses like waves after waves.

Although he couldn't hear the melody, it felt exactly the same as when he used the psionic quintet.

Rhodes widened his eyes and looked at Wang in disbelief.

Wang's smile was faint, mixed with a strange nostalgia.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the building. Rhodes raised his head in astonishment, and saw that the huge egg-shaped building was unfolding outwards, blooming like a flower, and a powerful holy flame shot up into the sky like a burning flower bud.

The next moment, a huge white light soared into the sky, and its mighty power could even complement the sacred flame.

Rhodes was stunned. The powerful spiritual fluctuations submerged him like a tsunami, which was completely different from his spiritual cannon. The only thing he felt now was the competition between the fireflies and the bright moon.

When the white light fell, Wang Han smiled and looked at him.

Rhodes asked anxiously: "My lord, are you also instant shooting?"

Wang's expression twisted: "It's justice."

"Well, I mean, how can you do that?"

Wang smiled and said: "Don't you know? The characteristic of every king is eternal burning fire. Only in this way can we resonate with the holy fire, gain the power of the holy fire, and guard the holy fire. The power of fire is the root of all power. , in theory, we can simulate using any property as long as we know its laws."

There is such a thing... Rhodes knows that the internal nature of the characteristic that the law refers to is like an engine, it is its structure that enables it to turn oil into power, and according to the king, eternal burning fire is not just Equivalent to the core of the infinite structure?

However, why does the word "eternal burning fire" have a sense of familiarity?

Rhodes asked: "Why doesn't the Guardian Fire need human resonance?"

"Their strength is far lower than that of the holy fire. If the kindling of a guardian fire wants to become a holy fire, it needs to go through five transformations and consume countless firewood and phlogiston to achieve eternal burning. This is a gap in potential, which is extremely difficult to make up for. , For many years, we have only had this holy flame in Wangcheng, that's why."

Rhode's heart suddenly moved, he remembered the position of the stars, their state is from "weak burning" to the final "eternal burning", their position is also from unburned fire to dim fire, blazing The fire, the golden fire, eventually became the eternal fire.

Exactly five transformations.

And Rhodes still remembers that the Holy Fire also has a title of Eternal Fire.

Is there any connection between them?

Rhodes fell into deep thought. At this moment, a white light came through the air and fell beside the king, waking him up.

Looking up, it was Archbishop Horus.

He asked anxiously: "My lord, why did you open the holy fire sacrificial field? What is that spiritual cannon?" He glanced at Rhodes vigilantly, "Is he a doomsday cultist?"

Wang laughed and said: "Horus, are you out of your mind? Calm down, I just met a new star, and I started the sacrificial field with excitement."

Horus's wooden face returned to normal, and he complained in a low voice: "King, if you do this, the elders will come to bother you again."

"Okay, don't say such disappointing things, we haven't opened the holy fire sacrificial field for four months, the people are too depressed, we need the belief of victory to inspire people's hearts, Amando will understand, you go back quickly, put Let’s go through the formal process after the holy fire sacrificial field is launched.”

Horus had no choice but to nod, turned around and turned into a ray of light and pierced through the air.

"Okay, little Rhodes." Wang turned his head and said: "I just want to tell you that the way you use the characteristics is wrong. It is you who use the characteristics, not the characteristics that use you."

Rhodes had a slight understanding in his heart. His ability to use the stars before was all about sensing and touching the stars, and then the ability was used naturally. Go back and forth to study carefully.

Wang keenly noticed that Rhodes was in a slightly depressed mood, and said with a smile: "Don't be too discouraged, your own characteristics are always unique, even if others are exactly the same as you, there are subtle differences, eternal burning fire is not a panacea, simulation is always just Simulation, the power is always inferior to the characteristics of perfect control, and the eternal burning fire is too rare, there are only four people in the entire Trorian Kingdom, I think, among other humans, there will not be too many."

Rhodes was surprised: "There are other humans? Are we the last human kingdom?"

Wang Shenyin said: "Well, this question is not easy to say. We have lost a lot of historical materials, but according to limited records, we have indeed communicated with humans other than Trorian. We have a special school organization, which is to find the source of dust. Humans outside... well, I have already said too much today, little Rhodes, you must always remember that your fire seeds are very special, use them to grow as soon as possible, the whole Trorian is extremely looking forward to the emergence of new stars .”

Rhode hurriedly said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Wang smiled and said: "If you really want to, go find firewood. You can see the elements of firewood in the military headquarters. In addition, you must remember to keep secret about the torch. It is only for us for the time being." The two know."

Rhodes was surprised: "The two of us?"

"Yes, because they will oppose my approach." The king lightly touched Rhode's forehead with his finger, "And their souls are too strong to accept this oath, well, remember not to use spiritual power to break this oath, Otherwise, I will think you have broken your trust."

Rhodes sensed it, and a strange connection appeared in his soul, as if connected to the king in front of him, but it had no effect on him.

Wang stood up, exhausted from his expression.

"I've finished my words, go back, little Rhodes."

After speaking, he turned into a long flame and flew back to the holy flame.

And Rhodes was picked up by an irresistible force and sent outside the holy fire sacrificial field.

Until then, Rhodes didn't know why the ground of the square was sunken downwards.

This huge building is like a blooming flower at the moment, every piece of "petal" is tightly stitched, obviously it has been designed long ago.

And in the center of this flower formation of rocks, the holy fire that covers the sky and the sun is the crystallization of all their beliefs.

At this moment, the black fog had disappeared, and Rhodes saw the sky for the first time.

Infinite light poured down from the holy fire, bathing the entire royal city in sunlight.

It was a brand new city he had never seen before.

Two priests appeared beside him and bowed slightly: "Mr. Rhodes, the king ordered us to send you back to Jinworth College, please cleanse your guilt as soon as possible, because of the king's order, the war department of the general army will not I will contact you in the near future, but please don't relax your combat readiness."

After finishing speaking, they hugged Rhode's arms from left to right, soared into the air, and flew towards the lower city.

Rhode looked away, and there were countless people pouring out of every street and alley in the royal city.

The sound of jubilation can be clearly heard even in the sky.

He had never seen so many people. The ocean of people seemed to be drowning this magnificent city. Joy and joy echoed on everyone's face, and the melody they formed seemed to resound through the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, all kinds of demons and dark beings shy away, and only the people with capital letters stand proudly in this universe.

Suddenly, an unprecedented emotion surged in Rhodes' heart.

I want to protect it.

he thinks.

The flame of humanity will never be extinguished.
