the last king of darkness

Chapter 200 Death Mission
Rhodes met his teammates in the hall of the War Department.

There are only two people in total, Dmitri, the "Undefeated Iron Forge City", and a green-skinned man named Tommen.

However, the high-level personnel and followers in the hall showed that Wang Cheng attached great importance to this operation.

Dmitry was a taciturn burly man who responded only to questions from higher-ups with a nod or a shake of the head.

Tommen, on the other hand, looked very frivolous, slumped on the bench, and ignored the people around him.

A high-level person said loudly: "The personnel are all here, time is running out, get ready to go."

Dmitry nodded and stood up.

Tommen didn't want to get up, and said loudly, "Master Herman! This man doesn't look like he has even grown all his hair, is that okay?"

The high-level staff said with a sullen face: "He is a complete clairvoyant."

Tomman pouted: "What about a complete clairvoyant? We don't have time to protect him for such a dangerous task. He must be able to protect himself. Lord Herman, look at his face just entering school, okay? "

Heman said coldly: "This is the king's order."

"Okay, okay, you can't blame me if you fail the mission, and you can't lose a penny of the pension that should be given."

Herman's face became very ugly, but fortunately he didn't continue talking, got up and walked out of the hall.

"Let's go, big man, brat, it's time for us to die heroically, for the holy flame, for human beings, and for Trorian, let's go."

He shouted without passion, which seemed ironic.

Rhodes frowned and asked, "What's the matter with this man?"

Herman sighed softly, but didn't say anything, only said: "Let's go."

Walking out of the hall, a floating hearse was already waiting for them outside the hall.

Rhode stepped into the hearse, and the three of them set off like this.

There was no see-off, no blessing, and everyone in the military and warfare department stood outside the hall, silently watching them go away.

The hearse stopped at the gate of Wangcheng.

The rest of the way, they have to go by themselves.

All three of them were empty-handed, nothing but an astrolabe to guide the direction, not even the necessary lanterns.

"Give!"

The green-skinned Tommen stuffed a red tearstone into Rhodes' arms.

"There is only one, use it up and die."

Rhodes frowned and asked, "Why don't we bring a lamp?"

"Ha!" Tommen sneered. "It seems that you are such a chick. What crime have you committed to be sent to die?"

Dmitry said solemnly: "We can't disturb any existence in the darkness, and any spiritual items with the imprint of fire cannot be worn. Afterglow and embers are direct projections of the power of fire and cannot be carried. "

Tommen sneered and said: "Boy, it seems that you have never left Trorian to perform missions. It is a truly dark world, where countless terrifying existences are silent, and we do not have any assistance. If you are not careful, you will be killed." I will die suddenly, so if you have time now, turn around quickly, and you can still save your life."

Rhodes said casually: "No need, I'm going to die anyway."

"It's up to you, but if you can't keep up with us, go home and nurse."

Tommen snorted and strode west.

His speed is very fast, but Rhodes has specially practiced long-distance escape and short-distance sprint, and now his spiritual power has been greatly enhanced. Although Wang said that there has been no change, he feels very obvious about himself. yards, followed closely behind the green-skinned man.

Tommen's face turned blue, and he didn't shake off Rhodes.

After walking for a while, Dmitry suddenly said, "Toman, I'm tired."

The green-skinned man stopped immediately: "Then let's rest for a while."

The three of them sat down in place, and only a light red human figure could be seen in the thick black mist.

Dmitry placed the astrolabe in the center, from which emanated countless luminous lines.

His thick fingers ran along one of them.

"We'll go west, pass through Cape Wrath, and arrive at the Land of Eternity from the Sword Coast. Here and here are the key nodes. We only need to put sixty tons of rot in these two nodes. The task It's finished."

Rhodes glanced around.

"Where are the sixty tons of putrefaction?"

Tommen the green-skinned boy gasped, "I'm here."

"His characteristic is spatial movement, and he can move matter in a specific space to his side."

"Oh."

Rhodes finally understood why they set off directly like this, the supplies should have been prepared long ago.

No wonder such an important task would bring such a person.

Unexpectedly, besides him, there are people in Wangcheng who have the ability to store space.

Dmitry continued.

"We must arrive at the target location within twelve hours, otherwise the position of the strange swarm changes, especially the rotten swarm of Sigles, and the rot will not play the expected role."

"These two nodes are 330 yards and 360 yards away from us respectively. According to tactical principles, our pace should be 70 yards per hour."

Tommen curled his lips and said: "Big man, don't talk nonsense, everyone can do what you want, but after twelve hours, everyone will belch, and the pension of one hundred thousand silver will not be less , why care so much?"

Rhodes frowned, it was the first time he met this kind of teammate.

"If you are so afraid of death, why did you come to carry out this mission?"

Tommen yawned and lay down on the ground: "Then what can we do? There is no stronger space in the royal city to move than me."

Dmitry said: "Spatial movement has three elements, the size, mass and distance of the object. He is the only space mover with seven fireworks, and he can send rotten objects 360 thousand yards away, 60 tons, and 30 levels high. to the side."

Tommen sighed: "There is no way, the capable man just dies early."

Rhodes frowned: "If this task is so important, why don't you send more and stronger people to complete it?"

Tommen sneered: "Chicken."

Dmitry said in a deep voice: "The node is in the west, and the defensive circle is only a small section in the west. It is completely out of Trorian's range if it exceeds 100 yards. In the silent dark world, more unknown and terrifying existences will be disturbed, and once a battle occurs, the disturbance will become greater and greater, and the mission will inevitably fail."

Tommen sneered and said: "So, what's the use of working so hard to be so strong? Can you be stronger than monsters? According to me, don't worry about it, you should eat and drink, be happy Live and die happily, isn't it good?"

Rhode's face darkened: "If you don't want to do it, send the rot over now, and I will do the rest."

Tommen let out a mocking sneer, ignored him, and rolled over, with his back to him.

Dmitry continued as if nothing had happened.

"I have six fire seeds, one of which can reduce the disturbance of everyone's own existence by one level, and the other can achieve optical invisibility. Once I leave the range of Trorian, I will use these two abilities to hide us. Please try to avoid fighting, and don’t make a move unless you are in a desperate situation.”

Rhode suddenly asked: "Can we fly over?"

Dmitry shook his head: "No, after leaving Trorian, the sky is a restricted area, and under no circumstances should you leave the ground more than a hundred yards."

"What about the spirit world?"

"Travel in the spiritual world is extremely unstable, and disturbances to the spiritual world will eventually be reflected in the material world, causing unknown disasters."

Tommen sighed: "Nothing works, it's our status quo."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Why do you think we must die? Can't we come back alive, get rich rewards, and live a happy life from now on?"

Tommen's mocking voice almost burst from his nostrils.

"The glorious and great hero goes through all kinds of hardships and overcomes the dark monsters, and the happy story of returning home victoriously, even the little kids don't believe it, when you are cut into pieces, when your stomach is broken, when you are corroded, and your consciousness is confused , when you go crazy, you will know that these are all made up by the lords to trick you into dying."

He sat up and pointed to his nose.

"Let me tell you, everything in this world is fake, only money is real. This mission is impossible to succeed. I didn't come here if it wasn't for the [-] silver compensation."

Rhodes sneered and said: "You are dead, what's the use of asking for money? What does other people's happiness have to do with you? Let me tell you, everything in this world is fake, only being alive is real. If it succeeds, we will definitely return to the royal city alive."

Tommen said angrily: "Okay, then live well!"

After that, the two didn't say a word on this issue. Dmitry explained the details of the mission, and the three began to walk in silence.

Dmitry leads the way, maintaining a pace of 70 kyards per hour.

This speed does not put any pressure on Rhodes, but it puts a lot of pressure on Tommen. He needs to take a break every half an hour before continuing on the road.

Their route passed no strongholds, nothing in the boundless darkness.

Occasionally, I saw the light of the stronghold, and it passed by in a blink of an eye.

After about an hour and a half, they officially left Trorian's range.

After completely breaking away from the influence of the fire, the tumbling black mist became thicker, ferocious, and full of aggressive malice.

The red tearstone could no longer fully protect them. Rhodes noticed that his humanity was declining and had obviously been eroded.

Dmitry activated his spark ability, and the three of them became transparent, and the breath of existence faded, leaving only a faint red light, which was easy to ignore.

Dmitri said in a low voice: "From now on, everything must be careful. The Cape of Windwrath is in front of you. There are a lot of Soulstealers there. It is said that there is a very powerful Soulstealer sleeping in the depths. Don't Arouse them, Rhodes, and you and I will lead the way, and try to bypass all monsters. Tommen, follow us."

Tommen responded feebly.

The three of them slowed down and walked forward cautiously.
