the last king of darkness

Chapter 210 The Hand of the King

Rhodes finally saw the true power of Trorian.

The legendary four great knight commanders appeared one by one, and a large number of knights came from the sky.

Followed by the neatly lined city defense corps, the fierce and mighty expedition corps, and the capable and keen investigation corps.

Then came the Night Watchers Legion in black robes, Kalir's hidden troops covered in gray robes, the battle order of the Holy Church in gorgeous costumes, and the Hunters in strange costumes.

A long line of troops will surround the royal city along the First Avenue to demonstrate the invincible power of Trorian.

And at the end of the team, the most important figures are ushered in, the seven fighters of the highest sequence in Trorian.

son of fire.

Although Rhodes didn't see them in this war, he knew that this was the ultimate power that the Supreme War Department could use, and any action related to them required the unanimous consent of the highest-level war conference.

This proves their strength and importance from the side.

The appearance of the Seven Sons of Fire brought the celebration to its climax.

All rose to their feet and cheered to their strongest.

Due to too many people, Rhodes' vision was completely blocked and he couldn't see their figures.

It was not until a long time later that the official celebration ended at the climax, and in the aftermath of the climax, the civilian celebration began.

Most of the bans in Wangcheng were lifted at this time, and everyone is free to spend the rest of their lives in this rare time.

Rhodes had never seen so many people and such a lively royal city, almost every square was filled, and countless men and women were singing and dancing, or embracing towards taverns and hotels.

Those returning soldiers are the most popular objects, no matter where they go, they are greeted by countless young girls or young boys.

The breath of spring is rippling in the royal city.

Rhodes originally wanted to experience it, but the commendation ceremony was held in the Supreme Council, and he had to be present as an important meritorious person.

Molly also told him that it was related to his duties and Wang's plan for the next stage.

It is worth mentioning that she is also one of the participants in the Torch Project.

Rhodes was very surprised when he heard the news. He thought that only a few high-level officials knew about this top-secret plan, but he didn't expect that Molly, who was just a dispatcher of the Supreme War Department, was also one of the participants.

However, she knew a lot less than Rhodes, at least she didn't know about the flame going out.

When Rhodes was trying to discuss this topic with her, he found that the ban that the king had placed on him was shining, preventing him from speaking about the holy flame.

This shows that she is not one of the insiders.

Regarding this matter, Rhodes actually had an idea. The extinguishing of the holy flame was a major event related to Trorian's life and death. Why didn't the king make this matter public?
If you are afraid of causing panic, you can only disclose it to a few important high-level officials.

In this way, the progress of the plan will be supported by everyone, and there is no need to hide it.

It is impossible for Wang not to think of this.

Obviously, there are secrets that he doesn't know about.

-

Uptown.

king district.

Just east of the Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Accompanied by a group of important officials, Rhodes stepped into the highest council, which is the power center of Trorian.

In the majestic holy fire hall, Rhodes met the group of elders known as the cornerstone of Trorian.

All of them are old men with high morals and high esteem. Each of them has made great military exploits and meritorious deeds, but they are unable to fight because of weak souls, disabilities, fatal infections that cannot be recovered, etc., and only retreat to the second line.

Among them, the first elder, Armando, is the most respected. His opinion is respected by many people, and even the king cannot change it easily.

The Supreme War Department has drawn up many candidates, and they will all receive commendations and awards here.

Due to his special merits, Rhode stepped into the hall first, while most of the people were still waiting in the outer hall.

A follower is introducing Rhodes' achievements in detail at length.

On the main seat behind him sat the king, first elder Amando, and archbishop Horus in turn.

On the stepped seats at the back is the group of elders.

No one spoke, only one person was muttering.

Rhodes listened for a while, feeling very outrageous.

The dossier even listed cleaning the sewers as his achievement. The people of Trorian thanked him very much for cleaning the sewers. Many people presented him with garlands to thank Rhodes for allowing them to shit unscrupulously.

Rhodes really regretted it. If he knew that he should take sick leave or something, he wouldn't die on such a solemn occasion.

But the elders didn't seem to think so, they all looked at Rhodes with very interested eyes.

There were some whispers in the hall.

After finally reading to the end, the dossier listed the rewards for Rhodes.

"In view of the achievements made by Rhodes of Redstone Village, it is recommended that he take up the position of Hand of the King."

This appointment caused a commotion in the hall, and many elders frowned.

An elder objected: "Your Majesty, the King's Guard is the core of the royal city's defense system. Is it appropriate for a child who has just mastered the power of fire to enter for less than half a year?"

Wang said lightly: "Age should not be a shackle for us to arrange personnel, just look at his achievements."

Another elder said: "Your Majesty, his achievements are indeed very high, but he does not have the corresponding ability. We can give other rewards."

Wang smiled and said, "Why not? You can see why all the sewer tasks he participated in were successful by looking at his heroic appearance in cleaning up the sewers independently."

Wang slightly gestured.

The entourage immediately described Rhodes' several sewer cleanup operations, emphasizing Rhodes' leadership ability, how to lead the team to swim in the sewer, and so on.

Of course, a little change and distortion of the story is understandable for this purpose.

Rhodes sighed in his heart. From this point of view, he will not be able to get rid of the title of King of Sewers for a long time in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that it actually had an effect, and the elders stopped talking about it because of this.

Does this work too?
What the hell are you pretending to be in your mind?
Just when Rhodes thought he had succeeded, the First Elder Armando, who looked like an orange peel, suddenly raised objections.

"I disagree. The King's Guard must be composed of the most elite members. They must be able to stand alone and have leadership skills. This kid's psionic power doesn't even have 10 cuts. No matter how much you brag, his strength is far from enough The minimum standard for the King's Guard."

Wang frowned slightly.

"Amando, does spiritual power represent everything?"

"But without psychic power, everything is gone." Amando said indifferently: "The minimum psychic power strength is 30 thousand ticks, this is the rule of the King's Guard."

He bit the standard to death, and no matter what Wang said, he didn't agree with it.

Due to Armando's great prestige in the elders, if he disagrees, it will be difficult to pass the appointment.

The king was silent for a while, he didn't really want to use "the king's order", but now it seems that it's okay not to use it.

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly said: "Test it, maybe my spiritual power has 30 thousand quarters."

Archbishop Horus hurriedly said: "Shut up, don't talk about Rhodes!"

But Amando's cloudy and cold eyes had swept over, and he said indifferently: "Boy, exaggerating his strength without authorization is also a felony for Trorian."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Master Armando, how would you know if there is an accident?"

"Your spiritual power level is only 3. According to the standard, your spiritual power should be between 2 and 6 thousand ticks."

Rhodes shrugged: "Why can't I break the standard?"

The anger in Amando's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Then try it."

Horus originally wanted to stop it, so as not to confirm the negative impression of Rhodes talking nonsense and arbitrarily exaggerating his strength.

But Wang held his hand and shook his head slightly.

Horus's heart trembled, and he suddenly understood.

According to his understanding, Rhodes rarely brags about his strength blindly, and it is impossible to talk nonsense at such a critical moment.

As a person who is so valued by His Excellency Theodore, maybe there is something magical about him?

The order of the Supreme Council was conveyed.

Soon, the researchers of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering brought working substance crystals to the Supreme Council.

Rhodes put his hand on the working crystal, and used his psionic energy with all his strength, and the misty light enveloped his whole body.

The working crystal lit up, and the numbers on it jumped wildly, and it took a while to freeze.

The researcher said in a loud voice: "The subject, Rhodes of Hongshi Village, has the highest spiritual strength, 30.8 thousand ticks."

With a bang, the entire council became restless.

The elders exchanged unbelievable eyes. A guy who has just become a fireman for less than half a year has a psychic power of 30 thousand cuts. This is no longer a member of the [Strong] logo.

Armando frowned, stared at the researcher and asked, "Are you sure?"

The researcher said loudly: "Your Excellency First Elder, I can guarantee that the error of this value is within 1%. If you want to get a more detailed and accurate value, please let me bring him back to the Engineering Research Institute."

Armando fell silent, something flickered in his cloudy eyes.

An elder asked: "Rhode, why did your spiritual power grow so fast?"

Rhodes pretended to be confused and said: "I don't know, I am like this after Master Theodore possessed."

This explanation was barely accepted.

Horus said solemnly: "Your psychic strength has greatly exceeded your psychic level, and you will have to perform a psychic level-up ceremony after you go back. With 30 thousand ticks of psychic power, you have already reached the fifth level of psychic power. "

Wang smiled and asked, "Your Excellency Armando, do you have any questions?"

Armando still shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I don't agree. The psychic power that has been raised rashly is very unstable. Moreover, I remember that he is a fire holder of the Starfire sequence, but he only ignited 4 fire seeds. This is also completely unqualified. The Hand of the King, There must be at least 6 tinders."

Rhodes almost laughed out loud, and said, "Your Excellency Armando, I have 6 fire seeds."

Armando's face suddenly darkened.

"Boy, do you light the soul fire as soon as you want? After 4 fire seeds, it is difficult to ignite every fire seed. No matter how many soldiers swallowed fire potions, they still have no success. You said you just did it naturally. lit?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Your Excellency, the facts prove everything, let the test speak."

Armando stopped talking.

The researcher changed another working crystal, allowing Rhodes to concentrate on it.

Soon, six light spots shone on the crystal.

The researcher said loudly: "Six types of fire, detailed testing needs to be completed in the Mechanical Engineering Research Institute."

Wang smiled and said, "Your Excellency Armando, do you have any comments?"

Armando was silent for a long time, and at this moment, another person spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is still unreasonable. The lowest combat level in the King's Guard is also a fifth-level combatant, and he is only a ninth-level combatant. That is to say, he has just become an official combatant. For such a novice, I I find it difficult to assume the great responsibility of the King's Guard."

Rhodes looked up, and the speaker was sitting in the last row of seats.

He wears an iron mask and the robes of the Inquisitor.

It was Manolo Bana, one of the chief judges.

Due to the particularity of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, he is qualified to sit here.

Rhode's heart sank, knowing that things might not be easy to handle.
