the last king of darkness

Chapter 228 Walking To The Darkness

After the Ministry of Military Warfare determined the candidates and other matters, the matter was roughly settled, and the rest were trivial and troublesome but equally important matters.

Regarding this, Rhodes' eyes were basically smeared, but fortunately, there was Molly as an assistant.

She is so capable.

Familiar with all affairs, handle affairs concisely and efficiently, and arrange everything in an orderly manner.

Rhodes basically just followed her.

The most important thing is to exchange his 201 Royal City Iron Medals for materials, and then go to Master Lei Lu to make soul weapons.

In the warehouse of Wangcheng's logistics department, Rhodes was dazzled by the precious materials. He looked left and right, wishing to exchange all of them.

Molly said: "Master Rhodes, at present, your main combat method is long-range, and also aggressive assault. It is suitable for the position of rear scout, assistant, and fire supporter, and it also has the attribute of assassin."

"Fighting monsters in the front position, controlling the scene in the middle position, and providing fire coverage in the back position are not suitable for you."

"Therefore, I suggest that you suspend making soul weapons and build a more powerful psychic gun first."

"This is more suitable for you, and it is more convenient for you to use your abilities and give full play to your strengths."

Rhodes pondered for a moment before exclaiming, "You're absolutely right."

"Molly, I didn't think so deeply myself. You know me better than me. Although I am very capable in melee combat now, it is not my specialty after all. Only when there is a flaw in the monster's soul, I will You need to go forward and kill them."

"I play a much bigger role at the back than I do at the front."

"And the 'Raven' is no longer suitable for me, its power is too small, I haven't used it for a long time, and I just need to get a new one."

Molly pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, and there was only a businesslike expression on her delicate face.

"I have already canceled the appointment of Master Leilu for you, and made a new appointment with the bald master of the Engineering Research Institute. He will create a psionic gun for you."

"Therefore, I suggest that you exchange for one star ruby, three perfect rubies, twelve real silver, one moon spirit stone, two sun crystals, one star marrow gold, and twenty original crystals, exactly 201 Iron Medals."

Rhode sighed again: "Molly, you are really amazing."

After selecting the materials, leaving the warehouse, and completing a series of procedures, Rhodes handed over 201 iron medals to the quartermaster.

After the check was correct, the quartermaster smiled and said, "It's just right, Lord Rhodes, your calculations are really accurate. I hope you can create the best weapons, destroy more monsters, make more achievements, and gain more honors. I can see you with more Iron Medals here next time."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words, I will."

After leaving the logistics office, Molly called for the floating hearse.

The two got into the car and went straight to the headquarters of the Engineering Research Institute.

It is a very huge building complex in the southwest corner of the inner city, dominated by white tones, and the main building is a strange regular hexagon.

Rhodes met Master Bald, the head of the Engineering Research Institute here.

This is a man with a fierce face, a fleshy face, and a head as smooth as a pebble.

His real name has long been forgotten, and everyone calls him Bald Master, and his shiny head can be clearly seen from a long distance.

He is also a member of the Holy Fire Project, so he agreed to Molly to make weapons for Rhodes himself.

Otherwise, as the chief executive of one of the most important institutions in Wangcheng, he would not have the time to create psychic guns for himself.

The bald master was very enthusiastic. On the way to the spiritual laboratory on the top floor, he chatted enthusiastically with Rhodes.

"Brother Rhodes, the brothers and sisters of the Holy Fire Project are all looking forward to your success. You are the new star appointed by Theodore. You will definitely break the deadlock and bring hope to everyone."

Rhodes replied in a confident tone: "Don't worry, I already have a very perfect plan, which can quickly open up the situation in Fanxing Town. You just wait for the good news of my victory."

The bald master was very happy, the flesh on his face stretched out, like a child who is afraid of school violence.

"That's great, let's go, ah, my inspiration is gushing! The passion is surging! I can't wait to make a super psionic gun for you!"

They quickened their pace and walked upstairs.

On the way, Rhodes noticed the nameplates on some rooms.

Research Institute No. 107.

Below it was written in small print: "Steam is everything."

Research Institute No. 109.

There is also a line of small words below: "Billions of turrets, billions of glory."

Research Institute No. 211.

"Thunder and lightning rule everything!"

Research Institute No. 301.

"Within the cone of light is destiny."

Research Institute No. 404.

"Quality, field, collapse, I have glimpsed the mysteries of the world!"

-

A strange feeling came over his face, and Rhode couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this...?"

The bald master smiled calmly: "You won't understand. These are the efforts of the madmen in your eyes to save mankind. Please don't laugh at them."

You underestimate me... When Rhodes was about to continue asking, they had already reached the spiritual laboratory on the top floor.

With a flash of inspiration in the bald master's hand, the gate fell apart like building blocks.

Inside is a neat and bright space filled with various spiritual instruments.

A variety of working substance crystals for different purposes refract crystal flashes, making this place look like a crystal palace.

The bald master showed the joy of returning home, jumped to the center of the room, and raised his hand to light up a crystal production table.

"Aha! My babies, miss me?"

"Today, let's play a super big and super exciting game!"

"This will be an unprecedented super psionic gun."

"First of all, it needs to have super power. The power of the current psionic guns is too small, and they are easily eliminated once the training period is over. Psychic power is power, so it must have a super large psionic capacity, Star Essence Gold, come !"

"Then, it also needs a super-powerful psionic pressurization system! Star Ruby, come!"

"It also needs super-large psionic conductivity! True silver, come!"

"The psionic field must be extremely impactful, Sun Crystal, come on!"

"Of course, it must reach an agreement with the master, Rhodes, to pierce your soul and squeeze out your spirituality!"

.........

.........

The psychic energy in the Crystal Palace was shining, the bald master was sweating profusely, and the materials in Rhodes' hands decreased one by one.

In the end, only one sun crystal was left.

Rhodes thought with a little regret, it seems that Molly still has a limit, which is an extra piece.

"Molly, can it go back?"

Molly said: "No, this one is yours. It is impossible to approve the Sun Crystal you applied to Wangcheng."

Rhodes was startled suddenly.

His [Kales Tongwen Heavy Cannon] is short of a sun crystal. He applied for this resource from Wangcheng a few days ago, and thought he would get a reply.

Molly even thought of this... Rhodes sincerely praised: "It's really amazing, Molly."

Molly pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, and there was no complacent look on her delicate face.

"Commander, I have to remind you that although I also trust Your Excellency Theodore, your current thinking is too simple."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Don't underestimate me, my thinking is super complicated, you can't even imagine how much useless garbage it is full of."

Molly glanced at him, and a strange feeling came to her heart.

From the very beginning, this man gave her the feeling of contradictions, both childish and mature, both ignorant and knowledgeable, both frivolous and stable, seemingly unreliable but trusting him and never disappointed.

Perhaps, this is why Master Theodore values ​​him.

Molly thought.

The deep wisdom of Lord Theodore must have discovered something that I cannot understand.

Maybe he can really bring us the light.

A slight smile appeared on Molly's delicate cheeks, but it quickly disappeared into a serious expression like ice floe under the scorching sun.

She took out a box from behind and handed it to Rhodes.

"This is the spiritual equipment that Lord Horus personally made for you, and it is your favorite style."

Is there such a good thing?

Rhode happily took the box, opened it, and saw two black silk gauzes.

Touching it lightly, it feels delicate and cold, and taking it out for a look, Rhodes was instantly embarrassed.

Isn't this black silk?

Forget about black silk, why is it my equipment?

Rhodes looked at Molly with doubts.

The latter pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and said with a blank expression: "It is made of the best ice dust silk, and the best curse-seal master of the Holy Church has attached a permanent seal of the wind, His Excellency the archbishop himself. It can strengthen its material, which can absorb the impact of attacking the legs and greatly increase your movement speed."

groove!
How powerful is this equipment?Movement speed is very important to me... Rhode felt extremely sorry: "Why is it like this? I have never seen such a custom in the royal city."

"The king got this from the distracting thoughts in Lord Theodore's soul communication. He said that this kind of clothing is your favorite."

Fart, an honest gentleman like me doesn't like it at all!
Even if I like it, that's not what I like to wear.

After struggling for a long time, Rhodes returned it to Molly.

"I don't want it, give it to you."

Molly looked at him gravely.

"why?"

"They made a mistake. This is women's clothing. If a man wears it, it will be awkward. His eyes will be hot and he will become a pervert."

Originally, Rhodes thought that Molly would persuade him. This unsmiling female assistant is a firm believer in fire, and continuing the holy fire is the most important thing in her life.

Rejecting a powerful piece of equipment just because it doesn't look right is not acceptable in her philosophy.

But after hearing Rhodes' explanation, she didn't say a word, and accepted the box containing the black silk of wind.

Rhodes asked curiously, "You...do you have any objections?"

Molly said seriously: "Master Commander, the health of the mind is a very important thing, the accumulation of long-term negative emotions will lead to more unstable soul, more prone to self-darkening, and eventually degenerate into a crazy monster. "

"They have a special classification for monsters, called fallen ones, you should have heard of it."

Rhodes was shocked: "Is there such a thing? Is there a difference between the fallen and the polluted?"

"Yes, souls that actively invest in darkness are stronger, their instincts of hatred and attack are stronger, and they retain more complete powers in life, including combat skills and combat wisdom."

Molly said calmly.

"Therefore, all service industries, medical treatment, teaching and other positions in the royal city pay great attention to spiritual guidance, and have a special service department to provide appropriate services for the combatants who have returned from the bloody battle and help them relieve the pain caused by the long-term battle. Negative emotions such as fatigue, nervousness and violence."

Rhodes was shocked.

Only then did I understand why he was so gentle, lovely and capable when he came into contact with medical and teaching scholars.

Why was the maid he met after returning from his mission so enthusiastic, why was he so disappointed when he sprayed it out, and even apologized to him for it.

Molly pushed her glasses, and continued: "If they are high-level combatants, they will also receive the services of professional spiritual physicians. The Royal City Service Department will design the best treatment plan for them, and they will be checked regularly to ensure their health. Mental health."

"And you're already on the list."

Is there such a good thing?

Rhodes rubbed his hands, looking forward to it a little.

After several hours, the bald master finally completed his masterpiece.

He held the fresh spirit gun like his newborn.

It was about half a yard long, crystal clear throughout, like a stream of solidified light, like light bent inside a gel, with no details visible.

"Here, hold it and charge it with your psychic energy for the first time."

Rhodes gripped the grip of the gun, which fit perfectly in the palm of his hand.

When he filled it with psionic energy, he clearly felt a joyful emotion.

There seemed to be a spirit beating in the spirit gun, connected with his spirit.

"Very well, it's yours from now on."

"This gun embodies half of my life's philosophy. There is no need to compare it. It is the best in the world. It is named."

"Condensation."

The unparalleled brilliance danced on the bald master's face, and he took out another bullet.

"This is a special bullet for Ningguang."

"It is made of spirit world matter, and inside it is a folded space fault. You need to fill it with at least ten real silver bullets to use it. Therefore, its minimum power is ten times that of conventional spirit guns."

"Of course, not only in fact, its super-strong spiritual energy field can provide hundreds of times the power, and the number of bullets that can be filled in the spiritual world is theoretically unlimited, but please note that the space after more than a hundred bullets will be very uncomfortable. Stable, it may cause an explosion, it is best to fix it at around fifty."

Rhodes was stunned.

"Is there such a thing? We can fold the space at will, so do we have to worry about logistics?"

The bald master shook his head and said: "No, the essence of the fault is in the spiritual world. Its formation is one-time. The material filled in it exists in another state and cannot be taken out again. Otherwise, the state will be destroyed and it will be destroyed. Cracked into the most primitive state of matter."

He held up this strange bullet.

It looks like a shimmering fog, its flickering blue light revealing the uncertainty of its existence.

"Moreover, I can only do this size at present. It can only be filled with objects of the same size as it. It is also very difficult to preserve. Spiritual substances are very difficult to obtain and the price is very expensive."

"Ah, it's gone."

The bullet in his hand evaporated like mist, leaving no trace.

Rhodes asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

"It's okay, I still have a box, I made it a long time ago, and now it finally comes in handy."

The bald master stuffed a blue box into his hand and smiled like a two-hundred-pound child.

"Go and kill monsters with it, and open up a new living place for human beings as soon as possible!"

-

Rhodes held Glitter and its bullet box, feeling both joyful and sad.

Undoubtedly, not only the real silver bullets, he could stuff the spirit sealing bullets into the spirit world bullets.

Fifty times the power of psionic impact can definitely be called a killer move.

He has another means of defeating the enemy.

But the question is, one shot is equal to fifty shots, can this consumption be sustained?

Especially now that materials and funds are very scarce.

Rhodes sighed, and could only temporarily send them into the dreamland.

Originally, there were still several procedures behind, going to the Supreme Council to accept the admonition of the elders, meeting with the chiefs of the Wangcheng Resources Department and the General Logistics Department, meeting with the giant merchants of Mahalla, holding the expedition ceremony, and so on.

But Rhodes felt that the void was approaching, and [Awakening] gradually failed, and he was about to die suddenly.

And he happened to have big plans.

If things are really as he thinks, it can usher in a super good start.

If you fail, you have nothing to lose.

Therefore, Rhodes hurriedly urged to start, and the following links had to be cancelled.

For this reason, many big figures in Wangcheng were very dissatisfied.

The conservatives and opponents were elated, thinking that Rhodes' arrogance would inevitably lead to his failure.

A group of people headed by Justice Levill jumped up and down, spreading rumors unfavorable to Rhodes everywhere, and even publicly proposed to cancel this expedition that was bound to fail, so as not to cause the soldiers to bleed in vain.

Wang's supporters fired back, saying they just didn't want their pockets to bleed.

In this noisy quarrel, none of the big figures who really held power came out to speak.

They will use their actual actions to show their attitudes and decide whether Trorian's next step is to cultivate his health and rest and stick to the field, or to hold the torch high and continue to expand outward, or to give up part of the territory to further ease the struggle against darkness .

At this juncture, Wang was once again absent from the Supreme Council meeting.

The king's guards refused to disclose the king's whereabouts, and the fire priest closed the holy fire sacrifice site.

But someone saw that the king's lover Lilith entered the king's bedroom.

The supporters were very sad, and the opponents were even more rampant. Dalin was busy with defense, and Horus was alone outside to appease everyone and refute the attack, but the effect was not significant.

Supreme Council.

Many people persuaded the first elder, Amando, to appoint a new king as soon as possible.

Among them, Levill and the others were particularly eager, wishing to skip all procedures and allow Jon to ascend the throne immediately.

The chief executive, Tarlinas, and the chief adjudicator, Manolo Bana, secretly fanned the flames.

Armando didn't respond, but there was shaking in his cloudy eyes.

after the meeting.

Chief Consul Talinas convened the opponents in the mansion to discuss the next response.

Everyone was in high spirits.

Justice Amory said with a smile: "That kid is so arrogant. A newly promoted upstart is so rude. He has offended so many people before going to war. He is bound to fail."

"That's right, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the darkness of Fanxing Town will definitely swallow him!"

"We've won!"

"Don't be too happy." Manolo Bana said grimly: "That kid is a little unusual, maybe he can create some miracles."

"Don't worry, Master Gula, I have a solution."

Justice Leville sneered and gave his suggestion.

"We can destroy their logistics supplies, shoddy them as good ones, replace old ones with new ones, and even stuff them with rotten things, so that they can attract unexpected monsters. There is also a huge monster lair near Fanxing Town, which is a ruin We can send people to deliberately disturb it to form a small-scale wave of monsters, and tell them to wipe out the entire army as soon as they pass, hahahahaha!"

This overly insidious suggestion has some people very disturbed.

"Level, isn't it good for us to do this?"

"Too many people died."

"This is rebellion..."

Leville smiled and said: "Everyone, they only have a hundred people, 100 people died, and 1000 people, 1 people, and [-] million people were welcome. Isn't it good? This is a great good deed, how could it be a rebellion? What? I had to do this for everyone's sake."

"Yes, we are here for more people."

"That's right, blind expansion will inevitably lead to indescribable existence in the darkness, and the only end of great success is destruction."

"We have to."

Tallinas clapped his hands, and said loudly: "Everyone, hurry up and discuss the details of the operation. Be careful not to show your feet. Good days are still waiting for us."

"That's right, Master Tallinas is right."

"This absurd expedition must fail quickly."

Amidst the noisy noise, Talinas and Manolobana looked at each other without leaving a trace, and showed ice-like smiles again.

-

Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Horus looked at the holy flame, which was still restless under the boiling spiritual energy of the king, and felt very disturbed.

-

In the mountains of the Dead Ember Mountains.

Silver oath.

Under the huge real silver ring, the leader of the Forbidden Armed Forces looked at the transfer order in his hand, and was silent for a long time before saying a word.

"Mephis, you go, I will enlarge the restraint, but please remember the oath and curse seal on your body."

After saying this, he was submerged in the shadows.

A man in white robe with a ring on his chest opened the huge silver door embedded in the mountain.

"Let's go, don't forget, you must come back during the full moon."

A slender figure followed.

-

Kingworth College.

Hidden base.

Dean Vera is discussing with Chief Instructor Sauron.

Archbishop Horus has informed them of the relevant information, Rhodes is their pride, and supporting him is a matter of course.

It's just that Vera and Sauron cannot completely decide the secret branch force.

In addition to other instructors and teachers, Jinworth College and Kalil Force also have a certain decision-making power.

Therefore, how to successfully list Fanxing Town as the mission area of ​​the secret branch has become the question they need to think about the most.

In the big training ground.

Kashan was training hard with the freshmen, her training clothes were soaked in sweat, outlining her exquisite curves, and her dazzling blond hair was drenched in sweat, swaying in the air, reflecting a little bit of light.

My fist is harder.

A touch of joy flashed through Kashan's heart, but it was replaced by more intense training in an instant.

There was only one thought left in her mind.

I want more power.

I want to master the spark of anger more.

I want to get stronger.

I want to fight side by side with Rhodes!
-

And all these disputes, Rhodes does not know.

At this moment, he was sitting in a carriage with spirit horses, fully concentrating on accepting Molly's instilling more commander knowledge into him.

Outside of them, there are dozens of larger carriages.

At the top of each carriage, there is a brass lamp.

The flame flickered in the headlights, dispelling the rolling black mist and illuminating their way forward.

In this way, the convoy marched mightily toward the depths of the darkness.
