the last king of darkness

Chapter 28
The hearse landed in an old circular square.

The light here is dim, a few old brass street lamps can't even illuminate the ground clearly, the stone fountain in the middle is covered with dust, and the surrounding houses look dark and deep under the heavy night.

Rhodes got out of the car with the flow of people, and walked into a large room directly in front of him under the leadership of the driver.

Before entering the door, Rhodes noticed that there was a large spiritual lamp hanging on one side of the room, and the nameplate on the side read "Iron Cross District Defense Department".

The house was brightly lit, with a hall in the center and dozens of small rooms on both sides. A man in a dark shirt and black vest was standing in front of a large table, staring at a map on the table in meditation.

The driver shouted: "Your Excellency, the cadets are here."

The Chief of Defense woke up suddenly and looked up. Rhodes saw a huge scar on his face, slashing across his eyes, almost like splitting his head.

"Oh good, good, great, finally a new power is coming."

The chief of defense tried to force a smile, but the muscles on his face were stiffened by the heavy sadness, and the smile seemed to be crying.

The driver handed over a piece of paper: "This is their list and detailed information."

The chief of defense quickly glanced down.

"Students staying at school, students staying at school... are they all students staying at school? There is also a special student?"

A real smile instantly appeared on the face of the chief of defense, and his spirits lifted.

"That's great, you're all great guys, Iron Cross Street is saved, I'll say that the boss isn't a mentally handicapped man without a brain, and the Chief of Defense hasn't lost his mind because his wife ran away and the child isn't his, hahahahaha. "

isn't it?
Is it okay for you to expose your boss's privacy like this?
The students had different expressions and were all silent.

Rhodes shrunk even more in the crowd, and the people around him were more than a head taller than him, and all of them looked murderous and restrained, more than calm.They are all equipped with a variety of weapons, including big knives, long swords, whips, hammers like millstones, and giant axes with four blades. Most of them wear short jackets, black vests, and belts. It looks very professional with all kinds of medicine bottles or items inserted.

He was the only one with empty hands, wearing the light blue school gown of the academy, he looked like a rookie at first glance.

"I won't be a hindrance, will I?"

Rhodes suddenly thought of what the red armband said to him, and secretly made up his mind that he must tell his own strength accurately, as long as he can catch a few mistakes later.

Everyone but him doesn't seem to think so, though.

When the chief of defense called his name, there was no contempt or contempt in the eyes of everyone, only prudence and curiosity, even the chief of defense himself.

"You are Rhodes? As expected of a special student, you are really different from ordinary people."

He nodded appreciatively.

"Your teammates are Raistlin, Egger, and Caramon. Your patrol area is Baihua Street, Stone Street, all the way to Fifth Square. There are 1000 households and [-] people in total. Do you understand?"

The chief of defense slid his gnarled fingers across the map, and stared at them with eyes protruding from his scars.

"Understood." The three other than Rhodes replied together.

"These are whistles and signal flares. If you encounter a danger that cannot be handled, please use it immediately. There will be guards coming to support you. I won't say anything about it. You are already official combatants, and you should be able to distinguish the level of danger."

The chief of defense stuffed a whistle and two shit-like balls into Rhodes' hands, then turned his head and continued to allocate teams, leaving Rhodes no room for discrimination.

A staff member in gray came up: "Your hearse is here."

Rhodes had no choice but to set off with the three of them.

They walked out of the Defense Department and boarded the hearse.

This is a horseless carriage with a small compartment, just enough for four people.

The moment the door is closed, without seeing any drive, it heads west on the street and returns the way it came when it reaches the location.

The four stood by the gloomy roadside, their faces illuminated by the copper lanterns hanging around their waists.

A big guy spoke first.

"Ye An, I'm Raistlin. I've just become an official combatant and I'm staying in school to learn advanced Death Curse Defense. My sequence is Spirit Fire, my soul characteristic is barrier, and my habitual tactical position is the front main position, main defense, and auxiliary defense. , Psionic level three."

"This is Iger, who is also staying in school. The sequence is spiritual fire, the soul characteristic is white smoke, the habitual tactical position is center control position or center defense position, and the power level is three."

"This is Caramon, the sequence is Starfire, and four fires are lit. The most useful ones are psionic resonance and water healing. The habitual tactical position is the rear supporter, and the psionic level is four."

Every time he introduced a person, that person smiled at Rhodes.

"We are old partners. I am very happy to meet the legendary special students. I hope we can have a good cooperation."

After speaking, the three of them came up together to shake hands with Rhodes, all of whom looked very admiring.

Rhodes hurriedly explained: "You guys misunderstood. Although I am a special student, I don't have much strength. I just entered the academy and am a freshman."

The three of them were obviously surprised, and Raistlin asked, "What is your ability?"

Rhodes said: "It's just to enhance the observation ability a little bit. Without combat power, I can only use firearms."

The three looked at each other, and Rhodes clearly saw the big man named Raistlin winking.

The thin man named Caramon hesitated for a moment, but still took out a crystal ball filled with white mist: "What do you see?"

Rhodes is now very proficient in using the eye of the soul, and it opens instantly when he thinks about it.

But after looking at it, his eyes were almost blind.

"This... you also have this kind of thing?"

The three obviously didn't understand what Rhodes was talking about. Caramon grabbed him and asked anxiously, "What did you see?"

"Do you really want to say it?"

"Of course!"

Rhodes had no choice but to describe the pornography he saw in as simple a language as possible.

All three of them were stunned, obviously not prepared to hear such things.

Suddenly, Caramon wailed, ran away in tears, and lay on the bluestone roadside, howling and beating the ground.

"……What's up with him?"

Raistlin suppressed a laugh and explained, "It's the crystal ball his ex-girlfriend gave him when they broke up, saying that someday he'll see the last layer and he'll understand why they broke up."

That's fine too... Rhodes didn't know what expression to use, so he could only express his condolences to Caramon, who had green hair.

However, this also led to a very bad consequence, that is, the three of them no longer believed in the fact that he was weak.

"Stop pretending."

Raistlin looked at him disdainfully.

"I don't know what you special students are thinking. You purposely say that you are weak, and then rush out to save everyone at a critical moment. Please, we are three men, and no one will fall in love with you because of this."

The little Iger shouted: "I'm not afraid if you want to make gestures with me. Although I'm short, my length will never lose to you!"

Even though Rhodes repeatedly explained that he only lit one fire, had only one psychic power level, had no actual combat experience, didn't know what a tactical position was, and lost his memory, they didn't believe it.

"Don't pretend. Those who can see the last layer of the white mist crystal ball have a spiritual vision of at least 80. I have never encountered such a strong absolute vision."

"That's right, it is said that only the high-level investigators of the investigation legion can reach this level. Is your fire seed given to you by the new king?"

Caramon on the side wiped away his tears and stuffed the crystal ball into his arms.

"Send it to you."

"This...isn't it good?" Rhodes instinctively wanted to push back the crystal ball containing the little porn.

"I don't want it anymore!" Caramon gritted his teeth and said, "That slut is wasting my true feelings. I can't even bear to touch her hand. She, she, she..."

Raistlin grabbed his neck and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you will find better ones, anyway, you also saw it from Rhodes... I have to say, Brother Rhodes, did you take language and literature as an elective?" Lesson? The description is really vivid, and it makes people's hearts flutter."

Iger shouted: "That's right! I've never heard such an exciting thing in my life. Come on, tell me another paragraph!"

Caramon glared at them, but was shoved by Raistlin.

"Fool, why are you still defending her? She is willing to record it and send it to you, so she is afraid that others will watch it? Isn't it good to give benefits to brothers?"

Iger also said: "Anyway, you are also a stone-wood core with only 10 spiritual vision, and you will never see it in your life. Why don't you listen to Brother Rhodes' detailed explanation?"

Caramon fell silent, with uncertain expressions in his eyes, and finally heaved a long sigh: "Go ahead."

Rhodes felt very embarrassed, and it was not easy to refuse their request, so he took out the crystal ball and looked at it while talking.

I have to say that the heroine's figure and kung fu are top-notch here, with a slender waist, big waves, long white legs, a flat abdomen, and a depth that makes people dream, especially her little white feet. , the five toes will be bowed thinly, which makes people think about it.

It was also very enjoyable, but the male protagonist was dumbfounded, letting him manipulate him like a piece of wood.

The three of them quickly immersed themselves in it, and continued to yell like pig brothers, and the boring patrol became lively and fragrant.

Although Rhode's festival was messed up, he got acquainted with the three of them.

What reassured Rhodes was that although they insisted that he was pretending to be a pig and weak, they also believed that he was a scout-type character, and assigned him a tactical position of "rear scout", whose duty was to provide tactical early warning.

From Baihua Street, Shitou Street, to Fifth Square, the total length is less than 2000 meters, but it is very gloomy. There are no street lights, and the only light is the spiritual lamps hung outside every household.

This is the first district of the outer city, and it is the place farthest from the holy flame in the entire royal city. The people living here are all poor commoners. Their spiritual lamps are very small and very dim, so the shimmering light cast from the room is also very weak. , can't illuminate the surroundings at all.
