the last king of darkness

Chapter 294 Explosion
Although Rhodes was very reasonable, neither Wang nor Horus agreed with him.

This is so out of the ordinary.

Although under the protection of the king, this trick is likely to succeed, it is not an unforgivable sin for some obviously tainted guys to be killed by heroes out of a sense of justice, not to mention that Rhodes has basically reserved the Palace of Fire. For Wangcheng, who lacks high-level combat power, the position is not only an irreparable mistake, but it can be forgiven.

But the king intends to shape Rhodes into a greater image and become a banner of the king's city, just like Alan.

Such stains are absolutely unacceptable.

However, Rhodes doesn't really want to be such a public figure, he will be burdened by idols.

He tried to convince them.

"Wang, you know, I used to be known as the king of the sewers. I killed monsters such as maggots and mice in a dirty environment every day. It was not high-end at all, and my reputation was not very good. I used to be... cough , The fact that I occasionally went to Hongfang Street has become widely known, and now everyone knows that I am an old pervert... It is difficult to change the reputation of this person who yearns for the love of the opposite sex."

After the words were finished, both Wang and Horus showed kind smiles.

"Little Rhodes, you don't have to worry about this, they are not stains."

Wang said with a smile.

"In fact, it is exactly your strength, and we officially consider making you the flag of the royal city based on this point."

Horus added: "Not everyone is suitable to be in the public eye. Of the eleven super fighters, only Alan has come to the foreground. The others are just a powerful background."

Rhodes nodded, this is the truth.

Until now, he only knew the names of the first knight Alan and the moon knight Olivia, the other two great knight commanders, and the seven sons of fire, he didn't even know their names.

Horus continued: "Those who can step onto the front stage must have enough legendary color, absolutely conform to the image of the will of fire, and preferably have an excellent appearance. Come with faith and hope."

"Alan is undoubtedly the perfect candidate, but over the years, we have also discovered a problem, his image is too tall and too far away, there will be a sense of strangeness, not close enough to normal people."

Horus paused and continued.

"But you are different. Your growth is step by step. Although it is very fast, there is still a track to follow, and there are also amazing legends."

"The most important thing is that you have dug shit in the sewer, you have found a woman in Hongfang Street, you are not a perfect symbol, but a living person, with emotions and desires, what you have done, many people have done it But it creates a special sense of intimacy.”

Wang nodded slightly.

"Xiao Hehe is right. Alan is indeed the perfect banner, but he is so perfect that he has become a shortcoming. We need another person to make up for this shortcoming."

"Wangcheng wanted to raise a second flag a long time ago, and your appearance just met all our needs."

Horus went on to say: "When these two banners are set up in the royal city, everyone can find their belongings on them. The perfect good man Alan, and the evil and evil man Rhodes, everyone has what they need, and everyone can get what they want. Find your spiritual sustenance."

Rhodes covered his face, not knowing what to say.

"Actually, I'm also a good man..."

Horus smiled and said: "Don't pretend, the nun order you dreamed of has been prepared for you, they will become your direct subordinates, each nun is the best healer in the healing order, and is equipped with Your favorite black silk of the wind..."

Rhodes said angrily: "You guys are arrogant and prejudiced. Although I am a little bit unruly on the surface, deep down, I am a pure young man as clear as water. I don't know what love is..."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll just ask you if you want it?"

"……want."

Puchi.

The bishops on the side couldn't help laughing.

Horus also showed a strange smile, but immediately restrained himself, coughed, and continued.

"I have already solved the problem of the personnel transfer of the Black Wargroup for you, but let me remind you that the transfer of Mephis is a special case. In principle, emergency armed personnel are not allowed to be transferred to other legions or wargroups."

"But you are a Trorian hero, and you have made such a great contribution to us, so I will make an exception for you. The leader of the Forbidden Armed Forces, Lionbeck, will be responsible for all her seal issues, so you don't have to worry."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I don't think Memphis is dangerous at all. Most of your predictions are wrong. They may be rumors deliberately spread by Doomsday Cultists."

Horus sighed.

"I hope so, but her three soul characteristics are still very dangerous after all, especially mind control. We don't want to see tragedies that could have been avoided."

"Don't worry." Rhodes said with a smile: "I have very high mental resistance, and no one can control me."

Horus nodded, he knew that.

"Rhode, I must remind you that the Black Warband is your subordinate, and the value of everyone in it is to cooperate with you in the battle. You should not pull people into your battleband for any other purpose. If you have any needs You can tell the Wangcheng Service Department, or tell me directly."

Horus looked into his eyes, serious.

"Don't mix selfish desires and personal feelings with combat-related matters. What a qualified combatant needs to consider is how to win."

Rhode knew that the archbishop had misunderstood, and said seriously: "You can investigate all the battle process, Molly, Mephis, and Annabelle are all very useful to me, and they can cooperate with my ability to play a stronger role." Effect."

Horus nodded.

"I'm just reminding you, after all, you are too young, too inexperienced, suddenly occupying a high position and holding a lot of power, I am afraid that you will not be able to recognize the facts and go astray."

Rhodes said solemnly: "Your Excellency Archbishop, please rest assured that although I look young, I am already a mature and reliable man in my heart."

Horus smiled and said, "That would be great, let's become a third-level combatant as soon as possible, we really lack high-level combatants."

"I will."

"Also, don't give Annabelle any more soul potions."

Rhodes asked strangely: "Why?"

"I can't tell you this, anyway, it's fine if you don't give it."

Rhodes felt strange, but he didn't ask further, guessing that these medicines might not be suitable for her, so she couldn't take too much.

Horus said again: "Becoming a banner is a matter of the future, but we have to start thinking about it now. Some fatal stains are absolutely not allowed to touch, such as killing or framing companions. This is the biggest taboo of Trorian. Even just having this suspicion will make you an object of exclusion."

Rhodes frowned: "You said those people are companions?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "At least on the surface, they have all kinds of high-sounding reasons to explain their actions. The evidence for the truly dangerous behavior has been wiped out, but according to our investigation, at least hundreds of people are involved in it." people, including several elders."

Rhodes suddenly felt the space in front of him shake, and countless double images overwhelmed his vision. It took several seconds for him to realize that the center of the vision came from the king.

Rhodes subconsciously opened the eyes of the soul, and saw fluctuations in the king's soul, and that special waveform represented anger.

Rhodes knew that the human soul would fluctuate differently with emotions, but it was the first time he had seen the vision of space caused by the change of the soul alone.

This vision came and went quickly, Wang's soul quickly calmed down, he said lightly.

"These people have completely degenerated, and he can't see anything but his own interests in his soul. They hide in the dark, and they are far more harmful to us than stronger monsters. In the war with the fallen king city, we These pests are absolutely not allowed to exist in the rear.”

Archbishop Horus took the words:
"Although they are now inactive, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, and extremely loyal, it is a matter of Trorian's life and death, and a little mistake cannot be tolerated. If there is no opportunity for you, we will use thunder to eliminate them, but since you are here, We can minimize the loss as much as possible."

Rhode looked solemn, and asked in a deep voice, "What should I do now?"

The Archbishop said, "Remember your role as Hand of the King?"

Rhodes nodded.

"We will make you the captain of the King's Hand and the adjudicator of the Internal Affairs Tribunal. Then, we will create the palace bombing attack, which is the most serious incident. As the captain of the King's Hand, you are eligible for the highest investigation authority. "

Rhodes said solemnly: "I understand, don't worry, all the people on the list will be doomsday cultists who attacked the palace and tried to murder the king."

Horus laughed and said: "What are you thinking? What we give you is the power to search and investigate anyone. You have the right to use any means to investigate the people on the list, grab their tails, and bring them to justice. It’s not about framing and retaliating.”

Rhodes was very disappointed.

You are not cruel at all, and those who achieve great things do not care about small things. At this time, being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

He agreed on the surface, but he had made up his mind in his heart, even if there was no evidence, he would kill all those maggots, lest there would be another disgusting person.

For Rhodes, the most disgusting thing in this world is that you are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but there are villains stabbing you in the back.

To make matters worse, they are among the people you are desperately trying to protect.

They happily eat your blood steamed buns, while you lie on the cold ground and watch your blood flood your vision, this is the greatest tragedy in the world.

Rhodes is not such an open-minded person, he is very stingy, and absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to happen.

These guys must be killed.

The conversation was quickly over, and the king called a great assembly in his palace.

Many important figures from the royal city participated, and all members of the King's Guard were present.

The king announced Rhodes' exploits at the rally, promoting him to captain the King's Hand.

No one had a problem, and every member of the King's Guard cheered for the birth of the new captain.

Lucien, the head of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, also attended the rally.

He inadvertently announced the promotion of the Rhodes investigator to the adjudicator.

This appointment did not cause any waves. Rhodes had been named in the Internal Affairs Tribunal very early, and the adjudicator was not a high-level position.

In this way, the first half of the plan has been completed, and the next step is to wait for the palace to be attacked by the "Doomsday Cultists".

Of course, during this period, you can't just wait.

In reality, a pest removal program is but one of countless important things.

During the period when Wangcheng is about to transform into an expansion wartime system, there are countless things that need to be prepared.

In the Supreme Council, after several days of discussions between the king and the elders, they finally reached a consensus.

The elders made a lot of concessions, and even agreed that the king would take full control of the war, and the elders would not intervene unless necessary.

In this way, even if there is some unreasonable expansion, the elders cannot stop it.

The reason why the group of elders can achieve this point is that the expansion experience of Fanxing Town shared by Rhodes during the meeting played a pivotal role.

Of course, this has a little to do with Rhodes increasing the output share of the true silver vein from [-]% to [-]%.

Although the elders regard money as dung, their sons, grandchildren and relatives still have to eat.

Everyone is happy is the real happiness.

Although in this way, the true silver mines, which are already expensive, will not make money at all, and may even lose money.

But Rhodes doesn't care, he still has full ownership of the star ruby ​​veins and super-large copper-iron veins, which are enough to support the development of Fanxing Town.

Fanxing Town is currently being managed by Molly on his behalf. This capable female deputy can handle all affairs, so don't worry.

As soon as the negotiation was over, Wang Cheng officially began to turn around.

Everyone is busy, and Rhodes is no exception.

Although the attack hadn't happened yet, and he didn't have the right to in-depth investigation into Wangcheng's high-level officials for the time being, it wasn't difficult to make some preparations.

After Rhodes became the captain of the King's Hand, he was already one of the high-level officials in the royal city.

The King's Guard shoulders the duty of guarding the sacred fire sacrificial field and the palace, and has a very high authority.

As a captain-level character, Rhodes also has great power. The entire royal city is unimpeded to him. No matter where he goes, he will not be blocked. Everyone who sees him respects him.

The remaining six justices personally came to apologize to him, saying that they were not familiar with the four justices including Gregor at all.

These four people had evil intentions at first glance, they never bothered to be with them, the great and righteous Lord Rhodes killed so well, they all agreed with it.

Rhodes didn't care, and sent them away casually.

Whether they are guilty or not depends on the results of future investigations.

With the beginning of these six justices, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit.

Rhode greeted them with a smile, and recorded them one by one on the list, preparing to check them later.

Outside of work, Rhodes' practice has not fallen behind.

Although psionic energy will automatically go to the state of coordination between spirit and body after reaching level 8, active adjustment can guarantee the best effect.

This is a very important matter, which is related to his future growth.

Of course, the core of his real growth lies in the dream.

The dream during this time was exceptionally peaceful, the book of knowledge was eaten and slept all day long, and there was less time to talk about him.

Rhodes wasn't even used to it, but he knew that it was trying to restore its soul, so he didn't bother, and specially piled up the spirituality in the storage place on the outer layer to make it easier for it to eat.

Now Rhodes' spirituality has exceeded 10 copies, and it is impossible to finish the book of knowledge no matter how much he eats.

This pissed off the book of knowledge.

It originally wanted to secretly eat up Rhodes' spirituality to retaliate against his promiscuous behavior, but it didn't expect this guy to pile up spirituality for it to eat, and it couldn't finish it, so revenge became a joke.

What made it even more angry was that its soul recovered very slowly, and many memories could not be retrieved, nor could it remember where the fragments of the dream were scattered.

Dreamland has not found new fragments for a long time, and the road to recovery is far away.

This worried the Book of Knowledge very much.

The only way now is to make preparations as soon as possible. If Rhodes can efficiently hunt down powerful spirit world monsters and let Rhode's strength grow rapidly, the possibility of him coming into contact with dream fragments will be greater.

This is also a no-brainer. At present, we can only use this method of finding a needle in a haystack to find fragments.

Rhodes is already making dream creations at the fastest speed. After acquiring the big workshop and many assistants, Mephis' efficiency has been greatly improved, and he can provide a lot of materials every day.

However, it also takes time to make items on the stone platform.

Even though it was working around the clock, it couldn't meet Rhodes' needs.

It seems that it will take some time to start the hunting trip in the spirit world.

Therefore, Rhodes can only coordinate his body and soul every day, exercise the [Star Shuttle], and take time to learn advanced combat skills.

In addition, during this period, Rhodes also finished writing "Rhodes' Electricity" by the way, and delivered it to Mina and her teacher Amides.

Mina is very shameless about taking the knowledge in ancient books as her own and naming them, but she is also fascinated by the systematic knowledge in electricity. In the process of studying Rhodes' books, many doubts suddenly come to light. , A lot of bits and pieces of knowledge were integrated, she was immersed in the research of lightning all at once, so that there was always lightning and thunder in her laboratory.

Amides pampered his disciples, and even went to battle with them in the sea of ​​thunder and lightning.

But a university student is a university student after all. He quickly understood Rhodes's not-so-complicated book on electricity, and vaguely felt that this was a complete system, and there was more and more extensive knowledge on top of it.

Amides quickly returned to Wangcheng, and invited Rhodes to be a guest on behalf of the highest society in Wangcheng - Jinworth Society as a university scholar.

Rhodes naturally had no reason to refuse.

In fact, he had long wanted to get in touch with these representatives of the most advanced knowledge in Trorian, to understand what the knowledge system developed by humans in such an environment looked like.

The two sides quickly agreed on a time, the tenth day of October.

This is a special day. It is the day when the legendary chaos first opened and the world was born. It is also the date when the great priest of life, Roporte, successfully hybridized the first mussel.

The meeting of knowledge on this special day has extraordinary and special significance, and it entrusts the good wishes of both parties to use knowledge to save the world.

Not only the Golden Worth Society, but the White Tower also invited Rhodes, and the Golden Worth Academy, the Hidden Branch, and the Hunter Group also followed up, inviting Rhodes to go back often.

Rhodes set a date with them one by one.

Now he seems to be a busy person, exhausted every day, and occasionally when Molly comes back from Fanxing Town, he is even more exhausted.

Although she didn't need to make a special trip back, she could communicate with the Spirit Crow Messenger, but Molly thought that if she didn't come back, Rhode's mind would be full of women again, which would affect efficiency.

For the sake of the future of all mankind, she had no choice but to sacrifice.

Just like that, the days passed by.

Everyone is fully preparing for the upcoming war, but what is different from the past is that this time, everyone has enthusiastic expectations. The appearance of Fanxing Town has greatly relieved their living pressure and improved their living conditions.

Everyone is eager to get more living space.

There is also the more powerful kingdom of Trorian.

Rhodes is the same.

Without a prosperous world, how could he enjoy this prosperous happiness?
Just when he was about to continue working hard.

The palace exploded.
