the last king of darkness

Chapter 308 Palace of Fire
Molly was one of the people who supported Rhodes to enter the Temple of Fire.

She is very clear that the current situation is very delicate, and the high-level officials in Wangcheng are also hesitating.

At this time, only a small change is needed to break the balance and tilt the balance.

After the huge threat of the Wither Lord was wiped out, Molly has never been so sure at that moment that Rhodes will change the royal city and the hopeless fate of mankind.

Her greatest wish in this life is to let everyone see the dawn of humanity after they truly understand the world.

-

Above the royal city.

The tallest mountain in the Ash Mountains.

The thick black mist was separated by a barrier of flames, and a fiery red castle was located in the center of this circular barrier.

Temple of Fire.

On the big round table, since the seven sons of fire and the four captains of knights are not in the hall, the five guardians and the first defense chief Lin are in charge of routine affairs.

Due to the heavy pressure brought by the expansion, Lin Gangyi, the head of the first defense, also had a deep tiredness on his face. He smoked his cigarette one after another, burying himself in the smog.

"The crisis of Courage Fortress is still not over, they need more high-level combatants."

"I'll go." The guardian Churchell said.

"No." Dalin shook his head slightly, "You have more important tasks, and the strange ghosts in the dead land have changed again. You must be on standby at any time, otherwise Rovia will be in danger."

Churchill was silent.

Qing Yu, the guardian and candidate for the king, raised his eyebrows and said, "I can go to support them."

"What about the abyss fissure in the twelve defense zones?"

"I can let the white wolf guard the defense zone, and his emptiness can prevent cracks from opening underground entrances."

"But time is limited, and his spiritual energy won't last long."

"A Luo can help him replenish his spiritual energy."

Jon the Guardian and Candidate for King objected.

"A Luo only has eighth-level spiritual power, and she won't be able to replenish it for long."

Qingyu said lightly: "Ah Luo's characteristics have already bloomed into the ninth flower, and her psychic assimilation can quickly digest and replenish psychic potions. As long as the potions continue, her psychic power is almost unlimited."

Jon frowned and accused: "It's inhumane for you to use her like this. The side effects of overdose of psychic potions will damage her soul. As a holder of the first type of characteristics, she will be of great use in the future, and cannot Such a waste."

Qingyu lowered her brows slightly: "There is no way to do this, I will deal with the threat of Fortress of Courage as soon as possible."

Jon's tone was dissatisfied: "You are irresponsible. There is no specific time, no detailed plan, and it is impossible to defeat the monster just based on your feeling."

Dalin knocked on the table, interrupting their quarrel.

"Jon, what can you do?"

Jon immediately said: "Your Excellency Dalin, I have a new candidate."

He quickly dug out a report from under a pile of papers and presented it to the big round table.

"The defender of Fanxing Town, Rhodes, has completed the coordination of body and soul, and is infinitely close to the standard of a third-level combatant. He can be approved as a reserve member of the Temple of Fire."

Dalin frowned.

"What do you mean?"

Jon said calmly: "I think he can clean up the chasm of the abyss, and Qingyu will go to support the fortress of courage."

"no!"

Guardian Lilivi immediately objected.

"Little Rhodes' current strength is far from enough to become a reserve member of the Temple of Fire, which is too dangerous for him."

Another petite guardian also said: "Even if he becomes a reserve member, such a dangerous task is not suitable for him."

Dalin smoked a cigarette, but did not agree with Jon's idea.

"The rift that appeared in the No.12 defense area may be a big rift. Although it is not comparable to the huge rift in Laisuo City, there will be no super-level monsters like the abyss snake, but there may be blasphemers. High-level powerful monsters, this is the second type of threat, at least requires combat power above the human level, reserve members cannot deal with this type of threat."

Facing everyone's opposition, Jon just smiled slightly.

"I have several reasons, please listen carefully."

"First, Rhodes participated in the Iron Armor Battle Fortress and participated in the operation to eliminate the abyss fissure. It can even be said that the two large and small abyss fissures that appeared near the city of Leso were destroyed by himself, although His Excellency Theodore existed. factors, but there is no denying that he has similar experience."

Everyone nodded slightly. The abyss rift in the Kuroshio is very dangerous. The huge rift that appeared that time directly led to the fall of Theodore, one of the highest combat forces in the royal city.

Without Rhodes, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jon continued.

"Second, although in our opinion, Rhode's absolute strength is not enough, but based on his past record, he is definitely qualified for this task. You may think that it is a factor of many coincidences, but there are so many similar coincidences. This time, it's definitely not something that can be explained by Theodore's last soul ripple."

"Thirdly, I can send Vivienne and Vilas to assist him, and Qingyu can send White Wolf and A Luo to assist him, and there are taboos like Mephis in his Black Battlegroup. The odds of the mission are high."

The room was silent, and everyone was silently thinking about his words.

Gradually, everyone focused their attention on Qingyu.

But the latter suddenly showed a sunny smile.

"Thank you, Jon."

Jon shook his greasy long hair, and returned a cold smile: "You're welcome."

Dalin threw away his half-smoked cigarette and said seriously.

"Then it's settled, Qingyu, you immediately go to help the Fortress of Courage, and everyone else, return to their respective battle sequences. Rhodes officially entered the Palace of Fire and became a reserve member, responsible for dealing with the abyss rift in the No. 12 defense zone."

Everyone had no opinion and left.

The burden on everyone is heavy, and they don't have much time to stay here.

But before leaving, Dalin stopped Jon.

Jon turned his head, with cold eyes under his long greasy hair.

"What's the matter? Your Excellency Dalin."

Dalin said flatly: "Your Excellency Jon, in the Palace of Fire, only matters related to human safety are discussed. Don't bring Wang Zheng here."

Jon sneered and said, "Your Excellency Dalin, what are you talking about? I just proposed a solution to the problem, and isn't this solution accepted by you?"

Dalin raised his eyes, his sharp eyes pierced through the mist, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.

"Jon, we all know what you're doing."

Jon said impatiently: "So what? I showed my ability and my wisdom, what's wrong? Don't we choose the best king? If Qingyu has a better way, she can also propose it , I will also recognize her excellence."

Dalin said calmly: "Jon, Qingyu just doesn't want to fight."

Jon sneered, "That's just her strategy."

"Your thinking is too complicated."

Dalin shook his head slightly.

"It's one-sided to interpret everything according to your idea. Your idea is too intense, and many elders don't like it."

Jon snorted coldly: "What can I do if I don't like it? Wang Zheng has already heated up. I can only move forward. One day, you will see that I was right."

He turned around and left the round table hall without looking back.

At the big round table, there was only Dalin left.

"Hopefully."

He sighed softly, and turned his attention to Rhodes' report.

"You can still surprise us like before."

Complicated thoughts flashed by, and he returned to his busy work.

In this special period, he will always have endless things to do.

-

Fanxing Town.

Rhodes never expected that he would enter the Palace of Fire so quickly.

Originally thought that he would have to wait for him to upgrade [Star Shuttle] to its full state and pass the third-level combat rating before he could become a member of the Temple of Fire.

Unexpectedly, after just quantifying [Justice Execution], his coordination state has been completed by itself.

The messenger of the Temple of Fire arrived as promised and announced that he was allowed to enter the Temple of Fire and become a member of its reserve.

At the same time, the messenger also gave him a task to support the No. 12 defense area and eliminate the abyssal fissures that appeared due to the huge spiritual energy disturbance.

This is a double happiness!

Rhodes was extremely excited. He was worried that he could not find powerful monsters, and the income from slaughtering some dust every day was simply negligible.

Molly's eyes were full of joy, as if she saw a new hope rising.

Correct.

she thought to herself.

What I feel, others feel too.

-

After saying goodbye to Molly, Rhodes quickly embarked on the journey.

The No.12 defense area is exactly the defense area that Miss Qingyu belongs to. It is located on the outside of the Red Earth Plain, at the junction of the middle and inner layers of the defense circle. There are 67 towns and more than 100 villages.

The population is not very large, but it is an important resource-producing area of ​​Trorian.

In particular, its sunstone veins are the most important source of phlogiston in the entire royal city.

Qingyu is the supreme guardian of this area. She has a dedicated guardian castle, where her battle group and the defense force of the entire defense area are stationed.

They are the main force to maintain the security of the entire defense zone.

But now, this defense zone is being affected by a huge threat.

An abyssal fissure was detected underground in the defense zone. It has entered an active state, continuously releasing monsters and pollution into the defense zone, and has become the source of disaster in this area.

But the guardian Qingyu couldn't clear up this threat due to another urgent task, so Rhodes was urgently promoted to the Temple of Fire, and made a special trip to support the defense zone and destroy the abyss rift.

Along the way, the envoy told him the whole story and the details of the mission in detail.

Only then did Rhodes understand what was going on, and thought to himself that it was indeed Molly, he had made a good plan, and he must thank her well when he goes back.

Hahaha.

Soon, they arrived at the guardian castle of the No.12 defense area.

This is a majestic castle standing on a high mountain, emitting a strong fire light. There is also a huge lighthouse on the castle. The snow-bright beam of light sweeps across the black mist like a giant sword, guiding the path of all travelers nearby.

This section of the road is also the safest in the entire twelve defense zones.

When Rhodes arrived at the castle, he found that Vilas, Vivienne, A Luo, and the white-haired uncle were all waiting for him in front of the gate.

The messenger bowed slightly.

"They are your assistants in this mission and will fight side by side with you. May the fire walk with you."

After speaking, he turned and returned to the carriage.

A flash of spiritual light flashed, and the carriage soared into the air, disappearing beyond the flames.

Vilas stepped forward and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Rhodes, I'm glad we met again..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.

"Little Rhodes—"

Ah Luo cheered, and rushed forward to hug him.

"I miss you!"

The nephrite jade was full of fragrance, and Rhodes didn't want to let it go for a while.

But she was quickly pulled back by the gloomy white wolf.

"What are you doing, Uncle White Wolf! Why did you interrupt my reunion with Little Rhodes?"

"Shut up! Ms. Qingyu's unmarried partner, what are you doing?"

"I like it, don't you? Sister Qingyu's is mine too."

She turned her head.

"Right, little Rhodes, do you like me?"

Under the white wolf's murderous gaze, Rhodes changed the subject bravely.

"Let's hurry up and destroy the abyss fissure."
