the last king of darkness

Chapter 31 Big Brother

The second half of the patrol was a little dull, but I still encountered some sporadic monsters. They were all in the form of shadows, with various shapes, and they were very weak and could be eliminated easily.

According to Raistlin, these are gray-level monsters, the lowest level of dark creatures born from the black mist, and they are the fly ash on the battlefield, the dust that can be swept away at will, a factor that is never considered in the battle situation.

Even ordinary people, as long as they are brave enough to use weapons, can destroy it.

In areas far away from the sacred flame, they are often encountered during night patrols. Generally speaking, they are not threatening. They are afraid of fire, and as long as the spiritual lamp is not extinguished, they will generally not invade residents' houses.

But if they are not dealt with for a long time, they will mutate in the black mist, or devour each other, or build a nest, and gradually grow into a deadly threat. The black mist will gather here, and more monsters will appear here. Lurking in the dark, launching a terrorist attack on all living, warm, and brightly radiant life forms.

At that time, the investigation legion will unite with the corresponding legion or battle group to form a hunting team to clean up.

"Of course, this is impossible in the royal city."

"Except for the sewers," Caramon added.

"Why?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"Because the sewer is too big, it is very tiring to clean it all the time. We only clean the surface layer to ensure that no monsters come up. Unless there are special circumstances, no one will enter the middle and deep layers of the sewer."

"Why is it so big?"

"I don't know either. It is said that King Trorian used to be the city of giants. Maybe the giants' shit is really big?"

The topic ends here.

Afterwards, they dealt with another special incident. A formed three-headed dog bit the magic lamp and invaded the houses of the residents. The residents woke up and rang the bell. Rhodes saw strange ripples in the air more than 1000 meters away, and told After Raistlin, the four turned around and ran, finally killed the monster at the last moment and saved the family of four.

The man in the room was seriously injured, and his intestines were bitten out. Rhodes thought it was hopeless, but Caramon just stuffed it with his hand, and light blue water rippled from his hand, pressing on his stomach, and the wound healed Healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the man's face was still pale, his breathing gradually stabilized.

The woman hugged Caramon's leg, weeping, and kept thanking them, saying that the family had no money, and that the ringing bell was the cheapest one could be bought, and it was too quiet for the watchman to notice, but the husband said he was lucky, as long as If the lamp is not extinguished, there will be no monsters attacking them. Unexpectedly, bad luck really came.

The two daughters of their family also hugged their mother and cried, saying that they were already desperate, but they were saved unexpectedly, and the four uncles were their heroes.

Caramon was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Thanks to this uncle, he was the one who saw the ripple of the ringing bell, otherwise we would not have known."

Raistlin said seriously: "You are really lucky this time, it's not that Uncle Rhodes has extraordinary vision, you are already corpses, ringing bells is a must-have life-saving item for every family, no matter how poor, this You can’t save any money.”

The two daughters wiped away tears from each other, and Lihua turned to Rhodes with her rainy pretty faces, and said crisply, "Thank you, Brother Rhodes."

-

When he returned to the Iron Cross District Defense Department, Caramon was still feeling sour:
"Why am I the big uncle and he is the big brother?"

Both Raistlin and Iger couldn't help but laugh, and Iger tapped Caramon's knee:
"Look at brother Rhode's white and tender face, it's not much handsomer and younger than you? If you looked like him, why would Donna run away?"

Caramon was furious: "Shut up, you little dwarf!"

"Are you blind? I'm a size seven! Not much shorter than you!"

Before the patrol mission was over, they met the real watchman of this area, a guy wearing half an iron mask, with a stern expression and no words.

According to Raistlin, the official guards are all combatants above level seven, far stronger than them, and they are the real backing of an area, used to deal with various dangerous situations that the patrols cannot handle. The whistle and flares are used to call him.

However, this guy had no intention of communicating with them, and brushed past them indifferently, handing over the task to the chief of defense.

It seemed that tonight's mission went very well. The chief of defense in the Iron Cross District couldn't close his legs with a smile, and the big scar on his face became kinder, and he kept praising him.

"Yes, yes, the boys are really good, I knew you were the best, Reed, you are also good, and you, Casey, of course, the best is our Lulu, oh... As for Luo De, I can only say that I am worthy of being a special student. You have handed in a perfect answer sheet. The Tracy family will remember you for a lifetime. I will write my evaluation in detail, and your teacher will be proud of you. "

Rhodes felt a little embarrassed. Except for the last incident, he hardly played any role. The monsters he encountered were too weak to warn him. Even the final patrol report was written by Raistlin. The one on the thigh was regarded as the captain by the chief of defense.

The three of Raistlin didn't mind, though.

On the way back to Kingworth College in the double-decker hearse, they all expressed their satisfaction with Rhodes' partner. His super-powerful vision made up for the lack of stone and wood cores of all of them, and the jokes he told were very vivid and interesting. It's exciting, they are looking forward to tomorrow's task.

This made Rhodes finally relieved. It seemed that the three thighs had been successfully hugged.

Sure enough, nasty jokes are the fastest way for men to make friends.

Back in the dormitory, Rhodes finally had time to sort out the harvest of this trip.

Overall, the patrol mission this time was very successful, his goal was preliminarily achieved, and he obtained more than 90 dusty souls in total.

However, even if all of them were added, "Bitter Blue" was still in a "weakly burning" state, and the intensity had only increased from two to three.

You know, when Rhodes first ignited it, its strength was thirteen.

Perhaps because these monsters are too weak, the obtained souls are also very weak.

The word dust is a good illustration of this point.

I want to get more and stronger souls as soon as possible, and it is best to reach the "constant burning" state of "Darkness Devourer".

Rhodes thought.

but……

He looked at the bullets in the spirit gun with a little worry, only five of the fifty real silver bullets were left.

I still owe 350 silver to the merchant and haven't paid it.

Moreover, Kassan still has two hundred silver cords of water tower money, and she didn't say that she didn't have to pay it back.

I haven't saved a penny, and the foreign debt has reached five hundred and five.

Money is also now an issue.

I can only find a way to borrow some.

As long as you can get the Golden Worth Star, you will have [-] silver wires, and paying back the money is not a problem at all.

Thoughts were fixed, Rhodes lay on the bed and was about to take a good rest, but felt shaken awake just as he closed his eyes.

"Class is on! Slacker!"

Rhodes opened his eyes reluctantly, and saw Kassan's bright light blue eyes and golden hair swaying around her pretty cheeks.

This girl is becoming less and less evasive now, and opens his room door every time, no matter what he is doing.

Perhaps it was because of too much spiritual energy consumption last night, Rhodes had a splitting headache and was really sleepy, saying:

"How about you go? I want to sleep for a while."

Kashan's willow eyebrows immediately stood up. She dragged Rhodes off the bed, put on his shoes herself, and pulled him out of the room.

The students in the tenth group were already waiting outside, and almost everyone looked at the drowsy Rhodes with admiration—none of them dared to say such outrageous words in front of Kashan. Similarly, like this No one has the treatment except Rhodes, Kashan will only wake people up with her iron fist.

——She is the only person in the whole group who has learned to use the fire seed ability. Her two fire seeds are "steel giant power" and "iron hardening", both of which are very powerful physical abilities. her opponent.

Not only does this make her the symbol of Group Ten and the idol of the cadets, but it also makes her a nightmare for male cadets like Wayne and Green Hair.

Along the way, Kashan kept emphasizing the importance of this class, saying that it was a course specially adjusted by the academy for them, and it would be very useful for the next patrol and duty. At the same time, she warned them that the selection of department groups had already started, and everyone had to fight With the spirit of [-], strive to let the ten groups be selected as excellent department groups.

This is not only an honor, but also many reward materials, especially the essential oil of dragon hands grass and the powder of colorful spores, which have a great effect on their ability to awaken spiritual energy and develop their abilities.

This last point is of great concern to all.

Nobody wants to awaken psionic energy, the ability to use their own soul spark.

As for the ten groups, nearly half of the people have not been able to awaken their psionic energy, and Kashan is the only one who can use their own spark ability.

This result is really not excellent. Among the ten groups of the ten departments, the rankings are all bottom, and it is even missing in the entire three academies.

Therefore, Kashan has become impatient recently, and no one dares to disobey her.

Of course, except Rhodes.

He is the best person in the ten groups except Kashan, and he is very likely to be selected as the "Golden Worth Star". This will also give a lot of points to the ten groups.

Therefore, Kashan is also very tolerant of him.

But Wayne and the green hair don't envy him at all. Being married by such a wife, I'm afraid they won't have a good life in the future.

-

In class, Rhodes forcibly pulled himself together, no matter what, he had to get the "Golden Worth Star" medal.

His goal is to be number one in the whole grade, and free access to the academy is not only the basis of his series of actions, but also his hope for survival.

This class is "Common Monster Habits and Characteristics", which is a big class.

The teacher is a nervous old man with gray hair and wrinkled face, one eye is blind, and his right leg is a prosthesis.

"alert!"

As soon as he entered the classroom door, he yelled, which startled everyone.
