the last king of darkness

Chapter 316 King

Rhodes was very upset, feeling that these people underestimated him too much.

"How do you know we can't solve it?"

Sauron shook his head lightly.

"Little Rhodes, I know that the victories along the way have brought you a lot of confidence, but the Temple of Fire is different."

"We are dealing with the most dangerous crisis and facing the most powerful monsters. We are the last patch in the Trorian defense system, and the last hope when conventional combat power is incapable."

"We must not only be strong, but also stable. Any failure is unacceptable, because it means that our defense system has been broken down."

Sauron looked at him with a serious expression.

"The breakdown of any defense system means disaster, it means thousands of people will die, those are our compatriots, our fathers and sons, brothers, couples, sisters and friends, this is not a joke, it is not an insignificant matter , Our rules are poured with blood and will not change because of one or two special people."

Rhode's heart trembled, and suddenly, he understood the responsibilities of the Temple of Fire and the difficulties faced by those people above the temple.

No one knows that he has dreams, possesses all kinds of magical dream creations and incomprehensible abilities, and he cannot disclose them due to the rules of dreams.

In the eyes of those above the palace, he is a genius with a lot of accumulation, a little guy who has brought them many surprises, a little hero who has saved many people, and a new star with a promising future.

But not a reliable high-level combatant.

His life is still short, and his spiritual power is limited. Although he has many strange means, they don't seem to be stable and effective powers, and it is impossible to judge the specific combat power.

Therefore, such a dangerous task cannot be entrusted to him, and a mature, stable, strong, and foolproof person must be selected to undertake it.

Rhodes understood their thoughts and concerns at once.

But understanding is understanding, Rhodes still has some regrets in his heart.

The king who trusted him the most was not in the Palace of Fire, otherwise this would not have been the case.

Dalin also trusted him, but not to the level of a king, and he didn't know the other speakers.

Maybe I should be more patient.

Rhodes thought.

The sequelae of [Awakening] haven't passed yet, and I don't know enough about the palace, what if it really fails?

I can be resurrected, but others cannot.

Thinking about it this way, the little bit of dissatisfaction in my heart disappeared in an instant.

Sauron has been watching Rhodes' expression, seeing his brows stretched and his expression frank, knowing that he has figured out the joints, he praised: "Yes, little Rhodes, your aptitude is very high, but the stronger one is yours. heart and will."

"To be honest, you always make me feel that you are not like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth, but like a mature and determined adult."

Rhodes smiled, of course he couldn't explain that he was actually an adult.

Lasuo on the side clapped his hands abruptly, and suddenly an expression of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"No wonder you know how to use your ability to spy on girls taking a shower. Ordinary innocent young people really can't figure it out."

The atmosphere that had been created with great difficulty disappeared suddenly.

Rhodes said angrily: "Where did you hear the rumor? Can you stop slandering my noble personality?"

Russo raised his bushy eyebrows.

"Really? Haven't you seen a woman take a bath?"

Just as Rhodes wanted to deny it, he suddenly remembered that he had actually watched the movie of Lord Olivia, one of the four knight commanders, and he still had it with him.

And this little movie was given to him by Sauron, who was suppressing a smile.

"Teacher Sauron..."

Rhodes frowned and asked hesitantly.

"Did you spread the rumor?"

Sauron immediately denied it: "How is it possible? What's the benefit of me spreading such rumors? You are my student, and if your reputation is ruined, I will also be affected."

Rhodes glanced at him suspiciously, and decided not to delve into this matter for the time being, after all, no one would be able to eat good fruit if he pierced through.

Sauron also knew that it was not appropriate to get entangled in this matter, otherwise, not only would his reputation be lost, but Olivia's heart, which was finally moved by him, would also cool down again.

He coughed and said, "Let's stop standing here and go to the fireplace area to take a good rest. The fire there is very suitable for recovery, and there is delicious soul soup. Believe me, you will love the taste of it."

"exactly."

Russo said loudly.

"Soul Soup is the most delicious thing in the world. It can relax your spirit, have a very positive effect on your spirit, and nourish your life essence. The only pity is that you can't drink too much."

He smacked his lips, salivating.

"This is the most regrettable thing in this world."

Sauron laughed and said, "Look at you, let's go."

He turned and walked into the hall, and the two followed behind him.

"Little Rhodes."

On the way, Sauron said in a gentle tone.

"You can spend more time in the hearth area after fighting or training, get to know other high-level combatants, chat with them, understand the battle mode of the Temple of Fire, and learn from their experience, which will be very helpful to you .”

Lasuo patted Rhodes on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Little brother, what the teacher said is right, especially for you who are promoted quickly, lack experience, and do not have a solid foundation. When you encounter rare situations, you may have problems. Knowing that we must never fail, those fighters who are in trouble, when they see that their last backer is helpless, how desperate they should be."

Rhode's heart trembled, and his impression of this unscrupulous cheap senior changed greatly, and he replied seriously: "I understand."

"Great."

Lasso opened his hands, as if embracing the sun.

"Do you know? We have talents that are difficult for ordinary people to reach. Most people will not set foot in high-level combatants like us. We are the chosen ones. We should illuminate others like the sun and spread fire and warmth to the world. .”

He put his hands down and looked at Rhodes, his smile was full of light.

"No one can stop you from becoming stronger, except yourself. Darkness and monsters will never rest. Bring your desperate emotions and become stronger!"

"We are the hope of mankind. Trorian is behind us. There is no way out. We have no choice but to fight."

-

Rhodes really didn't expect that a peeping tom would have such a passionate idea.

After returning to the fireplace area, he took out a large bowl of thick soup from the cauldron on the fire. The bright yellow color was boiling with the breath of life. There was a warm aura emanating from his whole body, like a hot-blooded man burning youth under the setting sun.

"it is good!!"

He gave a loud drink.

"The will of the sun never dies!"

He turned around and headed towards the training area.

Sauron didn't respond to this, and seemed to have gotten used to it.

He filled a bowl of soul soup and handed it over.

"Drink and watch."

The fiery and slightly fragrant breath rushed towards his face, just by smelling it, Rhodes felt that his soul was restless, and his life was full of warmth.

The bright yellow liquid sloshed in the bowl, thick and clear, turning around the edge of the bowl without hanging the cup at all.

It looks good.

Rhodes raised his head and drank it down, only feeling a thread of fire falling into his stomach, and the surging hot breath quickly spread to his limbs and bones.

The mellow and moist taste soaked into the soul like spring rain, and for a moment Rhodes felt as if he was in heaven.

"Wow... this is so delicious! I suddenly don't miss that world anymore."

Sauron asked in surprise, "What world?"

"Uh... There is no black fog in my dream, I can see the sun every day, a world bathed in sunlight."

Sauron sighed: "That must be an extremely happy world. To be honest, I doubt whether such a world exists. Maybe it is just our human fantasy, just the dream of our predecessors when they died in despair. The world may It was dark."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Mr. Sauron, you are a little pessimistic. We were born in the light and grew up in the embers of the fire. Human beings are destined to be the children of light. A world of light must have existed and will definitely appear again in the future. "

"Good boy."

Sauron patted him with a smile.

"Give me a thought lesson, let me tell you, when Kosoy's God of War became famous, you were still wearing crotch pants."

Rhodes asked curiously: "Teacher, what level of combatant are you, and what is your position in the palace?"

Sauron replied quite proudly: "I am a senior knight, a second-level fighter, and a standard 'inhuman'. I can enter the inner hall and wait for the summons of the members of the round table."

"The members of the round table... are the high-level members of the Palace of Fire?"

"Yes, the hall of the round table is the core of the palace of fire. Only the strongest and most capable people can be placed next to the big round table. However, they are all fighting at the moment. The hall is currently presided over by His Excellency Dalin and five guardians. .”

Rhode looked at the bubbling cauldron and asked, "Can I still have a bowl?"

Sauron shook his head: "No, the first bowl of soul soup is as beautiful as heaven, the second bowl of soul soup falls into the abyss, and the third bowl of soul soup is heartbreaking."

"Why is this happening? What is the soul soup made of?"

"Soul element and blood element, soul red crystal, appropriate ashes, and auxiliary condiments, each pot of boiled soul soup has a different taste. This is the most commendable skill. Are you free? You can learn it."

Although Sauron didn't explain why this happened, Rhodes understood it just by listening to the formula.

Both soul element and heme element are combat recovery potions, and soul red crystal is a spiritual potion. They should not be consumed in excess, and they will cause damage if they exceed the limit of life.

Sauron filled the second bowl for himself, drank it happily, and said with a smile: "This is the privilege of the strong. When your life and soul are strong enough, you can drink the second bowl... Wow, this The delicacy is really unsatisfactory, um, this pepper is just right, this pot should be cooked by Professor Barrett."

"Who is he?"

"A great history scholar of the Golden Rose School and a first-class fighter. You will see him in the future. He is a living legend."

Rhodes wrote down his name, and asked again: "Mr. Sauron, do you know what kind of threats the palace will give me?"

Sauron said with a smile: "Threats in the palace are generally divided into four levels, one, two, three, and extra-large threats. Only the third category will be assigned to you."

Rhodes asked curiously: "How is the classification of threats calculated?"

"Individual strong-level monsters, high-level and below, without special abilities, or more than two hundred fierce-level high-level monsters, under normal circumstances, there is a gap in combat power, which is the third type of threat."

"All the threats you encountered in Fanxing Town belong to the third category of threats. According to the usual practice, high-level fighters should be sent to support them. It's just that there was an agreement from the king at that time, and they were also blocked by the elders."

Sauron paused and continued.

"But even then, we have some eyes on that, and if it becomes an emergency, we will still send people over to help."

Rhodes frowned: "Then my expedition mission failed?"

Sauron smiled and said: "No, when the fire of Fanxing Town is ignited, you are destined to succeed. Wangcheng will not give up a territory that belongs to us. The rest of what you do is to attack the power of the elders. , you are so successful that they are excluded from the decision-making circle of the campaign."

"exactly."

A logistics staff came up and said graciously.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, you don't know, those old guys are annoying. Without them, we would be completely quiet, it's so cool!"

Another support staff said: "And your heroic appearance when you cleaned up the upper city, you are so handsome, all of us are very grateful to you."

A group of support staff who were maintaining the fireplace area surrounded them and chattered for a long time before being chased away by the impatient Sauron.

Rhodes coughed dryly, and asked again: "Teacher, what about the second type of threat?"

"Multiple high-ranking and below strong ranks have special abilities. In dangerous or emergency situations, there is a gap in combat power, which is the second type of threat."

"What about the first type of threat?"

Sauron replied briefly: "A super powerful monster."

Rhodes asked strangely: "Is the strong level... the super level very powerful?"

Sauron said solemnly: "Very powerful, very powerful. The abyssal serpent we have killed is a strong super-level. Its threat level has almost no upper limit. In some cases, it can even be upgraded to a super-large threat. "

Rhode's heart trembled. He knew the power of the Abyssal Serpent very well. At the beginning, he formed a battle group with two guardians but failed to kill it in the past. It was Theodore who possessed it again to defeat it.

Theodore is the retired son of fire, even if his strength is not as good as the current son of fire, it is not much worse.

It takes so many people to join forces to kill the Abyss Serpent, which shows how powerful it is.

Rhodes blinked and asked the last question: "What about super threats?"

Sauron only spit out two words.

"King class."

Rhodes was stunned: "King monster?"

"Correct."

Sauron answered briefly.

"A moving natural disaster, a hopeless doomsday, a terrifying disaster, this is the final form of monster evolution, the strongest state that each type of monster can achieve, every time it comes, all the power of the royal city will be activated, and the palace of fire will enter In the highest order battle state, the strongest among us - the son of fire will be dispatched."

"It's the biggest threat we've ever faced."

"Half of the energy of the White Tower is observing the kings within [-] yards from us, and one-third of the power of the investigation legion is monitoring their every move. The Temple of Fire must always retain a part of the highest power to deal with their arrival."

Rhodes said in horror: "Are there many kings near us?"

Sauron showed an unknown smile.

"Many, not many, this is not something you should know now, it is not your turn to participate in the battle with the king class."
