the last king of darkness

Chapter 317 The Shining Geniuses of the Stars
Sauron didn't go any further in this direction, but instead talked about many details of the palace's routine operations.

From Sauron's words, Rhodes gained a lot of valuable experience, knowing that the temple is not just Trorian's last line of defense, at some point, they even have to intercept dangerous monsters outside the defense circle to prevent them from further Close to Trorian.

In addition to combat missions, the temple also has other missions, such as rescue, escort, detection, search and so on.

Rhodes had a preliminary understanding of the role a high-level combatant should play.

Sauron wanted to say more, but an emissary from the palace came to tell him that he needed to recover quickly and prepare for the next battle.

At the same time, the flame symbol on Sauron's collar also changed.

Under the double flames, a ray of light was spinning and flickering.

Rhodes now knows that this is a reminder to him that his battle order will be improved, and he should prepare for battle as soon as possible.

After Sauron told Rhodes some precautions, he left in a hurry.

When Rhodes thought he was going to be alone again, many people came back outside one after another.

These returning strong and quasi-strong people almost immediately went straight to the fireplace area, rushed to the hanging pot on the fireplace, picked up the bowl beside it and started to fill the soup.

All of a sudden, the sounds of gurgling and satisfied sighs came and went continuously.

"Ah! I feel like I'm alive again."

"Ghouls are really terrifying. Without this bowl of soul soup, I would definitely not be able to sleep tonight."

"It's so delicious... Today's soul soup must be cooked by Mr. Barrett."

"The teacher's craftsmanship is amazing, when will I have such a good craftsmanship."

"I've heard that adding more salt to the soup will make it taste better."

"Impossible! It is obviously sugar and honey! There is no sweet smell in the delicious soul soup, how to heal the soul?"

"You know what a fart, the soul is salty, and only a soup with a suitable saltiness can soak the soul in the most comfortable hot spring."

"fallacy……"

The two sides quarreled fiercely over this, and no one even noticed Rhodes on the side.

Rhodes blended into them calmly, and unexpectedly found that the group of people were about the same age as him.

The flame emblems on their collars were identical to his, indicating that they were members of the same reservists as he was.

Rhodes understood immediately.

These must be the other geniuses he had heard so often about.

Generally speaking, the moment geniuses ignite the fire of their souls and become the fire holders, they show their powerful talents, and thus quickly embark on a path completely different from ordinary people.

Because Rhodes started too late, he didn't have many intersections with them.

And he is a typical fighter, suitable for growing up in battle, so the experience along the way is also very different from them.

For a long time, I have only heard of their reputation, but no one who has seen them.

When Rhodes was thinking about how to join the group chat quietly, he suddenly heard a person screaming.

"Aren't you Rhodes?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned, and Rhodes received a warm attention ceremony again.

This is not the first time this kind of thing happened, he waved his hand friendly and said with a smile: "It's me."

The crowd gathered around at once.

"Is that you?"

"It can't be fake, right? I've met several fake Rhodes in a row."

"That's right, I slept with him all night in vain, I'm so mad at you."

Rhode's eyes moved over for a moment, and he was very sorry to find that this was a pretty good beauty.

pity.

He coughed and said, "Hi everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you here..."

"Don't talk nonsense, are you Rhodes?"

Rhodes said with a smile: "If it's true, I just passed the test today and joined the hall. I'm still a reserve member. Please take care of me."

There was a booming sound from the crowd.

"It's him... yes, it's him!"

"Wow, I finally met a real person!"

"Let me touch it!"

"Oh my God, I finally saw my idol!"

"Fanxing Town is the biggest miracle I have ever seen in my life!"

"No, no, it's cleaning the upper city!"

……

Rhodes never expected that he would be so popular in the Temple of Fire.

These are not ordinary logistics personnel or production personnel, but high-level fighters who have officially entered the field of the strong.

Although they are also very young, generally speaking, the pride of being a strong person will not make them so obviously worship a person who is about their age.

Rhodes didn't know why, but it didn't prevent him from using this to quickly get acquainted with them.

He has superhuman talent at this point, and soon, they became acquainted, talking about brothers and shutting down sisters.

From them, Rhodes obtained more and more useful information. After all, Sauron's position was higher, and he didn't know many low-level things clearly.

For example, the members of the palace reserve are more likely to join a certain battle as a supplementary combat force.

As long as there is a major battle, reserve members are usually dispatched.

So Rhodes can wait patiently for a while.

During the expansion of the kingdom to the west, there were countless battles, large and small.

There's no way he didn't have a chance.

After understanding this point clearly, Rhodes was completely relieved and chatted with them casually.

This group of people was very happy to communicate with him, and Rhodes didn't even ask much, they poured out what they knew like beans in a bamboo tube.

From their mouths, Rhodes knew that they were all academics—students who grew up in the standard environment of the academy. They were characterized by solid foundation and theory, and slightly less combat experience.

At the same time, most of them are also special students. They achieved excellent results in the graduation trials, directly crossed the hierarchy, and became fourth-level or fifth-level combatants in one fell swoop, and achieved further growth in a short period of time. Entered the Temple of Fire and became a reserve member.

"Are there many people like you?" Rhodes asked.

Ryan from Qingcao Town replied: "According to the statistics of the society, it's about [-] out of [-]."

The beauty who was prostituted for nothing said in surprise: "Is it so few? Why do I feel like I have quite a lot?"

Lannister of Wood City raised his glasses and said seriously: "This is a bias effect. The people around you have passed the test, and you will not be able to meet those who have not passed the test or who are not qualified enough."

The beauty shattered his glasses with a backhand punch.

"Hehe, 'Rod', right? Your knowledge is really profound."

So it was you who pretended to be me to lie to X... Rhodes glanced at him calmly, and found that this guy had good features and was white and clean. He really resembled him, but he was much less handsome , No wonder this beauty was accidentally fooled.

Lannister pushed his broken glasses, and said calmly: "Cilley of the City of Flowers, I have never admitted that I am Rhodes. You misunderstood yourself and took the attitude of being the first to fight against me." On the bed, my explanation on the bed is considered to be evasion by you, strictly speaking, I am the victim."

Celie flew into a rage: "Fart! Are you fucking looking for spanking?"

If Rhodes hadn't intervened in time, the guy who couldn't speak would probably have been killed.

After talking and persuading everyone for a while, Celie calmed down and pointed at him and cursed.

"It's not for the sake of Brother Rhodes today, I must get rid of you shameless bastard!"

Lannister got up silently and stood outside.

Rhodes coughed: "Everyone, don't fight, we are all the top geniuses in Trorian, we must show the bearing of the pillars of human beings."

Ryan from Green Grass Town said with a smile: "Brother Rhodes, you are overestimating us. We are just better than the average person, but we are far from the top level."

Rhodes was surprised: "Aren't you the best?"

"Of course not. The aptitudes possessed by the new generation of geniuses are unimaginable. What does our achievement mean to them?"

"correct."

Celie's expression was full of leisurely fascination.

"That is our new star, the hope of mankind, and it is also attracting attention in the Palace of Fire."

Rhode couldn't help asking: "Who are they? Can I know them?"

"Well, let me think about it."

Ryan pointed his fingers and said word by word.

"The shining golden Valkyrie Theresa, the cannon Evelyn, the great sword Taro, the iron tufted rope, the undefeated Jessica, the phantom silver cat, and the flowing snow."

"That's all for recent years."

Rhodes was surprised: "There are still in previous years?"

"Of course there are new stars every year."

Celie suddenly said loudly: "You missed the black idiot Rhodes!"

Rhode's face suddenly collapsed.

"I'm not! I'm not. I'm just an ordinary and excellent fire holder just like you."

Ryan smiled and said: "Brother Rhodes, don't be humble, you are much better than us, I believe you will come to our front soon, become a stronger fighter, and hold up a bigger sky for us."

This made Rhodes not know how to defend for a while.

Ryan pointed to the west side and said.

"Brother Rhodes, have you seen that list? The numbers behind them are their weights. The more tasks they complete, the higher the weights. Only the most front-end parts are eligible to receive more badges of honor and undertake more tasks." Big responsibility."

"I'm sure you'll be among them soon."

When Rhodes was about to take a closer look, there was another commotion in the crowd.

Someone yelled: "Undefeated Jessica!"

Rhodes looked up and saw a group of stunning beauties stepping into the fireplace area.

His eyes lit up.

Aren't these all acquaintances?
Classmates when they were special students, companions when they were in the top class of the secret branch, sisters that Annabelle never forgets.

Their common feature is the liberation of magic power. It is said that they are born strong and have extremely strong combat effectiveness. On the contrary, Annabelle is so weak that he became Rhodes' mount.

According to Horus and others, whether it is a special student or a stealth fighter, it is just a passing scene for them, and the Temple of Fire is their destined goal.

The stunning beauties walked past them proudly, ignoring them until Rhodes yelled.

"Sister Jessica!"

The beauties turned their heads and turned their gazes to the direction of the voice.

"Huh? Isn't this little Rhodes? I haven't seen you for a while, and you have already entered the palace."

"Hee hee, I said Little Rhodes can enter, right?"

"Wow, you see, I said that my vision is correct, after the coordination of body and soul, his body proportions are amazing!"

"It's a pity that it's cheaper than Teresa."

Rhodes blinked, not understanding what "cheap Teresa" meant. He wanted to ask if he could take him out on a mission together, but the beauties didn't stop for him.

"Goodbye, little Rhodes."

"See you next time."

"Little Annabe will be taken care of by you. Don't bully her, otherwise we will find you."

The fragrant wind blows past, and the beauties disappear into the depths of the hall.

And everyone looked at Rhodes with admiration again.

The "spiritual girl group" is the most inaccessible group. They are extremely powerful and dangerous at the same time. Their powerful characteristics make most of them very withdrawn and difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Unexpectedly, Rhodes knew each other and could talk to them.

"Are they strong?" Rhodes asked.

"Very strong."

Said the outermost Lannister.

"In particular, their actual combat capabilities far exceed their various indicators. If there are no special regulations, there will not be only one new star every year."

Rhodes felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, the flame marks on everyone's collars emitted golden light, the burning flame pattern began to shine, and the golden border shone.

"Emergency situations!"

Ryan said immediately.

"Our battle order has been adjusted to the front line, go to the outer hall to assemble!"

No one complained, everyone immediately took action and ran towards the outer hall like a strong wind.

Rhodes was caught in it, not lagging behind at all, but came to the outer hall in a moment.

A massive figure with a huge ax and hammer behind his back was waiting for them.

Rhode recognized it at a glance, isn't this the guardian Churchill?
Churchill turned around, glanced at them, saw Rhodes, nodded slightly to him, and said loudly:

"There was an unexpected situation. There was an accident in the Battle of the Trident River. The underground world connected to the river far exceeded our expectations. The strongholds we just established around are in danger. If the situation is not reversed as soon as possible, the southwest side is fighting a bloody battle with the city defense army. will be hit hard.”

"We will urgently join the battlefield and maintain the battle until the two armies gather their strength and enter the Trident River area."

"As an independent combat unit, you will support every point on the battlefield. The task is very tight. Let's talk about the details on the way."

Churchill waved his hand and took the lead to walk out.

Everyone followed behind, all gearing up, excited.

Ryan whispered: "It's a battle! It's time for us to show our strength!"

"Yes, although we are not as good as those super geniuses, we are not easy to underestimate!"

"Hahahaha, the big ax under my crotch is already hungry and thirsty!"

While discussing in a low voice, everyone followed Churchill to the flying platform, and a huge and frighteningly large floating psychic carriage landed in front of them.

"Get in the car."

Churchill opened the car door, and everyone rushed in.

When Rhodes was about to follow the crowd into the car, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Brother Rhodes, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Do not let me down!"
