the last king of darkness

Chapter 490 The Eighth Son of Fire
Rhodes never expected that he would be promoted to be the most powerful and honorable fighter in Trorian within less than two months after taking the position of guardian.

The Son of Fire is the strongest in the Trorian combat system, the towering tree of the kingdom, and the strategic force in the highest battle order.

For their dispatch calls, it is through the Supreme Council and the round table hall of the Temple of Fire.

Even the Army War Department is not qualified to transfer, it can only suggest.

No one can command them except the king.

The Sons of Fire are so detached that they rarely manage matters outside of combat, but if they do speak, they are usually considered effective.

Therefore, Geraba was able to directly designate Starry Sky City as his defense zone and station him here.

This point is incomparable to the four great knight commanders who are also special combatants.

And because of the lofty status of the Son of Fire, Wang Cheng was also extremely cautious about the appointment of the Son of Fire. Rhodes had done his best, and it took only a year for him to become the Fire Bearer, so he actually pointed directly at the Seat of Ashes.

"This is in recognition of your outstanding contribution to this operation."

The king's special envoy said very seriously, and put a circular flame emblem on Rhodes' chest.

A line of words was written on the badge in an ancient language:

—I burn on the altar of fire, illuminating this long night with the light of my soul.

"This is the badge of the Son of Fire preparer. When you have mastered the Law of Origin and reached the fourteenth level of psionic power, you can officially ascend the throne and become Trorian's eighth Son of Fire."

Rhodes looked at the badge on his chest with a complicated expression, but overall, he was mostly happy. The higher his status in Trorian, the easier it is for him to obtain divinity.

"The preparation for the eighth Son of Fire... am I the only one?"

"Of course, there is only one preparer. Unless an irresistible accident occurs, you will be the next Son of Fire. Your soul characteristics have already been adapted to the Seat of Ashes."

Seeing Rhodes' puzzled expression, Wang's special envoy explained in detail.

"Every Son of Fire has a Seat of Ashes, which is the treasure of Trorian. It has unimaginable power, which can further enhance the strength of the soul, strengthen the soul's control over the source, and make the Herrscher even stronger. The further necessary thing is that only the super class with the possibility of becoming a king can become a son of fire."

The envoy looked at him with twinkling eyes.

"And you are the only Starfire Sequence in history who became the Son of Fire."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Didn't Xinghuo become a son of fire before?"

"of course not."

The envoy laughed.

"Xinghuo's soul is all fragments of characteristics. It is extremely rare to be able to reach super-level combat power. It is almost impossible to go further and become king-level."

"You should know that the king of human beings, that is, the king-level combat power, corresponds to the king-level of monsters. Their main symbol is to control the source of strength."

"And the spark possessed by the spark sequence is only a fragment of the characteristics, not even a complete source law, it cannot be quantified, and even the source law cannot be obtained, and it is impossible to further grasp the strong source, so there has never been a spark sequence The fire bearer has become a son of fire, even Lord Alan has not done it."

Rhode's heart trembled, he did what Alan couldn't do, and there were obviously other reasons for this.

"Why? I am the Spark Sequence, and it is theoretically impossible to become the king. Are you not afraid of wasting a position? There must be a price for the opening of the Seat of Ashes, right?"

The envoy smiled.

"You are so smart, you are worthy of being the legendary black rice bucket."

"The Royal City has a total of thirteen Seats of Ashes, but the number of Seats of Ashes opened is less than seven all year round. It does consume a lot of resources, but it does not consume resources in the conventional sense."

The envoy took a deep breath and continued.

"As you know, according to the Rockefus principle, all things are inevitably going to chaos, and disorder is the main body of the world. Only human beings, creatures with wisdom and life, can go from chaos to order. Wisdom is so incredible. , just like the phosphorous fire rising on the dark sea, the aftermath of every intelligent creature's thinking in operation is the food for the Seat of Ashes, the driving force behind its operation."

Rhodes frowned. This sounds really unbelievable. The aftermath of the thinking of intelligent life can actually push the Seat of Ashes?

Isn't that the more people there are, the greater the power of the Seat of Ashes?
Suddenly, he understood what the special envoy meant.

"You should see what I mean."

The envoy nodded approvingly at him.

"Every time a Seat of Ashes is opened, its power will be weakened. Therefore, we will never open a Seat of Ashes unless absolutely necessary."

"The number of children of fire is strictly fixed. Olivia, Kai, and Vehele all failed to become children of fire because of this."

"Alan is absolutely sufficient in terms of talent alone, but he is a spark. The king originally planned to make an exception for him, but Meredith, the lord of the White Tower, told the king with his prophecy that there is no need."

Rhodes pondered for a moment, then asked: "Then why did I make an exception? Is it related to Lord Meredith?"

The special envoy smiled slightly, flicked his fingers, and the spiritual energy formed a barrier to envelop them. He leaned close to Rhodes' ear and whispered.

"Related to Lord Meredith, but more importantly, Lord Theodore."

"He told the king a long time ago that if Rhodes becomes a special class one day, then the Seat of Ashes will be opened for him and he will become a son of fire."

"Although you have not become a special class, considering your supreme contribution to Trorian, the King and the Supreme Council jointly decided to make an exception for you and lock the position of the Son of Fire for you in advance."

"This is also the result of the four super fighters Geraba, Rovia, Olivia, and Misha, as well as the seven first-level fighters of 160 all agreeing."

"You deserve it."

Rhodes scratched his head, his face flushed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment: "You are so right, I really deserve it."

The special envoy gave him a strange look, and said casually, "That's right, that's right...uh."

He came closer again and spoke in the tiniest voice.

"The king asked me to say hello to Lord Theodore."

A trace of vigilance flashed in Rhodes' eyes, and he said with a dry smile: "I have used up the last soul ripple of Lord Theodore..."

The envoy smiled and lifted the psychic barrier.

"Then, I'm going back to my life."

"Farewell, future son of fire, our protector, may the holy fire guide your direction forever."

Rhodes nodded: "Go all the way well, may the torch be passed on, and may mankind last forever."

The special envoy bowed slightly and then left.

But the matter is not over, the tens of thousands of supplies he brought are still in the hall.

Rhodes scratched the back of his head, feeling a little dizzy, and said casually, "Molly, I'll leave these things to you."

Molly pushed her gold-rimmed glasses, and replied in her tone that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"Leave it to me, Master."

Rhodes turned around and continued to put his hand on the Wanxing instrument, trying to squeeze out the spirituality from his soul and smear it on the surface of the artifact.

The spirituality just squeezed out still carried the remaining warmth of his soul, and because the activity had not been lost, it was cloudy white.

These fiery translucent liquids are the essence and blood of the soul. Excessive consumption will make the soul tired and listless. If it exceeds the limit, it will cause certain damage and even threaten life.

However, Rhodes had to do this. Only by smearing the living spirituality of the artifact owner on the Wanstellar can its efficiency be greatly improved, reaching the limit of one drop every three days.

If Rhodes can squeeze out more and fill the inside of the Wanstellar, then it is possible to get two drops in three days!

One drop of star source, 8 points of divinity.

Two drops of star source equal to 16 divinity points!
Rhodes used to complete a large-scale mission and fought hard for many days, but only had 10 divinity points.

And now, he can get 16 points almost without doing anything!
What could be better than this?
During this period of time, Rhodes wished to sit in the holy fire sacrificial field of Starry Sky City every day, and fill the Wanxing instrument with his essence, so that it could drip more water.

However, even though Rhodes is young, strong and energetic, he can't bear such unrestrained consumption all the time.

Dizziness, weakness in hands and feet, and coldness in the waist are also common symptoms.

In order to obtain the star source stably and continuously, Rhodes can only restrain himself a little, and just paint the outside all over every time.

Of course, obtaining divinity is far more than this way. As the royal city of an extremely powerful ancient human kingdom, Starry Sky City has a lot of heritage, and Trorian can obtain countless valuable things from it.

If this matter can be done well, it is obviously a large sum of divinity.

Moreover, with the death of the Starry Queen, the barrier of the holy fire sacrificial field is gradually disintegrating.

In order to protect the safety of this ancient artifact, it is imperative to completely clean up Starry Sky City.

For this reason, Wangcheng specially dispatched a fire guardian to come here with a piece of guardian fire, and placed the fire in the king vessel of the sacred fire sacrificial field.

After a lapse of 500 years, the light of fire illuminates this space again.

The king vessel is the container for the holy fire, in which the guardian fire burns without any restraint.

When the fire is lit, it means that there is a stronghold.

A large number of high-level combatants, logistics personnel, medical personnel, and even production personnel followed.

Wang Cheng even kindly transferred all of Rhodes' original team, and sent an experienced consul to manage Fanxing Town.

Regarding this, Rhodes didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Wang Cheng seems to want him to reproduce the miracle in Fanxing Town and rebuild a stronghold of superhuman beings.

But the problem is that Fanxing Town is just a small town, which is nothing in the huge Fanxing Kingdom. At that time, if it was not for Wangcheng to verify the feasibility of expanding outwards, taking Fanxing Town would be effortless, and Rhodes would not be needed at all. play.

Starry Sky City is the royal city of the Starry Kingdom, and it is very difficult to take it down completely and transform it into a human stronghold.

However, his team has extreme confidence in him.

Since Rhodes left Fanxing Town, a series of miracles created further deified his image in their hearts. In their view, Rhodes has infinite possibilities, and there is nothing he cannot do.

Even if Rhodes became a guardian at a miraculous speed, they felt that it was normal and that Rhodes deserved it.

Among them, Molly is the worst.

I haven't seen her for many days. This beautiful female deputy is still the same as before, with a serious face and a cold expression. The black silk of the wind is still worn on her long legs, showing her proud charm.

Rhode touched it uncontrollably, smelled the faint aroma on his fingertips, and asked involuntarily, "Have you washed it?"

Molly's stern eyes turned around, inexplicably making Rhodes a little guilty.

"After you left, I kept it well. In addition, it has self-cleaning ability and doesn't need to be washed...even if your hands are full of unknown stains."

"Impossible, my hands are very clean!" Rhodes rubbed his hands, and some black mud fell off, and he immediately changed the subject, "Molly, how has Fanxing Town developed after I left for so long? ?”

The establishment of this stronghold has a great relationship with him. Even if he is gone, the subsequent development can provide him with a part of divinity.

Molly replied calmly: "Due to the expansion of Wangcheng, Fanxing Town is no longer a dark frontier. The population has gone through another round of skyrocketing, breaking through 1000 million, and has established a number of pathways to Wangcheng, and now travels from Fanxing Town to Wangcheng. It is very convenient. Ghost Lake and other places provide all the food and water sources, and all minerals are being mined efficiently. Before I was transferred, Fanxing Town was expanding the cultivated land, and Wangcheng had designated it as the core stronghold in the west. "

"Good job!" Rhodes praised: "You are still so good."

Molly looked at him calmly: "Master, I will take care of Star City."

Rhode's head hurt again, and he accidentally missed a conversation with the Book of Knowledge. For some reason, Molly also called him master.

He wanted Molly to change it back, but he didn't know what to say, so he pretended not to hear.

This female deputy is extremely capable, and most affairs can be handed over to her.

If you want to get more divinity from Starry Sky City, she is indispensable.

After an in-depth exchange with Molly, Rhodes walked out of the room.

The gloomy, gloomy and dilapidated holy fire sacrificial site in the past has become bright and tidy. The thick ashes have been removed, the damaged places have been repaired, and everything is full of vitality.

It has to be said that these production staff are really very powerful. After a few days of work, the place has become completely new. It is almost impossible to recognize that this is the place where he once fought the Queen of Stars.

The holy fire sacrificial field in Starry Sky City is huge, more than enough to house all kinds of people.

All kinds of materials transported from Wangcheng were piled up in a special warehouse, and countless people shuttled inside and outside the warehouse, moving another batch of materials that had just arrived into the warehouse.

"Good day, Your Excellency the Son of Fire."

"Hello, black jerk."

Everyone who saw Rhodes would bow to him from the bottom of their hearts. Even though he had just become a Son of Fire preparer, everyone seemed to think that he would definitely become a Son of Fire.

Rhodes saluted everyone one by one, feeling Alexander.
