the last king of darkness

Chapter 5 Soul Devouring (Please recommend and collect)
The sister nun was ruthlessly kicked out.

The three-meter-wide aunt went into battle in person.

Rhodes' people are going to be torn apart.

The head nun's fingers were thicker than his arm, and his strength exceeded a hundred-ton hydraulic press. Rhodes felt as if ten thousand cows were galloping on his back, and forty thousand iron hooves were trampling his soul.

She was still nagging as she ravaged.

"...These dead girls are really worrying. They are unwilling to abide by any prohibition. If they are not smoked, my medical center will be delisted in a few days."

Rhodes felt unbelievable: "Aren't you a formal institution? Didn't I come here to treat amnesia?"

"Of course we are a formal institution."

The strength in Aunt Uther's hand was two points heavier, and Rhodes felt that his waist was about to break, and his throat groaned overwhelmed by the bones.

"The first-level medical center of the Holy Church, the medical unit of the Healing Order, there is no more formal institution than ours, all of our healing nuns are excellent graduates of Kingworth, and the nursing and healing courses are all full marks... and I, Uther of Red Rose Street, am a legend of Kingworth Academy, the only healer who also got full marks in Combat Class!"

Rhode's mouth was crooked in pain.

"Then why don't you fight?"

Aunt Uther's tone was slightly surprised: "I'm a logistician, and of course the combat is in charge of the fighters. How can I overstep my duty? Oh...are you worried that I'm not professional enough? Hehe, don't worry, little guy, no one Better at treating amnesia than I am."

This is the most difficult thing for Rhodes to understand.

"Is massage your treatment?"

Aunt Uther smiled and said: "Of course not, this is just to contact your spirit and let your spirit enter a deep state of tranquility. The real healing has not yet begun."

Rhode's heart suddenly moved.

Could this be the reason why he entered that strange world just now?
"So, that's the spiritual world in my dream?"

"Is that stone tablet causing my headache? Is that nigger the husky that demolished the house in my mind?"

Thinking of that series of strange encounters, Rhodes had a bad feeling.

This dream world won't have anything to do with the migration team, right?

Am I really the murderer?

No no, not necessarily.

I want to think on the bright side, maybe I can find some clues in the dream world.

That's right, I still remember the fonts of those characters I don't know, I can ask my aunt later.

While thinking about it, Aunt Uther continued to say:
"Young man, you are very lucky. The first-level medical center is not accessible to ordinary people. You have to thank Mr. Vermeer for this. If it weren't for him, you would not have come to me."

Rhodes asked, "Mr. Vermeer... is that the white wolf?"

"Yeah, why don't you know him... Oh, you've lost your memory, poor little guy."

Aunt Uther looked at him lovingly.

"I promise you in the name of Uther, I will cure you, so that you can clearly remember when you peed your pants."

Rhodes was a little embarrassed: "Thank you, you are really good people, I thought you were an informal organization..."

Aunt Uther smiled slightly and said: "The Healing Order not only treats the spirit and the body, but also has the duty of a doctor of the soul, so the nuns are very easy to get along with, and a clean, white and tender little brother like you is theirs. My favorite, it is inevitable that I will take advantage of my position to act too much... But don't worry, as long as I am here for a day, your chastity will not fall into their clutches."

Please don't meddle in your own business, let them come... Rhodes complained in his heart, feeling that the image of this kingdom was a little blurred in his mind.

He originally thought it was a strict, closed, and ignorant society similar to feudal dynasties or the Middle Ages, but he didn't expect it to be much more enlightened than he imagined. Aunt Uther's conversation was humorous and open, without that kind of ignorance at all. Paranoid.

Although she is only an individual, it can be seen from a glimpse of the leopard.

Is this really a human group that survived in this harsh and dark environment?
In the remaining memory, most of the time in this world is dark, people hide under the shelter of fire, live and work carefully, powerful warriors fight monsters in the dark, sometimes they win, sometimes they lose miserably.

Here, death is a common occurrence, the black mist is a terrifying and untouchable existence, and the days are boring and repetitive, eating, sleeping, checking lights, going to work in factories, workshops, mines or fields, nothing else .

There is light entertainment and a party full of smiles only when the lights are on.

Fortunately, the existence of the holy white tree purified the land and water, and gave them a fairly rich harvest.

So there are not many times when you are hungry.

Apart from eating and drinking, passing certain assessments to become warriors, and then moving to the upper city of Wangcheng is their biggest wish.

However, everything in memory seems to be different from what happened here.

Rhodes was lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, the hell massage was finally over.

Aunt Uther smiled and said, "Okay, now that your spirit has entered a deep state of tranquility, you must feel very comfortable, and it is suitable for my next spirit return ceremony."

Rhode's whole body was aching, and he responded feebly.

Mama Uther stood up and put her broad hand on the back of his head.

Accompanied by a strange wind chime, she chanted.

"Floating spirit, please return from the spirit world."

"Like a baby attached to its mother, like a ghost returning to a cemetery!"

"This is your origin!"

A sense of surprise swept Rhode's whole body, like stepping into a shady room in hot summer, and the feeling of drafts passing through the trousers through the whole body.

But it disappeared quickly, and Aunt Uther's surprised voice came from above.

"Why did it fail?"

Rhode's heart sank, and he tried to recall, but there was no new information in his memory.

Aunt Uther was silent for a moment, and did it again, but it still didn't work.

"This is really strange..."

She fell into a long silence.

Rhodes hesitated for a long time before carefully saying: "Well, maybe I haven't completely relaxed, should I change to a nun..."

Aunt Uther raised her eyes and smiled gently: "Little guy, it has nothing to do with you. The appearance of the summoning spirit means that there is no problem with the previous work. Your situation is very complicated, and there are difficulties that I didn't expect. Uh... I have to go to the big library, and it may take a while, but don't worry, nothing I say will go unnoticed."

But Rhodes has no confidence. According to Murphy's Law, once things show signs of unfavorable signs, they will always develop in a worse direction.

"No, I can't sit still, I have to think of other ways."

Thinking of this, Rhodes hurriedly said, "Uther... elder sister, can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Aunt Uther smiled and said, "Say it, little guy, because of your honesty, I will agree."

Rhodes said softly: "I want you to chat with me, you know, I have amnesia, I don't remember anything, my parents, family, friends, everything I am familiar with has disappeared, I can't read, I don't know anything I understand, and I have no money. This city is a strange city to me, but I have to live here alone. I am very lonely. It seems that I am the only one left in this world, so I want to chat with you Chatting, maybe you can have another friend, maybe you can bring back everything you are familiar with.”

His tone was sincere and affectionate, matching his young and helpless image, Aunt Uther's eyes became moist all of a sudden.

"What a poor little guy, what can I not agree to such a small request?"

Rhodes' acting skills were 120% effective, and amnesia was an excellent excuse, no matter what question he could ask without hindrance.

And Aunt Uther is more approachable than imagined, especially easy to talk, Rhodes easily obtained a lot of information from her mouth, and even asked him calmly about the text he saw in the dream.

But it's a pity that Aunt Uther doesn't know this kind of writing.

"This is not Neraka, nor Sasolania, it looks a bit like Matsis, but it has no phonetic symbols... It seems to be a very old language, maybe you can find someone who knows it at Jinworth College people."

Rhodes was about to ask what Kingworth Academy was when he saw Aunt Uther jumping up like her butt was on fire.

"How……"

Before finishing a word, Aunt Uther grabbed his hand suddenly.

"can!"

Her fat face is in full bloom like an overlord flower.

"you can!"

Rhodes asked blankly: "What can I do?"

But Aunt Uther didn't answer, she dragged him to open the door and rushed out of Uther Medical Center.

Outside the medical clinic was an empty street. The blue stone slabs were covered with damp water mist, exuding a strange smell. On both sides of the street were single-family buildings made of blue stones.

There is a lamp hanging in front of each building.

The hazy light dispelled the darkness, but if you looked up, you could see the diffuse black mist covering the sky above the city.

Rhodes shuddered slightly.

This is the royal city, the royal city with the strongest holy flame, still looks so depressing.

What would it be like if you left the royal city and were surrounded by black mist all day long?
Suddenly, Rhodes understood what Aunt Uther meant when she said that they also served as psychiatrists.

He felt slightly gloomy, and looked left and right. The street was quiet, and there was no one there, but in this midnight-like environment, he didn't seem obtrusive.

"Oops, it's already a quarter of noon, I don't know if it's too late."

Aunt Uther glanced at her pocket watch, and pulled Rhodes to run wildly.

noon?

The strong wind was blowing, and Rhode finally took a look at the gap and shouted: "Where are we going?"

"Go to the Great Sacrifice in the Royal City. There are still two hours left in this year's Fire Trial. The Holy Grail of Fire should not be extinguished. Maybe you can catch up."

"What?" Rhodes was stunned.

Aunt explained quickly.

"Little guy, I tested it just now. Your soul is strong, with obvious waveforms, clear magic lines, and flashing spiritual pressure. Maybe you can pass the fire trial, get the blessing of fire, and ignite the fire."

"In this way, you will enter Jinworth College and become a glorious student of the fireman. There are countless companions in the college, there are teachers, and there is an immortal headmaster. You will not be alone, and you don't have to worry about having nothing. As you know, they will teach you everything, and you don’t have to worry about making a living. Every student has a minimum weekly salary of 42 silver ropes, and personal distribution materials worth [-] silver ropes. If you are good enough, there are various scholarships and distribution of supplies."

"It's your best bet."

Rhodes was a little dazed, and shouted: "What is Kingworth College?"

At this time, the benefits of amnesia were revealed again, and the aunt explained it to him in great detail.

"Only when fire ignites our souls, can we have the strength to protect our homeland and fight monsters in the dark. Those who ignite the fire of the soul are called fire holders, which means those who can hold the power of fire."

"The Kingworth Academy is the academy that cultivates and trains fire-bearers. It is one of the most important pillars of the Royal City, and it is all our hope for the future."

"Once you become a student, you will get the most sufficient resources, the best treatment, the most meticulous protection, and the most valued status, because you are the 'fire seed', the future, the royal city exists because of you, the last human kingdom And it continues because of you."

Rhodes was dumbfounded, but when he heard the last sentence, he asked incredulously, "Finally? Is there no one but us?"

The aunt's voice was a little low: "I think so. The world has long been shrouded in darkness, and the black mist that erodes everything has permeated every part of it. Human beings have long since perished, and countless powerful kingdoms have become the lairs of dark monsters. We are The only survivor, we have listened to the world for a long time, but in this dark desert there is no intelligible sound except meaningless noise, and some scholars still believe that in the depths of the darkness, there must be a royal city like ours . I'm pessimistic about it."

Rhode's heart sank all of a sudden. He was still planning to run away with his bags and change to a human force to survive once the incident happened.

But now, things have changed a lot, and everything in the future has to be re-planned.

Rhodes' thoughts changed sharply, and he rushed to ask the most important question in this last time.

"Are there any untouchable taboos in Wangcheng and Jinworth Academy?"

The aunt thought for a while and replied.

"Do not pray to any existence other than fire, any unknown symbols and rituals are forbidden."

"Do not light or extinguish natural fires in public without permission, there will be heavy penalties."

Rhodes wrote it down verbatim, and asked, "Is there any more?"

The aunt thought for a moment and replied.

"The rest is about the soul characteristics and the ability of the fire that appear after the fire of the soul is ignited. Now it is much looser than before. Only one type is unforgivable."

Rhodes hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Mom replied.

"Soul Devour."
