the last king of darkness

Chapter 514 The True King and the Abyss

"The King of Ashes?"

Rhodes looked at him with puzzled eyes, the shimmering light on his body was connected to the Throne of Ashes behind him.

On the back of the long bench, his name is shining.

Horus' face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Legends say that the king born from the ashes of the fire is the real king, who rules the law of destruction and possesses the original authority. According to ancient rumors, The real purpose of the Giant King Omir in building the Seat of Ashes is to create the King of Ashes."

Rhodes scratched his head and asked, "Archbishop, I remember that the giant king Omir seems to be the god of giants?"

Horus nodded slightly: "The city of giants is the city of gods, and the status of the giant king Omir in the giant family is only second to the giant's ancestor Ehius."

"Really? Is the true king... more powerful than a god?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "The true king is a god, but a weak god is not necessarily a true king. In the ancient classical soul hierarchy, the one who is above the law-maker is the true king."

"But the real king is too far away, so there is a ladder in the middle, the king level."

"Strictly speaking, all kings are incomplete true kings. In the ancient era when the fire was extremely strong and the strong emerged endlessly, the true king was also the ruler of one side of the battlefield."

"For us, the true king is the only superpower who can resist the invasion of the unknown and tear the curtain of black mist, but unfortunately, after entering the dark era, the road to the true king has long been cut off, and it has been thousands of years There is no true king."

Rhodes was extremely shocked. This was not the first time he heard the legend of the true king. Among the new stars, everyone firmly believed that they would become the true king in the future, and then save Trorian and lead mankind to revival .

But after hearing such a detailed explanation from Horus, he suddenly realized the gap between the real king and him. Even a person as powerful as the king is only an incomplete real king.

And the gap between him and the king is already very large.

Rhodes couldn't help asking: "Are there many real kings?"

Horus replied: "There is a limit to the number of true kings. There are generally no more than three true kings in the same era, but this is not an iron rule. We don't know the reason for it."

Rhodes asked with interest: "Did the King of Ashes ever exist?"

Horus' face looked gloomy.

"Legends say that when the King of Ashes appears, he will destroy the world and then rule over its ashes. This is not the true king who saves us, but an evil omen..."

Rhodes' eyes widened: "Destroy the world? Bad omen? But... why?"

Horus said lightly: "The true king controls the extremely strong law, but at the same time he is also controlled by the law. His behavior can no longer be simply controlled by his will."

Rhodes felt a little uneasy: "Then why do you say that I am the King of Ashes?"

Horus shook his head lightly: "That's just my illusion, Rhodes, you know, your existence is extremely unreasonable, there are too many unexplainable things, if it weren't for Wang and Alan's favoritism towards you, you would It will not be so easy to walk into the innermost layer of the kingdom without being investigated."

Rhode's heart trembled. It turned out that Wang Cheng had always been suspicious of him. His simple lies were not seen through because they were unwilling to pursue them, not because they were stupid.

Horus waved his hand lightly, and the white light lifted Rhodes down.

"Wang is always right. Although there are many times when we think he is wrong and do not understand some of his methods, we always find that he is right in the end."

"It's the same with Alan. Although he rarely makes decisions, he silently illustrates this with countless victorious results."

"So, even though we didn't understand this time, we still obeyed the king's order..."

Horus paused, eyes heavy as hell.

"Of course, I don't doubt you, but at the highest level of the kingdom, everything must be transparent. The complexity of the soul is unimaginable. In many cases, the will does not determine the action. This is related to our destiny. I hope you understand."

Rhodes hurriedly said, "Understood."

In the battle of Starry Sky City, Horus was controlled vividly.

Moreover, they also know that ancient evil thoughts will be reincarnated to form souls again.

This soul had its original will at the beginning, but as the evil thoughts penetrated, his behavior gradually became uncontrollable, and eventually assimilated into evil thoughts.

In subsequent research, they found that not only evil thoughts, but also the soul fragments of powerful ancient gods, the spiritual strings of the old masters, and the remnants of incomprehensible great beings are all likely to reincarnate and grow into new souls.

The masters of these souls often become immensely powerful, possess unimaginable talents, and possess incomprehensible powers.

It's fine if it's well-intentioned, or doesn't affect the original will of the soul.

If it's something like ancient evil thoughts, that's bad.

Therefore, although Rhodes' behavior showed that he could not be a doomsday cultist, due to the many strange sources of his power, everyone could not fully trust him.

Horus' eyes gradually calmed down, he broke away from the terrible failure, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have accepted you according to the king's order, in private, we have many speculations about your origin."

"You may be the reincarnation of the soul of a powerful existence in ancient times. This is the result we agree with. Perhaps due to some kind of taboo, your power cannot be disclosed, just like those unspeakable existences."

Rhode's heart trembled. Horus' guess was actually quite close. The existence of dreams was indeed as he said, an unspeakable taboo.

But why would the king favor him?
Did he know something?

Thinking of many things in the past, Rhodes had more doubts in his heart.

But he didn't say anything, and planned to observe quietly for a while. He felt that it was impossible for the king to know the existence of the dream directly. It might be a certain prophecy or intuition that guided his actions.

Horus continued: "And according to the legend, the King of Ashes has an extraordinary sensitivity to destroying everything related to Ashes. You were recognized by the Seat of Ashes almost immediately, which reminds me of that."

Rhodes asked curiously: "Then why don't you think I am?"

Horus glanced at him.

"Your ability related to the black rice bucket is too far from the king of ashes. The deer's head is not right for the mouth of the bull. It is impossible to be the king of ashes. There should be some other reason."

Rhodes smiled and said, "Can't it be my talent?"

The eyes of Horus were like looking at a mentally retarded person with a lack of cerebellum. Instead of answering this meaningless question, he asked, "How do you feel now? The Seat of Ashes has completely established a connection with your soul. The destiny of mankind is converging on the throne, elevating your soul in all directions, and gathering the 'qi' of the true king for you."

Rhodes closed his eyes.

"Uh, I feel a little heat in my soul, something in the void is holding me."

Horus frowned, but he quickly remembered that Rhodes was a one-year drop-out student at Kingworth College, and patiently taught him the method of inner vision and internal investigation.

Rhodes felt as if he had found a treasure, and the hazy soul suddenly became clear in front of his eyes, and his vision could even penetrate into it. He seemed to be traveling in the dark night of the soul, and he could see every hair clearly.

Soon, he discovered that in the depths of his soul, there was a wonderful imprint shining. It felt very similar to the Seat of Ashes, but it did not have the feeling of depression and depression, but was full of the heat of life. .

It spread out in the depths of his soul, filled his entire soul, and brought him a slightly warm feeling.

The mist of the soul is gradually growing, slowly becoming thicker, and above the imprint, there is something like a cloud of white gas gathering.

Obviously, that should be the "qi" of the real king.

After reading it, Rhodes ended the state of inner vision of the soul, and told Horus all his discoveries.

Horus finally showed a gratified smile.

"Okay, very good, you have been fully recognized by the Seat of Ashes, and the fate of human beings has not been in vain. You must know that every time you open a Seat of Ashes, the fortune of human beings will be allocated less, so we will never Will open a new Seat of Ashes at will."

"You have lived up to our expectations. Although your strength is far from that of the Law Commander, you are already a veritable Son of Fire, and you are on your way to becoming a true king."

"According to our research, that cloud of white gas will have a great effect on you taking a crucial step. The sooner you gather it, the better."

"Of course, the most important thing is the development of Trorian, otherwise the fate of mankind will be insufficient, and the support provided by the Seat of Ashes will also be slowed down."

"The existence of a true king must condense the fate of countless human beings. This may be the reason why his number is limited."

Amidst the continuous preaching, Horus finally took Rhodes out of the Hall of Ashes.

The first time he returned to the ground, Rhodes took a deep breath.

"what."

he said intoxicated.

"This sweet air."

Horus stood quietly aside, and those who first entered the botanical garden would be like him.

This is a rare relaxation, because everyone's time to enter the botanical garden is limited, and they cannot stay here for a long time, even the priests of life who work here are the same.

A moment later, Horus turned into a ray of white light again, leading Rhodes to fly to the other side of the cliff.

After leaving the botanical garden, Rhodes felt a strong sense of loss in his heart. When the scene of life in his sight was covered by the gray cliffs, he felt an urge to fly back again.

The urge was so strong that it made him feel something was wrong.

Rhodes took a deep breath, and a stronger willpower pressed it deep into his soul.

Horus glanced at him, and said with a slightly appreciative tone: "That's right, little Rhodes, your will is very strong, and many people couldn't suppress it, and they ran back forcibly."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "What is this? Why do I have a feeling of being out of control?"

Horus said lightly: "This is the instinctive attraction of the super life force of the Holy White Tree to living beings, just like babies long for their mothers, and fish long for water. It's not mind control, but an instinct. The longer you stay, the more it will The greater the influence, in the end, you will become an idiot who only hugs a big tree and drools."

"So, we stipulate that each person can only stay for three hours a day, and only fifteen hours a week. For combatants who have been fighting in the dark all year round, this time should be halved."

Rhodes scratched his head, and suddenly felt that the holy white tree was not a good stubble, and asked, "Archbishop, where are we going now?"

Horus replied curtly, "Silver Oath."

They flew over several areas and came to the central area of ​​Uptown.

Horus landed him beside a majestic castle.

The castle is pure white, without any logos or decorations.

After Horus fell, several priests bowed deeply to him: "The Archbishop."

Horus nodded: "It's just a daily inspection, there is no need to notify the Silver Priests and the Forbidden Armed Forces, take us down."

Several priests quickly led them to an empty room, and then left.

After waiting for a moment in silence, when Rhodes was about to speak, he heard a bang, and the floor began to drop.

Its speed decreased faster and faster, and the wall in front of him gradually changed from gray stone bricks to darkness, and then turned into rough rock.

After an unknown amount of time, when Rhodes felt that he had descended at least a thousand yards, there was a bang, and the floor stopped.

A little light came from the side, and Rhodes turned his eyes and saw that it was a small door opening.

"Let's go."

Horus strode out into the doorway, followed by Rhodes.

After passing through a long corridor, Rhodes eyes suddenly opened up.

In a huge space, a huge ring was embedded in the midair.

It is almost entirely made of real silver, and the dazzling reflection made Rhodes almost unable to open his eyes.

The entire site was white, and under the ring were hundreds of altars, large and small.

Among them, the altar directly below the center point of the ring is the largest.

There was no one in the venue, it was quiet.

Horus said in a deep voice, "This is the Ring of True Silver, an artifact that is not an artifact."

Rhodes looked up at the terrifying ring and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. True silver is a relatively valuable spiritual material. When Rhodes used it frequently, he could only use a little powder every time.

And the huge ring in front of him is at least a million tons in size.

So much real silver was smelted together, not a divine weapon, but a divine weapon.

"The archbishop." Rhodes asked with reverence: "How is it made? What is it for?"

Although he had crossed paths with the Silver Oath and the forbidden armed forces under the Silver Oath, he didn't know much about the Silver Oath. He only knew that the emergency armed forces under it were places to detain and restrict dangerous people.

Horus said in a deep voice: "Its creation is a miracle, and the person who can complete this miracle no longer exists. He is Theodore."

"The current Ring of True Silver was presided over by Your Excellency Theodore to build it. The original Silver Pledge and Ring of True Silver are far simpler than they are now."

"And the purpose of its existence..."

Horus paused and spoke in a very low voice.

"Suppress and seal the abyss."

Rhodes was shocked. He knew that there was an abyss in the depths of the sewer, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Are you sure it's an abyss?"

Horus replied in a deep voice: "Yes, this answer is only known to the top personnel of Trorian. Remember, the answer to the outside world is uncertain. Don't leak this information at will, it will be very harmful to us."

"According to the ancient books we recently obtained from Star City, as well as some records in the large library, it is shown that the giant king Omir built the city of giants here for the purpose of sealing the abyss."

"Our royal city is actually above the crater. For thousands of years, it has dealt us a heavy blow."

"It was Theodore who completely blocked the crater."
