the last king of darkness

Chapter 520 Crisis and Betrayal

Rhodes returned to the king city without knowing why, but he didn't see the king.

The holy fire sacrificial field was closed, and a large number of fire priests and fire guardians guarded the surrounding area with strict security.

The captain of the fire priest told Rhodes that the king was cleaning up the surrounding environment of the holy fire in the spirit world. Due to the sudden increase in the power of the holy fire, the original balance of the spirit world was broken. The holy things, being irritated, began to besiege the projection of the holy fire in the spirit world, and the king's spirit body had already entered the spirit world to fight.

During this period, no one is allowed to enter the Holy Fire Sacrificial Site.

Before closing the holy fire sacrificial field, the king conveyed his order, if Rhodes was in retreat when he arrived, he would go to the White Tower to find His Excellency Meredith.

This time it's about him.

Rhodes frowned, any matter would become very complicated if it had something to do with the Lord of the White Tower, Meredith.

This may be a sequela of mastering the power to predict fate.

Just don't know what to expect.

While pondering in his mind, Rhode came to the White Tower.

As Trorian's eighth Son of Fire, although he does not yet have the corresponding strength, he has been recognized by the Seat of Ashes and is already a legitimate super fighter.

The White Tower welcomed him very warmly, and almost all the apprentices who had no unshirkable jobs ran out. A large number of prophets, observers, and astrologers crowded the gate, and everyone wanted to see the legendary "Fire God". The splendor of "angel", "light of humanity" and "cause of turning point" is stained with "luck" on him.

What's more, they divination and prophesied for him on the spot, trying to predict his fate and see what is so magical about it.

Unfortunately, none of them succeeded, and all the divinations failed, which also added a layer of mystery to his identity.

Rhodes didn't care about it at first, and interacted with them friendly, saying something to boost confidence and morale.

Think of it as harvesting humanity.

Until he vaguely heard some words from the crowd.

"...Hey, have you heard? Contact with black rice buckets can increase the chances of pregnancy!"

"Really, a friend of mine was caught by him and got pregnant when he went back at night."

"Can men do it?"

"Hey, you guys heard that his saliva can prolong the time..."

Rhodes couldn't listen to the words that followed, he couldn't believe it, this was what a group of prophets and astrologers could say, and as the rumor spread, many people looked at him with green lights in their eyes, There are already many people staring at his mouth.

Fortunately, the great prophet Iyeta arrived in time to disperse this group of nonsense guys.

"Go back, go back to me, you bunch of ignorant guys!"

"If you don't return to your posts, you will all be locked up for me!"

"Paula! Have you lost your salary this week?"

"Athier, do you still want to pass the application for using the observatory?"

"Pan, if you want to talk nonsense again, don't think about the distribution of supplies this month!"

Iyeta kicked and kicked, and finally drove these guys away.

"Honorable Son of Fire."

Iyeta bowed to Rhodes politely, appearing humble and polite, completely missing the arrogance and rudeness just now.

"I'm sorry to let you be disturbed by these guys, I will punish them well... Please come with me, the teacher is waiting for you at the top of the tower."

"I see, thank you."

Rhodes replied politely, and hurriedly followed him up.

This was the third time he had set foot in the White Tower, and the familiar breath of the spiritual world came over his face, reminding him that the inside of the White Tower was actually in a superimposed state with the plane—it was in both the material world and the spiritual world.

"Lord Iyeta, may I know what happened this time?"

Iyeta didn't answer right away, his bald head reflected the lights in the White Tower, making him look a bit melancholy.

After being silent for a few seconds, he still replied: "It's a very troublesome matter, related to the trip to the city of Sagus, let the teacher tell you."

Rhode's heart skipped a beat.

City of Sagus?Didn't the king say he wouldn't let me go?
Why did you call me back again?

Full of doubts, Rhodes came to the top of the tower.

In this huge hall glowing with blue light, the ground is covered with broken sapphires, and the sky is a whole piece of pure sapphire. Under a sphere carved from a huge sapphire, sits the owner of the White Tower. History The most legendary prophet in the world.

Meredith.

Compared with the last time I saw him, he was much older, his face was covered with deep wrinkles, his pupils became cloudy and yellow, his back was bent, as if all the energy and spirit had disappeared from him, and his body was even more emaciated , at a glance, his life is a dying candle.

Rhodes was taken aback: "What's wrong with Mr. Meredith?"

As if hearing his voice, Meredith slowly raised his head, and the moment he saw Rhodes, a kind light radiated from his muddy eyes.

"It's Little Rhodes, you're finally here."

His voice was soft, like a ghost breathing.

Rhodes had to concentrate to hear clearly.

Iyeta said softly: "The teacher told you, go over."

Rhodes looked complicated, and hurried over.

The closer he gets to him, the more Rhodes feels that his life is about to run out, and the twilight of death has appeared on him, as if he may leave this world at any time.

And the last time I saw him was only a few months ago, when Meredith was still full of strength, not at all like a dying old man.

I don't know what happened in the past few months that caused him to become like this.

"Little Rhodes."

Meredith spoke slowly, his eyes burning with life only when he looked at him.

"Sorry, I interrupted the established plan and dragged you into trouble again."

Rhode's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, Meredith, I'm still waiting for something to happen."

Meredith showed a faint smile and said calmly.

"Explore the ancient city of the ancient city of Sa, and capture all the remnants of the ancient god of fate, Yano Sadag. You should know about this."

Rhodes hurriedly replied: "I know, the king has already told me that because of the Starry Sky City, the king does not suggest that I participate in it."

"Do not."

Meredith shook her head slightly.

"Yes, I don't recommend you to participate."

Rhodes' eyes widened immediately.

It was so!
No wonder I always feel that there is something unreasonable. Wang's rhetoric always feels like making excuses, which made me go back and think about it for a long time.

"Why?" Rhodes couldn't help asking.

Meredith said slowly: "The goal of this trip is to obtain materials with powerful destiny power, the ancient god of destiny, Yano Sadag, you may not have heard of this name, but in the second era, He is a powerful god, in order to fight against the black mist, he dismembered himself, made unprecedented super spiritual materials, and used them to make weapons for future generations."

Iyeta explained in a low voice: "The teacher performed a reverse divination on the material of the God of Destiny that we obtained, and traced back to this terrible fact. All the materials are in the ancient city of Sagus."

Rhodes nodded. He had known this information for a long time, and he also knew that the ancient god of fate, Yano Sadag, had done more than this.

He also sent Heragatos, the ancient god of flesh and blood rebirth, to the present, and guided the eternal sage Crassusa to become the King of Devourers. provide help.

However, he did not fully achieve the latter.

The black mist demon still attacked the dreamland, and almost wiped out Rhodes completely.

Meredith continued:

"Trorian is at a critical crossroads. Whether to take off or sink, our choice is very important."

"We must see the future clearly to prevent tragedies from happening to us."

"The prophecy of the source can clear the fog for us and see the direction of the future, but the ceremony is very difficult. Our future is too confused, and it needs to consume more materials with the power of destiny."

"The ancient city of Sagus is the best target to obtain fate materials. Before I set off, I used a high-level psionic prophecy ritual to see the dangers of this trip..."

Meredith paused, his tone becoming serious.

"But unexpectedly, I discovered a huge crisis for you."

Rhodes frowned, an existential crisis aimed at me?

Is it the invasion of dreams?
But the next invasion has not yet appeared, and because of the sleeping of the book of knowledge and dolls, the dreamland is temporarily hiding in the dark clouds of the sea of ​​chaos, and there is no danger.

What is that crisis?
Is the ancient evil thought Amon's threat?

Iyeta said with a gloomy face: "We can't see the source of the crisis clearly, it is too illusory, but the threat is real, so we made a suggestion to the king not to let you leave Trorian's sphere of influence, It’s best to stay in Starry Sky City where the threat has been eliminated.”

Rhodes nodded slightly, and finally understood why the king drove him back.

But what does this have to do with today's arrival?
Have you changed your mind?

Sure enough, Meredith continued: "But soon, we got a piece of news that the doomsday cultists seem to be eyeing this operation, and a powerful enemy will lurk in the team going to Sagus City, destroying The team explores the city of God, trying to destroy them in the ancient land far away."

Rhodes was stunned, and then said ecstatically, "Have you found any traces of Doomsday Cultists? Is it the Adventist Sect? How did you get the news?"

"Cough, that's it."

A voice sounded beside Rhodes, and Rhodes noticed that there was another person standing beside him.

He was dressed in a blue robe with a scale pattern embroidered on it, and his face was wrinkled. He was older, about 50 years old.

It was Lucian, the Chief Judge of the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

He bowed politely to Rhodes.

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

Rhodes bowed slightly: "Good day, Your Excellency Lucian."

Lucian coughed lightly.

"That's it, Your Excellency Son of Fire, we destroyed a base of Doomsday Cultists in a raid. In this base, we found some very important diary documents, which recorded in detail the Doomsday Cultists' plan of action. We From this, it was discovered that the attack on the exploration team newly dispatched by Wangcheng was one of their most important actions in the near future.

"When we finished translating it, we were shocked to find out that they knew the plan of the trip in great detail, as if someone was lurking in the holy fire sacrificial field."

Rhodes said firmly: "It must be the sect of the descendants!"

Compared with the Polluter Sect, although the number of the Adventist Sect is not so large, the elite far exceeds the Polluter Sect.

Lucian's face was serious.

"Your Excellency, Son of Fire, the question now is, how can we find the hidden doomsday believers? The mission of the expedition team is huge, the number of people is large, and it is not fixed, so it is very difficult to check."

Rhodes frowned and asked: "We searched one by one, but can't find it?"

Lucian shook his head.

"No, the doomsday cultists have too many methods, and they can even infiltrate from the outside, but this is a very important opportunity, we must not give up."

Rhodes suggested: "We can detain all the people who may be involved in this operation and check them one by one."

Lucian still shook his head, his voice became low:

"You think too simply. Doomsday believers can hide in the dark and sabotage our operations."

Meredith said softly.

"I spent a lot of thought, but I couldn't find the ghost hidden in the black mist. He doesn't seem to be an ordinary doomsday believer, and he is probably the rebirth of an ancient evil idea."

Rhodes sternly said: "It must be that ancient evil idea called Amon!"

"We are not so arbitrarily sure, the facts will always be different from the imagination..."

Meredith said in a calm tone.

"I tried to use prophecy again to solve the problem and find the crisis, but unexpectedly discovered that if I bring you, I can solve this problem."

"It's the only way to solve the problem."

Rhode froze in place for a moment, looking at Meredith in disbelief.

"I?"

Meredith nodded and said kindly, "Yes, it's you."

"But..." Rhode clenched his fists, "What should I do?"

Meredith said softly: "Son, I don't know, this trip is full of dangers, we can't alarm them, otherwise we may lose this rare opportunity, and it will be difficult to track them down."

"But again, you're also at great risk."

"The power to choose it is in your own hands. You can decide to go or not to go."

"That's why I called you here."
