the last king of darkness

Chapter 6 Dream (Please recommend and collect)
Inexplicably, Rhodes thought of the devoured soul in the dream, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.

If possible, Rhodes wants to retreat now.

But this is impossible, the memory cannot be restored temporarily, which means that he is always in great and unstable danger.

And Jinworth College is so important, becoming its student, can have a layer of protection to some extent.

Not only that, he might be able to find the answer to the strange words in the dream in Jinworth College.

All things considered, this is indeed his best choice.

Rhodes felt uneasy, not knowing what the future awaited him.

After a while, the aunt stopped in front of a high wall, and a man in a red bucket stopped her.

This is also the first person Rhodes saw in Wangcheng.

"Uther, the last trial of fire is underway, and no approach is allowed here."

Uther flashed a wide smile.

"Gao Wen, am I not allowed?"

"No one is allowed."

"what about this?"

Rhodes clearly saw what the aunt stuffed into his hand.

But he still shook his head: "Youther, this is a matter of principle. The children here are our hope for the future. Although I believe in you, I still can't let you in."

Uther smiled and said, "Gao Wen, you misunderstood, I just want you to send this child in and let him participate in the final trial."

"No, this is against the rules. The trial of fire is strictly composed of the first test, the second test, and the final test. You cannot skip the first two links."

"He passed the initial test and the retest."

"Who measured it?"

"I."

"What about the trial certificate?"

"Here." Uther wrote a copy to him on the spot.

"...do you think I'm an idiot?"

There was a surprised expression on Uther's disc-like face: "Isn't it?"

Gao Wen's face turned dark all of a sudden, Aunt Uther forced him with her handwritten certificate, and said with a smile: "Gao Wen, you should know my ability, bright light characteristics, fifth-level psychic power, the most advanced among the graduates of the same period. Excellent, with full marks in all three subjects and twelve subjects, one of the 32 central healers of the Healing Church, and was selected as the number one beauty on Rose Street, of course, I don’t even mention these little things.”

"I just want to tell you that the person I tested will never be wrong. He will be a seed of fire, will bloom brilliant fireworks, and will light up the future with us."

Gao Wen obviously hesitated, he couldn't find a new explanation, so he could only repeat: "But this is not in compliance."

Uther stuffed a handful of shiny silver things into his hand again: "Does it fit?"

Gao Wen's expression became serious: "No, I am just and honest, and my conduct is very noble."

Uther poohed and stuffed his other hand too.

"But I can't just watch a fire that was about to be ignited go out. Leave this matter to me."

"Don't dawdle, the time is about to pass, send him in quickly, once the Holy Grail of Fire is extinguished, it will take next year to rekindle it."

Gawain immediately picked up Rhodes, pinched him under his ribs, turned around and ran towards the corridor under the high wall.

Aunt Uther shouted from behind: "Little guy, remember to go back to Uther Medical Center when you have time, and I will cure you."

Before Rhodes had time to reply, his eyes dimmed and he entered the tunnel.

The corridor was very narrow and long, and had a high slope, but Gao Wen, who was just and honest, sent him out of the corridor as if he was walking on level ground.

Strong light gushed out, and it took Rhodes several seconds to adapt.

It's a very big, very bright square.

There were many teenagers around his age standing in the square, both men and women, neatly lined up in a square formation.

Right in front of it is a grand palace-like building with a rough style, no detailed decorations, and no elaborate carvings. Each component is ten times the size of a normal building, which is very atmospheric.

There were many adults who were also wearing red buckets around, and one of them with a crown printed on it walked towards him and asked.

"Gao Wen, who is this? Why aren't you at your post?"

Gao Wen bowed slightly.

"Your Excellency the chief priest, this child has delayed the time, I will send him in."

The chief priest was a tall, thin and vicious man. His hawk-like eyes immediately fixed on Rhodes' face, and asked coldly, "Who is the examiner? What about the trial certificate?"

"Uther Ironthorn of Rose Street."

Gawain handed over her handwritten trial certificate with both hands.

The chief priest only glanced at it, then waved and said, "Arrange in the first queue." He turned and walked away.

Gawain led Rhodes to the frontmost queue, and then left.

There was a slight commotion in the team, and the boys and girls turned their curious eyes to look at this new unexpected visitor.

Rhodes smiled at them friendly, and got a gasp.

Although no one spoke, Rhodes saw emotions such as amazement, envy, amazement, and jealousy from their shining eyes, but there was no hatred or numbness, which was completely normal for teenagers and girls.

This may seem ordinary, but it is extremely unusual.

Just as the first reaction of children in war-torn areas is to hide under the table when they hear the sound of firecrackers, children in peaceful areas run to watch the excitement.

The environment has a great impact on people, especially children.

And it is an unbelievable miracle that a boy who grew up in this kingdom that has always faced strong external threats and never sees the sun can behave like a normal person.

"There must be something unusual about this human regime."

Rhodes thought about it, and didn't pay much attention to their eyes.

Now he has only passed a small test, and he still doesn't know what will happen in the final test.

Before one's own safety and destiny, everything is a trivial matter.

After a while, a priest of Red Doufeng came and said loudly, "Team one, enter the selection room."

There was a little commotion in the quiet square, and the teenagers in the first team were extremely excited. They followed Priest Hong Doufeng and walked into the tall palace.

The interior of the palace was very wide, the ceiling was too high to be seen, and the flames burning on the stone pillars dispelled every shadow.

The priest took them to a side hall and said, "The final test of the trial of fire is about to begin. When the horn sounds, you should step into the main hall and touch the holy grail of fire one by one according to the command of the priest. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The boys replied in unison.

The priest nodded, turned and left the side hall, leaving only the boys and girls in this room.

They looked at each other with eager curiosity in their eyes.

A small humming sound soon appeared, like a classroom after the head teacher left.

The teenagers couldn't hold back their excitement and eagerly wanted to communicate with the people around them.

But after a while, the side hall became full of voices.

They excitedly exchanged what they had seen and heard, exchanged all the information they knew, and imagined the future they expected.

"...I heard that the city defense army is going to be expanded, and you don't need to be too high to enter. Combatants at the ninth level can get a weekly salary of [-]."

"But the city defense army has requirements for soul characteristics, what if yours is not yours?"

"Then I will join the Conquest Legion, and my salary will be doubled. In a few years, I will be able to take my parents to the upper city, live in a big house, and light a big magic lamp."

"The casualty rate of the conquest legion is very high..."

"The pension is also high."

……

"Hey, did you know? Qianhu Town is haunted again."

"No, the price of meat is going to increase again?"

……

"You said what if the soul is not ignited?"

"Impossible. The first two tests have already tested our souls in all directions. Even if we can't become spiritual fires, sparks are fine."

"But I heard from my brother that there were many failures in the final exam."

"It must have jumped in line or cheated to get in. This is the stupidest thing. No one can cheat Huo. They are cheating themselves."

……

Rhodes listened quietly.

This is the best way to get information that will help him learn about the kingdom quickly.

Suddenly, a beautiful girl with long leather boots, a long beige dress, and dazzling blond hair came to him and extended her hand generously.

"Good day, I'm Cassan of Mipoor, nice to meet you, my dream is to join the knight order and become an elite white spirit knight."

There was a small exclamation around, as if this was a very high goal.

Rhodes blinked, so he had to stand up, hold her white and slender hand, and imitate her way of speaking.

"...Good day, I am...uh, Rhodes from Redstone Village, nice to meet you."

After speaking, she was about to sit down, but found that the blond girl Kashan was holding his hand tightly. Her smooth little hand was very strong, and her light blue eyes were staring at him.

"You haven't told me about your dream yet."

Rhodes scratched his head: "I have amnesia, I don't even know what you said."

This sentence attracted a lot of attention in an instant.

"Amnesia? Can't the healing nun cure it?"

"Wow... an innocent and beautiful boy with amnesia!"

Kashan's eyes flashed, and she said in a slightly brisk tone.

"Let me briefly talk about it, and hope to hear your choice."

"Once we become students of Kingworth College, we will automatically obtain the status of combat personnel reserve. Most of the students will become combat personnel after graduation, and a few will be transferred to logistics personnel or production personnel."

"Generally speaking, there are five legions that we can enter, namely the City Defense Legion, the Expeditionary Legion, the Survey Legion, the Knights, and the Night Watcher Legion."

"The City Defense Legion, the Expeditionary Legion, and the Survey Legion are the three main armies, and the Night Watcher Legion is a special legion."

"The Knights are the smallest and most elite army."

Kashan stared at Rhodes with shining eyes, and the answer she wanted to hear was self-evident.

Rhodes also followed suit.

"Knights."

There was a slight smile on Kashan's delicate face.

"I'm glad our choices are the same. My mother is the central healer of the Healing Order. She may be able to cure your amnesia."

Rhodes didn't pay much attention to it. Aunt Uther was also a central healer and she wasn't cured, but multiple ways are always good.

"Thank you."

Kashan said a little arrogantly: "You're welcome."

She turned away.

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to continue listening, he saw six or seven girls gathered around him in a blink of an eye.

Judging by the way their eyes were shining, it was obvious that they had the intention of plotting against him and greedy him.

If in the past, Rhodes would have been happy to fight against the Confucians, show off his majesty, welcome him along the way, and teach him all he can.

But now, he wasn't in the mood to entangle with them. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a gray-haired boy sitting alone in the corner, so he walked up and stretched out his hand.

"Good day, I'm Rhodes from Hongshi Village, can I get to know you?"

There was indescribable disappointment on the faces of the girls, while the gray-haired boy showed a look of surprise in an instant.

He hurriedly stood up, held Rhode's hand, and was a little incoherent with excitement.

"Dang, yes, of course, I am Black Ghost Village... No, no, Wayne from Black Cow Village, nice to meet you."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Brother, don't be nervous, we are just chatting, I have amnesia, and I don't remember many things, can you talk to me?"

The gray-haired boy Wayne muttered: "But...but I don't know much. There hasn't been a fireman in Black Cow Village for ten years. They all know more than me..."

"It's okay, just chat casually, maybe everything you said is new to me."

"Ah."

Wayne agreed, suddenly became happy, and agreed even harder.

In the next short period of time, Rhodes thought, listened, and chatted.

Most of the time, of course, he still listens, only occasionally asking questions or making cooperative exclamations.

To his delight, this gray-haired boy knew a lot more than he imagined, and he spoke very basic, which was very suitable for a novice like him who didn't understand anything.

And the gray-haired boy Wayne was also very happy. He never thought that people would be interested in the old-fashioned things he said.

Well, chatting must be the most interesting thing in the world.

Wayne struggles to remember how he felt when he was exposed to this information, trying to put himself in the shoes of someone who has completely lost his memory and tell what he already knew.

This approach achieved very good results, and Rhodes even put most of his energy into the dialogue with him in the end.

Just as Rhodes quickly obtained the information, a big fat man with red hair came over, glanced at them, and said in an arrogant tone.

"Don't be with that bumpkin from Hei Niu Village, Rhodes, you will soon know that there is also a huge gap between fire bearers, friends are very important, follow me, I am Manolobana Human shit."

He raised his chin, as if waiting for Rhode's surprise.

Rhodes almost suspected that he had misheard, biting his tongue and repeating the pronunciation.

"Human... shit?"

What does it mean?Are you specifically emphasizing that you are human shit and not something else?
