the last king of darkness

Chapter 602 The Great Harvest

Although it was in the depths of the darkness, it only took six hours for the four of Rhodes to return to the royal city along the safe route opened up when they came.

Even faster than when it came, its pace and handling of emergencies can be regarded as a model for high-level combat power to travel long distances.

When the four of them stepped into Trorian's territory from the dark world, Rhodes saw the influence of the holy flame more clearly.

It was as if there was an invisible boundary, and the black mist not only showed obvious layers, but even became calmer, as if it was suppressed by some kind of force.

And after crossing this boundary, the tumbling black mist is like countless black bugs, active and ferocious, trying to get into the warm skin all the time, eating flesh and soul.

"Sacred fire is indeed the foundation of human existence."

Rhodes thought.

"Without the light of the fire, not to mention the black mist, the monsters are quite difficult to deal with."

The great demon god in the tower is far stronger and more difficult to deal with than the great demon god encountered in the starry sky city.

If he hadn't broken through level 14 spiritual power, he wouldn't be able to beat him at all.

But back then in Starry Sky City, he was still able to fight against the Great Demon God in the state of the Red God of War, and he was not too disadvantaged.

The difference between the two is nothing more than that there are Qingyu, Jon, and Xingge in Starry Sky City to illuminate the battlefield.

As "chosen people of fire", they themselves are equal to and protect the fire.

Where there is fire, it is the home field of human beings.

But in the divine tower, they didn't even dare to turn on the light from the corner of their eyes.

"The impact of the environment is really great. The invincible Chaos Demon in the Chaos Sea is like a pile of fat in the dream, and I was slaughtered in one fell swoop."

Rhodes was thinking in his heart.

"In the future, we must find a way to get one of the three of them to become a teammate, otherwise it will be too bad."

"Fortunately, the Chaos Demon came to deliver the food, and even got on the top of the Sun Tower, otherwise this time it will be bad, and it may return without success."

"I don't know what the reason is, and the book of knowledge can't figure it out."

Countless thoughts rose and fell in his mind, and Rhodes returned to the royal city in meditation.

When he stepped under the illumination of the holy fire, the cold feeling in his soul finally subsided, and a warmth spread into his limbs, making Rhodes very comfortable.

Liszt heaved a sigh of relief. Because No. 19 yelled Rhodes' name before he died, he was very worried about Rhodes' accident along the way, but fortunately everything was safe.

Under the illumination of fire, nothing ominous or weird will happen.

According to the usual practice, those who return from a long journey in the dark must be baptized in the Soul Church immediately to remove all possible pollution or curses and avoid causing disasters in the royal city.

Even though Rhodes knew that his soul was extremely pure, he still came to the Soul Church with the three of Liszt.

Three strong bishops took Liszt away, and only Rhodes was personally received by soul master Priscilla.

This is an old acquaintance, who once taught Rhodes a class, and later cleaned his soul or held soul rituals for Rhodes many times.

She put Rhodes into a huge pool made of soul crystals, and wet his body with special spiritual liquid, revealing his absolutely perfect body shape.

"Relax."

There was no expression on her delicate face, but her eyes, which were as calm as a lake, were always fixed on his exaggerated pectoral and abdominal muscles.

"Don't fight against me, I will let you examine the filth in your body."

Priscilla increased the amount of water, but Rhodes still didn't show any pollution in body or soul.

The screams of Liszt and others came from the side. Although Rhodes reminded them that their protection was in place, they were still found to be contaminated and corrupted in many places.

The bishops were frantically brushing their bodies with a feather duster-like object.

But Rhodes was as clean as if he had just been born into this world.

Priscilla furrowed her eyebrows, adding more water.

Rhode said helplessly: "Master, it's not that you haven't seen me, I am pure."

"Impossible." Priscilla said coldly: "No one can return from the depths of darkness and remain pure."

She continued to twist the knob, and due to the large amount of water, the ectoplasm splashed out also wetted her robe.

Rhode glanced at it!
groove!
Master, your face is so pure, I didn't expect your body to be so impure.

Priscilla noticed Rhode's abnormal state, and suddenly there was a flash of light in her eyes, and she took out a photo crystal from her chest:
"Here, just look here."

Rhodes scratched his head and said helplessly, "Master, I've watched it several times, and it's all the same content, so I'm not interested."

Priscilla said blankly, "This is mine."

Is there such a good thing?

Rhodes took a look, and his eyeballs almost popped out.

"Wow!"

-

-

When Rhodes came back to his senses, he had already been expelled from the Church of Souls.

Priscilla told him calmly that she had already confirmed that he was normal and had not suffered any contamination.

As for what changed her point of view, Rhodes is still unclear.

Regrettably, after being driven out, the photo crystal was also sent back.

And outside the gate of the Church of Souls, Archbishop Horus was already waiting for them,

After returning to the territory of Trorian, Liszt sent back to the king city what had happened concisely.

Because many things were too unimaginable, he didn't even write them down. He just put the mark of the crown of fire in the psychic communication, indicating that this journey brought back a lot of extremely important information and gains.

Therefore, after completing the necessary tests, the archbishop will greet him in person.

Of course, it was impossible for him to come alone. Behind Horus, there were still a large number of fire priests, the two directors of the logistics and resources department of the royal city, the great scholars of the Jinworth Society, Amides, Binns, Barrett, As well as dozens of scholars and hundreds of support staff.

"Rhode, Liszt, No. 7, No. 9, I am very happy to see you return to the Royal City intact."

Horus said seriously, his eyes swept across their faces, and finally stayed on Rhodes.

"Your contribution to mankind will forever shine in history."

Liszt was both surprised and moved, this kind of battle had never happened before.

But when I think about what they brought, I feel that this is a matter of course.

A strong sense of trembling rose from the bottom of his heart again, and Liszt couldn't wait to speak, but before he could speak, Horus said: "Rods, quickly take out the seized resources."

Liszt said urgently: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, this is not the point..."

Horus said in a deep voice: "Legion Commander, this is the key point... We are very, very short of resources and materials now."

Hu Lun, the head of the logistics resources department, has a super big bald head. He immediately emerged from the crowd and shouted: "League commander, Son of Fire, take it out quickly, I'm about to be forced to death! The logistics report is coming soon!" My desk is submerged! If you don’t bring out the logistics supplies, His Excellency Dalin will come and strangle me to death!”

The other steward was a red-haired sister. Rhodes couldn't remember her real name, but everyone called her Feng.

Feng also shouted: "We were originally short of supplies, and it was very difficult to supply our daily needs. When the battle on the front line started, the demand soared. Out of the corner of my eye, even the lanterns are missing!"

Rhodes was surprised: "Why is the lantern missing?"

Feng blinked her big round eyes, and suddenly changed his voice:
"Making spiritual lanterns requires spiritual materials. Due to the surge in demand in other areas, these materials are no longer enough... Brother Rhodes, give them to me quickly. I am so hungry and thirsty that I can't take it anymore."

Liszt's eyes widened. Feng had been the logistics manager for three or four years, and he was at least 26 and seven years old. He was a few years older than Rhodes, and he actually called him big brother.

And he is obviously much older than Feng, but Feng always only calls him little bald head.

It is worth mentioning that the big bald head is the general manager Yolevi Hullen.

He turned his head and looked, and sure enough, Rhodes fell into the trap immediately.

Feng's appearance is pretty, his eyebrows and eyes are alluring, once his temper subsides and his voice changes, it's like a different person.

"Okay, we can release other materials collected in the ancient city."

Although Rhodes asked in a questioning tone, he kept pulling out his hands.

These materials should be collected by Adam Yarel, only some doors and windows belong to the tower.

Hu Lun and Feng's eyes straightened immediately.

"This is a fine ruby!"

"My God, so many super high-quality glow stones?"

"This is a door frame made of weathered iron? Who is so extravagant?"

"Wow! Ruby, sapphire, sapphire... so many, so many!"

Not only them, archbishop Horus, great scholars Amides, Binns, Barrett, but also the hundreds of logistics personnel, the fire priests of the sacred fire sacrificial field, were all stunned.

Rhodes was also amazed. Adam Yarel was not only a powerful warrior, but also a super alchemist and pharmacist. He had been in the tower for 30 years, collected a lot of materials, and carried out careful refining. There are some finished products, which can be called art!

Hu Lun continued to direct the logistics staff to sort them into categories and send them back to the large warehouse in Wangcheng. His shiny bald head rose and fell among the crowd.

The wind touches each item lightly, picking out any that are chipped or spoiled inside, and set them aside.

Her bright eyes were shining, and her rosy face looked very attractive under the firelight.

The three great scholars carefully observed each item, trying to find the remaining history from it.

The Fire Priests surround the site with an intense ritual of fire, removing any remaining contamination from the item.

The feast lasted for about half an hour, and Rhodes' hands were tired before he finished the supplies they brought back from the city of God.

And after finishing all the storage work, another golden light flashed in front of Rhodes' eyes.

Provide resources, bring hope, divinity +15
Divinity: 179
Hahaha!
Rhodes laughed out loud.

This feeling of immediately gaining divinity is great!
The Book of Knowledge also laughed wildly in his mind: "Hahaha, divinity has come again, great, this is the normal state, I am finally not mentally retarded!"

Asa said annoyedly: "I know you are not mentally retarded, Po Shu, can you stop barking? You interrupted my eating."

The Book of Knowledge said angrily, "What did you say? You polluting shit! You actually made us lose a little of our divinity!"

Asa sneered and said, "What I brought to the master is countless times more than that bit of divinity..."

The puppet came over, stood between them, and said calmly, "Stop arguing, it won't do you any good, and the master doesn't like it."

Asa snorted, curled up again, and concentrated on devouring evil thoughts.

The Book of Knowledge also ignored him, and shouted: "Master, have you seen it? This is one of the changes brought about by the restoration of the Sun Spire! Its strength has been greatly improved, and it has been able to obtain a new level of divinity." More information."

Rhodes nodded: "Book, you did a good job."

The book of knowledge suddenly burst into laughter, and said: "Master, the dreamland is about to enter the ice prison, and we are about to encounter a battle in the spirit world. We must make all preparations. The restoration of the Tower of the Sun is the most important thing. Heavy."

The puppet said: "You also need to complete the psionic level-up ceremony as soon as possible. Several stars have been quantified for a while, and they can only be quantified when you enter the domain of the Law Commander."

Rhodes said solemnly: "I see, once the matter is over, I will go to the spiritual power upgrade ceremony."

Withdrawing consciousness from the dream, the scene has been immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and human nature frantically swipes the screen again.

In fact, when he became the son of fire and Horus ordered the holy church to promote him as a hero, his humanity has been swiping the screen, but this time it is faster.

Rhodes tried to distinguish whether there were people around who did not contribute to humanity, but it was a pity that the names were swiped too fast, and it was impossible to distinguish clearly.

"It's a pity that the flower of human nature is too demanding to be a common identification method."

Rhodes thought.

"But whoever gives the flower of humanity is definitely not an ancient evil idea or a doomsday cultist."

As soon as he thought about it, two golden lights flashed in front of his eyes.

Flower of Humanity +1 from Jolev Hullen
Flower of Humanity +1, from Nightfire·Wind
very good!

Rhodes smiled.

It seems that these two are not ancient evil thoughts or doomsday cultists.

"Thank you Brother Rhodes!" In the warm atmosphere, Feng came up and gave him a big hug.

Liszt said dissatisfiedly, "What about me?"

No. 7 and No. 9 also joined in the fun: "What about us?"

Feng laughed and said, "Thank you little bald head, thank you bearded man, thank you Cyclops."

The three were dissatisfied: "Why am I not a big brother?"

Feng covered his mouth with a smile and said, "It's because Your Excellency Rhodes likes it. This is our great savior. As long as he likes it, let alone big brother, father, grandfather and ancestors are fine..."

Hullen interrupted her just in time to thank everyone politely.

"Thank you for the resources you brought to Wangcheng, mankind will be proud of you!"

Archbishop Horus nodded lightly: "With these materials alone, it is enough to issue you 100 badges."

University scholar Amides said with a smile: "The big library will record your experience in detail, and Trorian will remember this achievement."

Rhodes and Liszt glanced at each other, they knew that this was only the most insignificant of their gains.

What would happen to them if they spoke in full?
All of a sudden, the four of them had expectations in their hearts.

After that, the logistics staff left in a hurry, and Archbishop Horus led everyone to the holy fire sacrificial field.

Under the golden flame, Wang opened his eyes, looking a little tired.

Since the intensity of the holy fire has skyrocketed, the original fragile balance has been broken, and the inner and outer spiritual worlds have been greatly disturbed by the fire. There are constant attacks by powerful monsters from the spiritual world, and even monsters from high-level spiritual worlds.

The king fought in the spirit world more frequently than before, in order to protect the flames cast by the holy fire in the spirit world from being polluted.

But after seeing Rhodes, the fatigue in Wang's eyes disappeared suddenly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Little Rhodes, I'm glad to see you come back from your journey into the darkness. Horus told me that you have a crown-level harvest."

Rhodes nodded: "We have gained a lot, far beyond our imagination."

Wang looked at him with interest: "Then this is really good news."

Rhodes was not good at this kind of formal reporting work, so Liszt stepped forward and began to describe the process in detail.

He spoke very carefully, explaining the cause and effect of everything clearly, plainly, clearly, logically, and orderly. He was obviously an experienced veteran.

At some point, the holy fire sacrificial field became extremely quiet, leaving only the sound of the holy fire burning.

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to every word Liszt said, for fear of missing every word.

When they heard that they had discovered Shencheng, everyone's eyes lit up.

When they heard that they encountered the great demon god in the tower, the sound of inhaling came one after another.

When they heard Rhodes forcibly killing the Great Demon God in the dark mist environment, there was another warm applause.

And after they entered the pyramid, no one spoke.

It wasn't until Liszt finished speaking that Archbishop Horus asked, "Then you brought back the star marrow altar, which is two hundred yards high and weighs tens of millions of tons?"

The breathing of the sacred fire sacrificial field suddenly became much heavier, and everyone pricked up their ears.

Liszt corrected: "It was put into his rice bucket by His Excellency Rhodes."

Horus couldn't help showing a look of shock on his dead wood face: "Rods, how big is your crap?"

At this moment, Rhodes really wanted to punch Horus in the face and kick Liszt into the air. Can your words be more accurate?Can't you say storage space?
What kind of idiot, you are the idiot, your whole family is!
Rhodes took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied, "In my space."

The next second, cheers erupted.

Be it fire priests, scholars, or even respected people like Horus and Amides, they all cheered.

Star marrow is a rare spiritual material. Its greatest role is not to make weapons, equipment, or items, but to use it in star rituals.

From the perspective of the spirit, the star marrow belongs to the creation of the stars, and contains the spirit of the stars. In the star ceremony, it is one of the most important substances.

The Star Ritual is one of the important soul rituals, widely used to ignite, strengthen, control the fire, upgrade the characteristics, and quantify the source.

Rhodes has never encountered a similar problem, so he has never used the star ceremony.

But in the royal city, almost every high-ranking combatant has experienced the star ceremony.

If there are so many star marrows, the battle strength of Wangcheng will be greatly improved.

"Everyone."

Rhodes said calmly.

"I think it might have a bigger effect."

Horus frowned: "What did you say? Are you referring to the Absolute Sanctuary? This sounds like something from the Survivor Sect."

Rhodes shook his head slightly, briefly explaining the Spiritual Curtain, the Wall of Black Mist, and the concept of Adam Yarel's "Great Wall of Black Mist".

Everyone felt unbelievable, obviously, they were more willing to use the star marrow directly.

Although the strength of the Star Marrow Altar is very high, but this is the royal city, there is always a way to dismantle it.

Only three great scholars, He Wang, looked at him with interest.

Horus asked in a dull tone: "Rods, what's the use of this? The remaining few words can't explain anything. Maybe Adam Yarel was already severely corrupted at that time and was about to go crazy."

Rhodes had already thought about this question all the way. After communicating with the Book of Knowledge and the puppet, he suddenly had a new idea. Following this idea, he had a new idea.

This idea is very bold, so he wants to tell everyone.

Especially Wang.
