the last king of darkness

Chapter 606 My First Step

Rhodes saw for the first time how a snow-white face turned red at a textbook speed.

But he didn't think of that aspect at the first time.

Because this is the sacred fire sacrificial site, the afterglow of the psionic upgrade ceremony is still flickering under the large crowd.

You can't say that in front of the king, right?
Just as he was wondering, Rhodes' attention was attracted by the psionic panel in front of him in the next second, and the two large characters "14" on it instantly pierced his eyes.

Although he already knew that he had advanced, this number still gave him great joy.

Wang came to him, smiled and said, "Little Rhodes, you are now a real super fighter."

"Everyone, let's present fireworks for the birth of Trorian's eighth son of fire."

Bang!
The fire priests exploded the psionic energy at their fingertips, blooming gorgeous festoons.

The top of the holy fire sacrificial field opened slowly, and the golden holy fire emitted thousands of dazzling golden lights, soaring into the sky, covering the entire royal city under the golden light.

Wang touched his chin and murmured: "Well, it seems that something is missing... Ah yes, how can we miss the beautiful girl's sweet kiss at this time?"

Mina's face became even redder: "Your Majesty, this is not good, I don't want to, Rhodes is too ugly, it's out of my range, but since it's your request, I can only reluctantly do it... woo Woooo suck, you have to make it up to me."

She leaned up and carefully kissed Rhodes on the cheek.

Rhode wiped his face: "Why so much water?"

Mina gave him a blank look: "Can't I drink too much water?"

The bald master suddenly coughed again and again.

Mina's expression was slightly complicated, and she asked in a low voice: "Rhode, if you are free, can you help me with my research?"

Rhodes was surprised: "Meet difficulties?"

Mina nodded lightly, biting her red lips lightly with her white teeth, her tone seemed very depressed:
"The No. 59 psychic construct has been put into actual combat, and its combat power has basically met expectations. Under certain circumstances, it can be equivalent to a first-level combatant, but it is not suitable for complex battles, and it has no high-speed movement function, and It was expensive, and we only made a dozen of them."

"In order to improve these problems, we designed the No. 99 psionic construct. Its combat effectiveness has been further improved, but it has encountered serious engineering structural problems. Many parts need more intensive psionic tests, but There are no special combatants willing to help us..."

Rhodes scratched his head and glanced at Star Plaza.

There were a few golden glints on it, proving that there was some divinity in getting this done, but not much.

"Ok."

Rhodes agreed, but added another sentence.

"If I'm free."

A smile suddenly appeared on Mina's face: "Great, I knew you would agree, Rhodes, our friendship will never deteriorate, right?"

Rhodes scratched his head. In fact, he really wanted to say that our friendship hasn't deteriorated?

But in the public, he is not easy to speak.

The bald master also bowed to him and thanked him: "Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to assist us in our work. Your actions will help Trorian's civilization take a step forward."

"Goodbye, Master Fire Son, I hope you can come soon."

After the bald master and Mina left, Wang showed a narrow smile: "Come on, little Rhodes."

Rhodes clenched his fist and pressed it to his heart: "I will, king, I will definitely find Saint Rael on this dark journey."

Wang smiled slightly: "Little Rhodes, from now on, you have officially existed in the giant tree of Trorian. Next, Horus, Dalin, and Alehan will tell you how to To become a qualified super fighter, I hope you can become a qualified towering giant tree as soon as possible to protect all beings in Trorian."

I don't know why, at this moment, an inexplicable emotion rose in Rhodes' heart, and glory and responsibility fell on his shoulders together.

He is no longer a small person hiding behind a tree, his potential has been transformed into strength.

The king continued: "According to the ancient philosophy, the law-maker is the quasi-king, the most junior king in the realm of kings, so you are actually in the same realm as me."

Rhodes asked curiously: "King, what rank are you in?"

Wang smiled and said: "I'm still at the king level, but I have vaguely touched the root source. By now, you should know that powerful spiritual energy is the basis for touching the source of a higher level."

Rhodes nodded slightly. The king's words couldn't be more correct. Even the quantification of the stars in the dream requires a specific level of spiritual power.

If he hadn't been promoted to level 14 psionic power, the three stars might never have been quantified.

"Of course, only strong spiritual power is not enough. The will of the spirit, the power of the soul, and the chance in the dark are all indispensable."

Looking up at the burning holy flame, the king sighed softly.

"Little Rhodes, you will soon clearly feel the meaning of the soul controlling the source. It is the authority of the universe and a part of the power of the creator god. Only by controlling more sources can we control more vitality .”

Rhodes actually understood all this far better than they imagined. Although the knowledge in the Book of Knowledge is sometimes unreliable, it is sometimes extremely deep.

He asked curiously: "Wang, what is the strength of your spiritual energy? I still can't sense it."

Wang also fell into deep thought for a while, and answered after a long time.

"I don't know too well. There is no instrument in Wangcheng that can measure my spiritual power. The last time I tested my spiritual power was 20 years ago. I have forgotten the exact number. Maybe there is this record in the big library. If you If you want to see it, I can ask the manager of the big library to find it."

Rhodes looked at Wang in surprise. Although he knew that Wang was very strong, he didn't expect to be so strong that even instruments could not test it.

As for the data from 20 years ago, it is not of much value. The king at that time might not be as strong as him.

"If it's not troublesome." Rhodes said: "I just want to see how far I am from you back then, and when will I catch up with you."

Wang smiled and said: "Maybe there will be such a day. Although my psychic power has reached an unimaginable level, the road to the true king has long been cut off. Maybe I will never be able to take that real step."

Rumble!
The holy flame suddenly let out a dull roar.

Wang looked back and said, "Well, another lost monster is approaching the holy flame...I'm going to fight, go back, little Rhodes."

After finishing speaking, he turned into a golden light and returned to the holy fire.

Rhodes looked up at the figure in the burning holy flame. His spirit had entered the spirit world silently, fighting all monsters that threatened the holy flame.

Suddenly, he had a strange feeling that he and the king seemed to have the same identity, fighting at different levels, but the ultimate goal was to protect mankind, break through the black mist, and fight for the blue and clean world.

After leaving the sacred fire sacrificial field, officials from the Wangcheng Government Affairs Office and Service Department found him.

They said that according to the laws of the royal city, a mansion will be arranged for Rhodes as the exclusive residence of the Son of Fire. He can make any request, and the high-level production staff will strictly remodel the mansion according to his needs.

Rhodes was dumbfounded by the question, he had never thought about this aspect, but fortunately, the officials had already prepared and took out a bunch of thick notebooks to ask him to choose.

The dazzling illustrations in the book dazzled Rhodes' eyes. There are all kinds of decorations and utensils. You can even choose the production staff to rebuild for him. They have different soul characteristics. It only takes three days to build a mansion. .

Trorian's construction ability is very strong, as long as it does not involve high-strength fortifications or buildings with special purposes, it can be completed in a very short time.

Therefore, as long as there are resources, Trorian can easily build a town in the wilderness.

But it is easy to build, but difficult to keep.

And if there is no output, only consumption, then its existence is meaningless.

Therefore, Trorian not only needs a site, but also a good site.

Fertile soil, water, minerals, as long as there are these resources, a human settlement can be built.

As for the construction inside the royal city, it couldn't be easier.

Rhodes randomly picked a pleasing to the eye as his chief architect, chose a circular mansion, and left him free to do the rest.

But this is not over yet, the officials then asked him to choose servants, as the giant tree of Trorian, his life should be completely worry-free and extremely comfortable, and he should be satisfied with any enjoyment, and there are countless people I am willing to do this job - you know, going to the upper city, living in a big house, lighting a big magic lamp, and having no worries about food and clothing are what many people dream of.

The officials of the Service Department even thoughtfully listed all the people who had intersected with him.

On it, Rhodes saw the hotel proprietress Sasha when he was fighting in the sewers of the lower city, A Duo, the water spray flower when he was in the hunter group, and many, many people he had forgotten in the corner of his memory.

"Are they all willing?"

"Of course." The official of the Service Department looked at him in surprise: "Is there anyone else who is not willing?"

"Ok."

Rhodes selected everyone, but it was still far from the standards of the Son of Fire. Under the urging of the service department officials, he had to turn over the following criteria to recommend service personnel, and reluctantly chose many fair-skinned and beautiful adults. Longlegs entered his mansion.

"Okay, that's all, it's too much..."

"Okay, Your Excellency the Son of Fire."

The officials of the Service Department recorded every lucky one and compiled them into a book.

"Huh? Why are they all tall girls..."

Rhodes hurriedly coughed and changed the subject: "Is there anything else?"

The Service Department official nodded: "The food you like, the color you like, the way you want to serve, do you have any special hobbies..."

This question, which lasted for more than two minutes, made Rhodes heartbroken.

But as soon as the officials from Wangcheng Government Affairs Office and Service Department left, the First Defense Chief Lin found him again.

"Little Rhodes."

At this time, Dalin has gray hair all over his head, and the heavy scheduling work has put him under heavy pressure, but there is still no trace of fatigue on his face, only a smile.

"I didn't expect you to become the Son of Fire so soon. I never thought that one day I would hold fifteen trump cards in my hand."

"So, I came to you specifically to tell you my experience, how to become a good special fighter."

Rhodes scratched his head. He didn't quite understand Dalin's words. The stronger the special fighters, the better. Needless to say?
Are you going to teach me how to become stronger?

But soon, Rhodes realized that this is a science.

In most battles, super combatants are the absolute core of the team.

How to fight side by side with teammates whose combat power is too far behind your own, how to maximize their role, how to preserve their vitality, how to make choices at critical moments, how to tear apart the monster clusters to maximize the results of the battle as much as possible, how to use the fastest The speed achieved an overwhelming victory.

Etc., etc.

Dalin explained the profound things in a simple way, and told him all the main points in one go.

It doesn't matter if you can't digest it, it's all written in his notes anyway.

Before leaving, Rhodes asked in amazement: "Have you ever been a special combatant? How do you know such details?"

Dalin smiled lightly, his white hair burning under the light of the upper city.

"I'll tell you a secret, which only special personnel know. 36 years ago, I was the strongest in Trorian. There is no one, no exceptions."

After finishing speaking, Dalin stepped on the psychic carriage and returned to the Palace of Fire.

Rhodes was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. The sentence "No one, no exception" has an extremely powerful spiritual energy field,
Unexpectedly, Dalin, who is proficient in combat power dispatching, turned out to be a super combatant.

Did he withdraw from the ranks of front-line fighters because of his damaged fighting spirit?
Rhodes didn't pay too much attention either.

There are many such talents in the royal city, and many of the elders have such glorious warriors.

Open Dalin's notes and read carefully.

The more he watched, the more surprised he became.

Dalin's research on super combatants has reached a point where no one can match him.

In addition to his experiences back then, there are also his thoughts over the past 30 years.

"This is really a treasure."

Rhodes quickly immersed himself in the notes, and before he knew it, a day had passed.

Legion Commander Liszt finished repairing, and by the way, he also cooperated with Lucian to cleanse the investigation legion. Following the vines on No. 19, he actually found some Doomsday Cultists hidden in it.

At Rhodes' suggestion, all these doomsday believers were handed over to Memphis.

After she completely freezes the souls of the doomsday believers, she can tell who is the ancient evil. This is the only detection method at present. It is convenient, quick and cost-free. The only problem is that they will die.

Therefore, unless it is confirmed that it is a doomsday believer, it cannot be used as a routine detection method.

Surprisingly, these people actually hid an ancient evil idea. He lurked very deeply and did not show any abnormalities at all.

If it hadn't been implicated by No. 19, it might never have been discovered.

Liszt was shocked and angry, but Lucien, the chief judge, praised: "The investigation legion is the best-disciplined legion I have ever seen. Although there are doomsday believers, they have never caused serious damage. This shows that although we It's impossible to discern what's inside everyone, but discipline can ensure that disruption is kept to a minimum."

"I propose that all institutions and organizations in the royal city should learn from the investigation legion."

This proposal was approved by the king and the Supreme Council, and a silent change also quietly began.

Rhodes thus gained divinity.

Improve the overall strength of the orderly, bring hope, divinity +12
-

very good!

My divinity has reached 191.

Rhodes clenched his fists.

Doomsday believers, I want you to return all the damage you have done!

Liszt was also overjoyed, and carefully selected 5 high-level investigators, including even the only space-capable person in the investigation corps.

This is due to the fact that Rhodes had to give up materials when he moved the altar. If there is another spatial ability user, those precious materials will not have to be discarded in the dark in vain—many high-spirited materials are not resistant to erosion and will Corrupted by the black mist and turned into putrefaction.

Rhodes is also gearing up and can't wait to set off.

However, to everyone's surprise, there was no Rhodes among the three super fighters accompanying him.

Wang chose Pebella, the Time Rewinder, Geraba, the King of the Hammer, and the Red Queen of Canberra.

When they heard the news, both Liszt and Rhodes were taken aback, not understanding why.

Wang also quickly gave an explanation.

In the prophecy made by the Lord of the New White Tower, Iyeta, these three people have a higher priority than Rhodes.

And Rhodes is more suitable to join the expansion battle.

Liszt was extremely regretful, but this was the king's order, and he could only obey it.

So is Rhodes.

But he has no objection. Liszt will not be able to find the legendary St. Rael just by going there. They may have to travel many times before they can find another Fire King City that has existed for 800 years in the Dark Era. .

Although I couldn't accompany you this time, but next time, the next time you can accompany me.

Just like that, Liszt's team and three special combatants set off.

Rhodes joined Trorian's expansion battle.

At first, he received some routine tasks.

Of course, this "routine" is only relative to him, and it is a life-and-death threat to the soldiers on mission.

Rhodes arrived and quickly rescued them.

Those unbeatable monsters, he can deal with them without too much effort.

Rhodes dealt with those threats that couldn't be resolved by just strolling in the courtyard.

And these fighters are not weak, they are all high-level combatants, and most of them are above the second-level combat strength, and many are even first-level combatants and guardians.

When Rhodes came, it was like a god descending to earth.

No enemy can stop him.

And Rhodes also gave full play to the role of Dalin's notes, leading them to victory with a nearly perfect posture.

The Book of Knowledge is full of praise for Rhodes' recent behavior, and there are too many souls needed to repair the Tower of the Sun.

Although there are more than 200 billion souls in the obelisk, it is still not enough.

It desperately needs more souls.

And performing missions is one of the most efficient actions to kill monsters, and looking for them aimlessly is not so fast.

After a few days like this, Rhodes finally received his first order to kill the king.

Go to destroy the temple, assist Qingyu, and kill the "Lord of Light" entrenched there.

The White Tower told them that although this monster is called the "King of Light", it has nothing to do with light. On the contrary, its pollution is extremely serious and corrupt, which is an important obstacle to the expansion of the royal city.

At the same time, the Book of Knowledge also told him in his mind.

"The dreamland is about to cross the border, and we are about to leave the Chaos Sea and enter the ice prison."
