the last king of darkness

Chapter 619 The Day of Crazy

The journey was very smooth. Many people in the team had traveled the route opened up by Liszt many times, so they could be regarded as familiar with it.

Even with non-combatants, it took them less than three hours to walk out of Trorian's territory and officially stepped into the dark world.

The air became heavy, and the smell of decay and death rushed towards the face, and the black mist became noticeably thicker. Every wisp of mist seemed to have life, twisting and dancing, like countless bugs.

All these weird and terrifying things gradually calmed down the fiery atmosphere in the team. Everyone recalled what kind of behemoth they faced, and what a harsh, cruel and terrifying world they faced.

Human beings are like orphans in the boundless wilderness, shivering in darkness and madness, and have no sense of security except curled up by the campfire.

The guardian Night Breeze asked softly, "How far are we going?"

Horus glanced at the astrolabe in his hand, and replied: "There are two sections on the astrolabe, the first section is 3700 thousand yards, the second section is 800 yards, a total of 4500 thousand yards."

Although many people have known it for a long time, there is still a shocked gasp.

4500 thousand yards, there is no doubt that this is a very long distance, according to their concept, it is an extremely deep dark world.

Traveling into such a deep dark world is extremely rare in the entire history of Trorian.

Rhodes suddenly asked: "What's the situation with Liszt and the others now? Have they started contacting the people of St. Rael? Why do we need our reinforcements?"

Horus' expression became serious, and he answered after thinking for a while:

"No, in fact we didn't get specific information. Psychic communication after going deep into the darkness is very difficult, and every word sent back is worth ten thousand gold... Therefore, the news received by the Holy Fire Sacrifice is actually only two words, Support, and an astrolabe map."

Rhodes frowned: "Then how do you know they found Saint Rael?"

A senior investigator explained: "This is inferred from the code words we have agreed upon."

"It is very inconvenient to convey information in the dark, so we often use simplified messages. In addition to simplified text, we will use the next stage of action to default the success of the previous stage, such as requesting the second stage of the offensive plan. location, it means that the first location has been captured, and there are not many casualties, and there is still the ability to continue fighting."

Rhodes frowned deeper: "Then how do you know that they found the new Fire King City, rather than encountering danger?"

The senior investigator replied solemnly: "Your Excellency Rhodes, in such a deep dark world, if we encounter an irresistible danger, it is impossible for us to rescue in time, not to mention there are three Sons of Fire in the team, if they don't If we find St. Rael, when the supplies are almost exhausted, we will definitely return along the same route.”

"And the basic principle of opening a route in the dark is to avoid danger. They will not take the risk of fighting. If the danger cannot be avoided, they will choose to return, just like last time."

"Master Legion is in the team, it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake."

"After rigorous deduction and analysis, we believe that there is only one possibility that they will call for reinforcements, that is, they have found substantial clues about St. Rael, or they have already contacted people from the Kingdom of St. Rael. We need Wangcheng to send a representative team as soon as possible."

"The astrolabe map that was sent back specially is evidence of this."

Rhodes was silent, his analysis was correct, but it was not true after all, which made people feel somewhat uncertain.

Qingyu saw his worry, and comforted him: "Little Rhodes, don't worry, Liszt and the three sons of fire are all in the team, and things won't go too far."

Rhodes nodded, no longer thinking about it, and hurried on his way.

In the dream, the Book of Knowledge and the puppet are also very concerned about this matter.

For them, when they wake up, the age of fire is over, and only the weak Trorian kingdom remains for human beings.

What happened during these thousand years, and whether there are other human beings surviving in this dark era are important issues related to the master's future and the recovery of dreams.

The bold action in the ice prison has completely exposed the dream, and the huge disturbance will inevitably usher in a terrifying backlash. The black mist monster is still in the sequence of invasion, and the crisis of the dream is far from over. The master must act as soon as possible. Only by digesting the fragments taken back from the Ice Hell, and further controlling stronger power, will it be possible to survive the coming storm.

The same is true for Asa, who often comes over to observe the owner's surroundings when he is half asleep.

"Master, this time there seems to be no interference from ancient evil thoughts, and I didn't detect the breath of conspiracy."

"Well, this is not right, what are the three powerful ancient evil thoughts doing? Could it be that I was scared by me during this time?"

"Hahaha, that's right! I have devoured several low-level evil thoughts in a row. They must be afraid and hide them temporarily."

"Master, there must be evil thoughts hidden in that new human kingdom. You should bring your cold woman here, so that you can help me find those bedbugs faster. I will take one bite at a time..."

Rhodes said casually, "Crunchy?"

Asa laughed wildly: "Yes, the master is right, crunchy! It's like dried human flesh, like a bone that has been picked out."

"That's a good suggestion."

Rhodes praised.

"But it won't work this time. The southwest front needs Mephis. The White Wolf has arranged her in an excellent position, where she can maximize her role. Kashan and Annabelle are also in the station. Regiment training members can't accompany them. When we establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of St. Rael, there will be such an opportunity. I must set off the same cleaning frenzy in St. Rael as in Trorian, and remove all maggots. Sweep out from the dark corner, and you will also have a good meal."

Asa looked very happy, and his tone was full of expectation.

"Master, you are indeed the greatest. No one is greater than you. Breaking away from the supreme will and going to the master is the most correct decision I have made in thousands of years! Hahahaha, I can't wait!"

Even the book of the future, which has never talked much, jumped out to speak.

"I foretell your future. Although I didn't find anything special, I feel that you will definitely win again, just like every time before. It's a pity that my strength is too weak. If I can control it again The power of fate may be able to show you a clear future..."

Rhodes said with a smile: "Book of the Future, you will regain the power of destiny, um... you can give yourself a name, we all have names, and you should have one too."

The Book of the Future suddenly fell into confusion, what should I call it?

It thought about this question, and fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

I don't know why, since the bookshelf is full, it is always so sleepy, as if it can't sleep forever.

In this way, about a day later, Rhodes returned to the ancient city, and the tower of the evil ancient god Byatis appeared in front of his eyes again, but the wall of black mist disappeared without a trace, and the surrounding black mist also recovered. Normally, since the Star Essence Altar was moved away, the special monsters also disappeared.

Rhodes briefly introduced the ancient city and the last battle in the ancient city to everyone.

Two university scholars, Professor Binns and Professor Barrett, briefly investigated the ancient city, and said: "This is indeed the city of gods in the ancient era. In that era, the ancient god of evil and absurdity was not a righteous god, so his city of gods can only be built In such a remote place, there are not many believers under shelter, probably no more than 500 million people."

Rhodes asked curiously: "Is he powerful? Is he a real god?"

Professor Binns glanced at him unexpectedly: "We have no way of inferring this. We still have very little information about the ancient times."

Professor Barrett said: "The span of this era is quite long, and it has experienced changes in the age of fire. There is very little information left. We only know the difference between the ancient gods and the ancient gods. Among the ancient gods, there are four Strong gods, thirteen righteous gods, these seventeen gods constitute the main system of the post-ancient period."

"As for the ancient gods, because the time is too far away and there are gaps in the middle, we know very little. We only know that there is an ancient sun god from fragments on some ruins."

Rhodes nodded. He actually knew this, and he once killed a corrupt angel of the ancient sun god, which was not very strong.

"Maybe St. Rael knows more about the Old Gods."

A gleam of brilliance flashed across Barrett's face: "Yes, we have too many unknowns and too many questions about this world, about the black mist, about the history sunk in the long river of time, and I am very much looking forward to meeting with St. The exchange of Rael Kingdom."

Professor Binns' turbid eyeballs were also shining in the firelight: "The moment I untie them will be the most glorious second in my life."

Horus let out a breath: "I hope that there are enough strong people in St. Rael, at least not weaker than us."

"Not always."

Qing Yu smiled.

"Although we can't compare with humans in the Age of Fire, maybe we are the strongest in the Age of Darkness?"

Rhodes smiled and said, "That's right, a genius like me is rare."

These words made the atmosphere more relaxed, and everyone had a faint smile on their lips, although they still hoped that St. Rael would be stronger, so that Trorian would have a powerful ally.

But if St. Rael is not that strong, they will not be disappointed.

The team bypassed the ancient city, and they saw the imprint left by Liszt under the tower, which indicated that the inside of the tower had been looted and there was no value for exploration.

This discovery once again boosted the morale of the team, everyone continued to move forward, and soon entered the second route.

The route was eight hundred thousand yards long and led into still deeper darkness.

Along the way, the black mist didn't get thicker, but it didn't weaken either.

Rhodes asked suspiciously, "Is Saint Rael's Royal City really here?"

Horus said, "Perhaps we are too far away."

Trorian's sacred flame, after being greatly enhanced, has an influence range of more than a thousand yards.

St. Rael's royal city, perhaps a thousand yards away.

It is also possible that their sacred fire is not as powerful as Trorian.

It took another half a day before the people finally walked the last [-] yards.

Looking at the astrolabe in his hand, Horus said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is the end of the route, our destination."

"But."

Rhodes looked around, they were on a barren mountain, surrounded by barren land, thick black mist rolled around them maliciously, there was no fire, and no trace of anyone.

"What about them?"

Qingyu guessed: "Maybe there was an urgent matter, and it was too late to leave a mark, so he sent us the astrolabe map and information in a hurry, and then left."

Horus nodded: "Your Highness's guess is very reasonable, let's move on."

He took out an extremely delicate lantern from his pocket.

"This is a specially made spiritual lamp. It can detect the breath of living beings from a long distance. It is very expensive to use, and it must be dripped with the king's blood... But now, it is time to use it."

He took out a bright red phlogiston and skillfully added it to the lantern.

The archbishop is not only the archbishop, but also a senior fire guardian. This time the team not only carried hundreds of afterglow and embers, but also a tinder of the guardian fire, but it was not ignited.

Horus will ignite this spark under certain circumstances to provide strong support for the team, but he will not do this in the dark depths, because it will attract more monsters.

With the addition of phlogiston, the fire in the lantern flourished, and a bright red light radiated out, which then turned into an orange-yellow color.

This is the breath of life.

"Let's go."

said Horus.

"The team is in a combat state, and the priority is to protect the lantern."

The team continued to move forward, and the light of the blood lantern enveloped the team.

Some uneasiness appeared in everyone's hearts.

Rhodes couldn't help asking the Book of Knowledge and the puppet in his heart: "Did you find anything?"

The Book of Knowledge shook his head: "No, Saint Rael may not exist."

The puppet objected: "My intuition tells me that it exists, as long as we look for it patiently."

Asa stared at the bloody lantern for a while, then suddenly said: "Master, I found that this lantern has a fatal flaw. Its energy leaks out a lot, and a lot of power that has not yet been digested is also lost. It lost its efficiency, and I just made up for that."

Rhodes was surprised: "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Asa said with a smile: "Master, give them a little shock of the King of Devouring Poop."

After that, Rhodes didn't want to recall anything. Repairing the blood lantern required special materials. Asa asked Rhodes to make some on the spot, and then pasted them on the lantern.

If it wasn't for Rhodes' quick explanation, Horus would think that his soul had been eroded and blackened, and he was about to go crazy.

But after returning the fresh-breathing lantern to Horus, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"My detection distance has been greatly increased! Oh my god, it's at least 50 yards! The radius is [-] yards! It's expanded more than [-] times!"

Everyone was shocked, including well-informed academics and senior researchers.

No one would have thought that their strongest new star would have such a function.

But the more shocking thing is still behind. After repairing the blood lantern, it didn't take long before the lantern gave feedback, and the bright red breath began to boil, forming an arrow pointing to the southeast!

Horus opened his mouth, he couldn't believe it, it meant they found a living creature!
At this moment, the whole team is boiling!

"It must be Liszt and the others!"

Horus said firmly.

"Let's hurry over and join them."

The team picked up speed, about a quarter of an hour later.

"Here we are!" Horus yelled, "Just ahead."

He couldn't wait to light the embers, and a bright flame dispelled the black mist and illuminated the road ahead.

However, under the light of the fire, it was not Liszt and the others.

It was corpses all over the place, the ground was stained red with blood, black mist swirled above it, and some corpses had already shown signs of obvious decay.

Everyone's hearts tightened instantly.

Snapped!
The bright red arrow dissipated, the blood lantern returned to calm, and the breath of life disappeared.
