the last king of darkness

Evra's meaning is very clear. Due to the influence of the black mist isolation, the north can no longer communicate with the royal city. They can only go through the black mist to go to the royal city of San Rael.

Only in this way can they get in touch with the central Holy See of the White Sect and find out what happened in the Kingdom of St. Rael.

Rhodes didn't expect that after turning around, he could only go to Saint Rael King City in the end.

A distance of more than 2000 thousand yards is a long way even for them.

However, there is now a saint leading the team.

It will undoubtedly be better when the route is familiar.

Evra told him that less than 100 million civilians escaped here from Jiancheng alive, and they all gathered in this deep valley that was nearly [-] yards deep and less than [-] yards wide.

It is impossible to bring so many civilians with me on this trip to the royal city, and they will definitely stay here.

The "shelter" can last for four weeks after she leaves.

As long as you return within four weeks, you're fine.

Rhodes relayed Evra's words to Horus and others.

After a short discussion, everyone agreed with this opinion.

Since it is impossible to contact the King City of St. Rael here, the only choice is to go to the King City.

It is much better to meet the Holy See of the Baijiao in person than remote psionic communication.

After all, their top priority now is to get in touch with the central Holy See of St. Rael. Only in this way can they join the battle sequence of St. Rael. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to help St. Rael if they rush outside. It may even exacerbate the disaster.

And having the saintess guide the way will save a lot of trouble.

That's how things settled down.

Horus left all the wounded in Weier and Lance's team, and Evra didn't take anyone with her. After explaining all the affairs and precautions to the left behind, the group packed lightly and left the valley .

Looking back at the valley completely covered by the "shelter", Evra's expression became dignified. Although she felt relieved physically, she would be mentally burdened from now on.

Nearly 100 million civilians and about 2000 fighters stayed here.

They have only four weeks to live.

Once the "shelter" is over, everyone will die here, and no one will survive.

So, it's a gamble.

They had to return within four weeks, bringing reinforcements, food and phlogiston supplies.

The risk is very high, no one knows whether they can come back, but this is a choice that must be made, otherwise, even if the time of the "shelter" is extended indefinitely, the food and phlogiston they carry will eventually run out, and the final outcome will still be trapped here to death .

Evra took a deep breath, her expression suddenly became resolute, and she said, "Let's go."

After speaking, she flew out of the valley without looking back.

Everyone followed closely behind.

Since the target was not big, the nearby monster lair was not a threat to them, and the group quickly passed through the mountains and officially embarked on the road back to the royal city.

Evra's understanding of the entire Saint Rael is far better than that of Weier and Lance.

She doesn't use an astrolabe, she knows where they are just by looking at the terrain.

Under her leadership, everyone's speed quickly approached the limit of barrier-free travel.

Along the way, as they expected, because of the fall of Jiancheng, the entire northern region has fallen, every human stronghold has been extinguished, and every human settlement is full of living corpses.

The black mist is very thick, almost approaching the level of "Yan".

However, there are not only Yuguang and Yuhuo in the team, but also the guardian fire, which is generally called "the fire of life" or "the fire of light" in San Rael.

The name of the White Sect is also derived from this, which is opposite to the "black mist".

As long as there is a guardian fire, even if they encounter a derivative-level black mist, they don't need to be afraid. This is why they are confident that they can pass through the wall of black mist.

More importantly, there are two "Chosenor of Fire" in the team.

This is Saint Rael's name for those who possess the "eternal burning fire". Evra said that these are "those chosen by the fire", who are destined to carry the power of fire in their souls, and they are the natural guardians of the holy fire. Also the most powerful holy match.

Only when countless such firewood are piled up, can the holy fire finally return to the state of "first fire", and the great god will descend from the "first fire", and then dispel all the black mist and complete the final salvation.

It was the first time for everyone in Trorian to hear such a theory, and they couldn't believe it.

Professor Binns pondered: "In legend, the first fire is the source of all fires, and it has long been extinguished... Igniting the first fire and bringing the world back to light is also one of the possible ways to save the world in Trorian King City, but , No one knows how to ignite the first fire."

Professor Barrett interjected: "The current theory holds that the first fire can be recreated by gathering all the seeds of the holy fire."

Qingyu said: "Saint Rael's theory is only one of many possibilities. If there is no source of conviction, it can only be regarded as a hypothesis."

Rhodes did not express his opinion. He believed that Saint Rael's words were at least partly correct. In the dream, whenever the divinity was settled, it was indeed expressed as the "chosen people of fire" who had the eternal burning fire, helping or hurting The chosen people of fire will also become a separate item of divinity, indicating that they have special significance for the life and death of the entire human race.

The Book of Knowledge does not consider Evra's words to be true:

"If igniting the first fire can purify the world and restore light, then how did the first fire go out in the first place?"

Asa rarely agrees with the words of the Book of Knowledge: "The Great Heavenly God was once the object of worship in some doomsday cults. Of course, this symbol has multiple meanings, and it may just be the same name, but whether it is the rumored Great Heavenly God , are not equipped to save the world."

The book of the future was sleeping on the shelf, when he heard this, he suddenly let out a pooh.

"Hehe, isn't the so-called 'certain' doomsday cult the polluter sect? I won't say who the leader of the sect is. The so-called great gods are not at all saving the world, but polluting the world."

Asa sneered and said: "Poshu, you can provoke me. At that time, I was only affected by the supreme will, and I didn't know the beauty of stool. I didn't have the road to become the great king of swallowing stool. After getting the master's After I was saved, I really understood the true meaning of power. As for the Great Heavenly God, at some point, it is the name of the Yuantian God, and the throne of the Yuantian God is the life of human beings who are arranged at the top of the stone tablet of evil thoughts."

Rhodes couldn't help asking: "Do you think there is some connection between them?"

Asa said respectfully: "Master, I can't be sure. The legends handed down from ancient times may have changed, or they have been supplemented, or they have been misinterpreted at will. Unless you can have a deeper understanding of the history of the Kingdom of Saint Rael, you can't make judgement."

Rhodes nodded, took note of Asa's words, and planned to learn more about this knowledge after arriving at King City of St. Rael.

After about an hour.

They had traveled nearly 400 yards to the southwest.

This is a quarter of the journey to Wangcheng. If they can keep going at this speed, they will return to Wangcheng in four hours.

Ifra is optimistic that they can go even faster.

Because the north of St. Rael is actually divided into two areas, the inner and outer areas, with the Misty Mountains as the dividing line. Outside the mountains is the outer area, which is relatively dangerous. Inside the mountains is the inner area.

The gate of Jiancheng stationed in the kingdom is the core stronghold of the outermost layer. Its fall will lead to the fall of the outer layer, but not necessarily the fall of the inner layer.

Ifra said: "If Wangcheng reacts quickly enough, it will quickly support Misty City. It used to have the same responsibility as Jiancheng. More than 1000 years ago, it was also an important town for the kingdom to guard the north... As long as Misty City can be defended, The inner layer may not be affected too much, in this case, we can move at full speed, and we can even contact the Holy See of the royal city in the foggy city."

Rhodes frowned, he felt that things might not be that simple.

"However, we were unable to contact the royal city... All the messages were lost without reply. The current black fog is not enough to block the high-intensity psychic messages."

Evra pondered: "The wall of black mist is likely to be on the Misty Mountains, where a high concentration of black mist gathers all year round. I think it is likely that there is a barrier to our communications."

Wei Er said loudly: "Yes, it must be like this, as long as we pass through the wall of black mist, we can see the light."

Lance's face was full of confidence:
"Like the darkness before the dawn, we go through the darkest hours before we see the sun."

Evra smiled and said: "The next day of the sun is coming soon, and Saint Rael will definitely be able to be reborn under the light of the sun."

The gloomy atmosphere caused by the tragic scenes they saw along the way was dispelled. Although Qingyu and the others didn't know what they said, their emotions were contagious, and they couldn't help becoming optimistic, even in Rhodes. After the translation, I also agree with their words very much.

Only Rhodes always felt that something was wrong, as if some kind of terrifying shadow had been hovering over their heads, and the death-like wailing had been looming in his ears.

Soon, he discovered the problem.

"Isn't Jiancheng attacked by the abyss? Why don't I feel the breath of the abyss in these places?"

Evra fell into deep thought, and answered after a while: "Maybe, under the plane of Jiancheng, there is an exit to the abyss itself, but it hasn't been revealed before."

"But why is there a problem now?"

Evra pondered: "This may be related to the lightless sea and the abyss below it. We have been trapped in Jiancheng for three months. Although these three months are all small moons, it is time for us. It’s long enough, the fall of the area outside Jiancheng, and even the entire north, is inevitable, and we may already belong to the war dead in Wangcheng.”

Rhodes frowned. The only result of this inference is that Wangcheng also encountered a catastrophe, so he could only choose to abandon the north.

The source of the disaster is likely to come from the Lightless City and Dawn Horizon. Evra said that before she lost contact, their holy son and daughter seemed to be in the Lightless City, preparing a new plan.

If this plan disturbs the abyss, the changes in the abyss will not only cause disasters in the royal city, but also affect the distant sword city.

This inference is quite logical.

But the problem is that there don't seem to be more abyss rifts in the kingdom, and there are no large pieces of pollution or monsters from the abyss. Even in Jiancheng, Rhodes didn't feel this way. Of course, that may also be because of him It's too far away.

So far, along the way, most of the monsters they have encountered are related to flesh and blood puppets.

In the lost human strongholds, many monsters of this type were seen.

Even the obstacles they encountered in the farther places at first were monsters of this kind.

In that weird mountain range, the fortress that hindered their progress, and the interior scene, Rhodes still remembers it clearly.

Rhodes didn't forget a word of the prophetic words written on that weird totem.

[The day of madness is coming, everything is howling and fearful, the ancient gods are revived in the abyss, and great terror is coming]

Does this have anything to do with what happened to St. Rael now?

Rhodes was lost in thought.

Before they knew it, they had driven another 400 yards.

Along the way, they encountered giant flesh and blood puppets like before many times.

However, these monsters do not have the ability to regenerate, as long as their flesh and blood are completely scattered, they will die.

And the giant flesh and blood puppet with level 16 psychic power, under the suppression of the two Chosen of Fire, did not perform much better than those regular monsters.

Rhodes was very surprised, how could the monster that was very difficult to deal with before be killed so easily now.

Qingyu explained: "This is the suppression of power, the suppression of the soul, the suppression of the law of origin and authority, sister Evra is the eternal flame of the king, and is at the same level as our king. Without the support of the law of origin, there is nothing A soul with a level of psionic power is weak, and its psionic power is like a bubble, easily burst by us."

Pebella sighed softly: "This is the difference between the king level and the non-king level. The fallen Suffolk has the same spiritual level as it, but it is infinitely stronger than this monster. It is hard for me to imagine, stronger What would the ancient gods be like?"

Geraba thumped his chest.

"What else can I do? It's nothing more than having a root source that is ten times stronger than the strong source. It has level 17 spiritual power. We also have level 15 spiritual power. Little Rhodes also has level 14. It's not necessarily much stronger than us. Isn't it common to kill monsters at the third level?"

There was a bitter smile on Qingyu's face: "Uncle Geraba, you are the Son of Fire... I said last time, don't skip the course specially set up by Professor Binns for you."

Geraba scratched his head, his movements were exactly the same as Rhodes'.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with what I said? No matter how powerful a monster is, as long as I use a bigger tonnage, it can be smashed to death."

Horus said angrily: "Jeraba, you are as ignorant as Rhodes!"

Rhodes was very upset: "What does it have to do with me? I work very hard, do you think I don't know?"

Horus waited for him: "Tell me about it."

Rhodes quickly recounted the relevant knowledge. Simply put, after level 14 psionic power, the soul will no longer undergo essential changes, but the level of psionic power will still increase.

Under normal circumstances, if it exceeds 42 ticks, it enters the category of level 15 psionic power, and if it exceeds 130 million ticks, it enters the category of level 16 psionic power.

After more than 400 ticks, one enters level 17 psionic power.

This is also the final level of psionic power.

So far, psionic ability can only approach level 18 indefinitely, but it is impossible to reach level 18.

Therefore, an ancient god with "fundamental source" and "level 17 spiritual power" is definitely a terrifying existence.

The ancient god of flesh and blood rebirth that Rhodes encountered before may be a relatively special existence. Its spirit is protected by pure star sources, and it has been tortured for countless years, and its body has been dismembered. has been greatly weakened.

Its fundamental source has even been stripped away. The monster Rhodes killed was actually a new monster born from its body, so it was not that powerful.

After the words fell, everyone looked at him in surprise.

Qingyu praised: "Little Rhodes knows a lot, he is no longer illiterate."

Horus nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad!"

Even the Book of Knowledge praised the master: "The master is right. After the law of origin is broken, the root source is the most powerful law of origin. This is the existence of the Black Mist Demon. We will be there in more than ten days." Face it."

Rhodes nodded, now he has almost no chance of winning, he must obtain enough divinity within the next ten days, otherwise he will face annihilation.

As for the weird totem and flesh monster, he decided to ask Evra after he crossed the Misty Mountains.

After another half an hour, they finally came to the Misty Mountains.

This huge mountain range was deeply submerged in the black mist, and it was impossible to see how high it was.

It wasn't until they flew halfway up the mountain that they saw a high wall of black mist standing on the top of the Misty Mountain Range. The thick and strange black mist seemed like boiling darkness.

"At least to the extent of second generation!"

cried Horus.

"It is impossible for the spiritual communication to pass through such a high concentration of black mist. It will quickly deform and distort inside, losing effective information."

Everyone had smiles on their faces, which perfectly confirmed Evra's speculation.

They were blocked from communication by the wall of black mist. St. Rael's situation may not be as serious as imagined. Perhaps as soon as they cross the wall of black mist, they will be able to see countless flames.

Rhodes frowned, was she right?It is my fault?

Horus took out the lantern with the fire of protection from his arms, and handed it to Qingyu, and the more solid light of the fire instantly enveloped the entire team.

Evra couldn't hide the excitement on her face, and she couldn't help speeding up.

Under the light of the guardian fire, everyone safely passed through the wall of black mist and arrived at the other side of the Misty Mountains, the inner area of ​​the Kingdom of St. Rael.

Evra said: "Go to Misty City first and get in touch with the Holy See."

In the excited mood, everyone rushed forward as fast as possible.

Rhodes noticed that after leaving the Misty Mountains, the black mist did fade a little, but there was no fire yet.

But everyone believes that they will see it soon.

After about a quarter of an hour, Evra shouted: "We're here, the Fog City is ahead!"

After turning around a big mountain, Rhodes saw the huge city not far away at a glance.

This is a gigantic city that is almost as huge as Jiancheng, with the same huge walls and towers, with a magnificent momentum and a huge layout.

However, like Sword City, this huge city that condensed human efforts is shrouded in thick black mist.

In the entire giant city, there was not a trace of fire, and darkness drowned everything.

Everyone was stunned, and the expression on their faces was like falling from heaven to hell.

Evra's eyes widened, her body trembled slightly, and she whispered, "No, no, how is this possible?"

Only Rhodes was the first to recover, and said decisively: "Let's go to the city to have a look."

Unexpectedly, this risky suggestion was approved by everyone, so he didn't waste his time.

The team immediately rushed like a city of fog.

Soon, the fire dispelled the darkness and illuminated the giant city.

In the city, except for the dust born from the black mist, there are no monsters and no traces of battle.

All places are lifeless and empty.

Hope rose again in Evra's eyes: "They abandoned the city and moved ahead of time!"

Horus thought for a while, and took out the blood lantern again.

"With it, you can find the breath of life that is alive."

Evra said anxiously: "Okay, okay, let's go quickly."

After being repaired by Rhodes, the range of the blood lantern expanded to 90 yards, that is, [-] yards.

This is a pretty huge range, and it couldn't be more convenient for finding people.

Of course, the premise is that its breath of life is not deliberately covered up.

Soon, they explored the entire giant city, but found nothing.

They came outside the city again and began to search along the way.

Unexpectedly, not long after this time, the lantern gave feedback, and the bright red breath quickly boiled, forming an arrow pointing to the northwest!
This means it found a living creature!
Everyone showed ecstatic expressions, and Evra said anxiously: "Go!"

They rushed in this direction with the fastest speed, and finally, they saw the light of fire on a plain.

But under the light of the fire, there was a flood of darkness.

There were countless monsters, and hundreds of warriors were fighting them to the death. Fierce psychic fluctuations rushed towards them like a storm.

Behind the soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians.

Evra's eyes turned red in an instant:
"fighting!"

She shouted sharply, and instantly turned into a golden streamer, piercing into the darkness.

Qingyu and Rhodes followed closely behind.
