the last king of darkness

Chapter 7 Passed (Please recommend and collect)
The moment the voice fell, the red-haired fat man's face darkened.

"You country bumpkins who don't know good and bad, don't pretend to be amnesiac. I heard that Hongshi Village has been abolished, and the outer defense line has been shrunk. You are abandoned, so you are now a homeless wild dog, right? So Just wanting to hang out with the cattle savages, don't you?"

Wayne's entire face turned red and his fists were clenched tightly. Rhodes was puzzled. Is this person sick?Isn't human feces what you said?I said why are you still angry?

But he has always been cautious, and he has always been prudent in doing things, and he will never be impulsive.

In such a situation, it would be unwise to offend someone before entering the Academy.

Thinking of this, Rhodes stood up and said with a smile: "You are right, wild dogs, barbarians, and human feces are very suitable, and they are suitable for friends."

He stretched out his hand to him, but the fat red-haired man was enraged and rushed towards him.

Rhodes dodged nimbly, and the fat man tripped over the bench and fell to the ground.

The abnormal noise here suddenly attracted a lot of attention.

"You saw it!"

Rhodes held up his hands.

"I didn't do it! He accidentally tripped over it himself."

The fat man got up furiously, and the blond girl Kashan not far away shouted: "If you fight again, I will call you a priest!"

This sentence had an immediate effect. The fat man gave Rhodes and Wayne a hard look, and said, "You wait." He quickly turned around and slipped away.

The side hall was quiet for a while, and the human voice gradually recovered.

Rhodes lifted the bench, sat down again, and complained: "Do you think this person is sick? He himself said he was called human feces, and I said he was angry. A waste of my time."

Wayne looked at him with a heroic gaze, remembering that he lost his memory again, and hurriedly explained.

"Rod, you can't pronounce this name emphatically. His name is Hublin. If you accentuate the nasal sound, it will become human feces. Manolobana is the surname of the upper-class nobles, which shows that his family system is very large and he has produced many Those who carry the fire have contacts in all major government offices, key institutions, and legions."

"Oh, what about the Internal Affairs Tribunal? Does he have one too?"

Hearing the name, Wayne shrank suddenly, and then asked curiously: "Why did you mention this institution? The Internal Affairs Tribunal is a very powerful department, directly under the new king's jurisdiction, and no one can interfere."

"The new king? Where's the old king?"

Wayne choked up:
"It's the old king. He has already returned to the holy flame. The new king has been in office for more than ten years, but his new law is very different from the previous one, so people sometimes call it that."

When Rhodes was about to ask again, suddenly a mighty horn sounded from a distance, and the noisy voices in the side hall were instantly drowned out.

Everyone stood up, knowing that the final test was about to begin.

They were pale and very nervous, but the blonde girl Kashan strode out.

Everyone unconsciously followed her and followed her into the main hall in the middle.

This is a majestic hall, the complicated patterns and huge statues bring a heavy sense of oppression.

A huge golden holy grail is placed in the middle of the hall, and a golden fire burns in the holy grail.

Beside the chalice sits an old man in a red robe, wrinkled and seemingly asleep.

There were many Hong Doufeng priests standing around, and one of them shouted: "Whoever the priest calls out his name, he will step forward and press his right hand on the Holy Grail. You are not allowed to take it down until you get a clear order."

Rhode looked at the burning Holy Grail and felt a bit timid.

Wayne whispered, "Will it be hot?"

"Only monsters feel hot." Habrin sneered, "You don't even know this? Country bumpkin."

Wayne blushed all over: "But it looks hot..."

"Reigns of Iron Cross."

A low, husky voice interrupted their whispering.

A little red-haired man ran up and put his hand on the Holy Grail.

Sure enough, the hot metal did not burn his hands, and the little man stood quietly in front of the Holy Grail, motionless.

About 30 seconds later, his whole body suddenly burst into flames, and the crimson flame licked his skin, swaying gently like a wide robe.

The priest said: "Very well, you can take your hand off now. Your soul is very hot, like dry wood. The process of lighting it is very smooth, and you will become a powerful fire bearer."

Raines looked agitated, and a priest took him aside.

"Lille Hawkeye of Brass Hammer Street."

A little fat man ran up, and it took a while this time for the flames to light up from his body.

"Yes, you can go too."

"Frank of Mushroom City."

A tall, thin man walked up, and it took a long time this time, and the flames did not ignite from him.

When everyone thought they had failed, the priest said: "It's okay, your soul is a little lubricated, but the Holy Grail still leaves a spark in your body, as long as you train hard, you will become an excellent fighter, think about Alan. "

Frank nearly burst into tears and ran away.

The waiting teenagers also breathed a sigh of relief and all smiled.

However, things did not go as smoothly as they thought.

Soon, the first knockout appeared.

He didn't want to leave for a long time, and when he was dragged out, he cried so loudly that he could hear it even after a long distance.

Then the second, and the third.

When the fourth appeared, tragedy struck.

It was a small, black-haired man who jerked back as if his hand had been scalded when he touched the Holy Grail.

In an instant, all the priests turned their gazes over.

The two immediately rushed up and pinned him to the ground.

The priest raised his hand lightly, and a flame flew out from the Holy Grail, sweeping across his whole body.

The priest raised his head and looked at the priest.

He shook his head slightly.

"The corruption is already very deep." The priest pulled him up and took out a small red ball, "Eat it."

"No—no." The boy cried heart-rendingly, "Why me? I didn't, please, please, let me go back, my father died in the mine accident, my mother was eaten by evil spirits Yes, when I found her, there was only half of her body left, and she was still holding the purse in one hand, I broke off my fingers before taking it out, I am their hope, I can't die, I can't die!"

He struggled like a madman.

The priest shouted, "Do you want to become a monster?"

The boy was startled.

"My, my ashes..." he asked tremblingly, "Can you put it in the guardian fire? It's from our village."

"can."

The boy grabbed the ball with a jerk and swallowed it in one gulp.

Blazing flames rushed from him from the inside out, quickly burning him to ashes.

The priest packed the ashes in a red box and took them down.

The ceremony continued, but the hall became quiet, with no sound at all.

Rhode's heart was in his throat, and he felt very bad, but he couldn't repent at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and go on.

Soon, the voice of the priest sounded.

"Rode of Redstone Village."

At this moment when the matter came to an end, Rhodes calmed down instead.

He took a deep breath, walked up, and put his hand on the huge Holy Grail.

very hot.

Rhode's heart sank suddenly, but his face remained calm, just like those successful people, quietly pressing his hand on the Holy Grail.

The fiery temperature penetrated from the Holy Grail, and the palm of his hand was like being pricked by thousands of needles. The pain kept provoking his nerves. Rhodes clenched his teeth and remained motionless.

After a few minutes, Rhodes noticed that the priest moved.

He opened his eyelids and glanced at him, there seemed to be doubts in the cloudy eyeballs.

Rhodes was extremely nervous. If the priest sensed that something was wrong with him, no matter how he pretended, it would be useless.

While in a hurry, suddenly, there was a loud roar from outside the hall.

The officiant stood up in an instant, his rickety and thin body exuded a force that could not be ignored, and Rhodes felt as if a giant stood in front of him.

boom!
Another loud bang came, and all the fires in the hall were extinguished, leaving only the Holy Grail still emitting a warm red afterglow.

"Everyone stay where you are! Don't go out no matter what happens!"

A priest shouted, and his figure turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the hall, while the chief priest and other priests had long since disappeared.

The hall darkened, and everyone felt uneasy in the shadows. They moved closer unconsciously, wanting to gain more sense of security.

Only Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd, and made up his mind that if something couldn't be done, he would just give up.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white robe returned to the main hall and said loudly: "Those who have passed the final test will follow me, and those who have not yet taken the final test will stay where they are."

He cleared them out quickly, but for some reason, he pulled Rhodes into the team.

The red-haired fat man Hublin shouted: "Your Excellency the Archbishop, he failed!"

Rhodes was shocked, and was about to admit that he failed the trial.

The white-robed archbishop turned his head, red light flickered in his eyes, as if recognizing it, and angrily shouted after a few seconds: "Shut up! Don't make trouble!"

Hublin yelled aggrievedly: "I didn't make trouble, he really didn't pass, and the priest didn't admit it!"

The archbishop's face became dangerous.

"Hablin, if you try to deceive me again, I will punish you. No matter what enmity you have, don't bring it into official affairs."

"It's our rule."

Hublin shut his mouth and looked like he had eaten a ton of shit.

No one spoke anymore, and the archbishop waved his hand, and white light enveloped them, turning into a shooting star and flying out of the main hall.
