the last king of darkness

Chapter 74 Dispute
On the other side of the minaret hall sat a man about 30 years old.

He was dressed in a blue and white robe with a triple flame mark on the neckline. He had a thin face, greasy black hair hanging down evenly from both sides, a huge hooked nose, and cold and deep eyes.

"Master Gula."

he said dryly.

"How's it going?"

Manolo Bana bowed slightly: "Your Excellency Jon, Theodore is already terminally ill and delirious. He made a very stupid move. We will win."

Jon looked at him with cold black eyes.

"Gula-sama, I can't really win until I inherit the throne of Fire."

Manolobana smiled and said: "Please rest assured, the name of Wolfgang von Jon will definitely be engraved on the king weapon. Your soul characteristics are far stronger than other competitors. It is the correct path for the future of Trorian, and only under your guidance can mankind obtain true peace."

Jon said dryly, "I hope so."

Manolo Bana bowed: "It should be so."

Jon didn't say any more, and flicked his fingers lightly, and the flame in the fireplace in the hall burned violently.

This is not a natural flame, but a guardian fire. In theory, as long as it is strong enough, it can become a sacred flame.

Any settlement of human beings exists around it, and what really restricts Trorian's outward expansion is the number of guardian fires.

Without it, no living thing can last long in the eternal black mist.

It is impossible to allow the guardian fire to exist in a private fireplace, and it is impossible to do it only with the status of the chief judge of the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

Only candidates for the king will do.

Every king of Trorian is born from the candidates for the king.

The conditions for becoming a candidate for the king are very simple.

Ignite the fire of the soul, become the spirit giver of fire (spiritual fire sequence), and obtain the most important of all the soul characteristics that have appeared in human beings since ancient times:
【Eternal Burning Fire】

It's so rare that only four people in the entire Trorian kingdom have it.

king.

Wolfgang von Jon.

Ali Gaili Dan Qingyu.

Modric Law Starsong.

Once the soul of the old king returns to the holy fire, the next new king will be born from Jon, Qingyu and Xingge.

Only those who have the characteristic of [Eternal Burning Flame] can resonate with the holy fire, gain the power of the holy fire and maintain its stability, and protect the holy fire from being extinguished forever.

There can only be one resonance object of the holy fire.

Those who decide who is eligible to become king are the elders in the Supreme Council. They are all figures who have made outstanding contributions to the kingdom and enjoy high prestige in the legion or government hall.

The criteria for judging are all the actions and achievements of the three since they became candidates.

According to Trorian's inheritance, the candidate for the king will also serve as a guardian at the same time, becoming the supreme officer of a defense zone, responsible for protecting the lives and safety of all civilians under the defense zone.

Jon is the guardian of the seventh defense zone, Qingyu is the guardian of the No.12 defense zone, and Xingge is the guardian of the fourteenth defense zone.

At present, Jon is the most promising person to become king, but the appearance of Qingyu poses a strong challenge to him. She performed very well in the twelve defense areas and won the appreciation of many elders.

He must change this situation and attack Qingyu.

And Manolo Bana has found a very good entry point.

The only survivor of Redstone Village, Rhodes.

Qingyu protected him with power, so as long as he is proved to be a doomsday cultist, the arrogance of Qingyu and his supporters can be dealt a heavy blow.

Although there were some twists and turns in the plan, it did not affect the subsequent implementation. Manolo Bana believed that he would be able to kill that arrogant little beast soon.

Although the other three chief judges all favored him, he was not the only one in the Internal Affairs Tribunal.

Three huge figures stepped out of the flames, and bowed deeply to Jon who was sitting on the first seat.

They are the chief judges of Wangcheng.

"Meet Lord Jon, and may the fire protect you forever."

Jon nodded slightly: "My lords, I would like to know if your Excellency Lucian's attitude has changed."

The three justices looked at each other and said softly: "Your Excellency, the ruling chief, is the same as before, unwilling to participate in the matter of spreading the fire."

Jon nodded, which was expected. Lucien is a diehard who follows the ancient rules, as long as he does not fall to Qingyu or Xingsong, it will be fine. Although the real decision makers are the elders, a powerful and powerful person can There is so much to do.

"How is the case in Hongshi Village going?"

"We basically confirmed that it was done by the polluter sect in the doomsday sect. They seem to have obtained a very powerful item that can tamper with a person's fate in a limited way. This is how the pseudo-consul Alex squeezed out the original The fate of the consuls, their purpose is to find a certain relic, and the ultimate goal is still to summon the evil god or replace it."

"Guardian Qingyu is also investigating. This is an incident that happened in the [-]th defense area. They have this power and the progress is very fast."

Jon said quietly: "Interfere with them. They must not let them catch the murderer faster than us. If necessary, they can let the doomsday cultists go, but be careful not to leave any clues."

"Yes."

"Master Gula, you know what to do with the rest."

Manolobana bowed and said: "Please rest assured, Rhodes must be a heinous, conscienceless, rape, murder, and sexual doomsday believer. I already have sufficient evidence."

Jon nodded slightly.

"Qingyu would do such a naive thing. I really didn't expect that you can check the relationship between them and see if there is a secret and unknown purpose."

The four bowed together and said, "Yes!"

"Where is Kingworth College?"

A justice replied: "They did not accept our proposal, but the restructuring method we proposed has won the support of many elders."

Manolo Bana sneered: "Theodore is old and confused, and is no longer suitable to be the chief dean of Jinworth College. It is unreasonable to entrust the important task of cultivating the future of mankind to a 130-year-old man. His stupid kindness should be thrown into the sewers of the royal city."

"That's right." A justice agreed: "What kind of Kingworth star, what kind of people who have improved the most, give the best resources to those useless waste, and there are so many support systems for the weak ...This is simply a crime against humanity!"

"Yes! The college should use cruel competition to select the strongest and eliminate the garbage. Every resource needs to be obtained through competition. Students should pay huge tuition fees to the college to support those who are really hopeful, so that the college's Costs can also be significantly reduced.”

Another justice also shouted: "The college's segregation system should also be abolished, and parents should reach out to intervene in the college's affairs. Elite children will always be elites! The chief dean and the three branch deans should be replaced!"

"All right."

Jon refrains from their criticism of Theodore.

"Continue to accuse the college, seize every loophole in them, and in the future, try to replace one or two branch deans with our people, especially the first dean Vera, and get him out as soon as possible .”

"Yes!"

"Also, continue to destroy the defense of District [-], blame the doomsday cultists, and don't leave any traces."

Manolobana bowed and said: "I will finish it. Their bones will pave the way for the new king and guide the Trorian kingdom to a more correct path. Their deaths are worthwhile and they will thank us. "

Jon nodded slightly, and the blazing flames ignited from his body, but the tables, chairs and carpets around him were not affected. He stood up, stepped into the guardian fire in the fireplace, and with the help of the power of the fire, teleported to the place where he was with it. area of ​​resonance.

The three justices also left one after another.

A moment later, another figure appeared in front of Manolo Bana.

He knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said, "The watchman Levi reported."

Manolo Bana nodded: "How is the injury?"

"Sheltered by the shadows, the subordinates have recovered."

He raised his head, under the face wearing half of the iron mask, there was a horrible penetrating scar at the throat, making it hard to imagine how he survived.

It was the watchman who came to assist Raistlin's team more than ten days ago.

"Very well, state your conclusion."

"Rhode may be an abandoned son of the Polluter Sect. Unfortunately, I didn't catch the black priest Selmy."

"It's ok."

Manolo Bana showed a cold smile.

"They've fallen into my trap."

"The next thing is to wait."

Manolobana stood up and looked down at the upper city from the high window of the minaret.

In this huge city, the light of the fire is weakening, the shadows are gradually falling, and the number of people on the road is rapidly decreasing, rushing to their respective homes.

The Day of Fire is over, the unseen sun has set down the mountains, the power of fire has weakened, and once again darkness reigns over the land.

And this lonely city, in front of the unrivaled dark behemoth, is nothing more than an ant-like existence.

Manolo Bana really doesn't understand why some people dare to challenge this existence?Dare to raise your sword against these invincible giants?
They must be stopped!
"Not enough, if Team Raistlin can testify..."

Manolo Bana pondered and fell into deep thought for a long time.

----

Since the existence of Trorian, the forecast of date and astrology has been one of the most important tasks in the royal city.

Stargazers, astrologers, seers and spire watchers, are the ones who do the job.

The White Tower in Shangcheng District is where they work.

white tower.

observatory.

The ruling chief Lucian stood on the edge of the tower, overlooking the royal city gradually surrounded by darkness, and whispered to himself.

"Why can such a small kingdom split into so many completely incompatible groups and sects? Why do some people still not forget to kill each other when human beings are in such a desperate situation?"

It seems to be asking yourself, and it seems to be asking those unknown existences.

But a voice behind him answered him.

"If human beings can unite as one, the legendary era when fire illuminated the earth will not be reduced to the present where darkness is ruled. We can only relive the glory of human beings in the ruins and ruins."

Lucien didn't answer, he watched in silence for a moment, and asked, "Are the big eyes still functioning normally?"

The voice replied: "Normally, my old friend, in the royal city, any combatant above level [-], with psychic energy fluctuations above level [-], cannot escape its observation."

"How long is the next Fire Day?"

"The star core has no answer, and the operation of the spirit world has been disturbed by unknown disturbances. It is quite chaotic, and the prediction of stars and celestial phenomena has become difficult."

"Where's the Kuroshio?"

"Well, come on, you plan to do it at that time, don't you?"

Lucian didn't answer, but said lightly: "The real test is coming."

With a light leap, he jumped off the tower.

-

outer city.

Unknown depths of the sewers.

In a huge space, hundreds of people in black robes gathered.

A huge black flame rose among them, and the cheers were endless.

A phantom emerged from the black flame, it was a hollow face, like a dark vortex.

Everyone knelt down and buried their bodies deeply.

"go."

Sombra gave the order.

"Kill the traitor Rhodes."

Hundreds of men in black robes shouted in unison: "Yes! The command of the Lord is everything!"

-

Kingworth College.

Three dormitory buildings.

After enduring Kashan's mental bombardment for more than half an hour, Rhodes successfully drove her back to his dormitory under the pretext of "sleep with me if you don't go back".

The dean of the department, Miller, is really a jerk.

Rhodes thought indignantly.

It's not good to make any excuses, but to say that when he was staying in Hongfang Street, he was caught by the inspectors.

He also said that the college was very angry at this behavior of corrupting morals, but it was the first offense and there was no punishment for the time being. As the leader of the tenth team, Kashan must be optimistic about him and don't let him do similar things again.

At that time, Rhodes felt bad when he saw the blue veins on Kashan's fist. Fortunately, he was very good at ventriloquist, so Kashan just gave him a long-winded meal.

Time has been delayed for a long time, and Rhodes can't wait to return to the dreamland.

But just as he was about to close the door, another unexpected guest arrived.

It was one of the winners I met at the ceremony that day, Hines of Apple Town.

As the assistant to the chief dean, he brought a message from the chief dean:

"I forgot to tell you. You can still cooperate with the ashes diggers. I have already written the recommendation letter for you. If you need it, you can contact them according to the information on the letter."

Rhodes frowned.

Ash Digger?
He remembered that Rogers said that he was a person who specialized in researching and excavating the history of the royal city.

work with them?
What's good?
