the last king of darkness

Chapter 8 I'm Safe (Please recommend and collect)
When the white light dissipated, Rhodes found that they had come to a huge hall again.

The light here is relatively dim, and copper lamps are used for lighting instead of flames. The hall is full of tables, chairs, bookshelves and scattered items, making it look very messy.

In front of the long table on one side of the hall, there was a long queue.

A middle-aged man ran over.

"Your Excellency, is this the last batch of freshmen? Why is there only this?"

"Something happened in the upper city. I sent the students who had already lit the fire. I will leave the rest to you. I have to move another group of people to a safe place."

The middle-aged man asked hesitantly, "Is it because of the Kuroshio?"

The archbishop's face was gloomy, and he answered briefly: "Not all, it's because there is a loophole in the silver oath. Your Excellency the priest has passed away. You will not be affected. I am leaving."

After speaking, it turned into a stream of light and flew away.

The middle-aged man looked very sad, but when he saw them in a blink of an eye, he smiled again.

"Students, come with me, there is the inspection point of the Engineering Research Institute, they will check out your sequence and soul characteristics, and assign you departments."

He led them to line up behind the long queue, constantly talking about the rules and regulations of the college, occasionally interspersed with the glorious achievements and long history of the college.

From him, Rhodes mainly obtained a key information.

Kingworth College was established by an organization called the Kingworth Society. The original goal of this organization was to study the origin of the black fog and the methods to eliminate it.

Now it has become the highest academic organization in Wangcheng, and the scope of research has expanded extremely widely. Many decisions of the Wangcheng Council will be consulted with them before making many decisions.

"For the problem of writing, maybe you can ask the Jinworth Society for help."

Rhodes thought, but now he is more worried about the detection problem.

If the test fails, or if some contraindications are detected, then he may face a catastrophe.

The boy who had just been burned to ashes was vivid in his memory.

Worried, Rhodes quickly approached the checkpoint.

It was a disk-shaped device. The tester stood up and put his hand on the crystal ball on the long table, and the corresponding words would appear on the crystal ball.

The inspector will register and record it after identification.

This work is not very smooth, sometimes the response of the crystal ball will be very slow, and sometimes the words that emerge are very difficult to understand, and the inspectors need to repeatedly consult various books and materials to confirm.

And now this one has been a long wait.

Wayne complained behind him: "The weird people in the Engineering Research Institute, the weird things they made are not reliable at all."

-

Finally, the test results came out.

"The subject, Annavesta of Wengerburg, belongs to the sequence, spiritual fire. Soul characteristics, moonlight. A class of long-range combatants. It is recommended to assign a department, one department, one department, salary level, special grade."

There was a burst of exclamation all around.

Anna Vista is a tall girl with long hair and shoulders.

Her face was cold, she didn't seem surprised by this, and she walked down from the device calmly, not paying attention to the envious eyes around her.

Maybe the last one was delayed for too long, and the next one came out soon.

"The subject, the Red Bee from Qianhu Town, belongs to the sequence, Spark. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is two, the fire types are steel body, immortal body. Class I combatants, it is recommended to assign departments, the second department and the first department, Salary grade, level two."

There was also a small exclamation sound from around.

Red Bee happily stepped off the device, and someone took her to the other side immediately.

Rhodes asked in a low voice: "Wayne, what does sequence mean? How are departments divided?"

Wayne explained seriously.

"Kingworth College is divided into three colleges, and each college has ten departments. The emphases of the colleges and departments are different, and the faculty is also different. But in general, one college and one department is the best."

"You can tell from the salary scale that the top students who can get special salary are the top students."

"There are two types of fire bearers. One is that the entire soul is ignited during the trial, showing the complete soul characteristics. This kind is called the fire-bringer, or spiritual fire for short."

"The other kind of soul is not fully ignited, but it leaves a "fire seed" in the soul. Afterwards, through hard training, more fire seeds can be ignited. Every time a fire seed is ignited, a new ability will be obtained."

"This kind is called the fire enabler, or spark for short."

Rhode snorted: "Which sequence is stronger?"

Wayne replied: "Spirit fire is generally considered to be stronger than star fire. Scholars in Wangcheng believe that spirit fire is a complete soul characteristic, while the fire seed of star fire is a fragment of soul characteristic. No matter how many fragments you get, it is impossible to be stronger than the complete characteristic."

"After Lord Alan appeared, this point of view was challenged, and the Spark sequence was also taken seriously. Although it is still not as good as Spirit Fire, it is much better than before."

"Who is Alan?"

Wayne's tone suddenly became very reverent.

"The strongest knight in the knight order, the first knight, he ignited nineteen fires and broke all previous records. He is the hero I admire the most."

When Rhodes wanted to ask again, his name was already called in front of him.

"The next subject, Rhodes of Redstone Village!"

Rhodes took a light breath, stood on the device, and put his hand on the crystal ball.

After a long time, a line of text was displayed on the crystal ball.

As soon as the inspector saw the words on the crystal ball, his brows knit together.

He rummaged through the pile of books under the table for a long time, and finally took out a dusty tome.

The inspector put on a monocle, flipped through the tome, and struggled to find the information he needed in the small print that was as thin as a mosquito.

"... dim, dark, gluttonous, easy to digest, absorb, chew... what the hell is this?"

The inspector pondered for a long time, pulled out a few strands of hair, and finally finished writing his information.

"The subject, Rhodes of Redstone Village, belongs to the sequence, Spark. The number of soul fires that have been ignited is one, the type of fire, a black bucket, combat or auxiliary personnel (doubtful), the recommended department, three colleges and ten departments, salary level , grade nine."

The moment I finished reading, there was a burst of laughter all around.

Among them, the fat red-haired Hublin had the loudest voice.

"Hahaha, black idiot, do you hear that? It's the first time I've heard such a weird name. Congratulations on adding a new record to the big library."

"I bet that in the next 100 years, no one will awaken the same spark as you."

"To shut up!"

The middle-aged man ran over from behind the team and stopped their ridicule.

"He will go to the front line like us in the future, and he will also guard his homeland like us. What qualifications do you have to laugh at? Remember, never point the blade at our companions, that is reserved for those bastards in the black mist of."

He turned his head and said kindly to Rhodes.

"Don't be discouraged boy, you have more than one fire, think about Alan, as long as you study hard and train hard, everything will be fine."

Wayne whispered in his ear, too, "Don't pay attention to that idiot."

Rhodes pretended to accept it humbly, but he let out a long sigh of relief.

—he was safe at last.

The twists and turns along the way are really indescribable.

From now on, he is a student of Kingworth Academy.

With such an identity, the Internal Affairs Tribunal should have some scruples.

The crisis was finally far away from him for the time being.

"Maybe."

Rhodes looked at Wayne who was nervously stepping on the detection device, and a strong and wonderful emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

"I have to find a way to adapt to life here."

-

-

The test was completed quickly. Wayne is also a spark sequence, and only has one soul spark, the type is guardian crystal, and it doesn't seem to be very strong.

Like Rhodes, he has a ninth-level salary, and he is also assigned to the tenth department of the third hospital.

The red-haired fat man Habrin is in the Spirit Fire sequence, and his soul characteristic is gaseous manipulation. He received a third-level salary and was assigned to the third hospital and the second department.

After the test was done, the guy kept trash talking and taunting them, making Wayne's cheeks flush with anger.

But other than that, there were no twists and turns. On the contrary, Habrin was overly complacent, and was caught by the sharp-eyed college teacher, and was punished before he entered school.

Wayne smiled broadly.

But Rhodes only regarded him as a fly, and didn't pay much attention from the beginning to the end.

It is worth mentioning that the blonde girl Kashan is also assigned to the tenth department of the third academy. She has two fires and a third-level salary.

This made Hublin's remarks that "the three academies and ten departments are garbage dumps" self-defeating, and Wayne's mood improved.

For most people, it's a good day.

The encounter in the final exam was diluted by the joy of entering the academy.

After the test was completed, they sat in a large carriage and came to their long-awaited Kingworth College.

This is a very, very large college, located in the inner city of the lower city, covering a very large area, with special teaching buildings, dormitories, restaurants, libraries, training grounds, broadcasting towers, astronomy buildings, medical offices, etc.

There are also lakes, lawns, gardens, fountains, etc. in the courtyard, all facilities are available.

This is an institution built with the efforts of the entire kingdom, and it has an extraordinary bearing.

It is said that it could not be placed in the upper city only because of the large area occupied.

But in Lower Town it is as well protected as Uptown and the Kings Quarter.

Second only to the Holy Fire.

The treatment of its students can also be called luxurious. Rhodes, as the lowest salary, can receive 42 silver ropes every week, and there are fixed allocations of materials, and he doesn't need to pay any money.

Tuition and miscellaneous fees, book fees, and accommodation fees have nothing to do with them.

Students who do not have to bear any fees and are paid a salary represent an extraordinary significance.

"Maybe."

Rhodes thought optimistically.

"I'm actually safe."
