the last king of darkness

Chapter 9 Value (please collect and recommend)

Kingworth College held a very grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of new students.

As soon as the students got off the bus, they were sent to a huge auditorium, where hundreds of teachers had already been waiting.

The air was filled with clusters of fire, the long table was filled with shining wine glasses, and the velvety black ceiling was dotted with stars.

Rhodes has never seen such a magical and magnificent auditorium.

The welcome ceremony is grand, but the orientation is brief.

A dean named Vera raised his glass, and the students and teachers drank the strange wine in the glass together, and it was over.

But the enthusiasm of the teachers shows that the college does not take them lightly.

They actively help students deal with various admission matters, so that they can integrate into the college and settle down as soon as possible.

I have to say that this efficiency is really high.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to receive a basket of supplies and returned to the dormitory assigned to him.

What he didn't expect was that the dormitory was actually a single room.

In a room of about forty square meters, there are tables and chairs, bookshelves, wardrobes, beds, and all kinds of living utensils.

There are even separate bathrooms and balconies.

For students, such a dormitory can no longer be described as luxurious, it is simply a dream.

Rhodes tried it, and found that there was still running water supply, and even hot and cold.

The sewer system is also very advanced, with floor drains and traps, which proves that they fully understand the corresponding engineering construction knowledge.

This is by no means an ignorant country, even in such a harsh environment, they have developed knowledge and civilization.

After closing the door of the dormitory, looking at the exquisite and tidy room in front of him, Rhode felt like home for a while.

Indeed, on a night of terror, in an unfamiliar environment, there is a closed space of one's own, away from threats and storms, that provides comfort and security.

Isn't this home?

Rhodes really wanted to throw the sundries in his hands and the distracting thoughts in his mind on the ground, ignore everything, and get a good night's sleep.

However, this is not possible.

He still knew too little of the world, and of their strangeness, he knew very little.

The danger is not gone, and the investigation continues.

My questioning by the Home Court is coming soon, and I don't know any more about the truth than I did before.

I also want to figure out the secrets in the dream as soon as possible and find out the relationship between them.

Alive.

Rhodes thought.

I must live.

-

But it's not a simple matter.

The environment here is not as relaxed as in the original world. He is not familiar with the place here, and he is also full of troubles.

More than 200 members of the Hongshi Village relocation team died in the wilderness. As a suspect, he was able to receive the current treatment entirely because of his superb ventriloquism.

This also proves that under such conditions, thigh hugging is a very good choice.

"Looks like I'm going to try to hug a few more girls' thighs... My stunts are not for nothing."

"Hey, it's a pity that the new king is a man, and I don't know how to do banana magic."

Rhodes let out a long sigh, feeling a little out of character.

But in order to survive, integrity or something is not important.

Even if he is asked to warm the bed of that stinky little girl Kashan every day, he can accept it.

In addition to hugging the thighs, the second method is self-improvement.

According to the information obtained so far, the human beings here are isolated and helpless, trapped in the darkness, and they must be in great need of combat power.

If he can show a strong potential, then the Internal Affairs Tribunal should not easily move him.

If he can be worth five armored divisions, it is probably okay to let the princess or something wear black silk to show him.

But the problem is, he should not have actually passed the final test of the Trial of Fire, nor ignited his soul.

There must be something wrong in it, which caused their misjudgment.

The biggest suspicion is naturally that strange dream.

And he also has many questions that need to go back to the dream to find the answer.

"But how do I go back?"

Rhodes was a little worried.

"Go to the nun and sister for a set of big health care?"

Although this is reasonable, it is not very easy to handle when you think about it carefully.

If he goes back to Uther Medical Center, it is likely that Aunt Uther will go to battle in person.

The taste was too strong, and his small body couldn't stand it.

It is also unrealistic to specify that nuns and sisters should do it.

The only way is to change to a church clinic.

However, it is impossible for him to go whoring for nothing in a strange club that he does not know, and he will definitely charge money.

According to Aunt Uther, their church clinic seems to be a very high-end club.

The comprehensive health care in high-end clubs must be expensive.

Rhodes took out the weekly salary that had just been paid to him from one side of his pocket.

There are seven silver coins in total, the largest one is no more than the size of a thumb, and the smallest one doesn't even have half a fingernail.

The workmanship of the silver coin is very fine, with anti-friction patterns on the edge. On the front is the head of the legendary human hero Trorian, the founder of the royal city. On the back is a burning flame, surrounded by a large shield and a sharp sword.

This is the silver cord, the currency of the Trorian Kingdom.

Seven silver coins total 22 silver ropes.

Rhodes took out a silver ticket from the other pocket.

It is also fine and thin, with a hollow pattern and a somewhat soft texture, which proves that it is made of sterling silver.

The banknote has a sun on the obverse and a flaming crown on the reverse.

The face value is twenty silver cords.

Judging from the form of currency, there are obviously transactions and markets in the kingdom, and the population should exceed tens of millions.

Otherwise, there is no need to issue currency, and the rationing system can be implemented directly.

However, the currency is made of precious metals, and it is not a pure credit currency, which proves that their currency concept is not advanced enough, nor is it a real free market.

There should be some items that are under control and cannot be bought with money alone.

This is in line with the current situation.

When a regime faces a strong external threat, it will inevitably use power to uniformly deploy materials to maximize utilization.

In fact, it is inconceivable that this kingdom can have currency and a free market.

Rhodes weighed the money in his hand, a total of 42 silver cords.

According to Wayne, a bucket of blue mushroom soup costs one silver cord, a bottle of blue chanterelle fruit wine costs two silver cords, and a full day's stomach costs five silver cords.

The 42 silver ropes, no matter how economical they are, are only enough for ten days.

According to this consumption, the consumption of high-end clubs should start at least [-] silver cables, right?

Then doesn't he have to save money for five months to go to the dreamland?
"No, five months is too long. The grass on my grave may be ten meters high."

How to do?
While thinking about this question, Rhodes collected the distributed items one by one, mainly books, clothes, balances, squares and other tools.

I took another comfortable hot bath to wash off all the dust and blood on my body.

Throw away the tattered clothes and change into the school uniform of Kingworth College.

When Rhodes stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror again, his whole body was completely new.

With a clean face, wet hair, and strangely charming light-colored pupils, coupled with the brand-new, well-tailored light blue robe, a sunny and bookish big boy appeared before his eyes.

call.

Rhodes let out a long breath, and the boy in the mirror also let out a big breath.

He has experienced too many things this day, and he has persisted until now with superhuman perseverance and a strong desire to survive.

Black mist, fire, monsters, superhumans, weird dreams, the royal city with strange customs, and this magical academy full of enthusiastic students.

Recalling all kinds of things, it's like being in a dream.

Yesterday's life seemed to be far away from him.

A life full of unknowns has unfolded before his eyes.

"If this is a dream, wish me good dreams."

"If not, then may I find purpose in the waking world."

Rhodes smiled lightly and lay down on the bed.

Mentally exhausted, when his head touched the soft pillow, all thoughts were interrupted.
