The Last King of Darkness

Rhode scratched his head, inexplicably having an ominous premonition.

"I... will, please believe me, Your Excellency Da Lin."

The knife-like wrinkles on Dalin's face stretched out, revealing a little smile.

"I don't want me to believe in you, but for everyone to believe in you, and for the 100 million people of Trorian to believe in you."

"If you can do this, your name will be immortalized in the history of mankind. Thousands of years later, when people mention you, they will know that there is a black rice bucket. He brings hope to everyone."

Rhode's face darkened, it would be better if he didn't know.

Dalin took out a commission and a medal from the table.

"You have become the mayor of Fanxing Town as a defender. Since it is still sinking in the darkness of monsters, Wangcheng will not pay you any regional salary."

"You also have the command of a battle group as a third-level commander, and you also have the power to form your own chapter, but you need to pay all salaries for those other than them."

Rhode's heart hurts a little.

A Mephis costs 8,000 silvers, and his weekly salary is only 10,300 silvers. After raising her, only 2,300 silvers are left.

"Not only that, but all the expenses of the battle are borne by you, and Wangcheng can only give you part of the material support."

"Because it is an advance experiment, you can only pay for the cost of developing Fanxing Town, but correspondingly, your spoils can also be freely sold to Wangcheng."

Rhode's eyes widened, this is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?

Just having a Mephis makes me a pauper. How much does it cost to start a town? Can I stand it?

Horus coughed and said: "This is impossible, the four-month Kuroshio has caused us huge losses, and the gaps in all aspects of the royal city are very large. Get a penny out."

"In addition to the cancellation of the flesh and blood mill, Wang's new law has been postponed as a whole, and there is really no money financially."

Dalin took out a contract sheet and said, "Considering your situation, we have contacted the giant Mehara merchants for you, and they can provide you with a loan at a lower interest rate."

Rhode's eyes widened: "What are giant merchants? Why didn't you cut them off when you were short of money?"

Horus looked at Rhode seriously.

"I found that some of your thinking is very dangerous, even more radical than Jon. The giant merchants of Mehara are legitimate businessmen who fully comply with the laws of the king's city. They engage in normal trade and production activities, providing us with a lot of taxes and stability. order."

Rhode frowned and said, "Then what should we do when we face life and death?"

Horus replied righteously: "It is the duty of every citizen to give everything to Trorian."

Rhode glanced at him speechlessly, you are not stupid at all, really.

Molly leaned over and pushed the contract sheet in front of Rhodes.

"This is a loan guaranteed for you by the Military War Department. It costs 300,000 silver cables and a 50% interest rate. It will be repaid within one year."

Rhodes was shocked.

"50% interest rate? Isn't this stealing money?"

Molly pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses and said coldly, "If it wasn't for Your Excellency Dalin to guarantee you, they would not be willing to borrow money for such a high-risk project."

"The giants think this is a garbage paycheck that can't recover the cost. They can only create a lot of bad debts. They agreed to borrow only considering the relationship with Your Excellency Dalin."

"And the leader of the giant businessman, Mehara, also bluntly said that you are a waste. He does not see any hope of success in you. If you can pay it off within three months, he will not charge interest rates."

Rhodes' fists clenched for a moment.

"Okay! I borrowed it!"

"Sign here, please pay attention to this line of small characters. The year identified above is the shortest year of 330 days. If you deny this item, it will be calculated according to the longest year of 515 days stipulated by Wangcheng."

"It's the same here, the shortest month is 22 days, and the longest month is 63 days."

"Be careful not to sign this, it's useless, but it turns your borrowing into a weekly compounding pattern, and you'll pay a lot more."

"Damn! Are these profiteers the devil?"

After avoiding several minefields under Molly's guidance, Rhodes finally signed all the names.

I finally understand why there is only weekly salary and no monthly salary and annual salary.

Only one week is fixed.

Molly put away the contract sheet.

"You will receive the money within three days, and in accordance with the duties, the money will be managed by me, but the repayment will be made by you."

For some reason, Rhode suddenly felt a mid-life crisis.

The feeling was bad, and he got rid of it immediately.

"Your Excellency Dalin, may I apply to transfer the people from the Silver Pledge to my team?"

Dalin smoked a cigarette, thought for a while, and replied.

"Forbidden things don't work, taboos can."

"Are they different?"

"Forbidden objects are transformed monsters. They can't go deep into the dark, otherwise they will lose control. The taboos are people who are bound by the silver oath because of certain taboo issues."

Horus said blankly: "In the old days, they were people who should have been executed long ago, and it was the king's kindness that gave them the right to live."

"I want Mephis."

Dalin's brows furrowed, and he smoked his cigarette in silence, without answering.

Horus said coldly: "Anyone except her can. If you just want a woman, I can arrange for you the most beautiful healing nun in the church to go with you."

Rhode's heart moved and asked, "Then can you arrange a nun group for me?"

Blue veins clearly appeared on Horus' dry face.

"This is impossible! The elders will not allow such a transfer, and all their salaries are paid by you, you don't have that much money! I can only give you one place!"

Rhodes pondered for a while, and suddenly a flash of light flashed, and shouted, "I want Aunt Uther."

Everyone's faces became extremely strange, only Da Lin smiled.

"Uther Ironthorn is not only a central healer, but he has also completed all combat courses by himself. He is a powerful combatant, and this personnel is very cost-effective."

Horus also came back to his senses and nodded, "Okay."

"Then I want Mephis!"

"no!"

"Then I want Lord Alan!"

Horus said angrily: "Are you dreaming? Are the Four Horsemen you can mobilize? To use the highest combat power of the royal city, you need to hold a joint meeting of all military battles. Your actions are experimental, not even high-level combatants. Possibly approved."

"Then I want Mephis!"

Horus' dry face was about to split.

"You change someone!"

"I want her. I agreed with her, but others don't agree. It's very troublesome to mobilize."

This sentence shook Horus.

In the end, after Rhodes repeatedly softened and hardened, he agreed.

But he warned: "Don't abuse Mephis's power. Once the curse seal is abnormal, the Silver Oath will automatically trigger the soul countermeasure, ranging from coma to death on the spot."

Rhodes froze in his heart, remembering the first time he and Mephis went to hunt the demon of the abyss.

No wonder Mephis was in a coma that time~www.wuxiahere.com~ I thought it was her power overuse, but it was normal when she froze the more powerful Corruption Dragon later.

It seems that the degree of her seal is controlled by the silver oath. If there is a strong battle, it will be released, and it will be more strict in daily life.

Rhodes thought about it and asked, "Is there a switch to control the degree of her seal? Can you give it to me?"

Horus sneered: "Don't dream, the Silver Oath is a taboo weapon belonging to the royal city, and the authority of the Subordinate Supervision and Containment Department is only half a level lower than mine. As long as Mephis says nothing, we will not be able to adjust it. , the opponents will get in the way.”

"All right…"

Rhodes gave up in disappointment, and turned to ask about the transfer of the secret branch.

Originally, he just wanted to mobilize a few friends to come in, but Dalin gave a better plan.

The essence of the establishment of Jinworth's hidden branch is to select students who are more suitable for growing up in combat, and assign them the most suitable combat environment to achieve the purpose of rapid growth.

If Startown can become such a zone, regular support will be available.

Considering Rhodes' relationship with the covert branch, this is likely to succeed.

The matter was basically dealt with here. In the end, Dalin told him that the City of Stars had been included in the twelfth defense zone, and Fanxing Town was also theoretically part of the twelfth defense zone.

If you encounter troubles that are difficult to solve, you can try to seek help from the guardian of the twelfth zone, Aoba, which may be useful.

This is good news, he has a lot of relationship with Miss Qingyu.

In this way, he received a lot of help.

Then I saw the row of powerful items that had already been prepared in the dream.

Rhodes was suddenly full of confidence.

He had a strong premonition.

A good day for him and mankind is coming.
