The Last King of Darkness

Empire.

Forbidden Arms.

Under the huge real silver ring, a white-robed man came running wildly and shouted, "Boss! Something big happened!"

On the silver altar, a figure wrapped in silver light turned around.

"What did you say?"

—

When Rhodes opened his eyes again, he had returned to his room in the dungeon.

Recalling the last moment, he jumped up, picked up a robe and put it on his body, and rushed out the door.

In the hall outside, the soldiers who were queuing for purification turned their heads.

O'Hara said in surprise, "Lord Commander, when did you come back?"

Rhodes didn't answer, he used his psionic power and jumped up along the wall.

O'Hara shouted, "Lord Commander, where are you going?"

There was no answer, and the man disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other, Annabei hesitated: "Why does he seem to be empty inside?"

Mina, who was studying the relics she brought back from Fanxing Town, gave her a sideways look: "I want to be crazy about a man? Do you want me to help you?"

Annabei blushed and said angrily, "Come on, when I'm afraid of you!"

"Hehe, what you said."

"come!"

"Go!"

"come!"

…

O'Hara turned his gaze to Beowood, who shrugged in a sign of incapacity.

Rhodes didn't even bring a lantern, and broke into the black fog directly.

With all his strength, he stepped into Fanxing Town in just a moment and returned to the point where he exploded just now.

All the monsters disappeared, not even the ashes remained.

There is no change in the building. Some of the squares, pools, fountains, and street lamps from 1,500 years ago were destroyed, but they still exist.

Mephis, wearing a white robe, is standing in the center. Her figure is like a non-existent white ghost in the ancient town, under the dark fog.

Rhodes was startled, and shouted, "Mephis!"

She didn't move, but there was a slight wind blowing and her robe was shaking, proving that she was an entity.

This... what's going on here? The erupting void devoured the monster, why didn't it devour her?

Rhode remembered the prophecy to her, and shouted again, "Mephis! Are you there?"

Mephis moved, as if he had just recovered from some kind of dazed state.

"It's Rhodes..."

Rhode was overjoyed, and he could still talk. It wasn't a monster. He shouted, "Mephis, what's wrong with you? How did you... survive? Didn't the void swallow you?"

Mephis didn't turn around, her voice was soft and toneless, like fly ash after her emotions had burned out.

"That strange void energy bypassed me and all the monsters fell in...but I didn't, why, I can't even die?"

Rhode was startled and shouted: "Mephis! Why did you commit suicide? Is it bad to live? Although the world is dark, there are days like Hanukkah! We wait for the light in the dark, and finally see the light. , isn't it good?"

Mephis lowered his head.

"No...I have no light."

"How not?"

Rhode shouted eagerly:

"Didn't I promise you? As long as I'm here, I'll take care of you, you won't be treated differently, and no one can hurt you."

"Don't see that I am nothing now, and there is nothing here. Immediately, Fanxing Town will return to human territory. When I light the fire in the town, countless residents will come here, and here will be a new human being A settlement, a paradise comparable to the upper city of Wangcheng, a promised land full of happiness, joy, laughter, and no discrimination, prejudice and hatred.”

"And I will also become the new generation pillar of Trorian. As I said, I will break your shackles for you, trust me?"

Mephis said softly: "It's useless, everything is a lie, when everyone sees my true face, love will become hatred, passion will become fear, infatuation will become hatred, worship will become contempt, there is no exception. I'm just a monster in this world..."

Rhode shouted, "No, you're not! I'm the exception! My admiration is admiration, passion is passion, infatuation is infatuation, admiration is admiration, it doesn't change because your appearance changes, come back, we are The best partner, I've already thought of a brilliant battle plan..."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Mephis's voice.

"…yes?"

With a screeching sound, the corrupt black substance pierced from the robe behind her, extending like a branch, forming a pair of withered wings, and the viscous, gray-white liquid that seemed to be a mixture of brains penetrated and dripped from the dead branches.

Cold air emanated from her, solidifying the liquid into an even more disgusting grey-white substance.

Rhode couldn't help but took a step back, but his reason immediately froze his feet on the ground and said softly.

"Your curse is out of control? Don't worry, it's alright, I..."

Mephis turned around, and a face that was far more uglier than the medicine woman came into view. Her deep wrinkles were full of abscesses and corruption, and the pits formed by rotten flesh and blood were all over the cheeks. With the black tongue dragging in front of her neck, she is no longer like a person, but like a banshee.

"Look."

Mephis moved the corner of his mouth, revealing an ugly but sincere smile that he had never seen before, as if he had lost all restraints.

"This is what I look like now, after all the curses are out of control..."

Rhode suppressed his fear and nausea and shouted, "I'll remove them!"

Mephis's smile became happy for some reason.

"I'm sorry, the beautiful me is also a curse. You save me, and you won't get a beauty."

"Sorry for disappointing you..."

Rhode didn't think about it, and immediately shouted: "No, no matter how beautiful or ugly you are, no matter what you become, my promise will never be..."

Mephis interrupted him.

"kiss Me."

She opened her hand, and her silver-white eyes were curved, as if she was cunning with a successful plan, but there was a deep sadness in her eyes.

Pus and blood dripped from her face, her blackened tongue fluttered in the air, her rotting lips just wanted to vomit.

But Rhodes didn't hesitate for a moment, took a leap, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the lips before she could react.

At this moment, his humanity has been declining crazily. Rhode has been saving for so long, and his total humanity is only 800,000, and he has lost more than 100,000 in the blink of an eye.

The body in his arms moved and wanted to break free, but Rhodes tightened his hands and hugged her firmly.

The deep hug was almost breathless.

The body in her arms gradually became soft from stiffness, and the dazzling white light rose from her body, and the flickering mist drowned them. The black mist retreated thousands of yards at some point, revealing the high sky and the whole picture of the town. .

I don't know when, Mephis's hands also embraced Rhode's back, her breath was warm, her lips were wet, the curse dissipated, and she became a human.

But she is not the beautiful Mephis she used to be, but a rather ordinary girl. Her skin is not smooth, her complexion is not white, her eyes have turned gray-brown, her silver hair has turned black, and her cheeks There are some freckles, and her appearance has become ordinary, with only a little girl's delicacy, like the daughter of a commoner.

She no longer has the beauty of a goddess, but Rhode doesn't care, and even touches down uncontrollably.

But this time, Mephis did not stop, but stood on tiptoe.

Rhodes felt her arc and temperature, but instead of moving further, he let go of her.

Mephis's face was slightly red, and there seemed to be water waves in his eyes, only looking at Rhodes.

The next moment, with a cold snort, dozens of people in white robes with silver rings printed on their chests descended from the sky, surrounding them, with long silver tridents pointing directly at them.

"Mephis!"

The one-eyed dragon headed said indifferently and warily.

"Who allowed you to unravel the curse of the seal without authorization?"

Mephis didn't answer, didn't pay attention, just looked at Rhodes as if he didn't hear it.

The one-eyed dragon shouted: "Answer my question! Otherwise, I will take coercive measures!"

The people in white robes took a step forward, the white light on the silver trident spun, and powerful psychic energy waves emanated from it.

Rhodes turned around and said with a smile, "Don't get excited, I'll figure it out."

The one-eyed dragon slowed down and bowed slightly to Rhodes.

"Your Excellency the Hand of the King, Mephis is the most senior taboo, and her affairs are the highest level of vigilance in the royal city. Although her right to use is yours, her jurisdiction is still under the Silver Oath."

Rhode said with a smile: "As you said, how do I use her, you can't control it, right?"

The one-eyed dragon's face sank, but his tone was still respectful.

"Lord Rhodes, the Silver Oath is under the direct jurisdiction of the First Defense Chief, His Excellency Lin and Archbishop Horus. Your authority cannot exceed them. Please let her go. We will bring her back to the Silver Oath. She must be Her actions paid a heavy price."

Rhode said coldly: "I don't agree."

The one-eyed dragon took a step forward, his tone turning cold.

"Then I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes."

Rhode frowned and said, "One-Eyed Dragon~www.wuxiahere.com~ Your eyes are not good? Don't you know that Lord Dalin and Horus are my backers? When you came, you didn't see that this town had been emptied. Is it? The expedition and development have achieved great success, and I will soon become the upstart of the royal city, and I will definitely be among the highest ranks of Trorian in the future, think about the consequences of offending me.”

The one-eyed dragon was silent for a few seconds, but he was not stopped by Rhode's intimidation.

"I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes, the duty is."

Holding a trident, he strode forward.

Rhodes sneered: "I see how you take her away?"

Turn around to block in front of Mephis, and confront the one-eyed dragon.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and the white-robed man couldn't cross Rhodes to take Mephis away, and he didn't dare to attack him easily.

At this moment, Mephis came out from behind him and said softly, "Kaka, take me away."

The one-eyed dragon waved his hand: "Take it away!"

Rhode said anxiously, "Mephis, you..."

Mephis turned around and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm just going back to reorganize the curse, and I'll be back when the packaging is finished."

Kacha said a few times, and the white-robed man leaped over, dozens of silver halberds framed her neck, hands, and feet.

Rhode said angrily: "Let go, Cyclops, treat her well for me, and don't allow any punishment or abuse, or you won't be able to leave! I said it!"

The one-eyed dragon bowed and said, "As you wish, Lord Rhodes."

A wave of his hand: "Let go!"

The silver halberd was put down, and the one-eyed dragon said respectfully, "Lord Rhodes, please rest assured, we will not harm her maliciously."

Rhodes sighed in his heart and could only get out of the way.

"Let's go."

The one-eyed dragon breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately waved: "Go."

The crowd embraced Mephis, rose into the air, and quickly disappeared from sight.
