The Last King of Darkness

The core of the guardian fire is fire, which is an irreplaceable, non-renewable, and non-manufacturable resource.

All extant fire in Trorian comes from ruins and ruins.

This one is no exception.

The fireman put the fire back into the golden Horcrux of the sacrificial ground, set up firewood, and built the fire and phlogiston. After the six-hour fire ceremony, this ray of fire of human life , The fire of hope of civilization ignited again in this ancient town.

Firelight enveloped Fanxing Town again, and it has been 1,500 years since the last time.

The black fog receded far away, and the ancient streets, houses, clock towers, and squares were all immersed in the brilliance of fire. People bathed in this hopeful moment and could not help but burst into tears.

The souls of the warriors sublimated at this moment, and they voluntarily joined the expedition army with a high casualty rate for such a dream scene.

Humans hold the torch high, dispel the darkness, kill monsters, and open up a new place to live.

This is the most magnificent romance of the Trorians who have inherited the will of fire.

Many fighters died without witnessing it, and they were lucky.

And such luck comes from their commander, the human nova appointed by Lord Theodore, the child of miracles.

Rhodes.

In the past two days, Rhodes has completely enjoyed the treatment of superheroes.

No matter what he wanted to do, there were a lot of people rushing up to ask for warmth, people were waiting outside to hand over papers when they went to the toilet, and there were even mountains of people wiping their butts.

Serving the commander has become something to show off, even if it's just drinking water for the commander, moving the chair, and putting on underwear, they can show off all day.

The people around him could only drool and listen to his boast.

Rhodes is not easy to talk about them, after all, as long as they help, they can gain a lot of humanity.

How can there be too much human nature?

Moreover, Fanxing Town had just taken over, and it was the time to stabilize the situation. When it was time to cultivate and recuperate, the soldiers didn't have to fight, and now it was the logistics staff and production staff who were busy.

Of course, taking care of Rhodes is still the top priority of everything, although he just needs to rest due to staring too much, but they don't think so, if they can't take care of their commander in an all-round way and without dead ends, their hearts will be will be very disturbed.

Therefore, although Rhodes is very happy these days, he is also very troubled.

Especially at night, when it's bedtime, the room is crowded with all kinds of girls.

Forget about girls, why do some men squeeze in too?

Rhodes is very depressed. His condition is not very good these days. Annabei's horseback is too hard, and the bumps are too harsh. He only wore a robe on the key day, and there are no protective measures, which causes him to have some eggs now. pain.

Sure enough, men's underwear is still very necessary.

But the main reason was the dream. He encountered some troubles and needed to deal with it in the dream at night.

So he told Molly, the excuse was that he was unwell and needed to rest.

Unexpectedly, Molly directly listed his room as a restricted area, and anyone entering the room needs to ask her for approval.

This time, there was no girl left, which disappointed Rhodes.

Now, the expedition team has moved the base from the dungeon to Fanxing Town, leaving only a few people in the dungeon as a subsidiary base.

The big cleanup of Starry Town has begun.

Three thousand logisticians work around the clock, day and night, to clean up the town and remove all pollution as quickly as possible.

Combatants also assisted them occasionally, mainly dealing with collapsing debris, collapsed pits and bursting streets.

It has to be said that, apart from the damage caused by the battle, the integrity of Fanxing Town is quite high, and many things are well preserved.

In many houses, the cleaners saw half-drawn curtains, opened quilts, dusty dining tables, and pots and pans full of black rot on the stovetop, as if the residents here had died suddenly in their lives.

Wang Cheng once learned about the destruction of Fanxing Town through limited clues. It is said that Fanxing Town was attacked by a dream demon, and everyone died in their sleep.

This was originally just an inference, but now has real credibility.

Mina, as the only researcher, has already filled her large room with items collected from the town, and she has sent letters to her teacher, Grand Scholar Amides and Wangcheng Society Headquarters, asking them to send more researchers and archaeologists.

History and archaeology are very important things.

But for Rhodes, the most important thing is that they found the true silver veins under Fanxing Town.

Its entrance is on the west side of Fanxing Town, and it is surrounded by miners-related buildings. Cleaners found a large number of townhouses, railroad tracks, minecarts, storage warehouses, ore processing fields, and more.

Many creations can be used with minimal maintenance.

After preliminary exploration, they found that this ore vein is much larger than expected, with various branches extending in all directions and numerous derived minerals.

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Fanxing Town is built on the ore veins.

According to the rules set at the Supreme Council, Wangcheng is not responsible for expedition affairs, but the profits from the expedition belong to Rhodes, which means that he is responsible for his own profits and losses.

Rhodes had already figured this out, that's why he dared to borrow so much money from the giant Mehara merchant.

After all, there is no such thing as running away in this world, and other human kingdoms have disappeared. Without Trorian, all human values ​​will disappear.

That's why the giant Mehara businessman dared to lend him so much money.

Also, because of this, Rhode asked Molly to hire 300,000 miners in advance.

Taking the town of Fanxing is a sure thing for him, and he wants to restore the production of this mine as quickly as possible.

Although the process has some twists and turns, the result is roughly the same, and there is no deviation.

There were twists and turns on Molly's side, however.

Hiring 300,000 miners is not a trivial matter, and it can only be done by entrusting the giant merchants of Mehara to help them.

However, the Mehara giants thought that they were fooling around in hiring 300,000 miners before Fanxing Town was occupied, and the miners' weekly wages alone could quickly eat up their loans.

The giants refused to provide services and asked commissioners to supervise all their actions to avoid losing their money.

Molly lost a lot of words for this, but it didn't work.

It was not until they ignited the fire of Fanxing Town that the attitude of the giant merchants took a 3600-degree turn in an instant.

As the best assistant in the military headquarters, Molly immediately put on the air, accusing the behavior of the giant Mehara businessmen of harming their interests.

According to her calculations, the 300,000 miners could produce as much as 10 million silver cables in one day, and the uncooperative behavior of the giant Maihara caused the miners to arrive two days late, so they should be compensated for the loss of 20 million silver cables.

Therefore, not only do they not have to repay the loans they borrowed from the giants of Mehara, the giants of Mehara should also find them more than 14 million silver cables.

The giant businessmen were devastated by this, all kinds of pleas to please, they almost knelt down and licked the feet of this aunt, and even sent a group of beautiful boys to really kneel and lick, but it was a pity that they were sent by Molly. Mined.

In the end, the giants of McHara still moved Molly with their sincerity, and exposed the matter with the terms of free recruitment, free shipping, and a free elite management team to assist them in their daily work.

In order to show sincerity, the leader of the giant merchants, Michaela, told Molly that recruiting miners was quite simple in itself.

The actual population of Wangcheng has already exceeded 50 million, and the slums in the outer city are crowded.

Many poor people are willing to do anything for a meager salary, and the underground flesh and blood mills have been repeatedly banned. They can even lower their weekly wages a little bit, and then increase the cost of accommodation and meals to further save expenses.

If done well, there may even be money to be made.

But this matter was ultimately rejected by Rhodes.

He had inquired about the Book of Knowledge, and it was obvious that this would affect the humanity and divinity he was about to attain.

What's the use of earning more money? Humanity and divinity are the resources he needs.

Moreover, being a big mine owner and killing those factory owners is also something he really wants to do.

Rhodes has always believed in the concept of a real man. What kind of skill is it to squeeze the poor, and it is the real man to squeeze the superior!

Not only that, he will squeeze monsters, squeeze the darkness, squeeze the void in the future.

The stronger the thing, the more he has to squeeze.

This is the real powerhouse, only wielding the knife to the powerhouse.

Only the weak will swing the knife at the weaker.

As a result, Rhodes set the conditions, not only to give the miners a "high" weekly salary of fifty silvers, but also to include food and shelter, and let the giant Mehara merchants do their best to promote this matter in the king's city.

This mind-numbing operation made Mehara wonder if the human supernova who had just performed a miracle was out of his mind.

Just as he was about to object, Rhode put forward another condition that they could not refuse.

Borrow another 50,000,000 silver cables, and return it after one year, at a 50% interest rate.

All the giants were thrilled.

The take-off of Fanxing Town is already a certainty. After the guardian fire is ignited, unless a major disaster occurs, there is no reason for it to fall.

And the son of miracle, Rhodes, with a battle group of 100 people, in less than two weeks, occupied the town of Fanxing, which was originally thought to take a year or more to occupy.

He can make a comeback under such adversity, and in such a superior situation, it is impossible to miss.

As long as Fanxing Town can function normally, the true silver veins beneath it are a steady stream of cash cows.

Not to mention 50 million silver cables, even 500 million silver cables, five billion silver cables are still affordable.

True silver is the most versatile spiritual material, whether it is bullets, crossbow arrows, equipment, weapons, or potions, utensils, rituals, and spells, all need true silver.

A typical example, the real silver sword is most often equipped in the city defense army.

This thing is simply synonymous with simple, efficient and violent. It is sharp, has extra lethality to monsters, and has excellent psychic conductivity. As long as a city defender holds a big sword, the combat level can be increased by half.

Therefore, this investment will definitely be profitable.

The Mehara merchants swam over like sharks smelling blood.

They think that Rhodes is a nerd who doesn't understand business, and they are eager to get more benefits from him. They even sent a group of beauties for this purpose, but unfortunately they were sent by Molly to sweep the streets as soon as they arrived in Fanxing Town.

Rhodes just pretended to be ignorant and negotiated terms with them.

In the end, Rhodes got a huge sum of 500 million silver cables from them, at the cost of 20% of the annual output of the true silver veins.

Although Molly was unwilling to object to any orders from Rhodes, she still couldn't help saying.

"Lord Rhodes, this is a very loss-making business. With the scale of the true silver veins in Fanxing Town, the output value of one day can reach 15 million silver cables, 515 days a year, and the total output value is as high as 7.5 billion, and what they want is 20%. The output, which is 1.5 billion, is still borne by us, which means that they have no risk and get three times the interest rate."

Rhode said with a smile: "Molly, it's not like this. Think about it, why did the elders give me the autonomy of Fanxing Town?"

Molly pushed on the golden glasses and answered meticulously: "Of course, it is for this reason to openly reduce the team configuration and reduce the assistance to us."

"Then we are now beyond their expectations and swollen their old faces. Do you think they will find a way to use various excuses to break the contract and take back my authority to dispose of the spoils?"

With that said, Molly came to her senses.

"Do you mean to tie the giant Mehara merchant to my chariot?"

Rhode said with a smile: "Yes, they can make such a lot of money~www.wuxiahere.com~ I think they will work hard to get better conditions for us."

Molly was silent for a few seconds, then said softly.

"You are right. The giant merchants of Maihara are a joint business group with a very complex and profound background. Even the elders also have a share in it, but why don't you mortgage the ownership of the real silver ore? This can be done. Achieving the same effect and saving a lot of money.”

Rhode shook his head and said seriously: "Molly, remember, don't use anything as a mortgage."

Molly, who has always been serious like a class teacher, now asks like a primary school student: "Why?"

"You imagine carefully, what are the conditions of the mortgage?"

"If the money cannot be repaid, its ownership will belong to the Mehara giant."

"Then what do you think they can do to maximize their benefits?"

Molly suddenly woke up: "They will do their best to interfere and destroy Fanxing Town, so that we can't produce normally, and eventually the debt expires, unable to repay the debt, and the ownership of the ore vein will be taken away."

"What if I trade 20% of my output?"

Molly replied immediately: "They will find ways to help us expand production for the greater good."

Rhodes showed an unfathomable smile: "Do you know how to do the next work?"

A cold light flashed in Molly's eyes, and there was a hint of chill in her serious tone.

"Understood, I will use this to let them spit out as much profit as possible."

Rhodes laughed super happy.

"Molly, do you understand now? Real hunters often appear as prey."

A strange light flashed in Molly's eyes.

At this moment, she was even more convinced that Rhodes would assist Wang in completing the torch plan, lead mankind to a brighter future, and become their savior.
