The Last King of Darkness

Suddenly, Amides waved his hand and said, "Everyone below the senior scholar goes out."

The scholars in the room bowed to their teacher and withdrew one after another, leaving only a few people.

Mina bit her red lips and resisted moving, but the teacher didn't chase her away.

She was overjoyed, thinking that maybe it was the privilege that Rhodes brought her, she moved quietly and stood behind him.

Amides looked at Rhodes with old eyes and said slowly.

"What I will tell you next is the top secret of Wangcheng. You are qualified to know it now, but you must never spread it."

Rhodes froze in his heart and replied in a deep voice, "I see."

"The City of Fire Kings other than Trorian does exist."

Amides said word by word.

"More than two hundred years ago, we communicated with humans other than Trorian, and tried to establish a long-term effective communication channel with them."

"But unfortunately, after a huge disaster, our contact with them was cut off, and no news of them was ever found, and this part of the historical data was burned in a strange crisis, leaving only one small portion."

There was a trace of uncertainty in Rhodes' heart.

"You mean, they..."

"There are two possibilities," said Amides in a deep voice.

"Number one, they're annihilated."

"Second, the disaster caused some kind of change that cut off our connection."

Armides paused.

"But the most suspicious thing about this matter is that we later caught a Doomsday believer and learned from his soul that the destruction of historical materials was done by the instructions of the great leader of his sect of the polluted."

"Unfortunately, we don't know their motives from his soul."

"There are many opinions about this matter, and it is generally believed that it is to prevent mankind from uniting and becoming stronger and sabotaging their plot to destroy mankind."

Rhode frowned and asked, "Have these maggots been cleaned up yet?"

Amides shook his head: "They all hid in the deeper layers of the sewers of the royal city. This is a product of the age of giants and is extremely complicated. Asa, the leader of the polluter sect, also holds the Book of Destiny, which can distort the tracking personnel. Recognition has brought great trouble to our pursuit."

The shadow behind the scenes that I met last time may be him.

Rhodes thought.

In the future, he must be dug up and the broken book will be handed over to the public.

Mina couldn't help but ask: "Why is this information top secret? Wouldn't it be nice to let everyone know that there are other Fire King cities?"

Amides shook his head slightly.

"We've looked for them in a number of ways."

"Our search team even went as far as 10,000 yards away to the depths of darkness, and even ventured to use 12th-level psionic power for wide-area communication, and for more than two hundred years, this attempt has not been interrupted, but no matter what We didn't get any response by any means."

"In fact, we know that their greatest possibility is that they will perish," said the great scholar Oberon.

"No one can resist contacting another human civilization. In this era, we are like lost children. The terror of loneliness in the vast dark night can drive anyone crazy, and the existence of another human civilization is not only a group to keep warm , but also brings courage and hope, proving that human beings can survive in this dark environment for a long time."

"Similarly, the destruction of a Fire King City will bring us great despair."

Amides said solemnly: "So, this news must not be spread outside."

Rhode and Mina nodded together: "I see."

The great scholar Derain smiled and said: "You don't have to despair, the isolation of information from the thick black fog is unimaginable, we are like a grain of sand sunk under this dark sea, and it is very possible to find another grain of sand. slim."

"But the world is so big, and the four continents are boundless. It is impossible that only one of our royal cities has survived. Maybe there are other human heroes who have preserved the fire and continued civilization."

"Yes." Amides agreed: "We are building a clock tower that can listen to the sound of the world. When it is completed, we will be able to hear the sound of the end of the darkness, and we will be able to discover other civilizations of fire."

Rhode's heart moved. He remembered that Molly had told him the same, and he couldn't help asking: "How long will it take to build the World Clock Tower, and what materials will be needed?"

"The progress of the World Clock Tower has reached 80%, and currently it is mainly lacking star marrow and star light fragments."

Rhode nodded and wrote down these two materials.

Amides said kindly: "Little Rhodes, you now know what an uncertain future we face, the disasters of the past may reappear at any time, and each of us is doing our best to find a way that will allow us to survive. , the search for truth is for this, I hope you can write your writings as soon as possible."

The great scholar Oberon said: "The whole of Trorian is hungry for more power, and every step we take to the truth, we may gain new power from it."

Rhode said with a smile: "You are right, knowledge is power."

This incisive adage drew a sustained round of applause.

The academics are simply admiring the young star.

I was worried that he was exaggerating, but now it seems that he is still not enough.

Several of them have secretly decided that they must find Horus, let him not be too conservative, and talk a little more.

Mina was both jealous and dissatisfied. Before she knew it, this little boy who had been very immature in her eyes had grown into a thick and strong tree, which made her drool with envy.

"Lord Amides."

Rhodes asked after thinking for a while.

"What exactly is the disaster you've been talking about? Is it the Kuroshio?"

Amides shook his head: "The Kuroshio is just one of the disasters."

Mina hurriedly replied: "Disaster is throughout the entire history of civilization. People can't avoid it. It's a misfortune that is extremely fearful but cannot escape."

"Standard answer."

Amides nodded slightly.

"In layman's terms, any continuous event that is unfavorable to human beings is collectively referred to as a disaster."

"There are many kinds of disasters, some from the sky, some from monsters, some from environmental changes, some from the invasion of black fog, and some from within, and so on."

"Like the worst day, do you know what it is?"

Mina quickly replied, "Long Night."

"Yes, when the long night comes, the sky is dark, the dark fog is thick, the monsters are active, the power of the fire is greatly reduced, and the scope of the holy fire will shrink to the upper city for dozens of days, and even for several months in rare cases. It's a disaster."

The great scholar Derain said: "The mass extinction four hundred years ago was a long night that lasted for nine months. Ninety percent of the entire Trorian population died in this disaster."

"So," Amides said, "we need to know what kind of catastrophe happened in the past to be able to avoid it in the future."

"The past we most urgently need to unravel at the moment, mainly," said University scholar Oberon.

"In the second era, the birth of the black mist and the first fire, and the fall of the ancient gods."

"In the third era, the survival of mankind in the initial period, and the demise of mankind in the heyday."

"In the Fourth Era, the truth about the mass extinction of Trorian nine hundred years ago, and other Fire King cities."

Amides smiled and said: "If you want, you can join us in our exploration of the past. Many of our schools are happy to have a character like you who coexists with strength and wisdom. You are also proficient in linguistics. This is very important in the exploration of

Rhodes patted his chest: "Of course, I'd love to."

The great scholars all smiled. The search for the ruins in the dark depths is a very dangerous and difficult job.

Because to go deep into the dark world, the number of people who travel each time is limited, and the more functions people have, the more popular they are.

And a versatile and all-rounder like Rhodes is simply the savior they dream of.

After discussing the details of the ruins exploration for a while, the talk came to an end.

Everyone said goodbye to Rhodes one by one, and repeatedly told him to complete the work as soon as possible.

Rhodes patted his chest and promised, saying goodbye in the eyes of everyone.

This trip to learn has refreshed Rhodes' worldview and made him truly understand that now they are in danger of life and death all the time.

Temporary victories are temporary and cannot change their fundamental situation.

No wonder some people die and expand outward.

And some people die to stick to the city gate.

Rhodes sighed in his heart, this is probably the reaction of different people in the same crisis.

In the following period, Rhodes visited Kingworth College and the secret branch one after another.

Since Theodore's death, the headmaster has been replaced by Vera.

This is also an old acquaintance. He is one of Theodore's many disciples. He still misses the teacher's departure, and expresses a great welcome to Rhodes' arrival.

But it is a pity that Theodore's soul has long since left, and his withered image is still standing in the eternal square of the dream, which has not changed so far.

Rhode couldn't stand his warm eyes, so he could only imitate Theodore's movements and touched his head.

Of course, because he was not tall enough, he only touched his chest.

But just this one action brought tears to Villa's eyes.

He cried and said that he was under a lot of pressure now, the talents of the magic spell association were withered, no one taught him, many of the younger generation could not find their way, and many powerful spells were not used.

The proportion of the holders of the magic spell in the royal city plummeted, and he didn't know what to do.

There was nothing Rhode could do, and he didn't know the spell, so he could only comfort him that part of Lord Theodore's remnant soul was still hidden in his body, and maybe one day he would come back.

Vera's eyes suddenly filled with hope, and those bright eyes were like a hungry dog ​​seeing fat.

Rhodes couldn't take it anymore and could only leave in a hurry.

And the visit to the hidden branch is full of joy.

There are many familiar companions in this nostalgic environment, as well as many, many newcomers.

He received a very warm welcome here, and everyone gathered around, wanting to get in touch with the legendary senior.

Rhode finally sent them away, and saw Sauron, who was still the chief instructor of the top class.

The guy had a serious look on his face, but kept stuffing things into his hands during the conversation.

They are all kinds of photo crystals with various logos attached to them.

Such as "learning materials", "selected ancient languages", "basic action teaching", "advanced combat skills" and so on.

"What is this?" Rhodes asked in confusion.

With a mysterious expression on his face, Sauron kept blinking at him, and stuffed another note in his hand, which read:

"Sauron's Choice, great stuff to watch in the dead of night."

Rhode understood in seconds, shook his head and said, "I have a noble character and never read these things."

Sauron whispered: "There is a new film by Your Excellency Olivia, and Theresa's home series."

Rhode silently stuffed the photo crystal into his arms: "I want to criticize this bad ethos in depth."

Sauron whispered: "Little Rhodes, if anyone asks you about your training in the hidden base in the future, you must pay more attention to my concern and guidance for you."

Rhode said with a smile: "Don't worry, Teacher Sauron, I can't achieve today's achievements without your care and teaching me."

These words caused every muscle on Sauron's face to stretch.

In the following period of time, the two talked very happily.

Sauron briefly told the current situation of the secret division. Everything in the base was running well, and the entire branch was on the right track. The only regret was that the battle in Fanxing Town ended too quickly, making their round battle plan unsuccessful. There were two groups of people.

Teresa, who had just broken through the seventh-level characteristics, didn't even have time to go, and Kashan, who was still training in the base, failed to realize her dream of fighting side by side with Rhodes, which made this little girl very disappointed for a time.

While they were talking, they happened to see Kashan, who has become the new team member's big sister, leading the training.

Rhode raised his hand to say hello.

When the blond hair turned around, a familiar and beautiful face appeared in front of him, and those big blue eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Cassan quickly covered her eyes and ran away.

When she came back, only red eyes remained.

"Rod."

She said with a smile, her blue eyes twinkling like reflections on the surface of a lake.

"Nice to see you again, congratulations on being Trorian's new hero."

Rhodes didn't say anything, stepped forward and gave her a big hug.

Cassan earned a bit: "Don't..."

"I'm sorry." Rhode said in a low voice, "I couldn't let you come to Fanxing Town and see my heroic fighting spirit."

There were tears in Kashan's eyes again, but she was smiling again.

"I know, but there's still a chance in the future."

She broke away from Rhode's embrace and shook her little fist.

"I'm strong."

Rhodes knew that she had lit a new fire after obtaining Theodore's relic.

"Power of Anger": The more angry, the greater the power.

"How strong is it?" Rhode asked curiously.

"The Tinder has reached its full state, and I have full control over it," Kashan said proudly.

"Is it strong?"

Sauron smiled and said, "Why don't you try it?"

As soon as Rhode raised his hand, a white star line flew out from his fingertips and quickly woven into a shield.

"If you can penetrate it, I will admit that you are very strong."

Sauron smiled and took off the star shield from Rhodes' hand, put it on the wooden man beside him, and said, "Kashan, Rhodes is getting married."

Kashan clenched her fists and began to charge.

Rhodes blinked and smiled: "The bride is not you."

Sauron hurriedly shouted: "Stop..."

But it was too late, and Kashan instantly burst into a large cloud of red blood, and hit the shield with a heavy punch.

boom!

A huge explosion.

The strong wind made Rhodes unable to open his eyes, and white dust fluttered in the sky.

Sauron covered his forehead: "Rod, what are you thinking about?"

The dust fell, and Rhode was surprised to find that half of the base was gone, and the Star Shield and the wooden man did not know where to go.

Sauron sighed: "The base has to be rebuilt again, and you will pay the fine."

Rhode agreed immediately, and looked at Kashan with shining eyes, as if he saw a baby.

Yes, this girl can also join my Black Warband.

In an instant, Rhode thought of countless ways to get sick to arouse her anger.

It's so easy to use~www.wuxiahere.com~ She's on my team and will definitely make the most of it.

Ha ha.

The destruction of the base has attracted many people, but their eyes are already commonplace, and it is obvious that this kind of thing has happened more than once.

In the crowd, Rhode saw another old acquaintance.

Valkyrie Teresa, shining golden.

This girl has helped him a lot, and her combat skills are very skilled. In Rhode's eyes, it was almost an invincible existence.

Of course, for the current Rhodes, the gap between the two sides in psionic energy is already quite large.

Rhodes went up to say hello in a friendly way.

Teresa was also very happy. For what Rhode surpassed her, there was not a trace of jealousy in her expression, only joy and smile.

"Yes, little Rhodes, you are here today, and you must save us in the future."

"Of course." Rhode replied confidently. He looked left and right and asked, "Where are Annabelle's sisters?"

He was talking about a circle in the top class that was full of stunning beauties. Their characteristics were "magic liberation", and they were the powerful sisters in Annabe's mouth.

Rhodes had some interactions with them, but not much.

Teresa smiled and said: "They have entered the reserve team of the Palace of Fire. For them, the hidden branch is just a short stay. They are born to be strong."

Rhode nodded, planning to meet them later.

See how strong they are, why Annabei is so envious, always talking about herself as a waste.

"I will also enter the Palace of Fire soon."

Teresa expressed her admiration from the bottom of her heart and was delighted with his growth.

After saying goodbye to them, Rhodes came to the last stop of the trip.

The most important prophecy institution in the royal city - the White Tower.
