The Last Dark King

Latest website: In the quiet dream, the light mist flows silently.

It was a little different from the past. Directly in front of the obelisk and in the corner of the hut, various materials had been piled up into a small mountain.

In addition to a large amount of canned food, there are also a variety of pharmaceuticals, bullets, phlogiston, materials, and emergency items.

This ability to survive in the wild is absolutely superior to that of Mr. Bei, who only eats beef.

After Rhodes sorted it out for a while, he came to the obelisk. The word "invasion" still didn't appear, and the surface of the obelisk was empty.

But Rhodes didn't feel at ease. Instead, he felt a sense of emptiness that he couldn't find a place to live in.

When he came to the front, the three stars were still shining, and the light of [Justice Execution] seemed a little dim under the other two stars that had reached their full state.

There is no way, without [Soul Firewood], the stars will have no core, and the consumption of adding fire will be very high, and the efficiency is very low.

Among all the materials for making [Soul Firewood], the most important thing is a complete and powerful soul.

Without it, 50,000 soulless souls and 100 spiritual souls are needed to replace it.

This is a hard number to accept, and it is also Rhodes' main purpose here.

There is no such opportunity in the royal city. Looking back now, the last action was really lucky.

Hopefully it works this time.

Rhodes sighed in his heart. If he didn't have this luck, he would have to hunt monsters in the sewers for a long time.

After a quick glance, the numbers in the upper right corner of the obelisk showed that he only had 14,622 souls and 62 spirits.

The distance is far different from the number that can be replaced.

I really don’t want to become the king of sewers, and then I won’t be able to find any girls.

well.

Rhodes put away his distracting thoughts, returned to the stone platform, lit candles, placed four wooden puppets and forty living spirits on the platform, and made four wooden puppets.

This is a monster sculpture made of countless dead branches intertwined together. It is only the size of a thumb. As long as you inject psychic energy, you can summon a wooden puppet to fight for you.

Rhodes doesn't know exactly how strong this puppet is, but it shouldn't be too weak.

Now, Rhodes has four wooden puppets, eight "brain-eater soul ashes", plus Theodore's phantom, so he should not be afraid of ordinary dangers.

Rhodes opened the storage room under the stone platform, which also contained two sun stones, 34 pieces of living spirituality, 90 grams of star ruby ​​powder, 100 soul red crystals, a green herbal medicine, a holy white tree fruit, two A Guardian of Darkness, and some miscellaneous items.

Time inside the storage room almost stood still, and the space was larger than it appeared from the outside. Rhodes put almost all spiritual materials and items inside.

It had gone from being empty at the beginning to being full of beautiful things now, and Rhodes smiled a little unconsciously.

After closing the storage room, Rhodes took the book of knowledge from the bookshelf and asked for the hundredth time: "Everything you know about dreams."

The book of knowledge started to flip through, and every white page was instantly filled with words. It didn't stop until the entire book was flipped through.

Rhodes skillfully turned to page 23 and continued studying.

The text in the dream is the most complicated text Rhodes has ever seen. It is not only cuneiform, but also has phonemes, syllables, notes and morphemes. Every stroke has various functions. A difference in punctuation marks can change the entire word. meaning will change.

In particular, they have very complex grammatical linkages.

There is nothing more painful than reading this thing.

However, the knowledge of dreams is related to his life and death, and this page is about the knowledge of invasion.

No matter what, it must be cracked.

Rhodes pressed the book of knowledge with one hand, and the "Ancient Tongue" and "The Evolution of Language" that he tore into pieces and then brought into the dreamland and glued together with the other hand, studying the meaning, connotation, unexpected meaning, original meaning and derivation of each word. meaning.

"...When the garbage is excreted, the stars shine...Grass, what the hell is this?"

Rhodes spread his hands and fell to the ground. He felt that his mind was in a mess. Even the dog couldn't stand learning this thing for more than an hour.

With a bang, the book of knowledge closed on its own. It couldn't bear to open it for so long.

At this moment, there was a sudden tightening under the body, followed by a strong feeling of falling, and everything in front of him became blurry.

Someone is with me! Rhodes understood instantly, closed his eyes and concentrated.

A second later, when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was Mina's delicate and beautiful face.

"How did you come?"

Rhodes was surprised, quickly withdrew his gesture, sat up, but fell into the soft cotton.

Mina screamed, pushed Rhodes away, turned over and got off his bed, her pretty face turned red, and scolded: "Did you do this on purpose? Do you want to take advantage of me? You've been pretending to sleep for a long time. You'll wake up when I get up."

Rhodes calmed down, carefully unbuttoned the sleeves, and stood up with both hands. He saw Mina wearing a green long trousers, a wide belt around her waist, and a big bag hanging on her back. The way he was dressed, he didn't look like he was coming for a night attack.

He asked slightly disappointedly: "What's the matter?"

Mina opened her eyes wide and said angrily: "What's the matter? There's an urgent mission! We're leaving soon!"

Rhodes immediately became energetic, jumped up like a carp, and said happily: "Really? That's great! Let's go quickly!"

Instead, Mina was stunned. In a moment, Rhodes had passed by her and rushed out of the room.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go!"

Suddenly, Mina showed a beautiful smile. She took two steps forward, took Rhode's arm generously, and said angrily: "Rhode, you are too sleepy. I thought you didn't want to participate in the mission. Deliberately avoiding it.”

Rhodes felt the gentle touch on his arm and said with a smile: "How is it possible? Hunting monsters is our bounden duty, and guarding the Holy Fire of the Royal City is our mission. I can't wait to kill all these harmful things in the darkness, so that The light of fire illuminates every corner of the earth, allowing our compatriots to freely bathe in the light and no longer need to be threatened by death and suffering."

"I'm just afraid that if I'm not allowed to go out and kept locked in the greenhouse, I will suffocate to death."

Mina's body was obviously trembling slightly. She looked at Rhodes and asked in a softer tone than ever before: "Really? Is this really your ideal?"

"Of course it's true. Haven't you seen that I would rather sleep in the sewers than hunt monsters? But Lauren is an ungrateful guy. I helped him get a lot of credit, but he locked me up in the academy and refused to let me After I came out, I went to him to ask for a few tasks and wanted to participate in a few operations, but he didn't allow it. He insisted that I need to rest. Frequent fighting will affect my physical and mental health. I said yes, then you send two girls to accompany me. He He actually got angry, saying that having Kashan is not enough, big brother, Kashan can be my brother..."

Rhodes couldn't help complaining. He was really depressed during this period. [Justice Execution] was eating away at his humanity every day, and the invasion was still pending. To be honest, Rhodes was quite anxious deep down.

After finally hearing that they were going to hunt some ancient dragon, he volunteered to join, but was severely criticized by Lauren and even filed a complaint with the chief dean, causing him to be unable to leave the academy for several days. .

Therefore, I have accumulated a lot of resentment towards Lauren during this period. I feel that he is a bit ungrateful. He has done so much for him. Fifty sun stones have turned into ten. Not to mention, let me go and fish for the soul of an ancient dragon. Not allowed.

But he didn't notice that Mina's eyes were shining more and more when she looked at him.

Soon, they came from the room sunk into the ground to the broad main hall of the castle. Rhodes glanced around and saw that there were already many people standing in the main hall, including branch dean Vera and black-robed Khalil. There were people coming up from underground one after another.

The light in the hall is relatively dim, deliberately simulating the dim light at night.

Vera snapped her fingers, and the huge pattern in the sky quickly brightened, and the main hall soon became as bright as day.

He looked around, waited for everyone to arrive, and said loudly:

"Students, I'm sorry to wake you up late at night, but you will know in the future that this is just the most common sight in combat."

Black-robed Kalil sneered: "Dean Vera, I think it's better to stop talking nonsense. The combatants only need to focus on combat-related matters."

Vera glanced at Khalil's pale and narrow face and said lightly: "Okay, you are already official combatants."

His voice changed, becoming cold and hard.

"Notified by the War Department of the General Army that the Black Tide has arrived one day early, and the defense pressure in various places has increased sharply. The Jianguan in the seventh defense zone has been attacked by many evil spirits, and the psychic energy generator has been damaged. We have specially ordered Jinworth's secret branch force to form A reinforcement team is on the way immediately.”

After the words fell, there was a slight commotion in the crowd.

A student shouted: "But, Mr. Dean, we have just done the test and haven't started training yet."

Vera's steely gaze was instantly focused on his face: "Your Excellency Kalil said that monsters will not cooperate with us. If you want to be fully prepared before taking action, then you will never be able to take action."

Kalil let out that hissing laugh again: "Dean Vera is right, I will not wait for you to complete the training before going out to perform tasks. Orders are everything. In Kalil's secret army, ask this Those who have such problems will be severely punished by me. Jinworth is still too gentle."

Vera's expression remained unchanged and continued: "The mission involves evil spirits and requires more than two excellent scouts with high spiritual vision. Rhodes from Red Rock Village and Annabeth from Mushroom City, do you have any questions?"

They both answered in unison: "No."

Annabeth glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Little brother, I really didn't expect that we would be on a mission together so soon."

Vera continued: "The mission requires repairing the psychic generator, and a researcher is required to accompany it. Mina from Clody, do you have any questions?"

Mina said loudly; "No."

She hugged Rhode's arm tightly and glanced at Annabeth not far away, who seemed indifferent.

Next, Vera arranged ten more main combat members, among which the trio of Beowood and Raistlin were known to Rhodes.

Finally, Vera said: "The matter is quite special, I decided to send two instructors and a teacher to accompany..."

Kalil suddenly interrupted: "Dean Vera, this is not in line with the convention. This is a type three mission and a relatively large threat. This kind of combat preparation is enough."

Vera said coldly: "This is the first mission of the secret branch. There are vacancies in the base. I think additional personnel can be dispatched to ensure safety."

The two people's cold gazes met in the air, and neither of them stepped back.

After looking at each other for a moment, Kalil turned his head and hissed with a smile: "Okay, but you can't be like this forever. Our combat equipment will always be lacking. They have to get used to fighting in more difficult environments."

Vera nodded slightly: "Sir Khalil, you are right, I will keep it in mind."

He turned his head, his steel-cold gaze reflecting a strange brilliance in the bright light.

"Jinworth's secret branch force, its first action, set off."
