The Last Dark King

Darkness breeds outside the light, shadows drift and sway, and in some remote corners, the falling black fog can be clearly seen.

In such an environment, people always feel an inexplicable sense of fear and depression.

Maybe that's why they need to tell dirty jokes while patrolling.

However, although they looked very wretched, there was a hint of clarity in their eyes, and their tense muscles also showed that they were alert and at least half of their attention was on the surrounding environment.

"Rhode, do you think birth is a kind of harm?"

After talking about the crystal ball, they started talking about other topics, as familiar as old friends.

Rhodes was startled: "Isn't birth a blessing of fire?"

Raistlin smiled and said: "You sound a bit like a bishop. They like to attribute everything to fire and blessing."

Egger imitated a serious tone: "May the flame purify my thoughts, and may justice gather like moths because of your light. The source of the threat lies ahead. For the royal city and the holy fire, warriors! Charge!"

All three of them laughed, except Rhodes.

Raistlin patted Rhodes on the shoulder: "Let's not do ideological education now, let's just talk about our own feelings. Do you think being born is a kind of harm?"

"Isn't it?"

"If you weren't born without me, wouldn't you be able to see nothing?"

Raistlin smiled and said: "You have calculated that you have ignited your souls and become fire bearers, but what if you didn't ignite it? What if you were eliminated in the first round of the Trial of Fire?"

Everyone fell silent.

Raistlin continued:

"Then we have to go back to living in darkness? Living in the outer city, we can't afford a big spiritual lamp or good phlogiston. The dim light in the house is like a candle in the wind. I worry about phlogiston every night. When the magic lamp is not extinguished, you are worried about ghosts invading your home, or about being infected or cursed for no reason. Day after day, you work in a factory, or make small things with your crafts to sell. You can only go out on the streets on Sundays, but You are reluctant to buy everything in the market, and no girl likes you. You have been waiting until you are thirty. You don’t have a wife yet. Your neighbors have all moved uptown, live in big houses, and light big spiritual lanterns. Well, one family’s children lit up eighteen fires and became guardians, and you are still working in Xiacheng District.”

"At that time, would you feel that being born was a kind of harm? Would you resent your parents for giving birth to you without your consent?"

Everyone's faces darkened as they imagined such desperate days.

"Think about it, if it is such a miserable life, why did I have to be born? Why did I come to this world? Why do I have to live this meaningless life in fear? Why do my parents live in a house in the uptown area? If you don't have any, you dare to give birth to me? Others have strong souls and superb spiritual vision, but I am just an incombustible waste, a stone and wood core without spiritual vision. Why are you angry with me?"

Raistlin paused slightly and continued.

"Even if the fire of the soul is ignited, how good is it? When we walk out of the academy and the royal city, we will find that the outside world is so cruel. We will always have to face monsters much stronger than ourselves, and we will always have to worry about the black mist. Corrosion and infection, medical supplies and assistance are never enough. The light of fire is only enough to illuminate your feet. Looking up, there are layers of endless darkness. You fight day after day, fighting countless monsters. There is never an end in sight, and there is no hope. Your teammates die one by one, mutate, or go crazy, and you can't bear it anymore. Your spirit gradually mutates, and your soul gradually becomes numb. One day, you will also become The monster in the dark.”

"Do you think this kind of life is okay?"

There was a deathly silence in the team, as if even the breath had disappeared.

But Raistlin still kept his smile, but there was something strange in his tone.

"No, I don't think so."

"Being born is a blessing. Even though the world is so dark, there is still light. Even though I am so miserable, there is still room to dream. The world is so beautiful. There are always bright flowers blooming for me. If not, I will bloom for myself and celebrate. My birth.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment and even stopped walking.

Suddenly, Caramon howled: "Uuuuuuuuuah, you said it so well. I have never heard such powerful words. I don't care about Donna anymore. I want a new life!"

Egg praised: "With your level, why don't you consider changing your career? Maybe you can become a bishop."

Raistlin smiled and said: "Don't be like this, I can't stand the life of the church. I'm just telling you how I feel. You know, I was kicked out of the first round of the Trial of Fire for three consecutive years from the age of sixteen to nineteen. Twenty years old was the last year that I was able to pass. Before that, I was confused and confused, but I finally came out.”

"Perhaps there is really a blessing of fire. When I accepted all this, I passed."

Everyone applauded, and Egg whistled: "As expected of our power forward!"

Perhaps because this topic was not cheerful enough, it ended quickly and everyone started talking about some lighter topics, such as the top ten beauties in the royal city.

However, their standards are relatively low, and they all talk about being big, handsome, with long legs, and very vulgar.

Rhodes couldn't stand listening anymore, so he slightly changed Fengyue Baojian and told it as a joke.

Thanks to the hard study during this period and his superb language talent, he can already use Common Language relatively fluently. His word choice is so precise as a seasoned one, and his artistic conception is so full that everyone immediately fell in love with it.

When talking about the climax, Rhodes thoughtfully inserted a "next chapter decomposition" to deepen their bond and make it easier for him to continue hugging his thigh next time.

Caramon suddenly wailed: "There is no more down there? Are you a human being if you stop here?"

The other two people also stared at him, and Rhodes quickly explained: "I really can't make it up anymore, my inspiration is limited, my inspiration is limited."

Only then did everyone let him go, and Egg asked: "Then what should we talk about? The secret that the king and his lovers must tell?"

Rhodes was startled and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the internal affairs ruling when you talk about this?"

All three laughed.

"How is it possible? Wang himself said it was possible."

"It doesn't matter if the lover is a man."

"Why do you have such strange ideas? The King's New Law has been implemented for more than ten years."

Rhodes quickly explained: "I have lost my memory and can't remember many things."

Everyone was very surprised: "Have you really lost your memory?"

Rhodes nodded and briefly told the story, but did not mention the specific situation. He only said that he was attacked by a monster.

"So, I actually don't know anything. I'm really a newcomer."

Raistlin pondered: "Then why were you assigned to our place?"

Egg guessed: "Maybe it's complementary. The three of us have very low spiritual vision, and we just lack a scout."

"That makes sense!"

Rhode just didn't want to talk about those vulgar jokes anymore, so he hurriedly said: "You can tell me about the tactical position and what I should do, so as not to delay me from retreating later."

This suggestion was unanimously recognized by the three people. It is also one of human nature to be a teacher.

Raislin said: "Tactical position is a way of allocating personnel to maximize combat effectiveness under a specific combat mode. It is generally divided into front, middle and rear positions. In our team, I am the front position and the main defender. My responsibility is to be in the final position. Withstand the monster's impact from the front."

"Eger is in the central control position. His white smoke can lock monsters, restrict their movements, assist us in attacking or protect our retreat. This position is a test of IQ, but it's a pity that he doesn't have it."

Egger jumped up and slapped Raistlin's knee: "You fart! When did I not save you?"

Raistlin ignored him and continued: "Caramon is a back-position auxiliary. His main role is to heal us, adjust and replenish our spiritual energy. He is very fragile and needs our protection the most."

Caramon said angrily: "Where am I weak?"

"And you, Rhodes, the rear scout, your duty is to observe the entire scene, provide information about monsters, and provide early warning to protect us from monster attacks."

Raistlin turned around quickly and swept out with a lightning-like swipe, beating a large dog that seemed to be made of shadows to pieces.

"like this."

Egg and Caramon took their positions instantly.

"It seems we have work to do."
