The Last Dark King

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the other students being too mentally retarded. Since their birth, they have been exposed to the battles between fire bearers and monsters. Their pursuit has always been for stronger power, and knowledge is only to better assist in fighting.

Playing with numbers was clearly not part of their thinking.

Therefore, "The Art of Numbers and Combat Applications" is generally the class with the worst grades in the academy.

Although the problem of this crazy swimming pool manager is very simple in nature, it is impossible to figure it out without a twist of thinking.

The chief judge judged Rhodes based on the average level of the academy, which was naturally a huge mistake.

The selection ended quickly. Although the process was very short, Rhodes prepared for it for more than 20 days.

The real battle begins long before the smoke breaks out.

Victory is inevitable.

Rhodes deserves this first-class medal.

Later, in the college's auditorium, the chief dean Theodore and the three branch deans Vera, Bag and Byrne held a formal award ceremony.

Theodore is a very tall old man, but his silver-white beard still exceeds his height and has to be wrapped around his waist. Under the huge square-framed glasses, there is a pair of blue eyes, deep and full of wisdom.

Although he looks very old, he is still energetic and energetic, showing no signs of aging.

He took the medals from the staff. There were twelve medals in total, one for each of the three branches.

"Hearns of Appletown."

His voice was resonant, and when his name was announced, a medal was placed on his head.

"The Baywood of Barley Village."

"Ryan of Green Grass."

"Annabelle of Mushroom City."

"Lannister of the Wooden City."

…

"Annavista of Vengerberg."

"The Red Bee of Qianhu Town."

"Rhode of Red Rock Village."

"Congratulations!"

The three branch deans took the lead in applauding, and then the applause sounded like thunder in the entire auditorium.

Theodore turned around and flicked his hand, and the ribbons fell from the sky above the auditorium like a stream of light. Flowers and rain fell in the sky. In this beautiful and glorious scene, the eleven winners were blushing and excited. Their expressions made them feel as if they were about to die in the next moment.

Only Rhodes calmed down a little. He was really relieved to get this medal, but this was only the beginning, and the real challenge came later.

Amid the cheers, he keenly noticed that the Huayu ribbon disappeared after it hit the ground.

Maybe it's some strange ability.

After the ceremony, there were routine speeches.

Chief Dean Theodore stepped onto the podium and took a deep breath.

"eat!"

He shouted in a loud voice, and his two big hands drew wonderful traces in the air. The tables and chairs in the venue suddenly jumped crazily and quickly spliced ​​into dozens of long tables, with the chairs leading the students to sit on them. On both sides of the long table, countless hot meals fell from the sky, including knives, forks, chopsticks, spoons, pots and pans.

In an instant, the auditorium turned into a large restaurant.

Rhodes was stunned. He had been prepared to stand for two hours, but he didn't expect that he was ready to eat in the next moment.

Lively laughter filled the huge venue, which had become a sea of ​​joy. The veteran students seemed to be well prepared. While feasting, they laughed at the new students who were still sitting there.

The same goes for the big table on the podium.

Baywood, who was as burly as a bear, pushed Rhodes into a chair, stuffed a whole piece of bear paw into the dinner plate in front of him, and said in a rough voice: "Junior, eat more, You are too small."

Annabeth from Mushroom City giggled and pulled the other two award-winning school girls to sit down next to her.

"You're welcome, school girls. This is a feast that the old man treats us to. We only have one chance a month."

Annavista of Vengerberg is a tall girl with a cold complexion and her silver-white eyes always showing a touch of coldness. But when Annabeth placed a large piece of butter beef in front of her, she Eating too quickly ruins this temperament.

Hongfeng from Qianhu Town is a girl with red hair. She was a little surprised and asked warily: "Is this normal food?"

Rhodes also had this doubt in his mind, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

The other nine winners at the round table laughed.

Hines from Apple Town elegantly forked a piece of buttered apple, ran his other hand through his meticulous hair, and said seriously:

"Although I have to answer this question once a year, I still tell you sincerely that this is normal food. Mr. Theodore, the chief dean, is the best and greatest holder of the magic essence in the history of the royal city. Or, his magical abilities are unpredictable and can do countless things that you can imagine or cannot imagine."

Red Bee frowned and said, "That means it was changed by magic?"

Ryan from Green Grass Town stuffed his mouth full of candy pies and answered her vaguely: "To be precise, it is processed by magic, and the raw materials have been prepared in advance."

Hongfeng looked at the table full of steaming, delicious food, and then at the dozens of endless long tables in the auditorium with enough food for tens of thousands of people. He felt as if something was flying away from his soul. .

"This...why do we need a chef?"

Everyone at the round table laughed again.

Hines of Appletown pointed a silver cross at her: "You're committing a crime!"

Red Bee looked at him warily: "What did you say?"

"You asked the best and greatest holder of the Conjuration Nature to ever be a chef? Your soul is weeping for your stupid brain."

"What did you say!"

Red Bee jumped up, red light flashed in her eyes, and her eyes turned into strange vertical pupils.

But Annabelle on the side stopped her.

"Okay, schoolgirl, don't be angry with that idiot."

"You still don't know that the top fire bearers of Lao Immortal's level have too much psychic energy, so their recovery is very slow. Their power is strategic level and cannot be used easily. The Supreme Military War Department has already He was warned many times that he was not allowed to abuse his psychic powers, but the old man said that he would go crazy if he was not allowed to use it, so Dalin could only endure it. "

Ryan from Green Grass Town shrugged, and he didn't notice the brown sugar liquid dripping on his robe: "Anyway, it's only once a month, and there are also vacant months when Jinworth Star does not hold it, so it's within the tolerance range."

Rhodes gnawed on the bear's paw and listened to their conversation, feeling that the steel door of the new world opened a little more in front of him.

After everyone's persuasion, Red Bee finally sat down.

Once she let down her guard, she began to eat voraciously, stuffing a leg of lamb into her mouth with each hand, completely imageless.

Bear-like Baywood's eyes lit up and he praised: "Good girl!"

Among the people at the table, Rhodes, who thought he was a big eater, ate the least. The bear paw in front of him was bigger than his head. After eating half of it, he couldn't eat anymore.

"Don't waste it." Beowood said gruffly, and he didn't mind it. He reached out and picked up Rhodes' half-eaten bear paw, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it in two mouthfuls.

You should be the losers.

Rhodes complained silently, then suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice: "Senior, where does all this food come from?"

Beowood had already turned his attention to a large jar of honey barbecue, and replied casually: "The meat usually comes from Beast City, or Thousand Lakes Town, the vegetarian ones come from the Botanical Garden, Mushroom City, Wood City, Barley Village, Zero There are some scattered ones, I can’t remember them clearly.”

Rhodes asked in a low voice: "Can animals be raised and plants grown here?"

Baywood looked at him strangely: "Of course, as long as there is a holy white tree, we will sprinkle its seeds, plant its branches, purify the land, clean up the water source, and ignite the protective fire, creating a vibrant land. It was born, as long as we can guard against the erosion of the black mist and the invasion of monsters, a new human stronghold will be established soon."

Rhodes' eyes lit up: "Then why don't we go out and plant the flaming flag all over the world?"

Baywood frowned.

"Are you one of ours? Why do I feel like you popped out of another dimension?"

Rhodes was shocked and quickly explained: "I lost part of my memory, and many things are unclear."

Annavista, who had been eating gracefully, suddenly interrupted: "Amnesia is an important sign that the infected person will turn into a living corpse."

Everyone at the table laughed.

Rhodes also smiled, but this topic cannot be discussed in depth. He still doesn't know if he was infected by some unknown existence. When he was in the sacrificial hall, the Holy Grail felt hot to the touch, but he remembered this. Clearly.

Red Bee suddenly asked: "Why do you call the Headmaster an old man?"

Annabeth burst out laughing. She took a sip of black tea gracefully and said unhurriedly:

"Since twenty years ago, His Excellency Theodore has been shouting that his death is imminent. At first, everyone was very nervous. Even the urn was prepared for him. The Supreme Council specially planned a funeral for him, but this But the old guy became more and more energetic, jumping around everywhere. Year after year passed, and whenever there was a rumor that he was going to die, he would pop up. This happened year after year. Gradually, everyone stopped believing it and returned it to him. He was given the nickname "Old Immortal."

Hines of Apple Town raised his silver fork and said seriously: "It's rude of you to do this. Your Excellency Theodore is the greatest holder of the magic essence. He has dealt with nine major threats alone. We killed Pihir, the great demon wolf on the northern border. The remains of the great demon wolf are still suppressed under the Silver Oath in the royal city, and half of our hot water is boiled by it."

Rhodes was startled: "Can monsters heat hot water?"

Ryan from Qingcao Town explained: "The soul characteristic of the great demon wolf Pihir is magma. Its remains are always emitting huge heat like magma. We just collect this waste heat and use it."

Rhodes felt a little uncomfortable, and so did Red Bee and Annavista.

"Won't this pollute the water quality?" they asked together.

"of course not."

Hines replied slightly proudly:

"Its sealing circle was built by His Excellency Theodore himself. We never thought of letting it heat hot water at first, but pure heat is difficult to isolate and the cost is too high. It was also proposed by His Excellency Theodore. Thanks to his excellent suggestions, we turned consumption into output, and now we have so much hot water for use.”

Annabeth from Mushroom City nodded seriously: "Your Excellency Theodore is indeed the greatest holder of the magic spell."

"That's right."

Hines stroked his meticulously styled hair.

"And I will be the second greatest."

Rhodes asked in a low voice: "What is the magic quality?"

Snapped!

At least three people at the round table covered their faces at the same time.

brush.

The shiny silver fork pointed directly at Rod's nose.

Hines's whole body was on fire and he said loudly: "Okay! Since you asked sincerely, now, the best man in the entire academy will explain to you the most powerful soul characteristic in history - the spell. What is the effect of nature?”

So, for a long time, it was Hines who went on and on about how powerful this rare soul characteristic was.

His words were full of difficult nouns and extensive boasting. After listening for a long time, Rhodes only roughly knew that people with such soul characteristics could use the power called spells.

Due to its great power and versatile functions, it is considered by researchers to be one of the seven strongest soul properties.

Of course, according to Hines, it is the strongest, bar none.

After finally waiting for him to finish playing, Rhodes asked: "What are the other six?"

Hines forked a piece of pan-fried steak: "This steak is grilled really well."

Annabeth explained with a smile: "Eternal burning fire, the power of the sun, the control of thunder and lightning, the fire of chaos, the essence of divine magic, and the awakening of magic power."

It sounded so strong... Rhodes felt like he had seen the world.

Red Bee asked: "Does Tinder have such a saying?"

She is a spark, only soul fire, no soul attributes.

Annabeth shook her head slightly.

"Generally speaking, the current mainstream view is that soul fire is a fragment of the soul's characteristics. Infinitely many fires are only infinitely close to complete characteristics, but they can never become real characteristics."

Red Bee said unconvinced: "But the strongest one is Lord Alan!"

Annabeth smiled and said:

"Of course, the appearance of Master Alan has given this statement a challenge, but he is just an example. Under general circumstances, spiritual fire under the same conditions is almost always stronger than Star Fire. Combatants in the spiritual fire sequence are more stable and practice faster. The spark sequence is much more difficult. They are mainly limited by the number of fires. It is too difficult to light a new fire. "

Lannister from the Wooden City nodded and said seriously: "So, don't complain about the deflection of college resources. This is a very real problem. Our king is already very kind, but beneath the kindness, there must also be coldness. Considering the same material consumption, we will of course tend to create stronger ones.”

Seeing that Hong Bee's face was a little gloomy, Baywood stretched out his big hand and patted her shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged. The power of Starfire pays more attention to its own quality. Hone your combat skills and strengthen your psychic energy use technology. You will definitely become an excellent combatant. Lord Alan is like this. He only ignited a kind of fire. Under the conditions, he has completed the gold trial. Among the eleven special combatants, he is the only one who can fight frequently."

He raised a glass of butter sparkling wine and said loudly: "To our undefeated God of War!"

The eleven people at the round table all raised their glasses and said in unison:

"To our undefeated God of War!"

Rhodes followed suit and drank up the mushroom wine in his hand. It was sweet and had a strange mushroom smell, which was very strange.

The banquet continued, and the chatting and laughter continued. At the round table, Red Bee obviously had a crush on Beowood, and even his appetite became smaller.

Rhodes quietly moved to the left of Baywood, bringing him closer to the Red Bee.

Red Bee's Gratitude +11

Humanity +1

Yes, this girl really has a conscience.

Rhodes squeezed next to Annavista, who gave him a cold look.

"No date."

Rhodes smiled awkwardly: "I'll just eat something."

Annavista scooped up all the nearby food gracefully, quickly, and like light, and protected it under her arms.

"this is mine."

Rhodes was very embarrassed and could only say: "I'll just sit down, sit down."

Annavista stared at him like a cat guarding its food, while eating frantically at ten times the speed.

Rhodes had no intention of grabbing food. He asked cautiously: "After receiving the medal, can we enter and leave the academy freely?"

Annavista nodded warily, inserted a piece of steak gracefully, and finished it in small bites very ladylike - if not fast-forwarded many times.

Rhodes asked: "Can I go to any place at any time? For example, to the Iron Cross neighborhood at night?"

Annavista shook her head—her little mouth was bulging, speechless.
