The Last Dark King

Coming to the alley next to the tavern, Rhodes opened the eyes of the soul to prevent being followed or eavesdropped.

Under the vision of the soul eye, the people with strong soul fluctuations are all far away, and there is only one closer. According to the route, it should be the patrolling academy guard.

He is not being watched.

This is also what Rhodes has been feeling strange about recently.

Since the sewer incident, he has never seen anyone watching.

Neither the Internal Affairs Bureau nor the Military War Department came to find him.

For a moment, he seemed to be an outsider, and those complicated things had nothing to do with him.

Rhodes didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but he had already made up his mind that as soon as the invasion was over, no matter if anyone came to him or not, he would go to the Internal Affairs Arbitration Office to find Lauren and his teacher Black Bear, and tell him everything he knew. information, using the excuse that "amnesia has been cured" to inform them.

If necessary, he can also provide his Holmes-level detective reasoning ability to catch the murderer as soon as possible and put this matter to rest.

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly." Zales said impatiently, "I have to go back to have breakfast with my sister, the animal trainer."

Rhodes took out the silver sign and said, "Zaza, are you sure this is authentic?"

Zales took it and looked over it several times:

"Hunter's license? What do you want to do? If you have time to go to Hongfang Street, why not find a way to get into Kashan's room. There are not many people who can match her in appearance, but her breasts are a bit smaller. You don't mind this, right?"

Rhodes frowned and said, "Answer my question, I'm very anxious now."

"Okay, let me tell you, this thing is almost impossible to counterfeit. All licenses are actually part of the Hunter's Holy Grail. If you imprint your spirit into it, you can sense the existence of the Holy Grail. Likewise, it can also sense yours. ”

"How to brand?"

"Just input the psychic energy into it. The psychic energy is controlled by your spirit. The license plate will record the characteristics of your spirit. This is the brand."

"Is it dangerous?"

"No."

Rhodes was silent for a moment and then asked: "How much does a hunter's license usually cost?"

"About 5,000, the academy has 8,000."

"But I didn't spend any money."

Rhodes explained the matter briefly.

Zales smiled after hearing this: "I guess the boss may have been targeted by the sheriff and was anxious to get rid of this thing. You are so lucky. Okay, I'm going to have breakfast."

Rhodes finally asked: "If I am discovered by the academy, will I be in danger?"

"Yes, Kashan will kill you, because you will deduct fifty points from the ten sets."

——

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Zales's words.

He held the long silver card and poured spiritual energy into it.

In an instant, an inexplicable feeling appeared. Rhodes seemed to have touched a huge beast. It was like a beast with its head above the sky and the ground, sleeping in the eternal darkness.

The hallucination quickly disappeared. Rhodes looked at the silver medal, and the words "Blade of Dawn" still appeared in the middle.

Is it done?

Rod decided to give it a try.

He put on the Goldworth Medal, inserted the Spirit Gun into his arms, took the Soul Essence, Soul Red Crystal, Crimson Powder, True Silver Bullets and Thunder Stone, and walked towards the east gate of the academy.

Along the way, you can see many one-year students performing patrol tasks in the academy. They are divided into departments and groups and are scattered throughout the academy. However, most of them only play a role in guarding, maintaining order and training. They are real guards. They are all scattered in the dark, and only Rhodes can find them.

The guard function of Dongdaemun is also replaced by patrolling students, but a department teacher will be assigned to prevent students from encountering situations that they cannot handle.

Rhodes came to the east gate and explained his purpose to the teacher on duty.

The teacher obviously knew him, but he still lit up the Jinworth badge before asking him to register with the college's defense office.

At the defense, Rod showed and lit up his hunter's license.

The defense captain looked at him deeply: "Are you sure you don't accept the supervision of the academy?"

"What will happen if you accept it?"

"I will send someone to follow you to make sure that the destination you go to is as legal as the one you registered and there is no danger. During dangerous periods, we will take you back to the academy in advance. You need to pay the fees of the person on duty separately."

"Is the royal city in danger now?"

"occasionally."

"Will doomsday cultists show up openly and attack us?"

The defense captain sneered: "Unless they want to commit suicide."

"Then I don't need it."

"But you are just a freshman."

Rhodes frowned and took out his special student's badge: "I am a special student."

The defense captain said nothing and silently applied for a pass for him, only registering the time he went out.

Walking out of the majestic Jinworth Gate alone, Rhode let out a long breath.

Finally taking another step forward.

The street outside the door is particularly spacious. On one side is the dazzling Jinworth College, and on the other side are many horseless carriages parked neatly. New carriages are constantly leaving or entering on the road, and people of all kinds Coming and going, very lively.

Rhodes watched for a moment and noticed that everyone would take out silver coins and stuff them into the box at the door before getting on the bus.

Self-service hearse?

Okay, I admit you are really advanced.

Rhodes walked to a hearse, took out a silver coin, and stuffed it into the long mouth on the box.

With a clicking sound, the gears and bearings rotated one by one, and the closed door opened with a pop.

Inside the carriage are standard two rows of seats with a low table in the middle.

The only difference is that there is a blue stone slab on the low table with an inverted round clock on it.

Rhodes took a look and saw that the longest needle had moved outward one space and was slowly resetting.

A quarter of an hour.

One silver cord and a quarter of an hour.

A bit expensive.

It takes ten thousand silver cords to sit for more than ninety days.

Rhodes put in another coin.

Click.

The round clock took a step outward and turned into two grids.

That should be enough.

After sitting on it, Rhodes discovered that there were many small bright dots on the blue slate, which said "King's Cross Station", "Iron Cross Station", "Firehammer Street Station" and so on.

This should be the station you can reach.

Rhodes thought of Lauren's horseless car, which should be the difference between a public car and a private car.

No, you also need to buy a car here?

Rhodes complained silently and moved his gaze to the top of the stone slab, where there were two lines of words written on it:

[Please drive safely, do not damage the hearse or items in the car, do not skip the ticket or cheat, and do not engage in uncivilized behavior in the car. This car is under surveillance. Any behavior that violates the king's laws will be severely punished! 】

The last four words are enlarged and highlighted in red, showing its powerful deterrence.

Damn... It is indeed the age of psychic electricity. It seems that this hearse has experienced many twists and turns from its birth to the present.

Human beings are indeed all the same.

After withdrawing his messy thoughts, Rhodes quickly found where he was going.

Iron Cross neighborhood.

This is where he previously performed patrol duties as a special cadet.

Rhodes had already thought about it.

If you don't let me go, I will go by myself.

The defense minister of the Iron Cross neighborhood was very impressed with him and would definitely not refuse a free worker.

He can join any team and just pick up holes as crazy as last time.

Rhodes would not go out on the streets to hunt monsters like a fool.

Not to mention the doomsday sect that had enmity with him, there were also enemies in the Internal Affairs Judgment Office who were watching him. It was very unsafe for him to wander the streets alone for a long time.

Teaming up is the best option.

Originally, Rhodes was planning to find passers-by to go with him to avoid accidents on the road, but the hearse looked so advanced that there was a high probability that it would not be attacked.

With his thoughts settled, Rhodes pressed the light spot representing the Iron Cross neighborhood.

boom!

The car body moved and his back hit the armrest.

There was a steady push on the back, and the hearse had already driven onto the avenue, speeding towards the Iron Cross neighborhood.

I don’t know why, but there are quite a lot of people in the Royal City today. The streets are full of hearses, including small four-wheeled carriages like his, and double-decker floating buses.

There are people on both sides of the road. They look well-dressed and well-behaved. Most of the men are wearing light-colored robes. White, yellow, and blue are the most common colors.

The ladies mainly wear long skirts, with beige, red and gold as the main colors. Some of them wear big hats and some have gauze. When they smile, they cover their lips slightly, looking very elegant.

Black seems to be a tabooed color here. No one uses this color except for a very small number of special people.

Rhodes looked at the scene outside the window, his mind running rapidly.

In his limited experience of going out of the city, the royal city was always deserted, with almost no one in sight.

Why are there so many people today? Is it some special day?

If so, would there still be countless monsters on the streets for him to hunt like that day?

Rhodes was slightly worried.

However, this is the inner city, maybe it is different in the outer city.

The hearse is very fast and quite flexible, moving quickly through the crowds of people and the hearse.

After a while, Rhodes came to the high wall of the inner city. The guards at the city gate were students from the academy, and one of them was Beowood whom he had seen at the banquet.

His bear-like body was very conspicuous. He was standing in the road, stopping all the hearses and checking their documents one by one.

When it was Rod's turn, he said hello and handed over his pass.

Baywood was stunned for a moment: "It's you." Then there was huge contempt in his eyes. He simply looked at his pass and threw it back.

"Dirty guy."

Get out of the way and the hearse quickly drove past with a confused Rhodes.

"Have I offended him?"

After thinking for a moment, Rhodes suddenly remembered what Zales and Annabeth said.

"Oh, I understand, maybe he thought I was going to that Red Square Street."

As soon as he heard the name, he knew that it was probably a place for fireworks and romance, and both of them thought that he wanted to go to that kind of place when he got his hunter's license.

hehe.

You underestimate me too much.

How could a place as vulgar as Hongfang Street compare to the nuns at the mission medical clinic?

Hey hey hey.

After laughing for a while, Rhodes thought of Aunt Uther again.

Well, I will go back and see her when I have time in the future.

If it weren't for Aunt Uther, he wouldn't have been able to get into Kingworth Academy, and he would probably have died in the first invasion.

For reasons and reasons, he should go back once.

Aunt User also said that she would help him treat his amnesia again, although it doesn't matter to Rhodes now, he should know everything.

However, this can also be his excuse.

He can claim that Mother Uther's treatment was successful, that he successfully restored his memory and handed over all the information he knew.

If the Internal Affairs Judgment Office finds out the truth and catches the murderer, maybe Aunt User will be rewarded.

Um.

good!

The idea is great.

As long as you survive the invasion, do it now.

Rhodes was in a slightly happier mood and no longer worried about his upcoming fate.

He looked out the window and after crossing the high wall to the outer city, the scene changed dramatically.

The light suddenly dimmed, the streets became narrow, the flow of people became crowded and noisy, cross-flowing sewage and debris could be seen everywhere, the houses on both sides became messy and old, and the speed of the hearse slowed down.

The shouts and shouts on the street filled my ears.

"The best phlogiston! The best phlogiston! One serving can keep your spiritual lamp burning for a whole week!"

"The clam meat just arrived from Qianhu Town! A piece of it costs one silver rope!"

“Fresh and hot mushroom soup! One bowl of it will make you feel refreshed all day long!”

"Sweet cranberry jam! Sweet cranberry jam!"

"New honey from the Flower City!"

Various mobile street vendors shouted loudly, and the air mixed with stench and fragrance rushed into his nose, making Rhodes feel the breath of life that he had not seen for a long time.

This is what the residents at the lowest level of the royal city look like. Most of their robes are simple and shabby, their faces are wrinkled, their skin is sallow, and their hands are covered with calluses. They care about what they can get in exchange for every piece of silver cord.

The hearse slowly but surely separated the flow of people and moved forward.

When it came to a circular square, Rhodes saw a harpist sitting on the fountain, playing melodious music.

Nor did the bells ringing in the nearby church overshadow his music.

A large group of half-grown children ran around him and danced unknown dances. Their clothes were ragged and their faces were covered with unknown dirt, but they could not hide their angelic and happy smiles.

Several women wearing thick rag-like clothes looked at them lovingly.

The hearse passed here and headed forward resolutely.

Suddenly, a little girl ran to the carriage window and held a bouquet of flowers high.

"Brother, do you want flowers? My mother planted daffodils. She said they are flowers of love. Big brother can give them to the one you love for just a silver cord."

"It's very fresh. I just picked it and there are still water drops on the petals!"

"Big brother, do you want it?"

Rhodes couldn't hold back and handed over a silver coin.

The little girl's surprised voice came from the car window: "Big brother, thank you, I'll give you the flowers!"

"No."

Rhodes looked through the car window and smiled at the skinny little girl.

"I'll give you the flowers."
