Chapter 444 The Truth
The next day, when Lin Ze came out of his residence to go to the cafeteria, he found that many guardians along the way were secretly looking at him and whispering, casting curious and shocked eyes.

"It seems that what happened yesterday has spread."

Lin Ze thought to himself, turning a blind eye to the sight around him, and walked towards the cafeteria with a natural expression.

After ordering, he just sat down on the seat when he heard footsteps, and when he looked up, it was Yao Guang.

"Can I sit here?"

Lin Ze made a casual gesture.

Yao Guang smiled, sat down and said: "The news that our team directly under the guardian team killed the disaster beast alone has spread, and now the whole White Palace is discussing our team, especially you, a great hero, whose reputation has already been lost. Spread the word throughout the White Palace."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said joyfully, "The captain meeting was held in the palace yesterday, and it should be to discuss this matter. Our rewards will probably come down in a short time. With your credit, at least you can be promoted to the vice-chairman. Team level, maybe it can.”

Yao Guang didn't continue the second half of the sentence, but Lin Ze understood what he meant. The White House had been thinking about forming a new guardian team for a long time, but it hadn't found a suitable captain, but now it's different.

While speaking, Lin Ze suddenly felt the nameplate in his pocket shake slightly, and his heart moved suddenly. He took it out and saw that it was indeed a message from Luo, asking him to gather at the gate of the palace.

"It's the captain's message." Yao Guang asked with a smile, "It seems that the award has been decided, so let me congratulate you in advance."

"Thank you." Lin Ze nodded, got up without hesitation and walked outside. After looking around, he strode towards the towering pure white palace in the distance.

Since entering this dungeon, he has never been to the central palace of the White Palace, and he has not even gotten close to it. After all, it is a place that only the captain of the guardian can enter.

It didn't take long for Lin Ze to arrive at the square in front of the palace. From a distance, he saw Luo Na's handsome figure standing in front of the palace gate, behind him were two burly gate guards in thick silver and white armor.

"Captain." Lin Ze greeted.

"Let's go in and talk about it." Luo Yan said concisely, slightly nodded at Lin Ze, and took the lead to walk towards the gate.

Lin Ze quickly followed.

The two passed through the gate of the palace, passed through the spacious white corridor and the central square, along the way Lin Ze saw many armored guards in full armor, without exception, standing motionless like statues in every corner, exuding a solemn and dignified look. breath.

"They are pure white guards, puppet lives created by the king, responsible for guarding the safety of this palace, and each has the strength of the deputy team level."

As if sensing Lin Ze's gaze, Luo, who was walking side by side with him, suddenly explained.

Vice team level?That is to say, the mid-to-high level of the hero level.

Lin Ze was a little startled. He saw no less than a hundred pure white guards along the way. If so many hero-level combat powers were used to deal with the dark descendants, the effect would probably be no less than that of any guardian team.

"Could it be that there are some restrictions? For example, you can't leave the palace?"

Lin Ze felt that it was very possible, so he came back to his senses and continued to observe the surroundings, and at the same time asked casually, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the central hall and meet the king."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Ze couldn't help but change his expression.

After so many days in the dungeon, is it finally time to meet the biggest boss in the world?

While thinking about it, the two of them had already arrived in front of a huge heavy white door. At the door stood a huge armored guard that was much bigger than the pure white guards they had seen before. The two golden lights under its mask swept towards Luo. He and Lin Ze stared at each other for a while, then slowly got up, stretched out their hands to press on the door, and rumbled to push the heavy giant door open a gap that could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

"Let's go in."

Luo Dang walked in first, Lin Ze glanced at the giant pure white guard, and followed into the door.

Boom!

As the two walked in, the giant door behind them closed again.

Lin Ze looked around, and behind the door was an extremely spacious and bright hall, almost the size of two football fields, still pure white throughout, full of three-dimensionality, and in front of the surrounding walls stood huge stone pillars that were as thick as several people could hug. Surrounding the entire palace hall, the layout of the entire hall is simple yet magnificent.

In the center of the hall, there were already two figures standing, but they were the other two captains, Ming Ke and Yue Hu.

Seeing Lin Ze and Luo coming in, Ming Ke nodded at them and said nothing, while Yue Hu smiled and said, "You guys are here, I've been waiting for a long time."

After all, she didn't rush forward to hug Luo as usual, but seemed a little restrained.

Lin Ze quickly understood the reason. Looking up, on a high platform in the deepest part of the hall, a towering and majestic figure was sitting on the throne, watching them quietly.

The person on the throne was wearing a white robe with a mask on his face. Although he was motionless, his whole body exuded a sense of majesty that could not be ignored. Just looking at it, Lin Ze felt a strong sense of oppression. Come on, the whole person can't help but stagnate.

What is even more surprising is that there is a small and exquisite white dragon about [-] centimeters high lying beside the throne.

The reason why he was sure that it was a dragon was because Lin Ze felt the power of the dragon from the opponent, otherwise he would never have thought that such a creature the size of a basketball would be a dragon.

That dragon is like a white dragon that has shrunk countless times, sitting motionless on the ground with its eyes closed. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of its chest and the faint dragon power emanating from its body, Lin Ze would have killed it as a statue.

At this moment, Luo suddenly took a step forward, knelt down on one knee in front of the high platform, lowered his head, and remained motionless in this position.

Lin Ze turned his head to look at Yuehu, who shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice: "It's okay, Wang doesn't like too many vulgar etiquettes, and never asks us to salute, but Luo insists on doing so every time we meet. , you can do whatever you want."

Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but raised his brows, turned his head and carefully looked at the king on the throne, and after a while, a flash of doubt appeared on his face.

I always feel that this king seems a bit weird.

They have all come in for more than half a minute, but the other party has not reacted at all, and even their movements have not changed. Could it be that they are asleep?
Kneeling on one knee for a while, Luo Cai stood up, turned to Ming Ke and Yue Hu, and said calmly, "I've brought Lin Ze here, let's start now."

Mingke and Yuehu nodded, and the latter looked at Lin Ze and said with a smile: "I was shocked when I first heard that a team killed a disaster beast. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. In this way, The White Palace can also re-form the fourth team of guardians."

Lin Ze's heart moved, and Luo continued to say: "After the three of us discussed and decided, from now on, you will be appointed as the captain of the fourth team of guardians, and we will assist you in forming a team of guardians in the future."

"Would you like to take this position?"

"Of course." Lin Ze replied without hesitation. In order to eliminate the disaster beast and clear the dungeon, the first thing to do is to become the captain. Isn't this why he has worked so hard to earn merits this month?
It's just that he didn't expect to kill a Calamity Beast by accident, but it made him achieve his goal of becoming the captain of the guardian ahead of schedule, which was a surprise.

Being able to become the captain, of course he would not refuse.

Hearing this, Yuehu clapped his hands happily: "Now we have another companion. From now on, we finally don't have to passively guard, and can take the initiative to attack and kill the disaster beasts."

Luo nodded. Although she couldn't see her expression clearly with the mask on, she could feel that she was also quite happy.

"But before that, I want to know some information about Wang." Lin Ze said suddenly.

Luo seemed not surprised by Lin Ze's request. Hearing this, he nodded lightly and said, "Well, that's right. Since you are already the captain, you have the right to know all this."

After saying this, Luo pondered for a moment, as if organizing his words, and then slowly said: "How much do you know about the coming of darkness?"

Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while and replied: "About hundreds of years ago, the white sky suddenly split open, and disaster beasts appeared from the gap, bringing countless dark descendants, and started a war on this land. The white world began to be eroded by darkness, seven satellite cities fell one after another, and the guardian team suffered heavy losses, with only three remaining... roughly like this."

These are all Lin Ze heard from Zhou. He originally thought it was the background of this dungeon world, but now listening to Luo's meaning, it seems that it is not the case.

"It's generally true, but part of it is not true." Luo said slowly, "First of all, the Calamity Beast did not come from outside the sky, but was born in our world, or in other words, it was created by our world. Transformed from the creatures of the world."

Doubt flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, but he did not interrupt Luo's narration, but continued to listen attentively.

"In fact, this world is indeed suffering from the erosion of darkness. They come from outside the sky, eroding the land, the sky, and the city all the time. Occasionally, a small number of darkness will materialize and form beasts to attack humans. The first Darkborn."

"Only the king can purify the darkness in the whole world. At the beginning, the erosion of darkness was not serious, and the strength of the dark descendants produced was not strong. They were no match for the guardians at all. However, as time passed, more and more darkness invaded. As for the king, he was gradually unable to purify everything, in order to prevent the world from being corrupted, the king had no choice but to let his guardian beast absorb the excess darkness."

Hearing this, Lin Ze suddenly changed his expression, and turned his head suddenly to look at the small white dragon next to the throne.

Noticing his movements, Luo nodded and said, "That's right, that's one of the king's guardian beasts."

"The king has a total of seven guardian beasts. Except for the pure white dragon who is guarding now, the other six became disaster beasts because they absorbed too much darkness."

The rare smile disappeared on Yuehuqiao's face, and she sighed softly: "There is no way to do this, the guardian beasts themselves do not have the ability to purify the darkness, but in order to protect this world, they have to continue to absorb the darkness, If the degree of darkness erosion didn't get worse after that, they wouldn't be distorted and degenerated into disaster beasts."

The three captains were silent for a while, and Luo continued after a while: "After that, the Calamity Beast, which was degenerated from the Guardian Beast, destroyed seven satellite cities. In order to stop them, the king led us Guardians and the Calamity Beast. Two of the first plague beasts died, and the remaining four were also seriously injured, so they had to hide in the satellite city, while absorbing the darkness to restore their strength, while creating new dark descendants to expand their territory."

"After this battle, the Guardians also suffered heavy losses. There were only three teams left, and the king was seriously injured. He fell into a deep sleep not long after returning to the palace. Although the current king can still support the operation of the Aries Palace, Create new guardians, but our prayers are no longer heard."

"In order to avoid causing panic, only the captains know these things, and the rest of the guardians don't know the truth."

"Then how can the king wake up?" Lin Ze asked.

"Now all the darkness has been absorbed by the disaster beasts. In fact, the king has not been eroded anymore. The reason why he is still asleep is to recover from the previous injuries. Once he recovers, he will wake up. We just need to wait Can."

Lin Ze was stunned, and then frowned and asked: "In this case, if we wipe out all the beasts, wouldn't the erosion of darkness be transferred to the king?"

"You're right." Luo nodded slightly, "So we decided to keep a Calamity Beast, let it occupy the satellite city, and help us absorb the darkness, as long as it regularly consumes its power and cleans up the Darkborn, and prevents it from growing. However, in this way, the previous situation can also be prevented from happening again, and this is the only way we can think of to solve the erosion of darkness."

"Indeed." Lin Ze nodded lightly while pondering.

If all the beasts are destroyed, it will only lead to another disaster, but leaving one beast is different. Although doing so will inevitably lead to an endless war, as long as it is done well, the war can be controlled to a minimum. within a certain range.

What's more, the continuous low-intensity war is also a good thing for the White Palace. It can maintain the combat power of the guardians, so as not to be unable to fight against the dark erosion in the future.

"The above is the whole truth of the darkness coming."

After being silent for a while, and patiently waiting for Lin Ze to digest what he just said, Luo continued, "After that battle, the guardian lost the ability to take the initiative to attack and kill the disaster beasts, but it is different now, as long as we assist you to take the fourth Once the guardian team is established, we can re-form an army to deal with the beasts."

"I understand."

Lin Ze pursed his lips and nodded.

Now it seems that in order to pass the level, it is not necessary to eliminate all the disaster beasts, only one needs to be killed. In this way, he only needs to kill two more disaster beasts, and he should be able to pass the assessment dungeon.
