The Last King of Darkness

Rhode replied with a smile: "This is a misunderstanding. If I am very fragile, how can I clean the sewers alone? How dare I hunt and kill Doomsday Cultists?"

Heiyu's expression was a little gloomy.

"You can scout and kill enemies, so am I useless?"

Rhode comforted: "How come? Your badge is very useful."

Heiyu immediately smiled: "Yes, this is a sensor badge made from the ashes of evil spirits. Whenever there is an evil spirit nearby, it will vibrate wildly, but unfortunately, this is just a simple sensor, it only It can remind that there is an evil spirit nearby, and cannot point out its specific location."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Just cooperate with me. The evil spirit seems to have the ability to teleport. I have seen the direction just now, but when I turned my head, it appeared."

Heiyu said in surprise: "Evil spirits are pure spirits and can travel freely in the spirit world. Of course you won't be able to see them when they enter the spirit world."

Rhodes moved in his heart and asked, "Then how can I see it?"

"Unless your spirit is also in the spirit world."

"Isn't it impossible for the evil spirit to deal with it?"

"Why can't we deal with it?" Hei Yu looked at him in surprise: "Evil spirits enter and exit the spiritual world by instinct, you don't think they will attack or escape by this, right?"

"Uh, no?"

Hei Yu covered his forehead: "You must also be an intellectless orangutan, you hate learning and only love to fight. All creatures infected by the black fog have no reason, only madness, chaos, silence, and the instinct engraved in the soul imprint. The same is true of evil spirits, they enter the spirit world from time to time, and return from the spirit world irregularly. There is no reason or purpose. When they are provoked, they will directly attack you. The biggest difficulty for us to deal with them is even if They are in the material world, and we can't see them either, and their spirit bodies have a strong ability to conceal themselves, and those with a spiritual vision below fifty can't even see a shadow."

"Then how do you fight them?"

"The investigators will report to us, but the blind men in our fort have poor eyesight, and the report is slow and crooked. I had to use my psionic power to protect my whole body and slash with a knife."

"Can physical weapons hurt spirits?"

"It's okay to have psionic power. By the way, I still don't know what it looks like, you can tell me."

Rhodes briefly but accurately described the appearance of the evil spirit.

Hei Yu shuddered: "It's scary, fortunately I can't see it."

And just like that, for the next two hours, they roamed the wasteland for evil spirits while chatting casually.

Searching for evil spirits is an act of pure luck. They walk along the established route. Sometimes evil spirits will fly head-on, and sometimes they will suddenly appear in the air.

The induction badge does provide a lot of convenience. After all, Rhodes' Soul Eye cannot rotate 360 ​​degrees around the clock.

The neck will break.

Rhodes was not particularly satisfied with this efficiency, until they returned, they hunted a total of thirty evil spirits.

Rhode started the whole process, and Heiyu was yelling from the side.

In the end, Rhode was even reluctant to use the spirit-sealing bullet, and the real silver bullet could solve the evil spirit as well.

Its flaws are so big, it's like a free gift.

Two hours later, although Rhodes wanted to continue hunting, the black fish insisted to return.

Because it's almost night time.

This is the darkest time of the day, the power of fire is the weakest at this time, the power of black fog is the strongest at this time, and many monsters hidden in the wasteland of corpses will also come out to move.

The most dangerous thing is that the silent state of many monsters sleeping in the depths of the wasteland will be weakened and the senses will be sharpened.

With the power of fire, they are likely to awaken these ancient existences.

Not only is this extremely dangerous, it can also present unforeseen threats to nearby human strongholds.

"Unexpected" was the last thing Wang Cheng wanted to see.

Trorian's power is very weak relative to the vast darkness, and it is entirely up to the observers and prophets on the White Tower to maintain a fragile balance.

Once the "unexpected" occurs, it usually means that they will have a major loss, requiring complicated actions and long adaptations to adjust the new balance.

Because of this, in the dark world outside the royal city, it is common sense to forbid any action at night.

Hei Yu found out that this guy has no common sense. He is not only an ordinary orangutan without intelligence, but also a super-intelligent orangutan.

He didn't even know what an orangutan was.

"Don't you have childhood? Didn't your mother tell you "The World of Light" when she put you to bed? Haven't you heard "The Thing About the Gorilla's Red Hair"? "The Little Princess and the Seven Snow Whites" You don't know "The Little Girl Who Illegal Selling Kindling"? So many classic fairy tales are the spiritual food of our childhood... You are so pitiful."

Heiyu's words made Rhodes finally understand why he had mastered many customs and habits, but he was always out of tune with them.

It turned out to be a lack of childhood.

Well, I'll borrow "Bright World" when I go back.

By the way, I also brought my childhood here, so that you can see what is called "Pleasant Goat vs. Shui Bingyue".

On the way back, Hei Yu kept giving Rhode Cope all kinds of common sense. This guy is very talkative and has a high interest. Today's harvest is huge for him. Before, they could not kill thirty evil spirits in a day. .

And it was very easy, the evil spirit was hacked to death by him with two swipes.

That's what he said after returning to Jianguan Fortress.

Rhodes didn't care much, but the other four teams were very envious, and the Annabee team, the most among them, only hunted ten.

Annabei watched Heiyu proudly display the ashes of the evil spirits, and sighed, "Don't be envious. In front of him, I'm all stone and wood cores. Fortunately, he is relatively brittle."

Rhode said unhappily: "You haven't tried it yet. How do you know I'm fragile? Only those who have experienced it are qualified to answer this question."

He turned his head, raised his voice and asked:

"Heiyu, am I tough?"

Hei Yu, who was blowing wildly beside him, hurriedly replied: "Hard hard, I have tried it, and there is no one who is harder than Brother Rhodes."

Annabei snorted: "I must go with you tomorrow to see how hard you are."

"Forget it." Rhode didn't want to go all the way with her. "Magic liberation" is said to be one of the seven characteristics. It sounds like a powerful long-range attack method, and her spiritual vision is not weak, maybe she will take him away The monster, Captain Blackfish is the most suitable teammate. He has short hands, thick skin, thick eyes and blind eyes. He is just a shield and will not steal his soul.

Heiyu said happily, "Look, Brother Rhodes thinks I'm the best partner."

Annabei glanced at him and hummed, "You guys have ghosts." Raising his chin, he turned and walked away, leaving them with an arrogant back.

—

In this way, Rhodes was stationed at Jianguan.

The guard soldiers at Jianguan responded with enthusiasm for their arrival. As the end of the inner defense circle, they have never been taken seriously and have never received such great support.

I have never enjoyed the warmth of the guardian fire.

When the fire of human life took root here, its power became firm and strong, and it was illuminated by its light within a radius of three hundred yards.

Although it was still small compared to the darkness in the wasteland, the warriors all felt like it was dawn.

Before the arrival of the guardian fire, they used the embers that contained Mars separated from the guardian fire. Its power could not even light up the fortress. When the warriors fought on the city wall, they also needed to wear red to resist the erosion of black mist. Tearstone.

Now, they can run freely on the city walls, look into the distance, and use defensive equipment such as ballistas to attack monsters.

The most important thing is that they can finally rest assured and have a good night's sleep.

The number of people on duty at night has been reduced by more than half, and it is impossible for any dark existence to bypass the fire to attack them. As long as they step into the range of the fire, they will continue to burn until they turn to ashes.

The recovery speed of spiritual energy is also faster. Sitting next to the burning guardian fire to meditate, feeling the warm breath pouring into the soul and dispersing into the limbs and bones, this is definitely the highest enjoyment.

It's much better than taking medicine and eating cold soul red crystals.

But unfortunately, the fire protection sacrificial field of Jianguan Fortress is the smallest, with only ten positions.

The Fire Keeper Moore is a very strict and eccentric old man, and he will drive out anyone who squeezes in more.

"Beside the guardian fire, no one who exceeds the limit is not allowed to meditate. This is the basic rule." He warned everyone coldly.

Everyone except Rhodes can understand that this is to avoid damage to the guardian fire, resulting in the loss of power.

Under the arrangement of the garrison commander Steelhand, captain Beauwood, and Raistlin, a rule of taking turns to meditate was formulated, and the time for each person to meditate before the guardian fire was determined according to the time each person performed the task and the heavy battle.

And Rhodes, who has a brilliant record, undoubtedly ranks first.

During this time, he and Blackfish went to the corpse wilderness to hunt evil spirits every day.

Start in the morning and work until you come back at night.

Sixteen hours a day, he has to work twelve hours, and he can't wait to omit the time for eating and shit.

Heiyu was still in high spirits on the first day, but on the second day he was sluggish, and on the third day he lay in the fort and couldn't get out.

Rhodes could only change a soldier to accompany him.

In fact, he can act alone, but he is not familiar with the road, and he can't use the astrolabe. He can't find his way in the vast darkness. Once the peripheral light or red tearstone on his body is exhausted, only the black mist eroded. Tragic fate.

Moreover, it is also good to have a teammate to support the bottom.

In this unknown dark world, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

Rhodes can hunt down about a hundred evil spirits every day, and the efficiency is not very high, far lower than his own expectations.

This is because evil spirits generally appear more in the evening, and less in the morning and noon.

Night time is the most, but no one is allowed to leave the customs during this time.

And if it wasn't for the safety of Jianguan Fortress, he would not be allowed to leave the border even at night.

What displeased Rhodes the most was that when he sacrificed, he found that there were very few souls of evil spirits, far lower than expected.

The sacrificial ones plus the soul crit directly obtained, a total of less than 80 soulless souls.

That is to say, at the end of the day, he only has an income of 8,000 Soulless Souls.

But even so, it is far more efficient than the original sewer.

The soulless soul that is 50,000 away is nothing more than waiting for a few more days.

Moreover, the soul of the evil spirit is not without merit, its spirituality is very rich, and a soul has at least 2 copies.

After sacrificing so many evil spirits, Rhode obtained about 800 copies of spirituality. These translucent jelly-like objects were almost piled up to half a person's height, which has far exceeded his once richest humanity.

Rhodes can only put them all into the storage, which has quite a lot of internal space and can be completely stored.

And the wasteland of corpses was much more empty than expected, unlike when Rhodes first heard its name, he thought it was crowded with monsters.

In fact, apart from the evil spirits, there is only some dust wandering.

Rhodes had no interest in these things with only a few soulless souls, and left them all to the guards.

Even so, most fighters couldn't last a day.

After returning from a trip with Rhodes, they lay like dead pigs in the fort for several days before recovering.

And Rhodes is not only always full of energy and energetic, he doesn't even need to meditate by the guardian fire.

He gave all the opportunities to others, and moved the guard soldiers of Jianguan.

Of course, this is not how selfless Rhodes is, but there is a reason.

First, he didn't particularly need to restore psionic power.

The recovery effect of [Brilliant Blue] is very significant, and the longer the combat time is, the longer it will last.

Fighting in the wasteland, the intensity is actually very low, but the time is stretched to twelve hours, and there is no pressure on him at all.

Then, Rhode found that when he was too close to the guardian fire, he not only did not recover faster, but also felt very uncomfortable and had a strong feeling of rejection.

This feeling wasn't present when the Guardian Fire was in the lamp, but it became apparent after it hit the ground.

As long as it is within twelve yards, there is a strong sense, and when it is twenty yards away, there is no discomfort, only the same warm and comfortable feeling as they are.

This reminded Rhodes immediately of the scalding Holy Grail during the Trial of Fire.

He didn't actually pass the trial, and he wasn't in the Fire Holder sequence.

Rhodes had completely let go of his heart and mentioned it again. There are many secrets about him that cannot be disclosed. He must be careful and not reveal his faults. Otherwise, maybe he will get caught in a certain inspection, and it will be over.

Rhodes thought about it carefully for a while, except for some personality changes, the biggest flaw is only the polluter sect.

After returning, we must find a way to step up the encirclement and suppression of them and kill them as soon as possible.

But now, no one doubts that aspect at all.

Steel Hand, Beorwood, Raistlin and others also joined forces to persuade him, and they talked about the big and small truths countless times, but after finding that Rhodes really didn't need to recover, they didn't say any more.

Instead, they sighed everywhere about how powerful Rhodes' second kind of fire, "Grass", was so powerful. Why didn't they have such a powerful kind of fire?

For a time, even the people in the spirit fire sequence regretted it. If they had awakened into sparks, maybe it was themselves who were "grass".

In this regard, whether it is the guard soldiers of Jianguan or the members of the secret branch, they are envious. They take turns to ask Rhodes how "Grass" feels every day, and even write the original text of the soul of "Grass" on their clothes. , weapons, armor and even on the body, in the hope of obtaining the protection of "grass", allowing them to restore a little more psionic power.

There are also some funny guys who have this word tattooed in indescribable places, hoping to gain more lasting power.

I don't know since when, it has always been popular in the trail to associate psionic endurance with another endurance, thinking that the two are connected.

It can be inferred from this that Rhodes' staying power simply surpasses that of mortals.

This made Rhode very troubled. No matter where he went, both men and women looked at him with very respect and yearning.

Of course, what they admire and yearn for is not the same.

There was only one person who firmly didn't believe it, and that was Annabelle.

The senior sister in the fourth semester of the academy insisted that what she did not try in person was all rumors, and unless Rhodes tried with her, she would never admit that Rhodes was hard.

But her careful thinking was mercilessly mocked by Mina, who said that she was an old cow who wanted to eat young grass, and the dung was rotated and wanted to go to the dining table.

This made Annabee so angry that if it wasn't for Beorwood and Raislinka in the middle, the two would have fought.

Although there is a little bit of discord ~www.readwn.com~, the overall work of Jianguan Fortress is very smooth, and it has never been so smooth.

The team that hunted evil spirits achieved unprecedented results, greatly weakening the number of evil spirit groups, so that the arrival of evil spirits did not have any impact on Jianguan Fortress.

The patrol teams of Beorwood and Raistlin cleared a large area behind Sword Pass with high efficiency, so that there was no delay in the supply of supplies from Giant's Fortress, and the environment of the villages and towns such as Rear Rock Village and Southwind Town was greatly improved. Jon Snow, the guardian of the seventh zone, also wrote a letter to them to express his praise.

The team that went to the Everglades to hunt the creepers also returned with fruitful results and successfully retrieved many creeper ashes.

Under the maintenance of Mina, the psionic generator can be used normally.

The spiritual energy it releases, along the established veins, strengthens the entire Jianguan fortress, greatly enhances its hardness, and also has the effect of greatly distributing the impact force, making it very difficult to destroy.

The best news is that the battle in the Liguang Fortress in front of Jianguan was extremely smooth. The super-giant psionic cannon "Liguang" located at the top of the fortress evaporated more than half of the coming Kuroshio, and the elite fighting groups and defenses in the fortress evaporated. The man rushed out of the city gate and killed the remaining monsters.

Therefore, the tide of monsters that may overflow to Jianguan will be very small, and the guard soldiers of Jianguan will have more preparation time.

And after replacing seven followers in a row, Rhodes finally got together 50,000 soulless souls to make [Soul Firewood].

There are fewer and fewer evil spirits on the wasteland, and the income is almost lower than that of the sewers, and he no longer wants to go.

So, after returning to the best room in the entire fort that Steel Hand had specially prepared for him, Rhode locked the door, buttoned up his sleeves, and entered the dream.
