The Last King of Darkness

Rather than revealing his big secret right away, Churchill asked a really deafening question.

"What is psionic energy?"

Is this guy's voice made of steel?

Although Rhodes was afraid that his ears would be deafened, he did not cover it. The moment the question was raised, he knew that this class was unusual.

A brown-haired girl got up and replied, "Psionic energy is a kind of energy, derived from the power of our soul, with our spiritual attributes, so we can control it, and what does not have spiritual attributes is general psionic energy."

Churchill nodded slightly, motioning her to sit down.

"Excellent, very standard and comprehensive answer, then, who can tell me where the spiritual energy comes from?"

There was a little change in class, and the question was so strange that no one thought of it.

A tall boy tentatively replied: "From the soul?"

Churchill grinned from under his beard:

"Where did the soul get its power from?"

The class was quiet.

After a pause, Churchill continued.

"Think about it, whenever you use your spiritual energy a lot, you can directly restore your spiritual energy through meditation and rest. We know that the energy of the body comes from food, but does the energy of the soul come from ordinary food? Then Powerful power can be contained in a few pieces of pie and a few pieces of barbecue?"

"If not, where did it come from?"

A boy asked tentatively, "From the spiritual world?"

Churcher nodded: "The idea is good, what is the spiritual world?"

The boy replied: "The spiritual world is the other side of the material world, it is the inner logic of the world's operation, and it is the inner side of everything. The material world is dominated by matter, and the spiritual world is dominated by spirit. When we are in the spiritual world, what we see is The flow of spirit and energy, just as we see matter in the physical world."

Thinker

Churcher smiled and said: "It's very well said, the material world and the spiritual world can be considered as different parts of the world, but students who have studied "Energy Grading Theory" and have been to the spiritual world know that energy can only be from high to low. Equal transformation, such as the transformation of spiritual energy into material energy such as heat, motion, wind, thunder, electricity, etc., the reverse is not possible, and the energy in the spiritual world is mostly in between, which is why it is closely related to the material world. ."

"But." A student suddenly asked, "In this case, wouldn't our psionic energy be used less and less? The energy eventually accumulated in the lowest form."

Churchill's smile widened.

"Very well, your question touches on the essence of the world."

The class fell silent, and everyone was attentively waiting for his next words.

"If any of you have been involved in exploring the ruins of the Sigurd dynasty, you've heard a word - the Sea of ​​Thoras."

"Solas means the source in the ancient language, and the Sea of ​​Solas is the source sea. We call it the source sea. It is the basis for constructing the world and the deeper essence of the spiritual world."

"The ultimate destination of all matter and energy is the Sea of ​​Sources, and the ultimate source of all matter and energy is also the Sea of ​​Sources."

"The energy of the lowest form will sink into the sea of ​​origin, and will eventually appear in our world in the highest form, such as spiritual substances, spiritual mineral veins, etc."

"So, it's both the lowest point and the highest point."

"And our soul can obtain energy from the Sea of ​​​​Origin. In addition to directly replenishing the potions of spiritual energy, most potions also help our souls obtain energy faster."

"That's how our world is structured and how it works."

Chuchel paused, and his expression became solemn.

"Now, let me talk about the curse of the world - the black mist."

The classroom became deadly quiet, save for the sound of the breeze blowing through the curtains.

"Please note that we cannot simply think of the black fog as a dark force."

He raised his hand, and a light appeared on his fingertips. He blocked the light with his other hand, forming two spaces with distinct light and dark.

"Light and shadow go hand-in-hand with each other and are the normal principles of nature, while the black fog is a cursed, distorted, deformed darkness that leads everything to death, madness and chaos, eroding all order and rational existence."

A student asked, "Teacher, where did the black mist come from? Did it exist where the world was created?"

Churchill's voice fell.

"I tell you clearly that the black fog did not exist in ancient times. It appeared in the early stage of the Second Era, which is the legendary God Era."

"We found in the historical relics that as early as that period, people and gods were fighting against the black mist, but at that time, the black mist did not rule the world, and every day they had a clear sky and could see the sun and the moon. and the day of the stars, like our festival of the sun and the day of light."

"However, with the passage of time, the erosion of the black fog gradually deepened, the gods fell one by one, the monsters became stronger and stronger, and some indescribable existences appeared."

"Because of the age, we don't know what happened in between until the next epoch - the epoch of fire."

"In this era, the gods have died out, but human beings have established hundreds of fire king cities. The light of fire shines in all directions, and the black fog can only occupy a small remote area."

"But the good times didn't last long, and human beings failed again. We don't know the reason. We can only know from limited history that the fire king city was destroyed one by one, the holy fire was extinguished one by one, and the world officially started to move forward. Into the darkness, the age of darkness is coming."

"This is our era."

"When we learned about the existence of the Sea of ​​Origin, some scholars put forward a new guess that the black fog is eroding the origin of the world, and as the erosion of the Sea of ​​Origin deepens, the feedback of the black fog is getting stronger and stronger. "

"The world is slipping faster into a dark abyss."

The class was silent again.

Churchell looked around, the rumbling voice echoing in the classroom.

"However, our guardian fire, the fire of light, the fire of life, the fire of hope, the fire of eternity, can disperse the black mist and resist their erosion. When the guardian fire takes root, the power of the fire will gradually affect The sea of ​​origin, to clear pollution and distortion."

"That's why we forbid meditation in the dark to restore psionic power, because you will be infected and become a monster, and why we restore psionic power faster near the guardian fire, because you are closer to the power of life ."

"So, if you want to prevent the world from falling into the abyss, you must ignite more fires to illuminate a larger world."

"That's why we keep expanding outward, because the only fate waiting to shrink is to perish."

Churchill raised his right hand.

"The night will pass away, and the dawn will come!"

A neat answer sounded in the classroom: "The night will eventually dissipate, and the dawn will come!"

In the following course, Churchill explained in detail how to find the guardian fire that is silent in the darkness.

And how to light a new guardian fire.

- Requires Fire, Seed of Fire, Higher Phlogiston and Firewood.

Rhodes didn't know why he thought of the process of igniting the stars. There were many similarities between the two, but they were not identical.

Maybe there are many secrets hidden in the dream beyond my imagination.

Rhode thought to himself, secretly planning to solve the language problem as soon as possible.

After the morning session was over, and after only a short break, the afternoon session began.

The teacher of the lecture was a woman in a black robe named Priscilla, and the content of the lecture was about the soul.

This class was particularly enriching, from which Rhode learned a lot about the soul and solved many doubts.

At night, it is training for combat.

The instructor was a senior knight named Sauron. He told everyone that the three core elements of combat power were "psionic power", "characteristics" and "tactics".

Spiritual energy is the root of everything. Without spiritual energy, there is no combat effectiveness.

Characteristics are the development and application of one's own abilities. Some seemingly poor characteristics and abilities can often exert unexpected power if they can be deeply explored.

Tactics, referring to the skills and techniques of combat, are divided into physical combat and characteristic combat.

Physical combat generally refers to close combat, using psionic enhancement and superb combat skills to directly strike monsters~www.readwn.com~ Characteristic combat refers to the means of fighting by using one's own characteristics, such as psionic cannons.

For the average combatant, it is enough to master one of them.

But for the "top performers", both physical combat and characteristic combat must be mastered.

Because they can't have shortcomings, in most teams, they have to play the role of generalists.

The focus here is on physical combat.

Sauron's original words were: "Characteristics cannot be changed, but physical combat can be mastered."

Even if your characteristics allow you to stay in a safe position and carry out long-range attacks, in the dangerous dark world, accidents always happen. When monsters break through the formation and come to you, you must be able to dodge the monster's attack and avoid it. fight back.

Otherwise, you, the "top performer", don't deserve to be the core of the team.

And this is the biggest flaw of Rhodes.

So far, he has never used physical combat, and can be called a pure "characteristic school", which refers to a school that only relies on characteristics to fight.

In the process of watching Rhodes training, Sauron's face was almost bent. He had never seen a student with such a poor foundation, he was like a freshman.

But judging from his resume, he has already experienced hundreds of battles.

Maybe his characteristics are too strong.

Sauron thought to himself.

This unhealthy trend of relying only on characteristics must be ruthlessly corrected!

So, Sauron spent most of his time training Rhodes.

If the foundation is poor, start with the most basic training.

So, when the other students were learning advanced combat skills, Rhode had to run around the training ground by himself.

One hundred laps and a quarter of an hour.

If you can't finish it, add another hundred laps.

In this way, Rhodes' special training in the secret branch began.
