The Last King of Darkness

During the day, theoretical knowledge class.

Unlike the soft, superficial knowledge they learned at the academy, Churchill, the burly man, and Priscilla, the woman in black, took turns instilling them with hard-core truths about the world, fire, and the soul.

Only now did Rhode know how much effort and sacrifice the humans of Trorian had made to pursue knowledge and truth related to survival.

They frantically seek the truth of history, trying to find answers to their existence and avoid the causes of destruction.

They frantically seek all the means of truth that might help them survive, even if there is little hope.

It is for this reason that, in such an extraordinary environment, there is still ground for the study of physics, mathematics and conventional weapons.

It is precisely because of this that there are so many schools in the royal city, and everyone is looking for the way and the truth that can save the world.

Although there is only one academy of fire-bearers, the academies of knowledge are blooming everywhere.

night, fighting class

As a high-level knight, the instructor Sauron looked clean and elegant, but he was actually very irritable. He drills everyone like a mad dog.

Especially Rhodes.

He is either running laps, leaping frogs every day, or being beaten up by wooden stakes that can turn in circles.

This is of course not corporal punishment, but is training the basis of physical combat - one-shot psionic power and enhanced psionic power.

The physical strength of the monster is very high, and the diffuse psionic energy is always in a state of defense and offense. If you want to fight the monster in close quarters, you need the same super strength and defense ability.

Therefore, strengthening oneself with turbulent psionic energy to obtain super-high speed and strength, and using stagnant psionic energy to defend against high-intensity blows are essential skills.

In Sauron's eyes, except that Rhodes can use his psionic ability when he escapes, he can score 1 point, and all other abilities are 0 points. No different from beginners.

This made Sauron, who was known for being good at monster fighting and melee combat, extremely dissatisfied. He roared in the training ground almost every day, almost turning into a Roaring Emperor.

"I said it a hundred times! Psionic turbulence should be as natural as breathing. Does your psionic have asthma?"

"Arouse psionic energy at the moment when the effort starts! What are you using psionic energy for before you contribute?"

"Doesn't start to strengthen until half of the power is exerted? Do you want to tickle the monster?"

"Don't keep your psionic defenses open! Are you a target who only gets hit?"

When Sauron said this, it was when Rhode was in the most pain.

Because the rotating wooden stake will stick out a wooden stick from time to time, he needs to open his psionic defense at the moment when the wooden stick hits him to resist the attack.

As long as Rhodes reacted slowly for half a second, he would be hit hard in the head, arm or thigh with a wooden stick.

This is a real blow.

Although the doctor who treats trauma is on the sidelines, but mental pain is not a good cure.

Moreover, as the number of mistakes increased, Sauron not only did not slow down the rotation of the stake, but also accelerated it.

Rhodes can only fill his body with psionic energy and open his psionic defense.

But at this time, Sauron would stop him, saying that the only consequence of doing so would be to become a useless target and transfer the risk to his teammates in the rear.

then.

After a game, Rhodes will be beaten at least a few hundred times. Although his whole body hurts, there is no trace of scars.

After the combat class is over, the other students can rest.

But Rhodes can't, he still has a language class.

The teacher of the language class is unexpectedly Professor Binns, who used to explore the sewers with him

Thanks to the sewer map he presented, Rhodes went very smoothly in his subsequent sewer journey.

Although Rhodes has stopped going to the sewers now, he is still very grateful to him.

Professor Binns also had a very good impression of Rhodes and admired his dedication to language and his research on rare ancient languages. The discussion between the two was very pleasant, and it can even be said that it is rare to meet a confidant.

Although Professor Binns is a scholar of history, his research on language is very deep.

Here, if you don't know the language, you can't study history. The historian is not an old pedant who rummages through old papers. In addition to directly studying documents and antiquities, many scholars even follow expeditions or expeditions to explore the ruins in person.

With his help, Rhodes' knowledge and mastery of the language system increased rapidly.

Soon, Rhodes figured out that whether it was a common language or a variety of ancient languages, they all belonged to the same language family. Many languages ​​and their variants can be understood if one traces the line up, and dream language is no exception.

This is simply too good!

Rhode felt that in a few days, he would be able to unlock the secrets in the dream.

Busy time always flies by quickly.

The special training was very hard, but it was also very rewarding. After so long, Rhodes finally set foot on a correct fast lane and hurried forward.

About ten days later, Rhode's language ability finally broke through the barrier and reached a new level in one fell swoop.

He finally understood why he couldn't understand the more complex dream language. In addition to the complex grammatical structures that could be superimposed on each other, it was also because their font structures could have different meanings.

Some simple words Rhodes guessed right because it was difficult for them to mean anything else.

But a complex sentence may have thousands of meanings.

Professor Binns admired Rhodes' language talent. He told Rhodes that the monster group in the ruins of the royal city found in the middle of the sewers had been cleaned up, and now the excavation of the ruins is proceeding in an orderly manner, if Rhodes is interested , you can join the Ash Digger School and participate in it.

Rhodes euphemistically stated that he was in the special training of the secret branch.

Professor Binns didn't care, he just said that if you are interested, you can come to him at any time.

After finishing the last course of the day, Rhodes returned to the dormitory, returned to the dream, took out the book of knowledge and started working. This time, it was like the constipation that had been held for many years was cleared up.

The text that used to look as stiff as old feces was instantly swept away.

Rhodes was so excited that he wanted to bury his head in the book of knowledge and work hard.

After about three hours, Rhodes finally finished translating all the words about the invasion, but the smile on his face all disappeared.

The translated text was written on the white paper on the side, and Rhode double-checked it twice to confirm that there was not much ambiguity.

I saw on the white paper:

Dream Invasion:

When the dreamland ushered in the beginning of a new master, the invasion began, which was the instinct of the source.

Invasions vary widely depending on the time of day and astral environment.

Varies greatly depending on the state of soul corruption.

It is stronger with the influence of the dream on the spiritual world.

Stronger as the world falls into darkness.

The original text is much longer, and this is the core content that Rhodes extracted.

It completely shows that Rhode's dream is broken, and his crisis has never passed.

Especially the last sentence, reminded him of a sentence from Mr. Churcher's first day of class

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

Doesn't this mean that the monsters he meets in the future will become stronger and stronger?

The obelisk had been silent for so many days. In fact, it was not that the invasion was interrupted, but that a stronger invader was coming? Rhode felt a strong chill rise along his back, and he couldn't help shivering.

during the following days.

Rhodes very much hoped that his translation was not good enough and that there was an error.

But unfortunately, no matter how he studied, he did not find any fatal translation errors.

He even disassembled the original text and gave it to Professor Binns to translate it, but the overall effect did not change.

Professor Binns also took a lot of interest in this kind of writing, and eagerly asked Rhodes where he found it. If his source can be verified, the history books may be able to add another note.

Rhodes took a lot of effort to get past it.

On the fifteenth day, the worst came.

Invasion face on obelisk is no longer empty

The blood-red words once again covered the surface of the tablet, and they shone slightly, as if to symbolize some kind of terrifying ominousness.

warn!

warn!

warn!

The scourge of the river of eternal death has awakened.

The invasion will come after forty-four rounds of sunset.

Rhode's heart suddenly fell into the ice water.

He still had a fresh memory of the last invasion. A hunt for a red spirit almost consumed all his luck, and he was lucky to kill it in the end.

There is no doubt that the scourge of the River of Eternal Death must be much stronger than the hunting of red spirits.

no.

I've been stuck at this stage for too long, [Justice Execution] is not full yet, I'm going to hurry to hunt monsters. Also, get the [Resurrection Stone] [Wood Puppet] ready.

If I continue to practice slowly like this, I'll be finished.

Rhode thought to himself.

but.

During the special training, it is not that there are no tasks, the secret branch is all suitable for personnel who grow up in the battle, and the special training is only to allow them to better digest the gains in the battle.

And Rhodes was the last in combat power among them, and there was a huge gap with the others. Instructor Sauron never sent him.

really.

The next day, Rhodes' request was denied.

Sauron said that with his current physical combat skills, he couldn't even beat his grandma lying on the hospital bed.

Although Rhode repeatedly stated that he was very capable, Sauron firmly disagreed unless he could defeat any of these students.

If it is a life-and-death duel, Rhode's summons will come out, and if you use various means, you will not necessarily lose.

However, on the training ground, the two sides were separated by ten yards, and the venue was limited, so Rhodes couldn't fight at all.

People came up and disarmed him in a second, and he had no move.

Later, Rhodes thought of a way.

He found the girl with red hair and gold armor.

This is the only one of all the top special students who can speak two words.

"I'll give you a hundred silver cables, and you'll pretend to lose to me for a while, okay?"

The shining golden Valkyrie smiled and clapped his hand: "No, Valkyrie never gives up."

"One thousand silver cords."

"it is good.

However, UU reading www.uukanshu.com In the actual combat training, Rhodes who can't use the ultimate move is too weak, and the Valkyrie can't even release water.

Because it was too fake, Sauron declared the competition invalid, making Rhodes half-dead.

The girl raised the silver note in her hand: "The money will not be returned, but I can grant you a request, and you can come to me if you have anything."

Rhodes was very frustrated.

Now that he is not as ignorant as he was at first, [the execution of justice] requires a stronger soul.

And monsters with this kind of soul are not allowed to exist in the [safe zone]. Once they appear, the military department will immediately form a hunting team to clean up.

If you go out alone, not to mention where to go in the dark, it is very dangerous to meet alone without intelligence and logistical support.

After a few more days, things still didn't turn around.

Just when Rhode was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, a group of people suddenly appeared in the secret branch base, which made his eyes shine.
