The Last King of Darkness

Rhodes froze for a moment, Queen of Stars? core

Isn't she from the family of stars?

Blessed by the stars, he is born with the characteristics of stars, has an extremely long life span, and additionally possesses the characteristics of eternal burning fire. He is a born king.

This is what the ghost of the Starry Queen told him in a dream.

During the process of clearing Starry Sky City, Rhodes informed the investigators of such information in various ways, but only concealed the content related to the dream.

Why did Wang suddenly mention this?

It is impossible for Wang Cheng not to know that she has twin soul characteristics.

Could it be... core

Rhodes frowned. He suddenly remembered that Queen of Stars became the king of Kingdom of Stars because Tasnia, one of the five human heroes who was the first Lord of Stars, tried to ignite the fire of conferring gods but failed. Forced to return to the Holy Fire.

At that time, the young queen ascended to the throne with the help of the former dream master Hegeol, stabilized the situation, and propped up the Starry Kingdom.

Could it be that what Wang was really referring to was the dream?

But how did he know?

Moreover, the dream is a completely independent system. I have a dream, but I can't resonate with the holy fire?

Rhodes looked at Wang suspiciously, and said hesitantly, "I don't know... Doesn't she have the characteristics of stars and eternal burning fire at the same time?"

Wang showed a faint smile. core

"Yes, but not exactly."

"During the continuous investigation of the mysterious man's hidden place, the great scholar Amides discovered some very secret information."

Rhode's heart sank, the mysterious man was Hegeol, and the hidden place was the inner temple where Hegeol was imprisoned.

Due to the lack of key information, Wang Cheng didn't know that he was the Lord of Dreamland, but only thought that he might be a mysterious powerhouse in the Age of Fire, who had a special relationship with the Starry Queen, and had a great influence on the establishment and development of the early Starry Kingdom. Certainly affected.

"Scholars in Wangcheng deciphered these messages, and we sorted out the existing knowledge and clues, and confirmed that he was the one who rescued the young Starry Queen from the ruined capital of hope, Asdergas."

"And the Starry Queen at that time only possessed the characteristics of stars."

Rhode's heart was shocked, and he lost his voice: "This is impossible."

"It's really unbelievable."

Horus said in a low voice.

"We were the same as you at first, thinking that this was impossible, but after repeated checking many times, we did not find any errors, omissions and mistranslations, but found more supporting evidence... The legend is true."

legend?

Rhodes didn't know what he was talking about, and only heard Wang's voice continue.

"The mysterious man didn't foresee that she would become the Queen of Stars at first, and he went to rescue her for a reason that we can't understand, and it seemed that it could bring him some kind of benefit."

"After rescuing the Starry Queen, the mysterious man originally intended to assist Tasnia in establishing a new human kingdom, but things developed beyond his expectations." Core

"Because of some kind of terrible crisis, Tasnia didn't listen to his dissuasion, and tried to carry out an extremely dangerous ceremony. In the end, he insisted on going his own way. The ceremony failed, his soul was split, and the newly established Starry Kingdom fell into great turmoil. among."

"The mysterious man was forced to use an ancient ritual to extract Tasnia's soul trait block, and transfer the eternal burning characteristic to the soul of the Starry Queen."

"Due to some kind of taboo, he changed the memory of the Queen of Stars, hid this fact, and even extracted his own memory, solidified it with a special method, and hid it in the gaps in his bones. Maybe it’s because I want to retrieve this memory in the future.”

Wang's voice became low.

"Unfortunately, he died due to unknown reasons. We found in his skull the dried-up memories engraved on the bones, and then found more fragments of dried-up memories in the hidden place. on the bone dust."

"It's hard for me to imagine why such a person would be crushed and turned into a candlestick."

Horus stepped forward, his voice full of rage for the first time. core

"It must be that ancient evil idea! The doomsday cultists hidden in the Starry Kingdom killed this unknown hero."

"If he hides in Trorian, I will definitely find him and let him reincarnate forever in the torture of the soul."

Rhodes also felt chills in his heart, he knew more inside information than they did.

Hegeol, whose dream was shattered, died tragically under the hands of Amon with the kind of anger, he can imagine, and even empathize with.

But what makes him more concerned is that the characteristic of eternal burning fire can be "transferred"?

And judging from what they said, it is obviously not the kind of transplant of the spirit bearer, but a complete acquisition like Kashan's "Seed of Rage".

But Kashan's "Seed of Rage" is a special case, only people of Kashan's lineage can inherit the power of this soul trait. core

Others try to assimilate, only to lose their souls and go mad.

The soul is the foundation of the existence of all living beings, and the soul characteristic is the trace of the original law left by the soul at the beginning of its formation.

To obtain new characteristics, one must change the soul and engrave a new trajectory.

But no matter in any era, changing the soul is an extremely dangerous thing, and a little carelessness will lead to madness.

Even a person like Kashan who has a blood connection and a similar soul can only get a "fire" change, and she has taken a huge risk for this.

Transferring a soul characteristic is equivalent to changing the engraved track inside the entire soul.

This is impossible. core

Rhodes asked suspiciously: "King, is this really possible? The kind of ritual that can transfer characteristics?"

"It's certainly possible."

Wang's voice was very calm.

"Eternal burning fire is a very special characteristic, and it does not conflict with all other characteristics. Among the kings of Trorian, there are a few people who have two characteristics, but there has never been a single person who has dual characteristics. negative impact."

"Some people think that the eternal burning fire is the power given by fire to its agent in the world, and it represents the will of fire. Therefore, it is compatible with any characteristic. After fully mastering its power, it can simulate other characteristics. Power, simply because it is the source power above all attributes."

"There is no way to verify the authenticity of this theory, but Eternal Burning Fire can indeed be regarded as an independent special system."

Wang paused and continued. core

"The legend of the hidden fire can be traced back to the first dynasty thousands of years ago. On some ancient stone tablets, we can still find the words about the protector of the country, the fire watcher, and the hidden fire."

"And for the kings of Trorian, this is an ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation, and its authenticity cannot be doubted."

"We once had the same doubts as you about this."

"If the Hidden Flame really exists, how can he inherit the throne when the owner of the Eternal Burning Flame has passed away?"

Wang looked at Rhodes, his golden eyes were burning, as if there was something deeper hidden inside.

"Now, we know."

Rhodes remained silent, understanding that the king was referring to the ancient ceremony. core

The meaning of the existence of the Hidden Flame is to use this ceremony to seize the "eternal burning fire" characteristic in the king's soul when the king died unexpectedly and there is no successor in the kingdom, so as to inherit the throne, guard the holy fire, and avoid turmoil in the kingdom.

However, he still didn't understand.

"Wang, why did you suddenly choose me to be a Hidden Flame? Aren't you in your prime?"

Wang replied calmly: "No, my life is not stable, and there is a risk of death at any time."

Rhodes was shocked: "Why? What's wrong with you?"

Wang smiled faintly: "I used a secret method to take out my heart. As the final weapon in the battle of Starry Sky City, it has completed its mission and turned into fly ash."

"Although I recast a heart with spiritual energy, the source of life has been damaged. The king's body is no longer complete, and the soul begins to turmoil. I have a hunch that I will return to the holy fire and my soul will return to heaven in the near future." Core

Rhode's heart suddenly fell into an ice cave, and a biting chill spread from the bottom of his heart, making his whole body cold.

"This... this is not necessarily."

He tried his best to deny this fact, and barely found an explanation.

"Maybe it's just your illusion? You know, intuition may not always be effective..."

The smile on Wang's face became bigger, and even Rhodes felt that he was smiling a little happily, which made him very puzzled and even a little angry.

"Little Rhodes, I didn't expect you to care so much about my life..."

Rhodes said stiffly: "You are our king, the guardian of the holy fire, how can I not care?"

Wang said in a relaxed tone: "I originally thought that you... er, just regarded me as a powerful elder, well, I was wrong, but, as the king of Trorian, my intuition did not come at random, It cannot be ignored."

"After my spirit was touched by this idea, I immediately asked Meredith to verify it for me. The prophecy of the source of the White Tower has not yet been prepared, but it has already begun to have power. Meredith consumed part of the power of the prophecy of the source , prophesied for me."

"The prophecy shows that I will encounter extremely dangerous bad luck in the not-too-distant future. My life is likely to end in that bad luck. There is a huge fault in the trajectory of fate."

"It was so obvious that Meredith never saw it."

"so."

Wang smiled, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I disappointed you, my hunch was correct." Core

"And that's why I suddenly decided to appoint Hidden Flame Candidate."

Rhodes felt that his blood was rushing through his body like ice water. Trorian had just made a turn for the better, and the fate of mankind finally had a turning point. The king of Trorian was about to perish?

All along, Wang's strength has been the strongest backing in his mind.

After seeing so many powerful invaders in his dream, he has no idea about the fate of Trorian and mankind. Before he really grows up, the only consolation is that they have an incredibly powerful king.

But now, Wang is about to return to the holy fire.

And his successors, Qingyu, Jon, and Xingge, no matter which one they are, are too young and immature, far from the king.

Rhodes was very reluctant to believe this fact, but he had to face it. core

"Wang...Even if this is true, we still have three successors...The establishment of Hidden Flame seems unnecessary."

Wang gave a faint smile.

"Rhode, you know, they are far from enough. The current holy fire is far stronger than before. They must become lawmakers and master the law of fire to fully control the holy fire. Otherwise, they can only play a very large role. With a small force, Trorian will suffer serious losses."

"In this case, the establishment of Hidden Flame is very necessary. This is the system formulated by the great human hero Trorian."

"And I think you'd be the best candidate."

"After my death, if none of them meets the requirements to inherit the throne, it can be directly regarded as a succession, and you will be the next king until they are eligible to sit on the throne."

"Do you understand?" Core

The sound fell, and the silence in the holy fire sacrificial field was scary.

Wang looked at Rhodes, something flickered in his burning eyes.

For some reason, Rhodes always felt that it was not the only reason.

However, he couldn't refuse, so he could only ask hoarsely, "Wang, do you know how to hold that ancient ceremony?"

Wang nodded slightly.

"Scholars have restored all its requirements and detailed process from exhausted memories. This is a powerful soul-turning ritual. It is simply an incredible miracle, as if it was specially created to transfer the eternal fire."

"If something unexpected happens to me, I will try my best to ensure the integrity of my soul. Horus will hold this ceremony to dig out the characteristics of my soul and give it to your soul." Core

"In this way, you will have the characteristics of eternal burning fire. It will be the highest level, only half a step away from the source law. You only need to complete its quantification, and then you can resonate with the holy fire."

"Even if it can't be completed, it doesn't matter. The highest level of eternal burning fire is enough to exert most of the power of the holy fire. As long as you act carefully and maintain balance, Trorian can maintain the status quo."

"If one of them breaks through and masters the law of the source of fire, then you will assist him to become king."

"This is the best solution to deal with future crises that we and the White Tower have jointly determined."

After the king's voice fell, Rhodes' mood became very complicated.

He never expected that he would accept such an important mission after returning to the royal city.

The trajectory of fate he expected has undergone a strange change. core

If things really develop as the king said, isn't he about to be the next new king of Trorian?

Rhodes suddenly felt a little panic, and said softly: "King, I know what you are thinking, but I am not prepared, my qualifications are too shallow, except for the battle of Starry Sky City, everything I have done is insignificant. ..."

"No!"

Wang looked at him seriously.

"Everything you did was to save Trorian. Without you, many things would be unimaginable. You saved the lives of many people and changed the fate of Trorian."

"Many times, I have a feeling that you seem to be an angel sent by the will of fire to save us. Your achievements cannot be denied, your position is well deserved, and you will live forever."

Suddenly, Rovia took the lead and shouted: "Redstone Village's Rhodes will never return!"

"The black rice bucket is immortal!"

Even Alan was no exception, and said with a smile: "Rhode is the best rising star I have ever seen. His aptitude is far better than mine, and his future achievements will far surpass mine."

Everyone applauded, looking at Rhodes with smiles and encouragement.

Even the Dark Moon Princess and the Red Queen, who ignored him before, did the same.

Rhodes is excited and excited, and a little unhappy, you can shout, why do you want to shout out the black rice bucket, can't the red **** of war?

"but."

Wang paused, and completed the turning point with two words. core

"There is another problem. To complete the soul-changing ceremony, we still lack a core material."

"A drop of perfect star source."

Rhodes was shocked. The star source is a strange element formed by the power of the stars, but the star source they have obtained so far is only the lowest, and it can only be used as a medicine to strengthen the soul, without those magical abilities.

And high-level star sources can not only strengthen the soul, but also endow the soul with the characteristics of stars. This is the root of the rapid growth of the Starry Kingdom—all the strong people in the kingdom have the characteristics of stars, without exception.

But this is still not the most perfect star source, and there is a higher star source, which is purer and more powerful.

And the purest and highest star source is called the perfect star source.

The Queen of Stars once told him that they could only obtain the lowest-level star source because part of the Wanxing instrument was missing and the power was lost. core

If you want to obtain a purer and more perfect star source, you must go to a place called "Fort Dread".

"Where are we going?"

Rhodes didn't say that name directly.

Wang Weiwei nodded, and did not mention it tacitly. It is best not to speak out about this kind of sensitive existence, so as not to touch the taboo.

If it is a more sensitive existence, then it cannot even be mentioned, and any form of expression is forbidden, and it can only be thought in the soul.

"The investigative legion has some clues. Some scholars have found its existence in the pile of old papers. We are further looking for its clues. I believe it will not take long."

Rhodes was excited, and he couldn't wait. He now has a lot of trump cards, with more than a thousand divinities, so powerful that he is invincible. core

There's a lot that can be done before the next invasion arrives.

Wang's expression turned serious, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said in a deep voice.

"Before that, we have another important action."

"The prophecy of the source that the White Tower has prepared for a long time is a very important prophecy for us. It has a very important impact on our future destiny and the choice of the road. However, due to various reasons, the prophecy of the source is still lacking more than destiny. relevant material."

"Not long ago, the survey legion and the White Tower determined that the ancient **** of destiny, Yano Sadag, seemed to be dismembered, and a large piece of debris fell into the ancient city of Sagus."

"We need to set off again, expedition to the ancient city of Sagus, obtain this fragment, and assist Meredith to complete the prophecy of the source."

Rhodes' heart moved, the ancient city of Sagus? Isn't that where the Book of Fate was found? core
