The Last Dark King

Latest website: Before Rhode could speak, Armando's angry eyes glanced over.

"Feixue, you can say these words in private, not in such a solemn and serious occasion."

Feixue stuck out her little tongue.

"What should I do if I say in private that he is really here?"

Armando's entire face turned visibly red, like a steamed orange.

"Punishment!"

he growled.

"Heavy punishment! You are not allowed to go to the Holy White Tree for a month! Go to the Botanical Garden! Before I see you make substantial changes, you are not allowed to drink a sip of water from the Blue Lake!"

Feixue's little face wrinkled up and she muttered in a low voice: "Grandpa Armando, this is too heavy, how about one day?"

Armando blew out a heavy breath from his nostrils.

"Shut up, you have no room for bargaining."

He angrily led the three Rhodes away.

Rhodes glanced at her sympathetically, only to find that she secretly made a face at him.

This girl...is totally a child.

Rhodes thought.

But she became a guardian so early, she was truly gifted.

The next person is a middle-aged man with a straight posture.

He was not wearing a guardian robe, and his upper body was bare, revealing his strong muscles. The crown of fire was printed on his neck. He only wore a pair of shorts on his lower body, his legs were cleanly shaved, and he carried a long sword on his back.

"The strong wind of Cloud Village."

Armando's tone was still a little stiff.

"He is an old guardian. It has been ten years since he passed the enthronement ceremony. He is very experienced, has a flexible mind, and is very capable of doing things. You can learn more from him."

Hayate nodded slightly to them, his attitude was calm and slightly indifferent.

"Hello, shining new stars, I am the guardian Hayate. My soul characteristic is the phantom of the moon. The level is nine. This is a characteristic affected by the weather. In the moon attribute celestial phase, my characteristic is the most powerful. If you need to cooperate, please come to me at this time."

He paused and continued.

"I am good at the front and middle positions, and my fighting style is close to that of an assassin. I need a stupid, big, and thick partner to fully utilize my strength."

He studied the three of them for a moment and focused on Jessica.

"You are very good."

Jessica pursed her lips and smiled: "Thank you, I will be that silly, black and thick partner."

Gale nodded slightly, then turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Rhodes rubbed his brow and whispered to Taylor: "Why do I feel that he is a little unreliable?"

Taylor replied solemnly: "Brother Rhodes, Lord Gale is a very powerful guardian. He is one of the few men in Trolian who has the title of Sword Master. He is known as the never-ending Sword Master of Gale."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is it so powerful? How many sword masters do we still have?"

"The old sword master Galen, the first knight Alan, the golden shining Valkyrie Teresa, and I am charging for the title of sword master."

Rhodes was even more surprised: "Theresa? She actually has the title of Sword Saint? She hasn't become a first-level combatant yet, right?"

Taylor coughed: "Her situation is special. Although she has the combat power of a first-level combatant, she cannot become a guardian."

"Special circumstances?"

"Yes." Taylor said seriously: "There are many first-level combatants, but not everyone can become a guardian. The first requirement of a guardian must be a fire bearer, that is, the Spark Sequence or the Spirit Fire Sequence."

Rhodes frowned. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be more than two sequences. The fire bearer was not the only warrior with special characteristics, and igniting the soul was not the only way to cross the psychic threshold.

"You, you mean Theresa is not a fire bearer?"

Taylor shook his head slowly.

"She is the White Spirit Bearer and belongs to the White Spirit Sequence. This is a secret, but you are qualified to know it now."

Rhode's frown deepened. He never expected that Teresa, whom he once regarded as a caring big sister, was not the fire bearer.

"What is the White Spirit Bearer? I can't remember clearly..."

Taylor looked solemn and replied in a deep voice: "The spirit carriers are the ones who support the soul. They cannot ignite the soul fire and can only gain power through other soul fragments with characteristics. White represents resonance, and white spirit carriers Players gain strength through soul resonance, which is relatively safe, but resonance matching is very difficult, and may lead to a decrease in synchronization rate during fierce battles or serious injuries, which will affect strength and even lead to loss of control."

"But Teresa has never had a similar accident. Her spirit-bearing characteristic is acceleration. This simple characteristic blooms with infinite brilliance in her hands. She has natural fighting intuition and unparalleled fighting talent. When she accelerates, Under the influence, she is like a Valkyrie born on the battlefield. Although her spiritual power is not particularly strong and her characteristics are not particularly good, her actual combat ability is very strong."

Taylor paused and glanced at the first elder Armando. Seeing that he was motionless, he knew that he could say what he said next.

"Therefore, Wang Cheng spent a lot of money to find a very powerful soul for her. After Teresa went through many dangerous soul transformations, she completed the resonance. Her psychic level was close to the eleventh level. Although there was no breakthrough, But the actual combat effectiveness has exceeded the standards of first-level combatants."

"However, she is not a fire bearer. She cannot be a guardian. She can only be a conqueror."

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds and asked, "How many first-level combatants do we have?"

Taylor thought for a moment and replied: "There are about 200 formal first-level combatants and approximate personnel with first-level combat effectiveness."

"But there are only thirty-three guardians."

"That's right." Taylor said with a smile: "The standards for guardians are very strict. In addition to being a fire bearer, they must also have enough honor, enough strength and room for growth, and enough wisdom and leadership skills. Only the best can become Guardians.”

Jessica nodded gently: "Taylor is right. Guardians are the strongest and most potential among first-level combatants. Only we can hope to become the most powerful Son of Fire and join the special-level combat." People’s ranks.”

Rhodes felt proud and a little heavy at the same time. The road to promotion was far more demanding than he imagined. He was just lucky enough to become a guardian so quickly.

Later, under the leadership of Armando, Rhodes met all the guardians at the scene.

They are very enthusiastic, very friendly to the arrival of new people, always introduce themselves in detail, and actively want to fight alongside them.

Rhodes remembered the names of each of them. Most of them were combatants of the Spiritual Fire sequence, but there were also a few who were of the Spark sequence. Some were older and some were younger, but he was still the youngest among them.

This made Rhodes unhappy. Everyone regarded him as a junior. At best, he was called Brother Rhodes, at worst, he was called Little Rhodes, and he was also called Brother Rhodes, or even called Little Brother.

Of the thirty-three guardians, only eleven arrived at the scene, and six came in spirit form.

Of the fifty-two seats, half were empty, some were already covered with dust, and some were just vacant.

Rhodes saw Lilivi's seat. Her name was still engraved on the seat, but the other empty seats had no names.

This made Rhodes feel very bad.

If her name is erased, what traces will she leave in this world?

However, Armando quickly told him that once the name appears on the Guardian's seat, it will never be erased. If the Guardian is killed in battle, they will replace it with a new chair, and the old chair will be stored forever. In the old library.

Immediately, Armando walked towards Trorian's statue and pushed open a door from its feet.

"This is the old warehouse of the guardians, where all the relics of the guardians are stored."

When the three of them stepped into this gray warehouse, they were stunned by the sheets of bronze seats.

The seats filled the room to the top of the warehouse.

Armando said in a deep voice: "There is no room in the warehouse. We plan to open another warehouse."

Rhodes asked in a voiceless voice: "Are these the relics of the Guardians? How many are there?"

"One thousand five hundred and sixty-one."

Armando's voice was hoarse and low, hiding a deep sadness.

"These are all the guardians who died in the past four hundred years."

"What about four hundred years ago?"

"Lost, mass extinction... Oh, historians have changed the name now. After the Second Trorian Catastrophe, we have very few relics left, and there is a gap in history."

"Before the catastrophe...how many guardians did we have?"

"I don't know, I guess it's hundreds."

"Where are the first-level combatants?"

"two thousand."

"Are they all dead?"

"They should all be dead. After the catastrophe, there was not even one Trolian left in ten, and not one strong person and high-level combatant left. It took us four hundred years to get back to what we are now."

Armando's voice became calm.

"But now we have an opportunity to transcend our greatest days."

"It's in Star City."

"A more powerful holy fire will ignite more souls and give birth to more high-level combatants and top experts. We will have more people stepping into the realm of Herrschers, and a true king will eventually appear in mankind."

He looked at the three people in front of him, and his cloudy and yellow eyes actually shone with light.

"You are the hope of the future, and this is the mission given to you by Fire!"

Taylor made a fist with one hand, pressed it on his heart, and said loudly: "We will definitely not disgrace the mission of fire!"

Jessica smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty the First Elder, you will meet an unprecedentedly powerful spirit girl. My liberation will eventually save the world."

Rhodes thought for a moment and asked, "What does a real king mean?"

Armando replied in a deep voice: "In ancient legends, in the realm above the Herrscher, he has infinite spiritual power and super authority. He can resist the invasion of the unspeakable, protect human safety, and can tear apart... He opens the curtain of black fog and lets the sun shine on the earth. He is the savior of mankind, a super strong man who can truly face the darkness. We respect him as the true king."

"However, this is just a legend. The true king-level combat power has not appeared for thousands of years. Since mankind entered the Dark Age, even the road to the true king-level has been cut off."

He paused and said.

"Okay, I've said too much. Now, you need to adapt to the identity and responsibilities of the guardians as soon as possible, and then step onto the battlefield of Star City as soon as possible to play your due role."

"Go to the main hall, Archbishop Horus will lead you into Star Ring Town."

After saying that, Armando turned and left the Guardian Hall.

Taylor sharpened his fists and said loudly: "Let's go quickly, I can't wait to go to the battlefield!"

Jessica said calmly: "Let's go."

The main hall is in the middle and upper part of the castle, an area that only first-level combatants can enter.

On the way to the main hall, Rhodes asked curiously: "Sister Jessica, are you really that strong?"

Jessica smiled and said: "Little Rhodes, you still don't understand what the 'magic liberation' of the seven characteristics of the Royal City is. People with these characteristics are destined to be strong, and when I control the source corresponding to it, , my awakening state will undergo earth-shaking changes. If there is one person who can save the world, that person must be me. If there is a group of people who can save the world, it must be our group of spirit girls."

Tyro glanced at her: "Jessica, I have to remind you that you are too arrogant. My Giant of Light is no worse than you. I never think that I can save the world."

Jessica raised her beautiful eyebrows: "How long can your giant form of light last?"

Taylor frowned and said, "Half a quarter of an hour..."

Jessica smiled sweetly: "Taylor, it's not a good thing for a man to be too short. My awakened state is permanent. As long as I don't release it and my spiritual energy is not exhausted, I will always be a powerful multi-armed snake demon. When I control With its source law, I will transform into a stronger super form. On that day, you will know how I got my title of 'Invincible'."

Taylor closed his mouth, not wanting to speak for the time being.

Rhodes hesitated to speak, but he still asked: "Sister Jessica, why is Annabei different from you?"

Jessica smiled apologetically: "Sorry little Rod, although we don't want to admit it, Annabeth is a freak. Her awakening state is very weak and her growth is too slow. But this is not her fault, maybe it is If something is wrong, you should take more care of her. After I become the true king, I will also take care of you."

She winked at Rod playfully.

"Satisfy your red heart of throwing yourself in big sister's arms and acting coquettishly."

Rhodes smiled awkwardly. He just wanted the girl to throw herself into his arms and act coquettishly, not the other way around.

He suddenly thought of something and asked: "Sister Jessica, where are the other members of the Spirit Girl Group?"

Jessica replied: "Except for Annabeth, all of them are first-level combatants. Trorian has regulations that only one person in the Spirit Girl group is allowed to serve as a guardian."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Why?"

Jessica frowned: "I don't know about that, maybe there is some consideration."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Is sister the strongest among the spirit girls?"

Jessica shook her head gently: "I am not the strongest. At this stage, Undine and Sansa are stronger than me, and there are several sisters who are not worse than me, but I will become the strongest. I can I feel that my awakening state is about to take control of the source law."

"alright."

Taro interrupted their conversation.

"Jessica, I say it again, you should be more cautious."

Jessica raised her eyebrows slightly, and the charm that leaked out at that moment made Rhodes' heart skip a beat.

"Taylor, my self-confidence is the source of my strength. If one day I become inferior and cowardly, you will never see me again."

Taylor stopped talking, came to the main hall door, and opened the door.

There were already many people in the main hall. The moment the door opened, all eyes were focused on them and saw the triple flame logo on their collars.

Noisy cheers suddenly sounded in the hall.

"It's the newly promoted guardian!"

"They are so young!"

"Yes, yes, especially that black rice bucket. I heard he can grow just by eating."

"Ah, my eyes, do I see the rising sun? I'm going blind!"

"Wow, that girl is so beautiful. Her breasts are bigger than my head."

"Shut up, it's rude to say that, she is the Guardian!"

"Hey, hey, we are about to go to the battlefield. I will let them see that even if they are not guardians, they are not necessarily stronger than us."

Various comments filled his ears, and Rhodes was surprised to find that he didn't know most of the people here.

He recalled Armando's words. There were nearly two hundred first-level combatants and similar first-level combatants in total. He had only seen a small number of them, which was normal.

Taylor said: "We must integrate their environment as soon as possible. On the battlefield, they are not only our teammates side by side, but also our combat resources."

Rhodes nodded and was about to walk over when a girl with short blond hair walked over.

Her steps were staggering, not as if she was injured, but as if she was just learning to walk. She was wearing a golden dress and had a delicate appearance. There were some small freckles on her fair face, but her flaws were not hidden.

"Hello."

As soon as she arrived, she stared straight at Rhodes and stretched out her hand to him.

"Are you the legendary black loser?"

Rhodes extended his hand unhappily: "It's me."

"Very good!"

She suddenly became excited and rushed up to hug him.

"It's really you. It's great. I finally see you. Do you know? You are the one I admire the most. In those dark days under the stone city, I only persisted by listening to your legend. ”

She let go of Rhodes, took two steps back, looked at him carefully, and then remembered to introduce herself.

"Good day, Lord Rhodes, I am Anne of Britannia, the destined savior of Trolian, and the true king of the future. One day, I will save this world, destroy all the black mist, and bring you a new world. Come to the light, this is what I was born to do, but I am not quite ready yet and need your help.”

Rhodes was shocked. He didn't say a word, but the blond girl sputtered a lot.

Also, what’s going on with you and Jessica? Why are you so confident?

Still have something to rely on?

"Well."

Rhodes hesitated for a moment and decided not to expose her ideals.

"Hello, Anne of Brittany... What are your characteristics? What position are you good at?"

Anne tilted her head, her blond hair fell to one side, and her delicate appearance looked very cute.

"What characteristic? What is that?"
