The Last Dark King

Latest website: Horus's voice echoed in the Holy Fire Sacrifice, shaking Rhodes' eardrums like thunder.

He suddenly had an idea. The dream world might exist to create a true king.

However, this idea is not certain.

Judging from the pattern of the dream, it does not seem to be within the conventional system.

Suddenly, Rhodes realized another problem.

"Archbishop, in the era when fire was strong, there should be a true king, right?"

Horus nodded slightly.

Rhodes continued: "But they were destroyed in the end... Moreover, in the era when gods were active, weren't there more gods comparable to the True King? Didn't they also perish one after another under the erosion of the black mist? ?”

Horus's hard face trembled, and Rhodes could barely tell it was a smile.

"If you had asked me this in the past, I would have told you that even if you cannot crush the darkness and create a bright world without black mist, a true king can at least ensure peace and lead the rise of Trollian. Human beings thrive in this remote land, so there may not be no opportunities in the future."

"But now, I can answer directly, it's very likely."

Rhodes asked in surprise: "Why?"

Horus turned his head and looked at the holy fire.

The golden flame occupied all their sight.

The Archbishop did not answer his question immediately;

"When formulating the Holy Fire plan, we once doubted whether the two Holy Fire seeds could be combined. Would they repel each other, causing the Holy Fire to become more unstable and collapse?"

"At that time, the king told us that this would not happen."

"Even if the seeds of the Holy Fire cannot simultaneously become the core of the Holy Fire, their powers can support each other and support the crumbling Holy Fire."

"It turned out that the king was wrong."

Rhodes was shocked: "The king is wrong?"

Horus's face was trembling again, and his cloudy and hazy eyes had never been so bright as now.

"Yes, the seeds of the Holy Fire did not become the core of the Holy Fire at the same time, nor did they support each other. They came together with a special induction to form a new core on their own."

"The king told us that the structure of the Holy Fire has undergone unimaginable changes. The original core has turned into a strange tree-like array, with two Holy Fire seeds embedded in it, like a whole."

"And there are more eyes in this array."

Rhodes was shocked.

"What do you mean?"

Horus nodded, and the layers of his dry face bloomed, like an orange peel turning into essence.

"Yes, it's what you think. We think this may be the true structure of the Holy Fire."

"These empty eyes can be filled with more sacred fire seeds."

"Its structure is originally like this. It is not that one Holy Fire Seed ignites a Holy Fire, but multiple Holy Fire Seeds work together to maintain the existence of the Holy Fire."

The king walked over, his golden eyes also burning with dazzling light.

"We have reason to believe that when we fill all the eyes in the tree array, the legendary first fire will be ignited in Trorian!"

Rhodes' eyes widened.

"The First Fire? I remember it was just an unverifiable legend..."

Wang smiled and said: "We used to think so. Except for some ancient rumors, there was no evidence to prove its existence, but now, we have reason to think it is true."

Horus nodded and continued.

"We believe that at a certain time in the early Second Age, the black mist appeared, the gods fell, and the world was quickly eroded and fell into the abyss of darkness until the First Fire was ignited."

“We once found a broken stone tablet from the Second Age that read:

'We have won the victory once again, in the sky, on the earth, in the desert, in the desolate Gobi, in the endless sea, the light of fire shines to the end of the world, the twisted terror no longer exists, this long dark turmoil It's finally over. ’

If the description on the stone tablet is correct, then at a certain time in the Second Era, humans and gods must have achieved an unprecedented victory, and they even thought that the Black Mist was completely wiped out. "

Rhodes was deeply attracted by the Archbishop's words and couldn't help asking: "What happens next?"

Horus said solemnly: "We cannot study the subsequent history. We have not found any relics or relics that match the timeline. According to the past that our current historians have compiled and restored, that period of history seems to have been annihilated. Many years later, the era It jumped to the third age, the age of fire.”

"We don't know the ending of the First Fire. We only know that from the era of fire, gods ceased to exist. Legendary creatures such as giants, elves, goblins, and dragons also disappeared from the earth, and humans became the only ones. Intelligent creatures, also known as low-entropy bodies, have become accustomed to living under the protection of fire, and the earth is full of towns burning with protective fire."

"This is the end of the God's Era, and the beginning of the Human Era. With the Holy Fire and the Guardian Fire as the core, an epic heroic battle unfolds on the scroll. For thousands of years, countless human heroes have rushed forward and followed up, just for Guarding the light in their hearts, their blood spread all over the earth, and the roar of their souls echoed between heaven and earth, but in the end they still could not stop the erosion of the black mist, and mankind headed for destruction."

Horus paused for a moment, pulling his thoughts away from the tragic past.

"Through studying this period of history, we found that the original fire ended nowhere, but countless sacred fires and guardian fires suddenly appeared and spread all over the earth."

"It is said that at the height of the Era of Fire, the light of fire stretched across the sky and the earth, shining all the way to the other side of the endless sea."

"Then, do we have any reason to infer that so many sacred fires and guardian fires come from the original fire?"

Rhodes' heart sank and he quickly asked: "So, the First Fire is still extinguished?"

Horus shook his head slightly.

"We don't know what happened at the end of the Second Age to cause the near-complete victory of the gods to be destroyed, but we can boldly assume that under the powerful power of the First Fire, the legions of humans and gods were close to complete victory."

"Sudden destruction is an unimaginable thing, unless...there is some huge turning point."

Rhodes frowned.

"You mean, doomsday cultists?"

Horus looked serious and answered word for word:

"Yes, but they probably weren't called Doomsday Cultists at that time. They might be the origins of ancient evil thoughts."

"They tried their best to extinguish the initial fire."

"Rhode, you should know how troublesome it is to lose the protection of fire when fighting the black mist."

Rhodes nodded. He knew this very well. Without the protection of fire, people would not be able to persist in the black mist for too long.

Even he is no exception.

Horus continued: "Suppose that at this time, the human-god alliance happens to be fighting fiercely with the final power of the black mist, and the doomsday cultists extinguish the initial fire in the rear. What do you think will happen?"

Rhodes felt a chill in his heart and replied in a deep voice: "The entire army was wiped out!"

Horus looked at him solemnly.

"You are right. After the fire is extinguished, the black mist becomes unstoppable and spreads across the land like crazy. The world was eroded in a short period of time and fell into complete darkness."

"Perhaps, this is why it is so difficult for us to find historical relics. The civilization is close to destruction and nothing can survive."

Rhodes' heart sank and he instinctively retorted: "But if this is the case, how did humans survive after the death of gods? How did they create a prosperous and powerful Era of Fire?"

Horus said calmly: "This is the secret we need to find. What I just said is all speculation and speculation. If there is no definite evidence, it will always be just a guess."

"However, it is the best explanation for the existence of the Era of Fire. The initial fire split and became the sacred fire of many Fire King cities, and its fragments became the guardian fire. Although the power of fire It has been greatly weakened, but human beings have still created a glorious era.”

Suddenly, Rhodes realized what Horus wanted to say.

"You are saying that if we collect all the Holy Fire Seeds, we can ignite the initial fire in the Trorian King's City and achieve that complete victory again."

He paused and added carefully.

"As long as we carefully protect the original fire and don't repeat the same mistakes, can we win the final victory?"

Horus's face was trembling again, like a mole burrowing in the dead wood.

"Rod, although you look a bit like a child without intelligence at certain times, your brain always moves very fast at critical moments."

Rhodes' face darkened: "Archbishop, you are biased. I have always been the inheritor of wisdom."

Wang smiled and said: "Little Rod, you are so shameless. No one will praise yourself like this, except for the mentally retarded."

Rhodes's face immediately turned red and he argued: "This is wrong, you can't say that, King, in such darkness, confidence is more valuable than gold. Only when I have such confidence can I lead everyone to the final victory. "

Wang smiled even more happily: "As expected of you, I didn't misjudge the person."

Horus said with emotion: "Little Rhodes, your quality is really rare. I believe in Rovia's theory more and more."

He paused and continued.

"If a true king appears among us, then it is very possible for us to collect all the seeds of the Holy Fire back to Trorian."

"And this matter is not feasible in the era when fire is prosperous, because it is impossible for each Fire King city to extinguish its own holy fire, and therefore they cannot discover this secret."

"On the contrary, in the dark era when the fire is fading, it is possible that it did."

Horus looked at Rhodes with burning eyes, the expectation in his eyes was self-evident.

"That's why I say the True King can save us, save Trorian, save humanity."

"There is no being stronger than him."

Wang said softly.

"In ancient prophecies, darkness will end when the King of Thirst appears."

“And the true King is the King we long for.”

"From a certain perspective, this prophecy has an explanation."

Unconsciously, Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling his blood rushing and his heart beating fiercely.

This is an overwhelming feeling.

he asked, suppressing his excitement.

"King, Archbishop, can we find other Fire King cities?"

Wang nodded slightly.

"able."

"Of course, we still have to find the other three Fire King cities in the Dark Age first, whether they have been destroyed or not."

"Then we will find the royal city that was destroyed in the Era of Fire. At that time, it will be the real challenge."

Horus said: "The powerful human kingdoms in the Era of Fire are far beyond what we can compare to. Even the Kingdom of Stars cannot compare. Their King of Fire City is definitely more dangerous than Starry Sky City."

"As long as we can gather all the seeds of the Holy Fire, we will be able to ignite the Holy Fire, tear apart the black mist, and recreate a bright world."

Wang sighed: "We are in a desperate situation, but a unique hope appears. I have to say that this may really be the luck of fire. I hope the road to the true king is not completely cut off."

"certainly."

Wang changed the subject.

"Now, no one can have a glimpse of that legendary realm except me."

"Trolian still needs stronger power. Our development is always the most important. Only a strong Trolian can the legendary true king appear."

Rhodes asked: "King, what is restricting our development now?"

Wang replied: "Resources, technology, power."

"Little Rhodes, you should know that if there are enough resources, it is impossible for us to have only a few geniuses."

"What most lack is actually resources. Genius is the ability to make better use of resources. For example, you, little Rhodes, consume almost no resources. Just like the legendary cow, what you eat is grass, squeezed out It’s milk.”

Rhode's face turned dark. Can't you give another example?

Horus continued: "We need more resources and more combat power. The existing territory has greatly restricted our development. We must eliminate those kings who are eyeing Trollian as soon as possible. level monsters and gain greater room for development.”

Wang's face turned solemn.

"But destroying those king-level monsters requires a lot of combat power."

"In other words, our essence is that we lack combat power."
