The Last Dark King

Latest website: "Where does this come from?"

Percival came tremblingly to the pile of ore, touching it lightly with his fingers and then jerking them back as if they were hot.

"No, it's not an illusion, it's not a phantom, this is real ore."

He carefully picked up one of the pieces, put it in front of his eyes, rubbed it, touched it, licked it and bit it.

"There is no paint, full of spirituality, the breath of moonlight beats in the ore, the fragrance and quiet aftertaste are exactly the same, without any deviation, it is a moon stone, this is the best moon stone."

Percival dove into the pile of ore, licking and touching wildly, like a dog that had been hungry for a hundred days and saw a pile of dog shit.

"Hahaha, it's true, it's all true, every piece is true, the moon stone, the star stone, no damage, no missing pieces, full of spirituality, just like it was freshly baked!"

He jumped out of the ore pile like a beauty emerging from a bath and jumped in front of Rhodes.

"It's great, it's great, I can't express my excitement in words, you know? This is two hundred times that of Trorian's inventory and ten times that of Saint Rey! In the natural spirit stone veins, For every two hundred tons of ore, you can dig out natural star stones or moon stones as big as your fingernails. With so much pure ore, at least a hundred veins must be dug out!"

Rhodes was surprised: "Is it so rare?"

Percival held Rhode's hands and looked at him eagerly: "Of course, after the end of the Age of Fire, the method of making them was lost. We can only dig them from the ruins or dig them from the mineral veins! The ore has a square shape, different sizes but similar specifications. It is pure and free of impurities. It looks like it is artificially made. Which ruins did you dig it from?"

Rhodes nodded and detailed the recent excavation of ruins.

Percival's eyes were as wide as bells, and the wrinkles on his face were like blooming chrysanthemums:

"How is this possible? How did you sense it? How could someone do such a thing? Are you really an apostle sent by the Will of Fire? Tell me, does the Heaven of Fire really exist? Where are the Pope, Taxis, and Maud?"

Rhodes coughed and explained: "This is my fire ability...it allows me to sense all spiritual substances within the range."

Percival's head shook like a rattle.

"No, it's impossible. Some ruins are so deep. The earth is the best barrier to absorb all abnormal fluctuations, and you have dug out the ruins 100,000 yards below. What's more, some ruins are still affected by seals, so it is impossible to do it. "

Rhodes was at a loss for words when he suddenly let out a long sigh.

"I finally understand why you are regarded as a new star who brings hope among Trorian. It is precisely because you create such seemingly impossible miracles, do things that common sense cannot do, and clear the black fog. , defeating the terrifying monster is such an almost impossible thing, you let us see the glimmer of hope and let us know that nothing is impossible. "

Percival grinned, and used scalpel-like psychic power to accurately cut off a small piece of the Star Stone and Moon Stone, and then held them together with invisible psychic hands. The storage in the workshop The box opens on its own, and various materials and elements fly in from all directions and blend into it.

Huge heat began to be released, and Percival's psychic energy turned red visibly to the naked eye. At the same time, countless tiny tentacles were stretched out to stir and mix the materials.

Seeing this scene, Rhodes couldn't help but marvel. No wonder no one has learned his alchemy skills. The ability to manipulate psychic energy with one hand is beyond the reach of non-first-level combatants.

And the ability of psychic heating and volley preparation is unique to him.

"Sir Rhodes."

Percival said.

"The solvent will be prepared soon. It will make the utilization of pure star sources higher and produce faster. But it is a pity that although there are many stars in Trorian, the alchemy aspect is really poor. These One by one, the apprentices are all stupid idiots. If they want to prepare such a top-notch potion, they will have to learn for at least another twenty years... Of course, our existing star source will not be used by that time at all. It can also produce a thousand copies of pure star source potion."

Rhodes was surprised: "Just a thousand copies?"

Percival said seriously: "Yes, Lord Rhodes, in fact, this is already a lot. It is unimaginably difficult to obtain pure star sources. It is the purest star core power... Do you have any knowledge about the starry sky?" Do you understand?”

Rhodes mused: "The starry sky is the extremely high-level spiritual world. It is an infinitely large, infinite, and boundless huge plane. It is the highest space. It is extremely thin, and there is not much spiritual material flowing in it. It is close to a vacuum. Since it is the highest level, there is no pressure from the potential, so this plane is filled with countless spatial faults, folds and gaps."

Percival praised: "Your Excellency Rhodes's knowledge is really profound. Unlike those brainless warriors who just kill and kill every day and don't understand the importance of knowledge and truth... I ask you again, who knows the sun, moon and stars? Essence?”

Rhodes replied: "The sun, moon and stars move in extremely high orbits in the extremely high-level spiritual world. Hidden behind these faults and gaps, their essence is an infinite collection of spirits. The sun, moon and stars we see, In fact, it is their projection in the spiritual world. The sun, moon and stars have a huge influence on the operation of the universe, but this influence is indirect and long-lasting.”

Percival's face burst into laughter.

"Your Excellency Rhodes is absolutely right. Star source is the spiritual material born from these infinite collections of spirits. It can only be collected through extremely special methods. Even in the distant past when the starry sky was still pure, they were extremely precious. , and after the starry sky was polluted, the difficulty of obtaining them has increased dramatically, especially the pure star source, which is simply unimaginable. The Holy King has left us an extremely rich legacy."

Percival turned around and carefully poured the mixed solution in his psychic hand into the brewing star source potion.

There were obvious changes in the potion soup, a spiritual aura rushed to the face, and little rays of light shone in the hot water.

He completed this step seriously and said in a serious tone: "But now that the starry sky is seriously polluted, it is almost impossible to obtain it. Even if we are powerful in the future and can hold a star source ceremony, we can only condense a small amount of it." Ordinary Star Source.”

Rhodes' heart sank. He had already seen the power of pure star source potion. Whether it was Qingyu, Jon, Xingge, or other potential geniuses, they were all growing rapidly.

Trolian will make up for everything that was missing in a very short period of time.

However, there are only a thousand copies of such a powerful potion left.

You know, a person needs several copies in the process of growing up. There are so many people in Trolian, how can these one thousand copies be enough?

"Your Excellency Percival."

Rhodes suddenly had an idea and asked tentatively.

"If, I mean if... I, or one of us other than the king becomes the true king, can I go to the stars to get some more pure star sources?"

Percival shook his head: "I'm afraid not. First of all, the barriers and space gaps between the inner spiritual world and the outer spiritual world are extremely difficult to cross, let alone the high-level spiritual world and the extremely high-level spiritual world. Secondly, the spiritual world is not one Continuous space, moving in the spiritual world, needs to resist the pressure of the potential. The starry sky is the top layer of the potential, and the pressure to resist is unimaginable. Moreover, as you know, the starry sky is full of faults, folds and gaps, making it impossible to travel at all. ”

Rhodes frowned slightly: "But, both the Pope and the Holy King have entered the starry sky."

Percival said in a deep voice: "They entered in a spirit state. I can't imagine how their remaining spirits are fighting in the starry sky. The stars are in higher orbits in the starry sky. The far distances are unimaginable." , no existence can come close.”

"But how did the Holy King's star source condense?"

"This is what surprises me the most. The power of the Holy King is incredibly powerful. According to our analysis, at the beginning of the Era of Fire, the starry sky was already seriously polluted. It is no longer necessary to use the Star Source Ritual in the material world. It may be condensed into the pure star source, and the Holy King is likely to use the star source ritual in the starry sky.”

Rhodes was shocked, and Percival's words were like lightning that cut through the fog in his mind.

He suddenly realized that as long as he could overcome the plane barriers and space faults between the high-level spiritual world and the starry sky, it would still be possible to condense into a pure star source.

Although this is not what he can do now, relying on the power of dreams, maybe the future of realizing it is not far away.

Rhodes was so excited that he had all kinds of thoughts coming and going, and he even forgot how he came out of the alchemy workshop.

When he came to his senses, he was already back on the bed where the Black Legion was stationed.

Endless sleepiness suddenly enveloped his spirit, and the fatigue of days of fighting swept over his heart. Rhodes' mind went blank and he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

A golden light flashed in front of Rhodes' eyes, and a line of text floated past his eyes.

Provide rare resources, enhance the overall power of the Orderly, bring hope, divinity +180

good!

Rhodes suddenly clenched his fists.

The "Star Stone" and "Moon Stone" brought him divinity beyond imagination, and this was only one-third of the total resources he dug out from the ruins.

Very good!

If calculated according to this ratio, I can still gain at least 360 points of divinity!

This time I made a lot of money.

Not only that, but there is also the excavation and reuse of the Asdala ruins, and there will definitely be divinity in the future.

The "Qi of Destiny" is simply invincible!

I must find out the giant's past.

Rhodes jumped up in one step and rushed straight to Jinworth Academy before he could say hello to anyone.

This is the highest academic organization in Trorian, and scholars throughout the capital study their respective theories in this society.

Fortunately, the great scholars Rhodes is familiar with, including Amides, Professor Binns, and Professor Barrett, are all in the society. They each have their own areas of expertise, but they are all good at history.

There is no scholar in the entire royal city who is not good at it. Studying the past is the most popular among all schools of thought.

When Rhodes walked into their academic hall, Professor Amides, Professor Binns, and Professor Barrett were discussing the end of the Era of Fire and the beginning of the Dark Age.

Professor Binns said: "When the five human heroes escaped from Asdegas, the last city of the Fire King, they took away five sacred fire seeds. According to legend, these are the only five remaining King cities in the Dark Age."

"Among them, Starry Sky City had collapsed thousands of years ago, and Saint Rael had just been destroyed. Besides us, there should be two Fire King cities."

Professor Barrett said pessimistically: "The possibility of their survival is very small. It is likely that they will be destroyed early like Star City."

"Not necessarily." Amides put forward an objection: "Saint Rey can last for 1,800 years, and the other two Fire King cities may also be able to do so. Although the decline of human beings has led to a significant decline in overall strength, but' "Humanity's special beings have to gather among the remaining civilizations, so whether it's Star City, Saint Rey, or us, we all have countless geniuses."

Professor Barrett shook his head slightly: "Your Excellency Amides, this is the source of my pessimism. Although due to the loss of history, we cannot know what Trorian was like long ago, but in recent decades, we have The number of geniuses has increased dramatically. Does this represent another terrifying prospect? All human beings have perished and only us are left."

Amides' tone couldn't help but become a little heavier, but he still expressed his objection.

"This kind of inference can only be used as a hypothesis. The operating mechanism of human life is completely unknown to us, but I think they should be a macroscopic mechanism that will continue to be effective for a long period of time. Twenty or thirty years is a long time from a human perspective, but it is very short for those human beings who are constantly reincarnating. Just like ancient evil thoughts, it is unlikely to be reincarnated immediately after destruction."

"And over a long period of time, they have had a great positive effect on mankind. Trorian faced the crisis of extinction several times, but survived in the end. It may not be impossible for them."

Professor Barrett nodded slightly: "Your Excellency Amides is right. Your wisdom is indeed profound, but if this is the case, it will have a certain impact on our plan to gather the seeds of the Holy Fire. They will definitely not give up the Holy Fire." , and may even compete with us for the Holy Fire."

Amides smiled and said: "This is not a bad thing. Professor Barrett, the main holy fire seed, was left on the main continent. It is an extremely remote and dangerous depth of darkness. I believe that there has even become a dark place." At the center of the world, with their help, we can gather the seeds of the Holy Fire from the Age of Fire more quickly. As for the future, rekindling the First Fire in that civilization is a matter that can be discussed. If there is If necessary, it is also possible for Troli to move abroad.”

Professor Barrett and Professor Binns were shocked. They were both extremely intelligent scholars. They quickly understood what Amides was thinking. Although it was a pity to abandon their homeland, if they could survive the first fire, then what would happen? Not necessarily.

Even Rhodes, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but admire: "Your Excellency Amides's wisdom is so profound. If you save people, you will lose people. If you save people, you will lose people. What's more, We don’t think we have lost ground.”

The three great scholars all cast surprised glances.

Amides smiled and said: "Your Excellency Rhodes's wisdom is also very high. I can't say such exquisite words."

Professor Barrett blurted out: "When did you become so smart? I remember you were not a fool before?"

Professor Binns coughed and said, "Professor Barrett is too impatient. Sir Rhodes, please don't pay attention."

Rhodes didn't pay attention. When he wasn't used to this place, he was a little dazed, but now he has changed his mind.

What's more, he has become a powerful king, and no matter how stupid he is, he is still as wise as a fool.

"Your Excellency, three great scholars, I came here with some discoveries and some questions that I would like to discuss with you."

The faces of the three people became serious. They knew that what the powerful king wanted to discuss with them must be extraordinary.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, but still used spiritual energy to isolate the area, and then told them everything he had experienced in the illusion of [Giant Power], citing the ruins excavated in the Great Dragon City.

There was nothing to hide, except for the giant high priest who called out his name. After all, this should be the effect of tampering.

This unprecedented amount of information rushed towards them, and the three scholars fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, Professor Binns was the first to speak: "So, the Giant King Omir is the only true king among the giants besides the ancestor? Its whereabouts have not been found so far?"

Rhodes nodded.

The three scholars looked at each other and fell silent again, but their eyes were not silent, as if they could communicate and were having a heated discussion.

This time it took an extra long time, but when they spoke again, they seemed to have come to a conclusion.

"Sir Rhodes, according to our inference, the past you found should have occurred before the Battle of the Giants' Court, and the Battle of the Giants' Court was at the end of the Second Era."

"Based on the information we have obtained during this period, we learned that there were three devastating battles at the end of the Second Era, the Battle of the Giant King's Court, the Battle of the Holy Tree, and the Battle of the Starfall. The latter two battles were both fought when the defeat was already decided. The most critical battle was the Battle of the Giants' Court, and its failure led to the end of the Second Era."

"but."

As soon as these two words were said, the expressions of the three of them became extremely serious.

"The Ancient Era was an extremely long era. Before the three major destructive battles, and at the end of this era, there was another horrific battle. It seemed to have led to the death of many gods, most likely including the ancestors of the giants."

Rhodes was shocked: "Are you saying that the ancestor of the giants died long ago and was dismembered and sealed on five continents?"

Amides nodded slightly: "Yes, if it is inferred like this, the soul ripples obtained by the Giant King Omir can be explained. They were those of the Red God of War Beacles who died in an earlier disaster. Soul Ripples.”

Professor Binns said: "With this inference, many difficult questions can be explained. For example, the birth of human beings and ancient evil thoughts are likely to have been born in that era. I call it the pre-god era."

Professor Barrett said: "In the Age of Later Gods, there were only four righteous gods, seven subordinate gods, and legendary creatures such as giants, dragons, and elves. After the three major destruction battles, all the gods and legendary creatures All living things perished, and only humans survived."

"Although the specific process is unknown, we now know that that period was sustained by the Holy King. After the end of the Holy King, mankind began to truly move towards glory and established the Third Era known as the Age of Man."

"Its glory lasted until the end of the Third Era, when it fell apart in an unknown disaster. As the five human heroes escaped from Asdegas, the last city of the Fire Lord, the Fourth Era, the Dark Era, began."

Rhodes stood there, and the historical scroll was slowly unfolding towards him. The magnificent scene rushed towards him, and the majestic epic echoed in his ears. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and dizzy.

Yes, the battle against the black mist has penetrated the entire history of the material world. I don’t know how many tragic battles, how many thrilling times, how much flesh and blood and how many souls have been sacrificed for mankind to reach this point today.

Rhodes suddenly understood that the supreme will, the strange ancestors, human demons, such terrifying existences all existed in the era of gods.

No wonder there were such special existences as "Human Life" and "Ancient Evil Thoughts" at that time.

The same is true for dreams!

Rhodes clenched his fists. For the first time, he felt a heavy burden on his shoulders. He also understood more clearly what it means to have a long way to go.

Afterwards, Rhodes spent an afternoon talking with three big scholars, going over every detail of what happened inside.

When he left the Jinworth Institute, he felt that his thinking had become much clearer and many doubts in his mind had dissipated.

He made an agreement with three big scholars to inform them immediately if there is any new progress.

——

This day has been extremely fulfilling, but Rhodes' things are not over yet.

Today's portal is not in use yet, this cannot be wasted.

Although his spiritual power had not recovered much, Rhodes still rushed to the next area, the "Morgue" in the south.

This place is also full of undead monsters. It is said that there are hundreds of millions of corpses piled up from a massacre in the Age of Fire. Under the erosion of the black mist, these countless corpses have naturally given birth to countless monsters.

These monsters are extremely ferocious in an environment full of undead aura and black fog, causing great trouble to Trorian's expansion.

But for Rod, this is the area that suits him best.

When the light of the holy fire illuminates the battlefield, the black mist disappears in an instant, all the filth is burning, and the combat effectiveness of the undead monsters drops sharply. The human army kills from south to north like chopping melons and vegetables, destroying the "morgue" "The most ferocious undead monsters were killed.

Rhodes did not make a big killing, but only took a few shots, specifically harvesting souls, and gained a lot.

Three hours later, the main obstacles in the "Morgue" had been cleared, and the rest was up to the warriors. Rhodes returned to the royal city and continued to rest.

Within the scope of the holy fire, the speed of spiritual energy recovery is always faster.

This seems to be due to the deep purification of the world by the holy fire.

Back on the bed at the station, when the tired Rhodes was about to fall asleep, suddenly, the Book of the Future jumped out of the bookshelf.

"Owner!"
