The Last Dark King

The moment he finished speaking, the fat red-haired man's face darkened.

"You ignorant country bumpkins, don't pretend to have amnesia. I've heard that Red Rock Village has been abolished and the outer defense line has shrunk. You are the abandoned ones, so you are a homeless wild dog now, right? So? You just want to hang out with the savages who raise cattle, right?”

Wayne's entire face turned red and he clenched his fists. Rhodes felt confused. Is this person sick? Isn’t that what you said about human feces? I said, why are you still angry?

But he has always been cautious and steady in doing things, never being impulsive.

In this case, it would be unwise to offend someone before entering the academy.

Thinking of this, Rhodes stood up and said with a smile: "You are right, wild dogs and savages go very well with human feces, making them perfect friends."

He extended his hand to him, but the fat red-haired man was enraged and rushed towards him.

Rhodes dodged nimbly, and the fat man tripped onto a bench and fell to his knees.

The strange noise here suddenly attracted a lot of attention.

"You saw it!"

Rhodes raised his hands.

"I didn't do anything! He accidentally tripped and fell."

The fat man got up angrily, and the blond girl Kashan not far away shouted: "If you fight again, I will call the priest!"

This sentence had an immediate effect. The fat man glanced hard at Rod and Wayne and said, "Just wait." He quickly turned around and slipped away.

The side hall was quiet for a while, and then the voices gradually returned.

Rhodes lifted up the bench, sat down again, and complained: "Do you think this man is sick? He said he called people shit, and I said he was still angry. It was a waste of my time."

Wayne looked at him with a heroic look, remembering that he had lost his memory, and hurriedly explained.

"Rod, you can't pronounce this name with emphasis. His name is Habrin. If you accentuate the nasal sound, it will turn into human feces. Manolo Bana is the surname of an upper-class noble. This shows that his family system is very large and has produced many children." Those who hold the fire have connections in all major government offices, key institutions, and legions.”

"Oh, what about the House of Lords? Does he have one too?"

When he heard the name, Wayne shrank suddenly, and then asked curiously: "Why did you mention this agency? The Internal Affairs Adjudication Agency is a very powerful department, directly under the jurisdiction of the new king, and no one can interfere."

"New king? Where is the old king?"

Wayne choked:

"It's the old king. He has returned to the Holy Fire a long time ago. The new king has been in office for more than ten years, but his new laws are very different from before, so everyone sometimes calls him that."

Just when Rhodes was about to ask again, suddenly a powerful horn sound came from the distance, and the noisy voices in the side hall were instantly drowned out.

Everyone stood up, knowing that the final test was about to begin.

Their faces were pale and very nervous, but the blonde girl Kashan strode out.

Everyone followed her unconsciously and followed her into the main hall in the center.

This is a grand hall full of solemnity. The complicated patterns and huge statues bring a heavy sense of oppression.

A huge golden Holy Grail was placed in the center of the hall, and golden fire burned in the Holy Grail.

Next to the Holy Grail sat an old man wearing a red robe. His face was wrinkled and he looked like he was asleep.

There were many Hong Doufeng priests standing around, and one of them shouted: "Whoever the chief priest calls out his name will step forward and place his right hand on the Holy Grail. No one is allowed to take it off before receiving clear instructions."

Rhodes looked at the burning Holy Grail and felt a little timid.

Wayne whispered: "Is it going to be hot?"

"Only monsters feel hot." Hamblin mocked on the side: "You don't even know this? Country bumpkin."

Wayne's whole face turned red: "But it looks very hot..."

"Raines of Iron Cross."

A low, hoarse voice interrupted their whispers.

A little red-haired man ran up and put his hand on the Holy Grail.

As expected, the hot metal did not burn his hand. The little man stood quietly in front of the Holy Grail, motionless.

About thirty seconds later, his whole body suddenly burned, with crimson flames licking his skin and gently swaying like a loose robe.

The priest said: "Very good, you can take your hand off. Your soul is very hot, like dry wood. The process of lighting it is very smooth. You will become a powerful fire bearer."

Raines looked thrilled, and a priest took him aside.

"Lil Hawkeye of Copperhammer Street."

A little fat man ran up, and this time it took a while for the flames to light up from his body.

"Yes, you can go."

"Frank from Mushroom City."

A tall, thin man walked up. This time it took a long time, and the flames did not ignite from him.

When everyone thought they had failed, the priest said: "It's okay, your soul is a little lubricated, but the Holy Grail still leaves the fire in your body. As long as you train hard, you will become an excellent fighter. Think of Alan." "

Frank almost burst into tears and burst into tears.

The waiting teenagers also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as they thought.

Soon, the first elimination appeared.

He was reluctant to leave for a long time, and cried so loudly when he was dragged out that he could still hear it even from a distance.

Then the second, and the third.

When the fourth one appeared, tragedy happened.

This was a small man with black hair. When he touched the Holy Grail, he jerked back as if his hand had been burned.

In an instant, all the priests turned their gazes over.

The two men immediately rushed over and pushed him to the ground.

The officiant raised his hand gently, and a ray of fire flew out of the Holy Grail and swept across his body.

The priest raised his head and looked at the officiant.

He shook his head slightly.

"The corruption has gone deep." The priest pulled him up and took out a small red ball, "Eat it."

"No - no." The boy cried heartbreakingly, "Why me? I didn't, please, please, let me go back. My father died in the mining accident and my mother was eaten by evil spirits. When I found her, only half of her body was left, and one hand was still holding the money bag. I broke off the finger before taking it out. I am their hope, I can't die, I can't die!"

He struggled like a madman.

The priest shouted: "Do you want to become a monster?"

The boy jerked.

"My, my ashes..." he asked tremblingly, "can I put the guardian fire in it? It belongs to our village."

"Can."

The boy grabbed the ball suddenly and swallowed it in one gulp.

Fierce flames rushed out of him from the inside out, quickly burning him to ashes.

The priest put the ashes in a red box and took them down.

The ceremony continued, but the hall became quiet and there was no sound at all.

Rhodes' heart was in his throat and he felt very bad, but he had no choice but to go back on his word at this time.

Soon, the voice of the officiant rang.

"Rhode of Red Rock Village."

At the moment when the matter came to an end, Rhodes calmed down.

He took a deep breath, walked up, and placed his hand on the huge Holy Grail.

very hot.

Rhodes' heart suddenly sank, but his face remained calm at all, just like those successful people, quietly pressing their hands on the Holy Grail.

The hot temperature penetrated from the Holy Grail, and his palms felt like thousands of needles pricking them. The pain kept provoking his nerves. Rhodes gritted his teeth and remained motionless.

After about a few minutes, Rhodes noticed that the officiant moved.

He opened his eyelids and glanced at him, there seemed to be confusion in his cloudy eyes.

Rhodes was extremely nervous. If the officiant noticed something was wrong with him, it would be useless no matter how he pretended.

When he was anxious, suddenly, a huge roar came from outside the hall.

The officiant stood up in an instant. His rickety and thin body exuded a power that could not be ignored. Rhodes felt as if there was a giant standing in front of him.

boom!

Another loud noise came, and all the firelight in the hall was extinguished, leaving only the Holy Grail still emitting a warm red glow.

"Everyone, stay where you are and don't move! No matter what happens, don't go out!"

A priest shouted, and his body turned into a stream of light and rushed out of the hall, while the chief priest and other priests had already disappeared.

The hall became dark, and everyone felt uneasy in the shadows. They moved closer unconsciously, hoping to gain more security.

Only Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd. He had already made up his mind to give up if things couldn't be done.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in a white robe returned to the main hall and said loudly: "Those who have passed the final test follow me, and those who have not yet passed the final test stay where they are."

He quickly cleared the people out, but for some reason, he pulled Rod into the team.

The fat red-haired man Hambrin shouted: "Your Majesty the Archbishop, he failed!"

Rhodes was shocked and was about to admit that he failed the test.

The white-robed archbishop turned his head, with a red light flashing in his eyes, as if he was recognizing him. After a few seconds, he angrily yelled: "Shut up! Don't make trouble!"

Hambrin shouted aggrievedly: "I didn't cause any trouble, he did not pass, and the officiant didn't admit it!"

The archbishop's expression turned dangerous.

"Hablin, if you try to deceive me again, I will punish you. Whatever grudges you have, please don't bring them to official duties."

"This is our rule."

Hamblin closed his mouth, looking like he had eaten a ton of shit.

No one spoke anymore. The archbishop waved his hand, and white light enveloped them, turning into a meteor and flying out of the main hall.
