The Last Dark King

Latest website: The journey was very smooth. Many people in the team had walked this route opened by Liszt many times, so they were familiar with it.

Even with non-combatants, it only took them less than three hours to walk out of the territory of Trolian and officially enter the dark world.

The air became solemn, the smell of decay and death rushed towards the face, and the black mist became significantly thicker. Every wisp of mist seemed to be alive, twisting and leaping, like countless insects.

This weird and terrifying thing gradually calmed down the heated atmosphere in the team. Everyone recalled what kind of behemoth they were facing, and what a harsh, cruel and terrifying world they were facing.

Human beings are like orphans in the boundless wilderness, trembling in the darkness and madness, and no longer feel safe except huddled around the campfire.

Guardian Ye Feng asked softly: "How far is our journey?"

Horus glanced at the astrolabe in his hand and replied: "There are two sections on the astrolabe. The first section is 3,700 thousand yards, and the second section is 800,000 yards, for a total of 4,500 thousand yards."

Even though many people had known it for a long time, they still let out shocked gasps.

4,500 thousand yards. There is no doubt that this is a very far distance. According to their concept, it is an extremely deep dark world.

Traveling into such a deep world of darkness is extremely rare in the entire history of Trollian.

Rhodes suddenly asked: "What is the situation of Liszt and the others now? Have they started to contact the people of Saint Reyer? Why do they need our reinforcements?"

Horus's expression became solemn, and he thought for a while before replying:

"No, in fact we did not get specific information. Psychic transmission after going deep into the darkness is very difficult. Every word transmitted back is worth tens of thousands of gold... Therefore, the message received by the Holy Fire Sacrifice actually only has two words. Support, and an astrolabe map.”

Rhodes frowned: "Then how do you know they found Saint Rey?"

A senior investigator explained: "This is inferred based on our established code words."

“It is very inconvenient to convey information in the depths of darkness, so we often use simplified messages. In addition to simplified text, we will use the next stage of action to tacitly acknowledge the success of the previous stage, such as requesting the second step in the attack plan. location, it means that the first location has been captured, with few casualties, and the ability to continue fighting."

Rhodes frowned even deeper: "Then how do you know that they have found a new Fire King City and are not in danger?"

The senior investigator replied solemnly: "Sir Rhodes, in such a deep dark world, if we encounter irresistible danger, we will not be able to rescue in time, let alone there are three Sons of Fire in the team. If they don't After finding Saint Rey, when the supplies are close to being exhausted, we will definitely turn back along the original path.”

"The basic principle of opening a route in the dark is to avoid danger. They will not risk fighting. If the danger cannot be avoided, they will choose to return, just like last time."

"It is impossible for the Legion Commander to make such a stupid mistake in the team."

"After rigorous inference and analysis, we believe that there is only one possibility that they will call for reinforcements, that is, they have discovered substantial clues about Saint Rael, or they have been in contact with people from the Saint Rael Kingdom, and the Royal City needs to send a representative team as soon as possible."

"The astrolabe map sent back specially is evidence of this."

Rhodes was silent, his analysis was correct, but it was not the truth after all, which made people feel somewhat unsure.

Qingyu noticed his worries and comforted him: "Little Rhodes, don't worry. Liszt and the three Sons of Fire are all in the team, so things won't go too far."

Rhodes nodded, no longer thought about it, and hurried on his way.

In the dream, the book of knowledge and the doll were also very concerned about this matter.

For them, when they wake up, the Age of Fire has ended, and only the weak Trorian Kingdom is left in humanity.

What happened during these thousand years? Whether there are other human beings surviving in this dark era is an important question related to the future of the master and the recovery of the dream.

The bold action in the ice prison completely exposed the dream. The huge disturbance will surely usher in a terrifying backlash. The Black Mist Demon is still in the process of invading. The crisis in the dream is far from over. The master must fight as soon as possible. Only by digesting the fragments taken back from the Ice Prison and further controlling stronger power can we survive the coming storm.

The same goes for Asa, who often comes over to observe his master's surroundings in the middle of his sleep.

"Master, this time there seems to be no interference from ancient evil thoughts. I don't detect the atmosphere of conspiracy."

"Well, that's not right. What are the three powerful ancient evil thoughts doing? Are they afraid of being beaten by me during this time?"

"Hahaha, that's right! I swallowed several low-level evil thoughts in a row. They must have been afraid and hid them temporarily."

"Master, there must be evil thoughts in that new human kingdom. You should bring that cold woman here, so that you can help me find those bedbugs faster. I'll bite them one by one..."

Rhodes said casually: "Crack?"

Asa laughed wildly and said: "Yes, the master is right, it's crunchy! Just like dried human flesh, just like picked out bones."

"That's good advice."

Rhodes praised.

"But it won't work this time. Mavis is needed on the southwest front. White Wolf has placed her in an excellent position to maximize her role. Cass and Annabeth are also there. Molly is stationed for the battle. The training members of the regiment cannot accompany us. When we establish diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Saint Rey, there will be such an opportunity. I will definitely set off the same cleaning frenzy in Saint Rey as in Trorian, and remove all the maggots from it. Sweep it out of the dark corners, and you will have a good meal."

Asa looked very happy, and his tone was full of expectation.

"Master, you are indeed the greatest. No one is greater than you. Breaking away from the Supreme Will and defecting to the Master is the most correct decision I have made in thousands of years! Hahahaha, I can't wait any longer!"

Even the Book of the Future, which has always been quiet, jumped out to speak.

"I predicted your future. Although I didn't find anything special, I feel that you will definitely achieve a huge victory again, just like every time before. Unfortunately, my power is too weak. If I can control it again The power of destiny may be able to show you a clear future..."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Book of the Future, you will regain control of the power of destiny. Well... give yourself a name. We all have names, and you should have one too."

The Book of the Future suddenly fell into confusion, what should I call it?

It was thinking about this problem and fell into deep sleep again without knowing it.

For some reason, since the bookshelf became full, it always felt so sleepy, as if it had endless sleep.

In this way, about a day later, Rhodes returned to the ancient city. The tower of the evil ancient god Byatis once again appeared in front of him, but the wall of black mist had disappeared, and the surrounding black mist had also recovered. Normally, since the Star Marrow Altar was moved, the special monsters also disappeared.

Rhodes briefly introduced the ancient city and the last battle in the ancient city to everyone.

Two great scholars, Professor Binns and Professor Barrett, briefly investigated the ancient city and said: "This is indeed the divine city of the ancient era. In that era, the evil ancient god was not the righteous god, so his divine city could only be built In such a remote place, there are not many believers under the protection, probably no more than five million people."

Rhodes asked curiously: "Is He powerful? Is He a real God?"

Professor Binns glanced at him in surprise: "We have no way of inferring this. We still have very little information about the ancient times."

Professor Barrett said: "The span of this era is quite long, and it has also experienced changes in the Age of Fire. There is very little information left. We currently only know the difference between ancient gods and ancient gods. Among the ancient gods, there are four Strong gods, thirteen righteous gods, these seventeen gods constitute the main system in the post-ancient period."

"As for the ancient gods, because the time is too far away and there are gaps in the middle, we know very little about it. We only know that there was an ancient sun god from fragments on some ruins."

Rhodes nodded. He actually knew this. He had also killed an ancient Sun God's corrupted envoy. It was not very strong.

"Perhaps Saint Rael knows more about the Old Gods."

A glimmer of light flashed across Barrett's face: "Yes, we have too many unknowns and too many questions about this world, about the black fog, and about the history that has sunk in the long river of time. I am very much looking forward to meeting Saint Communication in the Realm of Rael.”

Professor Binns' cloudy eyeballs shone brightly in the firelight: "The moment I unlock them will be the most glorious second in my life."

Horus breathed out: "I hope there are enough strong people in Saint Rael, at least not weaker than us."

"Not always."

Qingyu smiled.

"Although we can't compare with humans in the Age of Fire, in the Dark Age, maybe we are the strongest?"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Yes, geniuses like me are rare."

This sentence made the atmosphere relaxed, and everyone had a faint smile on their lips, although they still hoped that Saint Rey would be stronger, so that Trorian would have a powerful ally.

But if Saint Rey is not so strong, they will not be disappointed.

The team bypassed the ancient city, and they saw the mark left by Liszt under the sacred tower, which showed that the interior of the sacred tower had been plundered and there was no value for exploration.

This discovery once again boosted the morale of the team, and everyone continued to move forward, quickly entering the second section of the route.

The route was eight hundred thousand yards long, leading deeper into darkness.

Along the way, the black mist did not thicken further, but it did not weaken either.

Rhodes asked doubtfully: "Is the Royal City of Saint Rey really here?"

"Perhaps we are too far away," said Horus.

Trolian's holy fire, after being greatly enhanced, has a range of influence of more than a thousand and a thousand yards.

Saint Rey's royal city may be a thousand yards away.

It's also possible that their Holy Fire isn't as powerful as Trorian's.

It took another half a day before everyone finally walked the last eight hundred thousand yards.

Horus looked at the astrolabe in his hand and said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is the end of the route, our destination."

"But."

Rhodes looked around. They were on a barren mountain, surrounded by barren land. Thick black mist rolled maliciously around them, without any fire or trace of anyone.

"Where are they?"

Qingyu guessed: "Maybe he encountered something urgent and didn't have time to leave a mark. He hurriedly sent us the astrolabe map and information and left."

Horus nodded: "His Highness's guess is very reasonable. Let's continue moving forward."

He took out an exquisite lantern from his arms.

"This is a special spiritual lamp that can detect the breath of living creatures from a long distance. The price of using it is very high. It must be dripped with the king's blood... But now, it is time to use it."

He took out a bright red phlogiston and skillfully added it to the lantern.

The archbishop is not only an archbishop, but also a senior fire keeper. This time the team not only carried hundreds of afterglows and embers, but also a tinder of the guardian fire, but it was not ignited.

Horus will ignite this fire under certain circumstances to provide powerful support to the party, but will not do this in the depths of darkness, as this will attract more monsters.

With the addition of phlogiston, the fire in the lantern was strong, and the bright red light radiated out, and then turned into an orange color.

This is the breath of life.

"Let's go."

Horus said.

"The team enters combat mode, giving priority to protecting the lantern."

The team continued to move forward, the light of the blood lantern shrouding the team.

Everyone felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Rhodes couldn't help but ask the Book of Knowledge and the Doll in his mind: "Have you discovered anything?"

The Book of Knowledge shook his head: "No, Saint Rey may not exist."

The puppet objected: "My intuition tells me that it exists, as long as we look for it patiently."

Asa stared at the blood lantern for a long time, and suddenly said: "Master, I discovered that this lantern has a fatal flaw. A large amount of its energy leaks out, and a lot of power that has not yet been digested is also lost. This has a great impact It’s efficient, and I just make up for that.”

Rhodes was surprised: "Are you sure?"

"Of course!" Asa smiled and said: "Master, give them a little shock of swallowing the King of Shit."

Rhodes didn't want to recall what happened after that. Repairing the blood lantern required special materials. Asa asked Rhodes to make some on the spot and then glued them to the lantern.

If Rhodes hadn't explained quickly, Horus would have thought that his soul had been eroded and darkened, and he was about to go crazy.

But after the lantern exuding fresh air was returned to Horus's hand, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"My detection range has increased significantly! Oh my god, it's at least 90,000 yards! A radius of 90,000 yards! It's expanded more than fifty times!"

Everyone was shocked, including well-informed academics and senior researchers.

No one could have imagined that their strongest rising star could actually have such a function.

But what was even more shocking was what happened next. After repairing the blood lantern, not long after walking, the lantern responded. The bright red aura began to boil, forming an arrow, pointing to the southeast!

Horus's mouth widened and he couldn't believe it. This meant that they had discovered a living creature!

At this moment, the entire team was excited!

"It must be Liszt and the others!"

Horus said firmly.

"Let's hurry over and join them."

The team picked up speed, and after about a quarter of an hour.

"We're here!" Horus shouted, "It's right in front."

He couldn't wait to light the remaining fire, and a bright fire dispelled the dark fog and illuminated the road ahead.

However, under the firelight, it was not Liszt and the others.

Instead, there were corpses on the ground. The ground was dyed red with blood, and black mist was swirling above it. Some corpses had already shown obvious signs of decay.

Everyone's hearts tightened for a moment.

Snapped!

The bright red arrows dissipated, the blood lantern returned to calm, and the breath of life disappeared.
