The Last King of Darkness

The Last King of Darkness Chapter 268 May the flame and money protect us forever

When Churcher returned to the hotel where the team stayed, Elder Palos was already waiting for him at the door.

"How?" he asked coldly.

Churcher smiled and said: "Your Excellency Palos, Rhodes is very, very stubborn. I have to use all my strength to persuade him to talk. Don't be **** tomorrow, you must remember to let him. Otherwise, it will be backed up for you, and you will not be easy to explain when you go back."

Palos snorted: "How can you get so much **** from a hairy boy?"

Churcher said with a serious look: "Your Excellency Elder, he is not an ordinary person. In such a short period of time, Fanxing Town has made great efforts. His prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is not only the legacy of Lord Theodore that can be done. It's here."

"You can't simply think that he is just a lucky guy. If you don't handle it well, this matter will definitely cause a lot of trouble. As the former army commander of the expedition army, you definitely don't want to fail at night, right?"

Palos snorted, did not answer, turned and returned to the room.

Churchell secretly took a sip in the back, thinking that tomorrow I must cooperate with Little Rhodes to squeeze all your **** out.

the next day.

Everyone came to the Ghost Lake as if nothing had happened.

I can't feel anything related to the word "ghost" here.

The light of the guardian fire spreads all over the area, the towering holy white tree brings the breath of life, the fertile land is full of peasants cultivating, the priests of life are praying under the holy white tree, surrounded by some similar Common small animals such as nine-headed dogs and ten-tailed cats.

The clear lake water reflects the firelight, and a few small boats float on the lake surface. If you ignore the cleaners on the shore who are salvaging the corpses and debris at the bottom of the lake, the whole scene is quite poetic.

The Sun Crystal Mine is at the foot of a hill on the west side.

The entrance is quite splendidly built, and the starry emblem of the Starry Kingdom is printed on the mine gate, indicating that it has been silent for fifteen hundred years.

But it doesn't feel stale, and it looks like it was working yesterday.

According to historians and archaeologists, this mine was covered by the Starry Kingdom with a special astral barrier as early as sixteen hundred years ago, where they limited the changes in the physical and astral worlds. field, so that this ore vein is actually in a superposition state of the material world and the spiritual world.

If it is not removed, it is impossible to find out.

And if Rhodes hadn't mastered the manipulation of the spiritual world, it would have been impossible to find this mine.

When introducing the details of this mine, Molly quietly added a lot of private goods to show Rhodes' role in this matter.

Palos said nothing with a cold face.

However, when they finished inspecting the mine, his expression became a little unbearable.

The preservation of this ore vein is quite good. The former Starry Kingdom loves it very much, and the mining of the ore vein is as careful as archaeology.

The entire mine has not suffered any irreversible damage, the shafts are neat and orderly, and the pits are scattered, not like a mine at all, just like an exquisite underground city.

You know, mining the sun crystal lode is a very troublesome thing.

Due to the strong power, once the solar crystal is separated from the ore body, it will become very unstable, metamorphism, pollution, explosion, and energy discharge, which are all very prone to accidents.

The exploration, stripping, and excavation of the entire ore vein must be very cautious.

Although this ore vein has been mined halfway, the legacy of the Star Kingdom can greatly reduce their energy in the early stage.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mine itself is invaluable.

Palos coughed and said with a kind face: "Your Excellency Rhodes, your merits will be firmly remembered in the Royal City, and we will definitely meet your requirements."

Rhode said with a smile: "Really? That's great. It just so happens that the First Elder, Your Excellency Armando, has worked hard for the Royal City for so many years, and it's time to take a break. I have made such a great contribution, so let me sit with the First Elder. the location."

The wrinkles on Palos' entire face were crowded together.

He has a typical long face, with a prominent chin and crooked wrinkles that look like the whole face is crooked.

"Smelly... Lord Lord, please don't joke, my words are sincere..."

Rhodes smiled unabated.

"My words are also very sincere. Look, the true silver mines provide one-fifth of the real silver output for the king's city. The sun crystal mines are even more cherished. Look again, this prosperous town of stars, how much this is A large living space has accommodated hundreds of thousands of people for the royal city, which has greatly eased the pressure on the royal city and made an indelible contribution to mankind."

"And I, who have made such great achievements, can't I become the first elder?"

The wrinkles on his face could no longer hold back the blue veins that burst out under his skin. Palos was about to scold him when Churcher poked his **** in the back and whispered.

"Calm down, Elder Palos, think about what I said yesterday."

Palos took a deep breath and forced himself to look kind.

"Your Excellency Rhodes, the first elder must be an old man of high moral standing, senior, well-respected, and able to convince the public. Your Excellency Armando fully meets the above conditions, so he was elected as the first elder. You are still young... "

Rhode asked curiously, "Is there an age requirement for the first elder?"

Molly immediately replied: "There are no relevant regulations in Wangcheng."

Anger flashed in Palos' eyes, but he still forced himself to suppress his tone and said, "Lord Rhodes, please forgive me for not being able to agree to this request. We can't do it. You can change to another request."

Rhodes said: "Elder, you just said that you can meet my requirements, but you can't agree when you turn your head. I really can't trust people who talk like this, so let Wangcheng be replaced by someone else."

Palos said angrily: "You don't want to be shameless! Your king has been closed in the sacred fire sacrificial ground for more than a month, and he still doesn't know when he will come out. Now the elders have the final say in the Supreme Council. I will give it to you. What if it is forcibly expropriated? This is the rule of the king's city, don't you want to rebel?"

Churcher also said: "Little brother Rhodes, Elder Palos is right at all. If you keep dragging it on, it will be difficult for His Majesty to come out."

Palos' face suddenly darkened, thinking that this reckless man is really mindless, and choosing him to accompany him is simply a mistake.

He coughed, his tone slowed.

"Lord Rhodes, I can understand your mood, but the rules of the king's city are unshakable. Not long after the Kuroshio passed, Trorian has just recovered a little bit of energy. At this time, everyone should work together and strive to bring our kingdom together. Build stronger."

"For the sake of the overall situation, we can each take a step back. If you want to be promoted, we can add you as an alternate elder. In the future, when you have enough qualifications, it is not impossible to be elected as the first elder."

Rhode saw Churchill blinking wildly behind him, and one hand kept grabbing and putting down, like adding weights to a balance.

He immediately understood and smiled: "Your Excellency Palos, from the first elder to the alternate elder, this has shrunk too much, and I want other compensation."

Palos sighed in his heart, as long as he was willing to negotiate the conditions, he smiled: "You said, as long as it can be done, we will try our best to satisfy it."

But what he didn't expect was that when he agreed, he would fall into the pit.

In the next period of time, Rhodes was more than a lion, and he wanted to swallow the entire royal city.

The only thing that can make Palos tolerate is that he did not ask for money directly, but just asked for various resources, permissions, preferential status, etc.

Rhode is also in the attitude of paying back the money at the sky-high asking price, and he hits two shots first.

Didn't expect it to happen.

It seems that the crystal lode of the sun holds a greater weight in Wang Cheng's mind than he imagined.

Rhode suppressed the joy in his heart, and said: "If you don't give it to the high-level combatants, I can't force it, but my teammate Mephis was forcibly brought back by you, and it hasn't been released yet, isn't this a bit too much? share?"

Palos hesitated.

He had heard about Mephis, and it seemed that there was a problem with the encapsulation curse on her body. The leader of the taboo armed forces asked Wangcheng to execute her many times, but it was never approved.

This matter is very troublesome, and the taboo armed forces in charge of the Silver Oath have a high status and are also very dangerous.

However, they happened to be within the jurisdiction of the elders.

What is difficult for others is just the next order for them.

Palos nodded and said, "Okay! I will ask the Taboo Armed Forces to release them as soon as possible."

Rhodes rolled his eyes and said, "I want 10% of the output of the sun crystal ore vein."

Palos couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted angrily: "Little brat! Don't go too far!"

Churcher hurriedly stabbed his **** from behind, and whispered, "Elder Palos, calm down, calm down!"

Palos clapped his hand away: "I calm down your mother..."

Churchill pretended to be anxious and said: "Elder Palos, don't forget that you took the oath of fire to guarantee that you can take it back, so you grabbed this errand. If you are impulsive, I will also be unlucky."

Palos was furious and roared: "Are you so stupid? Is your brain full of muscles? Didn't your powerful soul bring you a little bit of wisdom?"

"I chose you to accompany me, it's almost a thousand years of blood mold!"

He turned around, and his yellow-orange eyes glared at Rhodes viciously.

"Okay, you won, I agreed, but this is the last request. If you want to put forward a new one, then you will break it up!"

When Rhode saw Churcher's thumbs up, he immediately understood, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile, "Elder Palos, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

Palos' face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.

Such a huge price has far exceeded his expectations.

But that's all there is to it.

He originally wanted to use intimidation to force Rhodes to offer the ore veins with both hands and do things beautifully.

But Rhode's temperament and strength far exceeded his imagination, intimidation didn't work at all, and a pig teammate was dragging him down.

He was able to negotiate this negotiation, thanks to his superior wisdom, strategizing, and extraordinary bearing.

For any other person, this negotiation will not be successful.

In short, no matter what, at least the thing was done, and it was a great achievement for him to go back.

As for the price, he doesn't have to pay.

At most, it's just two words of gossip, so what can I do?

Thinking about it, Palos actually thought that this was not bad, smiled again, and signed various contracts with Rhodes with a full face.

He even introduced his granddaughter to him. Although she failed to become a fire keeper, she was very beautiful. She had fair skin and beautiful long legs. She had a big breast and a big buttocks. Interested can try it.

Rhodes was afraid of twists and turns, so he was embarrassed to refuse. He only said that he could add a Spirit Crow messenger to chat first.

Palos agreed immediately.

His ordinary granddaughter is his biggest heart disease, and an excellent seed like Rhodes is not something that ordinary people can encounter. Although their positions are different, there should be no problem with borrowing a seed.

In this way, Palos led the negotiating team to victory.

But after returning to the royal city, the elders were very dissatisfied with his achievements.

An elder asked: "Palos, is your condition too much?"

Palos snorted coldly: "You don't understand at all, that kid has condensed into a powerful force in Fanxing Town, and he is ambitiously preparing to create a new human kingdom, and thereby replace Wangcheng as the new king. , I tried my best to reverse this unfavorable situation and eliminate a catastrophe for mankind. In comparison, what is the price?"

The elders looked at him suspiciously.

Palos, on the other hand, was not afraid, and bragged about Rhode's deeds, proving from all aspects how powerful he was, how terrifying his talent, how sophisticated, and how despicable it was. It wasn't that he sacrificed her granddaughter's innocence. Going out, this thing may not be possible.

Although the elders are a little skeptical, but throughout the history of Trorian, aren't all those super geniuses shining like the morning stars like this?

Or superhuman intelligence, or superhuman talent, or superhuman ability, or all three.

Not to mention those mythical non-human beings in history, isn't there a supernova that is many times better than him in the current royal city?

In the end, the elders still recognized the contract and gave Elder Palos a great contribution, and because of his selfless dedication, the elders specially gave him some compensation.

The defender, Churcher, was said to be worthless by the elders, like a mentally retarded person who only knew how to Aba Aba.

Therefore, he did not catch a hair and was sent back to his defense zone.

And just like that, the matter came to a close.

The elders paid a certain price, successfully avoided the big pit agreed by Wang Zhi, and got the ownership of the sun crystal lode.

And Rhodes gained a lot. Not only did he gain a lot of resource tilt and authority status, but he also got a position as an alternate elder. These are things that money can't buy at all.

It will help Rhodes to gain more divinity.

Elder Palos has made great contributions, won a lot of compensation, and arranged a future for his granddaughter, which can be said to be a lot of money.

Guardian Churchell has successfully helped Rhodes to take a big step forward, which is also what he is happy to see.

Everyone was happy and got what they wanted.

As for who lost, only God knows.

at the same time.

In the dark fog outside Starry Town.

The three reddish figures gathered together again.

Their faces were so gloomy that they were darker than the black mist.

Leville said in a deep voice: "Things are already very bad, and if this continues, there will be no place for opponents to stand."

Amory said: "Time is running out, our recovery period is very short, and the Palace of Fire will soon summon us back. This is the last chance."

Karama said: "Is the thing sent by Lord Manorobana really effective? That kid doesn't have any tricks he doesn't know about, right?"

Leville shook his head.

"Impossible, the disaster we caused this time is equivalent to a small black tide, and Fanxing Town is absolutely impossible to defend."

Amory smiled and said, "We have thoroughly studied that kid's means. He simply cannot deal with the Aries demon group, and Fanxing Town will definitely be destroyed."

Karama sighed:

"We've gone bankrupt for this plan, and if it doesn't work out, we're screwed."

Leville smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, this time it will definitely succeed."

"We will attack when the guardian is far away."

Silver Pledge.

Forbidden Arms.

The leader slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! If Mephis does not complete the seal, he will never let her go."

Opposite him are other high-ranking members of the Taboo Armed Forces.

"Chief." One person advised: "This is the third time the Supreme Council has urged us."

"They said if we don't let people go, we're going to cut our budget."

The leader shouted angrily: "Don't they know? Mephis is the son of destruction in the prophecy. If it is released without a seal, something big will happen."

Everyone glanced at each other, and one whispered: "The elder said, that's your business, they allocate so much money every year, even a son of prophecy who doesn't know the truth or not can't seal it, I don't know what we need so many resources for. ."

The leader said angrily: "Is there no one who supports us? I will report to the First Elder, His Excellency Armando in person."

The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said softly, "This is what the first elder meant."

The leader was silent for a few seconds, then sat down and murmured, "Why is this?"

"They say Startown lacks high-level combatants," said one.

"Can't you send someone else?"

"No, there are no free seats in the Palace of Fire, everyone is in their own sequence of actions."

The leader was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Use the psionic seal to limit her psychic level to below level seven, I hope there will be no problems."

The man immediately showed a smile, bowed and said, "Yes, Lord Chief!"

He hurried away with the crowd.

There was only the leader left in the hall again~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He sat on the black iron throne and fell into a long period of contemplation.

Uptown.

in a splendid hall.

A large group of well-dressed people sat at the giant table.

The one sitting in the first place was a super fat man. The fat all over his body had drowned his facial features. His fat hands were covered with large colorful rings, and he was clapping his palms hard to calm everyone down.

"The Age of Rebirth"

"Big businessmen."

Contrary to his bloated physique, his voice was loud and clear, and instantly overwhelmed the audience.

"You already know the situation, Fanxing Town is a high-end salary investment target, and it has almost no risks. If we can reach a deeper cooperation agreement with them, maybe one day in the future, we will be able to stand proudly with the money of mortals. Above the royal city."

A bang resounded through the hall, and the giant merchants shouted: "I agree!"

"This is the best chance!"

"Raise! Raise!"

"I'm with that little guy! He's a genius!"

"Yes, although compared with other super geniuses, his talent is not outstanding, but his thinking pattern has surpassed this era!"

"Lord Mihara, please."

The super fat man smiled and said: "Very good, since you all agree, then I will go to Fanxing Town to discuss in-depth cooperation with our little hero in person."

He raised a fat hand high and shouted.

"The fire never goes out! The money is passed on forever!"

The giants shouted in unison.

"May the fire and money always bless us!"+Bookmark+
