The Last King of Darkness

The moment the words fell, the red-haired fat man's face darkened.

"I don't know what's wrong, don't pretend to be amnesia. I heard that Hongshi Village has been abolished, the outer defense line has been shrunk, you are abandoned sons, so you are now a homeless wild dog, aren't you? So? Just want to hang out with barbarians who keep cattle, don't you?"

Wayne's entire face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, while Rhode felt inexplicable, is this person sick? Isn't human **** what you said? I said why are you still angry?

But he has always been cautious, and he has always been prudent in his work, and will never be impulsive.

Under such circumstances, it would be unwise to offend someone rashly before entering the academy.

Thinking of this, Rhode stood up and said with a smile, "You're right, wild dogs, barbarians, and human dung are very suitable for being friends."

Reaching out his hand, the red-haired fat man was provoked and rushed towards him.

Rhodes dodged nimbly, and the fat man stumbled on the bench and fell to the ground.

The abnormal sound here suddenly attracted a lot of attention.

"You saw it!"

Rhodes raised his hands.

"I didn't do it! He accidentally tripped over himself."

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

This sentence had an immediate effect. The fat man gave Rhode and Wayne a stern glance, and then said, "You wait." He quickly turned and walked away.

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

Rhode lifted the bench, sat down again, and complained, "Do you think this person is sick? He himself said he was a dick, and I said he was angry. It was a waste of my time."

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

"Rod, you can't emphasize the pronunciation of this name. His name is Hablin. If you accentuate your nasal accent, it will become human dung. Manorobana is the surname of the upper-class nobles, which shows that his family system is very large and has many origins. Those who hold the fire have connections in major government offices, key institutions, and legions."

"Oh, where's the House Tribunal? Does he have one too?"

Hearing the name, Wayne shrank abruptly, and then asked curiously, "Why did you mention this institution? The Internal Affairs Tribunal is a very powerful department under the direct jurisdiction of the new king, and no one can intervene."

"The new king? What about the old king?"

Wayne choked:

"It's the old king. He has already returned to the sacred fire. The new king has been in office for more than ten years, but his new law is very different from before, so everyone is used to calling him that."

Rhode's heart moved, and when he was about to ask again, suddenly a majestic horn sounded from a distance, and the noisy voice of the side hall was instantly drowned out.

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

Their faces were pale and they were very nervous, but the blonde girl Kashan strode out, and everyone followed her unconsciously and followed her into the main hall in the middle.

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

A huge golden chalice was placed in the center of the hall, and a golden fire burned in the chalice.

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

There were many red priests standing around, and one of them shouted: "Whoever the priest calls out will come forward and put his right hand on the Holy Grail. It is not allowed to take it down until it is given a clear order."

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

Wayne whispered, "Will it be hot?"

"Only monsters get hot." Habrin sneered. "You don't even know that? Hillbilly."

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

"Rains 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.

The hot metal really didn't burn his hands, and the little man stood quietly in front of the Holy Grail, motionless.

About thirty seconds later, his whole body suddenly burst into flames, and the crimson flames licked his skin, swaying gently like a wide 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, and you will become a powerful fire holder."

Rains looked agitated, and a priest led him aside.

"Lear Hawkeye of Copperhammer Street."

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

"Yes, you can go too."

"Frank of Mushroom City."

A tall, thin man stepped up, and it took a long time this time, and the flames didn't 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 a spark in your body, as long as you train hard, you will become an excellent fighter, think of Alan. "

Frank almost burst into tears, tears running away.

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

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

Soon, the first knockout appeared. He was reluctant to leave for a long time. When he was dragged out, he cried so loudly that he could still hear it from a distance.

Then the second, the third.

When the fourth appeared, tragedy struck.

It was a little black-haired man who shrank back as if he had burned his hand when he touched the Holy Grail.

In an instant, all the priests turned their gazes over, and the two immediately rushed up and pressed him to the ground.

The priest raised his hand slightly, and a flame of fire flew out from the Holy Grail and swept across his body.

The priest raised his head and looked at the priest.

He shook his head slightly.

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

"No-no." The boy cried heart-to-heart, "Why me? I don't, please, please, let me go back, my father died in the mine accident, and my mother was eaten by evil spirits , When I found her, she was only half of her body left, with one hand holding the purse, I broke my 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 jolted violently.

"Me, my ashes..." he asked tremblingly, "Can it be put into the guardian fire? Our village's."

"Can."

The boy grabbed the ball sharply and swallowed it.

Blazing 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 great hall became silent, no sound at all.

Rhode's heart came to his throat, and he felt very bad, but at this time he couldn't go back and could only bite the bullet and go on.

Soon, the priest's voice rang out.

"Lord of Red Rock Village."

At this moment, Rhodes calmed down. He took a deep breath, walked up, and put his hand on the huge Holy Grail.

very hot.

Rhode's heart sank suddenly, but his face remained calm, just like those successful people, quietly pressing his hand on the Holy Grail.

The fiery temperature penetrated from the Holy Grail, and the palm of his hand was like a thousand needles, and the pain kept stirring his nerves. Rhode clenched his teeth and remained motionless.

After about a few minutes, Rhode noticed that the priest moved.

He opened his eyelids and glanced at him, his cloudy eyes seemed to have doubts.

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

In a hurry, suddenly, a huge roar came from outside the hall, the ground trembled violently, the entire hall was shaking, dust rustled, and the fire became bright and dark, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The priest stood up in an instant, his hunched and thin body exuded a force that could not be ignored, and Rhode felt as if a giant was standing in front of him. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

boom!

Another loud noise came, and all the lights in the hall were extinguished, and only the Holy Grail was left with a warm red peripheral light.

"Everyone stay where they are! Don't go out no matter what happens!"

A priest shouted, and the figure turned into a streamer and rushed out of the hall, while the chief priest and other priests had long disappeared.

It was dark in the hall, and everyone was uneasy in the shadows. They unconsciously moved closer, wanting to gain a sense of security as a group.

Only Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, and took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd.

The chaos didn't last long, and soon, a middle-aged man in a white robe returned to the main hall and said loudly, "The people who have passed the final test follow me, and those who haven't passed the final test stay where they are."

He quickly cleared the people out, and for some reason, he also pulled Rhodes into the team.

The fat red-haired Habrin shouted, "His Excellency the Archbishop, he didn't pass!"

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

But Archbishop Baipao glanced at him and immediately scolded: "Shut up! Don't make trouble!"

Habrin shouted aggrievedly: "I didn't make trouble, he really didn't pass, and the priest didn't admit it! The priest didn't speak!"

The Archbishop's face became dangerous.

"Habrin, if you try to deceive me again, I will be punished. No matter what grudges you have, don't bring it to official business."

"It's our rule."

Hublin closed his mouth and looked like he had eaten a ton of shit.

No one spoke again, the archbishop waved his hand, and the white light enveloped them, turned into a meteor, and flew out of the main hall.
