Even though we had expected it, the harshness of the real world is still beyond imagination.

Humanity is like a small boat sailing on the boundless ocean of darkness. We don’t know when we will face disaster.

Rhodes, who had just witnessed the horror and weirdness of the spiritual world, understood this point more deeply.

Based on his current understanding, the spiritual world is like a deeper world, and disturbances from the spiritual world will eventually be reflected in the material world.

This kind of feedback is usually negative and can cause monsters to behave abnormally, leading to disaster.

According to Molly, the dark world is like the sea, there is a strange connection between monsters, and disturbances will be transmitted like waves.

Calmness is the best situation.

But under the calmness, in the deeper and bottomless deep sea, there are still more terrifying unknowns lurking. The changes in the deep sea cannot be known on the surface of the sea.

The White Tower is an organization that attempts to detect and predict those terrifying undercurrents.

From Molly's description, Rhodes guessed that the abnormal interruption of the doomsday where the stars did not move may be related to the quantitative relationship with the [Dark Devourer].

The relationship between the spirit world and dreams may be much closer than imagined.

"I have to visit the White Tower when I have time."

Rhodes thought.

"Perhaps we can completely understand what quantification is, where exactly the dream bubbles are floating in the spiritual world, what is the distribution of the spiritual world areas, which areas are dangerous and which areas are relatively safe."

If these issues can be clarified, at least the threat from dream invasion will be much less.

——

Two more days passed.

With Molly's help, Rhodes basically figured out Trorian's current situation.

Counting the most advanced sentry towers, Trorian controls a total area of ​​about 200,000 square kilometers. The total length of the defense circle is more than a thousand miles, divided into six theaters, and thousands of various fortifications.

It is estimated that close to 100 million humans live in this area, half of which are in the Imperial City alone.

Due to the sense of security brought to people by the huge Los Wall and the ever-burning sacred fire, there are more than 10 million illegal households in the royal city. The Lower City, especially the 10th to 13th districts in the outer city, are almost crowded by civilians.

Exploded.

The major human settlements are also very crowded, and new living space is indeed what they urgently need.

However, Trorian's combat power is not sufficient. Currently, there are about 300,000 registered fire fighters, with the number of new ones increasing every year ranging from 6,000 to 20,000.

There are less than 200,000 frontline combatants.

Production personnel, logistics personnel, retired personnel, and personnel who have suffered various fatal injuries and are unable to fight account for one third.

Resources are the biggest factor restricting the number and strength of fire bearers. What the royal city currently lacks most is sun crystals.

This is just a general picture. More detailed and in-depth information cannot be covered in two days.

However, Dalin has appointed Molly as Rhodes' personal assistant and adjutant, responsible for handling all his daily and non-daily affairs, and will have a lot of time in the future.

Two days later, Rhodes attended the memorial service held for Theodore by the Supreme Council.

In view of Theodore's huge influence in the royal city, news of his death was not made public, and only those with knowledge of the matter were allowed to attend the memorial service.

The memorial service was presided over by Armando, the first elder of the Supreme Council, and the participants included the king, Archbishop Horus, the first defense officer Da Lin and other important figures in the royal city.

Theodore never married, and his parents and relatives had long since passed away. The only person who could barely attend as a family member was Rod, the person who supported his soul at the last moment.

Although he did not have any blood relatives, the venue was still filled with sounds of mourning and crying.

Due to the need for confidentiality, the memorial service was held at the Holy Fire Sacrifice.

Under the golden holy fire burning in the sky, the king said: "Your life has illuminated countless people, and your brilliance has guided countless people. May you rest in peace in the heaven of fire and see eternal Trorian become more prosperous."

Powerful."

Everyone said in unison: "May the fire last forever, may the heroes be immortal, may the fire be passed down from generation to generation, the spirit continue, and mankind immortal."

Everyone took off their hats and bowed.

The king sent the urn containing Theodore's relics into the holy fire. When the flames rolled up, the urn disappeared without a trace.

The sound of crying in the sacrificial hall became louder, and some people even fainted and fell to the ground.

Rhodes suddenly remembered something, quietly entered the dreamland, took out a ring, and handed it to the king.

"This is the relic of the chief dean, and he wants to give it to Kashan."

Wang took the ring, inspected it for a moment, and said gently: "There is a strange soul-like object inside, little Rhodes, why did Your Excellency Theodore give it to little Cassian?"

"The chief dean said that it is a special item of Kashan's soul, and it is a relic belonging to little Kashan."

Archbishop Horus suddenly said: "I understand, this is a relic passed down by the Kashan bloodline. Grandma Kashan once lent it to Lord Theodore. This property is returned to its original owner. Let me handle it.

”

This episode passed quickly. As the memorial service came to an end, Armando, the first elder, came on stage to speak.

He asked everyone not to leak secrets. The Royal City Council announced that Theodore was resting and recovering from his injuries. Jinworth College would elect a new acting chief dean. The Conjurers Society would also be managed by a new conjuration master.

An exception will occur.

Don’t worry, everyone, anyone who leaks the secret will be severely punished by the royal city.

After the wrinkled old man finished speaking, he looked at Rhodes with a warning look, as if he would leak the secret.

After the memorial service, Wang deliberately kept him here.

"Little Rod."

He said with a smile.

"Congratulations, you have completed Trolian's biggest feat in recent years at the youngest age."

Rhodes thought of Tommen and Dmitri who were traveling with him again, and felt slightly sad, and said softly: "It is the sacrifice of our companions that leads to success."

Wang's expression also became serious.

"They did not sacrifice for you, but for everything they loved. If you can protect them, it will be the best reward."

Rhodes' mood suddenly became much brighter, and he smiled and said: "Thank you."

Wang returned the same smile.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Little Rod, you have a special temperament, and communicating with you makes me feel relaxed."

Rhodes smiled and said: "As expected, you can see that the king's potential hidden in my body is worthy of being the current king of Trolian."

Wang Shi smiled and said: "You don't have the soul characteristic of eternal burning. The most you can do is become the king's man."

"Forget it, Miss Qingyu has too many men..."

"So you have to work hard. The Internal Affairs Office of the Royal City has submitted her list of 133 potential partners. I will approve one for you now."

"Currently? You're the last batch, maybe I can consider it."

Wang forgot about the business for a moment and asked curiously: "Why?"

"The last batch, that's someone else's wife, I can accept it as Lao Luo next door. The first batch, that's the green prairie, one hundred and thirty-two green ones, forget it, I have a bad heart."<

/p>

Wang was stunned for a while before he figured out Rhode's logic, and said with a smile: "Boy, you are not petty. Who is Qingyu? It is almost impossible for her to marry you alone."

Rhodes shrugged: "Then forget it."

After chatting for a few words, Wang changed the topic to the right track.

"In view of the success of this mission and the record in the Third War Zone, you have been absolved of all responsibilities for publicly killing Gregor in the Inquisition. This is your new resonance crystal."

Wang took out a crystal from his arms and injected it with spiritual energy.

The numbers above flashed by quickly, and the numbers finally summarized at the bottom were: Honor, Guilt: 0

"I directly deleted your guilt. Based on your honor, Wangcheng will award you 201 iron medals. You can go to the Wangcheng Logistics Office to redeem these iron medals for the supplies you need."

"I suggest you exchange some weapon materials to make a soul weapon of your own."

Rhodes nodded and took the crystal.

Wang continued: "Based on your merits, I will recommend you to become the King's Hand and serve as a third-level commander in the Supreme Military War Department. Then, I will use this to send you to Fanxing Town to carry out the development mission."

"In this way, you can have the command of a battle group."

The surprise came instantly, and Rhodes said happily: "Is this your plan? Have you planned it a long time ago?"

Wang shook his head slightly.

"No, this is Your Excellency Theodore's plan. My original intention is to keep you in the secret branch to continue growing. You are too young, inexperienced, and unfit to lead so many people. There is no precedent in this regard in the Royal City."

"But I believe in Theodore, just like they believe in me."

Wang paused and continued.
