As soon as Rhodes' combat rating ended, the news spread to the King's District.
A follower reported the news to the king and Horus in detail.
Wang sighed: "Unfortunately, little Rhodes exceeded my imagination, and my arrangement failed."
Horus looked uncertain and whispered: "King, Rhodes' ability is so strange... Can he really be trusted?"
Wang smiled and said: "Xiao Hehe, if you don't trust Theodore, or think that someone may forge Theodore's soul message, then you don't have to trust him."
"No... no, Wang, of course I believe in Rhodes' character, but the ability of his fire makes me very uneasy. Just like Mavis back then, they may eventually lose control, their souls will turn black, and they will
Going crazy, becoming a terrifying monster, causing devastating losses to the royal city... This is not without precedent."
Wang turned his eyes and looked at his closest comrade with golden eyes like burning flames.
"Xiao Hehe, you have been a little proud recently."
Horus wondered: "King, why do you say that?"
"Do you think your research on the soul surpasses Theodore?"
Horus was horrified: "Of course not. The cursed nature is the characteristic closest to the origin of the world. Your Excellency Theodore's understanding of the soul and the origin exceeds all of us. I have no trust in him."
Reserved.”
Wang smiled and said: "If you believe in this human legend without reservation, you should believe in Rhodes without reservation. If we don't believe in him, then don't use him in the first place. Do you understand?"
Horus lowered his head.
"Yes, Wang, I understand. I am going to investigate the rating of this battle. Anyone who dares to tamper with the rating must be severely punished."
The king turned around and looked up at the holy fire reaching the sky. The turbulent golden light showed an unnatural distortion.
"Go, Xiao Hehe, but don't hold out too much hope, they won't leave any clues."
Horus gritted his teeth and said: "One day, I will completely eradicate these maggots."
Although he couldn't see the king's face, Horus felt that the king must be smiling.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before I no longer need to use their power."
The king walked toward the holy fire, and his body ignited with golden light, which complemented the holy fire and gradually merged into one.
Before leaving, Horus took one last look back at the Holy Fire Sacrifice.
In the huge space, apart from the burning holy fire, there is no trace of the king.
——
Shangcheng District.
Come to Well Mansion.
The three justices immediately left the Sealand military base and returned to their homes.
"What happened to that brat?"
"How could there be such a person?"
"Is it Theodore's remnant soul?"
Karama interrupted their meaningless doubts.
"Have the traces been cleaned up? We must not be traced. The status of the justice cannot protect us."
Laiweier said: "Don't worry, I've taken care of it. Even if the archbishop comes to check in person, he can't find us."
The expressions of the three of them improved a little.
Amory sighed: "Everyone, please be careful. Nowadays, the king's laws are strict. Our six hundred years of ancient family lineage cannot be broken in this generation."
"Yes." Laiweier also sighed, "The king always threatens us with destruction. Trorian has been inherited for more than a thousand years. When has it been destroyed?"
"That's right, can't we just live a good life behind closed doors?"
"Without our little money, the royal city will be destroyed?"
"I really hope Lord Jon will inherit the throne soon."
"Stop complaining."
Karama interrupted: "Hurry up and contact Master Manolobana and Master Talinas to think about what to do next."
——
Sauron immediately broke into the basement of Training Ground No. 7, but only saw crystal debris on the floor.
"Stinky shit!"
"Run so fast!"
"At least those four guys can't run away."
——
The seventh training ground was quickly surrounded by a large number of faculty members and adjudicators.
With the help of Sauron, the four rating committee members were also arrested.
But Horus quickly found out that they just accepted some bribes and had no online or offline connections.
The briber asked them to give them as low a score as possible and "close one eye during the rating."
If Rhodes fails, each of them will also receive a reward of 100,000 silver cords.
The briber was just the owner of a bakery, and his body was found in the sewer.
Obviously, he was being used, and the clues have been broken here.
Horus knew that the only way to find out was here, and there was no other way except to fine him a huge sum of money and put the four rating committee members in jail.
And Rhodes didn’t know all this.
After being ignored for a while, he was suddenly surrounded by a large group of clergy, who enthusiastically took him to the cathedral of the Holy Church.
Under the high ceiling, with the melodious bells ringing, and surrounded by countless flame drawings, Rhodes completed the oath-taking ceremony with sixteen new recruits and officially became a fifth-level combatant.
Subsequently, the munitions personnel of the Military War Department awarded them the fifth-level Gold Leaf Medal and the fifth-level jersey.
New benefits were announced to them, including a weekly salary of 2,800 silver cords, corresponding distribution of materials, higher authority, and corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
It is worth mentioning that these are only basic salaries. If they serve in any legion or region, there will be additional salary packages.
Before Rhodes could be happy, he was brought to the Supreme Council by several bishops.
Witnessed by many elders and bishops, according to the original agreement, he was awarded the position of Hand of the King and officially became a member of the King's Guard.
He also received a very majestic golden-red robe, a badge in the shape of a giant sword, and an additional weekly salary of 5,000 silver cords, as well as higher authority, and more responsibilities and obligations.
Before Rhodes could recover, he was taken to the Supreme Military War Department again.
In a gorgeous room, the first defense officer Chang Lin personally awarded him the position of third-level commander.
I also received a cyan commander's robe, a commander's medal, and an additional weekly salary of 1,000 silver cords.
Afterwards, he was immediately taken to the Royal City Government Affairs Office.
Under the main hall, Chief Consul Talinas personally awarded the position of defender.
Guardians belong to the regional system, and the highest level is the guardian, who is responsible for guarding a place.
The defender has the qualifications to guard a city and a town.
Tallinas told him that these were all in recognition of his immortal contributions to Trolian, praising him for saving countless people and reversing immeasurable losses for Trolian.
He received another robe, a badge, and an additional weekly salary of 1,500 silver cords.
Before Rhodes could recover from this series of dazzling rewards, Archbishop Horus found him again.
He told him that the king was waiting for him and that the Holy Fire Plan was about to be officially launched.
In this way, Rhodes arrived at the Holy Fire Sacrifice with four robes, four badges, and a weekly salary of up to a silver rope.
