"King of Ashes?" Disciple

Rhodes looked at him with doubtful eyes, and the glimmer of light on his body was connected to the Throne of Ashes behind him.

On the back of the long chair, his name is shining.

Horus' face was gloomy and he said slowly: "Legend has it that the king was born from the embers after the fire was extinguished. He is the true king, who governs the law of destruction and has the original authority. In ancient rumors,

The real purpose of the Giant King Omir in building the Seat of Ashes was to create the King of Ashes."

Rhodes scratched his head and asked: "Archbishop, I remember that the giant king Omir seems to be the god of giants, right?"

Horus nodded slightly: "The city of giants is the city of gods. The giant king Omer's status among the giants is second only to the ancestor of giants, Ehaeus."

"Really? Is the true king...more powerful than a god?"

Horus said in a deep voice: "The true king is a god, but a weak god is not necessarily a true king. In the ancient classical soul hierarchy, the one above the Lawyer is the true king."

"But the true king is too far away, so there is a middle ladder, the king level."

"Strictly speaking, all kings are incomplete true kings. In the ancient era when fire was extremely powerful and strong men emerged in endlessly, true kings were also the rulers of a battlefield."

"For us, the True King is the only super strong man who can resist the invasion of the nameless ones and tear open the curtain of black mist. But unfortunately, after entering the Dark Age, the road to the True King has been cut off for thousands of years.

There is no real king."

Rhodes was extremely shocked. This was not the first time he heard the legend of the true king. Among the new stars, everyone firmly believed that they would become the true king in the future, save Trolian, and lead mankind to rejuvenation.

.

But after hearing Horus's detailed explanation, he suddenly realized the gap between the real king and him. Even a person as powerful as the king was only an incomplete true king.

The gap between him and Wang is already very large.

Rhodes couldn't help but ask: "Are there many true kings in the past?"

Horus replied: "There is a limit to the number of true kings. There will generally be no more than three true kings in the same era, but this is not an iron rule. We don't know the reason yet."

Rhodes asked with interest: "Did the King of Ashes ever exist?"

Horus's face darkened.

"According to legend, when the King of Ashes appears, he will destroy the world and then rule its embers. This is not the true king who saves us, but a bad omen..."

Rhodes' eyes widened: "Destroy the world? Bad omen? But... why?"

Horus said lightly: "The True King controls extremely strong laws, but at the same time he is also controlled by the laws. His actions can no longer be simply controlled by will."

Rhodes felt a little uneasy: "Then why do you say I am the King of Ashes?"

Horus shook his head slightly: "That's just my illusion, Rhodes, you know, your existence is extremely unreasonable, there are too many unexplainable things, if it weren't for the partiality of Wang and Alan towards you, you would

You won’t be able to get into the core of the kingdom so easily without being investigated.”

Rhodes was shocked. It turned out that Wang Cheng had always been suspicious of him. His simple lies were not discovered only because they were unwilling to pursue them, not because they were smart.

Horus waved his hand gently, and the white light lifted Rhodes down.

"The King is always right. Although there are many times when we think he is wrong and have great incomprehension about some of his ways, in the end, we always find that he is right."

"The same goes for Alan. Although he rarely makes decisions, he silently illustrates this point with the results of countless victories."

"So, even though we didn't understand it this time, we still followed the king's order..."

Horus paused for a moment, his eyes as heavy as hell.

"Of course, I am not doubting you, but at the highest level of the kingdom, everything must be transparent. The complexity of the soul is unimaginable. In many cases,

At this time, will cannot determine action. This is related to our destiny. I hope you can understand."

Rhodes quickly said: "I understand, I understand."

In the battle of Star City, the story of Horus being controlled is still vivid in my mind.

Moreover, they also know that ancient evil thoughts will be reincarnated to form souls again.

This soul had its original will at the beginning, but with the penetration of evil thoughts, his behavior gradually became uncontrollable and eventually assimilated into evil thoughts.

In subsequent research, they discovered that not only evil thoughts, but also soul fragments of powerful ancient gods, spiritual strings of old masters, and remnants of incomprehensible great beings could all be reincarnated and grow into new souls.<

/p>

The owners of these souls often become extremely powerful, have unimaginable talents, and possess incomprehensible powers.

It would be fine if it was well-intentioned or had no impact on the original will of the soul.

If it were something like ancient evil thoughts, that would be terrible.

Therefore, although Rhodes' behavior shows that he cannot be a doomsday cultist, due to the many weird sources of his power, everyone cannot fully trust him.

Horus's eyes gradually calmed down, and he broke away from the terrible failure, and said in a deep voice: "Although we have accepted you in accordance with the king's order, in private, we also have many speculations about your background."
p>

"You may be the reincarnation of the soul of a powerful existence in ancient times. This is a result we agree with. Perhaps due to some taboo, your power cannot be made public, just like those unspeakable existences."

Rhodes was shocked. Horus's guess was actually quite close. The existence of dreams was indeed an unspeakable taboo as he said.

But why did the king favor him? Disciple

Does he know something?

Thinking of many things in the past, Rhodes became more suspicious.

But he didn't say anything, and planned to observe quietly for a while. He felt that it was impossible for the king to directly know the existence of the dream. It might be a prophecy or intuition that guided his behavior.

Horus continued: "According to legend, the Lord of Ashes has an extraordinary keenness in destroying everything related to Ashes. You were recognized by the Seat of Ashes almost immediately, which reminds me of this."<

/p>

Rhodes asked curiously: "Then why don't you think I am?"

Horus glanced at him.

"The abilities related to your black rice bucket are too far away from the King of Ashes. It cannot be the King of Ashes. There should be some other reason." Tu

Rhodes smiled and said: "Can't it be that I am gifted?"

Horus's eyes were like looking at a retarded person with missing cerebellum. He did not answer this meaningless question, but asked: "How do you feel now? The Seat of Ashes has completely established contact with your soul.

Humanity's destiny is gathering on the throne, improving your soul in all aspects and condensing the "qi" of the true king for you."

Rhodes closed his eyes.

"Well, I feel a little warm in my soul, and something is holding me in the void."

Horus frowned, but he quickly remembered that Rhodes was a one-year undergraduate at Jinworth College, and patiently taught him the methods of soul introspection and internal investigation.

Rhodes suddenly felt like he had found a treasure. His hazy soul suddenly became clear before his eyes, and he could even see deep into it. He seemed to be swimming in the dark night of the soul, and every hair could be seen clearly.

Soon, he discovered that there was a wonderful mark shining deep in his soul. It felt very similar to the Seat of Ashes, but it didn't have the feeling of depression, but was full of the heat of life.

.apprentice

It spread deep in his soul and filled his entire soul, giving him a slight feeling of heat.

The mist of the soul is gradually growing, slowly becoming thicker, and above the mark, something like white gas is gathering.

Obviously, that should be the "Qi" of the True King.

After reading it, Rhodes ended the state of inner vision and told Horus everything he found.

Horus finally showed a happy smile.

"Okay, very good. You have been fully recognized by the Seat of Ashes. Humanity's destiny has not been in vain. You have to know that every time you open an additional Seat of Ashes, you will receive one less point of human destiny, so we will never

Will open a new seat of ashes at will."

"You have lived up to our expectations. Although your power is far from reaching the level of the Herrscher, you are already a veritable son of fire and are on the road to becoming a true king." Disciple

"According to our research, that white air plays a huge role in helping you take a critical step. The sooner you gather it, the better."

"Of course, the most important thing is the development of Trorian, otherwise humanity's fortune will be insufficient and the support provided by the Seat of Ashes will also slow down."

"The existence of a true king must have condensed the fortunes of countless humans. This may be the reason why his number is limited."

Amidst the continuous preaching, Horus finally led Rhodes out of the Hall of Ashes.

The first time he returned to the ground, Rhodes took a deep breath.

"Ah."

He said intoxicatedly.

"This sweet air."

Horus stood quietly aside, and anyone who first entered the botanical garden would be like him.

This is a rare relaxation, because everyone's time to enter the botanical garden is limited, and they cannot stay here for a long time, even the life priests who work here are the same.

After a moment, Horus turned into a white light again, leading Rod to fly to the other side of the cliff.

After leaving the botanical garden, Rhodes felt a strong sense of loss in his heart. When the scenery of life in his sight was obscured by the gray cliffs, he had the urge to fly back again.

This impulse was so strong that he felt something was wrong.
