The Last King Of Darkness

Chapter 319: Chapter 227 Moving Forward into the Darkness

After the Military War Department had decided on the candidates and other matters, the situation was mostly settled, with only some minor but equally important matters remaining.

For this, Rod was completely in the dark, but fortunately, he had Molly as his assistant.

She was incredibly capable.

Familiar with all affairs, she handled matters with simplicity and competence, achieving very high efficiency and arranging everything in an orderly manner.

Rod just needed to follow her lead.

The most important task was to exchange his 201 King City Iron Medals for materials and then to find Master Lei Lu to create a Soul Weapon.

In the warehouse of the Royal City Logistics Department, Rod was dazzled by all the precious materials. He looked left and right, and dreaded having to choose just a few to exchange.

Molly said, "Lord Rod, currently, your main combat style is ranged, combined with strike assaults, suitable for the roles of rear reconnaissance, assistant, and fire support, also incorporating attributes of an assassin."

"Engaging monsters in close combat in the front, controlling the situation in the middle, and providing firepower coverage from the rear, are not quite suited for you."

"Therefore, I suggest you delay the creation of the Soul Weapon and first create a more powerful Spirit Gun."

"This will be more suitable for you, allowing you to use your abilities more conveniently and maximize your strengths."

Rod contemplated for a moment before exclaiming in admiration, "You are absolutely right."

"Molly, I hadn’t even considered that deeply myself; you understand me better than I do. Although my close combat abilities are strong now, that is ultimately not my specialty. I only need to step forward when there is a flaw in a monster’s soul and take them down."

"I play a much larger role from the back than from the front."

"And ’Raven’ is no longer suitable for me; its power is too minimal. I haven’t used it for a long time and need to replace it with a new one."

Molly pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her face wore only an expression of official business.

"I have already canceled your appointment with Master Lei Lu and have rebooked with the bald Master from the Mechanical Research Institute, who will create a Spirit Gun exclusively for you."

"Therefore, I suggest exchanging for one Star Light Ruby, three Perfect Red Jades, twelve pieces of True Silver, one Moon Spirit Stone, two Sun Crystals, one Star Marrow Gold, and twenty Original Crystals, exactly 201 Iron Medals."

Rod exclaimed once again, "Molly, you are truly incredible."

After selecting the materials and leaving the warehouse, Rod completed a series of formalities and handed the 201 Iron Medals over to the quartermaster.

The quartermaster, after verifying everything, smiled and said, "Exactly right, Lord Rod, you calculated it precisely. I hope you can create the best weapons, eliminate more monsters, achieve more merits, and gain more honors. I hope to see you here again with even more Iron Medals next time."

Rod smiled and said, "Thank you for your good words, I will."

After leaving the Logistics Department, Molly called for a Floating Spirit Car.

The two of them got into the car and headed straight for the headquarters of the Mechanical Research Institute.

It was located in the southwest corner of the Inner City District, a vast complex of buildings primarily in white, with the main building being a peculiar hexagon.

Rod met the Institute’s overlord, the bald Master, here.

This was a man with a ferocious face, covered with layers of flesh, and a head as smooth as a pebble.

His real name had long been forgotten by people, who all called him the Bald Master. The shiny head was visibly clear even from a distance.

He was also a member of the Holy Fire project, which is why he agreed to personally make weapons for Rod.

Otherwise, as an overlord of one of Royal City’s most important institutions, he simply did not have the time to make Spirit Guns for individuals.

The Bald Master was very enthusiastic. On the way to the top-floor Spiritual Power Laboratory, he enthusiastically conversed with Rod.

"Little brother Rod, all the brothers and sisters of the Holy Fire project are eagerly looking forward to your success. You are the rising star appointed by Theodore. You are sure to break the deadlock and bring hope to everyone."

With a confident tone, Rod replied, "Rest assured, I have a perfect plan that can rapidly change the situation in Star Town. Just wait for the good news of my victory."

The Bald Master was very pleased, his facial muscles relaxed like a child afraid of school bullying.

"That’s wonderful! Let’s hurry, oh my inspiration is gushing out! The passion is surging! I can’t wait to create a super Spiritual Gun for you."

They quickened their pace to the upper level.

On the way, Rod noticed some placards on rooms.

Research Institute No. 107.

A line was written below: "Steam is everything."

Research Institute No. 109.

A line was also written below: "A million turrets, a million glories."

Research Institute No. 211.

"Thunder dominates all!"

Research Institute No. 301.

"Within the cone of light, there lies fate."

Research Institute No. 404.

"Mass, field, collapse, I have glimpsed the mysteries of the world!"

——

A peculiar feeling rushed towards him, prompting Rod to ask, "Master, what... is this?"

The Bald Master calmly smiled and said, "You wouldn’t understand; these are the efforts of those you see as madmen trying to save humanity. Please do not ridicule them."

You’re underestimating me... Rod was about to ask more when they had already arrived at the top-floor Spiritual Power Laboratory.

With a flash of Spiritual Light in the Bald Master’s hand, the door dispersed like building blocks.

Inside was a tidy and bright space, filled with various Spiritual Power Instruments.
