Chapter 759: Chapter 426 Guardian (Please vote for me)_2

For a moment, countless beams of white light fell upon Jessica, and a bright flame descended from the sky, landing softly around her neck.

A tri-layered fire mark appeared on the collar of her robe.

The Bishop nodded contentedly and walked over to Tai Luo.

"May the light shine upon us forever!"

Tai Luo bowed, proclaiming loudly, "May the fire burn eternal, may the heroes never perish."

White light and flames fell upon him as well, and a tri-layered fire mark likewise appeared on his collar.

With an approving gaze, the Bishop turned to Rod, looked him up and down, then said with a smile, "You are an unexpected choice, congratulations to you, Black Glutton Rod."

Rod’s mouth twitched as he dryly said, "Thank you."

The Bishop’s expression turned solemn.

"May the Holy Fire always protect you."

Mimicking the others, Rod bowed and said, "As long as humanity endures, the flames will never extinguish, and dawn shall surely arrive."

The Bishop reached out a hand and gently touched him.

As fire and light descended, a tri-layered fire mark appeared on Rod’s collar too.

Well-pleased, the Bishop declared, "The ceremony is complete. Now, you are all Guardians of Trolian, bearing the hope and glory of the people, the legacy and splendor of the fire. I hope you all stay true to your hearts, firm in will, leading humanity to eternal light."

All three responded in unison, "We shall not fail in our mission."

The light from the statue of Trolian gradually dissipated, and the flames around the Bishop also faded, greatly relaxing the atmosphere of the place.

The Bishop walked over, patting their shoulders, and praised them, "Well done, well done, excellent young men and women, watching young Guardians come into being is like seeing the sunrise, my heart is filled with light."

Amendo walked up, a rare smile on his face as well.

"You are all precious forces of Trolian, and I hope you display your true strength in the upcoming battle for Starry Sky City."

He turned serious.

"Now, let me briefly explain the duties and powers of a Guardian."

"In a regional war, a Guardian typically holds the highest command, able to dictate the strategies and tactics of war, and to decide the deployment and allocation of personnel."

"If necessary, you can even forcibly conscript combatants below First Level, interrupt their missions, and command them. However, after the war, you will be subject to inquiry by the Royal City."

Tai Luo and Jessica both had a solemn expression as if they already knew this, only Rod was still unclear.

It seems the powers of a Guardian are indeed vast.

He thought to himself.

What can I do with this power?

For the moment, Rod had yet to think of an answer.

Amendo continued, "Regarding the order of battle, the Military War Department has the right to make suggestions, but you can refuse to follow them. The only ones who can command you are the First Defense Chief Dalin, the seven Fire Sons, the four Knight Captains and the King."

He paused for a moment before adding,

"However, in the battlefield of Starry Sky City, there are no combatants below First Level, so at times, you’ll need to learn to cooperate with each other."

Rod slapped his chest and said, "Don’t worry, First Elder, I’m the best at cooperation. No one is better at it than me, even Sir Alan said it was good working with me. We are the perfect partners, rampaging through the Heroic Spirit Hall, sending evil monsters fleeing in utter disarray."

Amendo shot him a glance.

"Young man, you’d better be humble—anyone would look good working with Alan."

Rod chuckled awkwardly to change the subject, "What is Sir Alan doing now?"

Amendo replied shortly, "He has a more important task. This is not something you need to concern yourself with. Now, I must tell you how to use the mark of the Fire Crown."

"Press your hand to the mark, channel Spiritual Energy, and with a soul’s attunement, you will be able to see nearby fire marks and establish contact with them."

Rod did as instructed and indeed saw other fire marks in his spiritual world.

All of them were layered threefold, signifying the mark of a Guardian,

Rod counted roughly, finding there were only about a dozen.

Amendo went on.

"The second way to use it, channel more Spiritual Energy, input a message, and this energy will transform into a Spirit Crow Messenger and fly to the Fire Hall. But be warned, there is a risk involved, as the Hall might not receive your call for help."

"The third way, place your finger upon the mark and gently stir with your soul, and you shall receive the fire’s blessing. This can restore your Spiritual Energy, temporarily enhance your strength, and block a fatal attack."

Amendo’s expression then darkened, and he paused,

"The fourth method, connect only with your soul, touching the lowermost mark, become one with it, and the fire will spread through your soul, reducing you to ashes. This is used when you are out of options and facing death to prevent you from turning into a monster. It will also do its utmost to broadcast your coordinates, so we can find your ashes and return them to the embrace of the fire, to the Holy Fire."

Everyone fell silent, and Rod inadvertently thought of Lily.

Did she die this way?

Having given her all, slaying the most monsters, only to then activate the fire’s crown and turn to ash.

Rod felt his mood sink, and he strived to rid himself of the negative emotions.

As long as I am strong enough, such things will not happen again.
