Chapter 764: Chapter 428: Monster (Please Vote)

Rod was startled and didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

Fire Holders are the most common warriors in Trolian, who ignite the Soul Fire through the Fire Trial; it’s everyone’s dream, even the common people know what a Soul Trait and Fire Spark are.

Tai Luo suddenly spoke up from the side.

"Are you a Shadow Warrior from Calier’s secret military unit?"

Annie raised her head proudly, "Of course, my father said that I am the greatest Shadow in history, a miracle unprecedented and never to be duplicated. When I’m ready, I can become the King who saves Humanity."

Rod frowned, noticing that behind Annie’s golden dress was a turned-up black robe. Instead of a flame symbol on her collar, there was a black sun.

Is this the real Calier’s secret military unit?

He had spent some time at a covert branch jointly established by Jinworth Academy and Calier’s secret unit, knowing that Calier’s secret forces espoused the law of the jungle, eliminating the weak in a brutal fashion to select the strong.

But, he hadn’t expected that Calier’s secret forces seemed not to be comprised of Fire Holders.

Tai Luo asked in a deep voice, "Are you a Black Inheritor?"

Rod whispered to Jessica, "What’s a Black Inheritor? I have some impression of it, but I can’t quite remember."

Jessica replied softly, "White represents resonance, black represents devouring. Black Inheritors gain Characteristics by devouring powerful soul fragments. The Black Spirit Series’ advantage is that it doesn’t require resonance pairing, and its threshold is much lower than the White Spirit Series, but the side effects are great, with potential risks of soul rejection, backlash, loss of control, and other conditions. Increasing power requires caution."

"Are there specialized practitioners of these two series in Royal City?"

"Yes, White Spirit Inheritors are mostly affiliated with the Silver Oath, and Black Inheritors with Calier’s secret forces. However, many Doomsday believers also use it to gain power, though their systems are quite primitive, with great side effects and high mortality rates. The best Black Spirit Systems are still in Calier’s secret forces."

Rod nodded, thinking to himself that she was a Black Inheritor.

But Annie showed a smug smile.

"No."

"Then you are..."

Annie replied straightforwardly, "None of them."

Tai Luo’s brows furrowed, and his expression darkened.

Annie turned her gaze to Rod, asking with a voice full of anticipation, "Big brother Rod, can we be friends?"

"Uh."

Rod choked up a bit, then quickly answered, "Of course, your dream is also my dream. People with a common dream are good friends from the moment they meet, aren’t they?"

A flash of golden text passed before his eyes.

Flower of Humanity +1

Rod was shocked, this works too?

Sometimes he couldn’t earn a Flower of Humanity despite his best efforts, and other times a simple sentence would do it. Could this be fate?

Annie’s expression was one of indescribable surprise and joy.

"That’s wonderful, we are friends now. So, can you help me?"

Uh, am I being tricked here?

Rod hesitated for a moment before asking, "What help do you need?"

Annie’s smile was radiant as a flower.

"I need your concern, encouragement, and love; my soul lacks them, which is why I’m never completely ready. Father said only by making true friends can I obtain them, and ultimately become the true King of Humanity, saving this world."

For a moment, Rod felt sure his expression must be extremely odd.

Is this a story about love and bravery? In the direst circumstances, love awakens the true power, revives the dying, jumps up to kill monsters with a single strike, saving Humanity?

Isn’t this a joke?

But at that moment, seeing her pure smile, Rod inexplicably agreed to her.

"Of course, friends should help each other. I believe you will ultimately achieve your dream."

Honestly, among the women Rod had seen, Annie was not especially beautiful, but her smile was exceptionally pure, like a crystal flower blooming.

"That’s great..."

Like witnessing the greatest happiness in the world, Annie had a lot to say, but then the black sun on her collar started to burn.

"Oh, sorry, my father is looking for me. I have to go. Thank you, big brother Rod. I will be the one to destroy Tasnia Starry Sky City."

The girl made a bright gesture and turned back into the crowd.

Rod scratched his head, glancing at the grim-faced Tai Luo and Jessica, and curiously asked, "Do you guys know who she really is?"

Tai Luo remained silent.

"Little Rod," Jessica spoke quietly, "I know why there are so many people here suddenly, look, the Great Priest Megan is here."

Rod followed her gaze and saw at the end of the hall, on the steps, stood an old man dressed in a robe with gold and red, holding a huge Magic Wand, gaunt and short.

"Is this... the Main Priest from the Fire Trial?"

Rod pulled up the memory from the depths, as that Main Priest had presided over the Fire Trial.

"What does it mean for him to be here?"

Jessica’s tone was complicated.

"Great Priest Megan, many years ago, was once the strongest Fire Son. After a certain covert operation, he left his position as Fire Son, vanished from the public eye. When he reappeared, he had become the Great Priest. He also presided over the secret laboratory under Stone City, becoming Calier’s puppet master behind the scenes."
