The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 93 - 73: Dispute

Chapter 93: Chapter 73: Dispute

At the other end of the spire hall, a man about thirty years old was sitting.

He was dressed in a cyan and white robe with a three-tier flame symbol at the collar, his features sharp, greasy black hair evenly draped down from both sides, a massive hooked nose, and his eyes were cold and profound.

"Lord Gula."

He said indifferently.

"How are things?"

Manolo Bana bowed slightly, "Your Excellency Jon, Theodore is gravely ill, his mind unclear, he made a very foolish move, we are assured of victory."

Jon’s cold black eyes looked at him.

"Lord Gula, before I truly inherit the throne of the Fire King, it’s premature to claim victory."

Manolo Bana smiled, "Rest assured, Wolfgang von Jon, your name will be engraved upon the King Artifact. Your soul trait strength far surpasses the other competitors, and your wise ideology is the correct path for the future of Trolian. Under your guidance, humanity can achieve true peace."

Jon said coldly, "Let’s hope so."

Manolo Bana bowed, "So it must be."

Jon said nothing more, and flicked his fingers lightly, causing the flames in the hall’s fireplace to blaze fiercely.

This was not a natural flame but the Guardian Fire, which theoretically could become the Holy Fire as long as it was strong enough.

Every human settlement existed around it, the real limitation to Trolian’s expansion was the number of Guardian Fires.

Without it, no living being could exist long in the eternal Black Fog.

To have the Guardian Fire exist in a private fireplace was not something that could be done merely by the status of the Great Judgement Chief of the Internal Affairs Court.

Only a King Candidate could do so.

Every king of Trolian was born from the King Candidates.

And the requirement to become a King Candidate was very simple.

Ignite the Soul Fire, become a bearer of the Enchanted Fire (Spirit Fire Series), and acquire the most important soul trait that has ever appeared in humanity:

"Eternal Burning Fire"

It was so rare that only four people in the entire Trolian Kingdom possessed it.

The King.

Wolfgang von Jon.

Aligali Dan Qingyu.

Modric Lao Xingge.

Once the old King’s soul returned to the Holy Fire, the next King would be born from Jon, Qingyu, and Xingge.

Only they, with the "Eternal Burning Fire" trait, could resonate with the Holy Fire, gain its power, maintain its stability, and ensure that the Holy Fire never extinguished.

The resonant object of the Holy Fire could only be one.

Those who decided who qualified to be King were the Elders in the Supreme Council, all of whom were persons of outstanding merit in the Kingdom, enjoying high prestige in the legion or the council hall.

The criteria of judgement were the actions and merits since the three became candidates.

According to Trolian tradition, a King Candidate would also serve as a Guardian, becoming the highest officer of a defense zone, responsible for protecting the lives and safety of all civilians under the zone.

Jon was the Guardian of the Seventh Defense Zone, Qingyu was the Guardian of the Twelfth Defense Zone, and Xingge was the guardian of the Fourteenth Defense Zone.

At present, Jon was the most likely candidate to become King, but Qingyu’s emergence posed a strong challenge, her performance in the Twelfth Defense Zone had won her much appreciation from many Elders.

He must change this situation, strike at Qingyu.

And Manolo Bana had already found an excellent point of attack.

The sole survivor from Redstone Village, Rod.

Since Qingyu had protected him with her influence, then proving him to be a Doomsday believer would severely undermine Qingyu and her supporters’ arrogance.

Although there were some complications in the plan, it did not affect the continuation of its implementation, Manolo Bana believed he could soon kill that arrogant vermin.

Although the other three Great Judges leaned toward him, the Internal Affairs Court was not just made up of him alone.

Three massive figures stepped out from the flames, bowing deeply to Jon at the high seat.

They were the Chief Judges of the Royal City.

"Your Excellency Jon, may the fire protect you forever."

Jon nodded slightly, "Gentlemen, I would like to know if Lord Lucian’s attitude has changed."

The three Chief Judges looked at each other and said softly, "The Judgment Chief, as before, is unwilling to partake in matters of passing on the fire."

Jon nodded, this was expected. Lucian was a conservative who followed the old ways; as long as he didn’t lean toward Qingyu or Xingge, although the real decision-makers were the Elders, a powerful authority could do too much.

"How is the Red Stone Village case going?"

"We have basically confirmed that it was done by the Polluter Sect of the Doomsday Sect. They seem to have acquired a very powerful item that can slightly alter a person’s fate. The pseudo-governor Alex managed to displace the original governor’s fate in this way. Their goal is to find a certain Relic, ultimately to summon the Evil God or to replace it."

"Guardian Qingyu is also investigating; this happened in the Twelfth Defense Zone, they have the right and are making rapid progress."

Jon said quietly, "Interfere with them, we absolutely can’t let them catch the culprit faster than us, if necessary, let the Doomsday believer escape but be careful not to leave any trace."

"Yes."

"Lord Gula, you know what to do with the rest."

Manolo Bana bowed, "Rest assured, Rod will be proven to be a heinous, utterly depraved, murdering and lascivious Doomsday believer, I already have ample evidence."
