The Last King Of Darkness

Therefore, only after completing the necessary inspection would the Archbishop personally come to greet them.

Of course, he wouldn't come alone. Behind Horus, there was a large group of Fire Priests, two managers from the Royal City's logistics resource department, the universities' scholars from the Jinworth Society, Amides, Bins, Barrett, along with dozens of scholars and hundreds of logistics personnel.

"Rod, Liszt, Number 7, Number 9, I'm very glad to see you return to the Royal City safe and sound."

Horus said solemnly, his gaze sweeping across their faces and finally resting on Rod.

"The contributions you've made for humanity will forever shine in history."

Liszt was both surprised and moved; such a scenario had never occurred before.

But as he thought about the things they brought back, he felt this was completely justified.

A strong sense of trembling arose from his heart, and Liszt couldn't wait to speak, but before he could say anything, Horus spoke: "Rod, quickly take out the resources you've acquired."

Liszt hurriedly said: "Your Excellency Archbishop, this isn't the main point..."

Horus said in a deep voice: "Commander, this is the main point... we are currently very, very short on resources."

Logistics Resource Department's manager Hullen, a super bald man, immediately emerged from the crowd, shouting: "Commander, Fire Son, quickly take it out, I'm almost driven to death! The logistics reports are about to drown my desk! If resources are not provided for logistics soon, Lord Darlene will come to choke me to death!"

The other manager was a red-haired lady; Rod couldn't recall her real name, only knowing that everyone called her Wind.

Wind also shouted: "We were already short on resources, and it was difficult to meet daily needs. When the frontline battle began, the demand skyrocketed, and we simply couldn't keep up. Potions, various combat materials, spirituality materials, Fuel Element, Residual Fire, Residual Light, even lanterns have started to run out!"

Rod exclaimed: "Why are lanterns running out?"

Wind blinked her big round eyes and suddenly switched to a different tone:

"To craft lanterns with spirituality, spirituality materials are needed. Due to the increased demand in other areas, these materials aren't sufficient... My dear brother Rod, please give them to me. I'm truly famished and can't stand it anymore."

Liszt's eyes widened. Wind had been the logistics manager for three or four years, at least twenty-six or seven years old, a few years older than Rod, yet she called him dear brother.

And although he was clearly much older than Wind, she only ever called him Little Baldy.

It's worth mentioning that the Big Baldy is manager Jolevi Hullen.

He turned to look, and sure enough, Rod fell right into the trap.

Wind's appearance was charming, her eyes alluring, and when she softened her disposition and changed her voice, it was like she transformed into another person.

"Alright, we can release the other resources collected in the Ancient City."

Though his tone was inquiring, Rod's hands didn't stop moving as he took things out.

These resources should have been collected by Adam Yareel, only some of the doors and windows belonged to the Divine Tower.

Hullen and Wind's eyes immediately went straight.

"These are top-quality rubies!"

"My God, so many high-quality Radiant Stones?"

"Is this a door frame made of Wind Pattern Iron? Who's so extravagant?"

"Wow! Red Jade, Green Jade, Blue Jade... so many, so many!"

Not only them, but Archbishop Horus, scholar Amides, Bins, Barrett, and those hundreds of logistics personnel, the Fire Priests from the Holy Fire Sacrificial Ground, were all stunned.

Rod was also amazed; Adam Yareel was not only a mighty warrior but also an exceptionally strong Alchemist and Pharmacist. He collected an abundance of materials in the Divine Tower for thirty years, conducting meticulous alchemy, with some finished products that could be considered art!

Hullen continuously directed logistics personnel to classify them and send them back to the Royal City's main warehouse, his shiny bald head bobbing up and down in the crowd.

Wind gently touched each item, selecting any with internal flaws or deterioration, setting them aside.

Her sparkling eyes shone, and her rosy cheeks looked exceptionally alluring in the firelight.

The three great scholars examined each item meticulously, trying to find traces of history on them.

The Fire Priests surrounded the site with an intense Fire Ceremony to clear the residual pollution on the items.

This grand feast lasted for about half a clock hour, and by the time Rod's hands were exhausted, they had finished taking out all the materials brought back from the Divine City.

After completing all the storage work, a golden light flashed before Rod's eyes again.

Provide resources, bring hope, Divinity +15

Divinity: 179

Hahaha!

Rod burst out laughing.

This immediate gain of Divinity felt amazing!

The Book of Knowledge roared with laughter in his mind as well: "Hahaha, more Divinity has come, this is great, only this is the normal state, I'm finally not an idiot!"

Asa said irritably: "I know you're not an idiot, stupid book, could you stop shouting? You're disturbing my meal."

The Book of Knowledge roared angrily: "What did you say? You piece of environment-polluting crap! You've cost us a point of Divinity!"

Asa sneered: "The benefits I've brought to the master far exceed that single point of Divinity countless times over..."

The doll intervened, standing between them, and calmly said: "Stop fighting, it serves no benefit to you, the master doesn't like it."

Asa snorted, curled up again, and focused on devouring malevolent thoughts.
