"In the long night, the fire is passed from hand to hand, and the embers never go out." - Playwright

"The goal of this game is to become the new 'king'. The memory has been sealed, and the props and abilities on the body will be adjusted to fit the image of this world."

The one who called Wu Hui was the Witch King.

At this time, the Witch King looked exhausted and had just fallen from the crow state next to Wu Hui.

It has been two years since the sun went out again. A lot of things have happened in these two years. The situation is getting worse and worse, as if it has returned to the time when darkness just fell and King Xin did not appear yet.

The number of doomsday sects has increased a lot. Various monsters will appear out of thin air in the darkness. Even the Black King himself is wreaking havoc everywhere.

The two bright factions are leaderless. Although Lewis, who was invested by Wu Hui, has gradually developed into the largest faction, he is not a king and it is difficult to convince the public.

The firewood produced by the Fire King is getting less and less day by day.

In order to maintain the survival of mankind, the Witch King is now running around every day. Today he took the time to visit the Dark-free City managed by Wu Hui.

"Teacher." Wu Hui greeted the Witch King. He was also very busy. Although he now has the strongest strength below the king level, it has no effect on the overall situation.

There are still too few things that one person can do, and he does not rely on combat power. Most of the time, he summons various creatures to move bricks and do work.

He is no longer the manager of a place without dark cities. Now more than half of the cities in the world are directly or indirectly managed by Wu Hui. Various mass-produced magical industrial products are spread, allowing everyone to live in darkness.

It's a little better.

"Actually, you can call me father." The Witch King smiled: "After all, you are an orphan and you are married.

You have my daughter, right?"

Wu Hui did not answer: "What are you doing here?"

He married the Witch King's daughter Lei Yin (Ren Yin's identity in the game) a year ago. Since then, he has completely taken over most of the political power. He also took over his side when King Xin became increasingly unable to act.

of many towns.

He is now the Chief Consul of the Covenant of Kings, the leadership class.

But no matter how strong his management skills are, he cannot withstand the deterioration of the situation day by day. There may not be that much a wise man can do in the face of the tide of the times.

Do your best and do your best, and no one can say you are wrong.

But it is meaningless, and darkness is still coming day by day. In recent years, the research on solar debris has also reached a bottleneck. What Wu Hui once said about finding ways to eliminate darkness now seems to be just empty words to boost morale.

Sun debris is the remnant after the sun was extinguished by darkness for the second time. It can help people shield themselves from the erosion of the spirit by darkness.

The erosion is very serious now, and coupled with the lack of firewood, residents in many gathering places in the wilderness have suffered from mental and physical alienation caused by darkness on a large scale.

Ordinary people tend to discriminate against and drive away such dangerous and polluted people. In the end, they usually join the doomsday sect and cause trouble everywhere.

The Witch King and Wu Hui didn't chat for long before they turned into crows and flew away again. I don't know where another problem arose that was difficult to solve.

Nowadays, only the Witch King, Soul King, and Dream King are left with human king-level combat power. The old king White King is dead. The Black King is not the same as everyone.

individual. but necessary

The number of problems that only a king can solve is increasing day by day.

Wu Hui looked at various data compiled by the consul's secretary Gwen (Lin Qingwen).

Recently, there have been more and more attacks by doomsday sects. He plans to send Emily to organize some reliable dark corroders, who will gain sanity through the power of sun debris, and specifically deal with the doomsday sects active in the city. They can be considered a group of usable ones.

of combat effectiveness.

The name is, Night Watchman.

Today he has another thing to do, which is to meet Lewis.

The former priests of the Illuminati, or those at the New Sun Research Institute, have been reorganized many times in the past two years, and many have died. Some committed suicide after seeing the gods fall, while others collapsed and lost their strength. There are also some who are fighting against the darkness.

On the front line, losses were heavy.

Lao Liu is the last one. He and his followers now have a new name, the Bright Front.

Of course, the Bright Front has always been a bit of a mercenary, and Lao Liu didn't have the energy to manage the territory. But he knew it wouldn't work to continue like this, so he decided to join the Alliance of Kings.

There is also a method to join in. Direct dialogue with the governors of the Kings Alliance like Wu Hui is naturally the best way.

After all, Wu Hui has been funding them over the years, and the two parties have a basis for cooperation.

"You're here." Wu Hui took the time to meet with Liu Dangren: "Do you need to be polite? Or should you go straight to the point?"

Liu Dangren smiled: "Let's get straight to the point. We don't have time to waste now."

The conditions given by Wu Hui are good. The Bright Front can maintain its own structure without reorganization, and can recruit people on the territory of the Kings Alliance. Wu Hui and the others directly rely on finance.

Raise this group of fighting power.

But at the same time, it also has to protect most of the areas under the Alliance of Kings, and is mainly responsible for fighting against the darkness in the wilderness.

The Night Watch only deals with doomsday cultists and is of a security nature. The Light Front is a real army. And they are all extraordinary people. It is difficult to manage and utilize them. Wu Hui does not have that much energy, so he can only trust Liu Dangren.

, giving him more autonomy.

After the two sides chatted, there were still many details to finalize for the subordinates. But even just like this, an afternoon passed.

"There is still some time, we can talk about other things." Wu Hui took a cup of tea from Lin Qingwen's hand. The taste of this tea was very ordinary. There is no good tea these days. Everyone has practical value.

thing.

Luxury goods are becoming increasingly rare.

The money was used for things like weapons and recruiting soldiers. It was used for people's livelihood development... not much. The private factories that Wu Hui expected back then were rarely opened. Everyone really didn't have any spare money for investment and economic development.

Don't think about it at all.

"It's very hard." Liu Dangren said: "There are firewood everywhere now, and the darkness is getting heavier and heavier. No matter how good you are, there is no point unless you can create firewood."

"It's not impossible." Wu Hui said.

"You are of greater significance to this world now. The Alliance of Kings would be half paralyzed without you. After I hand over the Bright Front to you, you will definitely not let them down, right?" Liu Dangren said.

Wu Hui: "...are you going to inherit the power of King Xin?"

This is not a good thing. After all, becoming the salary king means that everything about you will be burned. Now everyone even connects the name of the salary king with what he once did.

I forgot everything.

"Although you are the most suitable, as the second most suitable, I shouldn't be too bad, right?" Liu Dangren said.

Wu Hui made no comment. He just touched the tea cups with Liu Dangren.
