Summoning the Holy Sword

After two days, Rhodes finally sent Lando to call the three brothers Carvos to his study. Although the three men came back with their subordinates early in the morning, Rhodes never gave them any order, which made the three of them Somewhat uneasy. Now he was ordered by Rhodes, and they were soon ordered.

When they entered the room, the three saw Rhodes sitting at his desk, and he did not know what he was doing. Next to him was Christie, who was holding a book and reading quietly. When she saw the three men walking into the room, Christie hurriedly lowered the book in her hand and stood up to salute the three. Kavos, Obertan and Derriet responded hastily. But in the face of their actions, Rhodes didn't look up, as if he hadn't even noticed them coming in. This made the three former mercenary commanders a little embarrassed. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do. The atmosphere changed a little awkwardly for a while, and after Christie greeted the three, she sat back in the chair holding the book and opened the distance with the three again.

Fortunately, Rhodes finally looked up at this time.

"sit down."

He made a gesture to the three, and after seeing Rhodes' movement, they were relieved, and then sat in the chair in front of Rhodes.

"What did I tell you to do before?"

"It's a shame, head of command."

Kavos among the three immediately took the word. Although he still said so much, there was a little faintness in the words. Rhodes aired them for so many days, so that the three fully understand their current position and status, so in order to restore the cost of their previous reckless behavior, Carvos now does not mind lowering.

"As you ordered, we have collected quite a lot of magic plants. The specific list is here ..."

Saying that, Kavos took out a piece of paper and handed it over, but Rhode put it beside him without looking. Obviously, he didn't care about such trivial matters.

"Now that you are back, let's talk about business next."

After hearing this, Kavos and others immediately sat up straight. They were not stupid. With the lifting of the mercenary association's ban, the mercenary regiments began to take up tasks. As a series of incidents in the past, not only Suffering losses, but the growing starlight did not make sense to take over the task. So will they play a role in this? In fact, Kavos and others have no spectrum in their hearts. Before they joined Starlight, they also thought that joining themselves and their subordinates would make Starlight grow stronger. This should belong to a strong alliance. But Rhodes told them with facts that this was not a union but a annexation. Since you have joined my mercenary regiment, that is, my subordinates, you have no other preferential treatment. If you change those young and vigorous guys, maybe you can't help but want to tear your skin and compete with Rhodes. But for Kavos, Obertan, and Derriet, they have already passed that age, and their mercenary life has taught them how to stay calm in the face of such twists and turns. It is not terrible to make a mistake. As long as you recognize the mistake, you have the opportunity to correct it. The terrible thing is that you make mistakes again and again. The last mistake is the worst.

After setting their minds, Kavos and others found out that perhaps for Rhodes, they are not the best choice. If you think about it, since Rhodes can challenge high-level tasks with uneven numbers of people, and can also succeed very perfectly, this has already proven his strength. And now the people around him have been following Rod for some time. They ca n’t compete with each other in terms of tacit understanding or trust. In parallel, if their mercenary group also has a group of tacit cooperation, there is no problem in completing the task. Companions, do you still think those newcomers are heavy?

Because of this, everyone is no longer tangled on this issue. On the contrary, when their subordinates are dissatisfied or even complained about Rhodes for their neglect, they have to stand up to appease these mercenaries, after all Rhodes has understood They told their own attitudes without error. Whoever would be an idiot to hit him was the most unwise choice.

And now, hearing that Rhode finally started to enter the topic, the three were excited, which shows that Rhodes has accepted them, and this is the most important.

Rhodes didn't know the mood and thoughts of the three brothers, and he didn't care.

"Two days ago, I have received a commission from a mercenary association, and I believe you have heard about it."

Not long after Rhodes left the mercenary association, the bet that he and Barney had spread throughout the entire Deep Rock. Of course Rhodes knew who did it for what, but he didn't care. The grasshoppers after the fall can't jump for a few days anyway, and there's nothing wrong with them.

"I called you today for this matter. In a few days, we will set off for the Blackrock Abyss, so I asked you to come to be prepared, and we will be out of the mission together, so I hope here For some time, you can strengthen your strength-starting today, the training ground is officially open to you. If you have nothing to do, I hope you can show a clear attitude. Kavos. "

"Yes, chief, what's the order?"

After hearing Rhode's shout, Kavos quickly stood up.

"These people ......... including your two brothers are your responsibility. If something happens, it is also your responsibility. At that time, I will divide your team into two teams, responsible for guarding and attacking. Think about it yourself. Think about what to do, and hope you don't let me down. "

"Yes, chief, I promise there will be no problems."

After hearing Rhode ’s words, Kavos ’heart was really let go. If Rhodes let them still follow their orders, then Rhodes still did not treat these mercenaries. In your heart. Now, he is willing to let himself be responsible for these mercenaries, he has already recognized their status in disguise, and then, whether they can stabilize their status depends on their own efforts.

"well."

Upon hearing Kavos' answer, Rhode nodded, then he reached out and pointed to the side.

"But in your current state, I'm really worried about whether you can complete the task, so I prepare something for you-as a reward for completing my order."

Looking in the direction of Rod's fingers, the three brothers quickly found two large wooden boxes placed in the corner of the study. They looked simple and inconspicuous. This puzzled the three brothers. They glanced at each other, wondering what Rhodes had prepared for them, but they still obeyed Rhode's order and went forward to open the wooden box, and when they saw what was inside Almost everyone took a breath.

These two wooden boxes are filled with a variety of sophisticated weapons and equipment. Among them are armor, leather armor and helmets, as well as long swords, crossbows and some shields. The gear looks very clean and sparkles like new. If it weren't for the fact that the size and style of these weapons and equipment were not very uniform, Kavos would even think that this would be something from the munitions of the young man.

Not only that, but judging from the faint magic light shining inside, there are even a few magic weapons!

Holy spirit bless, I am not dreaming!

Kavos quietly squeezed his thigh, and then took out one of the daggers with trembling. He slowly turned the blade and soon saw an inconspicuous green light flashing from above, it was obvious This is the characteristic of magic weapons.

Not only was Kavouss surprised, but even Obertan and Derriet changed their faces slightly. They lowered their heads, looked at the equipment of this wooden box in surprise, then raised their heads and couldn't believe it. De, his eyes are full of wonder and wonder. With so many sophisticated equipment and weapons, and even the products of magic, how did Rhodes get these things?

If Annie is here, then she must be able to answer the doubts of these mercenaries-because these things are what Anne brought back from the black pine ruins.

Although Rhodes received an inexplicable attack at the end of the adventure of the ruins, he did not give up searching for the loot at his hand. The so-called "Since he has been poisoned, so Suo even licked the plate". For Rhodes, since the other party can easily bruise himself, it is only a matter of seconds to kill him. , And the other party did not do so, it means that he did not mean to kill himself. Rather than choosing to flee for this irresistible danger, it would be better to simply ask for the surname to stay and slowly pack up the booty. After spending so much time here, you ca n’t go back empty-handed.

So Rhodes commanded Annie to pluck all the merchandise and equipment from the mercenaries into his own space bag. Not only that, when he left the ruins, he also rushed to fight from time when he was away from the ruins because he was in a hurry. A lot of magic equipment was found on the goblin corpses-anyway, here is also a low-level copy, there are always some equipment.

The only regret is that Annie does not seem to have a "hand of god" like Marlene. All she can touch are relatively ordinary equipment, and those rare and rare equipment are unexpectedly destroyed in battle. No **** left ... Of course, for Rhodes, who is nearing level 20 and is about to advance, these magic weapons with special surnames such as "sharp", "toxin + 1", and "bleeding" are all It has been unable to keep up with the requirements of the elimination of goods, if viewed from the player's point of view, these equipments are meaningless except for selling them to the store for a few dollars. But for mercenaries, such weapons are already beyond their dreams. Not to mention that the three mercenary regiments such as Kavos were dissolved because of the "economic crisis". Their mercenaries did not have any particularly good equipment. Many people now wear worn and repaired armor and take All of them are very ordinary and even old weapons with some gaps and blades. Even so, they all treat these things as babies.

Now, they can have such good equipment! This is almost like an unreal fantasy, is this true?

"Thank you for your reward, leader!"

Kavos returned with a tremor, then immediately stood up straight and saluted Rod deeply, as did Obertan and Derriet.

"I promise I won't let you down!

"Don't thank me."

Rhode waved. He didn't actually take these things to heart, but the equipment of the Diamond Mercenary Group is really good. Maybe they have the name of the upstart and so they have the behavior of the upstart. Although the equipment removed from those mercenaries is not Reaching the level of magic equipment, but also can see that it is very sophisticated first-class goods-and for these things can be used to improve the strength of his mercenary regiment, Rhodes naturally does not hesitate to smile.

"I said, this is your remuneration. After collecting so many magical plants in the forest at dusk, naturally you should get the corresponding remuneration, right?"

Although Rhodes' tone is very understatement, Kavos would definitely not think so. He knows that those magic plants are worth a few dollars. Except that some places are dangerous and difficult to pick, these magic plants are sold. It's not enough to buy a magic dagger!

But Kavos hadn't had time to respond, and Rhodes threw another heavy bomb and stunned the three again.

"By the way, be prepared for your ministry to pick up potions from Labis. Five bottles of flame and healing potions per person. I hope you can remember that these are for your own use. I don't want to see anyone Take them out for sale, do you understand?

Magic potion! ?

Is this true?

Kavos was dizzy, and he barely heard what Rhode was saying. He had certainly heard from Shana and others about Rhodes giving them magic potions. However, Kavos has been a little dubious about this, but now he has almost no idea how to respond ......... He has led the mercenary group for so many years and has never heard of similar things. Which mercenary group would actually give his subordinates so many magical equipment and potions? The Holy Spirit is up, I am afraid even those large mercenary guilds are impossible!

"What about the answer?"

Rhode's inquiry brought Kavos back, and he almost nodded subconsciously.

"Yes, no problem, leader, I assure you that nothing can go wrong!"

Until now, three talents, such as Kavos, have truly found that joining Starlight by themselves is definitely a right choice.

Soon, the three left with two wooden boxes, and the study returned to quiet again. Rhode sighed, shook his head, and leaned back in his chair. Just then, a pair of little hands held the steaming tea cup and placed it in front of Rhodes.

"... Rhod ... are you tired?"

"There are some."

Looking at Christie who was watching him worriedly, Rhode smiled softly. He reached out and stroked Christie's hair lightly. Christie narrowed her eyes like a kitten, and when she saw her smile, Rhodes felt very relaxed.

Is this brother or sister?

Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but be a little bit dreamy. His sister has been living in the hospital and has never been by his side like Christie. Rhodes does not know what is the difference between brothers and sisters and ordinary men and women. This was the case with his friends in high school. The brothers and sisters were always inseparable, and Rhodes was very curious as to why they would not be bored at all. Facing Rhode's inquiry, his friend did not give a reasonable answer, but Rhode didn't care about it.

Unlike Rhodes, although the brothers and sisters look similar, they are still within the normal range. But it is interesting that their names are pronounced the same, and in many cases, Rhodes has made fun of them.

Youlian, Youlian, really interesting names.

Recalling the past, Rhode laughed lightly, and at this moment, a weird word suddenly appeared in his ear.

"Lai, ya, beiramiterhafura."

"Christie?"

Rhode turned his head and saw the scene where Christie covered her mouth in amazement. Facing Rhode's doubtful look, the girl shook her head uneasily.

"I, I don't know ... Rhode ... These words, it occasionally jumps out on its own, I don't know what this means ... Did I say something bad?"

"Don't worry, Christie."

After hearing Christie's uneasy excuse, Rhodes shook his head. He naturally remembered that when he asked the old village chief, the other party had said that sometimes Christie would suddenly say something that other people did not understand. .

"Don't worry, Christy, you didn't say anything bad, rest assured, this is not your problem."

Rhode comforted Christie softly, and when he heard him, Christie's original nervous expression gradually relaxed, and a soft smile appeared again.

But ......... that's an abyss.

Rhodes patted Christie's head without saying much on the surface, but he was a little puzzled deep inside.

Abyssal language, from the depths of hell, used by the devil. In the world of the Dragon Soul Continent, people who understand this language have only their natural enemies, apart from devils and mages. But Christie apparently didn't learn the language. Not only that, according to the information obtained in Gaoya Village before, Christie did not have any education, but he could write, even the books in Rod's room. She can understand. Although there are some esoteric places that are incomprehensible to girls, if it is just to understand, Christie has no problem.

This is indeed a strange thing for a girl who has never been educated.

What made Rhodes more concerned was what Christie said just now. That sentence translates to "beware of the nightmare of sleeping in the abyss".

How did she know about this?
