Summoning the Holy Sword

The entrance to the Blackstone Abyss is located in an underground passage in the mine on the north side of Shenshicheng. It is said that it was a relic of a dwarf kingdom long ago, but now it is just a slightly flat mine in the eyes of everyone. When Rhodes led his men down to the entrance of the underground passage, he was seeing two mercenaries who looked like they were leaning on the table by the wall, drinking cards and drinking, and looking at them, it seemed completely entrusted to the His mission is indifferent. It wasn't until Rhodes coughed slightly that they turned back in confusion, and then when they saw Rhodes, they immediately jumped up and gave the other side a slight nervousness.

"Mr. Rhode! Hello, we are ..."

"I'm here to fulfill the bet. They didn't come out of it."

As he said, Rhode reached out his finger to the underground hole on the side, and the two mercenaries looked at each other with a little embarrassment, and then nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Rhodes, we can guarantee that no one came out of it."

"So, can I go down now?"

"Of course, as you wish."

Hearing this sentence, the two mercenaries were also relieved. One of them quickly took out the key and opened the iron door at the entrance of the underground passage. Then he raised the torch, shook it inside to confirm it, and then nodded again. .

"Yes, Lord Rhodes, they did not come out. By agreement, you can go in."

"Very well, you have worked hard these days."

After hearing this, Rhodes came to the mercenary and patted him on the shoulder, then took out two gold coins and quietly stuffed it in his hands, which immediately made the two mercenaries happy, although the caretaker was a It's very easy to work, but it's too boring to spend all day in this place where the sky is missing. Now that Rhodes is here, it means that their boring caretaker can come to an end, and then just return to report.

"Don't be so polite, Lord Rhodes, we're just acting on orders. May I ask what else you can help? If it is useful to us, please let me know."

With the benefit of Rhodes, the enthusiasm of the two mercenaries also improved, and they arbitrarily packed the cards and wine glasses on the table and asked. However, Rhodes apparently did not want them to do anything. When he realized his eyes, the two didn't talk much about each other. Instead, they quickly packed up their things and immediately turned away.

It wasn't until the two left that Rhode looked back, looking at the men who had been following him.

Marilyn, Annie and Li Jie stood right next to him, and then came Joey and Lando and Kavos, while the other mercenaries stood quietly behind them, watching It seemed very obedient. But only Kavos knew how tricky these guys were in the previous paragraph. They were very dissatisfied with the way Rhode asked himself to collect magic plants in the forest at dusk. In the eyes of these mercenaries, this was obviously suppressing themselves, because if only To collect magic plants, it only takes a short time for the pharmacist to let these mercenaries do this kind of thing, which is obviously overkill.

But when the three brothers of Carvos appeared in front of them with two boxes of excellent equipment, the attitude of these mercenaries immediately changed 180 degrees. They have never seen a mercenary regiment that would be so generous and give them such sophisticated weapons. Before that, they could only lie down and salivate in the face of these weapons, but now they can actually do it themselves Pick up these things!

Generous people are welcome wherever they are, and Rhode's move immediately changed the attitude of those mercenaries who were still embarrassed by being "oversized". Originally, these mercenaries were interested in joining Starlight. It is not that I have no idea in my heart. After all, Rhode's "famous name" is out, and after listening to his "glorious deeds", it is difficult not to associate this young man with pride and brutality, but now it seems that regardless of whether the head is proud or brutal, at least He is generous, a generous person, it should not be bad.

And what happened after that was that these mercenaries were completely shocked, and they couldn't find anything from north to south. From Kavos, they learned that they were actually eligible to receive magic potions!

You know, that's a magic potion! If these sophisticated weapons are luxury goods that mercenaries can only dream of in dreams, then magic potions belong to the existence they never dreamed of having. But now they actually have these things in their hands, isn't this really a dream?

If these mercenaries were just a little "favorable" to Rhodes before, now they have begun to "worship". A mercenary commander who can take out so many well-equipped equipment and magic potions, although he can't fight to the point where he can die for him, but relying on these things, his life is enough!

And if Rhodes can prove that he really has the ability to lead these mercenaries, then these mercenaries will not mind accepting him.

Rhode certainly didn't know the psychological activities of these mercenaries, but he didn't care about them, as long as the results were good, everything was fine. Now that these mercenaries are willing to obey their orders obediently, they can say everything. He also knows that there are more people now. Although it may seem prestigious on the surface, it is easy for people to get confused if they have more heart. In the past, the number of stars was not enough. Under pressure, everyone should be twisted into a rope. Anything can be done. But now that there are more people, their pressure is relieved. As soon as the pressure is light, it is difficult to say whether they can still be as good as before.-This is also the case in many player guilds in the game. Work together, but once the guild grows, then everything comes ......... and now it seems that these mercenaries are at least willing to listen to his orders, which is enough for Rhodes.

"I think you are ready to fight."

Looking at the heavily armed mercenaries in front of him, Rhodes waved his hands and then said.

"And I know you are nervous and curious, but I can tell you here that if you are willing to fully obey my orders, then I promise you nothing will happen. The situation in the dark abyss is quite complicated, and the only thing I can reveal at the moment is You have to deal with some troublesome problems in advance-if you want me to describe it, it is not easy to say, but imagine it is a flying poisonous insect, I think you should understand how to deal with it. "

Hearing Rhode's words, the mercenaries nodded, and they were not newcomers like Lando, and they had been mercenaries for so many years. They hadn't experienced anything, so Rhodes only needed to mention a little and they knew What to do.

"Marin."

Having said that, Rhode stopped for a moment and looked at Marine.

"I need you to keep the flame shield all the way, and Li Jie is the same. Your shield must prioritize yourself. This journey is long and we need to face many dangers, so I hope you will be well prepared. , Reasonably allocate your own soul power and avoid problems. "

"Okay, Mr. Rhodes."

Upon hearing Rhode's reminder, both nodded their heads in response. Following Rhodes for so long, they have known that as long as Rhode specifically mentions something, it is usually the next important point. So Malin and Li Jie quickly recorded Rod's words.

"Let's go."

Seeing their performance, Rhode nodded, and then he turned around and walked into the underground passage.

There was silence in the dark passage.

Rhode walks in front, Li Jie keeps the sacred light behind her, and next to her are Marlene and Annie and Celia—as usual, Rhode certainly won't let angel girls come out to help Opportunity. At the moment Celia was walking indifferently, gathering her wings, not paying attention to the mercenaries' eyes behind her. Behind them were other mercenaries, who held torches and looked around and at the ceiling. Carefully walked, because Rhodes purposely reminded, these mercenaries naturally also moved the set to deal with poisonous insects in order to avoid a sudden attack.

"...!"

In the distance of the passage, a slight sound sounded.

Hearing this voice, Rhodes moved slightly and clenched his fists.

Seems successful!

You know, the reason why Rhodes agreed to Barney's gamble was not just because of a momentary interest, but in fact, when taking this task, Rhodes was distressed about one thing, that is, about this task The characteristics of the copy-unlike many other copies, the copy of Blackrock Abyss is not open at one time. On the contrary, the first time is only to open and wake up sleeping bosses and mobs, and then come in again to be considered the real start .

This setting is very unpleasant for many gamers and streamers, who think it is not interesting. However, there are still some story parties cheering for this. They think that this is a reasonable development. It is impossible that every time you enter the copy, the boss is waiting for you to kill you, right? Is n’t this more realistic and more challenging?

Although not everyone agrees with this statement, but this copy is like this, what can you do?

So after that, the player made two choices --- either take off the equipment and go naked to open the monster, and then go out to run and re-enter. Either open the monster directly and then kill, the latter of course has high requirements on the player's technical level and strength, not everyone can do it. And when the monster was opened for the first time, all the monsters came out from the last boss, so if you are not strong enough, it is impossible to end the entire copy of the monster with the boss.

It was for this reason that Rhodes hesitated at the beginning. He could not let his subordinates die for nothing, but with their current strength, it was impossible to choose the second path. So Rhodes was very hesitant at that time.

However, Barney's initiative appeared to help Rhodes solve this problem. Since the other party wants to help himself to complete this difficult task, Rhodes certainly does not mind. Not to mention he had warned each other, but unfortunately they did not listen to their own warnings. In that case, what more could Rhodes say?

Now Rhodes only hopes that Barney has completed his mission and has successfully awakened the boss ......... From the voice just now, it sounds like it is indeed successful.

"Everyone is ready to fight immediately."

Thinking of this, Rhode quickly issued an order.
