Summoning the Holy Sword

Under this old man's story, Rhodes soon understood the ins and outs of the matter.

In fact, things are not complicated. The reason lies in the task of the frozen lake. Before Rhodes, many mercenary guilds had come here to try their luck for many years, but because the ice devil was very troublesome and difficult to deal with, many The mercenary guilds are all coming back, which is not surprising for Rhodes. If those people have succeeded, where can they get their hands to complete this task now?

The problem lies in these failed mercenaries.

These mercenaries failed to destroy the ice demon, patted their butts and left, but they suffered the residents who lived near the frozen lake. Although the mercenaries were defeated in the face of the Ice Demon, no matter what, they all turned into the Ice Demon and awakened the Ice Demon from their deep sleep—any life was awakened by people when they fell asleep. But there is no good temper, and those mercenaries can pat their **** and leave, and these residents have to face the anger of the ice demon. Although the ice demon enclosed by the frozen lake cannot leave the lake, but However, it can create some low-level water monsters to disturb nearby villages and towns, and connect them several times, making the residents of Lvshu Town miserable. Not only that, after each battle with the mercenaries, the Ice Demon will absorb the water from the water source to make up for its losses. This also causes the villages and lakes on the shore of the Frozen Lake to become waterless, at least one month, and more For half a year, these residents will face the plight of lack of water. Although they can also go to the Frozen Lake to crush the ice there, but everyone knows that there is a terrible monster under it. Is there any problem with eating the water there? These townspeople are naturally worried.

At the beginning, these townspeople can still grit their teeth and endure. In any case, as long as this monster can be destroyed, everything will return to normal. But after so many years, the ice demon has not been destroyed, these residents finally can not bear it anymore. Although the previous life was also very bitter, but when the mercenaries did not come to provoke the Ice Demon, they were able to survive anyway, and their ability to adapt was very strong. But now, repeated crusades and repeated failures have made these residents miserable, which is why. For the mercenaries to come here to kill the ice demon, the attitude of the town residents has been warmly welcomed from the beginning, turned into a stern look, and has now turned into a negative objection. They have had enough of the bitter son tortured by the ice demon. Anyway, the monster has been in the Frozen Lake for so many years and has not taken the initiative to do anything to them except to sleep. It's better than letting the brutal mercenaries provoke it now, and then letting yourself bear the anger.

After listening to the elderly, the mercenaries next to them were embarrassed. Most of the mercenaries were people at the bottom, so they could better understand the mood of these townspeople. Previously, because of their different positions, most of these mercenaries first thought about the rewards they would get after completing their own tasks. If they were unable to complete the tasks, they would naturally only focus on their losses. As for the residents here, to be honest, the mercenaries did not think about it at all. After all, in their view, these residents are just employers who pay money, and they have to do the dangerous work themselves. They are hiding far behind. , And there is no life threat, what else can happen? !!

At the moment Li Jie was also frowning, a little embarrassed. Although she was also born in the royal family, after all, she left Gold City to wander around when she was very young. Naturally, she knows the mentality of the people at the bottom. If you change Marlene, I'm afraid I can't understand why these people would rather suffer here than leave this ghost place. In her opinion, this is a bitter cold place, and it is so dangerous, it would be better to just move with her family. ? If he had to hang in this place halfway, Marin couldn't understand it anyway.

And when he heard the old man's words, Rhodes also groaned a little. He didn't understand these people's thoughts, but this task must be completed by himself. This is the simplest one of the five-star missions for Starlight. If you give up this task, you will be very troubled next.

In fact, the reason why the mercenaries have not been able to defeat the Ice Devil can not be blamed for their weak strength. The mercenary guild is not a mercenary group. Any mercenary guild has two or three strong men. For a five-star mission, then in the back, the major guilds are doing their best, there is no reason why such a scourge cannot be done. The reason is that these guilds did not elicit the true body of the ice devil. The ice demon is also a medium-level monster at the level of the water element. Its strength cannot be underestimated, not to mention that most elemental creatures have indulgence and creative ratio. The ability of their own low-level creatures of the same element, and the ice demon occupy the water source in Kramer area, where it can create as many water element monsters as possible, if the mercenaries compare with it, In the end, it was a big defeat. Because they couldn't think of a way to let the ice demon leave the water source to fight with them, and the mercenaries were human beings, of course, it was impossible to dive into the cold and cold water to find their own way. However, the ordinary method of drawing the boss after hitting the younger brother is useless to the ice demon who can continuously create water element monsters.

But for Rhodes, the above two points are not a problem. What he has is a way to deal with these troubles.

But before that, he still solved the problem at hand.

"please follow me."

In front of the eyes, Rhode didn't answer immediately, but made an invitation gesture to the old man, and then the two walked aside and started whispering in a low voice. Seeing their appearance, neither the mercenaries nor the representatives of the townspeople were very curious and doubtful, but no one dared to go up and eavesdrop. They could only stand and watch from the distance, guessing their presence through their expressions. What to talk about.

Rhode's face didn't show any clue, because he had always been expressionless, and it was the same at this time. However, the mercenaries had long known about their eccentric and powerful president, knowing that he was in a good mood when he was expressionless, and that he suddenly laughed very enthusiastically, then it was a sign of bad luck. Now it looks like his own adult is in a good mood.

Instead, the old man seemed a little embarrassed. In the face of Rod's words, he shook his head first, then frowned, not knowing what he was talking about. And after hearing his words, Rhodes waved his hands coldly, apparently disagreeing with the old man's statement. Then he looked up and stared sharply at the old man in front of him. Under his momentum, the old man in front of him Could not help but flinch, but soon he courageously shook his head again, but this time it seemed that the old man was not as determined as before, but hesitated. But before long, he looked up and said something to Rhodes. In the face of the old man's speech, Rhodes still showed no expression, but he suddenly raised his right hand and extended three fingers. When he saw this movement, the old man was silent, and then said something, In the end, he nodded slowly. Rhode reached out and patted his shoulder, and then the old man turned around and walked back to the other townspeople, whispering something to them. Hearing the old man's words, those townspeople suddenly showed a surprised expression. The yelling young man even jumped up and waved his fist and planned to shout, but the middle-aged man beside him It was a quick reaction. When he saw him jumping, he slapped him again, which closed the young man's mouth. Then they said a little coldly to the mercenaries and turned away.

Only then did Rhodes return to the mercenary. Seeing him coming back, Annie first rushed forward, holding Rod's hand excitedly, and swinging hard from side to side.

"Annie knows that there is still a way for the head of the group. Those nasty guys have been driven away by you! How? They dare not stop us again!"

Hearing Annie's excited inquiry, Rhode nodded, then he looked at the mercenaries around him and said.

"Yes, they agreed to try again, and I also want them to guarantee that this time we will be able to complete the task and defeat the ice monster."

"Oh----!!"

Hearing here, the mercenaries next to them couldn't help shouting. They actually had a grudge in their hearts, although they said that the people's ideas were not wrong. However, most of the mercenaries are fierce and aggressive. In addition, under the training of little bubble gum and canary, each one's strength has increased rapidly. They are underestimated by the people who are not bound by chickens. Quite dissatisfied. However, the others are defenseless, and these mercenaries are embarrassed to roll up their sleeves and teach them to let them see how powerful they are. Now that Rhodes can help them solve this problem, naturally the mercenaries are extremely excited.

However, these mercenaries were also secretly determined at this moment. In the next task, they must let these gangsters see their power. At that time, would they dare to look down on themselves!

Seeing that his subordinates were so excited at the moment, Rhode said nothing, but glanced at them, and then said lightly.

"Today you take a good rest and head to the Frozen Lake tomorrow. I hope you have not forgotten the results of your training."

Upon hearing Rhode's order, the mercenaries naturally responded, and then turned away one by one to prepare for tomorrow's battle. It wasn't until he saw them dispersed that Rhodes shook his head slightly, then turned and looked at Annie and Lijie in front of them. Then he said.

"This time you came to the Frozen Lake, did you hear anything?"

This time heading to the Frozen Lake, Rhodes did not bring all the men and horses, but in accordance with the rules in the game, formed a team of 35 people, of which 30 were used to deal with the ice magic, the rest The five were used as substitutes and also to prevent accidents. This can be considered a little cheating by Rhodes with a little difference between the game and reality.

Prior to this, Rhodes had always been curious, why many indigenous mercenary guilds sent hundreds of people to besiege a boss, but the result was still futile. In the game, players only need ten to twenty-five people to almost kill these bosses. At the beginning, he thought that this was only because of the difference in strength between the aboriginals and the players, so he had to choose to use human sea tactics to achieve the goal. But now Rhodes has found himself outrageous. The reason why those mercenary teams will fail continuously is that in addition to the gap between the players and the indigenous people, the more important thing is the number of people. Most bosses of the team copy will have some group attack skills. In the game, because the number of players is scarce, as long as they are properly prepared, it is not difficult to avoid those group attack skills. But the Aboriginal people are different. Most of them were not strong at first, and they swarmed together. They tried to destroy each other with tactics of crowds of people, but they hit the boss trap. You have to know that most of the boss ’s overall attacks, but even the players dare not resist, can only choose to dodge. These aboriginal people with lower strength naturally die and how many, and coupled with their large number of people, there is not enough room to dodge. This is more than half of the casualties. In this way, it is naturally difficult to defeat those monsters. Because of this, after the mission of the Pafield Line, Rhodes ordered Qi Lian to take most of the people back to the fortress, leaving only a small number of elites to go to the Frozen Lake to complete this task. The reason why Qilian was not followed this time was because Rhodes intended to train his reading ability. Qilian, Canary and Little Bubble Gum are even more capable, and they are also his subordinates. In other words, if Rhodes has something unexpected, then their summoners will disappear at the same time. And if you only rely on them, it is naturally not a good thing for the guild. Therefore, in order to train his subordinates' reading and fighting ability, this time Rhodes sent Qi Lian back to the fortress, and did not follow them together. If not, the level of damage of his subordinates is too low, and Rhodes even has Don't want to shoot in person.

In the face of Rhode's inquiries, Li Jie also took a half step forward, then a bit of bitterness appeared on her face, and then she said.

"Mr. Rhodes, to tell you the truth, I did hear some news this time ...... The Ice Demon monster seemed difficult to show up. According to the townspeople, the mercenary guild besieged several times. , I didn't even see what Bingmon looked like, I was worried ... "

"Don't worry, Lijie."

In the face of Li Jie's worry, Rhode waved his hand. Of course, what Li Jie said, in the game, the entire frozen lake is the copy map, but this map is not like the ordinary copy map. It is layered. On the surface, the frozen lake is just a frozen lake, and mobs will continue to appear from the ice. If you ca n’t catch the tricks and requirements, the mercenaries Even the boss's shadow can't be seen at all, and it will only be exhausted in a steady stream of mobs-not to mention npc, there are actually so many stupid players in the game.

"This kind of thing should be solved by an expert, and I have found an expert who can wake up the ice demon and make it have to stand up and fight with us."
