Summoning the Holy Sword

It's not hard to imagine how the residents of the fortress would react to seeing such a magical and beautiful crystal statue the next day. They didn't think of it. On the empty square the day before, only one night's work actually appeared. Such a beautiful statue, which almost happened only in the craziest dreams, shocked everyone. It was rumored that the earliest people who saw the statue even panicked and shouted and rushed into the guild stronghold to ask for help from the mercenaries. The mercenaries who received the news were also shocked when they saw the statue. Even within half an hour, rumors about the statue have spread to every corner of the fortress, and many people came to see it lively. It wasn't until Marin came forward on behalf of the guild that the statue was built by them. But because of this, it is even more shocking and unbelievable.

It took Rhodes only half a day to establish the Atonement of the Atonement. Basically nobody in the fortress didn't know it, because it was very proud and glorious in the view of Starlight. But in fact, not everyone believes such rumors. Even inside the Starlight Guild, many mercenaries find this too exaggerated. After all, the mercenaries who followed Rhodes to clean up the Atonement were only a small number of people. And most of them didn't see how the fortress was built, so it is inevitable that there will be some places in the rumors that cannot be considered. It is taken for granted that others do not believe it.

But this time, after witnessing such a miracle, even the mercenaries finally began to change their minds. After living in the fortress for such a long time, they can be sure that there was nothing there yesterday. It was blank, but now, the 20-meter-high crystal statue stands upright in the square, carved with beautiful patterns. The base is integrated with the heavy bluestone brick floor on the square, and there is no difference at all, as if it has been there all the time, but it has never been discovered by others.

But this is impossible.

Marilyn didn't say much, but almost everyone knew that it must have been done by Rhodes.

How did he do it?

Throughout the night, they didn't even hear a little movement, but when they opened their eyes the next day, they found that a statue appeared in front of them, which was hard to believe, only in those exaggerated myths and legends The things that will really appear in front of themselves like this, they are finally surprised-even awe.

Rhodes is a very mysterious and serious existence in the minds of most mercenaries, but because he is too young, there will always be mercenaries who maintain a slight contempt for Rhodes. In fact, in the Starlight Guild, there has always been such an emotion. Not every mercenary is convinced by Rhodes. Many of them joined the Starlight Guild only to see the development potential and strength of Starlight. Because Rhodes. Most of these people are newcomers. They have strength, potential and ambition. However, for Rhodes, most of them are only respected on the surface. In fact, Rhodes is not really considered.

As for other people, including Shana, Joey and Lando, who have been following Rod from the very beginning, they have seen that Rod has done many times over and over again. No one can imagine it or even do it. To things. Therefore, these mercenaries are naturally loyal to Rhodes. They know Rhodes' strength and also understand his strength and fear. So their awe of Rod was sincere. And seeing the newcomers disdain Rhodes for life or death, these old men are naturally unhappy. They felt that these newcomers were too arrogant and lacked respect for Rhodes. The newcomers felt that the old man's deeds about Rhodes were too exaggerated. Although they also acknowledged that this young man was indeed strong, but looking at what the old men said, it was too legendary to believe. Therefore, many people think that this is just an exaggeration or simply a story made by old people to scare them.

Why can you build such a fortress in less than a day? Look at the scale of this fortress, which almost catches up to half a small city. How can such a scale be built in one day? What about us?

But now these people are shaken.

Because they could n’t find any reason to explain the matter in front of them. This happened to them in real life. There was no way to cover their eyes. Before that, not only did they not hear any wind, even The movement was not noticed, but now the statue appeared in front of them!

Is it true that what the old mercenaries said before?

This idea appeared in the minds of the newcomers, causing them to tremble involuntarily with the Holy Spirit on top. If this is true, what else can the adult not do? Thinking of this, the mercenary mercenaries who were originally arrogant are suddenly much more honest. They are not fools. If the old mercenaries are not telling the story, but the truth, then you should not continue to be stupid Go on. I heard that young adult --- his temper is not very good.

Rhodes didn't expect that the statue of the holy girl he had built helped him to consolidate his reputation and status in the guild, but he didn't have time to manage these things now, although he said that most things were caused by Marilyn handled it, but many important things still had to make Rhodes nod.

The first is about the issue of the Alchemist Association. After half a month of peeling, the Alchemist Association finally put down his face and delivered the alchemy materials he needed before according to Rod's request. And Rhodes kept his promise not only to let Rabis know about the poison, but also to return the idiot Thomas who had previously led the alchemist squad trying to sneak in. However, after the poor worm was released from the black prison, his spirit had completely collapsed, and he completely became a lunatic. The genius of the Alchemist Association had completely disappeared, and it was no longer visible.

The progress of Labis is also very smooth. At the beginning, several alchemy apprentices brought by Marin had a slight contempt for Labis, a younger girl than them. However, after Rabis showed her mastery of alchemy skills and knowledge, those alchemy apprentices suddenly put down their contempt and began to work for Rabis wholeheartedly, as people trusted by Marlene, These people have good morals, so they get along very well with Labis. With the addition of these people, Rabis's work has become a lot easier, at least there is no need for her to handle everything like before.

In addition, Rhodes also got a message-that is, the girl who was rescued by them from the monastery before, finally regained consciousness.

"............... oh ..."

The girl opened her eyes, and the dazzling sunlight came in through the window, which made her frown involuntarily. Then, the girl felt the pain in her body and swept through her limbs, as if in every vein. Filled with hot lava, the girl moaned instinctively, and then she opened her eyes.

The high ceiling, clean glass windows and white sheets and curtains greet the eyes, and the breeze came in from the half-open window, making people feel comfortable and comfortable.

"here is……………"

The girl stared blankly out the window, the blue sky, the soft sunlight, and the green leaves, everything looked full of vitality and vitality. And until this time, the girl remembered everything that happened before --- yes, she was kidnapped and taken to a terrible place in the mountains, where there are terrible horrible adults everywhere, they shut themselves Get up and want to make yourself ... "" ......... !!! "

Thinking of this, the young girl was suddenly shocked. She hurried to get up, but soon, the severe pain all over her made her lie back on the bed, and just then, a slight voice came from the young girl's side.

"......... I think ... it's better not to mess around ..."

"Hey?"

When she heard this voice, the girl was stunned, then she turned her head, and soon she saw a girl sitting by the bed, looking at herself worriedly. Seeing her gaze, the girl smiled softly and reassuringly.

"......... You finally woke up ........."

"Who are you? Where is this ........."

Looking at the petite, slender, and thin girl in front of her, the girl could not help asking. The girl smiled slightly, then stood up.

"My name is Christie ......... Here is ... Rhoder's fortress ... Rest assured, here ... no one will hurt you ..."

Maybe it was because Christie's soft voice touched the girl, or it was because she realized that the situation under her eyes was not as bad as she imagined. The girl gradually quieted down. She leaned on the bedside and curiously looked at everything in front of her. Indeed, even if Christie doesn't say it herself, as long as the girl carefully observes, she will find that this room is completely different from the cold, old dungeon that she brought before. Although the decoration here is not luxurious, it is very elegant and comfortable, giving a sense of peace of mind. Could it be that he came out of that terrible place? How did it come out?

When the girl was in a mess, the knock on the door rang, and then a young man in a noble costume entered the room.

"... Rhodes ........."

Seeing the man entering the room, a soft smile appeared on the face of Christie, who was sitting next to the girl. She stood up and trot all the way into the man's arms. The girl opened her eyes in surprise, looked at the girl who flew into the arms of the man, and raised her head to look at the dark-haired man in front of her. This is no wonder, after all, apart from the age factor, they are completely Exactly the same. Could this gentleman be the elder brother of that girl?

"Hello, this lady."

Just as the girl was thinking wildly, Rhodes was stroking Christie's hair, then turned to look at her. He nodded to the other party before he said.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Rhode Elante. I am the lord of Glenbell and the president of the Starlight Guild. May I have your name?"

"I ... I'm Ann."

Although the young man's expressionless expression seemed to make the girl nervous, she answered quickly.

"Hello, dear Lord Lord, my name is Ann Clark."

"Hello, Miss Clark."

After hearing Ann's answer, Rhode was silent, and then continued.

"I know you must have a lot of questions in your head now, but before that, I hope to know what happened to you before, can you tell me what you remember before?"

"When, of course ........."

Facing Rhode's inquiries, although Ann was hesitant, she nodded quickly, and then the girl began to tell Rhode about her experience. And the whole thing will start from a few days ago. At that time, the girl was out shopping with her companions, but did not expect to be spotted by a few thieves, and then they took a chance to take An Da out and bring them back to their old nest. At first Ann thought that they had kidnapped herself for the sake of her father's property, but soon she discovered that something was wrong. Because after the kidnappers kidnapped the girls, the thieves took her directly out of Cole City, and came to a relatively remote mountain forest, handing the girls to a group of men in armor who looked unusually scary. What happened after that made An An startled—the men not only killed the thief who kidnapped her, but also took her to a very horrible place in the deep mountains, and then locked the girl in the dungeon. It was only then that Ann learned that she had been arrested as a sacrifice for the advent of a terrible monster. This naturally scared the young girl. Although she tried everything, she could not escape at all. She could only stay in the cold and humid dungeon, and spent every day in despair and fear. I didn't know how long it was. Finally, the door of the dungeon opened, and then the girl saw a nun in a bright red robe carrying several terrible men. Come in and tell her that the ceremony is about to begin. The girl naturally struggled and tried to resist, but soon, she was stunned, and what happened after that ... An An had no memory at all.

While the girl was talking, Rhode said nothing and kept watching her. This made Ann feel a lot of pressure, but she still tried to tell the story that happened to her. After listening to the girl's statement, Rhode nodded. At this moment, he suddenly remembered the episode before he went to the Holy Spirit Monastery. After a long time, the second ghost who was like the little bubble gum and the middle two was looking for her with a mercenary hand.

However, they are really good. A group of mercenaries less than 20 dare to play a copy of level 50 or 60. It is no wonder that players don't see the mercenaries' bodies in the copies ... It ’s unreasonable if they are still dead. Already.

After Ann stopped, Rhode also briefly introduced the situation after that. Of course, he didn't tell the truth, but only said that as the lord of Glenbell, he learned that there are such a group of cults in the Glenbell Mountains. He wandered, so he took someone to deal with, and in the process found Ann placed on the altar, and then brought her back like that.

"I can understand your mood, this lady, you have just woke up and your body has not fully recovered. I think you can rest here for a while, and at the same time, I will order someone to inform Lingzun and wait for you to recover and send someone Would you like to take it home? "

"Of course, Lord Lord."

Upon hearing Rhode's inquiries, the stone in her heart suddenly fell to the ground, she hurriedly smiled, and then replied. After hearing her answer, Rhode nodded with satisfaction, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Then please rest at ease, I will let Christy stay with you. If you have any needs, you can talk to her. Then, I still have something to say and leave."

"what……………"

Watching Rhodes turn and leave, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She stared blankly at Rhodes's back, but couldn't say anything. Although it was only a few minutes for the two sides to meet, An at this moment was already deeply impressed with Rhodes. Even to the young girl who escaped from the dead, Rhodes was simply the ideal gentleman in her mind. He Moderate, polite, and considerate to the female surname—the only disadvantage is that the young aristocrat does not seem to like to smile ... But Rhode obviously doesn't care what others think of himself, because of the cold winter As he approached, another important thing appeared to Rhodes.

That's the Winter Festival of the Mercenary Association.

In Dragon Soul Mainland, winter is the season when all things are asleep, and for mercenaries, it is also a day of rest after a busy year. Due to the harsh winter weather, accidents are easy to occur. Therefore, most mercenaries will not follow the missions that go to the mountains and old forests to explore in the winter. Instead, they will rest for a month to two months and continue the mission until the coldest period has passed. The Mercenary Association also took this opportunity to make assessments of mercenary guilds in various regions and determine the ranks of mercenary groups and mercenary guilds. Those mercenary guilds that are not qualified and have not completed their tasks will be relegated to mercenary groups. , And the outstanding mercenary regiments will be promoted to mercenary guilds.

The previous Burning Blade was upgraded and downgraded at the Winter Festival each time, tossing back and forth between the mercenary guild and the mercenary regiment, so that the mercenaries in the Pafield area could not be lifted elsewhere until Rhodes' starlight The sudden rise of forces has finally stabilized the Pafield area. This time, Rhodes led the mercenaries to accomplish two five-star missions. Naturally, there is no need to worry that they will be disbanded like the Burning Blade. However, Rhodes is also very clear that this time to participate in the Winter Festival is also very unusual for him.

Because Rhodes has heard a lot of wind that is not good for his guild.
