Summoning the Holy Sword

When Rhodes and others returned from the Land of Light with a "full load", it was already two days later. For Rhodes, this time it can be said that it has been a lot of gains. Not only has it greatly reduced the face of the Council of Light, it has also weakened its strength, and at the same time extorted the other side of an artifact that can almost be regarded as a treasure of the town. I also completed the task and ate Annie, which was almost a successful trip. Until now, Rhodes remembered how the members of the Kingdom of Light reluctantly handed over the "King of the King" to Annie under the watch of everyone before they left. The scene at that time was almost as serious as Defeated nations are generally indemnified in land-cutting, full of shame and unwillingness. But for Rhodes, who always likes to base his happiness on the pain of others, this is simply the most wonderful comedy.

And Anne ’s actions after taking over the “King of the King” are also full of dramatic surnames. Facing this sacred guard of the King ’s artifact, Anne not only did not show the solemnity and seriousness, but instead she reached for the shield After that, I tapped it with my hand a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction. Then I pulled away the thick gold shield behind me and stuffed the "King of the King" like a sandwich. . The members of the Council of Light who saw this scene rolled their eyes and almost fainted.

Although Anne's action on this shield is very casual, this does not mean that "Guardian of the King" is just a "pseudo artifact" that can be filled with prestige at a low level until the game update will become waste, as a fantasy existence [Guardian of the King], like [The Wings of Time] owned by Rhodes, is not just a physics, it is even a combination of rules and concepts. But looking at the surname of this shield, you know how abnormal it is.

[Guardian of the King (Ancient, Fantasy, Bronze) — The King has the obligation to protect his people. When darkness comes, it will turn into a sacred fortress and stand on the earth as the last barrier under the light. presence】

[Perseverance — Attacks below the master level cannot cause any damage to the holder. Attack damage above the master level decreases by 5% with the holder level, up to 35%. When the holder is fatally injured Will not die immediately

[Holy Inscription—Immune to curses and poisonous attacks, so that the holder bears the sacred power of the surname when attacking, and the power is increased by 5%]

[The watchman of the rules — immune to chaotic surname attack, resistance to the rule surname +100]

[Eternal existence — equipment cannot be destroyed]

[Requires a force of 30 or more to be equipped]

Such a powerful surname plus achievement even Rhodes couldn't help but breathe in the air at first glance, let alone the last one [requires a force surname of 30 or more to be equipped]. Let Rhodes stop. In the game, even if a Berserker who specializes in power piles up all kinds of best-in-class equipment, the power cannot exceed 30. It can be against the sky if it exceeds 20, and even if it is a barbarian or even a giant, their power is not very May exceed the value of 15. Due to his pedigree, Rhodes' own strength is also very strong. Although he cannot see the exact value because he has not released the seal, Rhodes can be sure that his strength is currently only between 15 and 20 after being upgraded. If the numbers do not indicate the last name, for example, Rhodes could even lift a light armored tank directly if possible. This power is already very strong on the mainland, but did not expect that Annie was even more perverted than him. But think about it carefully. Anne has been carrying hundreds of kilograms of fine gold heavy shields with one hand and taking them around like a play. This was not what ordinary people could have done. Changing Rhodes, although he is not unable to pick it up, but if he wants to easily swing a gold shield like a feather, he cannot do it.

Regarding Ma Lin, Li Jie and Annie, the solution was beyond imagination. Perhaps because it has been vented in the spiritual space of the chaotic heart demon, Li Jie first accepted Annie. And Marlene was full of sulking all the way, and she was asked by Anne, "Annie likes the head, and wants to play with the head, sister Marlen, don't you like the head?" It was defeated completely, but in the end it was helpless. Hand surrender. It also made the danger of a backyard fire that Rhodes worried about invisible. Even though Fire Lord is confident enough to settle this trouble, but he is also very clear that in many cases, it is best for men to not easily intervene in matters between women. They can solve that by themselves, but otherwise they can do it themselves. Intervene, maybe it will leave a gap in the hearts of the three, especially when it comes to this kind of problem. No matter which side you stand on, you will offend the other side, and if you do n’t stand on either side, you will choose fairness and justice. Everyone was offended-just hide aside and wait until they have resolved their internal conflicts.

Now it looks good.

Thinking of this, Rhodes raised an eyebrow and smiled. Then he concentrated his mind. Soon, a system frame and a list appeared in front of Rhodes. Above them were the names of Rhodes' subordinates. Behind these names, a status bar is added this time.

This is exactly the hidden reward that Rhodes gets after completing the mission-system upgrade. And after Rhodes ’s construction system was upgraded, Rhodes had acquired a feature he had n’t thought of—unlocking reputation.

Frankly, Rhodes was a bit surprised when he got this feature, because the players did not have a reputation system in the game. It has always been the reputation of other forces they have gone to, and they have never heard of any npc that used to gain player reputation. But now it seems that in this world, his own construction system has also changed. Obviously, the current system sees himself as a separate force, and with this prestige system, Rhodes can naturally see himself. The loyalty and prestige of his subordinates.

Thinking of this, Rhode reached out his finger and tapped slightly, and soon, the entire list was regrouped in a hierarchical arrangement and displayed in front of himself. The names of Qilian and Canary are not shown on the list. Obviously, they are not included in the list.

In the list, Rhodes's name is naturally top of the list, followed by Annie, she is currently the highest level of Rhodes' people, the level of 50 elites. Followed by Marin and Li Jie, ranking forty-four and forty-five and forty respectively. Further down are Joey, Marfa, and Rando. Their ranks are relatively lower than Lijie's, and they are ranked at thirty-eight, thirty-nine, and thirty-seven. The next level is relatively average, most of them are around 35 or 6, which is almost the highest level that humans can reach without any adventure or equipment. Even if Rhodes trains them and improves their equipment, their strength is at best a cap of the forty-level elite, and it cannot be higher.

On the contrary, Rabesi's rank is very, very low. Although expensive as an alchemist, but Rabesi's rank is completely inferior to Rhode's men, only in his early 20s. It can be said that there is no combat effectiveness at all.

With the prestige system, Rhodes also has a certain understanding of his power.

The loyalty of those members who have followed themselves from the mercenary regiment to the present is full, including Shana, Old Walker and others, and their reputation is worship. Next, under the leadership of Rhodes, the mercenaries who had followed Rhodes in missions and fought side by side also mostly respected Rhodes or entered worship. On the contrary, the reputation of those mercenaries who had not fought with Rhodes was relatively low, all hovering between respect and reverence. This includes John's Cavalry. Although John himself respected Rod's reputation, most of his cavalry were only respected.

There is also a variant of this prestige system. Rhodes found that in the entire prestige system, only the names of Marin, Lijie and Anne are different. Although they are also full value, what is shown in the back is not [adoration] but [Love]. The reason is ... everyone understands.

But ... this is just a bonus after all.

Rhode looked away and looked in front of himself, where the top ten cores of souls were lying quietly on the table. The Council of Light did not do anything on these cores of souls, after all, compared to [Guardian of the King] With this quasi-artifact, the core of the soul is not a precious thing. But as long as you look at the dim color of these soul cores, I am afraid that most of these soul cores come from the existence of the devil. Obviously, despite complying with Rhode's requirements, the Council of Light still made a hole. As we all know, the approval of these souls with dark power is not very easy to use. Their most useful use is to summon various demons and perform dark rituals, or to make some black magic and necro magic equipment items. It seems that this is also the Council of Light who wants to disgusting Rhodes and deliberately found him something like this.

But unfortunately ... Rhodes didn't want these soul cores to be used to create magic items or summoning rituals.

The reason he made this request was purely for task rewards.

After completing the task [Light to Light], Rhodes quickly saw the content of the mission rewards. As described above, Rhodes had unlocked the specs from the moment the mission was completed. The Phantom Guardian can be summoned, but after carefully looking at the mission rewards, Rhodes discovered that this time the so-called off-specification unlocking is not just a simple addition of a Phantom Guardian quota, but more importantly ... Provides an additional way to unlock.

The first way, like other phantom guards, will unconditionally restore a character familiar to Rod's mind and project it into the real world, just like little bubble gum and canary, without equipment, but with top The strength can only be restricted within the scope of Rhodes' sphere of influence. This is also the summoning method of ordinary phantom guards.

The other ... is literally an unlocking method that is out of specification.

This method of unlocking requires the core of ten souls, and what Rhode has to do is project a character in his memory onto one of the cores of the soul, and then create a set of summon cards centered on it. Rhodes can then designate this card as the core card of the Top Ten Primitives and make it material. But this also has its shortcomings, that is, the card level occupying the core position will be forced to initialize, and it needs to be re-started from the zero level. However, its benefits are self-evident-that is, it does not need to act within a fixed sphere of influence like little bubble gum and canary, but can do whatever it wants on this continent. A corner action.

From this point of view, this core card is more like more players. It can upgrade, has its own professional talent tree and skill proficiency, can complete tasks, and can move around. More importantly, as a card summoner, it will not die, even if killed, you can run directly to resurrection like in the game. Except for its identity as Rhode's Summoning Card, it can almost be said that this is completely a player.

In fact, when Rhode saw this out-of-specification unlocking condition, he immediately chose the latter without hesitation. At present, Rhode's territory is not large, and small bubble gum and canary are enough to protect his territory. Range, and more importantly, there are not many inhabitants in Rhodes territory, and it is relatively easy to manage. It doesn't make much sense to add a new Phantom Guard. On the contrary, in many places, Rhodes needs an assistant who can cooperate with each other perfectly, and Li Jie, Marin and Anne do a good job. But after all, they do n’t come from another world like Rhodes, and there are always times when they have trouble communicating. If someone who is familiar with himself can cooperate with him anytime, anywhere, then it is naturally convenient.

At present under Rhodes, although Canary and Little Bubble Gum meet the requirements, they cannot leave the territory. Although Seven Love seems to know this well, Rhodes is still in the process of knowing her. The two are not so tacit. It would be great if there could be someone who could do whatever he wanted and who would be acquainted with Rhodes.

As for level initialization? This is not a problem at all for Rhodes. Anyway, as a card summoner, that phantom guard will never die, and as the core card in a deck, it can also summon other cards to use. . It's as if Qilian, who is the core of the Honglian Battle deck, can use the three cards with the same cards: [Sulfur River], [Seven Heavy Hell], and [Flame Killer]. To be sure, since it is the core of the projected card, the Phantom Guard will inevitably have his professional talents and combat skills, plus the summoning of the Swordsman's Summoner Elf, which is almost extremely powerful, even if you pull it out to upgrade Rod can also be sure that it won't be long before he can reach a level similar to himself.

At present, among the top ten elements of summoning swordsman's exclusive summoning circle, only seven loves occupy the position of "wisdom", and the rest of the core are vacant. For a long time, Rhodes did not intend to put Celestina or Celia, Grace Hill and Madaras into it. After all, even if they were realized, their help for Rhodes was very limited. It's not as good as it is now.

So who should choose?

"Well."

Just as Rhodes frowned, the knock on the door rang, and little bubble gum and canary came in.

"Rhode, do you have anything to do with us?"

"You are here exactly."

Seeing Little Bubble Gum and Canary coming in, Rhodes appeared a little relaxed expression on his face, then he made a gesture to signal them to sit down, and then Rhodes quickly activated his system task, And told them about the rewards. And when Rhodes said that the Phantom Guard was unlocked outside the specifications, little bubble gum and canary could not help but shine.

"Head, can you designate us?"

Little Bubble Gum stood up for the first time, and clenched her fist and waved hard.

"I really want to hang out. I always stay here, I do n’t have a computer, I ca n’t go to bilibili, and I do n’t have a new fan to watch. It ’s boring! Even squatting at home, I can play online games! To be able to go out, the first to run to the kingdom of light, and let those guys who look down on the dogs look at me ... …… ”

"Bubble, haven't you heard Rhodes? We, being being summoned, cannot be designated again."

Just as Little Bubble Gum was waving her fist and excitedly fantasized about her wonderful life after she left here, the canary next to her poured cold water very calmly, which made Little Bubble Gum excited and dissatisfied. After pouting, he sat back on the chair again.

"I know, big sister, I just think about it, really ........."

In the face of the little bubble gum complaining, Canary just smiled slightly, then she looked at Rhodes and said.

"So, Rhode, what do you think? If you can help, there are many people in the guild who can help you, don't you?"

"That's true."

Hearing Canary's words, Rod reluctantly spread his hands. This is why he was looking for Canary and Little Bubble Gum to discuss. If it can help Rhode, then there are hundreds of Rhodes players who can help Rhode. In the beginning, Rhodes chose Canary and Little Bubblegum because they cooperated best with each other and were most familiar with each other. In fact, they did really well. The group of people under Rhodes could be rocket-like. Ascension, in addition to the bonus of the mystery ball itself, the training of canaries and little bubble gum is also very effective. Whether Li Jie, Ma Lin, Annie. It was Lando, Joey, and even Mafa who were not less "trained" by them, and they also benefited a lot. However, for Rhodes, the instructor only needs these two people. In any case, the indigenous people of this world are no matter how strong they are. Most of them cannot rise to the top in their lives, so they are too complicated and delicate to fight There is no need to teach them skills.

So, what role should the next Phantom Guard play?

"How about calling the old man?"

Little Bubble Gum sat on the chair, flipping his legs, and offered a proposal.

"Isn't Malin short of people? The old man did a good job in the guild. How about letting him help?"

"It is not necessary."

At the suggestion of Little Bubble Gum, Rhodes shook his head.

"Lao Chen is suitable to deal with players, but his specialty is not very useful here. It is better for Marin to rely on her to do it. We can't fix it."

As he said, Rhodes shrugged helplessly. Indeed, as one of Xingguang's vice presidents, Lao Chen's popularity in the guild is very good, and he is responsible for many foreign affairs. However, through his experience in the Dragon Soul continent, Rhodes found that this is completely different from reality. In fact, whether he, canary, or little bubble gum has this problem, it is not a custom to salute, and it is not so particular about it. But Ma Lin and these aborigines are different. This is a very strict world. Each class has different rules and regulations. These requirements are very strict, but for players who just think of the game as a game, they certainly don't care about bending down to be considered respect for people instead of offending such boring topics. But for the indigenous people of this world, this is very important. Therefore, it is better to leave this serious thing to the indigenous peoples headed by Marlene. If only suggestions are needed, then they can be as competent as Canary, and there is no need to waste a valuable summoning place.

"So shit?"

"…………………… Who then?”

"Stupid bunny."

"... why did you think of her?"

"Everyone in the regiment knows that she is interesting to the leader of the regimental. You will bring her to the regimental. Anyway, no one cares about it here, so how about you as a pair?"

"I'm not trying to be honest, don't bother, be serious, bubble."

"Ah? I think it's interesting ........."

Just then, the canary looked up and coughed slightly. Hearing Canary's voice, Little Bubble Gum closed her mouth and turned her head to look at the girl next to her. Until then, Canary whispered.

"I think we should pay more attention to the legion."

When Rhodes spoke, Rhodes sank slightly.

After the battle with the blue goshawk on the ice field, the legion became Rhode's heart disease. Although John's response was not wrong, Rhodes is very clear. If it was n’t for the cavalry at that time, he had n’t had time to go back and be arrested. The Council of Light was detained. It was from that time that Rhodes realized that his thoughts were a bit wrong-indeed, in the game he knew that John Greer would be an excellent and brave legionary commander. But Rhode ignores one thing, that is that everyone grows up. This is not a game. You dig into a character with a high surname and then train him to become a famous general. Don't say that in other worlds, even on the earth, the appearance of many famous generals is also a time-making hero. If it were not for some things they had experienced before, maybe they would not become famous generals, but just It ’s just a historian or a shepherd boy. John has potential, but his experience is not enough to handle such a complex situation. Originally, Rhodes wanted to hand over the entire personal soldiers under his control to John, but after this incident Rhodes changed his mind. Although John has potential, he is still too young to undertake this task. For now, Rhodes still needs a person who can master the three armies and is familiar with the army's command and operation.

Rhodes didn't have such a candidate at first, but after mentioning Canary, someone flashed in his head.

Thinking of this, Rhodes stood up. Canary smiled at Rhodes' expression.

"Did you decide? Rhodes?"

"Yes, I already have the right candidate."

He nodded at Canary's inquiry.
