Summoning the Holy Sword

The winter is about to pass.

Standing on the balcony, looking at the increasingly lively street below, Rhode nodded with satisfaction. Although the Starlight Guild also built its own fortress in the game, it also developed the most powerful city in the game. But this change from nothing to childhood still made him full of sense of accomplishment. I don't know if it is because of the coming spring, Rhodes feels that he is much better than before.

After returning from Dongfangshanyuan and building the Xingling Temple, everything went smoothly. Due to the habit of keeping secret, Rhodes did not let the bow knights take charge of the patrol guards of the fortress. He originally called the bow knights out for this trivial matter. So for now, Rhodes still has the bow knights temporarily stationed in the Protoss Hall. The residents in the fortress, although full of curiosity about the mysterious and beautiful building that appeared on the top of the mountain, soon became accustomed to it. After all, as long as people who have lived here for a long time, most of them know that their Lord Lord has a magical method to build a brand new building overnight. In addition, there are already things like sea elves running around in the land of atonement, so everyone has long been used to it.

The gains from this trip to Dongfangshanyuan are not small. For Rhodes, Christie's artifact and the Star Spirit Hall are naturally the biggest gains. After returning, Rhodes gave Christie to Canary and Little Bubble Gum, and later Marlene joined them. Although she is inferior to Canary in the use of magic, ten canaries are not comparable to Marlene in terms of magic theory. Since Christie does not use magic in the true sense, to some extent, theoretical teaching is more important.

As for South, Rhodes didn't know what he felt when he accepted the ancient heritage, but after returning to the Fortress of Atonement, South performed much better than before, and accepted Rhode's order. , Willing to contribute to the unique training method of the War Corps. However, South also told Rhodes that the average strength of the people in the Oriental Hills, including the War Corps, is not because of the training secrets, but to a large extent, because they have been systematic since they were young. Surnames are trained so that they have what they are today. And what about the group of mercenaries under Rhodes ......... Although South did not speak directly, but Rhodes also understood his subtext, but Rhodes was not nervous. Indeed, if we look at it from a scientific point of view, we are now training. Even newbies like Joey and Lando are too late. But who made himself have such unscientific things in the hands of the mystery ball ... eh? No, this works in the system, so it should be considered scientific?

According to the information collected by Qilian's "Skynet" and Sonia's report, Rhodes also has a clear understanding of the current situation. With the image of the holy girl sold by Rhodes to various places, the threat of the undead corps has become smaller and smaller, and even the undead corps in Dongfangshanyuan has lost its previous momentum. At present, although small-scale conflicts occasionally occur in border areas in other places, with the gradual arrival of the statue of the Holy Maiden, it is rare that large-scale attacks by the Undead Corps will occur.

As for Liliane, Rhodes learned from Sonia that after the final negotiation, the House of Light had agreed to Lilian's proposal to a limited extent, but they only allowed the reinforcements of the Duchy of Muen to guard the frontline military zone. They are not allowed to travel to the rear demilitarized zone. This made Lilian quite angry and dissatisfied, but under the persuasion of Sonia, Her Majesty the Light Dragon Spirit calmed down the anger. After signing an agreement with Lydia, he left Munn and returned to the Land of Light. But what made Rhodes interesting was that I didn't know what Sonia had done, but Lilian obviously liked Sonia very much. After returning, she asked the Council of Light to send Sonia to her side, which was a door-to-door for Lilian's Council of Light, who was unable to find an eye-liner to monitor Brightly and Lily, who threatened them. Benefits, so they can't wait to agree. Not only that, they seemed to appreciate Sonia's delight in winning Lilian in such a short period of time. She even wanted Sonia to take this opportunity to go further and make Lilian's "brainwashing" more thorough.

When Sonia heard the Council of Light's entrustment to her, Rod couldn't help laughing, the guys were really stupid. I'm afraid they can't think of it. Sonia, who can be regarded as a competent person, will be her most loyal pet. However, Her Royal Highness is not a good person either. Rhodes confirmed that she must have obtained the projection record of Toyama Yamahara from Gaya, but first signed an agreement with Lilian. This shows that His Royal Highness obviously does not want to hand over the fate of the Principality of Munn to others. This is a relief for Rhodes. Although Lydia will not be unacceptable if she chooses to give up, but then, Rhode will have to adjust her strategy and place Lydia in the "Non-My Race Must Be" Different "ranks. But now it seems that although His Royal Highness is Archangel, he still has some experience in this regard.

But sometimes Rhodes is very strange, how exactly did Lydia do this, and logically speaking, the angel's position and politics are not very compatible. Angels are members of the lawful and good camp, but politics itself is definitely not a good and just cause. This is why the Principality of Munn has strong strength and wealth, but has always been indistinguishable from the kingdom of light, and even nearly tossed down by the other party in the end. The council of light also seems to know the difference between angels and humans, so they dare to ridicule all sorts of sarcastic angels, and they are not afraid that they will turn around and pack themselves. It is just that Lidia is really a different kind of life style, whether it is political style or not. Resolute, persistent, and thundering in his actions, even Rhodes couldn't help but admire it.

Apart from this, in terms of refugees, Marin's plan is unexpectedly effective. Although the smoke of the war has begun to weaken, the refugees leaving their homes are still not a minority. When Marin contacted the lords of the territories through the Xenia family relationship, many of them immediately sent the refugees trapped in their territories. As Marin expected, the lords in many places felt a lot of headaches for the foreign refugees. They didn't have extra money and food to settle these refugees, and now it was winter. Moreover, there will definitely be contradictions between foreign residents and local people, which also cost them a lot of energy. Since Rhodes is willing to help them solve this difficulty, they are naturally welcomed. As a result, many refugees flocked to the fortress of the Atonement. Of course, at the beginning, it was not that there were no frictions and disputes, and some people tried to incite chaos and fish in troubled waters. But it was clear that the idiots didn't know Rhodes or the place of atonement. After Rhodes hung up four or five idiots who dared to incite the people to the city wall, the refugees finally put away their miscellaneous thoughts and began to live here in peace.

Of course, Rhodes is very clear that the current peace is only an illusion. The reason why the refugees are willing to live a peaceful life here is largely because of their powerful power and the suppression of those who are "dishonest". The means manifested by the times, and after suffering the wandering, these refugees have had enough of wandering life. So even if the lord is not kind right now, and even a little scary, they can only stay with it. After all, their own homes no longer belong to them.

And Marin's "loan plan" is also very effective. Indeed, among the refugees, there are many talents from all walks of life, including hunters, craftsmen, blacksmiths, and even a few low-level alchemists. Of course, industries such as merchants are also indispensable. Soon after they settled in the Atonement Land, they relied on their own skills and regained their property, and they did so with a strong voice. The fortress of the Atonement is now busier than before. Of course, in another aspect, Rhode asked Marin to pay attention to the merchants in the refugees, and signaled that it would be possible to draw them to Ann, and set up a chamber of commerce set up entirely by her own investment. This matter is currently being planned. Listening to Marin's statement, there should be results soon. The only problem is that, as Marin's deputy, I am afraid that there is no time to preside over the regular work of the Chamber of Commerce, and currently there are no trustworthy people responsible for the normal operation of the Chamber of Commerce-although the refugees seem to be sincere, But who knows?

On the other hand, along with the influx of refugees, the mage group that Canary has been lingering in has finally arrived. Together with several mages who had attended the college, she found many children with magical talent among the refugees and sent them to the Tour de France. Although their age is still very young, Canary is sure to tell Rhodes that as long as there is a bonus to the Mystery Ball experience, then in the next year, these children will be released from their apprenticeship status. There is no problem with the mage.

"the host."

The shadow behind Rhodes began to shake, and then Leo stepped out of it. The dark elf girl looked pale at the sky and the sun, and then lowered her head.

"The patrol has returned, and we searched the border area carefully as you said, but found nothing."

"So ..."

He frowned at Leo's report.

"Is the pillar of order still burning?"

"It's still burning, master, I have confirmed it with my own eyes, no problem. But you are asking us to look for the weird and strange marks that may appear next to the pillar of order fire. I did not find it."

"I know."

Rhode nodded, he held his hands, and glanced at the sky in front of him. Although the winter was gradually passing, the snow still covered the mountains in front of him, and the frozen ice was not far away. For the current season, even if they see it, I am afraid there is no way to send someone here to contact them ...

Just as Rhodes frowned, and thought carefully, Leo interrupted his thoughts again.

"Master, there is one more thing to report to you."

"what's up?"

"Miss Labis hopes you can go to her alchemy and say what research has made a huge breakthrough and progress, and you need to report to you the latest situation."

Leo was a bit unnatural when she talked about Rabis, but it's no wonder that although Rabis and Leo were considered to be separated from the elves' descendants for some special reason, and the races of both sides were with the elves Some are unsettled. But this did not make them companions to fight alongside. In any case, the reputation of the Dark Elves is really too bad. Although Bellhems is not a good citizen, anyway, their houses are almost extinct, and they have not done anything too terrible like the Dark Elves. And Rabis lived peacefully, so she didn't like Leo very much. Leo also knew that he was not to be seen by the other side, so he did not intend to please Rabis to repair the relationship between the two. Anyway, she is only responsible for staying with Rhodes, helping Rhodes to talk or solve some small troubles, and occasionally helping Rhodes to satisfy his and his desires. This life is much more pleasant than underground.

"I know."

He nodded at Leo's rumor. Leo stooped down, and soon disappeared into the shadows. Until then, Rhodes turned around and left the balcony. He stepped out of the study and looked at the empty corridor in front of him. Just then, a figure came down the stairs and came to Rhodes.

"Mr. Rhodes?"

Li Jie looked at Rhode in front of her, stopped and stared at him curiously.

"Where are you going?"

"I just received a rumor from Labis that it seems that there is a major breakthrough in what she is studying. I plan to take a look. What about you? Lijie?"

"I ......... I just walk everywhere ..."

Speaking of this, Li Jie's face flashed a little dark, but soon, the girl raised her head and re-emerged a soft smile of Ping Yueli.

"Can I go with Mr. Rhode?"

"of course can."

When he left the stronghold with Li Jie and came to the door of the Alchemy Workshop, Rhode looked carefully at the workshop in front of him. Compared with the bombed and tattered hut owned by Rabis before, this alchemy workshop is more like a real alchemy workshop. Professional, concise and clean ......... Well, that rotten product on the street was gone.

"It's been a long time since I saw Rabis ........."

Looking at the alchemy workshop in front of her, Li Jie's face appeared a bit complicated, and then the girl sighed slightly.

"Why, have you quarreled with Rabis?"

Realizing that Li Jie's tone was a bit unusual, Rhode turned curiously to look at Li Jie. Facing Rhode's gaze, Li Jie hesitated for a moment, then shook her head with a bitter smile.

"No, Mr. Rhodes, just ........."

Having said that, Li Jie glanced at Rhodes, bit her lower lip, and then said.

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen Labis for a long time, and I'm a little worried about her. You also know, Mr. Rhodes, Labise is always too enthusiastic to study and forget to eat."

"This is also true."

Hearing this, Rhodes shrugged. Rabis has always had this problem, especially after she accepted the knowledge of the Belhems, in order to digest this knowledge, Rabis was exhausted. If Christie had not been by her side before, I'm afraid the heir to the Bellhems tribe would have starved to death. But ... Thinking of this, Rhode glanced at Lijie next to him, and of course Rhode knew about Lijie, of course he knew that Lijie was a little bit wrong, but since Lijie didn't plan to say it, Rhode would not go. ask.

So soon, Rhodes put this thing behind his head for a while, and then he came to the door of the alchemy workshop-and then Rhodes saw at one glance the delicate workmanship placed next to the gate. Iron rod.

Hmm ... it really has improved.

Deep in his heart, Rhode reached out to pick up the iron rod at the door, and then knocked on the door.

"Well."

With the sound of heavy knocking on the door, the rapid footsteps came from behind the iron door, and then the iron door slowly opened a gap. A woman in the alchemist's robe came out of the door and saw Rhodes and Lijie. She took a sip and then hurriedly gave Rhodes a gift.

"Hello, Lord Lord, Miss Li Jie."

"You're welcome, I heard that Rabis is looking for me?"

"Yes, Lord Lord, Lord Rabis, looking for you, it's about the one I said before ..."

The woman's words weren't finished yet, but not far from behind her, Rabis's voice sounded.

"Lorland, who's here? Isn't Lord Rhodes? Great, bring him in soon, I'm going to finish here soon ......... hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Wait, don't come in, hurry up, hurry up, everybody run away ---------- !!! "

"boom!!!"

With the call of Rabis's distorted tone, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and then Rhode and others saw a snow-white mushroom cloud rising from the backyard of the alchemy workshop.

I really haven't made any progress ...

Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod shook his head helplessly.

ps: Today there is a bit of Cavern, so one more

ps2: Why do you guys only pay attention to the magic? It ’s so impure. Am I like that person? (To be continued.)
