Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

“”Sorry, it’s a bit shabby, so I can only entertain you here.”

Rhodes asked everyone to follow him to the temporary residence.

It was built by the maid of destiny brought by Yuuki Yuuki in less than half an hour.

Although Rhodes had no plan to stay here, he also had the means to teleport back at any time.

But Rita did not relax Rhodes’s pomp.

In the imperial country, etiquette is a cumbersome but the most important part that cannot be ignored.

If this is omitted because it is troublesome, ordinary people below will develop a contemptuous heart over time.

Of course, if it is an important person with power comparable to that of a country, it is natural to treat him in a different way.

Susanna and others looked at each other, shocked by the case.

“Simple…….?”

Patrice, a sturdy forward, motioned with his eyes for everyone to look up.

Susannah took one look and couldn’t help but gasp.

“Hiss——What a huge magic stone!”

The magic stone is a very rare stone that can retain sunlight during the day and glow by itself when it gets dark.

A magic stone as big as an entire room is probably not even found in the palace of the wealthy Asura Kingdom.

Now it has appeared in a room in a temporary camp on the front line…..

Everyone couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Mimir, a man of medium build wearing a white robe, was the team’s healer.

He nudged Timothy beside him and asked him to look down.

Timothy looked down in confusion and almost fell to his knees.

“Is this snowman skin?!”

The snowman is a D-level monster that lives in the Great Glacier Valley in the north of Sharia.

As long as you go to the Great Glacier, there will be quite a lot of these monsters there.

However, its fur is rarely circulated in the market.

Because there is nothing needed by humans in the Great Glacier Valley.

So no one will go to the Great Glacier Valley.

As for the snowman’s fur, except for some lone snowmen who were driven out of the tribe and knocked down occasionally.

In addition, only when the royal family of foreign countries went to the Great Glacier Valley to travel, those guys who served as guards in the past would bring it back with the mentality of not being insignificant. A snowman skin the size of an entire room is absolutely priceless and can be used to make a royal robe. But now they are carelessly stepping on it, and it is even stained with a lot of mud and dirt……..

Even if they were all sold, they couldn’t afford the compensation!

Timothy was dumbfounded.

The house was built with all anti-magic bricks, which was dizzying!

This is a kind of brick that is resistant to magic power and can withstand even large-scale attack magic.

The manufacture and sale of anti-magic bricks are monopolized by the Magic Guild. In the Kingdom of Asura, it is an expensive item that is only used in the capital.

Even the Holy Kingdom of Milis and the Kingdom of the Dragon King do not have such items, and the manufacturing method is top secret. It is almost impossible for a country like Arcadia, which is not officially recognized internationally, to obtain anti-magic bricks through formal channels.

What’s more, Timothy knew that Arcadia was separated from the northern land by two countries and the Red Dragon Mountains.

Even if he wanted to smuggle, he could only go around a long way to get a few samples from the Kingdom of Asura.

But now that anti-magic bricks can be used to build temporary residences so luxuriously, it can be seen that the technology itself has been widely used in Arcadia.

He didn’t know how Arcadia cracked the highest masterpiece that the Magic Guild had spent decades to develop.

He also couldn’t understand why Arcadia had gotten something for free, but the usually overbearing Magic Guild didn’t react.

But he knew that Arcadia was definitely not as innocent as the outside world rumored.

In fact, if he asked Rhode boldly, he would tell him confidently that how could using one’s own things be considered getting something for free?

His master was Fulilian, and Fulilian’s master Volame was one of the founders of the Magic Guild.

And Volame’s master Celia still holds the most important position in the Magic Guild.

After all, they are all family.

Rhode naturally had no psychological burden and ruthlessly blew away the old man’s gold coins.

He really didn’t believe that Celia would be so embarrassed as to come all the way here to compete with her apprentice for such a small amount of money.

If she really came, then he would…….Immediately push Fulilian out to step on the mines, and then start working overnight!

Timothy was secretly shocked, as if he saw a dark abyss hidden under the seemingly calm lake.

Everyone outside believed that the Kingdom of Xillon had been established for a long time, and with the support of the Kingdom of Wanglong, it would be easy for the Kingdom of Xillon to suppress Arcadia.

But now it seems that the Kingdom of Xillon will suffer a great loss for this provocation………

No, maybe the country will be destroyed.

Only two people in the adventurer team were calm.

The female knight at the end of the team was silent and seemed to have something on her mind.

The girl named Sarah had been paying attention to Rhode from beginning to end, and occasionally cast bold and curious glances at him.

The layout of the hall was indeed not complicated.

A coffee table and three sofas.

Rhode sat down at the main seat and invited everyone to sit down with a smile.

“Sit down, don’t be shy.”

Gilenu stood in the corner, holding the hilt of his sword, staring at the adventurers with sharp eyes.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Susanna, who had the temperament of a big sister, took a deep breath.

“Then, we are being rude.”

The men sat on the sofa on the right, while the women squeezed on the sofa on the left.

Rhode knocked on the table, and soon a maid who stayed in the camp offered tea to everyone.

“You must have worked hard sneaking all the way from the Kingdom of Xillon. Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up first.”

Rhodes’ smile was bright and gentle, which made people feel good about him.

In just a few minutes, everyone’s impression of Rhodes was just as the rumors said.

The wise king Rhodes has a strong personal charm, treats people sincerely, has a frank personality, and is able to treat all his people well while having unfathomable strength.

As a member of the royal family, he has no arrogance at all. He works hard to make everyone live a peaceful and happy life. Anyone who wants to see him sincerely will feel loyal to him.

“Let’s go back to the previous topic. Did you originally plan to go to the northern land?”

Susanna is a light brown-skinned female warrior with dreadlocks tied behind her head.

Compared to the nominal captain Timothy, she is more like a real captain.

She has eyes that are good at observing words and expressions, and her mind is more delicate than her rough appearance.

Susanna held a teacup, sat upright, and spoke quickly when she heard the question.

“Yes, I originally wanted to go to the northern land, to gain experience and earn money while learning new magic.”

“But later, I saw the news that Arcadia was recruiting adventurers in the Adventurer’s Guild, so I thought of giving it a try, so I came to the Conflict Zone.”

Rhode nodded slightly.

Facts have proved that money can make anything possible.

The layout ten years ago was quite effective.

Sonya has been implementing Rhode’s policies over the years, constantly spending money to advertise in Adventurer’s Guilds around the world, and even spending a lot of money to bribe local nobles.

Now the Kingdom of Asura has almost become their talent training base.

As for their original destination, the northern land.

Although it is barren, there are still famous countries.

They are the three countries known as the [Three Magic Kingdoms].

The Kingdom of Lanoa is good at magic education. The Principality of Neris is good at making magic tools.

The Principality of Basilant is good at magic-related research..

These three countries formed an alliance, worked together to develop magic, and took root in the northern land.

The three countries have invested a lot of effort in magic-related research. They recruited outstanding talents from all over the world, generously provided funds, and committed to promoting magic research.

As long as the strength of the three countries is combined, even if it is located in the barren north, this alliance is still regarded as having the fourth strongest power in the world and should not be underestimated.

A hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Lanoa, the leader of the alliance of the three major magic countries, established a town in order to make the relationship between the three countries more solid and stable.

The magic city of Xialia.

In this magic city of Xialia, there are three countries that are attracted The three organizations that he was proud of.

The Magic Tool Workshop of the Principality of Neris, the Magic Guild of the Principality of Basilant, and the Magic University of the Kingdom of Lanoa.

Among them, the Magic University is the most famous. The court magicians of the three major magic countries, the teachers of the magic school of the Kingdom of Asura, and other adventurers who have made a name for themselves around the world have almost all studied in this school.

Nowadays, the number of students there has exceeded 10,000, and not only can they learn magic, but also all kinds of knowledge, making it one of the largest schools in the world.

The Luo Qixi that he has always been thinking about graduated from there. (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Although the schools in Arcadia have also received strong support from the country, they still have too few teachers and it is difficult to catch up with the former in a short period of time.

Rhode’s plan for the Magic Alliance is to use the trend of unifying the continent to oppress them and make them surrender unconditionally.

This can preserve their teacher resources and various research materials to the greatest extent, thereby promoting the education cause of Arcadia.

It sounds like a fantasy, but his beloved great master Celia is in that city!

Why choose the high-difficulty mode when you can live off your parents?

Susanna observed that Rhode’s expression did not look angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile

“However, the road to Arcadia was blocked by the Kingdom of Shillong, so we had to stay in the Kingdom of Shillong for a while.”

“As a result, we happened to meet the Knight Commander. After she knew that we wanted to go to Arcadia, she was willing to offer help on the condition that she would go with us.

Susanna pushed the female knight who was bowing her head up and said teasingly

“Jin Jie, what are you waiting for? The king you want to serve is right in front of you, why are you so shy?”

Rhode looked up at the female knight at the end of the team, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile.

“Jin Jie?”

The female knight hesitated for a moment, then stood up and knelt on one knee.

“Xilon Kingdom, former Third Prince Zanoba’s Royal Guard, Jin Jie York, greets His Majesty.”

Jin Jie’s brown hair was tied back into a short ponytail, with only a long fringe on the right side hanging down, making her look heroic and particularly charming.

0Please give me flowers0

Rhode raised his chin slightly, with a playful smile on his face.

“You want to join me?”

“Yes, I heard that the monarch of Arcadia is clear about rewards and punishments, so I have long yearned for it, but I secretly sighed that it is not my destiny.” Jin Jie first praised Rhode, and then said with a sad face[]

“Now King Pakus is slaughtering the royal family in the Kingdom of Shillong and dispatching knights from the Kingdom of Wanglong to squeeze out the original bureaucrats.”

“I wanted to be loyal to my country, but I was not trusted. My family was also taken hostage. In anger and sadness, I wanted to come to Arcadia to seek a way to rescue my family.”

This statement covers both personal feelings and carelessness, which is quite perfect.

If Rhode did not know the character of Jin Jie in front of him clearly, then he would have thought that she was a spy? An assassin? Or a honey trap?

Rhode suddenly became interested in what he had not seen for a long time.

“What is your strength?”

“I’m about 12th among the knights of the Kingdom of Shillong.”

“What sword technique do you use?”

“Water God Flow.”

Rhodes lowered his eyes and asked、

“Oh? Are you related to the water goddess Lydalia?”

Jin Jie keenly noticed that Rhode seemed to be somewhat repulsed by the water goddess, and quickly said

“No, most of the knights in the Kingdom of Xillon practice the Water God School, and so do I.”

Rhode raised his head again with a satisfied smile.

“You were a guard of Zanoba before, why didn’t you ask him for help to rescue your family?”

Jin Jie was silent for a long time, and then spoke of the past in a difficult voice.

There were originally seven princes in the Kingdom of Shillong.

Each prince would have a guard directly under his command when he was born. It is a strategy to give subordinates who will become confidants in the future from an early age, so that the princes can learn how to use talents.

The number of guards is not fixed. As long as the prince performs well, the number will increase, and if he makes mistakes, the number will decrease.

When the king dies, the prince with the largest number of guards will become the next king. When

Rhodes heard about this strange way of selecting the heir, he couldn’t help but call the other party mentally retarded, but he still patiently continued to listen to Jin Jie’s story.

In the past, among all the princes, the one with the largest number of guards The first prince is the most prominent one.

He is conscious of being the eldest son, and although he is a little arrogant, he still behaves in a manner that is in line with his royal status. Therefore, he has a guard of nearly thirty people.

According to the original history, he would have become the next king.

In contrast, the seventh prince, Pakussilon, has only three guards.

But there are people who are worse than him.

That is the third prince, Zanoba Xilon.

The number of his guards is zero, and there is no subordinate who will obey his command.

A few years ago, Jin Jie was his only guard.

But she was simply sold cheaply to Pakus by Zanoba with a doll, and became his subordinate.

“So, Prince Zanoba and I don’t actually have a deep relationship. If I had to say it, it would be more of anger at being looked down upon.”

“What’s wrong with this guy! How can he treat his loyal subordinates like this! He is so stupid, arrogant and mean!”

Sarah suddenly yelled in excitement, and abused Zanoba sharply.

The girl had blonde hair and a strong expression on her face. She was about fifteen years old.

Susanna was startled and quickly pulled Sarah’s sleeve hard, persuading her with cold sweat on her head.

“This is His Majesty in person, don’t be so rude!”

Sarah also realized her own misconduct, but still said with a red face

“Rod…….His Majesty is not a stingy nobleman, and he must hate those who don’t treat their subordinates as human beings!”

Susanna’s back was almost soaked with cold sweat, and she was about to kneel down to apologize.

However, Rhode laughed happily.

“It’s okay, Susanna, don’t be nervous. I admire Sarah’s attitude.”

“What’s more, she’s right. I don’t like that kind of monster.”

Susanna heaved a sigh of relief.

Sarah glared at Susanna with a look of”See, I knew your majesty was this kind of person”, but accidentally made eye contact with Rhode. She immediately shyly looked away, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

In this adventure team, Rhode valued Sarah the most.

Apart from the fact that in a special period in the original work, she almost squeezed out Alice and became one of the heroines.

Sarah has a similar personality to Alice and possesses the outstanding talent of a natural archer.

Now at a young age, she already has the ability of an A adventurer.

In battle, Sarah can be seen from a considerable distance. The distance, accurately and continuously hit the vital points of the monster, has the ability to accurately shoot through the vital points in any situation, faster than chanting magic!

In the early stage, this level of archers is even more popular than magicians, but in the later stage, if facing a Saint-level magician, it is far inferior.

In the final analysis, this world has no further training route for archers.

However, with the omnipotent Rita, combined with the current Arcadia’s systematic strengthening methods, it is not impossible to train her into an Archer who”pierces the stars with this shot”.

Today’s Arcadia does not have talents in long-range sniping. 6.
