Summoning the Holy Sword
Chapter 43: Early development
Things went very smoothly, but Li Jie was frightened by the new base after her makeover. The poor girl was horrified to hug the supplies and items she bought and hovered around the gate, but she did n’t dare to enter. Rhodes found her words, and I'm afraid Li Jie might be standing outside until dark.
Of course, Li Jie had some doubts as to why such a change had taken place, after all, although Rhodes said that she would clean up the tattered ones before she left. But according to common sense, at most, it's just the degree to clean up the shabby, how can it not be done so thoroughly. But since Rhodes didn't want to say more, Lijie didn't ask any more. After so many things, the girl has basically unconditional trust in Rhodes. Although such a weird thing is indeed weird, but Rhodes is a very mysterious person, so it is not surprising.
And Li Jie believed that Rhodes would one day tell these secrets.
Through Li Jie, Rhode also inquired about the situation of the mercenary association. Obviously, the old man was quite surprised that he could handle this haunted house. Obviously, he did not believe that they had the ability to handle this well-known haunted house in Deep Rock. Instead, Serek was on their side. Not only that, he also suggested that Rhodes should pay attention to their size and identity through Lijie to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
As for Serek's suggestion, Rhodes understood it, and he was very clear. Although Cerel's haunted house was well known, there were no masters in Deep Rock. Even people like the sword master Serek did n’t know the true face of things here. You can easily clean them up. And they still haven't shot, we can be sure that this is not the monster's strength gap problem, but some more outer factors.
After all, this is also located in the upper area, which belongs to the range of the nobility, and there will certainly be trouble. Now Rhodes has just moved in, the name of the fierce house is still there, so I am afraid that no one will come to trouble at half past one. But after a long time, when people find that the haunted house is no longer "fierce", then things will not be easy. I bought such a large house with six hundred gold coins. Although the procedure is no problem, I am afraid that everyone will have some ideas. After all, as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world.
These Rhodes are naturally very clear, but he was curious why Serek reminded himself of this kind of thing, to know that he had no communication with himself ... Is it because of the previous war, Serek had love heart of?
However, these are the future things. The most practical thing in front of Rhodes is only one thing, which is the real development of the Star Mercenary Corps.
The first problem is manpower.
The two men's mercenary regiment would definitely not work. Indeed, relying on Rod's familiarity with the area, it was not difficult to complete some tasks back and forth. However, lack of staff means that there is no way to make a flexible change. With Rhode's current staffing configuration, he can only fight undead, and it will be very troublesome if he encounters a living creature. As for ordinary mercenary tasks, such as escorts, transportation, etc., with their own manpower, no one is willing to entrust themselves.
But if you want to hire, what kind of people should you hire? At least the surname-price ratio must be assigned ... ... from the current property in Rhodes's hands, at most one or two people can be hired. Good steel will be used on the blade. If you choose the wrong person, you won't be able to cry.
Sitting in the study, Rhodes frowned, and Nodda's room was a little empty, except for a desk, chairs, and a bookshelf. Although a bit shabby, I can only do it now.
Closing the book in hand, Rhodes fell into deep memories.
August of the Year of Glory—that is, a year and a half later, the country of light passed an investigation and declared that the country of night attacked its border merchant ships, and then they quickly dispatched troops, occupied the Solagang Mountains, and controlled there. Of the residents who claimed to have been the culprits in attacking the merchant ships of the Kingdom of Light, arrested them and executed them.
Two months later, the kingdom of the night responded with an army, they recaptured the Solagang Mountains, and the garrison of the kingdom of light was completely destroyed.
Then, a full-scale war broke out.
The Principality of Muen, where Rhodes was the first, was attacked by the Kingdom of the Night, which was actually avoidable, but the Order of the Kingdom of Light issued an order, causing the Principality of Moon to stand up to face the blade of the night With sharp sword.
It was the most serious death and injury in Rhodes' memory. The kingdom of the night sent powerful armies including vampires and mage bones with an average level close to eighty to hit the duke of Munn. This was the most at that time. For players of level 40 or 50, the brief is a disaster name. Although many players spontaneously organized to try to defend their land. However, the weak resistance of these players is so weak in the face of the powerful army of the night country. They died and resurrected again and again, but even so, they could not withstand the pace of the night [***] team. At this time, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Light made a decision that shocked all players-they declared that the Principality of Munn was secretly communicating with the enemy, and sent troops to attack the Principality of Munn.
This became the last straw that overwhelmed the Principality of Muen that had been crumbling in the storm. Under the attack of the two sides, the Principality of Muen began to fall back, and at this time, the principal of the Principality of Muen Lydia Pa Field Milla Franica finally made a decision to send her elite army "Purple Lily" to **** the player and her people to Port Trisfia for retreat.
Rhodes still remembers the scene at the time. They stood next to the long refugee team. Almost every player was gritting his teeth and staring at the land behind him. That's not only because of the insults that the player was actually expelled by npc, but also the anger of the idiot councils in the country of light.
The inhabitants of the Principality of Munn left, and they left in hastily-colored clothes and earth-colored faces.
The players of the Principality of Munn left, they were all flushed and yelled, "You play us in the production team!" "Go to the game company!" "I want to kill the cohort of xx!", And left unwillingly.
Only one person stayed.
With the power of an angel, she blocked the 100,000 army of the kingdom of the night, and the girl who closed her eyes until the last ship left the port of Trisfia. Until the last moment, she still carried out her oath ----- "King Always stand behind the people and shield them from the wind and rain, whether they want to or not. "
Then, the anger of the players broke out.
Rhodes clearly remembers that this is the largest outbreak of Dragon Soul Mainland in history. In less than a week, hundreds of thousands of players almost broke the game's official forum. Many people claim that this is a brute force against the player's will. And more players use their actual actions to express their resentment, one by one player guilds, and then they raised the blade of revenge against the compatriots and npcs of the kingdom of light camp. And after that, Rhodes finally gave up his attitude towards the game and just started playing seriously. After gathering several players who also have a deep hatred for the kingdom of light, Starlight was formed. That's for their dignity as a player, as well as their resistance to the game system, and it is even more out of naked anger and revenge.
They succeeded.
Under the leadership of Rhodes, Starlight grew stronger. Then, they swept across the kingdom of light, completely destroying the parliament of the kingdom of light, and then they polished their blades and launched an attack on another enemy country of night, In the end, they also succeeded, and even killed the Dark Dragon known as one of the Five Dragons of Creation. But also after this battle, Starlight jumped up and became the most powerful guild in the entire game, none of them.
It can be said that they succeeded and were brilliant. But in Rhodes' heart, there was always a small voice.
When they destroyed the council, and when they defeated the night dragon, Rhodes had the same idea. If I had such power at that time, would things turn for the better? Will everything change?
Rhodes doesn't know, but he also knows that it's just a dream. The game won't go back, and it won't be possible to start over. He used to think so, only after coming to this world ... Rhodes found out that he had another chance to change again and change his destiny.
He didn't want to taste the taste again. The humiliation he suffered as a refugee or a player must not be allowed to happen to himself again.
Before that, Rhodes had thought about whether to go to Golden City to try his luck after leaving Dusk Forest, but when he learned of Li Jie's encounter, Rhodes changed his mind. Since he can once form a powerful guild that is powerful enough to completely destroy the kingdom of light and the kingdom of night, can even compete with the devil of hell, and finally be able to kill the dragon of the void, then why can't he come again?
There is still a year and a half to say whether it is long or not.
And now, with the mercenary association's recognition and Rhodes ’stronghold, he finally plans to start a big fight. He wants to recreate his glory here, and this time, he wo n’t let the one back then. This kind of stigma fell upon himself again, which Rhodes could never tolerate.
Everything is on the right track, it's time to start preparing yourself.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of Deep Stone City outside the window, Rhode began to recall the surnames and skills of those hiring npcs in the game in his brain. Soon after, Rhodes made up his mind.
"Lijie."
He stood up, knocked on the table, and soon, the girl who was sitting by the window reading the book, heard Rhode's call, and immediately stood up.
"Let's go to the mercenary association."
The mercenary association is still as lively as ever, and it is no different from the previous few days. The boring mercenaries are sitting at the table next to the hall, drinking and chatting, and more people are crowded in front to pick up or hand over tasks.
Rhodes quickly found their names on the slate that marked the ranks of all the mercenary regiments in the Pafield area on the front hall. There were thirty-two mercenary regiments on the slate, and the starlight was ranked last. First, the points are also a very noticeable bite.
Seeing here, Li Jie's expression was a bit helpless. Although she saw it yesterday, she could not bear the thought of her mercenary regiment flowing from the original to the tail. However, she took a deep breath and calmed down, and then she said to Rhodes.
"Sir, we are now at the bottom of the ranking. There are no points ......... The other mercenary regiments have at least five points. We must think of a way."
"I know."
Rhode slightly nodded in response, he looked up and quickly saw another name-Red Eagle, if Rhode remembered correctly, Red Eagle should be the head of the maid who Li Jie knew before. The team led by them looks like they have done a good job, ranking 21st. They belong to the mid-stream level that does not seek for merit, but does not want to be high or low.
But Rhode didn't come here today for such a trivial matter, he just glanced over, and then walked to the other side of the hall.
The distribution of mercenary associations is very obvious. The lobby on the left is occupied by the various mercenary groups, while the right is where the idle and unorganized mercenaries are staying. For various reasons, these people did not enter the mercenary regiment. They could only wait here, either to take on common tasks or wait for the mercenary regiment to recruit staff. Because of this, it ’s much colder here than in the lobby. The mercenaries sitting at the table are either chatting with a casual look, or sitting cold in the corner like others owe him money. .
The appearance of Rhodes and Li Jie attracted many people's attention. They whistled loudly and greeted them with a smile. However, Rhodes apparently ignored the meaning of these idiots whose people's last names were unclear, and Li Jie was already accustomed to this confusion, but only distanced them with a polite and reserved smile, There is no intention to respond. Because she also knows that these mercenaries are just idle and boring and want to have some fun. Whether they are angry or happy, their purpose is achieved, and it will be more troublesome at that time. It's better to pretend that they haven't encountered anything, so that they will not be entangled anymore because they are bored.
Throwing those annoying noises aside, Rhodes turned his head and looked into the corner next to him. Then he walked over ...
The wine in the glass is still so sweet.
The old man put down the wine glass in his hand, firmly pressed his slightly trembling right hand, leaned on the back chair, and stared at the ground indifferently. He used to be a member of the Bright Wind Mercenary Regiment. At that time, he was confident, brave, full of hope and vitality. He once thought that he could one day become the head of the Mercenary Regiment, and led his subordinates. With adventure, this is his hope and his goal.
But after the injury, everything changed.
He had no power at that time, and those who once worshipped him also abandoned him, but now? The young man who once had a lot of sights turned into a poor old guy, and could do nothing except to borrow alcohol to relieve his sorrow. Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help coming from it. He looked up and glanced at the little ghosts around him with contempt. They are too young, still dreaming, adventure, beauty, money, fame, what is this? Everything is meaningless. When they have lost everything they depend on, what do these little guys have left?
The old man reached out and touched his right eye covered by the blindfold, then raised the glass and tried to ask the bartender to get another glass.
It was then that he found two people sitting next to him.
"Walk? Mr. Walker Didal?"
