Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

“Yes, so I will meet with Fulilian alone later.”

After a pause, Rhode added

“”Just in case, I will stay in the Land of Swords for a while. How long will it take depends on the situation.”

Rhodes didn’t know if this was part of the Human God’s plan.

The other party was sure that he couldn’t pull out the Holy Sword, and he thought that he would definitely not be willing to give up, so he used this to delay his steps.

This speculation was entirely possible.

Although the Human God regarded himself as a dangerous enemy, it was indeed not the time for the Holy Sword to be born, and Rhodes could not really pull it out no matter how he thought about it.

But the Human God could not have imagined that Rhodes did not need the approval of the Creator God to forcibly pull it out!

“Although I can use Flying Thunder God to travel back and forth at any time, I need everyone to be on alert just in case.”

Rhode doesn’t have to worry about his own safety, but he doesn’t rule out the possibility that the human god will take the opportunity to send people to attack Arcadia.

Unohana Retsu pondered for a moment.

“In that case, let’s all come.”

Rhodes pinched his brows and looked helpless.

“I didn’t intend to alarm too many people.”

“Recently, we have a rare opportunity to get together.”

“Well, okay.”

Rhode thought carefully and realized that he really needed to make some arrangements. He lowered his head and murmured softly.

“Charlotte, Xiludi.”

Bang——

Charlotte rarely sensed Rhode’s call, her face changed slightly, she put down the work at hand, and instantly moved from the secret base to the scene.

The treasure was in a semi-released state, and the whole person was on alert and ready for battle.

“Master?”

“Rest assured, there are no enemies, we just need your help to bring everyone here.”

Rhode took out the opening card with the Flying Thunder God mark and handed it to Charlotte.

“You distribute these cards to them, and after using magic to activate the marks on them, I can instantly transfer them to the field.”

As a contracted maid demon, Xiludi was a little slow, and then rushed to the flower arrangement room and knelt on one knee.

“Owner!”

“Xiludi, you and Charlotte separately distribute the cards and ask them to stop what they are doing and come over.”

“Yes.”

Shiludi and Charlotte looked at each other, tacitly assigned their respective targets, and disappeared neatly from the spot.

Nanami narrowed his eyes and nodded in praise.

“Rhodes’ subordinates are all reliable experts.”

Rhodes chuckled proudly.

“Of course!”

“But why are they all beautiful girls?”

“…….How would I know!”

“”Rod is so dishonest!”

The two of them started bickering again for no apparent reason.

Unohana Retsu drank her tea quietly, with a gentle smile between her eyebrows.

The two childish ghosts opposite were arguing endlessly with harmless words.

The silence and the noise were unexpectedly harmonious and warm at this moment.

The first to arrive was Lilya.

When Rod saw her coming, he immediately stopped fooling around with Nanami and sat upright.

Lilya was a little surprised that Rod came back suddenly, but she was only stunned for a moment and immediately entered the maid state.

She began to tidy up the messy room and brewed tea for the people who were coming.

Lilya went out for a while, brought back two towels and new clothes, knelt beside Rod, and gently held him in her arms.

“Your Majesty, let me wipe your sweat.”

“I actually didn’t…….”

“Huh? What did you say?”

“”Well, you come on.”

Rhode’s clothes were rarely torn or dirty.

But because of the previous battle with Nanami, there were indeed several large holes.

He didn’t notice it, but Lilya noticed it immediately.

Lilya spread out the new clothes.

Rhode stood up and raised his hands to the height of his shoulders and opened them outward, allowing Lilya to change his clothes.

He didn’t mind changing clothes in front of his recognized family.

Nanami seemed to have no idea what shyness was. He looked at him up and down, nodding his head from time to time to show his satisfaction.

Unohana Retsu lowered his head and stood quietly. She sipped her tea, but her eyes also fell on Rhode.

It was just that her gaze that occasionally lingered on his neck and heart made Rhode’s scalp tingle.

In the past ten years, Lilya has gradually grown into a real head maid, and her majestic appearance has made a group of little maids admire her.

Her personality has also become more stable. In order to control her subordinates, she always has an expressionless and cold face.

However, at this time, Lilya’s cheeks were slightly flushed.

Even after being with Rhode for ten years, her feelings for him have never become indifferent. Instead, they have become stronger.

“Thank you for your hard work, Lilya.

Lilya couldn’t help but smile faintly.

“This is my duty.”

After that, Lilya wiped the sweat off the face of Nanami.

Nanami was a little uncomfortable, but it was hard for her to refuse Lilya’s kindness.

However, she did not treat Lilya as a maid, but seriously called her sister.

Rhode was thinking to himself.

Nanami is my sister, Lilya is Nanami’s sister, but I am Lilya’s master.

Damn, this relationship is really messy.

Soon, all the most trusted senior officials of Arcadia gathered in the room.

Rita observed the girl sitting next to Rhode for a while. As the de facto governor of the country, she stood up and lifted her skirt and bowed slightly.

Although she noticed that her majesty had become more attractive, she knew that now was not the time to tease him, so she had to speak seriously.

“Your Majesty, you summoned us here late at night. Is there something important you want to discuss?”

Rhode was relieved to see that Rita didn’t cause any trouble, so he told everyone that he would stay in the Sword Country for a while, and the length of time was unknown.

“So, in order to prevent possible attacks from the mastermind, I need you to be prepared.”

“If you have any difficulties at work, you can raise them.

In order not to worry everyone, he did not speak out his speculation about time travel in public.

“”Hi, hi, hi, I have a question. After Rhode gets the sword of salvation, can you let me see it?!”

The first person to speak was Tsubaki Korland.

In the maze city of Orario in the wrong world, she is a well-respected and well-deserved top-level craftsman.

She is a tall woman with black hair and brown skin. She wears an eye patch on her left eye and bright red baggy pants, giving off a Far Eastern vibe.

Rhode’s head hurts when he hears this guy speak.

Over the years, every time she came to him, she asked for materials or money.

“Don’t worry, I will show you, but I don’t think you can see anything. After all, it is a weapon forged by the God of Creation.

She narrowed her red right eye without the eye mask and crossed her arms across her chest.

“I can’t pretend I didn’t hear this? Is Rhode looking down on me?”

“The one-eyed craftsman’s forging ability is unquestionable, but I am just stating the facts. It would be better if your main god Hephaestus came to do it.”

“I have been snatched back from the Lord God by you, and now my only master is Rhode~”

Chun showed a wicked smile.

“But if you can summon the Lord God, I won’t mind either~”

As Rhode gradually gained the ability to protect himself, his ability to summon strong men from other worlds became a tacit secret among the top leaders.

Rhode glared at her unhappily.

“Are you really not afraid of your faction being annexed?”

He thought so, but the problem is that although the gods in the lower world of the Earth World seem to be weak, that is because they have taken the initiative to limit their own power.

Hephaestus is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

Only S-level or higher cards can summon her.

“Haha, we are all rare craftsmen. We will not be killed. At most, we will just be exploited.”

“If someone is broken just by enduring this kind of hardship, it can only mean that they are just like that.”

In an instant, the atmosphere and eyes of Tsubaki suddenly became stern.

“No matter what the cost, as a mortal, you must invest everything you have, even freedom and the future, otherwise you can never touch the realm of God!”

Tsubaki asserted in a low voice, with a fierce glow like a furnace in her right eye.

“If you just want to spend your days leisurely under protection, it is simply a foolish dream to want to create the supreme weapon.”

That look is the same as Alice’s.

The pride, reserve, desire, and insatiable persistence of a craftsman.

Tsubaki faced the scenery that only those who reached the pinnacle of blacksmithing could see – the world that only she knew, and realized that she had to gamble everything, otherwise there was no hope of surpassing [God’s Creation], and even that realm could not be reached.

Tsubaki glanced at Rhode with a sidelong glance and smiled boldly.

“Or are you afraid that I have a powerful divine weapon?”

Faced with Chun’s bold provocation, everyone in the room smiled.

Rhode finally understood why he summoned Chun, so he closed his eyes and smiled.

“If you target me, all you’ll see is the abyss.”

“I have seen the heaven, and I would like to see the scenery of the abyss.”

“Oh, I hope you won’t regret it.”

Rhode is not a skilled forger.

But he has the Zhao Dao Zhen, which can obliterate the meaning of a forger’s existence.

However, Rhode will not deny Chun’s efforts. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

After all, in the world of Collapse Iron, weren’t the Twelve Zhao Dao also forged?

Seeing that Rhode agreed to her request, Chun raised her lips and asked again

“The Soul Steel stock of the Tiangong Department is running low.”

“How much difference?”

“Let’s make do with one trillion tons first”

“puff——”

Rhode spat out a mouthful of blood and rejected the answer without a second thought.

“Although I have a lot of magic power, I can’t consume it like this!”

Chun pouted, quite dissatisfied.

“Didn’t you say there was a way to [replenish magic]?”

“Is it not possible for me to use this healthy and full body to help you restore your magic power?”

“”Ahem.”

Before Rhode could finish his words, Lilya behind him coughed lightly, interrupting Chun’s speech.

Chun glanced back and forth between them, with a seriously distorted smile on her face, revealing an expression of understanding everything.

“oh~~~~”

“In this case, I will be the second one.”

Rita narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Oh, someone seems to have no concept of first come first served.”

Tsubaki lifted her black bangs, raised her lips and looked at Rita unceremoniously.

“I only know that the strong go up and the weak go down”

“Tsk, it seems that I haven’t taken action for a long time, so some people think that I am easy to bully.”

“Wanna go out and have a fight?”

“Can…….”

Knock knock –

Rhode tapped the table with his fingers.

The two immediately stopped arguing and sat down without saying a word. Although they played with Rhode from time to time, they never denied his authority.

“I will find time to leave ten tons of soul steel for Chun, but I require you to equip all members of the First Knights with third-generation knight armor in the shortest possible time.

Chun frowned slightly and estimated.

“With Talhand’s help, it won’t be a big problem.”

“But if that happens, several R&D projects of the Tiangong Department will have to be suspended. I need more experts to help me.”

After hearing this, Rhode pondered in his heart.

The reason why he saved up many cards and didn’t draw them was because of the rating of Arcadia.

If the rating is raised to A, all the B-level and A-level cards in his hand will become designated summoning types!

This will undoubtedly maximize the benefits.

There is no blind expansion of the country because a large influx of poor people will seriously reduce the country’s rating.

But now it seems that other countries are afraid that Arcadia will really develop smoothly to the level of A.

“I understand. I will find a way to get you some help.”

“But if the other party is stronger than you…….”

Tsubaki waved her hand nonchalantly

“As long as the other party can convince me, I will give my position to the other party!”

After Chun finished speaking, she retreated to the corner.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Rita spoke first.

“Your Majesty, the current Destiny has two S-class Valkyries, twelve A-class Valkyries, seventy-two B-class Valkyries, and five hundred and eighty candidates.”

“I request that the fate of the world be completely transferred to Lilia for management.”

The fate of the world is an organization developed from the twelve maids in the past.

In fact, not long after Unohana Retsu was summoned, Lilia’s old injury was completely healed by Nishizuku.

After years of training, Lilia finally became the second S-class Valkyrie after Rita.

Of course, her combat power is naturally not comparable to that guy, but it is only slightly weaker than Rita.

The acquired stigmata strengthened her kendo talent, and with Unohana Retsu beside her,

Lilia has indeed become a trustworthy strongman. Now Rita is busy with state affairs and has no intention of taking charge of the fate of the world.

Rhode did not think much and replied decisively.

“”Okay.”

Rita looked at Lilia, who was hesitant to speak, encouragingly, and then sighed distressedly.

“Even if I leave my job, I still need the help of the people in power.”

“The country is much more prosperous now than it was ten years ago, and I have too much work to deal with.”

In fact, most of the problems are the differences in thinking and working methods between modern people and medieval people.

Although fools are easy to manage, it does not mean that they are not cunning.

How to ensure that everyone executes orders most efficiently is not something that can be achieved simply by relying on violent deterrence.

Rita is really exhausted by intrigues with the people below every day.

After all, Rita is not Otto, and she is not the best at management.

Moreover, as the country develops, corruption is inevitable.

If Rita wants to rectify it, she needs a reliable helper.

Rhodes was also a little afraid that Rita would die suddenly. He rubbed his index finger and suddenly asked

“How is Nathan Reitbart’s son now?”

Rita was stunned for a moment, and recalled the guy she and Rhodes met when they left the palace ten years ago.

“Are you talking about the son of the captain of the royal capital guard?”

“kindness”

“I only know that his son seems to have joined the magic academy.”

Rod looked at Fulilian.

The old elf looked up from the magic book and thought for a while with blurry eyes.

“Um, Dilicretbart, 14 years old, hardworking, average magic talent, has reached the graduation standard.”

Rhode immediately ordered after hearing this.

“He was given a graduation exam, and then Rita assigned him to a grassroots position. His future was not in magic.”

“A capable young person should be given more responsibilities.

After all, he is a future prime minister. Although he is still young, it is almost time for him to shine for the country.

Rita smiled knowingly and immediately thought of a place for this unfortunate guy.

“Yes, I understand”

“As for your deputy, I will find a way.”

However, political talents are rare in the anime world, and Rhode is not sure that he can find the right one.

Judging from the preference of the summoning system, the characters summoned are all female characters.

Female characters who are good at politics….

Rhode searched his mind, but could hardly find a few.

Gileno wagged his tail and saw Rita finish her work report and raised her hand nervously.

“I think the capital and the palace lack a strong barrier. Recently, there are more and more spies and assassins who are desperate for their lives.”
