Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King

Seeing that Rhodes seemed very interested in the magic of divine strike, Mimir said a few more words.

“Legend has it that during the first war between humans and demons, a terrible demon used some kind of magic to bring great pain to the human race.”

“That is necromancy, magic that can revive the dead and manipulate them. Even in modern times, it is still a forbidden technique that has been passed down in the form of monsters such as skeletons, undead spirits, and living armor.”

“God’s Strike Magic was created to counter the Necromancer Magic. After the war, Necromancer Magic was listed as a forbidden technique and gradually lost its way. Although God’s Strike Magic declined, it still survives today.”

In the Land of Swords, Aura, who had been sleeping on the table after waiting for Rhodes to come back all night, couldn’t help sneezing.

“No…….Damn it, why don’t you come back?…….”

After listening to Mimir’s explanation, Rhodes nodded slightly.

“Very good, when you enter school, write down all the magic you know about divine strike and give it to Fulilian.

Mimir scratched his head and said hesitantly.

“I am willing to contribute to Arcadia, but if the Miris Cult learns that I teach God’s Strike Magic in private, Arcadia might be tried for heresy.”

Rhode smiled but said nothing, just looking at Mimir quietly.

Mimir reacted and his face turned pale.

“”I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I don’t mean to look down on Arcadia, nor do I question your orders!”

Rhodes interrupted him indifferently.

“Okay, you haven’t really seen the true strength of Arcadia, so it’s normal to have such concerns.”

“A minister should not be convicted for giving advice, and you are innocent.

Mimir secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said gratefully

“Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.”

Rhodes waved his hand for him to sit down, and turned back to look at Susanna

“Susannah will take up a position at Sonya’s Chamber of Commerce.”

Susannah had just recovered from the power that Rhode had inadvertently exuded, and her tone was subconsciously much more respectful.

“May I ask your Majesty, who is Lady Sonya?”

“You used to be the head of the Adventurer’s Guild, and now you are mainly responsible for the import and export of Arcadia’s goods. You are thoughtful and good at dealing with people, so you are very suitable for this job.”

Susanna was quite satisfied with her arrangement after hearing this.

“As for Sarah……”

Facing Sarah’s expectant gaze, Rhodes smiled and rubbed her head.

“You should concentrate on your training at the magic academy now.”

Sarah nudged Rhode’s palm and pouted.

“Eh? But I really hope I can help you!”

She waved her arms and said confidently

“I’m very strong!”

Sarah is still very young and has probably rarely experienced setbacks.

Rod thought of a good idea.

“Let’s do this. When you get to the palace, you will fight a girl named Alice in the forest.”

“If you can beat her, I will agree to your request.

Sarah’s eyes lit up and she raised her right hand excitedly.

“Really? It’s a deal!”

If it was just a one-on-one fight, she might still be worried, after all, she was good at archery.

But if they were to fight at a distance in a complex environment, she would definitely win!

Rhode smiled and patted her right hand.

“It’s a deal.”

However, he mourned for Sarah in his heart for a second.

He hoped that the child would not lose confidence.

However, there was really no top Archer in Arcadia at the moment.

Should he summon one?

The loyalty of the adventurer team gave Rhode four more B-level and one A-level summoning cards.

He counted the summoning cards he had not used.

A-level: one.

B-level: six.

C-level: one.

D-level: one.

E-level: one.

Rhode couldn’t help asking in his mind.

“Tongzi, even if those low-level cards can be designated for summoning, they can hardly produce talents that I can use.”

“Is there no way to exchange it for a high-level summoning card?”

【Accept host request…….】

【The system is upgraded to version 1.5】

【Card redemption function is now open】

【Collect ten summon cards of each level to exchange for a higher-level summon card.】

【The labels required for the exchanged cards can only be selected from the ten lower-level cards.

Rhode’s eyes lit up.

The system is really obedient.

He looked at the current card reserves.

Ten B-level cards can be exchanged for one A-level card, and now there are only four cards missing.

In fact, compared with S-level cards, A-level cards are enough to meet Rhode’s needs.

As for the lower-level summoning cards, since Rhode has been too lazy to contact the extras of that level, the number is pitifully small.

But now it seems that it may not be impossible to gather sand into a tower.

However, there is almost no value worth his trouble to subdue people below B-level.

Pure killing is refreshing.

It seems that after solving Jin Jie’s problem, he will go straight to the capital of the Kingdom of Xilong to harvest.

Speaking of Jin Jie, Rhode glanced at her.

Jin Jie was eating barbecue calmly on the surface, but there seemed to be lingering worry and anxiety in her eyes.

She has not been reminded of being collected until now, and she is indeed hiding other thoughts.

After that, Susanna and the others put aside their worries and drank with laughter and anticipation for the future.

The banquet ended in such a lively atmosphere.

Rhode’s ears suddenly moved slightly, revealing a playful expression, and he stood up and clapped his hands.

“All right, Gilenu will arrange accommodation for you. Tomorrow morning, you can continue to set off for the capital.”

Jin Jie also stood up in silence, but was stopped by Rhode.

“Jin Jie, stay here. I have something to talk to you about.”

The panic on Knight Ji’s face was gone in an instant.

Leaving me alone in the middle of the night, is he going to do that?!

Although I have prepared myself mentally, it’s too fast…..

Thinking of Zanoba’s instructions before leaving, Jin Jie couldn’t help but feel mixed emotions.

If the normal schedule had been followed and the battle on the front line had gone smoothly, she probably wouldn’t have had to carry out the final plan.

But no one expected that the King of Arcadia would suddenly appear on the front line.

Wait……..

Jin Jie was shocked and finally realized something was wrong.

Even if Arcadia had intelligence personnel inside the Kingdom of Xilon, how did Rhode suddenly appear on the front line in less than a day?

She raised her head suddenly, but met Rhode’s dark and calm eyes, and felt fear from the bottom of her heart.

“Yes, yes, I got it.”

Rod led the way leisurely with his hands behind his head.

The two walked further and further away.

Soon they came to a place where almost no sound from the camp could be heard. It was so quiet that only the sound of wind and crickets could be heard.

Jin Jie followed behind Rod with a nervous look, and her eyes occasionally glanced at Rod’s defenseless back, calculating the possibility of a successful sneak attack in her mind.

Although he showed his magic skills at the banquet, which was enough to be called a magic genius, but…….No matter how strong a magician is, he will die if he is approached by a swordsman!

Jin Jie was in a dilemma, her heart pounding.

She was not afraid of her own death, but she was afraid of bringing disaster to the monarch she was loyal to.

If she succeeded, it would be good, and she could successfully cause civil strife in Arcadia.

After all, as far as she knew, Arcadia now had no heirs.

As long as the boy in front of her died, those subordinates would be busy fighting for power and neglect the defense of the Kingdom of Xilong.

She believed that even if the guys were loyal to the monarch, they would not go crazy for a dead person and concentrate all their national strength to attack the Kingdom of Xilong.

At that time, the Kingdom of Xilong would only need to wait for the army of the Kingdom of Wanglong to arrive, and then it would swallow up Arcadia in one fell swoop.

Whether it was the coveted product or the gold coins accumulated for ten years, they would become their spoils of victory at that time.

But if she failed, and Rhode didn’t die, it would probably arouse the anger of the entire country of Arcadia.

They walked like this for an unknown amount of time.

Rhode couldn’t help but sigh and stopped.

Before Jin Jie could ask in confusion, she heard a sentence that made her scalp tingle and her back chill.

“Zanoba’s mother is pretty good to you, right?”

Jin Jie didn’t have time to think about why she was exposed, and instantly used all her strength to hit Rhodes’ back.

Rhodes had no defense against her at all, and her assassination would definitely succeed!

At the moment when she was about to succeed, she suddenly hesitated and hesitated in her heart.

Is it really a good idea to do this?

Attack an unarmed fifteen-year-old child?

Although he is the king of the enemy country, he does sympathize with the people and treats the soldiers well.

He is a wise monarch that is hard to come by in a thousand years. The words of envy she said before were not false.

During the meal, Rhodes’s considerate and meticulous arrangements for everyone made her feel shaken at that time.

His jokes with the soldiers made her envious.

If she had been a knight under the other side from the beginning, she would probably be holding her head high on the front battlefield, happily showing her bravery.

Unfortunately, there is no if…….

As a knight of the Kingdom of Xillon, she should be loyal to the end.

At this time, Jin Jie suddenly made up her mind.

I’m sorry, after killing you, I will carry your body back to the camp.

You should not be buried in the wilderness, and your body should not be used and humiliated by the Kingdom of Xillon.

If I am cut into pieces by angry soldiers, I will not have any complaints.

Rather, if I die on the same day as you, maybe I can be reincarnated as your knight in the next life.

With such a complicated feeling, Jin Jie no longer hesitated and swung a full-strength attack and then closed her eyes, as if she did not want to face Rhodes’s eyes before he died.

However…….

There was no sense of contact with any entity!

Damn it!

Jin Jie opened her eyes suddenly, and was shocked to find that her fist could not move forward before it touched the opponent’s body surface, as if blocked by some transparent barrier.

I fell into a trap!

She stomped on the ground, shouted angrily, and used a roundhouse kick.

Bang – a puff of dust dissipated.

Rhodes sat leisurely in the luxurious chair, with his legs crossed.

In front of him, less than a meter away, Uchiha Zhizhi stepped on Jin Jie’s back with an expressionless face, making her lie on the ground unable to move.

Jin Jie twisted her body, veins popped out on her head, and tried to get up.

The next moment, the sharp blade was against her neck. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Uchiha Zhizhi said coldly with an expressionless face

“If you move again, your head will fall off.”

The fierce murderous aura released by Uchiha Zhizhi instantly blanked Jin Jie’s brain.

You have to know that the period that Uchiha Zhizhi experienced was the craziest time when all Uchiha members released Izanami and killed without regard for their lives!

And it was under such circumstances that she geniusly developed Izanami to deal with her fellow tribesmen who had gone astray.

The murderous aura of Uchiha Zhizhi was far beyond what Jin Jie, who was staying in a comfortable country, could bear.

Rhodes clapped his hands in approval.

“As expected of an Uchiha, he does things cleanly and efficiently.”

A trace of joy flashed in Uchiha Ji’s eyes, and he turned his head slightly.

“Your Majesty, I am just an insignificant member of the Uchiha clan.”

This is a humble statement.

The development of Izanami alone is enough to go down in history.

As for the other strong men of the Uchiha clan, except for the girl, Rod only wants their abilities, not to take them as subordinates.

It’s true that their brain circuits are more abnormal than each other.

Uchiha Itachi, the author’s own son, is even more abnormal. Even if there are constant plug-ins and whitewashing, he can’t correct his initial stupid behavior.

In contrast, Uchiha Madara is the most charismatic and normal one.

Rod looked down at Jin Jie’s pretty face covered with mud and asked curiously

“You actually hesitated at the end? Why?”

Jin Jie closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and said nothing.

Rod smiled.[]

“I know even if you don’t tell me”

“As a knight with a conscience, you can’t accept assassinating a virtuous king without any black spots for the sake of a foolish king and a prince who is a tyrant, right?”

Jin Jie glared at Rhodes fiercely.

“Even you are not allowed to slander Lord Zanoba at will!”

Rhodes sneered and spread his hands

“slander?”

“He tore off the head of his own brother, the newly born baby of his wife.”

“After getting married, he still twisted his wife’s head off that night, but he still didn’t receive any punishment”

“In their eyes, they only see you as a puppet who will never talk back to them, and they don’t even consider you as a subordinate.”

“Such a twisted guy, do I need to slander him?”

Jin Jie wanted to refute loudly, but she could only open her mouth and couldn’t say a word, because what Rhodes said was the truth.

It is no exaggeration to say that even she felt in her heart that if Zanoba was compared with Rhodes, then Zanoba might not even be as good as a rat in a stinking ditch.

Rhodes continued

“How about this, considering your last hesitation, let’s make a deal”

“……..Transaction?”

Jin Jie’s eyes flashed with suspicion.

“As long as you tell me your plan, I will let you go and still save your family, and ensure that you live a stable life without being disturbed.”

Jin Jie looked at Rhodes in surprise, and after seeing his serious expression, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, but she said calmly on the surface

“Thank you for your tolerance…….But I have no interest in your proposal. I will never betray Master Zanoba.

The brown-haired knight closed his eyes.

“Kill me.”

Just think of it as atonement for assassinating you.

No matter what Rhode said afterwards, Jin Jie would only repeat”Kill me”.

After a long time, Rhode stood up and walked down from the chair, admiringly saying

“You are indeed a pure white knight worthy of admiration, and your will is strong enough.”

Jin Jie turned a deaf ear to Rhode’s words and wanted to die.

Rhode walked up to Jin Jie and looked down at her with a happy smile.

“But I like to twist your loyalty into my own.”

Jin Jie laughed at Rhode’s words in her heart, thinking that this was impossible.

However, the next moment, as Rhode waved his hand, the one-way barrier that blocked this place showed the scene outside.

A familiar voice came into the barrier.

“Oh, thank you so much for saving us, otherwise we would have been killed by King Pakus.”

“Don’t thank me, I just followed the will of His Majesty Rhodes”

“Yes, yes, yes, it depends on His Majesty Rhodes!”

“Yes, if Your Majesty needs us, we can also do our part for Arcadia!”

“By the way, I heard that it was Jin Jie who asked His Majesty to rescue us. We should let this child thank you properly later!”

Rhode grabbed Jin Jie’s brown hair, asked her to look at the happy crowd outside the barrier, and asked jokingly

“Oh, did you hear that? Your mother asked you to thank me.

Shocked, confused, terrified, unbelievable……..

Jin Jie’s eyes widened. She had never expected to see her family here!

She turned her head and stared at Rhodes with red eyes.

“you…….”

Rhode raised his eyebrows slightly and interrupted the other party’s question with a smile.

“What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t you ask me to save them from the evil king?”

“Now that I have done it, are you surprised?”

“Look at you, your eyes are red with joy~”
