Summoning the Holy Sword

It was a little gloomy.

The wind mixed with water vapor passed through the forest, bringing a wave of coolness.

"Boy, it may be raining."

Old Walker narrowed his eyes, looked closely at the thick clouds above his head, and then spoke to Rhodes. When he heard his reminder, Rhode stopped. He looked at the road in front of the mountains, and looked everywhere, without seeing any trace of human habitation.

"How long will it take?"

"It may take at least half a day to a day."

"It's too late. It's too risky to move on. Let them go nearby to see if there is a place to hide from the rain, and then search for it."

"Ok."

Hearing Rhode's decision, Old Walker nodded, and then he turned around and whistled loudly at the others, making an unmistakable gesture that only a mercenary would understand. After seeing the gestures made by the old Walker, Shana immediately took Randol and other mercenaries apart, looking for a place to hide from the rain, while collecting some magic plants and looking for prey for dinner, The others sat aside and began to rest.

This is also a change made by Rhodes to the mercenary regiment. Usually, mercenaries usually do not seek and collect magic plants unless they are commissioned. Except for those herbs that have a temporary surname for healing and wound healing, the rest of the magic plants are meaningless to mercenaries. But now Rhodes requires them to collect them when they find magic plants when they go out. After all, unlike other mercenary regiments, Rhodes' mercenary regiments have alchemists who can specialize in pharmaceutical agents, and Rabis is here. These magic plants have their place. As long as these magic plants are refined into potions, not only can the mercenary regiment be enhanced to a certain extent, but it is also a good way to get rich. The only disadvantage is that the current sources and types of materials for Rhodes are too limited, so the benefits are not much. But Rhodes believes that as long as there is enough time, these are not the problems.

As if this time heading to Gaoya, Rhodes provided each mercenary with a set of strictly accurate and complete potions-three bottles of fire flaming agent, two bottles of healing potions and one bottle of protective potions. The flaming agent can be used to smear on the weapon to form a burning flame, which has a considerable effect on those undead, and the protective agent can form a translucent wind shield on the side of the user to resist the attack.

Although the effects of these potions are very limited due to the limitation of raw materials and grades, even the healing potions can only be used to treat some minor injuries, but they still make the mercenaries cheer. You must know that magic potions are on the market. Very expensive luxury goods, mercenaries can't afford these things at all. Even a former mercenary commander like Shana can only lie drooling outside the window. Many mercenaries spend their savings for almost a lifetime before they can buy them. A bottle of magic potion, but this bottle is also looked at by them like a baby, and will not be used until the last name is at stake. And now they can get so many bottles of magic potions without spending a penny. This is just like dreaming for many people, and the price is just letting them spend some time in the forest to collect some in their opinion. The magic plant that Ping Yue couldn't use at all, mercenaries couldn't refuse such a good thing.

So after receiving the order, the people immediately dispersed, searching for magical plants all over the forest. Of course, near the crowd, most of the magical plants were not many, and the species were not rare. However, now Rhodes does not have the capital to set up a mining group as in the game to collect those treasures in the deserted areas, and it will be available first.

If he could, he hoped that Marlene could make some magic scrolls. Unfortunately, this time, when the young lady went out, she obviously didn't consider herself to have enough food and clothing, so she did n’t carry the materials and props used to make magic scrolls. And the materials circulating outside are expensive, and Rhodes hasn't reached the point where he can spend a lot of money, only to bite his teeth.

Looking away from the mercenaries who were walking around, Rhode looked at the three happy girls sitting next to each other and chatting.

Annie was still as busy as ever, strange to say, when there was no task, she was like a bear in a hibernating state, a drowsy look anytime, anywhere. After receiving the task and starting to act, the girl immediately showed infinite vitality. At this moment, she was standing in front of Marin and Li Jie, gesticulating not knowing what to say, but watching her excited Looks like it should be a very interesting topic.

And Li Jie ’s performance gradually changed. After the battle of the black robe master, she became much more cheerful than before. Rhodes did n’t know what happened to her, but she saw that she was changing for the better. Still reassure Rhodes. For an adventurer, a good attitude is very important. It is also a good thing that Li Jie is able to get out of the former shadow.

As for Malin, she was still sitting quietly as usual, listening to the conversation between the two with an elegant, soft smile as He Ping said. Although her age is not much different from the other two, her attitude and temperament are far more mature than the former two.

What made Rhodes somewhat puzzled was that Marin also told him that the Xenia family had agreed to her request and allowed her to stay here, unless she encountered any important things, otherwise she would not have to consider leaving. This surprised Rhodes. He couldn't figure out why the Xenia family made such a decision. But since he didn't understand it, Rhodes no longer thought about it. In any case, it is only good for Rhodes to have such a powerful help beside him.

Shana's movement was very fast. Before the rainstorm poured down, she found a cave not far from the path. After confirming that it was not a shelter for wild animals or mountain bandits, the crowd quickly entered into it. Without waiting for them to settle things around, the heavy rain fell from the sky and began to compose a new movement.

"call…………"

The bonfire rose in the cave, dissipating the thick chill brought by the torrential rain. The delicious broth prepared by the old Walker also brought everyone enough heat to resist the cold wind, which made the original exhausted because of hurrying. The mercenaries were much more comfortable. They sat in pairs, chatted and whispered, or prepared their weapons and tools, ready to fight at any time.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Rhode could not help but miss it. Although in the game, players cannot stop their footsteps due to the bad weather and hunger and cold, but they will sit together like this before resting into the copy or facing the final boss battle, while resting Talk and wait for the next fight.

But at that time, he could join in, but now Rhodes only feels that all this is a little far away from himself.

He is not a person of this world.

Although familiar with this world, Rhodes is not a fanatic. He prefers to talk with his companions about the recent new mobile phones, or current political news and those popular music. After despising the brain residual fan, haha Laughing and chatting about some jokes that are not Daya Hall, there are some people complaining about recent jobs are not easy to find or housing prices have fallen sharply, and they have complained about buying a house before.

That was his life.

But now ... Rhodes shook his head and withdrew his thoughts, he closed his eyes.

There is always something to change.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help sighing.

Just then, he suddenly heard a crisp bell.

"Ding………"

Rhode opened his eyes and looked out of the cave. Only in the light of the fire, a thin figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and gold hanging on the top of the curved rod. The yellow bell gave off a dim glow under the light of the flame, and behind that figure, you could still see faintly five or six white lambs.

As the head of security, Shana quickly greeted her. She walked to the other side and whispered something, and then the red-haired mercenary turned her head and reported to Rhodes.

"Sir, shepherd. She wants to hide from the rain here. Will she let her in?"

"come in."

Hearing Shana's report, Rhode didn't say much, but responded with a slight nod. After all, this cave is not small, and there are no problems in cramming a few sheep and one person in.

After receiving Rhode's reply, Shana quickly turned away and put the other side in. Until then, the public could clearly see what the uninvited guest really looked like.

She was wearing an old cloak that had been washed and turned pale, and was even a bit out of shape, completely covering her thin body. Judging from his physique, this shepherd is probably younger than Annie, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, his little hand holding a wooden staff is pale and thin, almost skinny. In the face of the mercenaries, the shepherd was also very well behaved. She bowed her head to the others and thanked her, while driving the herds skillfully and taking them deep into the cave. After taking the sheep into the corner, she sat down.

"You'll be cold when you sit there. Would you like to come here and cook with the fire?"

Looking at the thin figure of the shepherd, Li Jie involuntarily initiated the invitation. When she heard her invitation, the shepherd looked up curiously, and looked at the crowd with some hesitation, then stood up slowly, then walked to the side of the fire and sat down. Li Jie smiled, stretched out her hand, and brought her a bowl of hot soup.

"Come, drink some soup to warm your body."

But this time, in the face of Li Jie's enthusiasm, the other side reached out and waved it, obviously it was a very clear rejection.

"You're welcome. If you get cold and get sick, it won't be good, will you?"

Marlene also persuaded, in fact, without her, anyone could clearly see that the body wrapped under the large cape was shaking, and it was obvious that this was a sign of cold wind.

"..............."

But even so, the girl still shook her head in the face of persuasion from the two.

At this moment, because of a moment of curiosity, Anne, who was secretly peeking at the girl hidden in the cape, suddenly screamed and jumped.

"Head, come and see! This is too much!"
