Chapter 189: Conflict
Seeing their appearance, Rhodes immediately flashed in front of Anne. And those mercenaries still seemed to be a little confused, and after they rushed in with their heads down, they realized that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately instinctively drew their weapons, and the two sides reached a stalemate for a while.
Rod's performance was quite calm, he knew where these people came from, there are six labyrinths in the Black Pine Ruins, and there are naturally six passages here, judging from the direction of these people, they should have entered through the "main gate". But unlike them, Rhodes came in through the "back door".
But the performance of these mercenaries was completely different, they looked at the two in front of them in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on. They had thought they were the only adventurers in the ruins, but now it seemed as if things weren't going the way they thought they would, and instead it looked like it was heading for a different trajectory that they were so reluctant to imagine but very close to reality.
"What's wrong? What happened? ”
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a dull voice sounded, and then, behind the mercenaries, a burly man in heavy armor strode out of it, and after he saw Rod and Anne, the man was also slightly stunned, and then he immediately frowned.
"Who are you?"
"It's none of your business."
Rod raised his sword and replied leisurely. Hearing his answer, the man snorted coldly, apparently he was very dissatisfied with the arrogant young man, he coughed, and then the mercenaries quickly dispersed, and soon surrounded Rhodes and Anne
"I don't care who you are, boy."
The man said coldly.
"I'm giving you a chance now to let go of that thing so you still have a chance to get out of here alive. If you don't want to do that, then you'll be here forever. ”
In line with the man's words, the mercenaries also raised their weapons and pointed at the two of them.
"Poof."
The next thing they heard was a chuckle.
The corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, revealing a charming smile, even in the gloomy Hall of Mysteries where the light of magic flowed. The flickering light and shadow flashed on his face to give people a very strange beauty, and Rhodes didn't seem to look at everyone's eyes at all, he just smiled, looking the man in front of him up and down, with a rather contemptuous expression.
"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you're saying, your Nîmes are so bad I can't understand what you mean. If you can avoid such a savage expression, maybe I will still have a hard time understanding. ”
As a veteran player of the Dragon Soul Continent, Rhodes knows the customs of various places very well, he knows what people like in a certain place, and he naturally knows what they hate.
One of the things they hate most about the people of the Lelaikala region is that they are treated as barbarians, and the second thing they hate the most is that they are not fluent in the language. When people in the Lailaikala region speak Nîme, the accent is vague and difficult to understand. And they themselves are very taboo about this, it's like a person who stutters, and the more you laugh at him, the more he stutters, and the more he will stutter, and then he will be angry and beat you. The people of Lailaikala also hate being ridiculed for saying that their Nîmes are not good, because it makes them look not as good as they claim, but villagers who have come out of the mountains.
Rod's taunt was so flawed that he killed two birds with one stone, taking the two things that the people of Lelaikala hated the most at once. …,
Sure enough, hearing Rod's words, not only did the man look dissatisfied, but even the other mercenaries were a little more hostile in the eyes of Rod, but in Rod's opinion, these people did not pose any threat at all, and even in his eyes, he didn't think that these people were human, so what were they?
Enemies, XP.
Since it's something that will belong to you sooner or later, why care what its name is, who has any ideas? So Rod simply ignored them and directly mocked the war, so that it would be more convenient for everyone to kill faster, and you would also die faster, which would be good for everyone, wouldn't it?
After coming to this world, Rhodes killed a lot of people, but unexpectedly he felt that there was no obstacle to killing people, and he always watched the protagonist of the novel kill someone after crossing over on the Internet, or it was for the sake of death or victory, but Rod didn't have such thoughts at all. Maybe it's because the game in the Dragon Soul Continent is so real that he has become accustomed to this kind of killing, even if he really crosses into this world now, in the depths of Rhodes' heart, maybe he still sees this place as a game that strengthens and cracks the discordant version——— just adds screams, blood, and corpse special effects. In many novels, it is described that when the protagonist raises his weapon and faces his enemies, a thought will pass through his mind——— this person also has his family, his friends, his children, his wife. Then if you kill him, someone will cry for him········· Then began to wrestle.
But for Rod, he never had such an idea, unless it was a cutscene CG in the game, who would be interested in learning about the past of an NPC who was killed by himself?
If Rhodes is put back on Earth, maybe there will be a media based on this as a basis to publish a special report on "College students are addicted to online games to confuse reality and kill people without remorse, and the new generation of education once again highlights the lack of the system and urgently needs to reflect on reform", but unfortunately there is no if in this world, so this proposition can not be established.
But unfortunately, the man did not shout as Rod expected, "If you want to fight, then fight!" Then with a wave of his hand, the cannon fodder rushed forward to complete their mission, and Rhodes's experience would also be on the scene of ascension. Instead, he reached out and motioned for the mercenaries who were struggling to calm down because of Rod's words, and then began to look at Rhodes carefully.
At the beginning, the man was also very annoyed by Rod's words, but as the leader of a mercenary group, he was certainly not an idiot with a simple brain, so soon, the man discovered a very strange problem.
Where did these two people come in? Panzi knows the situation on his side very well, and it is absolutely impossible for these two people to rush to him after breaking through the seal. For this mission, he has made very careful arrangements, and has assigned many people in the rear to stabilize them, if they are attacked, his side will definitely be able to get the news. However, he didn't receive a warning until he came here, so it means that these two people didn't come all the way with him. However, this is not surprising, you must know that they had just broken through the constructed guardians guarding this place in a bit of embarrassment, and then hurried over without taking the slightest rest, how could these two people be faster than them······
So they came in through another channel?
This speculation was relatively reasonable, and after seeing the six gates of the Hall of Mysteries, the man felt that it should be correct. When he was searching here before, his subordinates had reported a few entrances to him, but those places were not safe enough for him, so in the end the man chose the most conservative plan. …,
If that's the case, then things are in trouble.
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but glance at Rod and Anne again, and the traces of the battle could be seen from their bodies, which showed that these two people were likely to kill all the way here, if this is the case, then the man will have to re-evaluate the strength of the two people in front of him. I brought more than 60 people with me, and almost half of them died before they came here. So how are they? Did they come all the way and die all the way, and only the two of them were left? Or was it just the two of them who came here to venture in the first place? The man felt different from the former, for the two men's expressions were relaxed, and they did not look at all as if they had lost their companions.
But if it's the latter, then the strength of these two people is too terrifying.
"I'm the head of the Diamond Mercenary Regiment, Carmen."
Thinking of this, the man opened his mouth first and introduced himself.
"The Diamond Mercenary Regiment of Lylekala? No wonder I always don't understand what you're saying. ”
Rod's taunt did not diminish with the other party's gesture.
"But frankly, the name is a bit too vulgar, no wonder you only have money left......"
This time in the face of Rod's taunts, Carmen clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to punch up and smash this beautiful little white face directly with a blue nose and swollen face, and see if he could laugh when the time came. But then he held back, the most important thing at the moment was the mission, for the mercenary, the task was more important than personal feelings, this is their work ethic.
"I'm Rhodes, the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment in Deep Rock City."
Rod also spoke at this time, and he raised his head and looked at Carmen with a sense of superiority that a rich man looks at a beggar.
"I hope you'll remember my name, don't forget, Mr. Ka Lamin."
"Poof."
Hearing this, Anne finally couldn't help laughing, she didn't know much about these verbal exchanges, but she could also hear that Rhodes had been laughing at each other, but compared with the "you damn bastard" and "see if I don't kick your eggs" that Anne was used to, Rhodes's taunts were obviously fresher.
And Anne's laughter also made the mercenaries more and more angry, and several people had already shaken their weapons in demonstration, looking at their commander eagerly, expecting him to give an order immediately, and then he could directly kill this arrogant little white face, and let him know how powerful they were!
"Mr. Rhodes."
Carmen decisively ignored Rod's provocation, and he felt angry now, but his inner reason warned him to be calm, because Rod's behavior was so abnormal, there were only two of them, and they were completely surrounded, but this young man seemed to have not seen the predicament in front of him at all, and he made provocative words again and again, as if he was afraid that he would not die fast enough. If this is his reaction alone, then it can also be considered whether there is something wrong with this young man, but the girl who follows this young man is also indifferent to the scene in front of him, which is very revealing.
Do they really have the strength, or are they just playing tricks?
Carmen decided not to dwell on this issue anymore and went straight to the center.
"We're here to complete a commission, a mission."
As he spoke, he pointed to the Orb of Mysteries in Anne's hand.
"It took us a lot of time to get here for this little thing. If you can, I hope you can pass this on to me, and I promise that our Diamond Mercenary Regiment will give me a very good reward. ”…,
Speaking of which, Carmen took out a money pouch and opened it to show Rod, even if the light was not so bright, Rod could easily see the gold coins and diamonds inside.
"If you can give us this little thing, then the money is yours."
Hearing Carmen's words, Rod smiled, shook his head slightly, and then placed his right hand on his waist—an action that immediately made everyone nervous.
"With such a small amount of money, you also want to buy the Orb of Mystery? Mr. Kaymen, are you taking me for an idiot? ”
Saying this, Rod shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry, this thing is mine, then I won't give it to anyone, if you want it, come and grab it."
As he spoke, Rod suddenly stretched out his hand and opened the space bag on his waist.
"Annie."
Hearing Rod's order, Anne immediately threw the Mystery Ball in her hand in the direction of the space bag.
"Catch them! Get the Orb of Mysteries! ”
Seeing that the negotiations broke down, Carmen finally couldn't hold back any longer, he drew his weapon, and then quickly gave the order.
And the mercenaries, who had already been holding their breath for a long time, were also shouting and waving their weapons at this moment, and rushed towards Rod and Lijie.
At the same time, the space bag in Rod's hand suddenly became larger, and then he completely swallowed the Mystery Ball into it.
The room, which had been glowing with magical light, suddenly plunged into darkness at the same time.
