"Hoo ............"

And only then did Rod breathe a sigh of relief and lie back down.

After chatting with the girl just now, Rhodes could already confirm that this was indeed the world realm of the Dragon Soul Continent. Moreover, this is not the era that he experienced before, but also the more distant past——— the twilight years, which is converted into game time, that is, the period when the Dragon Soul Continent game has just started the open beta.

How did you end up here?

Rhodes sighed, he shook his head, no longer thinking about these strange and mysterious things, no matter what, he was already here, it was already a fact. So what do you do next?

First, Rod decided to try what he could do at the moment. And he just thought about it, and soon, a clear and familiar system prompt appeared in front of him, which showed his current status and attributes:

Rod

Level 1

Race: Mixed race (??) ）

Talents: Unblocked

Race Rewards: Unblocked

Ethnicity Identity: Unblocked

Class: Summoning Swordsman (Hero Class)

Class Skill: Evokemon (Proficiency E)

Sword Skill Held: Moon Shadow Sword (Proficiency E) (Available Skill - Shattered Blade)

Part-time: Alchemist (Arcane Crafts Specialty)

Skill: Condense (Proficiency E)

This is a very normal, but also very abnormal attribute table, especially when he saw the first item, Rod almost screamed.

Hybrid? How can it be mixed-race?

The so-called hybridization on the Dragon Soul Continent does not refer to the intermarriage and hybridization between races similar to the earth, on the contrary, most of the people who generally have the attribute of mixed blood are produced by intermarriage between humans and races other than humans. But Rhodes is well aware that he is human, and even as a player character in the game, he has not chosen any other race. But why is there an extra half-blood on his attribute table now? And the question mark in parentheses is followed by a question mark, which means that the bloodline has not fully awakened, so the racial rewards and racial characteristics are also sealed. This meant that Rhodes had to understand for himself what kind of blood he had, and awaken the sleeping power in his veins before he could obtain it.

This can be a nuisance for Rhodes, as the usual race rewards are provided after the character is created. Like humans, the racial reward is a shorter time to learn skills, and there are different bonuses such as anti-poison, increased reputation, etc., depending on the race. But now, these rewards and traits are insulated from Rhodes.

But it is not without surprises, because in the swordsmanship and alchemy column, Rhodes found that in addition to the necessary skills of his own level, the dozen or so swordsmanship and alchemy skills he learned when he was a player were not forgotten, but quietly displayed below, but they are all dark, which means that with Rhode's current ability and level, he can't learn and use them, but this doesn't have to worry about Rhodes, as long as his strength improves, after reaching the conditions, then he can get the right to use these swordsmanship and skills again. Of course, the only fly in the ointment is that the proficiency of these swordsmanship and skills has also been reduced to the lowest E level, not the SS level.

However, Rhodes didn't take these little things to heart, because he valued these skills most not because of their proficiency, but because of their source, there are many swordsmanship that are quite difficult to learn, not only need to increase the level or attributes, but also to complete a series of tasks, or to improve his reputation, or just to find a hidden object by chance. These require a lot of money, time and even luck. In the game, it wasn't until Rhodes' last year in the Dragon Soul Continent that he completely built his role, and therefore had the certainty of challenging the Void Dragon.

Unfortunately, there were good and bad news, and the problem of swordsmanship was solved, but Rhodes soon found that it was not only experience, level, and proficiency that had been cleared. There is also the most important presence for summoning swordsmen——— summoning elves.

In the game Dragon Soul Continent, summoning swordsmen is a controversial profession, and at the beginning, it was launched as an official player-only class and attracted everyone's attention. But after really getting started, the summoning swordsman is called one of the most cheating professions by players because of its half-cut attributes that lead to the dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, as well as the complexity of the need to summon elves to cooperate with attacks, and the consumption of experience points in the process of upgrading. …,

Literally, there seems to be no difference between summoning a swordsman and a mage's summoning, but in fact there is a very different difference between the two, and the mage's summoning is to serve himself by consuming his own power, tearing through space, summoning creatures from sub-planes, and using the power of magic to forcibly restrain them. Summoning swordsmen, on the other hand, do not have the ability to tear through the dimensional plane, and all their summons come from the present world. One of these abilities is to summon the swordsman's unique "Soul Summoning", which can reawaken their souls from items with a long history, full of mystery and soul power, and reseal them through the contract mode.

Although it sounds good and powerful, but there are a lot of troubles, in fact, at the beginning many players were confused by this skill and chose to summon swordsmen, in their opinion, as long as they buy back some broken ancient items at a low price in the ruins or in the Chamber of Commerce, and then use the spirit summoning to call out the souls of those weapons to seal, and then they can get an artifact without much effort.

It's a pity that the dream is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, not to mention the ancient-level weapon wreckage can only activate its sleeping soul with high-level spirit summoning techniques, and as soul bodies, they have lost their material form, so their strength is much weaker than when they were original. Take the quasi-artifact "Dragon King's Wrath" that Rhodes used in the game, it was only after he reached the full level that he extracted the soul from the wreckage of a weapon, but at that time, the condensed weapon was not even more powerful than the same level weapon made by the forging master, and then Rhodes spent two full years running around the entire Dragon Soul Continent, and after going to the sky and entering the earth, he finally reactivated the soul of all the fragments on the weapon, and restored it to its original state, not to mention the time, The danger in the process alone is enough to discourage many people. What's more, elf weapons need to consume soul power to maintain during use, and the summoned elves also need to consume soul power, but the spiritual power reserved by the summoned swordsman itself is far less than that of the mage, so many summoned swordsmen would rather choose ordinary weapons in the end than use this kind of elf weapon that "looks beautiful", but in fact does not help much.

In addition, there are three sources of elves that summon swordsmen, one is to get the soul core condensed by the death of magical creatures to awaken, and make it their own summoned elves. However, this will vary depending on the owner's own attributes, as well as the influence of environmental factors. For example, if a summoned swordsman gets the Soul Core when he kills a fire serpent, but he awakens the soul in the snow or other environment, or when he is wearing dark equipment, then it is not certain what kind of monster will be summoned in the end. If it's a hydra with dark power, it's fine, but if it's an ordinary monster whose ability is weakened because of attribute restraint, then it's only going to cry.

The second way to obtain summoned elves is to defeat those inhuman creatures, and after meeting certain conditions, you can also sign a contract with them and seal them up to use as your own summoned elves. This is also a common way to summon swordsmen, but the flaw is that the minimon is too autonomous, and if it is in the game, it is possible to rebel against the orders of its summoner based on its own judgment. Of course, this won't be popular with anyone, after all, no one wants to help more and more with the things they summon.

As for the last method, it is to awaken the attribute adjustment talent after level 10, and by fusing several summoned elves to produce a higher level of elves, this method controls the uncertainty of the summoned elves themselves to a certain extent, as long as they are familiar with the characteristics of the summoned elves, race, and attributes, then most of the summoned elves will have a good idea of what kind of summoned elves they will become after they are fused. However, the flaw of this method is also pitiful——— that is, the level of the newly generated summoning elves is uncertain, and it is possible that two high-level summoning elves will be fused, resulting in a new summoning elf of level 1, and it may also be fused to create a summoned elf that is much higher than the level of the holder and cannot be used at all. If it's the latter, it's fine, as long as you work hard to improve your level, if it's the former, then you can delete the number.........,

The experience of summoning elves is deducted from the holder's body, which is also the main reason why summoning swordsmen is slower than other professions to upgrade, the same experience value, other professions only need to take care of themselves, but summoning swordsmen must be separated to their summoning elves to improve, and this degree is difficult to master, assigning experience to their own summoning elves, can ensure that its level is improved, and it will evolve after reaching a certain level, but as mentioned in the first point, elves will be affected by the environment at the time when they evolve, The willpower of the wielder and external influences change, because sometimes the summoned spirit that evolves is not necessarily the summoned spirit that the wielder wants.

And it is precisely because of the characteristics of this kind of "pit dad" that summons swordsmen, so that it is also on the official forum of the Dragon Soul Continent "Expected" to be ranked among the "top ten most pit dads professions", and some people have vividly given the summoning swordsman operators an evaluation, playing summoning swordsmen, or the kind of rookie who has never played the game at all, and has been deceived by the introduction and CG publicity. Or the kind of casual gamer who doesn't want to improve. It is those gamblers who are born to gamble on character and personality. And the last one is...... Rod.

Just from the fact that this game ID changed from a simple name to a symbol of the endorsement, you can see what it was like for Rhodes to win countless server firsts with his role as a swordsman, a profession that is recognized as a world-renowned cheater, and even conquered three new eras in a row.

The average player doesn't like this kind of randomness, which makes them feel like they are out of their hands, but Rhodes enjoys it, and it is precisely because of the unknown that it is challenging, which is why he chose to summon the swordsman class. In fact, in his long career in the game, he has encountered almost all the "pit daddy" performances that summon swordsmen, but Rhodes is happy to do it, because only conquering such difficulties will make him more satisfied.

But now, it took him seven full years to cultivate dozens of top-level summoning elves, all of which have been cleared, and the mysterious summoning circle on the back of his right hand still exists, but in it, Rhodes can no longer feel any trace of the elves. But it's no wonder that after thinking about it, my body is not the body in the game after all, and I can't force too much.

But......

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but move in his heart, and then he reached out and touched his chest pocket, and sure enough, he quickly touched a card.

It was a card with a white background, depicting a thorn-entangled, flawless white sword, carved with intricate and prosperous glyphs, and a pair of delicate wings in the gauntlet, which was pleasing to the eye just by looking at it, with four different markings at the four angles of the card, a white semicircle in the upper right corner, and a small X written in the upper left corner, and then two small numbers in the lower left and lower right corners - 3. Turning over the cards, a mysterious, elegant text slowly emerged on the back of the card.

[Eternal Sword Tenth Place: Star Marks, No Attributes, Can Blend ——— Dust of History Can't Hide Its Dazzling Glory]

Is it still there?

Looking at the card in his hand, Rhodes was slightly stunned, this is the exclusive equipment for summoning swordsmen, summoning cards. And he is still very familiar with this card, this is a rare card souvenir that he once gave himself when he participated in in-game activities, after he led the guild to win the first place in the whole server for two consecutive quarters, in order to recognize this extremely strong top player, the game company specially made such a card for him. Of course, there have been many similar cards around the sea for a long time, but for Rod, he doesn't have the leisure to waste money on these things that can only be seen but not used, so he only has this prize in his hand, of course, after Rod got it, he took it with him as a talisman, and it didn't take up much space anyway.

Originally, this was just an ordinary commemorative prize, except for the number of very ordinary commemorative prizes in the whole world, but at this moment, Rod saw that its surface was emitting a faint light, shining in his hands.

Want to give it a try?

Rod only hesitated for a second, and then, his right hand clenched the card, and then, the magic array attached to the back of Rode's right hand suddenly lit up, and a series of blue magic lines spread out from it, extending to every finger of his right hand, and then, the white card suddenly burst into dazzling white light, and then turned into a little light dust, completely disappeared into the air. …,

At this moment, a system prompt also appeared in front of Rod's eyes.

[Acquired 1/10 of the Eternal Deck, 10th Place of the Eternal Sword - Starmark]

"Hoo ........."

Looking at this system prompt, Rod sighed a little complicatedly, although he didn't know what Lu Dao was in the original world that was just an ordinary card thing to play the original function of a summoning card here, but for the current Rhodes, this is definitely the most useful help at present——— in the game, it is rare to be able to find +2 ability before level 15, and the "star mark" actually has the initial +3 attribute, which is enough to make the summoned swordsman who was originally in a semi-waste state compare with the genuine swordsman. Coupled with its fused nature, it means that as long as you find the right elf, you can transform it into an attribute weapon. Although it is a summoning card that requires the wielder to consume soul power before it can be used, it is somewhat inferior to normal weapons, but in terms of attack power alone, it is already a rare powerful piece of equipment at present.

It's just that it's really hard for Rod to get completely excited now, because for him, the situation he is involved in is too weird.

Is this the game? Or is it reality? If this is the reality, then where do you go from here?

"Knock knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Rod raised his head, just in time to see a middle-aged man push the door and walk in, he was wearing the adventurer's leather armor, his long bright red hair was combed back casually, and when he saw Rode, the man smiled slightly.

"Hello, sir, I'm the leader of the Star-Moon Mercenary Regiment, Carter."
