Chapter 198: The Monster's Lair
Monster Lair.
Tearing through the space and appearing through the ectopian passage where the monsters gathered here. To put it bluntly, it is essentially the same as Rhodes using the Illusory Realm Passage to summon the spirits of the Seven Illusory Realms. It's just that unlike the elves summoned through the Illusion Key, these monsters are not so obedient. If Rhodes wasn't the heir to the Dragon Soul Protection, it would be very difficult to get their help. Because for monsters, they only care if their habitat is guaranteed. The Dragon Soul Inheritors, on the other hand, can obtain their assistance by assuring the Monster Lords that their rights are inviolable. But if it's not the inheritor of the dragon soul, it will take a lot of effort to get the help of these monster races, whether it is the good camp or the evil camp, the monsters themselves do not like to come into contact with humans. Even if they are lords of a land or something, they don't care about them. If the territory protected by the entire Dragon Soul Continent is compared to an apartment, and the Dragon Soul inheritor is the apartment administrator, then these monster lords are just the occupants of it. If the caretaker comes to the door to collect rent and asks them for help, then the monster lord will naturally be obedient. But if you ask for it from another resident, that's a different story. In their eyes, whether you are a king, a lord, or a general, or some mess, you are just like them are the "residents" of this apartment, and it is natural for the caretaker to collect the rent, why do you ask us to work for you when you can't even clean up your own house?
Of course, in the game, it is not without players who work hard to finally get recognized by the monster lord, but after all, it is a minority of the few, especially here in the country of light, because of the human supremacy of the Council of Light, the monster lair here has long made up its mind not to get along with human beings. It's even harder for players to gain their trust.
In each territory, it is normal to have as little as one, and as many as two or three monster nests. And now Rhodes has seven monster nests in his hands at once, although this means that the strength of his subordinates can be strengthened to a certain extent, but in turn, it also makes Rhodes feel a little headache. After all, these race players have not been in contact with it less, so let's put the goblins aside and not mention it. The rest of the unicorns, lust demons, phantoms, naga, centaurs, and gas elementals, none of which are fuel-efficient lamps. If you really want to get them together, I'm afraid that if you don't speculate, you will immediately fight and kill you. Of course, there is a precedent for having its own Holy Sword decks as a precedent, since they can be here at the same time. You should be able to live in peace......... But who's for sure?
Leaving things like re-establishing a financial and political system to Marlene is because Rod can't do it himself, although this doesn't help him maintain his majesty, but Rod has never hidden his problems in this regard, in fact, whether it is politics or economics, he is not very knowledgeable, politics is a little better, the so-called has never eaten pork and seen pigs run. In addition, in the era of Rhodes's information explosion, in addition to the knowledge in books and the mouth cannon information of the Politburo on the Internet. Coupled with the player's familiarity with the temperament and historical trends of the characters in the game, Rhodes can more or less come up with some tricks. But like finance, which is highly professional, in the game is completely set by the system, players only need to worry about what they spend money to buy and sell, as for whether it will cause inflation or deflation, who cares......... Of course, player teams and guilds will also use artificial price increases or artificial price reductions and other means. However, these are all the lowest, and they only have the interests of their own guild in their eyes, as long as they can make their team guild make money, it is fine.
It's also a loss that it's a game.,If it's in reality.,Just tossing and turning all day long, I don't know what the road will look like.........
Rhodes is also self-aware of this.
Leadership. You can't do it, I can't do it, professional problems, please leave it to the eldest ladies.
Therefore, in this regard, Rod never seemed to be very knowledgeable, most of the time he just asked what kind of effect he hoped to achieve, and then let Marlene and others play themselves. Just like the refugee problem in the Land of Atonement before, Rhodes just gave a goal of "so that they can have a job and be able to live a normal life without chaos", but Marlene and Ann studied it for a long time, and after discussing it with the canary, it was completely solved.
And now that Marlene is going to solve the problem of technology, then the leadership problem will naturally be solved by Rhodes.
However, this is not too difficult for Rod, after all, what players are best at is dealing with various forces, so this is also Rod's job.
However, of course, Rhodes did not plan to run all the monster nests, but fortunately, these seven monster nests were very far apart from each other, and they couldn't fight for at least a while. So Rhodes didn't have to worry about whether two neighboring monster nests would come together and fight. But the unfortunate thing is that if Rhodes wants to run all these seven monster nests, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it in three or five or seven days.
Fortunately, Rhodes is not fighting alone, after obtaining the Fantasy Magic Stone, Rhodes is equivalent to obtaining infinite soul power, so it is not difficult to summon his elves to negotiate with these monster lords on his behalf, anyway, as long as they play their own flags, those monster lords dare not do anything to them.
As an angel of war, Celia was sent by Rhodes to negotiate with the unicorn, and the unicorn and the angel of war, who are gentle and kind by nature, should be able to talk. Greyhill and Mardaras were sent by Rhodes to communicate with centaurs, the White Elf royal family is a natural king of nature, as long as these two loli come forward, there should be no problem on the centaur side of the forest dwellers. As for the Demon Rod, it was handed over to Celestina, as a high-level demon, she must have her own unique means of controlling the devil, which does not need to worry about Rod. As for the Naga clan entrenched in the sea, Rhodes sent the little mermaid to spread the word, although in terms of species level, the mermaid of the daughter of the sea is definitely higher than the Naga level. However, the little mermaid who has been following Rhodes does not have too strong negotiation skills, so Rod just wrote a letter for her to pass it on and asked her to bring back the other party's message. Although the little mermaid is a little naïve, she is not stupid, and as a summoned elf, she will not die, plus she still has to rely on the inheritor of the dragon soul, presumably the Naga clan will not dare to do anything to her even if they are tyrannical.
In this way, what Rhodes has to face is the remaining three monster nests of [Little Goblin Lair], [Phantom Garden] and [Air Elemental Sea].
The goblins are okay to say, they actually have a group of elves condensed by magic, peaceful in nature, a little naughty but also easy to talk, Rod uses his identity to communicate with each other, it is estimated that there will be no problem, and they will agree. However, the [Phantom Garden] and the [Sea of Qi Elements] are difficult to say. [Phantom Garden] is a gathering place for souls in the realm of death, originally according to the nature, this time should have allowed Heros to appear, but considering Heros's strange personality, Rod felt that the possibility of letting her go to the message was not as good as the possibility of her going crazy and completely demolishing the entire [Phantom Garden]. In the end, Rod decided not to be afraid of 10,000 just in case, and the probability of this in case is much higher than 10,000, it is better to go out by himself, he has also dealt with undead creatures in the first place, there should be no problem.
On the contrary, it was the [Sea of Air Elementals] that gave Rhodes the most headaches, the [Sea of Air Elements], as its name suggests, is where the air elemental elves of the four major elements live, and judging from Rod's memory, the elemental elves who can live in the [Sea of Air Elements] can only be a ——— Sky Whale.
That can be said to be the real sky overlord, a sky whale is more than 100 meters long, they swim in the sea of white clouds formed by the condensation of the air element, usually not known at all, and ordinary people do not see their existence at all. But they do exist, and they are very powerful. The attributes of the air elemental make them immune to all physical damage, and as for the offense, you only have to think about what would happen to a huge whale 100 meters long if it slapped its tail on the ground, then you can understand how strong it is. Not only that, the Sky Whale is also able to manipulate the storm freely, and the rough skin and thick blood bar are basically endless, and once a team of players hit the idea on the Sky Whale, and as a result, it actually wore out less than one-fifth of its blood for a whole afternoon. Such a thing, coupled with the fact that the entire sky is its territory, and can cause storms and thunder, can basically be regarded as the most troublesome species. Although most elemental creatures are simple and have no malicious intent——— they are very dangerous for some huge creatures, even if they have no malicious intent. If the location of these sky whales happens to be a traffic artery or a future population area, Rhodes will have to persuade them to find a place to move. Otherwise, if the Sky Whale rolls over or accidentally flicks its tail or something, then the whole town will be razed to the ground in a hurricane.
What's more, the Sky Whale is very simple, although it is said that using this characteristic, as long as you can gain its approval, it will be the most loyal friend, but on the other hand, if you have a bad relationship with it, then you will basically be regarded as an eternal enemy.
If he could, Rhodes really didn't want to deal with such a simple and troublesome creature......... (To be continued......)
