All the best. [].

Thanks to the druid who sacrificed his life for righteousness, Rod got everything done very satisfactorily. More than half of the stone tablets that the Orphinians had painstakingly earned had been completely wasted in the previous battles, and had no meaning. As for the remaining part, Rod didn't pay much attention to it. The manufacturing of the construction and refining is a very complicated process, and he has learned from Labis that not only the production process itself, but even the refining of those materials is very unique, and it is not something that can be done by digging anywhere and coming back. In this way, Rhodes was much more relieved, and he no longer considered exterminating this group of Orphinians.

Now that it has been decided to let this group of people live to see the sun tomorrow, then Rhodes no longer thinks about how to destroy the group, and he is now holding it with both hands, and both hands must be hard. He wants the manufacturing skills of the construction refining, and he also wants the reward for this escort mission, and no Rhodes plans to let it go now.

Of course, thinking so in his heart, Rod apologized very sincerely to the old man on the surface, because of his own command error, so it became their loss. As the head of a group, of course he is willing to take full responsibility, and this kind of words are not stressful for Rod. This kind of thing Rhodes has already practiced in the game, and it is naturally very smooth to say it at this moment.

On the contrary, the old scholar was quite embarrassed by Rod's speech, if he was an ordinary person, I am afraid that it would have passed. But this group of Orphineans are also scholars, although what they do is similar to what those grave-digging guys do on the surface, but as Kong Yiji said, "Can the things of scholars be called stealing?" In the same way, the self-esteem of this group of "high-level intellectuals" does not allow them to take advantage of this small advantage. Not to mention that Rhodes was right in command at the time, but they were too slow to react. Originally, if Rhodes had been pulling and pulling for a long time like those ordinary mercenary captains and then blaming the matter on these scholars, they might not have been convinced. But now that this young man is so sincere and very decisive in taking all the responsibility on himself, it is naturally difficult for the Orphineans here to say anything. And since the other party has given an attitude, it is too sorry for his face to chase and fight fiercely, so the old scholar also took the responsibility to comfort Rhodes is that the reaction of his side is too slow and he was not able to dodge in time, and Mr. Rhodes does not have to blame himself so much. Of course, the old scholar still gritted his teeth and said that although they encountered an accident after the most reluctant, the mercenaries still kept themselves and the others, and the mission was not a failure......········· Anyway, the funds for the activities of this group of scholars are all funded by the state, and they don't pay half a cent themselves, so of course they don't mind coming to save their face.

Of course, the old scholar is very generous on the surface, but deep down he is crying to death. Originally, according to their research, they found that the ruins contained remnants of an ancient race, and may even have a record of powerful weapons and equipment. In fact, it is similar to what they imagined, according to the ancient records that have been translated so far, it does record the manufacturing method of some kind of ancient equipment. Originally, the old scholar planned to take these things out of the city to sort them out, but in the previous battle, most of the information was damaged, and the remaining part was barely useful, but according to the experience of the old scholar, their final fate is likely to be to enter the Kingdom Museum of Orphenia to show the proof of their country's exploration and excavation of archaeology.........

After that, everyone's journey went very well, and the druids didn't come to make trouble again.

Maybe it was because Rod was afraid of killing them before, and this group of guys who only dared to run naked in the woods finally never dared to trouble Rhodes and the others again, which also allowed Rhodes and the others to return to Deep Rock City smoothly. ..., but as for the identity of this group of druids, Rhodes also had a little bit of a clue after talking to the idiot before, and it was obvious that they were going for Labis. In the druid's code, the warbler represents important and special prey. Looking back at the history of the druids, the only one who can be so recognized by them is Bell Holmes.

This is actually a bit strange to say, as alchemy elves, the Belchemus clan is actually not as hostile as the dark elves on the continent. Even the original elf clan is only difficult to explain to these alchemy elves at most, not like the hatred of the dark elves. Because the Belchems themselves are actually harmless to humans and animals - even in their darkest period, their human research has always followed the "voluntary principle", and they did not say that they would force some people back because they did not have enough tests. In addition, the Belchems clan is generally homely, and most of the time the door is not out of the door, and it is also difficult to have any friction with other races, so on the mainland, the popularity of the Belchems clan is not too bad no matter which side it is.

However, there has always been a group of radicals among the druids who are dissatisfied with the Berchems, believing that the existence of alchemical spirits is artificially distorted and defiled by nature, and must be destroyed. This group of druids is not very numerous, but it is by no means small. But it seems that the whole thing is indeed a bit ridiculous——— the elves themselves don't have any special thoughts about this split race, but the druids who have been inseparable for eight lifetimes are indignant here, but there is quite a bit of the emperor who is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry.

The elves have nothing to say about these druids, and although both are a race that lives in the forest, the two have absolutely different philosophies. The elves are of course protective of nature, but they also recognize a certain degree of utilization, just like some hunters in the mountains, they will bring their hounds to hunt. In the elf's opinion, as long as the relationship between the two parties is harmonious, then there is no problem. But for the druids, even if the relationship between the hunter and the hound is harmonious, they can't bear it, because it is a violation of the dignity of living beings, dogs are human companions, since you treat them as partners, then you should not force them to risk their lives for your survival! It's about living in harmony! And what is called harmonious coexistence? In the Druid's view, the hunter must eat, live and work with the hounds, preferably sleep together at night, and ensure that the hounds can eat and drink enough even if their relatives starve to death, which is the real "natural harmony", well, this is what they want to see.

The so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, and the party does not treat each other very well, and the concept of the elves is to insist on themselves, but not to force others, at most only to dissuade and guide. But the druids expect all humans in the world to live with animals and return to nature, if you don't? Then you are the sin of nature, and you deserve to be killed. So this group of druids didn't have a burden to attack the others, because for them, it was punishing sin and promoting good.

It is precisely because of this intricate relationship between the two sides that this problem has become very tricky. The elves do not intend to clash head-on because of their introverted culture, but the druids believe that these "people of the forest" have betrayed the way of nature, so they want to make an example of the monkeys, and let the lessons of blood return the elves to the "right" path.

And the Belchems family is the "chicken".

Originally, Rhodes planned to wipe out this group of druids, but until they entered Deep Rock City, they didn't see the shadow of this group of druids again, which made Rod have no choice but to give up. However, he was not very worried about Labis's safety, as the druids hated the city so much that they would not come to this place even if they were killed. So as long as Labis doesn't go far away, those druids can't do anything to scoop her. ..., and for Rod, since the druids didn't have the stupid choice to kill themselves, he had to start focusing on another thing——— and that was to improve his equipment.

As mentioned before, most of the equipment that Rhodes got when he farmed the dungeon was distributed to the other mercenaries, but he had nothing left behind. Originally, there were a few pieces of equipment used to assist, but now they have been thrown aside by Rhodes, because their attributes are completely unsuitable for Rhodes' use, and the dual talent specialization makes Rhodes now summon an elf at will, and his attributes are much stronger than those of equipping these magic props.

This is also the reason why Rod has no equipment other than that bright red cry all over his body.

If he could, Rhodes could even throw away Scarlet Cry, and he still had a Holy Sword card in his hand anyway, wouldn't he?

In the past, this was not a problem for Rod, but now, with the Zero build, it is a problem for Rod.

The Zero Construct can activate the three suit attributes and the aura attribute, which are very important for Rod, plus the Shenxia Festival is about to start, if the Zero Construct can be used, then it will naturally be a big boost to Rod's strength. Not only that, but in the future, you can also bring others to brush tasks with half the effort.

But the problem now is that ——— equipment is hard to find.

Low-level equipment is useless, but with Rhode's current level, the surrounding equipment is not easy to brush - most of the dungeon equipment in the area centered on Deep Stone City is in the range of level ten to twenty, and it is useless for Rhodes, who is now level twenty-three. And those high-level dungeons are all in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is completely impossible not to think about the month back, but the Midsummer Festival is just around the corner, where does Rhodes have the leisure time to go all the way to adventure?

Of course, Rhodes also knew about a few high-level dungeons hidden inside Deep Rock City, but they were all above level forty, and if he was not careful, he would easily be invited to drink tea with the Grand Duke of Hell, with Rhodes' current strength............ If you go, you can only look for death.

But Rhodes didn't worry too much about this problem, he led the mercenaries back to the mercenary association, and returned to the stronghold after handing over the task and scooping the reward. It took about ten days for Rhodes to go to Unicorn Peak this time, and I don't know how Marlene's training was during this time.

However, after entering the stronghold, Rhodes immediately discovered something strange.
