[Successful Trial, Obtain the Guardian Sacred Emblem - Regain the Lost Glory and Regain the Glory of the Past]

This line of system prompts is very simple and easy to understand, but it is a little strange when it appears in front of Rod's eyes at this moment.

Of course, Rhodes knew what his glory was, especially considering the past that came from his card Holy Sword, the most influential summoning swordsman, the most powerful guild leader, who stood out from tens of thousands of players and finally won the Dragon Soul Continent Duel Championship. The task now seems to be to do it all over again, and it seems that it is as simple as that.

This is strange though, because this is not the world of gaming, there are no players, no game companies, and no global PVP dueling league. It's like a person traveling to the Tang Dynasty and then receiving a task for him to win the F1 championship——— at that time there was no such thing......

And Rhodes also saw the Guardian Sacred Tattoo he had obtained. Rhodes is no stranger to this thing, many professions in the game have similar holy tattoos in the late stage, mages have spell rings, swordsmen have brave marks, knights have will rulings, spirits have sacred hearts, and even thieves and rangers have corresponding spell tattoos, of course, in the game this is a product they get after passing the test. The summoned swordsman also has his own spell tattoo, but it is not a guardian holy emblem, but a soul contract.

Two intricate, ornate patterns appeared on his arm like tattoos, one silver-white and the other dark, until they reached the elbow before disappearing. The pattern in front of him was linked to the summoning circle on his hands, and when Rod turned his mind, the pattern quickly disappeared into his skin and disappeared.

[Guardian Emblem (Glory Recovered)

Heart of Honor: Reduces the cost of all summoned spirits by one-third, and increases the maintenance time by one-third (Glory is my life)]

Get!

It was only then that Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, the holy sword in his hand quickly disappeared and was sealed back into a card. At this moment, his left hand was already extremely pale, almost bloodless, and the bloody wound on his finger had become more and more bloody at this moment. The Bloody Weeping Blade is indeed a good weapon, and its power when it draws enough blood is indeed satisfying——— even more satisfying if the blood it draws is not its own.

"Mr. Rhodes!"

With the end of the trial, the barrier that originally blocked the surrounding area also disappeared, and Marlene, who had been waiting anxiously in the rear, also hurriedly ran over, looking at the tragic situation of the blurred flesh and blood on Rod's left palm, the girl's face couldn't help but change greatly.

"You're hurt?!"

"It's just a small injury."

Rod shook his head, and then he tried to stand up, but although Rod was still conscious, the sequelae of massive blood loss still made him dizzy as he got up, and his body staggered and almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, Marlene on the side was quick and helped him.

"Since you're injured, you should have a good rest......... There should be no enemies nearby. ”

"I guess there isn't."

"Then you take a rest first, and then it's not too late for us to set off again."

In the face of Marlene's insistence, Rhodes didn't say anything more, not only did he lose too much blood, but the excessive consumption of soul power also made him a little unbearable, and it was indeed not the best strategy to reluctantly set off at this time, so in the end, he sat down again against the stone pillar with Marlene's support and recovered his strength.

However, while Rhodes was busy resting, the mage girl did not rest, she took out several delicate crystals from her arms, ran back and forth, placed them beside Rhodes, and then chanted a spell in a low voice, and soon, a translucent polygonal shield appeared, enveloping the two of them. …,

"It's a mid-level protection spell."

Feeling Rod's gaze, Marlene lowered her head and introduced.

"It can be very good to recover from a person's injuries and the amount of strength that I, I think...... You've been through so much, you should take a good break, especially now. Don't worry about someone attacking, this is a treasure of the Shania family, and it can't be broken by anyone, so now you can rest assured. ”

After saying the most, Marlene's tone couldn't help but carry some angry elements, from departure to arrival at the Rock of Sighs, it took them about two days, and in the past two days, Rod's spirit has been in a state of high tension, any slightest wind and grass around, he will react immediately, and Rhodes also asked Marlene to check the direction and location of the group of spies from time to time to avoid accidents. To tell the truth, Marlene was so tired from all these things that she felt like the cozy and soft bed she had in the Golden City house when she fell to the ground at night, and even felt that the earth was full of cold dew, uneven stones, and the smell of wild grass was comparable to the comfortable and soft bed in her home in the Golden City, and she really wanted to lie down here and never get up again. But this is still a small drop in the bucket compared to Rhodes.

On the surface, Rhodes has everything in his own hands, and even if there is a problem after the worst, he can easily solve it. But Marlene is well aware of how much Rhodes has paid behind this.

In all fairness, Marlene felt like Rhodes, who was known as "the pride of the Shania family since she was a child", "the premier genius of the Academy", and "the elf and darling of spells". In the eyes of others, she always knows what spells she can use as soon as she learns, and her understanding of soul power is far deeper than that of others. But they didn't see what Shania was doing behind her back, and while the other children were playing outside in the garden, she sat in a room full of books, flipping through the old books that were difficult to understand. While the ladies of the other families were all around the banquet, she was alone in the cold and gloomy basement, practicing spells over and over again. Even when those children fell into a happy sleep and were immersed in sweet dreams, she had to practice aristocratic etiquette over and over again in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling mirror after a busy day. Even now, when other noble children are riding horses and playing in their own horse farms, she is carrying out dangerous cultivation in this deep mountain and old forest.

Many people envy her, the genius of magic, the darling of the family, and she has accepted the envy of others as a matter of course, she is qualified to be proud——— she is talented, she is capable, and she is willing to work hard. Then you are naturally qualified to be so proud, so confident, and to receive these praises and envy.

On the other hand, Marlene will never allow those who are inferior to herself to look down on herself, in her opinion, if she works so hard, and is still looked down upon by those guys who only know how to spend all day and drink all day long, it will be a great shame.

Because of this, Marlene can understand Rod's feelings, so even if Lot scolds herself angrily, she can only accept it but can't refute it. Because the man in front of him is smarter, more talented, and harder than himself. If she doesn't allow others to trample on her efforts, then she naturally doesn't like to trample on others' efforts.

Of course, Rod doesn't know what Marlene is thinking, and he doesn't like to touch women's thoughts, he used to do this when Rod was very stupid and naïve, and when his ex-girlfriend broke up with him, he used to try to figure out what the other party thought, was it a change of heart? Or is there another man? Or is there simply no fit between them? And until the last day, Rod got a crying and laughing truth——— the reason why his girlfriend broke up with him was because when the two of them went out together, Rod would always attract the attention of others more than herself, which made her feel a lot of pressure, and for a modern independent woman, her boyfriend is definitely not something to envy if she is more beautiful than herself.........

Since then, Rod has never done such an idle thing again. Since Marlene had made a guarantee, and according to Rod's vision, it could be seen that this was indeed a fairly strong protective array, so Rhodes did not refuse, and soon leaned on the stone pillar and began to close his eyes and rest.

Although the cold, hard column made him uncomfortable, it didn't matter.

"That...... Mr. Rhodes? ”

Rod opened his eyes and looked at Marlene next to him, only to see that the girl was spreading her cloak on the ground at the moment, and then raised her head and looked at him hesitantly, and sensing Rod's gaze, Marlene bit her lip.

That's right, it's just my reward for him, because I made a mistake that's why he got hurt, as a member of the Shania family, it's impossible for me not to make amends, it's my pride, well, yes, that's it!

“……… If you can...... You can lie here......"

As she spoke, Marlene patted her thigh lightly, her face almost dripping blood.

"I, I think you should be better rested this way, better than leaning against that cold stone pillar. And...... Your hand is injured, I didn't help you in the battle, at least let me see, although I'm not as good at healing spells as Lijie, but as a mage, I still know some basic knowledge......"

"Is that okay?"

Rod didn't respond immediately, but glanced at Marlene curiously, and then asked. Hearing his inquiry, Marlene immediately reflexively raised her head and made a firm appearance of "seeing death as home".

"When, of course there is no problem! Such a trivial matter is nothing at all! ”

"Well, you're welcome."

Before Marlene could say anything more, Rhodes had already fallen headfirst on her lap and closed his eyes. In the face of Rod's sudden action, Marlene stiffened all over her body, and there was no way to make any movement for a while. And when she finally reacted, Rhodes was already asleep.

"It's rude!"

Looking hatefully at the young man lying on his lap and wandering out of the world, Marlene gritted her teeth and complained in a low voice. But soon, she sighed, then shook her head, and carefully picked up Rod's left hand.

Under the light of the magic light, the flesh and blood blurred and pale palm made Marlene gasp when she looked at it, except for the thumb, Rod's four finger joints were all flesh and skin at the moment, and the blood was unbearable to witness.

"It's so serious.........

Although he had known that Lu Daorod's injury was not clear, after seeing his injury clearly, Marlene couldn't help but tremble a little. She carefully took out her handkerchief and wiped the blood on her palms lightly, but Marlene's face was unbearable at the moment.

As a mage, Marlene did learn some first-aid spells, but these spells were rarely useful, mages were rarely injured, and when they were injured, they were actually not far from death......... At least for the most part.

But now, looking at her clumsy bandage, Marlene couldn't wait to scold herself. She had never wished she was such an omnipotent genius that she could be dressed once and learn it thoroughly, looking at Rod's fingers now, she wrapped them like carrots.

If Lijie is here.........

Marlene was stunned.

I don't know what Lu Dao is for, when I thought of Lijie's name just now, a trace of boredom appeared in the girl's heart, what is going on? Lijie is her best friend, and she is also a spirit master, if she is here, she can naturally treat Rod's injuries better, as her good friend, it is normal to think so. But I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and when she thinks of asking Lijie to treat Rod's injury, Marlene's heart is a little unhappy......... But even the girl herself doesn't know the reason for the road.

Is it because of the fatigue of the past few days, which makes me too tired?

Frowning, she thought carefully for a moment, and finally, Marlene, who didn't get any answer, shook her head, put this thought behind her, and began to concentrate on continuing to bandage Rod's wounds.

There was silence in the ruins of Noda, except for the glow of magic swaying back and forth.........
