Chapter Fifty-Six: Unlucky Barney
Rhodes stood up.
In front of him, the necromancer, who had been showing off his might just a moment, had now become (or turned back into) a cold corpse.
But this did not make Rhodes happy, and he looked at his left hand with a gloomy face.
Although the angel's wings neutralized most of the negative energy attacks, the level gap between the two sides was too large for the necromancer's attacks to be completely blocked. At this moment, Rod's left hand up to his elbow was an iron blue, and a cold chill spread in it, making the entire palm unconsciously begin to tremble slightly.
If it weren't for Rod's physique surpassing ordinary people, then this arm would definitely be useless.
"Hoo ........."
Rod sighed, but then he focused his attention on the ring on his finger, where the milky white gem was now black and shiny, and if you looked closely, you could even see the darkness wrapped in it, as if it had a conscious rotation, movement.
Soul bondage succeeded.
Although the process was somewhat unexpected, it was finally done, but .........
Thinking of this, Rhodes was angry, originally he was still very confident when he chose this task. Because the reason why Pavel Cemetery is ranked as a four-star mission is not because of how strong the boss is, but because the restraint of the undead on the living is very problematic, before the invasion of the Night Kingdom, the people under the dragon soul of light have quite limited experience in how to deal with the undead, plus the aborigines are not players after all, and they can die and come back again, so the level of the task hooked with the undead in the mercenary association is generally relatively high. But in Rod's opinion, with Lijie's help, positive energy has a strong restraint on the undead, and with the addition of Marlene, the "daughter", as long as the command is right, a victory is still secure. And the previous victories along the way also illustrate this, the advantage of the undead is obvious when facing the hand-to-hand class, but it can be tragic when facing the spell class. Originally, according to this trend, it was only a matter of time before the sweep was made, but I didn't expect it.........
Rhodes shook his head, put away the Soul Binding Stone, and turned and walked back.
By the time Rod walked back to the crowd, the scene had become a bit chaotic.
Lijie was treating Shanna's wounds, which had fallen to the ground, while the idiot who had caused trouble just now was watching intently. Old Walker went to clean up the battlefield, while Marlene stood by coldly, staring at each other with disdain. And the rest of the Red Eagle Mercenary Regiment didn't look very good at the moment, they just gathered around Shanna, worried about their leader's injury.
"I'm sorry, Commander, I'm sorry, Commander, I didn't mean to, I didn't ......"
Barney knelt beside Shanna, his face pale, and he could already feel the gaze of everyone around him, which was cold, even a little angry. This was something Barney had never done before, and it made him feel very frightened and aggrieved. Obviously, what he saw was that the regiment commander and they were in a bitter battle, but the cunning nobleman was hiding next to him and didn't do anything, so he wanted to go up to help, why did these people embarrass themselves? Didn't they see how critical the situation was at that time?
Just as Barney was flustered, footsteps came from behind him, and Barney turned his head to see that the "culprit" was walking unhurriedly.
This made the young man's heart even more angry, our regiment commander was injured, you still don't care at all, sure enough, the nobles are a group of cold-blooded guys!
Thinking of this, Barney immediately jumped to his feet, stretched out his finger and scolded Rod.
"It's all you, if it's not you..............."
Barney didn't finish his words, because at this moment, a fist appeared in front of his eyes. β¦,
"Woo !!"
Rod mercilessly punched the boy in the face, and Barney screamed and rolled to the ground, he looked up and looked at the man standing in front of him with indignation, not even noticing that his nose had been knocked down and bleeding from his nose.
"Why don't you obey my orders?"
Rod's voice was calm, but everyone, including Lijie, who was treating Shanna's wounds, was stunned at the moment.
There was only one reason, and Rod smiled.
As long as anyone who has been in contact with Rhodes knows that although this man is very beautiful, he has always been very serious and has never smiled in front of them. This also made many people feel a little pity, even old Walker once joked that if he smiled often, maybe he could charm more people.
But now, Rod was really smiling, and very charming, but everyone felt a chill run down his spine.
"Answer me."
Rod moved his wrist and walked up to Barney with a smile on his face, then he lifted his left foot and stomped the young swordsman's chest, making him lie back on the ground.
"!!Uhh
"I remember before we started fighting, it was made very clear that we were responsible for pestering the necromancer, and no one was allowed to act without my orders......... Are you sick in the head? Or is there a problem with the ears? β
ββ¦β¦β¦ Bah. β
Although Barney also felt that he was trembling when he saw Rod's smile, as if he was bound by a huge python, but he did not choose to surrender, but spat viciously.
"Don't think I didn't see it, you just hid next to you and let our people go up and die! A guy like you, how could I follow your orders! Do you dare to say that you didn't mean to? I think everybody saw that, right, Henry?! β
The Henry in Barney's mouth is another swordsman who cooperated with Shanna to attack the necromancer, originally Barney thought that the other party would definitely come out to help him speak, but he didn't expect that when he turned his head to look, the other party directly tilted his head and didn't look at him.
In fact, Henry was quite unhappy with the kid's sudden incoming. You have to know that although they looked embarrassed at that time, they were mainly adapting to the method that Rhodes said, how to avoid the necromancer's spell casting corner, and let him not lock himself for an attack. These are all very useful tips and pointers for mercenaries. And just as they were getting better, the damn boy screwed up!
It's as if two people were practicing tango, it took so long to finally master the rhythm and pace, and just as they were about to officially enter the game, a drunk suddenly bumped into him and destroyed everything.
If this feeling changes, anyone will definitely feel unhappy.
However, for the sake of Barney's face as his teammate, Henry also endured it and didn't say anything more, but judging by his attitude, he obviously didn't mind letting Rod take this bad breath for himself.
"Henry, Henry........."
Taking in the expressions of his companions, Barney gritted his teeth, he didn't think that the reason why his companions didn't open their mouths was because they were dissatisfied with him, yes, they must be afraid of this young little nobleman! That's why I don't want to speak out, but I'm different from them! I will never give in to power, and I will never give up.
"Hmph, whatever you say, little white face, I will never !! ahh
Before Barney could finish his sentence, a shining blade pierced his palm, and the sudden pain forced the boy to swallow his speech back, replaced by a hoarse scream. But before he could finish his call, Rod drew his sword and kicked Barney in the waist, and the poor boy was kicked away, rolled on the ground, and then passed out of the way, unresponsive. β¦,
Hearing Barney's screams, Marlene shuddered. She naturally remembered what Rhodes had said when she came to the door before. It's ridiculous that she didn't take Rod in her eyes at that time, but fortunately, after that duel, Marlene had no doubts about Rode's strength and concentrated on doing what he said. If I hadn't taken the right attitude at that time, I'm afraid that the person who was lying there screaming would be me now.
Thinking back to that competition, Marlene can be sure that there is absolutely no problem that Rod can't get started.
After doing all this, Rod just clapped his hands, completely ignoring the surprised or frightened gazes of everyone around him, retracted his smile, and regained his usual cold and serious face.
"Clean up the battlefield."
This time, Rhodes can be said to have gained a lot, the necromancer has been operating in the Pavel Cemetery for so many years, and naturally there are a lot of continues, and the magic crystal alone is full of bags, not to mention all kinds of gems and plants. And Rod finally got what he wanted.
Bending down to take out the dusty and dusty holy book from the wooden box, Rhodes nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned around and beckoned to Lijie.
"Mr. Rhodes, what's the matter?"
Seeing Rod's gesture, Lijie hurriedly ran over, but her expression was still a little complicated. Originally, Lijie also planned to help Barney heal his wounds, but Rod's "leave him alone" could only make her awkwardly stay away from the other party. To be sure, Lijie is also very unhappy with Barney's actions, but as a spirit master, she can't afford to ignore the lives of others because of her personal preferences.
"I'll leave this to you."
"It's ........."
Li Jie curiously took the holy book handed by Rod, and after flipping through a few pages, she immediately showed a surprised expression.
"This is the sacred book?"
"That's right."
Rod patted the girl on the shoulder.
"With your ability, I believe there should be no problem in learning the above spiritual arts, come on."
"Of course, I will work hard, thank you, sir!"
Lijie smiled excitedly as she held the holy book in her arms, and of course she knew the value of this holy book. In the Church, only those who are chosen are eligible to learn the higher levels of spiritual arts, and the other spiritual masters are only able to learn the most basic spiritual arts, which shows how precious a holy book of higher spiritual arts is. Lijie was sure that as long as she could learn half of the above, then her strength would be further improved.
At this moment, Marlene also came to the side of the two, but her expression was obviously a little painful compared to the excited Lijieβββ because just now, Rhodes gave Marlene a death order, asking her to be responsible for cleaning up the corpse of the necromancer. It was a tough test for Marlene, who had never done anything like that when she was so old. Although Marlene also protested to Rod sternly, but in the face of Rhodes's statement that "since he is a member of the mercenary group, he must follow the order", the genius lady could only helplessly raise her hand to surrender and pinch her nose to carry out the order.
"I've done my job, Mr. Rhodes."
"Oh?"
Hearing Marlene's words, Rhodes looked at the girl with a little curiosity.
"Did you find anything good?"
"It's all here."
In the face of Rod's inquiry, Marlene replied angrily, and then she stretched out her palm and handed out the equipment she had searched for.
But she didn't expect that Rhodes didn't reach out for the first time, on the contrary, he stared blankly at a ring lying quietly in Marlene's hand, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Mr. Rhodes?"
Seeing Rod's reaction, Marlene reminded her with some dissatisfaction, and then Rod seemed to react and nodded.
"Well, I know...... Thank you for your hard work, well done. β
Rod said as he looked at the girl in front of him curiously.
The legendary Dark Soul Ring with a drop rate of 0.1 percent can be touched, how red is this genius lady's hands.........
