Chapter 574: Labis's Problem
The Holy White Griffin spread its wings and leaped down from the sky, reaching out its claws and pounced on Rod. And just when the pair of sharp claws were about to tear Rod's body, a cold light suddenly flashed, and then with a "ding" sound, a long sword appeared in Rod's hand, blocking the attack of the Holy White Griffin, and perceiving that the attack was hindered, the griffin roared, then turned over and jumped backwards, at the same time, the long tail behind it "whirred" and flung forward, straight to Rod's face. In the face of the further attack of the Holy White Griffin, Rod's face did not change in the slightest, he just waved the long sword in his hand lightly, and soon, he saw that Rod's long sword quickly slashed a strange trace in the air, like a poisonous snake reversed the direction and swept away the attack of the golem. Then Rod swung forward with his backhand, and a soul sword light instantly roared out, hitting the body of the Holy White Griffon, and this powerful impact pushed the Holy White Griffin to roll backwards and fall to the ground, but soon, it turned over flexibly again and regained its posture.
"Not bad."
Looking at the constructed golem in front of him, Rod nodded with satisfaction, of course he didn't plan to be serious with the Holy White Griffin, with Rode's strength, if he really went all out, then this Holy White Griffin would definitely turn into garbage in an instant. However, this does not mean that the Constructed Golem created by Labis is not strong, on the contrary, it is only because Rhodes is too strong. If this Holy White Griffin can really force Rhodes around, then it is at least the master's top-level strength, and even Labis can't get it so easily with this level of alchemy construct.
From the attack of the Holy White Griffin just now, Rhodes has figured out the basic performance of this alchemy golem, its defense is very strong, although Rhodes' soul sword light only released two-thirds of the force, but it can withstand Rhodes' blow without the slightest trace of cracks, it can be seen that the defense of the Holy White Griffin is very good, and its flexibility is also very good, and it was knocked to the ground by Rhodes. But he was able to turn around and get up immediately, and the body that should have been made of stone was soft like a living beingβββ alchemy is really a magical memory.
According to Rod's inference, the current strength of the Holy White Griffin should be between level 25 and 30, and this kind of griffin alone must not pose any threat to the undead legion, and low-level alchemy creatures like this must be in groups to be able to pose a threat. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and this sentence makes sense both in reality and in games. It's not like there haven't been players who have relied on their own strength before. Broke into the lair alone, and then drowned alive by a ** monster. Even if the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and the monster can only knock out one drop of blood at a time, it will make the player feel very irritated by the continuous attack.
Looking at the holy white griffin in front of him, Rhodes lowered his eyes. Secretly compared the air forces of the Night Dragon Kingdom in his heart. Whether it is a gargoyle or a bone falcon, the individual strength is not very strong, and the gargoyle is no more than twenty levels, but because of the unique necromantic alchemy of the Night Dragon Kingdom, their number has always been an advantage. However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and although gargoyles have such advantages, they also have a disadvantage, that is, the materials used to shape the gargoyle body are really bad. The Holy White Griffon made by Labis. The stones used are all of the best stone. However, the materials of the gargoyle are all very ordinary, even very rough materials, and because of this, the gargoyle's ability to resist hits is very poor. Even archers who have stepped into the elite can easily eliminate them.
The Bone Falcon, on the other hand, is the complete opposite, it has almost no physical body and is more like a ghostly existence, for the undead legion. The Bone Falcon is the best scout. Their near-transparent bodies protect them from detection, and the special sense between the undead and their wielder allows even undead mages to obtain data as accurate as a radar scan. And that's not all. The Bone Falcon's virtual nature also allows them to ignore the attacks of those entities, and only magic and magic equipment can inflict damage on the Bone Falcon.
Because of this trait, the Bone Falcon is also considered a high-level class in the Undead Legion, and since they are not as easy to craft as gargoyles, they are generally only eligible for use by generals and commanders.
If we use an airplane as an analogy, then the gargoyle is a fighter jet, and the skeleton falcon is a reconnaissance plane. If the Holy White Gryphon can be mass-produced, then there is no problem in dealing with gargoyles, but if the opponent is a bone falcon, then with the current attack form of the Holy White Griffon, it is difficult to take advantage.
"Is there no way to attach elemental properties to it?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Rhodes..............."
Hearing this, Labis lowered her head a little apologetically.
"The power of these soul cores is too weak, I have tried my best to let it move freely, it has consumed all the power of the soul core, and there is no way to ............... anymore."
"I know it's not your responsibility."
Looking at Labis in front of him, Rod couldn't help but reach out and pat the girl's shoulder to comfort him. Only then did he realize that the girl in front of him had changed a lot from beforeβββ although Labis was not a beauty of the level of Marlene, Seven Love and Serlestina, but she was also a delicate and lovely beauty. But now, what greeted Rod's eyes was a somewhat haggard face, perhaps because of overwork, Labis's already pale skin now showed a pale color, and her cheeks were also much thinner, not to mention that Labis's eyes could vaguely see bruised dark circles under her eyes, although Labis had made up to cover up, but the tiredness on her face could not be eliminated.
Seeing Labis in front of him, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had been out for so many days, and the one he cared about the least was the alchemy elf in front of him. It's no wonder that Labis is also a very introverted person on weekdays, quiet and quiet, never talking much, and not very active, often doing whatever Rod asks her to do. Even if he encountered any difficulties, he never took the initiative to speak. Although Labis didn't say anything, from her slightly haggard and tired face, Rhodes could still guess that Labis must have suffered a lot in order to complete the task he gave her. Although she is now filled with Belchems's alchemy knowledge, she also has the strength of an alchemy master. However, it is difficult for the so-called clever woman to cook without rice, and no matter how top scientists are, they will not be able to build a nuclear reactor unarmed. The reason why Labis is so busy is not because of her. It's about Rhodes and the Starlight Guild. There are not so many players in this world who dig and gather to provide raw materials, which makes it quite difficult for Rhodes to spend money to buy alchemy materials, and Starlight is now in its infancy, so it is not very wealthy, let alone spending too much money on it. After all, in addition to the money needed for Labis's research and manufacturing, it was also a lot of money to maintain a large guild, although it relied on the cooperation with the Silver Scale. and the mine mining that was sold to the Keller family, so that Starlight can be regarded as having a stable income. But that's just enough money to keep guilds and strongholds alive. In addition, in many cases, Labis can't buy the materials she wants, even if she has money, so she can only be simplified. Even the raw materials for the manufacture of the Holy White Griffin were not purchased by Rhodes with money, but were distributed by the Keller family after mining the minerals according to the agreement.
"Labis."
Come to think of it. Rhodes spoke, and hearing Rhodes' voice, Labis also hurriedly raised her head and looked at him curiously.
"That's all for today, we're going to have a banquet in the evening, and everyone has to attend, and you're no exception. Starting today, you take a break from what you're doing and take a break. β
"Yes. But, my lord, ..............."
Hearing Rod's words, Labis opened her eyes a little uneasily, and looked at Rhodes worriedly.
"We finally got ............ In case ........."
"Don't worry, don't worry these days, your body is more important. Although I know that you are a master of alchemy, and there are ways to ensure your physical health, but too stressful life will not have a good impact on your spirit, starting today. You take a break from work. Take a break. β
It was not for nothing that Rhodes said this, although Labis was good at alchemy. I also like alchemy, but I can't always toss around like this all day long. Although she may enjoy it, her body must be unbearable. Rhodes didn't quite understand the difference between alchemy elves and ordinary humans, but he figured that no matter what race they were, overwork was not good for mental and physical health. And as one of the most important members of the Starlight Guild at present, of course, Rhodes doesn't want to be overly squeezed, and then completely spoil poor Labis, which is to lose his wife and lose his soldiers.
Hearing Rod's words, Labis lowered her head, a blush flashed in front of the girl, and then she nodded slightly.
"I know, Lord Rhodes."
And while Rhodes and Labis were chatting, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and then several rough mercenary roars sounded, which made Rhodes frown, and Labis was also frightened after hearing these voices, and took two steps back. Even Christie, at this time, showed a hint of unease. She reached out, grabbed the corner of Rod's coat, and looked out the door with some concern. And at this time, I only heard Anne's voice outside suddenly sounded.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave, or be careful that Anne is not kind to you!! β
Hearing Anne's voice, Christie couldn't help but tremble, and then whispered to herself.
"Here we go again........."
"Again?"
Hearing Christie's words, Rod's face sank, and then he looked at Labis next to him.
"What's going on? Are any of them here to make trouble? β
"That's right, Lord Rhodes."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, a little hesitation appeared on Labis's face, and she thought twice before replying tremblingly.
"After you left, a group of people came to the fortress......... They didn't know where they heard about me making potions for the guild, so they came to me, I don't know what they wanted to do......... But when they heard from the sea elves, they ......... "At this point, Labis stopped talking, as if there was something unspeakable. But Rhodes didn't notice this, instead, he frowned and focused on what Labis had said before.
"When did these guys come to the fortress?"
"More than a month ago........."
"They entered the alchemy workshop?"
"No, no. Lord Rhodes, thanks to the protection of your platoon's mercenaries, those people were not able to enter the alchemy workshop at all. But they have no intention of leaving..............."
"Didn't you tell Bubbles and Canary about that?"
Hearing Labis's answer, Rod's face was slightly gloomy, he had never had to dig other people's corners by himself, but he didn't expect that now there were still people who dared to run to his own territory to dig his corners, it was simply boring! Hearing Rod's inquiry, Labis hesitated. Then he shook his head helplessly. "Miss Bubbles and Miss Canary are busy, and they only come to the door occasionally to harass them, and they don't do anything......... So ........."
"Boom !!"
Before Labis could finish speaking, he heard a loud roar outside, and hearing this, Rhodes glanced at Labis and Christie next to him, then turned around and walked out of the workshop. Soon. Rhodes saw Anne standing in the air not far from the workshop, holding the Adamantite Gold Shield in her right hand and smashing it into a big depression in the ground. On the opposite side of the girl, more than a dozen men were standing there at the moment, looking at her with disdain and indifference. And in the sight of these people. Rod's eyes narrowed slightlyβββ these people were not wearing the leather armor of the mercenaries. Rather, it's a red and white striped uniform.
Are these guys ...............
Thinking of this, Rod's face was slightly gloomy, and then he slowly stepped forward and came to Anne's side.
"Annie, what's going on?"
"Ah, Commander, you're finally out!"
Hearing Rod's voice, Anne hurriedly turned her head to look at him. Then, the girl stretched out her finger menacingly, pointing at the men in front of her.
"These guys are so annoying, Anne, according to your command, stay here, and no one is allowed to enter. But these guys are going to break in. Anne wouldn't let them in, and the bastards were here saying we're all barbarians or something............ I'm so angry with Annie!! β
After hearing Anne's complaint, Rhodes turned his head and squinted at the crowd in front of him. After a while. He snorted coldly and looked up. Then. Only then did Rod speak.
"It's funny, when did the Alchemist Guild learn to steal chickens and dogs like thieves to dig into other people's corners?"
"You ββββ!!"
Hearing Rod's words, the faces of those people suddenly changed, and then two people stretched out their fingers and pointed at Rhodes to say something. But before they could open their mouths, they were stopped by a middle-aged man at the head of the group, a man who looked a little thin, with gold-rimmed eyes, and a slender face that at first glance looked disgusting like a wicked jackal. Seeing that in the face of Rod's provocation, the man laughed coldly, and then he walked out with his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and looked at Rod with contempt.
"You are the leader of these mercenaries? Youngster? It seems that you are better than your vulgar and savage men, and since you already know who we are, I might as well tell you frankly......... We, the Alchemists Guild, believe that the alchemists who make potions for your guild are criminals who have escaped from our guild and are wanted, so in the name of the Alchemists Guild, I ask you to hand them over immediately! β
Convict?
Hearing the other party's straightforward answer, Rod was stunned for a moment, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the man in front of him.
"Well, then, I would like to hear that if you say that my subordinates have sinned, what crime have they committed?"
"It's not a question of what you are qualified to know."
Seeing that Rod obviously did not intend to act according to his words, the man's face suddenly became gloomy, and he showed a strange smile, and then continued: "All in all, we have solid evidence to prove it, and now, I ask you to hand over the person immediately and unconditionally, young man." I think you should also understand what will happen if you go against our Alchemist Guild. If you refuse, then we will have to seek the help of the lord and ask them to send a guard to come here and arrest the prisoners......... I don't think as the leader of the Mercenary Guild wants things to come to this. β
"Get out."
A deep voice rang out.
Before the smile on the man's face dissipated, he saw a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and then, the howling wind that rose from the ground hit the man's body like a heavy hammer, and he only had time to scream, and then the whole person flew upside down and fell to the ground. And when he raised his head again in embarrassment and looked ahead, he only felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then, Rod's figure appeared beside him, and then, a cold, dark and sharp long sword was pressed against his neck.
"I'll give you three minutes to get out of the fortress obediently."
Rod's voice was calm, and so was his expression.
"I don't care what kind of alchemist guild you are or whatever, you want to go wild in the land of atonement, you are still a little short, now, I ask you to leave immediately."
Hearing Rod's words, the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then, he gritted his teeth and looked at the other party viciously.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ What if, we don't leave? β
In the face of the man's inquiry, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Then you'll never want to leave."
Then he spoke.
