Chapter 685: Quest Rewards and System Upgrades (Part II)
Rod stood up and walked to the middle of the study, and then he held out his right hand.
“…………!!”
Lines of magic glow emerged from the back of Rod's hand, and they slowly flowed downward, as if flowing water flowed from Rod's body to the ground, and soon formed a summoning circle of three rings. And with the unfolding of the summoning circle, the ten soul cores were also slowly suspended in the air, as if they were pulled by invisible silk threads, forming a circle with Rhodes as the center. And at this moment, in front of Rod's eyes, lines of system prompts have emerged.
[An unspecified Phantom Guardian has been unlocked, please select a projection target]
Looking at the line of prompts in front of him, Rod lowered his head, and at the same time, a series of lists emerged, and then, Rod reached out and clicked on one of the names. Soon, the light flashed, and golden light emerged from between Rod's fingers, jumping like a surging electric current.
[The projection target has been determined, is it projected to the core of the soul?] 】
Be.
Looking at the system prompt in front of him, Rod nodded slightly.
And at this moment, the soul brilliance around him suddenly changed.
Pillars of white and flawless light rose from the ground to the summoning circle, enveloping the ten soul cores in it, and soon, the ten soul cores were connected together, and they began to tremble slightly, like sand and stones washed by a waterfall, allowing the soul light to penetrate from the inside out—and then, burst out.
"Smack!"
With a crisp cracking sound, the ten soul cores surrounding Rhodes shattered almost at the same time, turning into ten rotating cards. However, Rhodes did not immediately check the attributes and content introduction of these cards, instead, he moved his gaze to the card that was hovering in front of him, and quickly. Another system prompt appeared in front of Rode.
[Frame Core Card Detected]
[Please select a card to specify]
Seeing this line of system prompts, Rod did not hesitate at all, stretched out his finger, and lightly touched the card suspended in front of him, with white on a black background.
[The core ——— of the designated card set has entered the position of the top ten essentia and has been successfully combined]
"Boom !!"
At the same time. A pitch-black flame rose from the ground in front of Rhodes and soared into the sky, and then, all the cards that had been hovering around Rhodes disappeared without a trace. The pitch-black flame gradually faded into a faint light, and then vanished——— replaced by a slender and graceful figure.
It was a woman who looked about twenty years old, she was not very pretty, her white and delicate face, and her short shoulder-length black hair matched her beautiful facial features. A pair of black-rimmed glasses filled her with a bit of intellectuality. The woman wore a thin black tights with a knee-length skirt and stockings, as well as dark brown martin boots. In addition, the woman's body was draped in a black background with a red lining, black fur as the edge, and in the sunlight, you could vaguely see the strange words and magic patterns flashing on it.
And the most eye-catching. It is a heavy book strung by a golden chain around the woman's waist, with an ornate pattern on the cover. Suddenly. She's not so much a warrior as a scholar.
However, after seeing the woman's figure, the first reaction of the little bubblegum was not surprise, nor exclamation, but incomparable disappointment.
"Ah............ Really, I didn't strip naked! ”
"Hahh..............."
Although the canary did not speak. But from her slightly exaggerated sigh of disappointment, you can also see the girl's thoughts.
I've been tossing around here for a long time, so I wanted to see this.
Hearing the complaints of the two, Rod couldn't help but roll his eyes, it seems that they still remember the appearance of their clothes when they summoned the two of them, and now they are planning to take revenge in turn in feng shui? But alas. Since she is not just a simple phantom guard, but is designated as the existence of summoning elves, even if her strength will be reduced, the equipment on her body will not be deprived of it——— she was not without clothes when she got the Seven Loves.
"Whew............ Rod, bubbles, canary, long time no see..............."
At this moment, the woman exhaled softly, and then she lowered her eyes and face, and greeted the three of them with a half-asleep appearance. Hearing her greeting, Rod and Canary also nodded slightly to her. Only the little bubblegum "cut" in her mouth, and hid behind the canary with some unhappiness, then poked her head out to look at the woman, and stuck out her tongue at the same time.
"Cut, Sister Xin is still the same, it really hasn't changed at all!"
"Hoo ....................."
In the face of the little bubble gum's words, the woman still didn't react at all, she just lowered her eyes like that, looking as if she couldn't hold on to it all night and could sleep anytime and anywhere, but Rhodes and others were no stranger to her appearance. The woman in front of her was none other than Bilan's Heart, one of the vice presidents of the Starlight Guild———.
Like Canary and Little Bubblegum, Blanc Heart is also connected to Rhodes in reality, she is Rhodes' senior sister, and she is a member of the same club as Rhodes. But even though he said that, from the time Rhodes entered the university to the time he graduated, he had definitely seen this senior sister no more than ten times in the real world.
The reason is very simple, because she is an extremely strong otaku.
The first time I saw Bilan's heart, it was when Rhodes had just entered the university to participate in the orientation party, and the appearance of a senior sister made everyone around him suddenly become popular as if he had met an idol star, which made Rod and other freshmen completely inexplicable at that time, because the senior sister didn't look outstanding, although it was a little delicate, not ugly. But it shouldn't be the kind of person who will cause a sensation everywhere he goes, and the class flower and school flower level (if you change the canary, that's another story). But later, under the narration of the seniors, Rod and others finally understood the reason.
In fact, when she first enrolled, Bilan's Heart caused a sensation when she entered the university with the first grade. And he is also one of the representatives of the freshman speech of the university. But soon, everyone quickly learned her maverick side - although she was selected as the representative of the college freshmen, she did not attend the opening ceremony at all, and since entering the university's own dormitory, this senior sister has hardly ever left the dormitory door for half a step, and she basically does not even go to class. If that's the case, it's not that unusual. After all, after going to college, many people let go and began to eat and play, and it was normal not to go to class for roll call. But the most surprising thing is that although this senior sister basically does not leave the dormitory, the school has never let her withdraw from school because of this, nor has it warned her, but acquiesced in her to keep messing around like this. As for the reason, no one knows. Rhodes had also heard a lot of rumors, some of which were rumors that this senior sister was a genius, and she came to this university to do some kind of research with the joint team, so the university opened up to this genius girl. As for the real situation, no one can say clearly. Not to mention that although she almost never goes to class, her presence is low and intimidating. But she was able to pass every exam easily and safely, and she was a legendary figure in school.
And this senior sister joined Starlight after Starlight grew stronger, and Rod didn't particularly care about it at first. It wasn't until later that I was reminded that I found out that Bilan's heart turned out to be the legendary existence in their school. And Bilan's heart also admitted this in front of Rod, and at this time, the two really began to understand and know each other.
In the middle of the game. The class of Blanc Heart is a special hidden class "Magic Bachelor" that has been transferred from a scholar, which is a support class within a support class. And unlike the little bubblegum spirit master, the scholar's full-time job is to excavate the ruins, archaeology, and parse the ancient text information left in the ruins of the dungeon, and is not good at fighting. And in fact. Bilan's own operating skills are also very average, even under Rod's hands, in terms of combat skills alone, she is only at an upper average level, and there is no way to compare with Little Bubblegum and Canary.
But the other way around. When it comes to digging up the hidden information and commanding the team, Blanc Heart is a complete genius commander. Originally, the profession of scholar was a profession that specialized in support, but she dug out the rare high-level transfer of "magic master". After being transferred to the "Demon Master", not only has his strength as a scholar been enhanced, but he can also cast some range-based support spells like mages and spirit masters, and also has high-level offensive skills. And the most perverted is the unique skill of the "Demon Bachelor" - [Eternal Bibliography].
Through this skill, the Wizard can analyze any skill cast in front of him, and once the analysis is successful, then this skill will be included in the "Eternal Bibliography" in the Wizard's hand, and after being included in the "Eternal Catalogue", the Wizard can choose to release it for attack and defense. However, in this case, the skill can only be used once, and it will be used up again. If you have enough time, you can choose to learn the skill without releasing it, and if you succeed, you can master the skill and use it as a class. At that time, whether it is the mage's spell, the spirit master's spiritual art, or the swordsman's swordsmanship, the magic master can be perfectly simulated and released. And there will be no restrictions because of cross-career releases.
However, this class is not really strong, for the simple reason that the more powerful the skill, the more difficult it is for the Wizard to analyze and learn it. Although theoretically, the Magic Master can even analyze, copy and learn the skills of the bosses. But it takes a lot of time. There are even times when it takes a boss to release the skill back and forth several times before it can be analyzed. As for wanting to learn, it is even more difficult, in the past, Bilan's heart had successfully copied the skill of the Dark Dragon once, but when she tried to learn it, she found that it would take at least a year and a half to learn this skill——— and it was also a year and a half in the real world.
At this time, the Dark Dragon had died eight times out of ten.
Because of this, coupled with the fact that the operation level of Bilan's heart itself is not very high, even with the help of a group of top talents such as Rhodes, her combat skills are only at an upper average level. I basically can't see her name in the single challenge field of PVP, and even if I do, I will lose more and win less.
But on the other hand, the so-called God closed a door at the same time. It will open a window——— although there are many deficiencies in individual combat skills, but Bilan's Heart is a rare team battle command talent, as we all know, it is very difficult to command team battles on the Internet, because players are not soldiers, it is impossible to ban them. And when there are too many people, it is easy to mess up. So in the game. Many large-scale battles between players, although they are still a bit tactical at the beginning, but then they basically turn into dogfights, which is a bit of a sense of seeing where to fight.
But Bilan's heart is the complete opposite, whether it is a team battle of fifty people, five hundred, five thousand or even fifty thousand people, she can command it in an orderly manner, and her reaction speed and decision speed are also abnormally fast. Generally speaking. In the midst of a scuffle, there is always a time lag between the commander thinking of an idea and giving an order. However, at this time, Bi Lan's heart reversed her usual hand-wrenching performance in PVP heads-up, and her speed almost soared to the extreme, and she was able to detect the next flow even before the battle situation changed, and quickly and accurately made various instructions. With a huge warband in order, Rod's Starlight was able to crisscross the continent invincible, and was able to stab the back to the extreme, except for elite talents like Canary and Little Bubblegum who have been following him. The team command of the heart of the blue is also an aspect, if it were not for her to organize the entire combat team in an orderly manner. I'm afraid that Rod's tactics will not be so easy to succeed.
But don't think that this senpai-sama is the type who gets excited as soon as she plays the game, in fact. Whether in reality or in the game, this senior sister has always been drowsy, as if she couldn't support it after staying up all night and was about to close her eyes and fall asleep. At the beginning, others who didn't know the truth also advised Bilan's heart to go down to sleep if she couldn't stand it, and her body came first. Later, I found out that this senior sister was drowsy at any time before she got up in the morning, just finished eating at noon, or before going to bed at night, and everyone was used to it. And not just in team fights. Even in the face of the boss, even if it is a group annihilation, this senior sister will always be this lazy and lazy, as if she will never sleep enough. Sometimes when she talks and talks, she even thinks that she just fell asleep.
"Senior sister. I guess you understand where we're now. ”
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Bilan's heart lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, her right hand holding the "Eternal Bibliography" and her left hand drooping straight down. The whole person stood next to the wall like this, and the neat bangs shook slightly with her movements, and after a while, Bi Lanxin nodded slightly.
“……… Well, I know, Rod, don't worry, I know what to do. ”
"That's fine."
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bilan's answer, and then he looked at Bilan's Heart.
"Then, senior sister, you go down and rest first, I will ask the canary to find you a room, and as for what to do next, I will tell you after this."
"No problem, then, the kids will be handed over to you, Rod."
Hearing Rod's words, Blanche yawned, then glanced at the card in Rod's hand, then reached out and nudged the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Rod, on the other hand, turned his head to look at the canary and the little bubblegum.
"You go find a room for the senior sister, and as for the others, I will formally introduce the senior sister to them in the back."
"Okay, Rod, I'll go get ready."
"Ah............ It's boring, but I really want to see what they look like when they see the second sister, hahaha, it must be funny, let's go, second sister! ”
Watching the three of them leave the study, Rod shook his head with a wry smile, and then he sat back down at his desk and began to carefully observe the ten cards in front of him. Since Rhodes is a summoning card awakened with a top-level soul core, the level of these ten cards is generally very high, and the existence of them also makes Rhodes quite excited.
These ten cards are all unified with white on a black background, revealing a bit of murder in their seriousness. The first card is the Heart of Bilan. On the card, her hands are outstretched, the Black Cover of the Bibliography of Eternity hovering in front of her, and behind the Heart of Bilan are several pillars made of metal.
[Acquired Legion of the End Deck 10/10]
【Heart of Bilan. Demon Evoker (the first in the Legion of the End, human attribute) Attack 3 Defense 5: Rare Demon Bachelor, non-fusion, skill analysis, copy, learning, chanting attributes.

All Laws Are One (No Penalty for Using Skills Across Classes)
Mastery (Proficiency increase is increased by 50%, and the power of full proficiency skills is increased by 1/10)
Growth Rate: 0%】
Excluding these anti-heaven support skills, from the perspective of attributes alone, this senior sister's offense and defense are really low enough. But thinking about it, this is only the value after the initial level, and it will grow in the future, so Rod accepted it. What's more, even in the game, Senior Sister is not the kind of knight who can charge ahead, she is more like the kind of general who controls everything in the rear. You don't need to actively charge into battle, so it's okay to have a lower stat - you can still be resurrected if you die.
Although he was mentally prepared, when Rod saw the next cards, even he couldn't help but be stunned, even if it was just a cursory look, Rod was sure that just the combat power of these ten cards was enough to withstand the last legion! (To be continued......)
