Chapter 126: The Remnants (I)

"Deal."

Facing what the man had fallen to the ground, Rod nodded without even looking at it. The man didn't say anything more, on the contrary, he waved his hand, and saw the other two men walking towards the carriage with their weapons in hand. Seeing their movements, Joey and the others immediately raised their weapons, but soon, with Rod's gesture, they stepped back away from the carriage. The two men came to the carriage and put all the contents in their pockets. It's also strange to say, the pockets in their hands don't look too big, but those things are not full when they are stuffed in, which makes Marlene and Lijie secretly surprised, as nobles and spellcasters, of course they know that the pockets in the hands of those two people are not ordinary pockets, and they are likely to be spatial equipment. This kind of equipment is still relatively rare in the Dragon Soul Continent, at least ordinary people can't afford it. But right now, these two guys, who were almost dressed like refugees, actually carried such a space item by themselves, which still surprised them. Not to mention, these people still seem to be from the Land of Chaos?

The two men moved quickly, and it was clear that this was not the first time they had done such a thing, and soon the contents of the carriage were swept away, leaving only three huge barrels. When he saw the huge barrel, one of them shook it curiously, and then opened the lid. At this time, everyone found that his originally expressionless face suddenly appeared with unprecedented joy.

"Big brother! It's water!! Eldest brother!! ”

"Oh?"

Hearing the young man's shout, the man in charge frowned slightly, he strode over to the barrel, then stretched out his finger, dipped the water in the barrel and tasted it, and then. There was a flash of light in his eyes, and then the man nodded in satisfaction, and then he shoved the three buckets of water into his pocket, and then turned his head and strode towards Rod. Seeing him coming, Rhodes quickly glanced at Lijie and Marlene beside him. Motioned for them to step back. Although they didn't know what Lu Dao Rhodes was planning, the two of them still stepped back a distance and looked at the man curiously. And at this time, the man walked in front of Rod.

"Very good deal."

The man spoke in a low voice, his voice like thunder, but his lingua franca was clearly not standard, and he even stammered a little.

"I look forward to working together again in the future."

"Me too."

Rod didn't say much. Instead, he nodded slightly. After receiving Rod's answer, the man stared at him in silence for a moment, then turned to leave. Soon, he and the other two men disappeared again into the dizzying, disgusting Chaos World Realm in front of everyone's eyes, and disappeared without a trace.

"Whew............... Rod, who are they? ”

It wasn't until the figures of those people disappeared completely that Marlene let out a sigh. She glanced at the chaos not far away, then quickly turned her head to retract her gaze. The Holy Soul is above. When the man walked up to Rhodes just now, Marlene could clearly smell the stench coming from him! If it hadn't been for the howling cold wind, she might have fainted completely. Marlene was sure that she had never smelled such a disgusting smell, even in those low, ugly slums. Now she finally understood why Rod had made them retreat, if not away from the man. Marlene didn't dare to guarantee that she wouldn't just vomit like that, it would be too embarrassing.

"You want to know the way?"

Hearing Marlene's inquiry, Rod shrugged his shoulders and looked around. Obviously, it's not just Marlene. Joey and Lando also looked at Rhodes curiously at the moment, after all, no matter what, their trip this time was too weird, inexplicably prepared several truckloads of food, water and weapons and equipment, and then came to this ghost place, and then inexplicably came out of so many weirdos, and then made an inexplicable deal, until now they have not figured out what the things that were thrown to the ground by each other are, it looks like a garbage collection, there are plant rhizomes and grass blades, flowers. There were some stones and bones, and some messy things that couldn't be seen as anythingβ€”β€”β€” they didn't come all the way here to collect the rags.

"Put these things away, put them in the wagon, and I'll tell you what we're here for."

With that, Rod looked at Joey.

"By the way, Joey, fifteen days from today, I want you to come again with the convoy, the goods are the same as before, no matter what the other party takes in exchange, just take it back. Don't have any conflict with them, even if they come with a weapon to grab it, let them grab it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦ Yes, sir. ”

Although he didn't know what he meant by this strange order, Joey nodded in agreement. After that, they followed Rhodes and turned and walked in the direction of the fortress. However, unlike when they came, everyone, including Lando, was walking not far from Rod's side at the moment, and it was obvious that they were also expecting answers to their questions.

"I really don't understand, my lord."

The first to ask the question was Joey, the mercenaries who had followed Rhodes for a long time were already very aware of their lord's character, although he was always cold and cold, and seemed to be unapproachable. In fact, he would not refuse to answer the questions asked by his subordinates, as long as they did not ask the wrong questions at the wrong time and in the wrong placeβ€”β€”β€” such as what time did you and Miss Marlene go to bed last night, Lord Lord.

"What do those guys do? They look like savages, and they do look quite savage. But it doesn't sound like they talk, and how did they get out of the Chaos Lands? Isn't there that no one can come out alive? ”

"Yes, that's true for ordinary people."

Hearing Joey's inquiry, Rod nodded.

"I don't think you've ever experienced what it's like to enter the Land of Chaos, where there are only broken, chaotic laws. In other words, without proper protection, you will lose your sense of direction as soon as you walk into the Chaos Lands, and believe me, not only will you not be able to distinguish between front and back, left and right, but you will not even be able to distinguish between up and down. Not only that, but the temperature and the seasons are constantly changing, as you can see, maybe one moment it will be hot as if you are in a steamer, and the next moment I can guarantee that you will be frozen into ice sculptures. That's why ordinary people can't come out of the Land of Chaos after they walk in, even if they only walk ten meters into the Land of Chaos, they won't even be able to remember which side is behind them. ”

"So horrible?"

Hearing this, not only Marlene and Lijie, but even the other people also had more or less frightened expressions on their faces, they didn't imagine the scene in the chaos, but after listening to Rod's description, many people still subconsciously shuddered, that kind of scene just imagined that made them a little unbearable. If you are really in the midst of chaos.........

"But aren't those people safe to get in and out of it?"

Lijie frowned and asked.

"If you look closely, you'll see that they have the Torch of Order in their hands, the kind of torch that allows them to barely maintain the environment of the Order Land within a certain range around them, which allows them to see their direction clearly without being too badly eroded. And this is also the reason why those people choose to take the goods back into their own space pockets and take them away. If they had driven the carriage back, I am afraid that the food would have turned to stone, or the water would have turned into viscous black oil, and in the land of chaos, the power of chaos is very large. ”

"But, Rod, who are they?!"

Marlene withdrew her gaze from the pile of "rags" carried on the carriage beside her, and looked up, her eyes full of surprise and shock. Holy Soul is above, look at what these are, dragon root grass, moonlight crystal............ Even the Heart of the Sun! I can swear that such valuable magic materials can't be found even in the academy, where did they get them?!

While sighing in a low voice, Marlene took a stone that looked gray, on the surface it looked like it was just an ordinary stone, but if you looked closely, you could see that this stone was completely formed by the condensation of mist, and it didn't have the hard touch that a stone should have when touched, it was a fog stone. Marlene can guarantee that she had seen such a magic gem at auction when she was a child, and it had sold for a whopping 30 million at that time, but it was only a piece the size of a fingernail, and now the foggy stone in her hand was the size of an apple! The Fog Stone is useful in many places, especially in magic, and Marlene is well aware that the reason why the Fog Stone is so expensive is that it can store half of the bearer's soul, so that when the bearer unfortunately dies, as long as his body does not die, then he can use the other half of the soul stored in the Fog Stone to come back to life. It's just that the stored soul itself has something to do with the size of the fog stone. A piece like a fingernail only guarantees that the bearer can come back to life. But if it's the size of a palm, then you can guarantee that the holder will return flawlessly along with his own strength. Of course, if it's birth, old age, sickness and death, then there is no point.

Even if it doesn't matter its magical value, I'm afraid there are hundreds of millions of gold coins......... And now here, it's like a broken rock thrown on the ground at random?

This kind of thing may not be able to be obtained even by the archmage of the court, how did these people get it?

Hearing Marlene's inquiry, Rhodes turned his head and glanced at the girl.

"They're remnants."

Then, Rod replied. (To be continued......)
