After re-entering the forest, everyone was very tired, including Marlene and Lijie, who were a little out of breath, but Rhodes did not stop his steps, he held the spirit master who could not walk, and half forced everyone to continue until he reached a clear spring, and then he ordered to rest in place.

"Whew......!!"

After hearing Rod's order, everyone's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and they sat down on the ground, tired and didn't want to move. Old Walker whistled in a low voice, then sat down on a rock, and began to take a break. Serek and Anne were the only two in the group who were unaffected, one quietly watching around, the other running around the crowd, bringing them water and food from time to time.

"How long will it take you to regain your strength?"

Rhodes also sat on a stone and casually asked the spirit masters next to him. This is not a game after all, everyone is not sitting on the ground and munching on a few mouthfuls of bread and water, and then they can be resurrected in the same place with full blood. As the name suggests, soul power is the amount of energy from the soul, which is somewhat similar to energy, but the difference is that when you are exhausted, at most you will pass out. And once your soul power is overdrawn——— then even if you don't die, you will be semi-crippled.

In the game, once the soul power is exhausted, then the entire character's attributes will immediately drop by half...... And after coming to this world, Rhodes also found that the people here also follow such a law, they rarely use a large amount of soul power, especially spellcasters like Marlene and Lijie, once they find that they can't do it, they will not hold on, and decisively stop attacking. Because they all know that once they get too late, they will die.

"The most, the least is needed...... Half an hour. ”

Hearing the other party's tired answer, Rhodes frowned, he felt that this speed was too slow, and he wanted to know that this place was not safer than the previous battlefield. It's more like an enhanced version of the Black Forest that everyone entered at the beginning, where the demons don't just stupidly hide in the woods to see what's going on. They will lurk and attack at any time. The nature of the spirits made them difficult to capture, and it also required the help of the spirit masters, especially Lijie's divine radiance——— but seeing the girl now leaning on Marlene's shoulder with her eyes closed, Rhodes knew that she would not be able to recover for a while.

It's just that after such a delay, will they really be able to find a living person?

"What's wrong? Look at your sad face? ”

Serek's voice appeared beside Rod, and he looked up to see the swordsman looking at him with a smile.

"We've lost too much time."

Rod shook his head.

"I'm a little worried."

"Delay?"

Hearing Rod's answer, Serek smiled dumbly, he looked at the young man in front of him helplessly, not knowing what to say. In fact, in Serek's opinion, they did a perfect enough job, and it took them less than four hours in total from the time they entered the Silent Heights until now, and considering the battle in between, it was perfect to be able to perform like this. Not to mention that there were no casualties along the way, just a little tired. In Serek's opinion, in the entire Deep Stone City, I am afraid that no mercenary group can do better than this. And seeing that Rod looked like he hated iron but not steel, he thought that the other party was worried about something, but he didn't expect that he actually thought that he was leading the mercenary group too slowly?

If these words are spread out, I don't know how many mercenary captains will commit suicide in shame to apologize for their crimes.........

"I think you've done a pretty good job."

Serek couldn't figure out what Rhodes was thinking, so he didn't think much about it, smiled wryly and reached out and patted Rod on the shoulder.

"Even if I were alone, I wouldn't have been able to come here in such a short period of time, and you can bring everyone here safely, which shows your strength. You're a very good mercenary leader, at least in Deep Rock, where I've never seen a leader as reliable as you. And what makes me even more curious is ........."

Saying this, Serek narrowed his eyes, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"How did you come up with the idea of using the spirit master's healing technique to weaken the group of undead? It's not something you think about every once in a while. ”

"When I was in the Eastern Mountains, I participated in several confrontations with the undead, and you also know that in some cases, if you want to survive, you have to do your best, and you have to try everything."

Rhodes lied and his face did not change, but his claim was not unfounded, the Eastern Mountains were located on the edge of the Night Country, and although it was the most closed place in the Moon Principality, the skirmishes between them and the Night Country never stopped. It even gave birth to a local specialty profession ——— soul hunter. These warriors, who grew up in the Eastern Mountains, are rare warriors experienced in fighting the undead in the Land of Light, and it can be said that many people have to face the attacks of the undead from the moment they can pick up a sword. This kind of fighting has been going on for hundreds of years, but both sides have been restrained, and all of it is a private and secret dispute, which has not allowed the conflict to escalate.

Serek didn't doubt Rod's explanation too much, he already knew Rod's origin before, of course, considering that there were people who were willing to leave that closed world, he was still very interested in Rod. You must know that the people of the entire Principality of Moon are well aware of the mystery and seclusion of the Eastern Mountain Plain. They hardly trade with other lands, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter their territory, they are always quietly doing what they are supposed to do on their land, not caring what others think.

There was a time when Serek wondered if Rhodes was like that, but now it seemed that he was a little different from his imaginary image of the inhabitants of the Eastern Plains.

"I've heard for a long time the rumors of those brave warriors in the Eastern Mountains facing the undead, and now it seems that this is really true."

Serek wisely didn't pursue the question further, just shrugged his shoulders and looked around again.

"It's not very safe in this place."

It is clear that the master swordsman also senses the danger hidden in the forest.

"I know that, but that's all there is for now."

Rod frowned, he didn't really want to give away too much of his strength, because it wasn't a good thing. But now it seems that the strength on his side is indeed greatly reduced, and when dealing with undead creatures, divine creatures are always the easiest, so .........

Thinking of this, Rhodes stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go find a friend and I'll be right back."

Serek didn't need to ask to know that Rhodes was talking about it, but he didn't say much. As a sword master, he admired Rod's attitude, of course, although it seemed to be talking nonsense, but it was actually a euphemism to tell him that there were some things he didn't want him to know, and Serek naturally didn't plan to ask anything more, just nodded and went with him.

Seeing Rod walking towards the forest next to him, Old Walker, Marlene and the others were about to stand up and follow, but Rod quickly stopped their actions and made a gesture to them, signaling that he had something to do and would come back immediately. And after seeing Rod's gesture, although everyone was a little puzzled, they still stopped and rested, after all, in such a long time, they had developed unconditional trust in Rod, so in the face of Rod's order, everyone did not doubt it. …,

Walking into the forest not far away, Rhodes looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he stretched out his right hand.

Soon, the summoning circle emitted a bright magical glow, and then, a white card appeared in Rod's hand, and then turned into a beautiful holy sword, levitating in front of Rod.

[The Holy Sword has been detected, has it taken on a human form?] ]

Be.

With Rod's inner response, the white and flawless long sword immediately melted into dazzling brilliance, and lines spread out from it, stretching and condensing towards the surroundings, and soon, the beautiful girl appeared in front of Rod again.

"Master, I am here to answer your call."

The girl was on her knees with a long sword in her hand, and looked at Rhodes quietly and solemnly, her eyes were extremely clear, and the faint golden light shone in them, giving the girl a bit of seductive charm.

Unlike Lijie's half-tone, this is pure angelism.

"Get up, don't bother."

Facing the girl in front of him, Rhodes was a little unaccustomed. Although there is no shortage of female elves among summoning elves, such as the most common water elves, the wind elves are all female and are quite popular among players. But no matter what kind of existence they are, they are all living beings after all. And the girl in front of him is transformed from a sword, this is also the first time for Rod, he has never seen a summoned elf that has changed from an object to a creature, when he thinks that the beautiful girl in front of him is a sword, he will always feel strange in his heart if he doesn't know what to do.

"I need your help for the next battle."

Rod said directly, the other party is his summon, so naturally you don't need to be polite.

"I think you can feel the undead aura around here, too, these are very troublesome guys......... Will you die? ”

"No, master."

Hearing Rod's order, the angel girl shook her head slightly.

"I am not a pure living being, so I am not afraid of death, and as long as your strength can be maintained, then I will always exist."

"That's fine."

Hearing the girl's answer, Rod nodded in satisfaction.

"I'll take you out of the city in a moment, remember, from now on you're ......... Do you have a name of your own? ”

Speaking of this, Rhodes realized that he didn't seem to know if the angel had his own name.

"Yes, master."

The girl raised her right hand and pressed it to her chest.

"I'm the tenth of the Eternal Holy Sword, Star Scar, Celia, and when I take on human form, just call me Celia."

"Okay, Celia, you have to remember for a while, don't reveal your true identity in front of others, if you have any questions, you can come and ask me, do you know the way?"

"Yes, master."

Hearing Celia's answer, Rod nodded in satisfaction, then he turned around and walked back.

And when he walked out of the woods, everyone was almost rested.

"Hey, boy, where the hell did you go?"

Old Walker asked curiously as he put the flask back on his waist. He looked up and looked at Rhodes curiously, but when he saw the heavily armed girl behind him, Old Walker's movements immediately stopped.

“………… Mr. Rhodes? ”

At this moment, Lijie's eyes widened in surprise, she stood up from the ground, and looked curiously at the girl who was quietly following Rod, even a few other people were no exception, not only because Rod's eyes were brought back after a circle outside, but also because the snow-white wings spread out on the girl's back clearly told everyone that this was an angel.

You must know that angels are very noble creatures on the mainland, and most of them are at the top level, even the lowest-level angels have a very high status. At least, in a remote place like Deep Rock City, even the city lord has never seen an angel once in his life. And now, Rod didn't know where to run and turned around, and turned back an angel?

Who is she?

Even Serek looked at the two people in front of him with a suspicious gaze at this moment, and had questions.
