For Rhodes, this information itself is not difficult to understand. This shows that the summoning elves itself has two attributes: light element and wind element, which will make them more easily resist when facing attacks with the same attribute. (") However, it is very abnormal to appear on the Soul Bird, because the Soul Bird is a Wind element attribute creature and has no connection with the eight poles of the Light Element. It is like a field mouse running to tell an eagle that our two families are relatives, which is completely unreliable.

Then there is only one possibility next, that is, the elves are affected by external elements during the evolution process. If those elements are strong enough, they can indeed add new elemental attributes to the summoned elves.

However, this answer did not allow Rhode to accept it, but instead he became more and more confused.

The Black Pine Ruins is a secret heritage site. To put it bluntly, this is the world of magic and constructs. Magic itself has no attributes, and the construct is a dead object, so it is impossible to affect the summoning elves. Although the influence of the earth element attributes under the ground may be relatively large, because the wind element and the earth element attributes are incompatible, it is unlikely that summoning elves will add attributes in this aspect. But no matter what, there is no light element attribute nearby!

Rod carefully recalled the route he had come in from the maze until now, and did not see anything related to the attributes of the light element along the way. To be able to influence the attributes of the summoning spirit, it is not ordinary light, but it requires a large amount of strong influence of the attributes of the light element. This level of light element is usually in a temple or a church, but it is impossible to be in such a dusty ruin.

Rhode thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head. He was sure that he had never encountered any god statue church along the way. And according to his memory, there was no light elemental equipment or rare monsters in the ruins of the Black Pine.

Where does this really start...

Finally, Rhode shook his head and deleted the question. No matter how this attribute comes from, at least this can ensure that the Soul Bird can have more attribute resistance in the future. Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but hold it hard.

"Ka!"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the card breaking, a huge bird appeared in front of Rhodes. The small soul bird that used to disappear completely, replaced by a bird that was more than two meters tall and blue, slowly flapping its wings, its long tail feathers drooped straight on the ground, and its sharp eyes stared at Rhodes without blinking. (") And its changes were not limited to the increase of the body - extending the edge of the wings, the pale white light surrounded the entire soul bird like a layer of stripes, and it looked like it was floating in the light - this was the change brought about by the attributes of the light element.

“———!”

Facing Rhodes, the Soul Bird screamed softly at first, then it stretched out its head and rubbed Rhodes with kisses. Rhodes also stroked its head in response. The Soul Bird seemed to be very satisfied with the master's touch. It shook its body lightly, then raised its head and screamed again, then turned into a card again and disappeared into the air.

“Wow……”

Until this time, Anne, who had been watching from the side, reacted. She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Rhode with curiosity and excitement. Until the soul bird completely disappeared, the girl cried out in curiosity. She jumped up quickly and ran to Rhode's side, just as a child had seen some magical toy looking at Rhode's right hand.

"Captain, is the one you summoned just now also an elf? What a beautiful bird, can we raise it?"

"It's for fighting, not for viewing."

Faced with Anne's brainless inquiry, Rhode took it by casually. However, Anne didn't seem to plan to let it go. She was still rushing around Rhode. She asked curiously, but this could not be blamed. In fact, Rhode's fighting style has always been a topic that the mercenary group has often discussed in private. Whether it is the new recruits or veterans, they have never seen a profession or fighting style like summoning swordsmen, so they have never formed a unified argument about what kind of warrior Rhode is.

Unlike Marin, no matter how powerful she is, she is a mage, and she can only be a mage. But Rhodes is different. He used his superb sword technique, which is enough to prove that he is a very powerful swordsman, but he can use the summoning technique that only mages can use. This is really strange. Some people have also doubted whether Rhodes did it with some kind of ancestral magic prop, but they quickly denied this speculation. (") Because magic props cannot transform into so many different elves...

This is their guess without knowing that Qi Lian and Celia are also summoning elves.

Rhode was not interested in literacy of Anne. Since Anne seemed to have rested, he chose to continue moving forward. He threw Anne next to him. Although he did not get a definite answer, Anne looked like she did not feel regretful at all. She still followed Rhode with an excited expression, obviously intending to appreciate Rhode's style during the battle.

"Captain, will you fight with it later? Annie really wants to see it, can she touch it?"

"You should pay attention to yourself first. The next opponent is not as easy to deal with as bad iron as these."

Rod decisively poured cold water on Anne's enthusiasm, and then he glanced around with a little vigilance.

"Let's go, I always feel that something is wrong here."

After saying this, Rhode turned and left, and Anne hurriedly followed closely.

The figures of the two quickly disappeared into the passage. The space that was slightly noisy just now returned to peace, but not long after, the figures suddenly appeared from the corner.

"Did you see it? Teacher Armond?"

The girl in front narrowed her eyes and stared at the place where Rhode had just stood with interest.

"What a wonderful art. How did he do it? Is the summoning technique?"

"I don't know very well, Miss, but it seems that it is not a summoning technique, at least not the kind of summoning technique that the mage does."

The old man shook his head, and his face also had a contemplative and confusing expression at this moment.

"To be honest, I have never seen a similar magic technique. Judging from the flow of magic, this should be a very unique and self-contained summoning system. However, I have no way to analyze its source. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this technique is very ancient."

"Oh? That's so interesting."

Hearing the old man's answer, the girl opened her eyes slightly in surprise. Then she turned her head and looked forward thoughtfully. A hint of naked greed flashed in her eyes.

"Beautiful appearance, mysterious personality, unique skills... I really want to put you in my gem box more and more, Mr. Rhodes. I am sure you will become the most bizarre pearl in my collection... Everything in this country belongs to me, of course, you, so what else will you bring to us next?"

There was a chill behind Rhodes.

Just now, a strange feeling suddenly appeared, which made him shivering. He almost subconsciously looked back, but he saw only the dim corridor, and at that end there was nothing, no monsters following him, and no abnormality representing danger.

After staying underground for a long time, I will still be nervous. After finishing my work early, I will go out to bask in the sun.

With this idea in mind, Rhode walked to the end of the passage, and then he made a gesture to Anne to signal her to prepare for battle. Then Rhode took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the stone door in front of him.

The white light surged out of it in an instant, even causing Rhode to close his eyes involuntarily.

In front of Rhodes is a wide hall covered by white stone slabs.

The arc-shaped dome was hung high, and the fluorite lamp shining with magical brilliance emitted a cold white light, illuminating everything in front of you. The stone pillars carved with patterns were arranged in two rows by the walls, and thick, brass-colored pipes could be seen everywhere. On the walls on both sides, a total of six black holes of metal pipes were aimed at the hall. They suddenly looked like ordinary exhaust pipes, but for Anne, who had been attacked before, she would not simply regard this thing as a useless weird pipe.

But the most eye-catching thing is the metal component standing in front of them and blocking the passage.

It looks more than two meters high, with thick arms hanging from the waist. Although the two metal legs don't look long, they hold onto the ground firmly. Unlike the previous construction guardians, it has a thick deck all over its body, with almost no gaps or weaknesses.

"Be careful, be careful of this guy's attack."

Rhode stopped by the door and whispered to Anne.

"It's very slow, but you have to pay attention to the angle. This guy looks like a human, but don't treat it as a human. Its joints and waist can be rotated at will, and it can be done whatever you want. So you must be careful. By the way, pay more attention to the metal pipes. I think you should also know what these things are for. Once the core guards enter the combat state, those annoying construction guards will be transported over. I'll deal with the core guards, and you'll deal with the construction guards. Remember, although these guys are very flexible, they are transported when they are

There will be an activation process after coming here, so I ask you to smash these guys immediately whenever you see them being sent. Don’t be nervous, it has been useless for a long time, and there are not many constructed guardians that can be transported. By the way, you should also pay attention to its movements. Once the core guardian starts to squirt all over his body, I ask you to stay away from it immediately, run as far as possible, and at the same time let yourself enter the defensive body as soon as possible. Do you understand? At that time, you don’t have to care about those constructed guardians, they won’t pose too much threat.”

"I understand, leader."

Hearing Rhode's instructions, Anne was silent for a moment, and nodded after understanding what he meant. Then she took out the shield and pulled it gently. Soon, with the sound of the sliding of the machine basket, the originally complex gold shield changed shape again. Then the girl held the shield backwards, took a deep breath, and nodded to Rhode.

"Very good, let's get on!"

After receiving Anne's answer, Rhode did not hesitate. He drew out his long sword, then slid across a shadow with the man and the sword, and rushed straight towards the huge component in front of him.

“!!!”

Just as the two of them stepped into the room, the huge structure that had been silent seemed to have noticed their actions. The originally dim eyes suddenly became brighter. Then, with the spray of steam coming out, the huge structure began to move. It raised its hands high and smashed it hard towards Rhode!

The battle begins!
Chapter completed!
