Chapter 228 The Peak of Unicorns
In the end, Labis did not let Rhode wait for too long. At dawn, the girl recovered from ease. Naturally, she did not tell Rhode what happened. On the contrary, when explaining the reason why she fainted, the girl always looked panicked, feeling like she was not silver here. Especially in the end, the girl felt that she could not make up for herself, and she had nothing else to say except to say sorry...
However, Rhode obviously did not intend to make too much trouble on such trivial matters. The most important reason is that the Peak of the Unicorn is already in front of him. No matter what secret Labis concealed, Rhode is sure that as long as he reaches the Peak of the Unicorn, he can find the answer.
The Peak of Unicorn is located in the southwest border of the Parfield Plain. It is deserted and is a place for wild beasts to live in. Of course, like other rarely visited places, there is also a piece of ancient ruins hidden under the Peak of Unicorns, which are common in all parts of the Dragon Soul Continent. This is especially true in this era of magical prosperity. Cities that were destroyed by powerful magic or some huge explosions will sink deep into the ground and turn into cold and stiff corpses until later generations dig their bodies and get what they need.
The corpse collector.
Come to the bottom of the Unicorn Peak and look up at the steep mountain in front of you. Rhode couldn't help but chuckled deep in his heart. The top of the mountain in front of you was sharp and beautiful. From a distance, it looked like a unicorn that was about to rise from the clouds and fog, so the name of the mountain came from this. However, in Rhode's view, it was like a coffin that placed a corpse. Every time he explored these underground ruins, Rhode would feel this way, as if these ruins themselves were not
They were the corpses that had been dead for a long time, and they were the gravediggers. They roughly opened the coffin and then plundered the burial objects that buried the corpses in the coffin. From this point of view, players were even worse than those of the Overian scholars. The latter would at least protect the remains. However, for players like Rhodes, the exquisite murals and complex ancient texts on the walls and stone pillars were obviously not as meaningful as those of equipment and weapons shining with magical glory.
"Dear sir."
Just as Rhodes was wandering outside the sky, a voice pulled him back into reality. Rhodes turned around and looked at him. He saw the old scholar standing beside him, staring at him.
"We have arrived at the destination. Look..."
"keep going."
Rhode answered without hesitation. He knew what the old man in front of him was worried about. Although according to ordinary mercenaries, he should camp on the spot at this time. He rested on the spot and sent someone to explore the four weeks before moving forward. However, there was no need for Rhode. Those scholars were eager to get what they needed as soon as possible, and Rhode was the same. He had been to the ruins of the Unicorn Peak, so he knew everything here. However, Rhode did not know that this ruins would actually be related to the structural chain assembly. But it was no wonder that players could translate ancient words like these NPCs like these NPCs.
If Rhodes were the only one, even if he had news of building a suit, he would have to consider whether he had time. Now that there is so much free labor here, Rhodes certainly doesn't mind accepting their hard work. Of course, the faster the better.
"I will divide my people into two groups. I will lead some people to sweep the dangers that are likely to occur in the ruins, and the other people will protect you. You can do everything you want, but I will declare in advance that if I find any danger, I will take you out immediately. No matter how valuable you find, it is meaningless if you die, isn't it?"
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Rhode."
Rhodes' answer was obviously beyond the expectations of the old scholars. He walked on the mainland with his students and fought and taught many mercenary groups, but these mercenary groups obviously did not understand how important their actions were to this continent. Even when exploring ruins, many times old scholars had to argue with reason to ensure that their research could proceed smoothly. Those mercenaries did not understand the meaning of the ancient languages and murals they translated, and even disdained them. The holy souls were above. When the old scholars thought of this, they were heartbroken. History gave them such a rich treasure, but they did not know how to cherish and respect them.
Originally, the old man thought that Rhodes was as difficult as those mercenary commanders. After all, to be fair, from the other party's perspective, the mercenary commander's decision was actually not wrong. They did work hard for rewards, but voluntarily sent to death was another matter. It was not surprising to be cautious when facing these unknown relics. However, he did not expect that Rhodes was so considerate of himself, and actually agreed to their conditions and made his own suggestions, which made the old scholar feel much more relaxed. It was rumored that the mercenary commander was a nobleman, and the old scholar did not care before, but now it seems that he did agree with this opinion. Only those knowledgeable nobles can understand the meaning of these murals and words, but......
Thinking of this, the old scholar was a little uneasy, but soon he shook his head and threw the uneasiness in his heart aside.
Complete your responsibilities is the most important priority at present. Besides that, let’s talk about it later.
After answering the old scholar's questions, Rhode turned around and came to the mercenaries, and then he waved. Soon, Shana and Kavos came to him.
"Captain, what are your instructions?"
"Let them sort it out and we will continue to set off without rest."
"Continue to go?"
Hearing Rhode's order, the two were stunned. They looked at each other, and then Shana asked with some uncertainty.
"But... Commander, is this a little too risky? We are here for the first time and don't know what this ruin is. We should send someone to investigate first, and then talk about it..."
"Although this is OK, it will be a waste of time. I have made a decision, you just need to execute it."
When they heard Rhode's answer, they couldn't help but look at each other. If it were someone else, such an answer would definitely not be able to satisfy them. However, Rhode's long-standing combat experience made the two former mercenary commanders choose to shut up. In any case, the other party was also the one who led them to kill the demons in the Black Stone Abyss. It was impossible for any problem in such a thing.
It is precisely because of this that although Shana and Kavos were still a little uneasy, they finally shut up and said nothing more.
"very good."
Seeing that the two of them no longer questioned their orders, Rhode nodded slightly, and then he began to assign tasks.
"Cabos, you lead a team of people with me. We are responsible for cleaning the ruins. Don't worry, I know very well about the situation of the Unicorn Peak. There are no particularly troublesome monsters here..." As he said this, Rhode paused for a moment, and then recalled the distribution of monsters in the unicorn Peak ruins in his mind. Well, yes, it's no particularly troublesome monsters--for him.
"Shana."
Retracting his thoughts, Rhode soon turned to the red-haired mercenary on the other side.
"You are responsible for leading the remaining people to protect the 'cargo'. After we clean it up, they can enter the ruins. But you have to be careful not to let your people or their people touch something that should not be touched. If there is any problem or trouble, you can ask Qilian. I will let her be with you. If you have any questions, you can ask her. If Qilian has any orders, you can follow them and treat them as my order."
"Yes, sir."
Shana had no choice but to resist Rhode's order. She also knew very well that although Qi Lian seemed to be the latest to join the mercenary group, she was definitely the most familiar with Rhode. Not only Marlin, but other people in the mercenary group could also see that when they were with Qi Lian, Rhode would always make jokes or make some intimate actions that he would not make on weekdays. He had never even done these actions with others. Of course, another exception was Christie.
Moreover, Qi Lian's powerful strength was there. In the circle of mercenaries, which was highly respected by her fight last night, just relying on her battle last night, it was enough for people to respect her enough. Even now, Shana could not help but tremble when she thought about it. The holy soul was on it. She had never seen such a terrible scene since she was born. The rolling flames burst out and spread to every corner of the camp, mercilessly involved those invaders, and instantly turned into ashes. Then, with Qi Lian's light action, the fire that seemed to be getting more and more intense, almost burning the entire forest suddenly disappeared, as if she had returned to the girl like life, and then completely disappeared. Even if she could not feel a trace of warmth in the air, it made people feel chill.
The chill made Shana tremble all over when she thought about it.
"very good."
I don't know how Rhodes understood the reactions of the two, but after confirming that they had no objections, Rhodes clapped his hands.
"Now, you can go and act."
At the same time, he secretly issued an order to Qilian in his mind.
………Remember to keep an eye on those guys for me, and report it immediately if they did anything, and there is Labis.
Of course, Master, please rest assured, everything is in my control.
The reply to him was Qi Lian as usual, full of careful answers.
Chapter completed!
