The fog dissipates.

The town that had been covered with dust for many years once again appeared in the sunshine. With the death of shadows, the shadows that had always bound them also dissipated.

Rhode put away his sword and stared at the pile of white dust on the ground in front of him, which was left by the shadows. They emitted a soft light under the sunlight. Rhode was silent for a moment, then squatted down and took out a translucent, milky white gem from it.

The core of the soul.

It is not surprising that boss-level creatures will drop soul cores. After all, being qualified to become boss-level creatures has a certain degree of powerful magic. Over the years, it makes it easier for them to condense soul cores in their bodies than ordinary monsters. Now, this has become Rhode's spoil.

But Rhode did not waste much time on these things. He cleaned up quickly, then turned around and walked towards the entrance of the square with some fatigue. Although the battle with Youying did not consume too much physical strength, he was very mentally exhausted. Although Rhode did not show any expression on his face, his slightly heavy steps still showed this.

Seeing Rhode's figure reappear, Lijie and Mays finally breathed a sigh of relief. They hurried forward and asked him about his situation with concern. However, unexpectedly, Rhode's mood did not seem to be very high. He just responded to a few words in a simple manner, and then he opened up the topic and did not want to talk more.

Seeing Rhode's performance, Lijie and Mays looked at each other curiously, but did not ask more questions. They saw that Rhode's mood seemed not very high. Although they didn't know what happened to the shadow in the thick fog, it was obvious that Rhode did not intend to talk about this topic.

Lijie is a smart girl, and Mess is also a businessman who is used to scenes. Since Rhodes is in a bad mood, they are very conscious of shutting their mouths and not asking about this topic anymore.

In fact, the doubts about the shadow did not stay in their hearts for too long, because soon they focused on another thing--they were finally leaving this ghost place!

To be honest, it took only two or three days from the crash of the floating boat to the three of them leaving the mountain pass, but because of the difficulties along the way, they all felt that it had been like dozens of days. The dangerous forest, the sudden attack, the weird town, all the invisible pressure made people breathless.

It is precisely because of this that when the three of them saw the town at the foot of the mountain, even Rhode, who had always been calm, showed a look of relief, not to mention the fat businessman who was as excited as escaping from death and the excited Lijie.

Ximu Town is located at the foot of the Parfield Mountains. It is located in the border area and is a very peaceful place. In the game, it is close to the dusk forest, and it has always been a gathering place for novice players. Rhodes had been here for a while and was naturally very familiar with the grass and trees here. He could even call out the names of most people here casually - but walking on the quiet streets and looking at the characters who originally belonged to the game who turned into living humans at this moment, Rhodes was still a little weird.

Although everyone still has a lot to do, now, a soft and comfortable bed and delicious and sweet food are their most concerned. After filling their stomachs in the hotel in the town, the three of them couldn't wait to pierce their heads on the soft bed, and then fell into a deep dream.

When Rhode opened his eyes, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

The sunlight outside the window is soft and warm, and it spreads on the floor through the wooden windows, bringing a comfortable and lazy atmosphere.

"call…………"

Rhode breathed a sigh of relief, he stretched out his hand, carefully stared at the scars on it, and moved his body. The left chest was still vaguely painful, pulling Rhode's originally vague consciousness back to reality.

This is not a dream.

For the first time, Rhodes had a real sense of living in this world.

The life of the past few days was chaotic and dangerous, giving people a vague sense of unreality. Several times Rhode woke up from his dream and thought he was still dreaming. Those battles and monsters only subconsciously reflected in the dream after fighting too much. But now, when danger leaves and a peaceful life reappears in front of him, this real sense of reality becomes stronger and stronger.

So, where should I go?

"Dongdongdongdongdong."

A slightly low knock on the door interrupted Rhode's thoughts. He raised his head and looked at the door.

"Please come in."

Accompanied by Rhode's voice, the door slowly opened, and then the blonde girl walked in, holding a clean bandage in her hand and a basin of clear water. Seeing Rhode sitting on the bed, the girl first showed a gentle and lively smile, and then asked.

"Mr. Rod, how are you in good health?"

"It's fine, there's no problem."

Faced with the girl's concern, Rhode nodded slightly and expressed his gift. Although his performance was not very enthusiastic, Lijie was obviously used to Rhode's reaction, so she just smiled lightly and did not say anything more and came to Rhode's side and began to prepare for the job of changing the bandage.

Looking at the girl who lowered her head, Rhode also smiled bitterly in his heart. In fact, he didn't want to show more enthusiasm. It was meaningless to show a poker face. He was already past the age of pretending to be cool and handsome, which was not interesting.

But Rhodes could not change it, because of his deep-rooted habits. When he was still very young, because of this face similar to his sister, he was often ridiculed by his friends and classmates as "like a woman", which obviously was not a compliment for a man. Rhodes always cared about his face very much, so when he entered the Dragon Soul Continent, he did not choose advanced "scanning and reproducing" technology like many players, but chose the characters that came with the game. At that time, the young Rhodes had no way to fight, so he could only try his best to pretend to be a cold look and rarely smile to show that he was a man, not a weak woman.

This is the second-year period that everyone will have. With age, Rhode no longer sticks to such trivial matters. Unfortunately, he soon discovered that this seemed to have become a habit and could not be changed at all. In addition, he later became the president of the most powerful online game guild in the entire Dragon Soul Continent game, which forced him to choose a calm and introverted way of expressing himself to lead and manage the guild. Now that his personality has already formed, it is not so easy to change again.

But these are just minor issues.

The pain on the wound made Rhode retract his thoughts. He looked at the girl who was gently wiping the scars on his chest, but remembered another thing.

"Lijie."

"What's the matter? Mr. Rhode?"

"What are your plans next?"

Hearing Rhode's question, the girl's body trembled slightly, and her hand movements stopped slightly. Then, she sighed lightly and lowered her head helplessly.

"Frankly, I'm not sure, Mr. Rhode."

"Where is your companion? Do you have no place to go back?"

"Even if I go back, I'm the only one left..."

Speaking of this, Lijie's tone was a little low.

"And, the mercenary group is about to disband."

I see.

Hearing Lijie's story, Rhode finally understood her situation.

In the Dragon Soul Continent, the mercenary groups are divided into three levels. The lowest level is the mercenary team, most of which are five or six adventurers in a group, and no more than ten people at most. This kind of organization is very loose and there are no special regulations. As long as you have registered with the mercenary association, anyone can organize such a small team.

Next is the mercenary group, with at least ten people. Compared with those mercenary teams that are scattered and scattered, the mercenary group has entered a regular track. They not only have to fill in formal information and report to the mercenary association, but also get some help from the mercenary association, and even have their own strongholds.

And further up is the Mercenary Guild, whose number is more than 100. These Mercenary Guilds are not only strong, with their own strongholds and fortresses, but also receive direct support from the official or chamber of commerce. Some huge Mercenary Guilds even have their own territory and cities, and their influence is also quite outstanding.

The class division of these mercenary groups is not only reflected in strength and reputation, but it will even affect their evaluation when taking tasks. It is impossible for a mercenary team to receive guild-level tasks. Even if they want to take them, they will be directly rejected by the mercenary association. Even if they finally complete the task, they will not be recognized - of course, ordinary mercenary teams do not have the ability to complete guild-level tasks.

Although mercenary groups and mercenary guilds enjoy a lot of privileges, they are not without pressure. The mercenary association will rate them based on the danger and completion of tasks taken by each group. After a year, if the tasks are not completed enough points, the mercenary association will forcibly disband those mercenary groups that are not able to reach the passing line above. Even those mercenary guilds will be forced to be demoted to mercenary groups.

Lijie's depression is also related to this. The mercenary group she is in was originally just a dozen people, small and medium-sized group, but now because of this mission, she is only a survivor, and even the leader is dead. In this way, the mercenary group cannot maintain it at all. Although it is still spring and there is still a long time before the end of the year, Lijie herself has no way to support a mercenary group alone, let alone she is just a spiritual master and has no combat power. Even if she wants to do it alone, she is just a willing but not capable. From the current point of view, Lijie's mercenary group can only be disbanded obediently, and with the special auxiliary profession of spiritual master, it is not difficult for a girl to join other teams.

But now it seems that Lijie has no intention of leaving.

"You don't want to leave?"

Faced with Rhode's inquiry, the girl nodded with certainty.

"Yes, Mr. Rhodes, after all, they were the first to take me in, and, here, I have a relationship with everyone like my family... I, I really don't want this mercenary group to disappear."

Speaking of this, Lijie's eyes turned red, but she bit her lower lip but did not shake it.

"They have left, at least... at least I hope the proof they have been working hard to stay."

"But as far as the situation is concerned, if you can't find enough staff, it's only a matter of time before the mercenary group dissolves."

"Yes."

Lijie did not avoid this, and she herself knew the problem, but the girl did not mean to give up.

"But I still don't want to give up, Mr. Rhodes. As you said to me before, since I am alive, I must do something meaningful. Although I don't know how much I can do for it now, I still hope to give it a try."

Looking at the girl's firm expression, Rhode suddenly came up with an idea. He was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Since that's the case, I have a proposal."

"What proposal? Mr. Rhode?"

Hearing Rhode's words, Lijie hurriedly raised her head and looked at him nervously. Although she had been in contact with Rhode for a few days, his knowledgeable and powerful strength left a deep impression on Lijie. Whether it is the Wind Snake, Silver Wolf or Ghost, they are monsters that Lijie has never met or even heard of. Don't talk about her, Lijie is sure that many mercenaries have never seen these monsters, but Rhode knows their weaknesses and habits very well, which is simply unimaginable. She did not guess as bored as Metz to guess who Rhode's true identity is. There is no need to be among adventurers. As long as he knows that he is very powerful, it is enough.

Although Lijie thought she had prepared enough mentally, Rhode's next words still made her wide-eyed in surprise and unable to speak.

"Take me the mercenary group if you want."
