Chapter 57 The other side of the chessboard

The soft sunlight passed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and sprinkled on the pure white floor. The girl narrowed her eyes slightly and lie half on the soft sofa, enjoying her leisure time in the afternoon.

The rippling lake water outside the window made a moving echo under the caress of the wind. The green branches danced slightly, adding accompaniment with a rustling sound. The gorgeous and precious crystal chandeliers exuded the brilliance of magic. On both sides of the brilliant golden hall, the beautiful paintings hanging on the walls and exquisitely made sculptures shine together. Just standing here, it seems like stepping into the palace of art.

The door carved with the nine-winged bird opened quietly. Then, a noble woman in formal clothes walked in, stepped across the red carpet, and came to the girl lying on the sofa, half-kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness."

"Um?"

Hearing the woman's call, the girl opened her eyes slightly, and a bit of laziness and playfulness appeared in her emerald green eyes. Three pairs of white and flawless light wings wrapped around her beautiful, slender and charming body like a gentle thin sha. The snow-white and slender legs were revealed from it, stretching out with the charm of tempting crime.

The long golden hair shawls down, and emits a faint glow under the sunlight, as dazzling as a crown.

"What's the matter? Kelol."

"Everything is ready, and the Merchant Association has also completed the processing. I just wait for your Highness to give orders, we..."

The woman did not finish her words, because at this moment, she had already seen the girl close her eyes again. So based on her understanding of the Your Highness in front of her, she quickly stopped and waited for the other party's order.

“The branches and leaves are really disgusting.”

Closed his eyes slightly, the girl said while stretching out her hand and stroking the black cat that was as lazy as she was in her arms, curled up in a ball.

"But with them as nutrients, the newly born young seedlings will bloom with gorgeous flowers. It is a very inconsistency in the growth process of beautiful things, and I don't like it."

"I understand, Your Highness."

Although the girl seemed to have no end, the woman seemed to understand what she said quite well, and only nodded her head to show her understanding. But soon, she looked embarrassed again.

“………Recent reports from the Parfield area, rats from the Council…”

“Just go with them.”

The girl put down the hand that touched the black cat and sighed.

"My lovely subordinates should know what to do. There must be such tacit understanding between the monarch and the ministers to be called wonderful. Qualified ministers will definitely understand what I mean. Only flowers that are willing to experience the wind and rain with their heads raised are qualified to accept the glory of favor. I believe they know what to do."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After hearing the woman's answer, the girl showed a playful smile.

"I'm so busy for so long, I believe you must be very tired. So, how about coming to have a cup of tea with me? This is the fresh black tea I just sent recently, and it will definitely suit your taste."

"Thank you for your good wishes."

"You are too polite, Kelol, but because of this, you are so lovely... Come on, you are too far there, how about getting closer?"

"Your Highness..."

The wind is getting louder.

It was not until he returned to Deep Rock City that Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

When they left, everyone did not encounter any obstacles. As Marin said, the undead creatures rely entirely on the power given by the dominant to maintain their existence. Therefore, when the necromancer completely disappeared, the undead creatures outside also returned to the dust.

This mission can be said to be a joy. Rhodes created the soul core he needed, Lijie also obtained the Holy Book, and even Old Walker also obtained a cloak with elemental resistance.

However, on the issue of the distribution of Dark Souls, Rhodes and Marlene had a small disagreement.

In the Dragon Soul Continent, the characteristics of rare props are generally divided into two types. One is that they have some rare and rare skills themselves. The other is that they can greatly improve the holder's attributes. Rhode's Star Scar Sword belongs to the latter, while Dark Soul is the complete former. It has a skill that has received great praise among players - Shadow Mist Move.

Shadow Fog Move: The holder can create a dark shadowed area. When the holder is in it, he can move regardless of distance and obstacles, obtain the "hidden" feature, and release the effect after the entity is attacked.

It can be said that this skill is a limited edition small-scale space movement. In the game, this is a very rare item. Firstly, its level is a "rare" level, and secondly, for players other than mages, it is rare to have fast moving skills, and Shadow Fog Move can make up for this very well. Moreover, when encountering danger and escaping, Shadow Fog Move can also allow players to escape from the battle at the first time, and then leisurely and freely. The only disadvantage is that it must be within the shadow range to work, but for players who spend most of their time on underground adventures, this is nothing at all.

Although this is a very rare and useful prop, Rhodes is not the kind of black guy who can be equipped with black people. He simply explained the functions of the Dark Soul to Marlene, and then asked her if she needed it.

But he did not expect that although Marin heard what he said, she still expressed disdain for it. Her reason was also very simple. First, she was a Central Witcher, and she only had more and less spells to save her life. Second, Marin felt that this skill was not as powerful as Rhodes said. You should know that when he started a war with the necromancer, he used this skill to hide his figure, and as a result, he was picked out by Rhodes's sword. Marin's belief was that things that were not mastered by him were not trustworthy. From this point of view, she obviously did not believe in the power of a magic ring, but instead believed in the spells she mastered more. So in the end, Rhodes took the ring.

I really don’t know if those players who are eager for this ring know that they would rather buy it at a sky-high price. Rare equipment that is priceless is not even worthy of trust in the eyes of an indigenous person. I don’t know what expression they would have.

"Thanks to Mr. Rod for his help."

At this time, Shanna's complexion improved a lot. Although the attack of the undead mage was very poisonous, the red-haired mercenary was not a novice after all. He still avoided the vital points at the critical moment. Although the pierced shoulders require good rest, as long as they recover, there will be no serious trouble.

However, compared to Rhodes and others who had a great harvest, the Red Eagle Mercenary Group suffered heavy losses this time. They turned the necromancer's nest down, but did not find the sword that the client entrusted them to come and find, which made Shana very discouraged. However, it was an expected result for Rhodes, because in his memory, all the equipment released in Pavel Cemetery was magic professions, and never heard of a task related to swords. When they first heard about it, Rhodes thought it was an exclusive task belonging to NPC, and players were not qualified to participate, so he didn't know. But now it seems that things are really strange...

"Miss Shana, are you sure the client wants you to find a sword?"

"Yes."

Sighing, Shana shook her head helplessly.

"He said that it was the heirloom of their family, and was later taken away by Pavel because he entrusted us to search. And according to the peace agreement, he also paid us a deposit of 150 gold coins. I think there should be no fake one, but... now that I can't find the sword, I don't know what to do."

No wonder Shana didn't doubt it, because according to the mercenary rules, they did not need to refund the deposit after receiving the commission. In other words, no matter whether the task was successful or failed, the money was taken away by them, and the client could not get it back. Therefore, in many cases, the client only paid a small deposit as a symbolic meaning, and the remaining part was made up after the task was completed. This time the other party paid 150 gold coins at once, which was enough to compensate for the previous ordinary three-star mission. With such a generous reward, it was no wonder that Sha didn't suspect that the other party would lie to him. After all, who would be bored and have nothing to do to spend so much money to find her happiness?

But it is useless to say this now. After all, Shana did not find the sword. According to the description, Rhode speculated that it should be an ancient sword. This kind of thing is not much more or less in the game. Most of them are vases with symbolic significance than actual use. Although that is said, the mission failed and she lost several companions. The red-haired mercenary was in a very depressed mood. She forced herself to say goodbye to Rhode and others, and then dragged her exhausted body toward the mercenary association. The others followed her, only Barney, the idiot, was carried behind by the shield warrior. The poor little guy has not woken up yet after being beaten up by Rhode. However, if Rhode guessed correctly, he would not be able to wake up for a day.

After watching Shanna and others' backs disappear into the corner, Rhode's eyes turned cold.

"They were cheated."

Then, Rhode said with great certainty.

"Why?"

Hearing Rhode's words, Lijie opened her eyes wide in surprise, and even Old Walker frowned in confusion.

"What's wrong? Little kid? You said Shana and the others were cheated? What's going on?"

“It’s very simple.”

Faced with the two of them’s doubts, Rhode shrugged.

"If it is true that the client said that it is the heirloom of their family, then he cannot only entrust these mercenaries to come, but he does not appear at all."

"That's right."

Marlene nodded on the side and agreed.

"For our nobles, the heirloom treasure is also the spirit of the family, and it is the supreme glory of the family. If this glory is lost, then as family members, we must recover it as soon as possible. If the transmission of the Shania family is lost or robbed, even if I will entrust mercenaries to find it, then I must follow it. Only when the blood of the family regains the glory as soon as possible will they be qualified to be respected by the whole clan. Otherwise, even if we regain the glory, we will receive the alms from others. This is an intolerable stain for any famous noble. I do not believe that a family with heirloom treasure will be a newly emerging nouveau riche. As Mr. Rhodes said, there must be problems inside."

“Yes, what’s the problem?”

Hearing this, Lijie immediately became nervous. After all, Shana was also her good friend. Now that she heard that she might be in danger, the girl naturally could not be calm anymore.

"I have no idea."

Rhode shook his head, then he raised his head and looked at the city of ore in front of him thoughtfully.

"But I might have some clues."

Then, he said.
