Although for Rhodes, he was in a bad mood without being able to heal Chris ’s body, but except for this, everything went well. After the banquet, Guild Leader Torn of Mercenary Association also officially recognized Rhodes' Starlight Mercenary Group 1 No, it should be renamed Starlight Guild now, and formally responsible for mercenary of Parfield Area.
"Mr. Rhodes Ellant, on behalf of Mercenary Association, I officially announced here that starting today, Starlight will be promoted to Mercenary Guild, and I hope you can inherit the will of mercenaries and move forward bravely."
Torn both hands raise raised a beautifully crafted long sword to Rhodes'. The face Rhodes owes a little to the body and respectfully received the beautifully decorated long sword. This is exactly a sign that Mercenary Group has been promoted to guild. It also represents that from now on, Rhodes and his team will officially become Parfield Plains All mercenary goals and Leader.
After becoming Mercenary Guild, Starlight ’s status and power will be greatly upgrade. First of all, as a guild, Starlight will have the power after Mercenary Association in Parfield Area, including the implementation of some relatively important and dangerous quest At that time, after obtaining the permission of Association {, Mercenary Guild can summon those small Mercenary Groups to fight together. Not only that, when guild sensed that Mercenary Group might make threatening actions that threaten mercenary and local security, as long as the evidence is conclusive, they can even request Forced dissolution of this Mercenary Group, of course, the most radical of these is that if necessary, guild can use force to eliminate it completely.
This is exactly the relationship between Mercenary Association and guild. As a large cross-border organization, the implementation of strength by Mercenary Association itself is actually not sufficient. After all, this is a countertop job, and most of them are civilian staff, which also leads to Association's deterrent is extremely reduced. Even if there are some expert sitting in town, but they are only one person, it is impossible to take a pinch of hair like Sun Wukong and divide themselves into hundreds of thousands to maintain Mercenary Group's Order. And after joint with guild, Mercenary Guild's powerful combat ability can make up for Association's lack of execution. With the permission of Association, Mercenary Guild can also obtain a part of the power, and both parties take their own needs, which is naturally a pleasant cooperation.
"I assure you, Torn Guild Leader, I will lead the starlight and continue to move forward, we will not abandon our companions, nor will we venture to death and danger, we will be with the glory of the battle, for glory Fight against faith. "
Taking the sword, Rhodes whispered. Hearing Rhodes''s answer, Torn nodded with satisfaction, although in the previous Midsummer Festival competition, Rhodes''s actions made the Association President adult somewhat dissatisfied, but at this moment he heard Rhodes's advanced answer, and he had a lot of good feelings for this youngster. Not to mention, Rhodes also objectively helped Torn to eliminate a threat, otherwise if he lost the game and let Waltz win, then Torn may not have any free time standing here to hold any ceremony.
Thinking of this, Torn can't help but showed a friendly smile, then he coughed, and then unfolded a map in front of Rhodes'. This is a map of Moon Dukedom, and the most striking is the four marks on it
That's exactly the Four Big Mercenary Guilds badge. They are located in the four corners of the map, and they look very conspicuous.
"You work hard, you should get the glory and reward of victory."
Torn said, reaching out and pointing to the map in front of him.
"Now, it's time for you to receive your reward, Mr. Rhodes."
After hearing Torn's speech, Rhodes raised his head, he carefully watched the map in front of him, and then sighed in his heart.
Compared to the written provisions, this is the discount that really falls into place
After Mercenary Group is upgraded to guild, they have the right to build a real Fortress in their own area. At the same time, the maximum number of Mercenary Guild recruits can reach 700.
This Fortress Not before Rhodes The kind built Stronghold Comparable, in Dragon Soul Continent In order to avoid damage to civilians by armed forces and to prevent these people from gathering to threaten the power of rule Mercenary Guild Clear regulation ,non Mercenary Guild Can only build ordinary Stronghold , And their number cannot exceed one hundred, and these Stronghold No buildings with aggressive capabilities. Once found Mercenary Group Violation, then the local authority can be "forcibly demolished". That's why Rhodes Before building Mercenary Group Stronghold At that time, there were only poor walls and gates until he upgraded to Mercenary Guild Only then did the system unlock the outpost and tower The reason for such buildings.
And in terms of area, Stronghold and Fortress are also different. The Stronghold of Mercenary Group is not allowed to exceed the scope of a small manor at most, but the maximum range of Fortress of Mercenary Guild can be as large as a small town. Of course, where Mercenary Guild wants to build Fortress, it's not up to them. They must first submit an application, and then be approved by the authority and recognized by Mercenary Association before they can formally start construction.
In return, Mercenary Guild enjoys a certain degree of additional immunity in their Fortress. They can make some local laws that do not involve and violate national regulations. Of course, once there are provisions that threaten to rule rank, Then the same will be hit.
"I have made a decision, Master Association President."
Without much hesitation, Rhodes quickly extended a finger, and then he pointed to the northeast corner of Parfield Area on the map. Torn looked in the direction of Rhodes' hand, first froze for a moment, then he immediately frowned, and somewhat surprised stared at Rhodes.
"This is ..., Land of Redemption? Are you sure? Mr. Rhodes? Do you know where it is? Although I should not have a biased view as Association President, but frankly, I do n’t think it will Is a good place. "
"I have decided, Master Association President."
Facing Torn's euphemistic dissuasion, Rhodes just shook his head politely, but did not change his opinion. Of course he knows exactly where Land of Redemption is, but because of this, Rhodes chose where x is only in that place, he can make the most of all the resources he currently has.
"Since you have already made a decision, I will not say much."
Looking at Rhodes obviously does not intend to follow the advice, and Torn will not say much in this regard. He took out his pen, circled it in detail, and then solemnly put away the map.
"Then Mr. Rhodes, I will report your choice to Your Highness, as long as she waits for her approval, then you can go to Land of Redemption and build your own Fortress Stronghold. However, I still hope you can do what you can. Mercenary Guild's courage is very heavy. "
"Your advice, I must bear it in mind, Master Association President."
After hearing the advice of Torn, Rhodes faintly nodded, he understood the meaning of Torn. Although on the surface, Mercenary Guild is very beautiful, with its own territory and its own power, it seems that it can be rampant in the countryside. But in fact, the opposite is true. Because only one Mercenary Guild is allowed in each region, and because of the cooperative nature between guild and Association, Mercenary Guild will largely become the mercenary Order maintainer of the entire region. You need to know that there are nearly thirty Mercenary Groups in an area, and these Mercenary Groups are distributed in various places in the area. I want to ensure that no accidents occur in each place, and also ensure that Mercenary Group between various areas does not conflict. It is also very difficult for an ordinary guild to ensure his absolute authority and influence in this area.
This is why those guild will eventually seek power and Major Chamber of Commerce to provide support for themselves. one by one. You let a group of mercenary who only knows to shout and kill all of a sudden will change from Ranger at ease to Protector in the entire region This is also too difficult for most mercenary with simple ideas. What's more, the line mercenary was originally an industry where input and output were not proportional. It's a good mix, and good luck, and it's not a worry to be able to make a lot of money for retirement.
It ’s not a good mix, and I ’m almost out of luck, at least it ’s also the level of homelessness.
Unfortunately, native is not player, you can run corpses indefinitely after death, so for them, it is very common for them to have nothing to lose and return home.
Looking at the "undead event" of Parfield this time, we can see that just one quest made many long-established Mercenary Groups finally have to choose to dissolve and force dissolve. This is precisely because they did not resist this at all. The strength of risk.
The strength of Mercenary Guild is stronger than Mercenary Group, so they will not have any loss in general small risks, but if they encounter those larger risks, they will also have this problem.
But this risk Mercenary Guild is unavoidable, because according to regulation of Mercenary Association, every Mercenary Guild must complete at least two Mercenary Quest of 5-Star level (most high level), otherwise it will be forced to disband and fail to be allowed, No delay is allowed. Hiller's Burning Blade is stuck on this rigid regulation, and it has been planted twice, so every year his Burning Blade rises and falls, falls and rises, rises and falls again.
Because of this, although Rhodes' Starlight has now been officially promoted to guild, many people are not very optimistic about his future. But in any case, this is at least the first step he took.
And after leaving Mercenary Association, Rhodes was in the hall soon and saw two people who were not strangers or familiar.
"Frankly speaking, I think this is really too reluctant for you brat."
Bartel sipped his wine while flapping Rhodes' on the shoulder, and said with a big laugh.
"Although there is half a year from now until the winter rest period, brat" ... "How do you complete two 5-Star grade Mercenary Quest in half a year? These quest are not simpler than those you received at Mercenary Group ... "
"He would lose a lot by underestimating him, Mitel."
Victor stands on the other side, watching Rhodes with an elegant, calm smile as always.
"Like the two hometowns of Mobis and Waltz ... At the beginning, we didn't expect them to lose the game, especially the old guy of Waltz, but even Lawson moved out, the result?"
"Yeah, Lawson ..............."
Hearing the name, Bartel narrowed the smile on his face. He put down his glass and sighed with emotion.
"Speaking of which, I really don't like this old bastard, but ... Hey, forget it, there is nothing to say."
"Do n’t say me, aren't you two the same?"
Although Rhodes is not in a good mood because of Chris, it is fortunate that his poker face gave Rhodes the greatest protection, so even if the Rhodes is expressionless, others will not realize that he is not very emotional . And Rhodes didn't complain about anything. 1 He also figured it out. It's already the case, and it's useless to sigh. Since Lydia can't help Chris, it can only take one step at a time. In any case, life has to go on. Just because one or two things are not in your own mind, it behaves like End of the World, but it is not Rhodes' philosophy of life.
"Un? What do you mean?"
"Of course quest."
Hearing the confusing rhetorical question of Bartel, Rhodes can't help but got eyebrow raised.
"Indeed, we have no preparation for 5-Star grade quest, but you are the same, Mr. Bartel? For this Midsummer Festival 1 I think you have no time and mood to prepare quest, are you?"
After hearing Rhodes' rhetorical questions, Victor and Bittel are both can't help staring.
In fact, Rhodes is right, not only they, for the victory of the Midsummer Festival, the husband Mercenary Guild has not made any preparations for this year's 5-Star class quest. They put all their energy on the Midsummer Festival competition, and at this time of the day, the major Mercenary Guild should have already started preparing for quest. Because the 5-Star level quest can be difficult to do, it is placed on the player side. That is all the Dungeon of the hero level. It is not uncommon for a team with insufficient skills and consciousness to go through a dozen or twenty times.
It was still player, and resurrect after death. Put it on these native, don't say destroy ten times, three times they will be completely finished.
Because of this, all major Mercenary Guilds are very cautious about 5-Star grade quest, and will even make the best preparations for several months in advance. At that time, even if one hundred of them go to quest, only fifty or sixty It ’s already a big victory if I come back personally
And this is a bit stronger than native than player. Dungeon has a limit for the number of player teams, but not for native. Because of this, many Dungeon that require player must enter 50 people and 100 people. After entering player, it is not surprising to find hundreds of NPC bodies inside .........,
"But we are different from you, brat."
Bartel shook his head, patted the shoulder of Rhodes', and took a bottle of wine on the side table.
"To be honest, we did not make preparations, but we are not afraid to tell you the truth. We have people, brat. In the past, in order to avoid too much trouble, we did not send more than one hundred people to perform quest. Now it is a bit troublesome. , But I believe that, with our strength, as long as one hundred more people are sent, then you can certainly get the word, but you? brat? How many people are your Mercenary Group up to now? "
Say here, Bartel can't help but chuckled.
"Or do you plan to play yourself? It's not easy? I admit that you are really strong, but brat, this 5-Star level appointment ..." ... but you can't do it alone. "
I certainly understand this.
After hearing Bartel ’s depression on himself, Rhodes ’s rolled the eyes, who is not angry, how could he not know this? However, what Pittel said is also true. With the strength of Rhodes Mercenary Group, it is indeed very difficult to want to do 5-Star level quest. After all, Rhodes as an Legendary player, he has done almost every 5-Star level quest. Rhodes knows how difficult these 5-Star grade quest is. It's not just that BOSS is so powerful-Elite mobs is the most troublesome trouble. In the face of that scene 1, what superb skills, coquettish positioning, elegant techniques are all scum, and it is the most practical to get people to fight against it.
Unless ...............
Thinking of this, Rhodes suddenly eyes turned, got an idea.
"So, Mr. Victor, Mr. Bartel, shall we make a bet?"
"Gamble?"
Hearing the word Rhodes', the two immediately raised their heads, looking at youngster in curiosity and doubt.
"What bet."
"If we Starlight Guild can rush to complete the two 5-Star-level quest before you two" 11 ..., then I hope that the two of you can meet my small requirement. "
"Hey, you brat, are you kidding me when you tell a joke?"
Here, stared wide-eyed of Bartel can't help being surprised.
"This ..............."
However, he has n’t finished speaking yet. He has been standing by. The silent Victor suddenly reached out to stop Bartel ’s speech, and then he carefully watched the Rhodes and asked in front of him.
"So, Mr. Rhodes, your request is .........?"
"It's very simple."
Speaking of this, Rhodes spread out both hands.
"I only hope that the two of you will help me open up a small commercial trading channel within your jurisdiction."
"What do you want that thing to do?"
When I heard the request from Rhodes', Bartel brows wrinkled, I got a little boring. And Victor is eyes hang down and starts to think. Soon, he looked up again and looked at Rhodes.
"However, even if you lose this bet, it is not good for us, is it? Mr. Rhodes, Parfield Area is nothing we want."
"That's right."
After hearing Victor's answer, Rhodes was very calm about nodded, and then he glanced at Bartel.
"Frankly speaking, I'm just angry, but some people are so sure that we will be unlucky."
"Hahaha, are you brat still angry? Why did n’t I see it?"
Bartel laughed, he reached out and pointed at the expressionless face of Rhodes, and laughed heartily.
"Look at your dead face, brat, do n’t laugh when you laugh, do n’t cry when you cry, who knows what you think about it. Is it fun to do this all day? I see you brat still It ’s better to learn the Assassin and find a mask to cover your face, which is always better than it is now, is n’t it? ”
Speaking of this, Bartel smashed his fist hard.
"Okay, I took this challenge, brat, but in case you lose, I want you brat to put on women's clothes and pour wine with a smile. Hehehe, looks like a woman, I still I really want to see what it looks like if you really wear brat as a woman. "
"………………"
After hearing this sentence, Rhodes' frowned slightly. Although he still had no expression on his face, a cold chill had been slowly released from at Rhodes' side.
"Okay, Mr. Bartel ..., if that's the case, then if I win this bet, I also expect you to put on women's clothing and pour me wine" I think that must be an unforgettable scene for me . By the way, I have to designate the clothing myself.
"I have no problem."
Victor and slightly nodded.
"But I do n’t need this boring bet, Mr. Rhodes, if you can really complete the 5-Star level quest twice before the two of us, then ..............."
Speaking of this, Victor ’s words did n’t finish, because at this time, a servant came to his side and whispered something to Victor, and when he heard the servant ’s words, Victor was slightly surprised, and then He looked up and tweeted nodded to the two.
"I'm sorry, Bartel, Mr. Rhodes, I still have something important, take a step first" ... "Bartel, I can't participate in that boring bet."
After finishing this sentence, Victor turned and left.
"It's really boring."
Looking at the figure of Victor going away, Miguel shrugged his shoulders helplessly, then he put down the empty bottle in his hand, and then picked up a bottle of wine from the table next to it Rhodes shook.
"Then, your bet will come next. If I really lose, no matter what you want me to wear. But if I win ... Hehehe, I look forward to that scene. But it ’s Okay, today is a happy day, saying that these boring topics are boring, how about it? Would you like to have a competition between men? It looks like a girl, it does n’t drink like a girl. ? That's why I laughed. "
"……………………,"
Hearing Bartel ’s words, Rhodes did n’t speak. On the contrary, he just raised his wine glass in silence.
