Under this old man account, Rhodes soon understood the ins and outs of things.
In fact, things are not complicated. The reason is that the frozen lake is quest. Before Rhodes, many Mercenary Guilds have come here for so many years and have had their luck. However, because that Ice Demon is very troublesome and difficult to deal with, many Mercenary Guilds are black feathers. In return, this is not surprising for Rhodes. If those people succeeded, where can they get their turn to complete this quest?
The problem is with these failed mercenary.
These mercenarys failed to destroy Ice Demon and patted their **** and left, but they suffered the residents living near the frozen lake. Although those mercenarys were defeated in the face of Ice Demon, in any case, they all played with Ice Demon, and awakened Ice Demon from a deep sleep. ——— Any life is awakened by someone when they are asleep. Good temper, and those mercenary can pat the **** and leave, but these residents have to face the anger of Ice Demon. Although the Ice Demon enclosed under the frozen lake cannot leave the lake, it can make some low level water element monster to harass nearby Villages and towns, connected several times, made the residents of Green Tree Town miserable. Not only that, after each battle with mercenaries, Ice Demon will absorb the water from the water source to make up for its own losses. This has also caused the villages and towns by the frozen lake to have no water available, ranging from one month to more than half a year. These residents will face the dilemma of no water. Although they can also go to the frozen lake to break the ice there, but everyone knows that there is a terrible monster underneath. Will there be any problem eating the water there? These townsmen are naturally worried.
from the beginning, these townspeople can still grind their teeth and endure. In any case, as long as this monster can be eliminated, everything will return to normal. But after so many years, Ice Demon has not been eliminated, and these residents finally can't stand it anymore. Although life in the past was also very hard, but when mercenaries didn't come to provoke Ice Demon, they could still live anyway, and people's adaptability was very strong. But now, time and time again and again, failures have made these residents miserable, and that is why. For the mercenaries who came here to kill Ice Demon, the attitude of the town residents has changed from a warm welcome at the beginning to a cold watch, and now it has become a passive opposition. They have been fed up with the hard days of being tortured by Ice Demon. Anyway, that monster has been in the frozen lake for so many years, and has not taken the initiative to do anything to them other than sleeping. Isn't it the same to live with it? It's better than letting those rough mercenary anger it now, and then letting yourself bear the anger.
After listening to old man, the next mercenaries is embarrassed. Most of the mercenaries are the bottom people, so they can better understand the mood of these townspeople. Previously, because of their different positions, most of these mercenarys initially thought about the rewards they would get after completing quest. If they could not complete quest, they naturally only paid attention to their losses. As for the residents here, to be honest, mercenaries didn't think about it at all. After all, in their view, these residents are just employers who pay, and the dangerous work still has to be done by themselves. There is no life threatening, what can be done? !
At the moment, Lì Jie is frowning, a little embarrassed. Although she was also born in Royal Family, after all, she left Golden City wandering around very childhood, and naturally understands the mentality of the people at the bottom. If I change to Marlene, I am afraid I ca n’t understand why these people would rather endure hardship here than leave this ghost place. In her view, this is a bitter cold place, so dangerous, so why not move with the family? It is impossible to understand Marlene in any way if it is to hang in this place.
When I heard the words of old man, Rhodes also pondered a little. He did n’t understand the thoughts of these people, but this time quest must be completed by himself. This is the simplest one for Starlight in 5-Star quest. If you give up this quest, then it will be very troublesome.
In fact, the reason why the previous mercenary failed to defeat Ice Demon cannot blame their weak strength. Mercenary Guild is not Mercenary Group. Any Mercenary Guild has two or three expert. If there are people who look down on this 5-Star level quest at the beginning, then in the back, Each large guild is also elaborate, and there is no reason to fail such a scourge. The reason is that these guild simply did not lead to the real body of Ice Demon. Ice Demon is also a mid-level monster in Water Element Plane, its own strength is can't be looked down on, not to mention that element creature mostly has the ability to manipulate and create the same element creature lower than its own rank, and Ice Demon occupies the water source of Cranmer Area again. Here it can make as many water element and monster as it wants to make. If mercenary compares with it in this respect, it will naturally be defeated. Because they couldn't think of a way to let Ice Demon leave the water to fight them, and mercenary is also a human being, of course it is impossible to dive into the cold and cold water to find his own way. However, the ordinary method of drawing BOSS after finishing the younger brother is useless for the Ice Demon, which can continuously manufacture water element monster.
But for Rhodes, the above two points are not a problem, he has a way to deal with these troubles.
But before that, he still solves the problem at hand.
"Please follow me."
Under the full gaze, Rhodes did not immediately answer, but made an invitation gesture to the old man, and then the two walked aside, whispering and started talking in a low voice. Seeing their appearance, both the mercenary and the representatives of the townspeople were very curious and puzzled, but none of them dared to eavesdrop and could only stand beside and watch from a distance, guessing that they were talking through their expression what.
On the Rhodes', everyone can't see any clues, because he has basically been expressionless, and this is the same at this time. However, mercenaries had long known about their strange and powerful Guild Leader. When he knew that he was expressionless, he was in a good mood. When he suddenly smiled enthusiastically, it was a harbinger of bad luck. Now it seems that his Guild Leader is in a good mood.
On the contrary, the old man seems to be a bit embarrassed. When speaking to Rhodes', he shook his head first, then frowned, not knowing what to say. After hearing his words, Rhodes coldly waved his hand, apparently disagreeing with old man's statement, then he raised his head and stared sharply at the old man in front of him. Under his momentum, the old man in front of him had can't help but He flinched, but soon he gathered courage and shook his head again, but this time it seemed that old man was not as determined as before, but hesitated. But before long, he looked up and said something to Rhodes. In the face of old man's speech, Rhodes still has no expression, but he suddenly raised his right hand and extended three fingers, and saw the action of Rhodes', old man silent for a moment, and then said something, and finally, he slowly nodded. Rhodes reached out and patted him on the shoulder. Then, old man turned around and walked back to the other townspeople, whispering something to them. When I heard old man's words, the townspeople suddenly showed surprised expressions. The screaming youngster and even can't help but jumped up and waved their fists to yell something, but the middle-aged man beside him The reaction was very fast, and when he saw him jump, he slapped him again, which made the youngster shut his mouth. Then these people said a little coldly to mercenaries, and then turned to leave.
It was not until this time that Rhodes walked back to the middle of mercenary. Seeing him come back, Anne first rushed forward, 〖Xing〗 holding on to the Rhodes' hand endlessly, swinging hard left and right.
"Annie knew that Captain still had a way, and those nasty guys were really chased by you! How? They dare not stop us again!"
After hearing Anne ’s inquiry, Rhodes nodded, he looked at the surrounding mercenary, started talking.
"Yes, they agreed to try again, and I also want them to guarantee that this time we will be able to complete quest and beat Ice Demon."
"Oh —— !!!"
Hearing here, the mercenaries next to them all chanted can't help but, they actually had a grudge in their hearts, although they said that these people are not wrong. However, most of mercenary are aggressive and aggressive. Under the training of Little Bubble Gum and Canary, the strength of upgrade is so fast that they are underestimated by these unscrupulous people. However, they are defenseless, and these mercenarys are embarrassed to roll up their sleeves and teach them a bit, so that this group of people can see how powerful they are. Now Rhodes can help them solve this problem, and naturally makes mercenaries extremely excited.
However, these mercenary are also secretly determined at the moment. In the next quest, we must let this group of hick know their power. At that time, they dare not look down on themselves!
After seeing such movements under his own eyes, Rhodes didn't say anything, but just glanced at them, and then a light started talking.
"Today you have a good rest, tomorrow to the frozen lake, I hope you have not forgotten the results of training."
Hearing the Rhodes' command, mercenaries naturally responded with a bang, then turned around and left one by one, preparing for the fight tomorrow. Rhodes shook his head slightly until he saw them dispersed, and then turned to look at Annie and Lì Jie in front of her eyes. Then started talking.
"This time you came to the Frozen Lake, did you hear any news?"
This time I went to the frozen lake, Rhodes did not bring all the people, but according to the rules in the game, formed a team of 35 people, of which 30 people used to deal with Ice Demon, left The next five people are treated as a substitute, but also to prevent the occurrence of accident/surprise. This is also a small cheating method made by Rhodes with a little difference between the game and reality.
Before this, Rhodes has always been very strange, why many Mercenary Guild of native sent hundreds of people to siege a BOSS, the result still returned without success. In the game, player only needs ten or twenty-five people to almost kill these BOSS. from the beginning, he thought it was only because of the strength gap between native and player, so he had to choose the tactics of manpower to achieve his goal. But now Rhodes only finds himself wrong. The reason why those Mercenary Group teams will fail consecutively is that in addition to the strength gap between player and native, the most important thing is the number of people. Most teams' Dungeon's BOSS will have some crowd-attack skills, and in the game, player is not difficult because of the small number of people, as long as it is properly prepared, to avoid those group attack skills. However, native is different. Most of them were not strong enough. Coupled with a crowd, they intended to eliminate the opponent with a sea of tactics, but instead caught the BOSS trap. You should know that most of BOSS ’s overall attacks, even player, dare not resist and can only choose to evade. Naturally, these lower-strength native naturally have to go to death, plus the number of them, so there is not enough space for dodge Most of the deaths and injuries are this way, so it is naturally difficult to defeat those monster. Because of this, after the end of the quest of the Parfield defense line, Rhodes ordered Vivian to take most of the people back to Fortress, leaving only a small part of the elite to go to the frozen lake to complete this quest. The reason why Vivian was not followed this time is because Rhodes intends to train his independent ability of subordinate/hand. Vivian, Canary and Little Bubble Gum are the strongest ones, and they are also his men. In other words, if there is something wrong with Rhodes, then they summoned object will disappear at the same time. And if you only rely on them, it is naturally not a good thing for guild. So in order to be able to exercise his own independent combat capabilities, this time Rhodes only sent Vivian back to Fortress, and did not follow along with ———. If it was not Ice Demon level was too high, the damage of his subordinates level output (damage dealer) was too low, Rhodes did not even want to take action in person.
In the face of Rhodes' inquiries, lìjie also took the first half step, then a bit of bitterness appeared on his face, and then started talking.
"Mr. Rhodes, I do n’t hide from you, I did hear some news this time ......... The Ice Demon monster seems to be difficult to show up. According to the townspeople, the Mercenary Guild has been encircled and suppressed several times before, even Ice Demon I did n’t see anything, I was worried ……… ”
"Don't worry, lì clean."
In the face of lìjie ’s worry, Rhodes waved his hand. Of course, what he said was lìjie. In the game, the entire frozen lake is where the map of Dungeon is, but this map is not like the general Dungeon. The map is hierarchical. From the surface, the frozen lake is just a frozen lake, and the mobss will appear continuously from the ice. If you ca n’t catch the tips and requirements, mercenaries is basically I can't even see the shadow of BOSS, I will only be exhausted in the endless stream of mobs. ——— Don't say NPC, there are many people who are so stupid in player.
"This kind of thing should be solved by an expert, and I have found an expert who can wake up Ice Demon and make it have to stand up and fight us." (To be continued)
