The Last Dark King

Latest website: "Cough."

Rhodes coughed. Although it was a very happy thing for a girl to take the initiative to invite her, he was not out here for three days to pick up girls.

Although she claimed that there was a lot of water and it was easy to soak.

"A'duo, actually I'm very short of money..."

A'duo blinked her big eyes and asked softly: "Brother Sauron, how come you are such a powerful hunter and you are short of money?"

Rhodes' thoughts flashed, and he immediately thought of an answer: "Actually, I bought a house in Uptown and I owe a lot..."

"Wow!"

Aduo exclaimed.

"A house in Uptown! Brother Sauron, you actually bought a house in Uptown!"

She covered her mouth violently and looked around carefully, as if she was afraid that the news would be leaked.

But the Hunter's Tavern was empty, with no one around.

She came closer to Rhodes, her big eyes filled with strange light, and lowered her voice and asked, "Brother Sauron, where is your mansion?"

"Well...it's on Queen Street..."

A'duo's entire face quickly turned red, and she wrung her little hands unconsciously. Every breath she exhaled was filled with burning breath, making one side of Rhode's cheek burn.

"Brother Soren, the house must be very expensive, right?"

"yes."

"Brother must owe a lot of money to the wealthy merchant in Maihara, right?"

"Uh...yes, I owe a lot, and the monthly repayments are very stressful."

A'duo's expression suddenly became serious. She straightened up and quickly took out the thick mission briefing from under the counter.

"Brother Sauron is right, making money is the most important thing. Brother, do the task first. You can look at the lilies that can spray water at any time. There will be plenty of time in the future. If brother is willing, I can also move the flowers to my brother's house. ”

She lowered her head as she rummaged through the mission briefing, but the red tips of her ears gave away her thoughts.

It turns out that there is also huge housing pressure in the royal city?

Rhodes touched his nose and felt a little complicated.

That giant businessman from Maihara is a real estate developer from the royal city?

No, it seems a little different, so I can’t apply my experience to it.

However, this is a good excuse. The higher the pay, the greater the danger, and the higher the chance of encountering powerful monsters.

Rhodes smiled.

Then I'll trouble you, little sister Aduo.

I’ll enjoy your flowers when I have time.

I have to say that having a good friend who is the leader of the hunter branch makes many things easier.

The Hunter Headquarters sends many tasks every day, some from various defense zones, some from major legions, some from the General Army War Department, and some from private individuals.

If you are not familiar with it, it is impossible to find the right one among so many tasks.

The hunter group itself also has many rules to restrict the behavior of hunters.

Therefore, if Rhodes wants to hunt stronger monsters more efficiently, Aduo is a very important assistant.

If necessary, you can sacrifice some color.

"Ah, right."

Aduo said suddenly.

"Brother Sauron, your hunter star level has reached level three. You can choose a new title."

Rhodes was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

While A'Duo was searching for the mission, he lowered his voice and said, "This means converting your hunter's license to a regular one. We have a record of the license you bought."

She placed a thick book in front of Rhodes.

"Find a suitable one up there."

Rhodes opened the book. It was full of various hunter titles, but most of them were marked in red.

The rest of the names are all weird, with weird names like "Kuchiki", "Women's Clothes", "Trousers" and "Steel Plate".

After searching for a long time, only one barely caught my eye.

"Then let's do this."

"Big Wither? This name is so strange, no one has ever chosen it before."

A'duo's fingers quickly traced the crystal panel embedded in the counter. After a moment, Rhodes suddenly felt a heat in his waist and took it out to take a look.

On his silver hunter's license, the words "Blade of Dawn" gradually melted and turned into "Great Blight".

It's a bit awesome. This hunter's license is really extraordinary.

After another half-quarter of an hour, A'duo suddenly said happily: "I found it, this commission should be acceptable."

She handed over a mission briefing with a red envelope.

"This is a commission from the stone workshop. They were attacked by an unknown evil spirit. They need experienced hunters with strong tracking and search capabilities. The salary for the task is 10,000 silver cords. Brother Sauron has high spiritual vision and observation skills. Sensitive, strong in thrust and logic, he is an excellent scout and tracker, and is just right for this task.”

Rhodes quickly read the mission briefing.

This stone workshop is located at the foot of the eastern part of the Gray Mountains. Its main task is to produce and process spiritually solidified stones for the construction of city defenses or solid fortifications.

This is a small human stronghold, with less than ten thousand people. It is located in the innermost part of the red earth plain. It is generally relatively safe. However, three days ago, an evil spirit with strange traces appeared out of nowhere. Twelve masons have been killed in a row.

The guards of the stone workshop were helpless, and the Sixth Defense Zone to which they belonged sent two hunting teams but returned without success.

Under the advice of the Military War Department, they could only submit a commission to the Hunter Group.

This task is indeed possible.

The most important thing is that the threat level of the task will be represented by the color of the header. The darker the color, the greater the threat.

The threat represented by the red header has reached the "severe" level.

In the context of Wangcheng, this level is not too small.

However, this also created a problem, Rhodes' star rating was not enough.

A'duo said softly: "Iron Wolf and the others have not recovered yet and must find new teammates. Any dark tasks must be completed by a hunter team of more than two people."

"I understand, can you help me find my teammates? Aduo."

Rhodes didn't know anyone here, so he could only ask A'duo.

Aduo said apologetically: "Brother Sauron, during the Black Tide, many hunters were forcibly recruited, so there was always no one in the tavern. There is only one hunter suitable for this task."

Rhodes said casually: "It doesn't matter, just him."

Although the more teammates he has, the easier it will be to save effort, but it will also lead to a significant increase in the difficulty of killing monsters. The chance of obtaining a complete soul from a monster that he did not kill with his own hands is very small.

It is the best choice for two or three people to perform the task.

A'duo said softly: "Her name is Mavis, she is a seven-star hunter, also known as Death Knell."

Rhodes felt a little pity, why don't I have such a handsome title?

But Aduo didn't seem to think this title was cool, and her voice became low and melancholy.

"Brother Sauron, the hunters who travel with her have always had a high probability of casualties. Many hunters regard her as a disaster and bad luck. Some people even slander her as a doomsday cultist and think that she is killing her colleagues. But Sister Mavis She is actually a very good person, she just often performs very dangerous missions, and the casualty rate will of course be very high."

A'duo looked at Rhodes with a serious expression.

"If my brother cares very much, I will find a way to find someone from other branches. This may take a long time."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't bother, just her, I am determined... Uh, the fire bearer warrior, I never believe in these things. We who are protected by fire are never afraid of bad luck. Besides, A'duo's Good friend, how can you be a doomsday cultist?”

Aduo's joy +62

Humanity +6

"Brother Sauron is indeed a good person."

A'duo smiled like a flower, supported the counter with her little hands, leaned over, and kissed Rhodes on the cheek.

After releasing the Spirit Crow Messenger, he personally prepared a cup of "Blue Nebula" for him.

This cloud-like glass of blue fruit wine represents freedom, hope, reason and healing. It is Aduo's blessing to the hunters who are about to travel.

The concentration of fruit wine is not high, the mouth is dense, sour and sweet, and the aftertaste is endless.

After finishing the drink, people arrived.

"Sister Mavis!"

Aduo waved vigorously behind him, with a smile on his face.

Rhodes turned around and saw a tall hunter walking towards them.

She wore a standard hunter windbreaker, standard hunter boots, a large wide-brimmed felt hat, and a thick scarf. Her face was hidden in the shadows, but her light silver eyes were more conspicuous. It's cold, like frost and snow.

She wears a long sword on one side of her waist and a short spear on the other.

Rhodes frowned slightly, not looking very strong.

Forget it, it’s just a matter of one [Psychic Quintet] anyway. Evil spirits are generally not strong, so you just need to help me contain them.

"This is the brother Sauron I'm talking about." A'duo introduced enthusiastically: "Although his star rating is not high, he is very powerful, and his spiritual vision is very high. He is good at observation, tracking and reasoning. He is definitely a good partner. , I can definitely help you complete this task.”

The huntress who looked very aloof said softly: "Thank you, A'duo."

The voice was cold, and there was also a chill that could repel people thousands of miles away.

She turned around and said to Rhodes: "Hello, I am Deathstroke Mavis. This is the first time we meet. I hope you can know that most of the hunters who cooperate with me have died, or suffered from incurable disabilities, or Irrevocably infected."

"God's Coming"

Rhodes smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm tough and you can't defeat me."

Mavis glanced at him, her light silver eyes piercing the soul.

"I hope so, and if you're ready, let's go."

Rhodes nodded.

"Time waits for no one, let's go."

"Aduo, see you later."

He walked out of the Hunter's Tavern side by side with the tall Mavis.

A'duo shouted from behind: "Brother Sauron, sister Mavis, may the fire go with you all the way and shine on you forever!"

This time they did not use a rickshaw and walked directly out of the city.

Rhodes was now running much faster than before. He jumped dozens of steps with just a tip of his toes, and the rise and fall of his psychic energy was as smooth as breathing.

Mavis was about the same speed as him, but always half a step behind him.

"Haha, I have indeed become stronger."

Rhodes was a little happy, but also a little anxious.

"I must quickly raise [Justice Execution] to full capacity and then deal with [Spirit Boat]. After that, I will find a way to light new stars."

"Well... we also need to find a way to accumulate more trump cards to let the intruders know that having more people is the last word. [Wooden Puppet] and [Soul Ashes] are really useful."

"You can ask a medicine woman to make a puppet tree, but you don't have much spirit left. I still have to find a way to kill a wave of doomsday cultists, but they are all hidden deep now, so it's hard to find them."

"The sun stones are the most troublesome. How can I get some more?"

Along the way, Rhodes silently thought about his future and considered various ways to deal with the invasion.

In the darkness, both of them were silent and didn't speak much.

The two dim lights illuminate each other, neither close nor far, like two parallel lines that never intersect.

A few hours later, the two arrived at the gate of the Lusk Stone Workshop just below the Eastern Dead Mountains.
