Chapter 70: The Return
At the end of the mission, the three of Rhodes naturally did not continue to stay outside, but returned to Baldigo by boat.
After more than ten days of sailing, the sailboat returned to the island of white soil without danger.
Looking at the familiar wind and sand and white soil in the distance, the three of them all breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the new world is a new world, the strong are like clouds, the sea is treacherous, and the weather is unpredictable, even with the strength of the three of Rhodes, they are all frightening step by step, and there are constant twists and turns.
At this time, when I saw the familiar island of white soil, I finally put my mind at ease.
Although the landscape of Valdigo is not good and a little desolate, it is the safest place in the New World for them.
The three of them landed on the shore, handed over to the revolutionary army at the coastal base, and walked directly to the headquarters castle.
It's always faster to get home than to go out.
For most of the day, the quaint and vicissitudes of the headquarters castle were already in sight, and the three of them glanced at each other, speeding up with a tacit understanding, and soon came to the bottom of the castle.
"You guys go and rest first, I'll hand in the task." Saab said.
Kerr stretched his waist and said a little lazily: "Speaking of which, after this mission, you are about to become a senior cadre." ”
"I don't know."
Sabo waved his hand and walked to the top floor of the castle.
Rhodes and Kerra also said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes.
The headquarters castle is still quiet and empty, with quaint stone pillars standing at every turn.
Rhodes was a little emotional, remembering that when he first became a reserve last year, he felt a little shocked and insignificant in this place.
But at this moment, looking at these again, there is only a kind of indifference and calmness.
Because this castle, no matter how brilliant and magnificent it is, he can destroy it with one sword and one sword.
"Well, that's not destructive."
Rod shook his head slightly in his heart, but his feet did not stop, and he walked quickly to the outside of the familiar cultivation hall.
"Eh, Rod is back!"
When someone saw Rod, he was slightly stunned, revealing a strange look.
I saw Nia take three steps and make two steps, and walked quickly to Rod, and said:
"Why did you come back! It's been months since Xano and Crow both returned. ”
Speaking of this, she leaned over and exhaled like a land, "You shouldn't really fail the mission, right?" ”
"Failure?"
Rod shook slightly, and immediately reacted.
The results of the normal cadre assessment task can be produced in more than a month at most.
But because of his apprenticeship with Peach Rabbit, it took him more than four months, and for such a long time, some people will naturally be suspicious.
There are even people who think that Rod should not die outside, after all, it is a new world, and this kind of thing has not happened before.
Thinking about the joint, Rod shook his head amusefully and said:
"How could it fail?"
"It's just been delayed by something."
"That's good, that's good."
Nia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I don't believe it, how can a monster like you fall on the cadre assessment." ”
"I heard that Crowe guy has become domineering, and he is waiting to challenge you."
"He's very confident, and a lot of people are optimistic about him."
At the beginning, Crow lost to Rhodes, to a large extent, because of the domineering suppression of Seeing and Hearing, after all, the speed and strength of Crow after being a half-beast surpassed Rhodes.
Rod shook his head lightly and did not speak, but Nia could feel an absolute confidence in it, and a little strange color flashed in his eyes.
The two walked casually and chatted.
Speaking of which, at this time, Nia has also become an official revolutionary army, but it has not been assigned for the time being.
At this moment, Rod was stunned, but he saw two familiar figures.
One is Crowe, and the other is the one-armed swordsman who triggered his swordsmanship talent when he first came to this realm!
"That's Crowe's teacher, Sword Hao Ryuji, who is very strong, and is a senior cadre."
Nia followed her gaze and whispered to Rod.
"Ryuji?"
Rod blinked, and suddenly remembered the legendary dragon slayer sword hero Ryoma, because Ryuji's outfit had the taste of a traditional samurai in Wano Country.
I don't know if there is any relationship between the two.
Even if he is not a descendant of the great sword Hao Ryoma, it is estimated that he is an existence that came out of the country of Wano.
Wano Country is a mysterious country in the New World, where many splendid schools of swordsmanship flourish, the most famous of which is the legendary great sword hero Ryoma, who slashed the heavenly dragon.
At this time, Crow also noticed Rod, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over.
But he still came and challenged, and Ryuji suddenly spoke:
"Come back, you're no match for him."
Crowe's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, and his face turned blue and white.
But Crow knew very well how powerful his teacher was, and how sharp his vision was, he didn't dare to disobey at all, and retreated obediently.
It's just that there is still a deep unwillingness and suspicion in his eyes.
In order to defeat Rhodes, he racked his brains, worked hard, and finally cultivated to be domineering, and was about to defeat Rhodes in one fell swoop and regain glory, but he was denied by the most respected teacher in his life.
Even if I trust the teacher again, I can't help but have a trace of suspicion, could it be that the teacher is wrong?
A few months ago, he was still inseparable from Rhodes, and if it weren't for the suppression of Seeing and Hearing, he boasted that he would not have lost.
And at this time, Long Zhi looked at Rod fixedly, his eyes were deep, as if he had noticed something, and said with interest:
"Let's have a chance to learn swordsmanship."
"Okay."
Rhodes was surprised by the man's acuity, but he didn't feel any fear, and responded calmly.
"This ......"
Hearing this, Crow and Nia both gasped, revealing disbelief.
Ryuji is a high-ranking cadre of the revolutionary army, he was a top swordsman at his peak, and now even if he breaks off an arm, his strength is still terrifying, and he is definitely better than an ordinary vice admiral.
"Yes, you're good."
Ryuji seems to be a man who doesn't smile, even if he is complimentary, his expression is still very solemn, and he looks rather old-fashioned.
He gave Rhodes a deep look, then turned away with Crow.
"This is a very strong sword master." Rod narrowed his eyes and said.
"Nonsense, Long Zhi suddenly appeared in the New World, broke into the name of Nuo, and became all the rage, but later, I don't know how, he was recruited by the leader, and he directly became a senior cadre."
"At that time, many people were not convinced, but Long Zhi defeated more than ten senior cadres in a row with one person and one sword, and this established his prestige in one fell swoop."
Nia finished speaking as a matter of course, and then showed a strange look, "Such an existence, in the entire kendo world, can be regarded as an old-timer, how can he still ask you to learn swordsmanship?" ”
"Could it be that I want to point you at you?"
"That's right, you are the existence with the strongest swordsmanship talent in our revolutionary army, maybe he wants to take in apprentices."
"Hurry up and apprentice, Rod, this is a real kendo powerhouse, and he is just a little worse than the great swordsmen who can't see the end of the dragon."
She spoke excitedly and kept talking, as if she was going to apprentice.
"When I was a teacher, he didn't have the qualifications yet."
Rod shook his head lightly.
An injured top swordsman, his strength is at most with him, and he really wants to fight to the death, with the power of thunder, Rhodes has a great chance of winning.
In this case, Rod wants to apprentice, and Long Zhi is probably embarrassed to accept it!
"Uh......"
Hearing this, Niya's excited emotions suddenly froze on her face, and she was a little overwhelmed.
It's only been a few months, and Rhodes has reached the point where even high-ranking cadres can ignore it?
But looking at Rod's very calm and handsome face, Nia couldn't doubt it, as if as long as this man said it, he would definitely be able to do it!
Of course, Rod is confident, because tonight, he is going to start his first tempering of the viscera!
According to previous experience, the effect of the first tempering is often the most significant.
