Chapter 170: Engagement

Under Rhodes' pressure, Lucian finally used a move that Rhodes had never seen before - the Holy Spear Trial.

With his hands stretched forward, he clenched his two guns, and the muzzle of the gun was firmly aimed at Rhodes.

"Lying on a big grass, the Holy Lance Ranger has been redone?!"

A familiar force seemed to be about to start surging, and Rod subconsciously chose to flash.

But there is no use for eggs.

The muzzle of the gun suddenly lit up with a dazzling incandescent flame, and then a miniature sword-shaped holy flame bullet appeared, flying towards Rhodes at great speed.

The shape of the Holy Flame Bullet is very unique, exactly like the long sword on the coat of arms of Demacia - if you are not familiar with that sword, please make up for the appearance of the sword that fell from the sky in Demacia.

Although Rhodes flashed at the first time, the long sword followed as if it had locked on him.

Obviously, this is a target-locking skill!

In the case of no avoidance, Rhodes directly mobilized the power of the majestic Suffron Flame, and then blocked the mini longsword layer by layer - but although the speed of the extremely penetrating longsword slowed down, it still flew towards Rhodes after purifying a large amount of Suffron Flame and creating a place of molten slag.

In desperation, Rhodes flashed again to open up the space, and then increased the mana output.

Keep purifying, slag all over the floor—but Rhodes has finally drained the power from it.

This mini long sword is finally gone.

And Lucian, who was extremely weak after announcing the Holy Flame Trial, saw that the ultimate move failed, and simply fell to the ground.

It's over, it's in the hands of a pervert - summoner Lucian's last thought before he falls unconscious.

……………………

When Lucian woke up, he opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

The fact that his wrists can be moved without shackles and shackles is good news - but the mental malaise and physical aches make Lucian feel uncomfortable, as it will affect his escape plans for the rest of the day.

Wait, what about my twin guns?

"You're awake—you seem to be recovering well, you've been in a coma for less than twenty hours." Just as Lucian was looking for his twin guns, Rod's voice suddenly appeared, startling him, "The physical condition of the Demacian barbarians is different. ”

“……”

Lucian was silent.

"It looks like you're a worthy captive - no pointless temptations, no chatter." Looking at the silent Lucian, Rod smiled, "This will help us clear up some unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

Misunderstand?

Lucian frowned slightly, he wouldn't easily believe that this was a misunderstanding.

Then the next moment, Jinx slipped in.

"This is my maid - the guy who owes a lot of money and can't pay it back, and works for me, if you don't believe me, I still have a magical copy of the contract." As if sensing Lucian's distrust, Rhodes shrugged helplessly, "The contract was all three months ago, and the time on this thing can't be faked." ”

Lucian accepted the contract suspiciously, and then saw at a glance the time to pay off the debt.

Regardless of inflation and other factors, the debt repayment period is 168 years......

What kind of debt is this!?

One hundred and sixty-eight years of part-time work to pay off debts?!

"Originally, it was only a little over a hundred and twenty years ago—but because our previous battle destroyed a warehouse of spices, according to half of the responsibility of you and Jinx, she needs to work for another forty years." As if sensing Lucian's doubts, Rhodes explained, "The money has been sent. ”

(The money was actually given, but it was given to Sarah — for Rod, it was basically left-handed to right-handed.) )

Lucian clenched his fists, trying to refute something, but there was nothing to say.

It is only natural that there should be compensation for breaking things—and if the mage had not lied and used some psychic cues on the little girl, then he had indeed acted recklessly.

"I will compensate for all the losses this time." After a moment's thought, Lucian spoke, word for word, "I don't have any cash—so I want to pay you on credit, and I'll give you interest at Piltover's current loan rate for the duration of the credit, and I'll be by your side for three days, and after three days, after I've taken revenge on Hammerstone, I'll leave you with my pistol as collateral." ”

Neat.

Rod touched his chin.

I have to admit that these kind and orderly guys are really easy to win the favor of others - like Lucian in front of him, he has the strength but will not be bullied because of this, and he will make up for his mistakes as soon as he is confronted, and his methods and words are reasonable, clear thinking, and will not ask others to give up reasonable interests for the sake of "kindness and justice" (although they themselves are willing to pay for kindness and justice).

Of course, this did not prevent Lucian from playing a little trick - Rod knew very well that in three days it would be Eclipse Day, and Lucian would definitely challenge Hammerstone.

The result of this challenge may be that Lucian dies on the battlefield, and if Rhodes wants to recoup the money, it is best to help Lucian fight.

Private accounts without an inheritance will be written off, and that's the rule - if Rhodes doesn't accept this condition, then Lucian can flip the table to a limited extent, and being kind and orderly doesn't mean being inflexible, and they will also take advantage of some rules - the kind of good intentions.

It seems that being teammates with this kind of guy seems to be very reliable.

Thinking of this, Rod shook his head slightly.

"Don't bother, I've got the best of both worlds."

"Oh?" Lucian raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it?" ”

"On the night of the Eclipse of Souls, you listened to me, and the account was written off - and I could even get rid of Jinx's account."

Lucian didn't speak.

"Don't worry—I'm not going to tell you to do anything bad, I'm just going to fight the undead and clean up Bilgewater, and I can even promise to do everything I can to help you clean up the hammerstone."

"I can't believe you."

"My name is Rod, Rod Lothar - you should know what that name means in Bilgewater, on Naga Kapoulos' turf."

After a little thought, Lucian reacted, but he felt that the name Rod Lothar was familiar.

"Zaun and Piltover."

Lucian suddenly realized - "Deal!" ”

In this way, when Lucian grabbed Rod's "handle" and Rod completely trusted Lucian's character, an agreement was directly reached.

However, I don't know if it's a hallucination, Lucian always feels that as the beneficiary of the agreement, Jinx seems to be ...... Not so happy?
