Knowing that there were bandits blocking the railway, of course Rhodes would not be naïve to think that it could be solved in a few days, and bandits with three or four hundred people would not be a problem that could be easily solved in a few days, so Rhodes was already ready to find other ways to go to the royal capital.

However, before that, more detailed information is needed to ensure that you can bypass those bandit-infested locations, and the means of obtaining information in a city, generally speaking, the adventurer's guild, mercenary guild, and tavern are good places, and the people gathered here travel in all directions, and many of the gossip is very well-informed.

After thinking about it, Rod looked at the stop sign in front of the station, walked directly to a small hotel, took out a silver coin painfully, Rod entered the slightly ordinary room, spread his cloak on the bed, took off the clothes on his body, and then changed into enchanted body armor, and finally carefully folded the clothes and put them in the package and stored them in the box, put on the cloak and walked into the city.

Although it is a city made of steel and stones, it does not have the serious pollution of the previous life, the air is still fresh, the sky is still blue, and the heart is enlightened, which is the power of magic, which comes from the world and is used in the world, forming a balance and circulation, so that the pollution is greatly reduced to a minimum.

With enlightenment, the mood is much better, and what Rhodes hates is the heavy pollution, not the metal buildings themselves.

Maybe it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and they have walked into the mercenary guild and tavern one after another, and they got the information they wanted before the evening.

Although it is all gossip, but after cutting out the superfluous information, Rhodes naturally derives the scope of activities and the approximate strength of the bandits, these guys who are used to self-preservation and bragging, basically do not lie in this regard, but only exaggerate and conceal, because they are used to choosing to show off their achievements and strength.

Considering the city's high prices, Rhodes hesitated for a few seconds and prepared to go to the Adventurer's Guild to register as an adventurer, because as long as he could receive a task along the way, and his employer would be responsible for food and lodging, he would save a lot of money needed for supplies and supplies.

Of course, going to the Adventurer's Guild to collect intelligence by the way is also one of the reasons, when entering the Adventurer's Guild and checking the task board, Rhodes is also paying attention to collecting information around him, which is not much different from the information he collected before, and after confirming that there is a task he needs, Rhodes walked directly to the counter.

"Trouble, I need to apply for adventurer qualification."

The smile of the girl at the counter was very sweet: "Yes, have you prepared the supporting documents, to become an adventurer, you need a certificate of good citizenship issued by the kingdom." ”

Unlike mercenaries, adventurers need to prove that they are good citizens, simply put, they need to go to the relevant departments to issue a certificate, which is the biggest difference between adventurers and mercenaries, and the mercenary guild can handle it as long as they give money, and they don't need supporting documents.

Rod took out the badge in his arms and showed it to the girl at the counter: "Is this okay?" ”

The whole body armor made the counter girl's smile sweeter, and when she saw the badge, the counter girl's eyes even flashed with inexplicable starlight, and she immediately scratched her head in an unfamiliar manner, and when she found that Rod was unmoved, she had to take out a small metal box sullenly, and the top was a smooth glass.

"Please verify the badge."

Rod waved his hand and swept the box, and the glass immediately displayed Rode's basic information, and after confirming that it was correct, the girl handled the adventurer qualification very efficiently.

"Since you are both a graduate of the Royal College and a junior first-class warrior, you will directly become a member of the official adventurers, and you can now officially accept the mission"

This is one of Rhodes' current privileges, without this badge, ordinary people can go through the procedures for adventurers, ranging from a few days to a month, and then it will take about a month to become a full-fledged adventurer.

"By the way, I'm going to pick up this escort mission."

This is the task that Rod just fancied, the commission is 1 gold, the food and lodging are managed, and the destination is the royal capital, which coincides with Rode's idea, but this task needs to be personally selected by the employer, and only when he is selected can he successfully take over the task.

However, Rod is confident, because looking at the entire adventurer's guild hall, except for Rod himself, there is no official professional, not to mention sword pressure and magic power, many people do not even have a physical fitness of 10 points.

These people are indeed good citizens, and compared to the muscular men of the Mercenary Guild, the Adventurer Guild is much more polite.

The task is to go shopping tomorrow morning, and Rhodes is not in the mood to go shopping, so he goes directly back to the hotel he has set, spreads his cloak on the bed, and then takes out the basic spell textbook from his arms.

Although this textbook is basic, most of the knowledge Rhodes has already studied in the Higher Academy, but it also provides knowledge that the Higher Academy will not provide, such as the magic control rune.

Runes are a skill similar to that of a warrior cultivating sword pressure, just like sword pressure requires long-term training to become stronger, runes are also a skill used by spellcasters to temper their own magic power, but it is much more mysterious than sword pressure.

Magic control runes, used to strengthen the control of magic power, are simple and easy to understand, there is neither danger nor difficulty, and the effect will certainly not be so significant, far less powerful than learning spells directly, but the effect is just right for Rod, because Rod's no spells, he will only have basic skills at present.

Normally, it takes several days to build a rune under the watchful eye of a mentor, otherwise most of them will be in danger of their lives.

Although the magic control rune is not too dangerous, because of this, most people will not be able to draw it successfully without the guidance of a mentor, but Rhodes has demonic knowledge, a heart, and a left arm.

Rhodes sat cross-legged on the bed, the demon's heart beat rhythmically, and the magic in the human heart also began to circulate in the body with the demon's heart beating, making sure that the mana was smooth and smooth, and then the mana control rune was established according to the method.

The process was very smooth, with the assistance of the demon heart, but in half an hour, a transparent magic rune appeared in front of Rod, which was also really illusory, and Rod suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his left index finger, and slid quickly on the rune according to the inexplicable trajectory, like a master of calligraphy.

An hour passed, and the magic control rune also officially appeared in Rhodes's body, and the initial rune was still a little empty, with only one frame, so he had to practice in the same way every time in the future, and one day he could transform the rune into substance.

At the same time, with the completion of the mana control rune, the information in the lower left corner of the field of vision has also been updated.

Strength: 12, Constitution 15, Agility 11, Speed 10

Sword Pressure (??? ), mana (??? ), Tough Skin (+0/??? ), Mana Control Rune (base)

Rhodes tried to use illusions, and in order to make it easier to compare the results, he was still the beauty when he infiltrated the copycat.

Rod's biggest feeling about this use of magic is smooth, there is no collapse in the middle, and the time is shortened to about a minute, but the eyes are still a dead fish eye, not disguised by illusion.

It can be said that it is much stronger than when it was a cottage, when the magic power was not only slow, it collapsed several times on the way, but also had flaws, which could only deceive ordinary people.

Looking at the foundation behind the brackets, the demon's heart was agitating, and the energy was surging towards the magic control rune at a rapid speed, until 200 energy was consumed, and the information in the lower left corner changed, from the magic control rune (basic) to the magic control rune (primary first class), and Rod could also feel that the magic control rune had become stronger.

Just like his class level, runes also have corresponding levels, and different levels of runes are different, generally speaking, the greater the potential, the higher the level.

This time, the use time of Rhodes' illusion was shortened from one minute to half a minute, the speed was faster, and the appearance looked more perfect, and the originally flawed eyes also appeared misty, which could be seductive without Rhodes' acting.

The body is also integrated, and there is no flaw to be seen, even in the face of the spellcaster, if the other party's magic perception is not proficient, he will definitely not be able to find out that Rod is a man at this time.

Cancel the illusion, the right hand condenses a magic group, this is the technique of magic explosion, it can already achieve condensation without hair, and the palm of the hand is grasped, and the magic disappears in the palm of the hand in an instant.

Of course, if ordinary people want to achieve this level, it will take months or years, and the actual effect will vary from person to person.

For others, the effect is mostly far less convenient and quicker than learning a spell directly without a demon heart.

It's just that spells also have shortcomings, the lack of flexibility is one thing, and spells are not fundamental laws, which cannot transform the caster's magic power, while magic control runes can enhance most spell effects.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief and lay down directly on his bed, at this time, Tom finally found the sense, came to this hotel, and when he returned, his stomach was still bulging, obviously he had eaten a lot of food.

"Meow, master, Alyssa is such a good person, invited me to a big meal for a few days, it's just a pity, she's leaving tomorrow, by the way, master, when are we leaving, I heard that Alyssa issued a mission to hire guards, it's better for us to mix in their convoy, Alyssa will definitely agree."

Rhodes opens his eyes and hires guards? Could it be the task I received today.

Thinking of Alyssa's temperament and outfit, as well as the man who looks like a housekeeper next to the other party, maybe there is really this possibility.

"I've accepted a mission in the Adventurer's Guild."

"Huh! How so, really, Alyssa is a good person, and she will definitely not treat her master badly, it's a pity. ”

Tom lay down in pity, feeling a little sorry for the delicious food, but it was fine, if she ate that food for a few more days, she might start to gag the humans, which was not a good thing for the demons.
