Chapter 8: The Swordsman's Mind
Rod quietly returned home from the Black Rock Tavern.
The light from the top of the rock was dim, and the alley was dark and cold.
Some shadowy figures wandered, scavengers outside the Black Rock Gathering Area, weak in strength, but still breathing, like vultures in the wilderness, as soon as any injured or weak creature appeared on the periphery, they would pounce on that person like the craziest hyena and tear that person apart.
There were two people in the corner of the alley.
Both of them were yellow-skinned and thinly dressed, and if they got closer, they could smell the stench of not taking a shower for a long time.
This is the kind of guy who looks inferior to some beggars in the eastern country, but it is the eyeliner of some people, for example, these two guys are casually staring at the small stone house at the end of the alley.
"Hehe, that little girl is really good-looking."
One of the fellows whispered a very obscene tone to his companion and laughed, he had seen the little girls clearly these days, and he swore that the little girl was not very old, but that beauty was comparable to the legendary drow elves who ate people and did not spit out bones.
"Don't be stupid! That's what Master Mullen wants us to keep an eye on. Another voice was very jealous to warn his companions to know how to be in awe in the Shadow Realm, and at least not to have thoughts about things that should not be thought about.
The whispers of the two echoed in the dark corners.
It adds a bit of weirdness to this small alley.
Suddenly.
The voices of the two scavengers paused.
Rod's tall figure was standing at the mouth of the alley at the moment, he didn't know when he appeared here, holding a short sword in his hand and listening quietly to their whispers.
The two scavengers looked at each other in a bit of a panic.
The atmosphere in the alley suddenly became tense, and Rod looked at them expressionlessly, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.
After half ringing.
The two of them suddenly rushed out, revealing two glittering daggers in their hands, one left and one right, stabbing at Rhodes at a tricky angle.
Strike first.
These two scavengers are worthy of being able to get to where they are today, they are sharp and decisive, and they are determined to kill them in a short time after seeing Rod, and they don't even have any extra words to beg for mercy, this is the survivor of the Shadow Domain, and each of them has a fierce will to fight.
But it was all in vain.
There was no expression on Rhodes' face, but the short sword in his hand was as fast as lightning, and a cold light swept through the dim alley.
- Even Thrust!
- Silver Blade!
The basic skills of the two swordsmen were completed in one go, and the short sword that looked like an eye pierced their hearts accurately.
Poof!
Blood gushed like a fountain, and the two scavengers struggled to clutch their hearts like drowning men, and slowly fell.
Shaking off the blood on the sword, Rhodes indifferently lifted their thighs and dragged the two corpses up, the dazzling blood trailing and the smell of blood filling the entire alley.
He was going to hang the two bodies in front of the stone house.
Despite Hamer's promises, some of the low-level scum don't know the rules, and Rhodes doesn't believe that Hammer will send people to protect his sisters all day, and the most direct and brutal way to ensure their safety is to deter these fools with blood.
…………
Rhodes' method of killing people is very neat.
What swordsmen are best at is to find the flaws of the enemy, and then kill them with one blow, they are not like those wanderer assassins, the swordsman's favorite thing is to fight head-on, and even in the Eastern Country, there are some practicing sword masters, they will carry a long sword aimlessly all over the world to find a master to challenge.
These Juggernauts are the most headaches.
If you defeat them, you've stabbed a hornet's nest, and before long, you'll be approached by a group of fanatical Juggernauts who will take turns challenging you with the toughest patience in the world.
Of course, this challenge is fair. In the East, they will not consume your physical strength with wheel battles, they will become the most trustworthy bodyguards, following you all the time, until your physical strength is at its best, they will jump out and duel you one by one, and sometimes there will be a small early fight between Juggernauts for a goal.
And if you lose, it's not much better.
Sword masters are some of the professions who have given up strong armor, they take "saint" as the professional name, everyone is persistent in the pursuit of swordsmanship, they tend to pursue the strongest swordsmanship, in the face of these sharp swordsmen, once they fail, they will either die or be injured.
Rhodes once joined the army in order to practice a swordsmanship called "Extreme Swordsmanship".
He joined the war in the Eastern Realm in the name of an adventurer, pursuing the most powerful swordsmanship in that kind of melee with thousands of people, although he has now lost the attribute panel of the sword god, but the most crisp and neat killing method has penetrated into the heart of Rod.
Drop the two of them in front of and behind the stone house.
Rod frowned and pulled out a money bag from the bloodstained corpse.
The two were just the lowest level of scavengers, and they didn't have many coins on them, but Rhodes counted them, and there were actually a few silver coins, about a dozen, and it seemed that the people behind them were quite generous.
In the Stormwind realm, a dozen silver coins can buy something.
At the very least, when he was a novice in the game, Rhodes didn't have more than ten silver coins on his body, and the swordsman was a crispy class, and the red medicine, blue medicine, and some necessary adventure equipment consumed all his wealth.
"Damn! Swordsmen are forever short of money! ”
Muttering in a low voice, Rod weighed the silver coins and complained a little about his profession.
He was about to leave the Black Rock Gathering Place, some necessary field equipment and potions needed money, and the living expenses of several sisters had to be left behind after he left, he didn't want to see a few yellow-skinned little girls when he came back.
Since his novice days, he has been running around all day long to repair the cost of his longsword's durability.
After finally advancing to the legendary, the potions he used to practice the "Heart Eye" swordsmanship, the materials used to craft legendary weapons, and even the damn various quest items made Rhodes tired of making money all day long.
For a while, Rhodes even wondered if he had offended "Ms. Doom" and was cursed with poverty.
In order to make money, Rhodes went to [Hero Gao Chuan] to chase giants, he also went to [Southern Hills] to slay dragons, play a game, Rod even gambled on horses, killed people, once the game launched an event, he even went to raise [Golden Goat], these things, said full of tears.
The alley was still dark.
It's just the bloody corpses of the two scavengers that tell of the merciless killing.
Two scavengers died in the alley of the Black Rock Gathering Place, no one will pursue it, no one will pay attention to it, life goes on, maybe soon, another scavenger will come to this area, they will replace these dead guys, become the shadowy figures in the alley,
However, none of this has anything to do with Rhodes.
He was thinking.
Although he had promised Hammer a month to find his mysterious uncle, God knows who his uncle was.
Rod is not a swordsman in the [Shadow Domain], he hasn't even figured out the origin of his three younger sisters, and delaying it for a month is already the best Rhodes can do.
Who is he?
He's a sword god! A swordsman worshipped by countless people in China.
In the Eastern Realm, you don't expect a Juggernaut to back down because of his lack of strength.
Swordsmen are always a bunch of crazy people.
They will join a battle of 10,000 people for their cultivation, they will run to slay dragons for the hilt of their greatsword, they will kill their wives to defeat an enemy......
Although Rhodes is not so extreme, he never gives in and retreats, just like a long sword, even if he is in the Shadow Domain, Rod does not intend to blindly escape.
If it weren't for the concern for the safety of his younger sisters, he would have even wanted to witness the "storm incident" with his own eyes.
He'd always wanted to fight the guys who would later be known as "Ash's strongest NPCs".
"A month......," Rhodes thought as he walked, "this is the Stormwind realm...... I remember there were a couple of premium copies here later, maybe I could go and go around. ”
Premium Replicas.
Rhodes wasn't very familiar with the Shadow Domain, but he still had some impressions of some iconic copies.
His idea was simple.
Looking for his uncle? No, he didn't even know who it was.
The strongest swordsman is his sword, and they only believe in the sword in their hand.
Rod's idea is straightforward and simple, in a month, he will improve his strength to the point where he can make Hammer jealous, standard swordsman thinking, I can't find the mission goal, but I am strong, can you bite me if the mission fails?
