Rod put down the book in his hand and looked at the girl sitting across from him.

"Isn't it going well?"

"Yes, Captain."

The canary nodded slightly, it had been five days since the recruitment began, but the effect was not very good. Rhodes' selection method was to use the half-plane training space of the Orb of Mysteries to select those mercenaries. This half-dimensional space can be changed according to the mind of the holder, and at the same time, it can also generate a variety of terrain and enemies for training, if you want to use the analogy, it is like a virtual reality game like a test——— whenever you think about it, Rhodes thinks it is weird, it feels so strange to play the same game in a world that looks a lot like a game.

Considering the very possibility of future battles, Rhodes naturally made the undead the highest priority to challenge, but because of this, the efficiency of the entire selection was very low——— in the first selection, only 60 out of 500 people qualified to complete the goal set by Canary and Little Bubble Gum, and the rest all failed, and even the quota of 100 people was not allowed. And the next few days were the same, now that so many days have passed, the Starlight Guild has only recruited a total of one hundred and twenty-five people, and it has not even reached half of the predetermined goal.

This situation worries Shanna and Cavos, who have also talked to Rhodes in private, thinking that the standards of Canary and Little Bubblegum are too strict, and that some of them seem to be good mercenaries, but they are always unqualified in the eyes of these two people——— of course. It was impossible for them to question the vision of the two, but their vision was too high, and Parfield was a small place after all, and in the eyes of Kavos and Shanna, as long as they had a certain amount of strength, it was enough. And Rhodes also relaxed certain limits, but in the end, he has been qualified to pass the test so far. There were still less than 300 people entering the guild.

But almost all the mercenaries in the Pafield region who want to join Starlight have already been selected.

"It's hard to manage when there are too many people. But the lack of people is also a problem, and Bubbles and I have tried our best to make those who have the strength and seem to have some loyalty to the guild. And those who would not abandon their companions remained. But if you can't do that, then I think it's just going to be chaos to get them to join the guild. ”

"It's true that people here don't come back to life when they die, and you and Bubbles should pay attention to that......... But now, it's enough to have these people, and I'll leave it to you and Bubbles about their training, and I think you should know exactly what to do, at least when the Dark Dragon Kingdom attacks, and at least I hope that my men won't be like the idiots in the Land of Light who are useless except to run faster than anyone else. ”

"It's good. Head. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Canary couldn't help but smile, she is also a player from the Duchy of Moon, and the motive for joining Starlight is also to avenge Moon, these Rhodes are all knowledgeable. The canary is not much different from himself in this regard.

"By the way, pay more attention to Marlene, that eldest lady's potential is very strong, and the elite template of the NPC——— which is specialized in all elements is really enviable, jealous and hateful."

"I'll take note, Captain, but ..............."

Said here. The canary's black, smart eyes suddenly turned.

"Miss Marlene, and Miss Lizzie and Miss Anne............ Have you already laid them out? ”

"Uh.................."

Hearing the canary's inquiry, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, he stared at the girl in front of him, and after a while, he showed a wry smile.

"It depends, you should know what I'm thinking, don't you?" …,

"I knew you would say that."

Hearing Rod's answer, the girl stood up with a smile, and she looked at Rhodes intently. Then the girl reached out and caressed Rod's face———— then lowered her head and kissed Rod's lips gently.

The girl's soft tongue familiarly pried open Rod's teeth, and soon invaded Rod's mouth, and Rod naturally reached out, hugged the girl's waist, and responded to her kiss, and after a while, the two separated again............ Only the silver thread that fell from the mouths of the two showed how passionate and fierce they were just now.

The canary looked up, licked her lips in disgust, and then looked at Rod.

"Same as before............ Nothing has changed, Rod, and I'll come to you when I need it later. The old ..............." said this, and the girl even winked playfully. "And here, I'm just a doppelganger, you can also feel free to boldly inside, don't worry about me getting pregnant?"

"Is this an invitation?"

Rod looked at the girl in front of him with a helpless expression, and at the same time stretched out his hand and gently stroked his lips, where there was still a soft touch and the girl's unique lemon fragrance, although Rod also knew that this was just a phantom guard, but ............... Thinking of the canary's promise just now, Rod couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Of course."

The canary nodded slightly in response to Rod's rhetorical question, and then she turned her head sideways, as if sensing something, and then the girl took two steps back.

"Then, Commander, I'll get busy first......... By the way, there seems to be something wrong with my door lock............"

With this, the girl turned and left the room, and as she watched the back of the canary departing, Rod shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"Even if it's a doppelganger, there's no difference between it and the character of the ontology."

Whispering to himself, Rhodes shook his head, and then he quickly looked up thoughtfully.

"Still, it's an attractive invitation."

Just when Rod was wandering outside the world, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when he heard the knock, Rod quickly collected his thoughts, and he sat up straight. He straightened his clothes before he spoke.

"Come in."

With Rod's response, the door opened, and old Walker walked in with tired steps, and it was obvious that the old man must have been very busy before, and now he was so tired that he didn't even want to move. As soon as he entered Rod's room, the elder Walker reached out and pulled over a chair. Then he sat down in front of Rhodes with a big sting.

"Whew............ It's finally done, boy, and I almost didn't get tired. ”

"All the best?"

"Not bad."

Speaking of which. Old Walker let out a long sigh.

"Your kid's plan is so weird that even I can barely figure it out, but luckily, that chauvin guy has helped us a lot, and it's almost done now."

"That's fine."

Hearing Old Walker's answer, Rhodes nodded.

After returning to Parfield, Rhodes asked Old Walker to set up some intelligence points all over Parfield, after all, from now on, the entire mercenary affairs in Parfield will be in charge of Starlight, and this is not a game. Players can know what happened where and what happened through the system, so it was important for Rhodes to have a intelligence point that could transmit information from all over the place in a timely manner. It has to be said that this is also a big project, although the Parfield is not big. But it's not small, and there are more than a dozen villages and towns of some sizes around, so it's not easy to have people in all of them. What's more, this kind of work requires a lot of loyalty, so Rhodes can only take his time and first install a few of his trusted subordinates to work in those big towns, and rely on Shavin's Shadow Fang Mercenary Group to make up for the rest——— which can be regarded as Rhodes' reward for helping Shavin kill an unlucky guy. And Chauvin also agreed to Rhodes's request, as a killer group, Shadowfang's ability in intelligence search is still very good. …,

Of course, loyalty is not something that can be said about it, and in the Golden City, those subordinates who followed Old Walker and spread rumors from Rhodes were richly rewarded, and after they returned from the Golden City, they officially became members of the Starlight Guild. However, the task of these people is not to go into battle like other mercenaries, but to hide in the shadows, gather intelligence, and spread rumors if necessary.

"But boy, you haven't forgotten our agreement."

Saying this, Old Walker couldn't help rubbing his hands and looked at Rod with a hint of expectation, and in the face of his inquiry, Rod nodded slightly. Of course, he knew what Old Walker was talking about, and he had bewitched him when Rhodes gave him a mission to Old Walker, and when this intelligence network was established, Old Walker would be in charge of all this. After all, he is also the head snake of Parfield, with a wide range of people, and his loyalty to Starlight is enough to be trusted. And in the face of this request, Old Walker also agreed and did not refuse. After all, it's a good thing for him.

"Of course not, old fellow, that's what we said we had done before, but............ You really don't think about it anymore? ”

Hearing Rod's inquiry, a little helplessness flashed across Old Walker's face, and then, he turned his head, looked out the window, and let out a long sigh.

"I'm old, boy, and you should know that too. I'm not very strong in this group, whether it's Marlene or Annie's girl is better than me now. The only thing I'm proud of is experience............ Hehe, but in front of you, my experience with this old bone is useless, is it? Frankly, I'm still looking forward to the adventure, but I also know that I don't have the strength I had when I was younger, and it's impossible to keep up with you young people............ But ..............."

At this, Old Walker reached out and rubbed his nose before continuing.

"But at least, I can continue to fight like this, can I? Hahaha, when I was in Golden City, it was the first time that I found out that it was much more powerful to play tricks than to use knives. That's fun, isn't it? Boy, look at it, if you have any enemies in the future, I will spray him to death with one mouth! ”

"I'm not doing this to spray people........."

"Haha, of course I know it, but it's cool to think about it like this............"

At this, Old Walker restrained the smile on his face, and then he turned and looked at Rod seriously.

"But boy, about building a fortress in the Land of Atonement......... When are you going to get it? Do you want me to find someone to help you? After all, there are no houses for you to live in the Land of Atonement, so you probably want to learn from the dwarves to dig a hole to live underground. ”

"No problem, I've got it planned."

Rhodes nodded at Old Walker's inquiry, then leaned back in his chair and stared out the window.

"But before we do, we need to prepare." (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
