It's finally done.

Rod breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment he was also mixed and weak, and his legs were unable to support him, after all, the continuous summoning also consumed a lot of his soul power, and it also made Rod feel extremely tired. He rested against the wall for a moment, then walked over to the statue that had been reduced to a pile of powder, and reached for the sword lying on the ground. Then, Rod looked into a fist-sized crystal in the powder, an oval stone like an egg. It looked gray and dull, and at first glance it was no different from the cobblestones on the side of the road. But only Rhodes knows that it is this inconspicuous stone that is the root cause of the tragedy here.

This is the Soul Binding Stone, a very rare ore that grows in the Hell, it can suck the souls of living creatures and affect their minds, and is a necessary medicine used by the devils to deceive mortals and obtain their souls. Normally, it's hard to see this kind of thing on the ground. Even mages who are known for their erudition are rarely able to get their hands on similar samples, which are very rare and precious dangerous goods.

And for Rod, this stone also has a very important role, imprisoning the soul.

And this is the main reason why the Soul Binding Stone can be sold for a sky-high price in the later game, it can be decided by the player to imprison the soul of an existence killed by the player, and transform it into its original state. To put it another way, it is a treasure that can artificially create a soul core.

In previous eras, the Soul Binding Stone did not bring a trend because it was even rarer than the Soul Core. It wasn't until the last information was opened, after the invasion of Hell, that players began to officially come into contact with the existence of the Soul Binding Stone, and soon, this gem became popular on the continent and became a must-have item for many mages and summoning swordsmen.

Now that I think about it, in the Hell Invasion material, Deep Rock City was indeed one of the first few forward bases occupied by the Helldevil Legion. At the time, it didn't seem strange, but now that he was holding the Soul Binding Stone in his hand, Rhodes couldn't help but think a little more. Obviously, this may be someone who accidentally dug up this kind of stone back then, and then did so much of it. And this seems to be a subtle hint to the player that the bottomless pit of Deep Rock City is the passage to hell.

But now is not the time to care about this kind of thing, the invasion of hell is because the power of the dragon soul covering the continent is broken, and now the continent is still peaceful, and there is no problem with the power of the dragon soul, and now it is purely unfounded to worry about the invasion of hell. Thinking of this, Rod didn't think any further, he bent down, picked up the stone and put it in his bag, and began to look for other loot.

The only pity is that it seems that Rod's character is not too good, and he did not burst out of the short knife "Sigh of Sadness" that Master Cyrell was equipped with. It's a semi-legendary magic item, not only with toxins and curse effects, but it's definitely a small artifact for swordsmen and thieves, but unfortunately his luck doesn't seem to be so good. Rod turned the entire pile of bones upside down, and there was nothing but a shimmering magic necklace.

Rod didn't say much about this, just shrugged his shoulders and sighed, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, his profession is the most character-oriented summoning swordsman, and his arbitrariness in fusing elves to touch corpses and open equipment is much higher than that of other professions, and because of this, Rhodes has long looked down on those random probabilities. Therefore, in the game, he generally only pays attention to the equipment that the task is completed or the boss will inevitably come out, as for the rare and rare equipment that can be violent or not, it is naturally the best, and it doesn't matter if it is an unexpected surprise licking the head, after all, the game still has to be played, isn't it? ..., there is a sentence on the forum that has been said rotten by many people: "There are no useless spells, only useless mages." In Rod's view, this sentence is the same for other professions, there is no useless equipment, only useless players, in the final analysis, consciousness determines skills. The RMB player only takes a shortcut elevator to the goal, but eventually he has to learn to walk on his own.

And until this time, Lijie, who had been sticking to the door, also felt that she was mixed up and fell to the ground against the wall.

It's not the first time she's experienced a fierce battle, but it's still a memorable memory for the girl because it's the first time she's actually faced an enemy attack and won.

In the last moments of the day, in the face of the attack of the Sea of Bones, Lijie had almost completely exploded, she almost non-stop replenishing her shield, and then destroying the arms that stretched out at her again and again as fast as she could, this was the first time that the girl had made such a fierce attack——— although it seemed more like an instinctive resistance under pressure. Even after the battle was over, Lijie had no way to recover from this agitated state. Even when she actually stepped on the battlefield for the first time and fought as a member of the mercenary group, she had never been so nervous and excited.

The girl raised her hands and looked at her palms, her hands were almost no longer strong due to the overconsumption caused by nervousness, and even began to tremble unconsciously. But in addition to this deep sense of exhaustion, Lijie also felt a trace of satisfaction.

She succeeded.

A new day has arrived.

When the sun rises again, the bright sunlight shines through the dilapidated old mansion and spills into it, this originally gloomy and dim feeling of the murderous mansion has completely lost the evil and horror of a day ago, and even the weedy garden outside is not as sinister as at night, and even reveals a little vitality of life.

Although both of them were very tired, Rod still cheered up and asked Lijie to go back to the Mercenary Association to rest first, and at the same time go through the procedures for the stronghold of the mercenary group, and the girl didn't think much about Rhodes's order, and quickly took the order.

And it wasn't until Lijie left that Rod breathed a sigh of relief, and then he leaned against the wall and turned on the mercenary group construction system.

After confirming that Rhodes has essentially become the owner here, the mercenary group construction system has finally shown the complete pattern of this old mansion, except for the basement, the old mansion has three floors, and the whole building is presented in an upside-down T-shape, of which the main building has a hall, guest rooms, study, bedrooms and other buildings, and the rear annex is the servant's room.

Of course, Rhodes does not intend to continue to use such design standards, after all, he is currently building a mercenary group instead of a noble house, not to mention that most of the mercenaries are lower-class people, and they have more or less a bit of hatred for the rich. So Rod naturally has its own construction plan.

But before that, Rhodes still has to test how big the difference between the real mercenary group construction system and the game is.

After last night's tossing, the damage rate of the stronghold is now as high as 35%, and most of the three-dimensional diagrams that appear in front of Rhodes are showing a rather bad yellow, and even some of the collapsed floors have shown a red critical condition. Therefore, it is imperative that this place be completely restored in the first place.

Soon, Rod selected the "Repair" option, and the system prompt immediately popped up.

[Do you want to fix the base?] ]

Be.

[It takes 15,000 gold to fully repair the stronghold, is it repaired?] ]

Seeing this, Rod frowned, and then chose "no" without hesitation. Soon, another system prompt popped up. ..., [Please select the type of restoration——— Repair the house, repair the furniture, completely repair.] ]

Repair the house.

[It takes 500 gold to repair the house, do you want to continue?] ]

Go on.

As Rod's mind flickered, the system prompt that appeared in front of him disappeared immediately.

A golden ray of light flashed from Rod's palm, and then it quickly expanded, forming a grid that covered the floor, walls, and ceiling. Subsequently, everything changed.

The dilapidated and broken walls were repaired in an instant, and the already decaying furniture disappeared in the advance of the light web, and soon, in the blink of an eye, the hall that had been piled up with tattered and rubbish everywhere had been completely renewed, and there were no more holes in the ground, only large, smooth stone slabs placed on it. The decorations and furniture that had been placed around the area had disappeared, and only the shields and swords that had been used to decorate the walls had been renewed.

The crimson curtains and carpets that have been moth-eaten and full of holes are gone, and the sunlight pours into the room through the new glass windows, bringing a warm spring feeling.

In less than five minutes, the dilapidated old mansion had been completely transformed, there were no cracks in the solid walls, the floor was no longer full of weeds and sand that tried to crawl out of the cracks, and the wooden staircase that had been worn out in the previous battle had been transformed into a stone staircase that spiraled against the wall and spread out like wings on either side. As far as the eye can see, the entire stronghold has completely lost the dilapidated and decaying appearance it had before, and has been replaced by a sense of majesty and majesty.

On the wall in front of the hall, a pitch-black flag hung down from it, and in the center there was a cross-shaped star-shaped symbol, which was the current flag of the mercenary group.

Starlight.

Very good!

Rod nodded with satisfaction, it seems that at least this system plays the same effect here as in the game, which is enough for himself——— but the only regret is that the cost is really a lot, just repairing the whole house, Rod originally had some strong wallets, and now there are signs of shrinking.

However, Rhodes didn't care about the money, and after figuring out the functions and rules of the construction system, he quickly started again, building the hall, study and bedroom. Although the mercenary group was too small to build a first-class room, 7,800 gold coins still slipped through Rhodes' fingers. It wasn't until Rhodes had laid everything out that only 370 of the original 2,500 gold coins in his hand remained.

As the saying goes, spending money is like running water, and it's true.

However, looking at the new stronghold information in front of him, Rhodes was already very satisfied.

Name: Starlight

Scale: Small

Leader: Rhodes. Elant

Members: 1 person

Location: 1 (Medium)

Level: 1

Prestige: Obscurity

Facilities: Lobby (Lv:1 increases mood by 5%), study (Lv:1 allows you to investigate some information about the members), Bedroom (Lv:1 increases physical recovery by 5%).

It's done.

After reviewing all the information, Rod let out a long sigh, closed his eyes, and sat down on the wooden chair next to him. It took several minutes for his right index finger to tap the armrest lightly before he opened his eyes, his expression resolute and resolute.

From now on, things are finally on the track that Rhodes had hoped for.
