the last king of darkness

Chapter 148 I don't want to clean the sewer
It was a team of hunters.

It seems to be hired by the secret branch to cooperate with the students to perform a special task somewhere.

It suddenly occurred to Rhodes that he still had a hunter's license, which he had bought to leave the academy, and it had been kept in a corner after completing the sewer tour, almost forgotten.

The Hunter Corps is a mercenary free group. It is a legion established by Wangcheng to accommodate some specific groups of people. It is used for flexible mobilization, supplementing the vacancies of the official legion, and reducing administrative pressure.

Rhodes suddenly realized, isn't this the place tailor-made for me?
Most of the missions of the hunter group are issued by the military department, various defense areas or settlements, and occasionally by individuals, but no matter who the employer is, there must be clear goals and information.

In this way, don't I know where there are monsters suitable for my hunting?

Undertake the mission, find a few companions, and launch "Psionic Quintet" or "Soul Crit" at the right time, wouldn't that be enough?

There are also rewards.

The most important thing is that the goal is clear and relatively free.

I can choose the prey that suits me, and decide which tasks I will perform and which tasks I will not perform. Isn't this much more efficient?
Just do it, Rhodes immediately decided to set off.

Members of the secret branch can take leave.

You can quit if you can't bear the rigorous training, but once you quit, you can't join again.

This place is still quite helpful to him. Rhodes will naturally not quit, but he is too tired and mentally unbearable as an excuse, hoping to take a leave of absence for a period of time.

The specific training of the members with the "Strong" logo was in charge of Sauron. He was a clean, tall and thin man, and he always wore knight armor no matter where he went.

"Rhode, do you think I'm biased against you?"

After hearing Rhode's request, he focused his gaze on his face.

"I have studied your previous behaviors. You have a good record in Jianguan. You have cleaned up the sewers independently before and assisted in completing many missions. The actual combat effectiveness is relatively strong, but do you know where your shortcomings are? ?”

Rhodes tentatively asked: "Too weak in physical combat capability?"

Sauron shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "You still haven't understood the key point. Your characteristics are very strong, but your flaws are also very large. If your means fail, neither the spirit gun nor the lightning stone can cause damage. The psychic cannon has already You don't have any ability to do damage if you've used it or if no one has given you cover."

Of course Rhodes knows this, but he still has a way to summon things.

Isn't it normal to be called a younger brother if you can't win?
There is a saying, it can be used as a fart, who still plays heads-up these days?There are so many people now.

Of course, he didn't say this. They only knew that Rhodes bought four wooden puppets in the battle records, which played a big role.

Of course, this does not count as his ability.

Sauron continued: "You may think that it is too much for me to force you to train physical combat, but you have to understand that all the members who have passed the 'strong' mark are the core of the team. Do you know what a core is?"

Rhodes replied casually, "It's the thigh."

"thigh?"

Sauron gave him a strange look.

"Is this a new word for you young people? It's quite vivid. Imagine that you, as a thigh, must carry the burden of the team. The other players are supporting you and assisting you. If it can’t play a role all the time, what kind of thigh is it?”

He paused and continued.

"What's worse, your self-protection ability is too poor. In many dangerous environments, you can't be completely protected. A ferocious monstrosity can kill you with a single attack. Many monsters are born with ambushes. and surprise attacks, their super fast speed and ferocious attacks are difficult to completely defend against, and there are more monsters with more sinister abilities, which are hard to defend against."

"If the thigh is instantly killed, the team will basically collapse. And can such a thigh be called a thigh? Call it a ham."

"By the way, the ham in Smokey Town is delicious, you can try it when you have time."

Rhodes almost laughed, and quickly replied, "I see, thank you instructor."

The reasoning is correct. If there is time, Rhodes is willing to develop in an all-round way. He understands his flaws very well.

But now things have changed, and he must develop in a stronger direction as soon as possible.

Moreover, he also has some life-saving means that are not convenient to disclose.

"I just want to rest for a few days, is that okay?"

Sauron said indifferently: "Rhode, the special training is not to delay your growth, but to help you digest what you have gained in the sword pass. Your experience in the sword pass is very rich, and you can gain far more from digesting them. imagination."

"I think this is also the reason why you have the 'strong' logo. Generally speaking, a psychic strength of 2.1 thousand quarters is far from enough to become one of us."

Rhodes scratched his head: "Mr. Instructor, I understand very well, but I am very tired and want to rest for a few days, is that okay?"

"Rhode, your recovery ability is very strong. No matter how tiring you train, you will be full of energy the next morning. I was going to give you an extra class. After you mastered the basic use of psionic powers, I was going to teach you knights." The force technique specially used by the regiment, when using a specific weapon, the power of a single blow can reach one-tenth of your psychic cannon."

Rhodes had to admit that he was heartbroken.

His attack methods are too scarce, and this can be used as his supplement.

And he has [Bitter Blue], and he also has a cabin rocking chair, especially the latter, which has a particularly good effect on restoring the spirit. No matter how tired or exhausted, he only needs to sleep on it for one night, and he will be full of energy the next day.

All this time depends on it to survive.

However, he must gain absolute strength as soon as possible.

Training can take place between his battles.

"Instructor, my recovery ability is limited..."

Sauron glanced at him.

"Okay, I allow you to rest for three days, but whether it's theoretical knowledge classes or my training, you have to make up for it. Can you do it?"

Rhodes hurriedly said, "Yes."

Sauron stopped talking and turned to train the others.

In the training field, countless figures flickered back and forth, and Rhodes couldn't even see their movements clearly.

Physical combat ability seems to be commonplace for these top cadets.

Most of them have experienced much more battles than Rhodes, and their records are far more brilliant than Rhodes. Although the battle of Jianguan was tragic, it was nothing in the entire human defense line. If Rhodes did not come, they would just give up in advance After crossing the sword pass, we changed to guard the rear.

Moreover, the reason why the battle of Jianguan became so violent was also due to the manipulation of Gregor, a doomsday cultist.

Still too little time to grow up.

Rhodes thought.

He has only been in the academy for a few months, and he has become a member of the top of these battle-hardened special operations groups.

And his classmates are still attending classes normally, guarding the gate of the college that has no enemies every day.

Unknowingly, there has been a big gap with Kashan and the others.

Rhodes sighed slightly.

Maybe this is fate.

After explaining the situation of asking for leave to Professor Binns, Rhodes finally stepped out of the base of the secret branch.

Since it was night, the staff of the college dimmed the luminous objects, which created a nighttime atmosphere in the college.

A large number of trainees were talking and laughing as they walked towards the Heidler training ground next to the secret base to start their combat lessons.

Rhodes who came out of the mysterious base attracted many curious eyes, but he ignored them and quickly left the academy.

Rhodes first went to the market in the inner city to make a big purchase, supplemented the urgently needed supplies, and then made a little camouflage before heading to the nearest hunter branch.

The Hunter headquarters is a functional organization, and specific affairs such as undertaking tasks are completed in the Hunter branch.

Tasks include hunting monsters, cleaning up threats, escorting teams, delivering supplies, assisting in combat, and more.

Unlike regular legions, hunters have no salary or distribution of supplies. They can only rely on themselves. Those who choose to become hunters are mostly people who cannot get used to the collective combat of legions. Therefore, most of them work in small groups. relatively comprehensive.

From this point of view, Sauron's point of view is very correct.

But Rhodes didn't have that much time, he had to compress his training to make time for soul acquisition.

The Hunter branch is located in Rand Plaza in the seventh district of the outer city, and looks like a tavern.

It's actually a tavern too.

It only caters to Hunter customers, though.

Rhodes pushed open the grille gate made of copper strips, and a voice shouted, "Sir, please show your hunter license."

Rhodes took out a silver medal with the words "Blade of Dawn" engraved on it, which was the hunter's code name.

Due to some complicated reasons, hunters may not show their real names, and usually call each other by code names. Hunter licenses are the only documents that can prove their identities and restrict their behavior.

"Light it up, sir."

Rhode poured in spiritual energy as he said, and the words "Blade of Dawn" glowed dimly.

"Mr. Dawn Blade, because you haven't performed missions for several months, your star rating has been reduced from two stars to one star. If you still haven't completed the minimum hunter obligations in the next month, we will revoke you license."

Rhodes didn't care. The hunter's license didn't cost a penny. It was given to him by a businessman with a brain.

Hunters don't pay salaries, and star ratings are meaningless.

He took a look. The interior layout of the tavern was quite ordinary. There was a circular counter right in front of it. There were dozens of tables, large and small, in the brightly lit hall. There was a burning fireplace, but it was just an ordinary flame.

There are stairs on the side. The hunter branch has three floors, and the upper two floors may be the office.

There were not many people in the tavern, only about a dozen people, and most of them were wearing hunter trench coats.

Some talked quietly, some were silent, and no one was interested in him.

Behind the counter is a young woman with fiery red hair and a round face, looking very cute.

It was she who reminded Rhodes just now.

In order to avoid trouble, Rhodes deliberately changed his image to look old-fashioned.

He walked to the counter, deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Hello, is there any task suitable for me?"

The red-haired girl read in a formulaic voice: "Mr. Dawn Blade, we have 34 sewer cleaning tasks, which are issued by the Department of Defense of Street Cross Street in the first district of the outer city, the Department of Defense of Firestone Street, and the Department of Defense of Hammer Street in the second district." ..."

Rhode's face darkened, why did he come to be a hunter and clean up the sewer?If I want to go to the sewer, can I go directly?

"No, I don't want to clean the sewer, anything else?"
