the last king of darkness

Chapter 149 The King of Sewers

The red-haired girl said calmly: "You are a one-star hunter now, and you can only clean up the sewers."

isn't it?
Then why did I work so hard to run out?
Rhodes stared at her: "How much does it cost to be promoted to two stars?"

Maybe it was because of a bad tone, a tall man shouted: "That guy, don't embarrass A Duo, the rules are the rules, if you don't accept it, go find the old man and beat him."

Rhodes glanced at him, and the guy knocked on the table with his wine glass.

"Iron Wolf Wade sends his greetings to you, and wishes you to fill your warehouse as soon as possible and enjoy your old age safely."

No malice, probably a common greeting.

Rhodes squeezed out a smile, took a breath, calmed down, and said to the red-haired girl, "I'm sorry, Miss A Duo, how can I get back to two stars?"

A Duo smiled kindly: "It's okay, Mr. Dawn Blade, I understand your feelings very well, you now need to complete 27 sewer missions before you can return to the two-star hunter."

One.

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds.

The guy shouted again: "Don't complain, since you have enjoyed the rights of a hunter, you should also assume the obligations of a hunter. Trorian is not free, and he didn't see you when he was fighting bloody battles on the front line."

Rhodes ignored him, and said to A Duo: "Bring the tasks, I will take them all."

These words attracted all the hunters who were drinking, and Rhode instantly felt dozens of eyes cast on him.

A Duo was surprised: "Mr. Dawn Blade, do you want to accept all the sewer tasks?"

"Yes."

"However, if you accept the task, others will not be able to take it. If you fail to complete the task beyond the time limit, you will be held accountable for accepting the task maliciously, or even criminally."

"Don't worry, I know, I can do it."

A Duo said in disbelief: "But, these are 34 tasks, and the shortest one has only three days left..."

Rhodes said a little impatiently: "I have special sewer cleaning skills, and I can finish these tasks in one night."

"really?"

A Duo looked a little disbelieving.

"Are you sure you can finish? You can start with four or five."

Rhodes said impatiently: "Do you know what the king of sewers is?"

"Ok."

A Duo quickly sorted out the 34 mission briefings and handed them to Rhodes.

"I wish you success in your mission, and may the fire walk with you all the way."

Until Rhodes walked out of the tavern, there was still a slight roar of laughter.

No one believed that this new guy could clean 34 sewers in one night.

Rhodes wasn't interested in explaining to them either.

To him, the sewer is no different from his own back garden. He has long been familiar with what kind of monsters there may be and how to deal with them most efficiently.

The complicated sewer route is not an obstacle at all for him.

As long as he doesn't go deep, Rhodes can fly freely in it.

27 and 34 make no difference to him.

Now that you've decided to go, let's just clear it all at once.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, Rhodes is indeed a unique sewer cleaner.

Not afraid of sneak attacks, not getting lost, and can accurately deal with all kinds of weak but very troublesome monsters.

For example, the plague rat, which is hated by all combatants.

This kind of monster has a large number, fast speed, small target, and plague infection. Once it is surrounded, it will be very troublesome. It has always been known as the king-level monster of the sewer.

And Rhodes can always find out their location in advance, and then throw a lightning stone full of energy wrapped in filth.

Some plague rats carry it back to their nests as bezoars.

With any luck, a thunderstone can clear out a plague rat lair.

When Rhodes was in the sewer, the plague rat was the one who killed the most.

The most important thing is that Rhodes has no weight-bearing problems, and there will be no shortage of supplies, and his endurance is extremely long.

Moreover, Rhode's economic strength is much stronger than when he entered the sewer.

At least real silver bullets and thunderstone tubes are enough.

Along the way, Rhodes pushed it sideways like a bulldozer.

He can solve the task of a block in only three to four quarters of an hour, and then follow the requirements of the task briefing, leave the hunter's mark and record the video, and then he can rush to the next block.

34 tasks, from 34 blocks, just cleared all the way.

As a man who memorized all the sewer maps, he easily solved the postman problem in the mission.

Sauron's training also showed a huge effect. Rhode's movements and speed were dozens of times faster than before. He could even kill some low-level monsters with his bare hands.

Even handjobs are much faster, he is now close to the limit speed of the spiritual gun structure, and he has also practiced the unique skill of firing and reloading.

When the battle was fierce, the gun was almost smoked by him.

At noon the next day, Rhodes returned to the hunter branch and handed over the photo crystal and 34 mission briefings.

"mission completed."

A Duo quickly checked one side, and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"It's really done?"

"34 tasks, seven hours!"

For a moment, A Duo was so moved that she almost cried, and the formulaic expression had long since disappeared from her face.

"Oh my God, are you the Fire Sect who came to save me? I'm no longer the leader of the Hunter branch who can't even clean a sewer."

As she cried, she quickly processed the task briefing, her slender fingers quickly sliding on a crystal touch screen under the counter.

A large rectangular crystal on the wall behind him lit up, and each task was quickly marked as completed.

The finisher is exactly his code name "Dawn Blade".

A Duo's Joy +101
Humanity +10
Rhodes scratched his head, wondering why she was so moved by him cleaning up a sewer.

And this psychic technology is simply against the sky.

No wonder none of them cared about electromagnetism, so they developed some mechanics.

Looking back, everyone in the tavern seemed to be petrified.

The iron wolf Wade who taunted him yesterday opened his mouth wide and stared at the crystal on the wall with bulging eyes. He even forgot to eat the buttered beef on his mouth, slipped off the fork and fell into his crotch.

"Ouch!"

Just as Iron Wolf was pulling out his crotch, Rhodes asked: "Miss A Duo, is there any task suitable for me now?"

A Duo's face was flushed, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, and he said softly, "Mr. Dawn Blade, you can call me by my name directly."

Rhodes hesitated, and shouted: "A Duo."

A Duo asked softly: "May I know your name?"

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and did not choose to report his real name. If the academy knew that he had secretly come to work, it would be somewhat troublesome.

"My name is Sauron."

A Duo showed a sincere smile: "So, two-star hunter Sauron, what kind of mission do you want?"

Rhodes said directly: "I want to hunt and kill powerful monsters."

A Duo didn't look at the thick task briefing in her hand, but showed a thoughtful look.

"Sorry, Sauron, can you tell me your combat level?"

Rhodes is a ninth-level combatant, but he definitely can't report it like this. After thinking about it, he said:
"Level seven."

A Duo's big eyes suddenly widened.

"You look so young, you are already a seventh-level combatant?"

Rhodes was startled, I am obviously dressed old enough, am I still young?
Aren't those small leaders of them all seventh-level?

A Duo approached and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you stay and develop in the Legion?"

When Rhodes didn't know how to explain, A Duo suddenly covered his mouth and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask."

But her bright eyes were filled with an unstoppable smile.

"Sauron, you are a two-star hunter. You are not allowed to take on high-threat missions, but you can do this by joining a team. However, if there is a large gap between the mission level and your star level, it cannot be accumulated." Experience increases the star."

Rhodes nodded, as long as he can participate in the hunt, the star level of the hunter is not that important.

A Duo raised his voice.

"Iron Wolf, come here, your last teammate has been found."

The iron wolf with butter in his crotch came over with a gloomy face and glanced at Rhodes.

"A Duo, you don't mean him, do you?"

A Duo said seriously: "Iron Wolf, he is a seventh-level combatant."

Iron Wolf looked at him suspiciously.

"really?"

"Sauron won't lie, he cleared 34 sewer tasks in seven hours."

This record made Iron Wolf shut up.

If it was him, seven hours would be enough time for him to make a new mission—rescue combatants lost in the sewers, or eliminate new monsters in the sewers.

But he didn't immediately agree.

This "Blade of Dawn" could tell at a glance that it was a newly bought hunter's license. No one knew what kind of strength he was, or whether he would deceive others.

There is also a disguise on the face, hiding the head and showing the tail, very suspicious.

"Are you Linghuo or Xinghuo?" Iron Wolf decided to find out his details before deciding whether to want him or not.

Rhodes replied: "Spark."

"How many fires did you light?"

"Four."

"what is it call?"

Rhodes hesitated for a moment. The name of the black rice bucket is too iconic, and he can be associated with him immediately.

Iron Wolf Wade said impatiently: "Just tell me what abilities you have."

Rhodes thought for a while and replied: "I have very high spiritual vision, can use spiritual cannons, can summon spirit boats, have the ability to cut souls, and have a strong ability to restore spiritual energy."

Iron Wolf gave him a suspicious look.

But generally speaking, hunters will not falsely report their abilities, which will directly lead to crisis for themselves and the team, and their lives will be lost.

"What's your psionic level, and your highest psionic strength?"

"Psychic level three, the highest psionic strength is 2.1 thousand ticks."

"It's too low." Iron Wolf shook his head, "It's not like a seventh-level combatant, but a student who just graduated."

Rhodes was taken aback, I am a freshman, did I graduate after only a few months of enrollment?
But this can’t be said, he thought for a while and replied: “But my actual combat ability is very strong, spiritual power can’t represent everything.”

Iron Wolf shook his head: "Sorry, I'm a psionicist, I really can't believe that the psionics are too low."

Before Rhodes could figure out what to say, A Duo spoke first.

"Iron Wolf, he has 34 sewer missions in seven hours."

Iron Wolf's face darkened.

This is indeed an irrefutable record, with photo crystals and hunter marks, it is basically impossible to fake it.

But he still pondered and didn't speak. As a hunter captain, it is very important to accurately judge the strength of the team members.

Each captain has his own preferences and details, but he has a special focus on psionics.

A Duo continued: "He has a calm mind, keen observation skills, outstanding reasoning ability, and is good at tracking and discovering small details. He is an excellent hunter."

Iron Wolf asked suspiciously: "How do you know?"

A bright smile appeared on A Duo's face.

"I saw it from his picture crystal. Without such qualities, how could he accomplish 34 sewer tasks in seven hours?"

Iron Wolf blushed from holding back, but he couldn't say a word of objection.

A Duo continued: "He also has a superhuman memory, can remember complicated sewer routes, has a strong deductive reasoning ability, can detect the type and range of activities of monsters from subtle traces, and has a keen sense of smell and superb wisdom. Never let a monster go..."

"Good good."

Iron Wolf raised his hands in surrender.

"I agreed."

Only then did A Duo smile.

"Iron Wolf, I knew you were the best. Here, I invite you for this cup of silk milk tea."

She put a cup of hot milk tea in front of him, and secretly winked at Rhodes.

Iron Wolf drank the milk tea melancholy, and stretched out his hand to Rhodes.

"Welcome to join the team. I am Iron Wolf Wade, a five-star hunter, a seventh-level combatant, a fifth-level psychic power, with a psychic power of 21 ticks. I am Spirit Fire, and my soul characteristic is greening. I am good at the front position in tactical positions."

After listening to the speech, Rhodes discovered how many loopholes there were in his words.

They are both level seven combatants, but their spiritual strength is ten times worse.

No wonder he didn't believe it.

Also, my psychic power is improving too slowly, so I must find a star that can quickly improve my psychic power.

After shaking hands, Iron Wolf's attitude changed obviously.

"Blade of Dawn, our mission was issued by the mayor of Qingcao Town. He suspected that a monster's lair appeared nearby, but he couldn't find the location. Some industries in the town were destroyed. It is preliminarily judged that the threat may exceed the protection of the town. Or, due to scheduling problems, they sent a hiring mission to the Hunter headquarters at the suggestion of the War Department, so this mission may be very troublesome, do you understand?"

Rhodes nodded.

"There are four people in the team. We will set off at the evening hour and gather at the East City Gate. There are still three hours left. You can go and prepare. Let's check the time now."

Iron Wolf took out his pocket watch, checked the time with Rhodes, and left in a hurry.

But Rhodes didn't go out immediately, he suddenly thought of some questions, and wanted to ask the person in charge of the hunter branch.

A Duo poured him a cup of black tea with a smile.

"Here, Sauron, what do you want to ask?"

now.

In the hidden branch base of Kingworth Academy, the real Sauron sneezed.

"It's strange, why my physique has become weaker, um, it must be because I have watched too much of this kind of stuff."

He put down the picture crystal in his hand, and planned to discuss the education of the students with Dean Vera and Chief Kalil.
