Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector Emperor

Reincarnated in the world of Musashi Reincarnation, Rhodes inherited a strange small country on the verge of destruction.

Fortunately, if you activate the system in time, collect important people and items, defeat enemies and achieve achievements, you can get rewards!

At the beginning, the novice gift package gave me a critical hit of six eyes and unlimited power, and I soared to the sky from then on.

He defeated the three major schools and became the only Sword God to end the reincarnation fate of the Dragon God and devour the human god who was the mastermind behind the scenes!

…….

Alice: Humph, there’s really…there’s nothing I can do. I’ll just be your collection!

Sylphy: I like Rod, so it’s okay~

Luo Qixi: As long as Rod doesn’t forget me, it doesn’t matter how many people there are.

…….

Until an elf magician came with a little girl calling herself Fulilian.

Rhodes discovered that the world was not that simple.

Initial World: Musashi Reincarnation Fulilian TBD

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector Emperor
001 The King’s Treasure, Six Eyes with No Limits
“Rod, I entrust the country and the people to you. Whether you become a dissolute tyrant or a wise king whose name will be remembered through the ages, it is up to you…”
“You must be jealous of me. After all, I’m going to meet your gentle and beautiful mother, hahahaha!”
“You don’t have to carry anything on your shoulders. Just grow up happily as you wish… We are praying for you in heaven, my dear son…”
…..
Crash——
The bathtub overflowed with warm water.
Five-year-old Rhodes relaxed his brow, slowly opened his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
“Are you dreaming again?”
His eyes were fixed on the unfamiliar ceiling, his little arms hanging limply on the edge of the bathtub.
The air carried the slightly rotten smell of wooden structures.
“I’ve traveled through time…”
Rhodes was silent for a long time and murmured.
“No, or perhaps reincarnation would be more appropriate.”
The memories of being a corporate slave for decades in my previous life were not fully awakened until early this morning.
Before that, he spent nearly five years as a prince of a country in another world.
It sounds enviable, but actually…
“He’s called a prince, but I’m afraid he’s not even as good as an ordinary noble.”
According to his limited memory.
This country called Arcadia actually only controls the capital city of Elserland.
The territory of the so-called capital is even smaller than that of a rural village in the country of the previous life.
The king, his father, is also unreliable. He is more interested in fighting monsters than governing the country, and he often leads troops outside.
The country’s small size might actually be the reason why it can barely maintain itself.
Rhodes complained somewhat helplessly.
“So, I am considered the village chief’s son?”
If it were just that, he could enjoy a life better than that of ordinary villagers.
But from what he knew, Arcadia was still in a war zone plagued by constant fighting.
The rise and fall of nations is measured in months, and countless nations are established and destroyed every year.
Even this status that can barely be considered as a superior person is precarious. This is his current situation.
The family in this life is not a traditional noble family, and there are no relatives who can provide help.
The previous king founded this country with the ambition to end the troubled times, but unfortunately, the cause was not even half completed…
His mother died when he was just giving birth to him, and his father, who was a king, died the day before yesterday in a war with a neighboring country.
“…….”
Rhodes rubbed his face vigorously to clear himself from his wandering thoughts.
“call–“
“Although my feelings towards my parents in this life are complicated due to my reincarnation, as a son, I must shoulder the responsibility of avenging my father no matter what.”
Thinking of the carefree figure in his vague memory, Rhodes made a silent promise in his heart.
“But the most important thing right now is… can a five-year-old really sustain this country in this precarious situation?”
This world is set up with fighting spirit and magic.
Therefore, when the strength of a strong person reaches a certain level, he can completely subvert and maintain a country by his own strength.
Rhodes racked his brains, looking for a possible way out.
“First, we must recruit as many strong individuals as possible to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of our weakness and invading. However, we must also consider the possibility of inviting a wolf into our home. It is best to strengthen our own capabilities at the same time.”
“Logically, the late king should have assigned me teachers in the palace. They should have been trustworthy confidants. I wonder if they are still around…”
“Damn, come to think of it, it’s a question how many people in the army are trustworthy right now. Maybe even the servants in the palace have turned against them…”
Rhodes really wanted to complain about the unreliable former king who liked to lead the army in person.
You said that you finally became the king, why not let your subordinates fill in the gaps?
He was left as a five-year-old kid to clean up the mess.
It has been five years, and he hasn’t discovered any cheats. How can he survive in this magical world?
Perhaps before the enemy invades, he will be sent to the guillotine by the army and mobs that bully the young master.
Damn it, is it destined that I will be sent away after reincarnation?
At this moment, a mechanical sound suddenly rang in Rhodes’ ears.
[Detected that the host has inherited the throne~]As the words fell, a translucent screen instantly unfolded before his eyes.
【Ten Crown System Activated! 】
[Host: Rod Arthur Carradros][Level: E][Title: The Weak Pseudo-King][Special Ability: King’s Treasure][Introduction: The host can collect famous characters and items from the original world as concubines or subordinates to gain a chance to win a lottery. Defeating important characters to gain achievements and titles will also earn rewards.]Rhodes’ eyes lit up and he suppressed his inner excitement.
“It’s finally here!”
“It seems that your cheat needs to be activated after you inherit the throne!”
If nothing unexpected happens, then we will have to wait at least another ten years!
No, don’t forget that there are still many decades of crown princes in the world…
Rhodes complained with mixed feelings and checked the special abilities granted by the system.
“Collection?… That means I traveled to an anime world from my previous life.”
Because Rhodes was young, he did not have much contact with the outside world.
With his limited memory, it was difficult for him to determine what world this place belonged to.
Now it seems that if you want to make the most of this plug-in, you need to actively participate in the main storyline as much as possible and get in touch with those people in the original work!
Rhodes continued to read.
[Note: The power of the King’s Treasure is related to the country’s overall rating. As the country’s rating increases, rewards of corresponding levels will be removed from the lottery pool.]Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking.
“That is to say, if the national evaluation is A-level, then the lowest level of award will also be A-level.”
“Well…it’s a really simple and easy to understand explanation.”
“So what is my current national rank?”
As if responding to his request.
The translucent screen switched as Rhodes intended, revealing another interface.
【Country: Arcadia
Social stability: E (rotten)
Military Ability: E
Cultural Technology: E
Economic prosperity: E
Political Management: E
International influence: E
Speciality: EX (cannot be evaluated)][Overall rating: Unstable regime, unrecognized, odd little country that could be destroyed at any time. Rated E because the lowest rating is E. (Recommend opening margin)][Based on the current national evaluation, the host will be given a chance to draw a lottery for their abilities][Note: The rating of a reward is only related to its performance, strength, and importance in the original world.]The corners of Rhodes’ mouth twitched slightly.
“I should have thought of that earlier.”
Rather, it is good enough to have a decent evaluation.
He thought that this “village country” was not even recognized as a country by the system.
Relying on plug-ins and one’s own knowledge and experience, the development of the country is a matter of time.
Rhodes quickly cheered up from his helplessness.
What is most urgent now is to improve your ability to save your life.
So as to avoid sending it out before starting to revitalize the country.
You know, this is not a peaceful world!
“Luckily, there’s still one chance to draw a prize. Theoretically, if you’re lucky enough, you can get a prize above E level, or even EX level!”
Rod climbed out of the bathtub, dried his wet black hair with a towel, supported himself on the cracked wall with his right hand, took a deep breath, and looked determined.
“Whether we can break through safely depends on this moment!”
“System, draw a lottery!”
After a dazzling flash of silver light.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the A-level reward—Six Eyes with No Limits! ]“…I’m super, Satoru!”

Before Rhodes could start complaining about having acquired the unlucky ability of Prison Master.
The system upgrade sound sounded again.
[Detecting that the host’s current world has no magical power settings, the system has automatically modified Six Eyes and No Lower Limit.]The silver reward frame shattered with a snap and transformed into dazzling gold.
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the S-level reward – Six Eyes, No Limits]“Hmm…”
Rhodes suddenly felt a sharp pain in his eyes and couldn’t help but close them tightly.
However….
Even with his eyes closed, he can still “see”!
His gaze kept rising and ascending, and finally he looked down at the entire palace like God!
——That was a 365-degree visual circle with no blind spots covering the entire palace within the huge sphere centered on him!
“!!!”
He saw a male servant sneak out the back door with silver.
He saw an old butler silently wiping the dagger, and after hesitating for a long time, he hid it in his arms.
He saw two guards at the door talking in low voices, looking restless and ready to leave at any moment.
……..
Everyone in the palace was outlined by magic.
Their every move could not escape his sight.
No one knew that their secrets had been seen by a five-year-old child!
The God’s-eye view scene shocked Rhodes deeply.
“Just awakened, can the six eyes’ vision reach this level?!”
“And it’s just about expanding your field of vision, without even consuming any energy!”
“I don’t feel any physical burden at all.”
“But as expected, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter…”
Rhodes just chuckled and sighed when he saw these scenes, and he was not surprised at all.
He cares more about the power gathered within himself than what others think.
The six eyes could observe that there were light spots in the air constantly converging towards his body.
“I see… Is that the ether in the air?”
“The passively deployed six eyes are balanced by the ether automatically absorbed by my body, so no additional consumption is required.”
The cursed power used in the Jujutsu Kaisen world is based on the negative emotions that naturally occur in the human body.
After the system transformation, the Six Eyes absorbs external ether for replenishment, which makes it much more convenient.
Now Rhodes could see the flow of magic power clearly.
And it seems that everyone in this world has more or less magic power in their body, which allows him to use six eyes to see the movements of everyone within his sight!
This change has both advantages and disadvantages.
Compared to the prison masters who only need to be wary of sorcerers and cursed spirits, Rhodes has to deal with a much greater density of information.
This is likely to prevent him from identifying the threat target in the first place.
Rhodes then compared the magic power in his body with that of the guards at the palace gate.
Finally, I came to the conclusion that I am only about one-fifth of the other person’s ability.
“Well, Unlimited is a skill that consumes quite a bit of mana. It seems I need to find a way to increase my magic limit.”
“I just don’t know if the observation range of the six eyes will increase as I grow.”
Rhodes noticed that a maid was mending clothes in the room not far away. The magic power in her body was even greater than that of the guards at the palace gate, but the magic power flowing through her feet was a little sluggish.
“Have you ever hurt your ankle?”
Rhodes set his current magic power to E as a reference, and the maid’s level was as high as B!
However, the opponent’s magic power is concentrated in the limbs, and most of them are so-called magic swordsmen, rather than traditional magicians.
The six eyes can observe a lot of details, and can even allow Rhodes to vaguely sense the other party’s training intensity and talent limit.
He kept his gaze on her for a while, and finally gave a guess as to the maid.
[Magic Power: B, Swordsmanship: B, Maid Ability: To be determined]After adjusting to this perspective for a while, Rhodes looked away and suddenly stretched his right hand straight toward the table not far away.
A small mirror on the table began to vibrate instantly.
Rhodes closed his eyes, frowned slightly, increased his magic power, and recited firmly.
“No bottom line, Cang!”
Bang–
The small mirror suddenly rushed into Rhodes’ hands.
Rhodes subconsciously took a step back to avoid stumbling and falling.
He looked at the small mirror in his palm, and his clenched palms turned slightly red, and he was a little shocked.
“Cang is the force of attraction that creates a powerful absorption reaction. If used to attract objects, the reaction force caused by mass and speed should also be considered, otherwise it is easy to kill yourself.”
Rhodes silently noted the key points and then observed his own magic power consumption.
“Just this one move consumed a third of my mana…it’s really a big mana hog.”
Rhodes thought about it and still felt that the [Cang] move was a bit dangerous. It would be safer to use it together with the [Power of Stop] when absorbing entities.
Afterwards, he waited until his magic power slowly recovered, and then tried to create an infinite barrier all over his body.
The good news is that with the help of the Six Eyes, he can complete the construction in a very short time!
The bad news is that due to insufficient magic power, it can only last for five minutes at most.
“Damn, now I’m Kakashi again.”
Rhodes really wanted to complain that this output was indeed due to kidney deficiency.
But for a five-year-old child, we can’t ask too much.
Rhodes wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, scratched his head, and analyzed the current situation.
“The system transformed the No Lower Limit into magic power. The advantage is that as long as I have enough magic power, I can activate the No Lower Limit permanently without worrying about my brain being burned by the magic or even the magic melting.”
“The downside is…”
Rod buried his face in the towel helplessly and sighed.
“The Prison Master can use reversal techniques to continuously repair damaged brain tissue, achieving near-permanent, unlimited passive abilities.”
“It can even release the Reversal Technique, He, which represents repulsion, and the Void Technique, Qi, which combines positive and negative infinity.”
“This is all because cursed energy has positive and negative properties!”
“Damn it! Where did the negative properties of magic come from? How can you reverse it…”
Magic power is basically equivalent to vitality.
A reversal of life force? Could it be the power of death?
“Could it be that my unlimited power can only use [Stop] and [Suction]? Wouldn’t that make me half useless?”
As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, he quickly shook his head to deny this possibility.
“But that’s not right. If that were the case, the system wouldn’t be able to raise the rating of someone with no lower limit to S-level.”
“Or does it mean that in order to generate repulsive force, a special method is needed…”
Rhodes put his finger on his chin, suddenly stopped mumbling, and spoke in a cold voice.
“What’s up?”
The maid who had hesitated for a long time at the door and was about to knock was stunned for a moment and spoke hurriedly.
“Your Majesty, I’ve noticed you haven’t been out for a long time, and I’m worried about you…”
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, rubbed his cheeks, put on an innocent expression, wrapped himself in a bath towel, opened the bathroom door, and said apologetically.
“I’m sorry I made you worry, I just wanted to be alone.”
“No, no…I acted on my own initiative!”
The maid seemed frightened by Rhode’s apology. She hurriedly picked up her glasses that were about to fall off, and bowed vigorously while holding the bathrobe with obvious marks of mending.
When the six eyes are at close range, they can not only sense the outline of magic, but can even see the other person’s appearance and clothing clearly.
The difference from observing with regular vision is probably that the world through six eyes is less colorful.
The maid was dressed in standard Victorian style, with a white apron decorated with ruffles, a black collared dress and black short leather boots.
This was the first time Rhodes saw a maid.
His evaluation was that it was novel but also a little disappointing.
He had expected to see a maid wearing white knee-high socks.
However, if there really was such a maid, Rhode would still like to hide and admire her alone.
If you think about it carefully, normal maid uniforms are designed for work purposes and are completely different from the seductive clothes with only a little bit of fabric in some works.
The maid in front of me was wrapped tightly like a nun, wearing a white headscarf and tying up her long brown hair.
She looked less than eighteen years old, but she was very tall and wealthy, with a beautiful appearance, and she exuded a sharp and decisive temperament.
Rhodes couldn’t help but look at Da Lei.
Hiss—Okay.
He would like to give his maid an S rating!
However, why does this maid always give him an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!
003 The maid’s name is Lilia? (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
The maid blushed and spoke softly in embarrassment.
“The late king just passed away, so I should be more considerate of His Majesty Arthur’s feelings!”
Rhodes subconsciously shuddered and quickly raised his hand to deny it.
“Um, if you can, just call me Rhodes.”
The maid tilted her head in confusion.
“Eh? But that’s what the late king used to call you. He even said he wanted to give his grandson the middle name of Arthur.”
“That’s because he still misses his mother!”
Rhodes was also helpless.
It seems that his mother in this life is called Arthur.
When he first awakened his memories of his past life, he almost thought that he had a silly-haired mother and that all he had to do was be a filial son and take good care of her.
It turns out that only the name is the same.
He has a bit of PTSD about the name Arthur, especially since he is still a prince. He always feels that the combination of these two buffs will make his end as miserable as the prison master.
Especially since the late king seemed to want his descendants to be named Arthur I, Arthur II, etc…
Rhodes declined even more politely.
“Anyway, just call me Rhodes. After all, that’s my name.”
“Well, if you insist.”
The maid responded reluctantly, not hiding her regret.
She seemed to like the name Arthur.
The maid suddenly thought of something and quickly squatted down to carefully put a bathrobe on Rhodes, emphasizing that she was busy with a serious expression.
“By the way, please put on your bathrobe! The weather is getting colder now. Although it’s not as cold as in the north, you still have to be careful of catching a cold.”
Rhodes felt a little uncomfortable with the maid’s hands stroking his whole body and wanted to take it and put it on himself.
“Let me do it.”
“No, that’s a maid’s job!”
The maid was extremely tough on this matter. In the end, Rhodes gave in under her inexplicably tough aura and was served with a bathrobe until she put on it.
In his previous life, he was a otaku. After graduating from college, he never met a gentle girl again. All the female colleagues in the company were busy boxing, so he suffered from fear of marriage.
Being treated so gently by the beautiful girl made him a little flustered for a moment, but fortunately he quickly calmed down.
Originally, Rhodes had never felt very real about reincarnation, but at this moment, he suddenly began to like life in this world.
“Huh?”
Rhodes suddenly discovered that the material of the bathrobe seemed to be special, and he felt warm as soon as he put it on.
The maid saw Rhodes’ confusion and explained with a chuckle.
“Your Majesty, this is made from the fur of the D-rank monster, the Rat, which inhabits the Demon Continent. It’s considered average quality for clothing, and is highly resistant to poison and acid.”
Lucky Rat……
Rhodes’ face twitched slightly.
Forget it, just experience the charm of the other world at that time.
The sensitive maid noticed Rhodes’s expression and obviously misunderstood his meaning. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
“I’m sorry. I know I’ve tarnished your majesty’s status with this kind of clothing, and my sewing skills are shoddy. But now… um, please forgive me, Your Majesty, I’d better go get a new one.”
Rhodes quickly supported the maid who tried to kneel down, shook his head and chuckled.
“No, I like it very much, and your craftsmanship is also very good. Let’s take this one.”
The maid looked up in surprise and stared at Rhodes with wide eyes, as if she couldn’t believe that these words came out of his mouth.
After a moment, she immediately realized the rudeness of this action and quickly lowered her head.
“Yes, yes… Thank you for your tolerance.”
Rhodes was speechless.
Why did she react as if I would drag her out and chop off her head just for a piece of clothing?
Am I that scary?
All right.
Before his memories were awakened, he did adapt to local customs and had the arrogance of a noble, but he was not to the extent of doing evil and being frightening.
Although he thought about pretending to be a child to avoid suspicion, he really couldn’t do such a thing as he had the thinking of an adult.
Never mind, let them think whatever they want.
Rhodes chose to change the subject to break the slightly awkward atmosphere.
“Anyway, I’m a little hungry. If you have anything else, just report to me while I eat.”
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
The maid peeked at Rhodes’ cheek curiously, her eyes revealing admiration and confusion.
I always feel that the little prince…His Majesty has matured a lot.
At such a young age, he knows how to care about national affairs. He doesn’t act like a child at all!
Could it be that he grew up because of the adversity he experienced?
Thinking of this, the maid felt even more pity.
“etc!”
The maid suddenly realized something was wrong and swallowed. She looked at Rhodes anxiously through her black-framed glasses with her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling.
“Your Majesty, your eyes…?!”
The maid then realized that Rhodes had kept his eyes closed the entire time since he left the house!
But because Rhodes performed so smoothly, she didn’t even realize it until now!
Is it because I was so sad that I cried so hard that I couldn’t see anymore?
Woo…why do so many misfortunes have to befall the little prince!
This discovery was like a bolt from the blue, and the maid almost hugged Rhodes and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Rhodes quickly spoke to comfort him.
“Don’t overthink it. My eyes are fine. I just awakened my magic eyes and need to adapt for a while.”
The maid stopped sobbing temporarily, and her eyes lit up with hope again, but she was timid and dared not believe it.
“Wow… Devil’s Eye? But I’ve never heard of anyone awakening their Devil’s Eye later in life…”
Rhodes didn’t explain, just sighed softly and opened his eyes slightly.
The maid’s eyes widened, she covered her mouth and almost screamed out.
I saw that those eyes were as clear as ice crystal!
Gazing at those blue pupils, the maid seemed to see the gorgeous and lofty sky.
The blue-green eyes of the sky, filled with strong confidence, burst out with shocking majesty and oppression.
It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing, pressing down on her shoulders.
Just by looking at such a pair of eyes, she sighed in despair from deep within her heart, unable to muster any hostile thoughts.
It seems that in front of this boy, there are no secrets in the world and everyone can only bow down to him.
The maid suppressed her trembling body and spoke in a trembling voice.
“I, I understand. Your Majesty, please take back the Demon Eye.”
Seeing that the maid understood the situation, Rhodes closed his eyes again and explained calmly.
“The reason why my Demonic Eye awakened later in life may be because I am special.”
The maid breathed a sigh of relief from the terrible pressure, and then immediately raised her hand and swore in a firm tone.
“I guarantee with my life that I will never tell your secret to anyone.”
Rhodes “saw” the maid’s awareness and realized that what she said and did was not hypocritical.
The other party’s previously unconcealed worry and concern also made him, who was full of vigilance, gradually accept the other party.
For the first time, a sincere smile appeared on Rhodes’ face.
“Yeah, I understand.”
Rhodes believes that there must be at least two layers of trump cards.
One layer can be detected by the other party with great effort, and the other layer must never be known.
Compared to the system, the ability of Six Eyes would be a deterrent if exposed at the right time.
However, the maid’s performance just now obviously passed his test, which made him even happier.
The maid carefully took Rhodes’ hand and walked to the restaurant.
Although Rhodes repeatedly claimed that he could see the road, the maid still stubbornly held his hand.
Liu Yan could see the blush that occasionally flashed across the maid’s face, and Rhodes couldn’t help but wonder if the maid had ill intentions towards him.
However, when Liuyan observed that the other party’s vital energy was still intact, Rhodes generously forgave the other party’s coveting.
A huge round table was placed in the middle of the deserted and empty restaurant.
Rhodes was led to the main seat by the maid. He stroked the wood grain on the table with his right hand and could vaguely guess the hustle and bustle of the banquets in the past.
The maid quickly brought up the dinner on a cart, placed the cutlery on the table, and lit the oil lamp before speaking a little embarrassedly.
“Since the previous cook has left, I’ll be in charge of the meals. If you find it hard to swallow, I’ll go to the restaurant outside and pack some for you.”
Rhodes looked at the food on the table.
Dinner was black bread, a pot of vegetable stew and a smoked fish.
In terms of appearance, after being accustomed to the dazzling array of delicacies in the Central Plains in my previous life, this scene really makes it difficult to arouse my appetite.
However, Rhodes just silently picked up the bread and took a bite, frowning slightly but still chewing it slowly and eating it.
“Hmm… a little hard, but tastes good.”
“His Majesty…….”
Tears welled up in the maid’s eyes again.
She could see that Rhodes was being hypocritical and was moved by his consideration.
The maid seems to be a very emotional person.
Every move of Rhodes made her flattered.
Seeing this, Rhodes quickly changed the subject.
“By the way, I didn’t ask your name.”
“My name? My name is Lilia.”
“……..?!”
004 Collect Lilia, unlimited lottery cards! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
[Detected that the target is fully loyal to the protagonist. 】
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the A-rank important figure, Lilia! ][Adaptive keywords: swordsmanship\maid][Reward: A-level corresponding character summon card! ][Congratulations to the host for completing the first collection. ]【Reward: Unlimited lottery cards! 】
Before Rhodes could recover from the shock of learning the other party’s name, a series of prompt sounds from the system gave him a huge surprise.
In other words, the other party is indeed Lillia from the Reincarnation World!
Rhodes was surprised and confused for a moment.
He didn’t understand why Lilia appeared beside him and became his maid.
What’s more important is that Lilia is still in a pure state now!
This is also completely different from the original history.
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by time travel?
Rhodes thought about it for a moment, then stopped worrying and turned his attention to the collection rewards.
[A-level corresponding character summoning card, the maximum upper limit of the summoned character is A-level. 】
[Limited scope, those with swordsmanship or maid keywords.]Rhodes was thoughtful.
Limited scope….
It seems that the rewards for collecting are also related to the objects in your collection.
Rhodes remembered that Lilia’s father was a famous kendo master, and his family had a dojo waiting to be inherited.
It’s not surprising that the [Swordsmanship] entry would appear, and there’s no need to explain the [Maid] entry either.
Rhodes also gained a deeper understanding of the system’s mechanisms.
The country’s upgrade determines the lower level of rewards in the card pool.
The collection of the King’s Treasure determines the upper limit of what can be obtained.
By the way, if you upgrade your country to S-level, but collect a B-level person, what rewards will you get?
[If this happens, the host can directly designate any B-level item or person and obtain it immediately.]Rhodes cheered up.
What?
Can you specify this card pool?!
[Any card obtained by the host can be designated as a target. ]“Then I…”
[However, the more entries the host adds, the clearer the target is, and the longer it takes to summon it.]Rhodes’s newly-awakened excitement was immediately dampened.
I thought I could just summon a god to take off!
Rhodes pinched his brows and lowered his head in thought.
Although Lilia felt that her Majesty’s sudden deep thought was a little strange, she just quietly retreated to the door and stood guard, not letting anyone in to disturb him.
Rhodes judged that since this was a world of reincarnation without a job, the current ceiling of active combat power should be the human god and the dragon god.
The Dragon God Orsted has learned all the swordsmanship, secret techniques and magic in the world through more than a hundred time cycles.
Rhodes was confident that he could surpass his opponent, but definitely not now!
The Dragon God’s only goal is to kill the Human God. To this end, he constantly tries to guide the fate of some people to make the future favorable to him.
And Rhodes’ existence will inevitably change all kinds of destinies, which is very likely to be the opposite of the future that the Dragon God wants to guide.
In other words, the possibility of me facing him cannot be ruled out.
Rhodes became alert.
“Well, we have to consider the future of a head-on battle with him…”
The best way to deal with the Dragon God is to completely crush him with numerical superiority.
But if he wants to grow, what he needs most is time.
Will the strong people in this world give him a chance to grow peacefully…
And the human god…….
Rhodes frowned deeply.
The Human God once destroyed the Dragon Realm with a ball of light, and now he is staying in the inaccessible world of nothingness, fooling the world through his apostles.
If the Dragon God still has a chance to avoid hostility.
So no matter what, humans and gods are potential enemies that he cannot avoid and must kill!
Moreover, the other party has the ability to gain the unconditional trust of the human race in this world, as well as the ability to read minds and see into the future. Dealing with it is both troublesome and disgusting!
Rhodes’ expression suddenly froze and his face looked ugly.
Damn, if the human god could really see the future, he would definitely know that he was against him!
If by chance the other party cannot see the future after you appear, you can only breathe a sigh of relief briefly at best.
As long as they filter out the only extra alien in this world – that is, themselves, sooner or later, humans and gods will immediately understand who is causing trouble.
People who like to have everything under control will not like the feeling of being out of control.
Maybe the apostle sent by the other party to kill him is already on the way!
A thick haze instantly enveloped his heart.
The possibility of becoming enemies with the two strongest people in the world made a strong sense of crisis constantly surge into his mind.
Rhodes’s brain began to work rapidly.
Putting aside the Dragon God for now, it is still unclear what kind of apostles the Human God can use now, but there must be something like the seven great powers!
And I’m only five years old now!
Rhodes gave the order in his mind without thinking.
“System, specify label:”
“Holy Sword, Heroic Spirit, the Last King of the Age of Gods.”
“Mom, save me!”
It would be best if we could summon the fully equipped King of Arthur with the holy sword + scabbard + holy spear!
Rhodes was willing to worship her as his adoptive mother on the spot and swore to be a respectful and filial son!

[Reminder: Overly obvious labels are no different from designated summon targets.][And because of Arthur’s unique nature as a Holy Sword Master, no matter what his spiritual base is, it is impossible for him to be rated A-level.]Upon hearing this, Rhodes immediately argued in his mind unconvinced.
“Tongzi, Saber’s stats are all A, even her chest is A. Isn’t she definitely an A-rank character?!”
【…….】
The system seemed to be silent for a moment because of Rhodes’ theory.
[Reminder: The system summons a character to obey the host. This is essentially a contract chosen by the other party voluntarily, and the system only enforces the other party to prevent breach of contract.]“contract?”
[The system will allow the other party to see the possibility of realizing their long-cherished wish by following the host, which also ensures the subjective initiative of the summoned character.][The system will not summon characters who have already fulfilled their wishes and have no desires, or whose wishes would harm the host!]Rhodes was not disappointed when he heard this. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Unexpectedly, just a slight test without any hope would reveal an important unspoken rule of the system.
There is a “defect” in the system’s summoning function.
After understanding this, Rhodes felt inexplicably relieved.
This showed that the characters summoned by the system were real, and they chose to obey Rhodes voluntarily.
If the summoned character was bound by force or fabricated out of thin air, he probably wouldn’t know how to deal with it.
[So, even if Arthur is considered an A-rank character, the perfect king that the host wishes to summon will not respond…]The system suddenly crashed for a moment.
The red negative sign on the system panel suddenly blurred and then turned green.
[The probability of Old Sword Arthur responding is 15%, and the probability of Altria (unknown spiritual base) responding is 1200%.]【Summon Altria immediately?】
“…….ha???”
Rhodes was dumbfounded.
I was just saying that casually.
How can this be summoned?
Just because my mother’s name is Arthur, is your name Arthur too?
And what do you mean by this “off-the-charts” possibility? Are you hunting me down because I owe you money?!
Rhodes always felt a chill on his back.
Then he weighed the pros and cons and gritted his teeth.
“…Uh, but for safety’s sake, let’s summon it.”
“It would be even better if the holy sword in Arthur’s hand could unlock the thirteen restraints.”
Rhodes thought optimistically.
“Then I can sit back and relax and start being a corrupt royal right away.”
[Hint: The time required to summon the character is currently 3650 days. Do you want to confirm the summon?]“???”
What? Ten years?!
After waiting for ten years, I will either send it or directly complete this kind of world!
After asking the system, Rhodes finally understood.
A random summon without any conditions can summon the target immediately, but the more tags you add, the longer the summoning will take!

Rhodes decisively chose to give up the unrealistic idea, took a deep breath and raised his head to ask a question.
“Lilia, is Father leaving me another teacher?”
Lilya, who was in the distance, was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to Rhodes’ side, leaned over and answered in a low voice.
“As far as I know, the teacher who will teach you culture and management has not yet been selected. After all, the late king himself was not interested in this…”
“As expected.”
Lilya was worried that her actions would worsen Rhode’s impression of the late king, so she quickly tried to make amends.
“However, it seems the late king has selected a sword and magic instructor for you!”
Rhodes’ interest was rekindled.
“Oh? Where are they?”
“That swordsmanship teacher will be here in seven days. I heard he’s a master of the Northern Divine School!”
Lilia’s slightly excited voice concealed the swordsman’s envy and admiration for the strong.
“I heard that he had previously refused the late king’s requests many times, but for some reason, he suddenly agreed to become your teacher after the late king’s passing. Perhaps he is a kind-hearted person and is concerned about your situation.”
Hearing this, Rhodes’s excited blood instantly cooled down and his eyes flickered.
“Hokushin-ryu…”
He remembered that almost all the masters of the Beishen School had been used by human gods, even including the strongest Beishen who inherited the blood of the immortal demon clan.
Is the temptation from God coming so soon?
Or am I overthinking it…
“Oh, by the way, let me briefly introduce the current swordsmanship schools to Your Majesty! I am quite capable of this kind of popular science work.”
Lilia briefly introduced the three major swordsmanship schools in the world.
The infinite attacking Sword God Style, the defensive counterattack Water God Style, and the adaptable North God Style.
Lilia asked curiously.
“If it were Your Majesty, which school would you choose?”
Rhodes thought briefly.
“As for me, I would choose the Water God Style.”
Lilia’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Huh? I thought boys would prefer the Sword God Style that advocates ‘Attack is the best defense’.”
Rhodes shrugged his shoulders and said calmly.
“The mad dog swordsmanship of putting your life on the line is not for me. As a member of the royal family, I have a very pity for my life.”
“Besides, if it really came to the point where I had to use swordsmanship to trade my life for the other party’s, then the country would probably be destroyed.”
“As for the Beishen School, to put it nicely, it’s called adapting to local conditions, but to put it bluntly, it’s called using any means necessary. I don’t reject it, but I don’t really like it either.”
“Only the Water God Style, observing the opponent’s weaknesses and then striking back to kill with one blow, is a safe and reliable swordsmanship in my opinion.”
Rhode originally thought that Lilya would show disdain in response to such words.
Unexpectedly, Lilia straightened her back with sincerity and admiration on her face.
“Your Majesty, even at such a young age, is able to face his inner self. This is a noble quality that countless nobles would never be able to possess in their entire lives!”
“I’m too narrow-minded. As a member of the royal family, I should learn the swordsmanship of using others as weapons!”
“As expected of you, a natural born king, Your Majesty Rhodes!”
Rhodes’ expression was unnatural.
“Uh…you’re right.”
He always felt that no matter what he said, Lilia would be able to force himself to appear positive.
Is this the absolutely loyal maid?
“By the way, where’s my magic teacher?”
When talking about this, Lilia looked a little embarrassed.
“All I know about this is that the previous king paid a huge price in exchange for a one-year term.”
“Interesting, is the opponent very powerful?”
“I don’t know about that, but I heard that he’s an elf, who usually possesses higher magical powers than humans. I have no idea when the magic teacher will arrive… After all, elves have a very poor sense of time.”
Lilia also mentioned a powerful elf she once met in the capital of Ars. The elf had five times more magic power than her, which made her very afraid at the time.
Although the current theory is that the total amount of magic power is innate and cannot be increased through acquired training, it is also true that long-lived species such as elves often possess higher magic power than humans.
Rhode secretly estimated that his current total magic power was only about one-tenth of Lilia’s.
If it really can’t be improved through exercise, then just don’t send it directly.
“But the elves…”
Rhodes was a little confused.
Are there any powerful elf magicians in the world of Reincarnation: Zero?
Even after finishing his dinner, Rhodes still hadn’t come up with a name, so he had no choice but to give up thinking about it for the time being.
As for the summoning card, Rhode decided to wait until he met the Northern Divine Swordsman before discussing it.
If you really need immediate combat power to save your life, you can summon it randomly on the spot.
If he is not in a hurry, he can consider adding tags to summon the talents he needs.
Lilya carefully wiped Rhodes’ mouth with a napkin, then naturally took his hand again and led him back to the bedroom.
Just as she bowed and reluctantly took her leave, Rhodes, who was wide awake, thought for a moment and gave an order.
“Lilia, bring the sword and magic books from the palace here. I want to see them.”
Lilia’s eyes immediately sparkled, filled with admiration and deep love.
“I understand, but Your Majesty, please don’t overwork yourself and rest early.”
“I will. Oh, and pick out a piece of black silk for me to cover my eyes. I need some time to get used to the magic eye.”
“Leave it to me!”
After a while, Lilya knocked on the door, carefully placed three books on the table in front of Rhodes, and gave Rhodes some concerned instructions before leaving.
On top of the book was a piece of black silk cloth with a golden dragon pattern embroidered on the front, which felt very silky.
After playing with it for a while with satisfaction, Rhodes put it aside temporarily and slowly opened his eyes.
Observing the world directly with his own eyes again made Rhodes feel dizzy.
“…Hmm, I’m still not used to it.”
There is magic in almost every object in this world.
So when he opened his eyes to look at an object, a double overlapping shadow of the [magic outline] and the [real entity] would appear.
If he opened his eyes and observed someone, he would even see a double image of the person he had predicted by observing the flow of magic power.
This could be considered a simplified version of future vision, but using it at this stage would make him feel dizzy and nauseous, so Rhodes planned to wait until he got used to it before slowly opening his eyes.
“But for something as delicate as reading, you have to open your eyes…”
Rhodes suppressed his discomfort and began to read.
Among the books Lilia sent, the first one was “The Three Swordsmen and the Labyrinth”.
This is a story about the encounter of three young and talented swordsmen who were later called the Sword God, the Water God, and the North God. After several twists and turns, they challenged a huge maze together. There were quarrels, laughter, friendship, and farewells along the way, and finally they achieved their goal brilliantly.
Although it was not the training material he had imagined, Rhodes still read it with great interest.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting books on legends and biographies of this world.]【Trigger optional side quest.】
[When there are no heroes, a young man becomes famous! ][Host, please use the swordsmanship of the corresponding school to defeat the contemporary Sword God, Water God, and North God, deprive them of their titles, and become the only supreme swordsmanship master in the world!][Reward: EX-level sword lottery card][Failure Penalty: None]The system’s prompting sound startled Rhodes.
“I didn’t expect that just reading a book could trigger a quest… and it actually requires me to use the corresponding swordsmanship to defeat the strongest swordsman.”
“Tongzi, are you deliberately asking me to cause trouble?”
[Host, do you want to reject the mission? ]Although he didn’t get the reward immediately, Rhodes was aroused by his competitive spirit.
Rhodes’s mouth curled up slightly.
“I’m not going to refuse, I just love this kind of mission! Accept it!”
006 Collect the magic textbook and get the top affinity of all magic attributes! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Rod placed the novel in a prominent place to encourage himself and picked up the second heavy book with a yellowed cover.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little excited.
“Magic textbook…”
The book’s opening chapter states that it has been a bestseller with hundreds of copies since it was published about a thousand years ago.
Before this book was published, learning magic required studying with a teacher. However, many teachers were only able to perform basic magic tricks, so there seemed to be many cases where people could not learn anything significant even after becoming apprentices.
Even though it’s a bestseller now, the number of copies was very small at the time and it wasn’t widely circulated. And even if it had been circulated, people with no interest in magic wouldn’t have paid much attention to it.
Most importantly, this world does not have printing technology.
The current textbooks only began to circulate in large quantities on the market fifty years ago, for unknown reasons.
“The monopoly of knowledge… does seem to be in line with the idea of maintaining established class rule, but it poses no threat to me at all. Rather, I should be breaking it all.”
With his cheats, his growth rate is unmatched by any local native.
On the contrary, to realize the country that Rhodes vaguely began to envision, a large number of highly qualified people were needed.
A large number of schools will inevitably need to be built in the future.
“After all, even if you want to be a tyrant, you can’t do it without reliable people under your command.”
Rhodes kept this in mind and then began to study the contents of the textbook seriously.
Textbooks simply divide magic into three categories.
Attack magic, healing magic, summoning magic.
The levels are divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, saint, king, emperor and god level in order.
However, the book obviously only records various magics from elementary to advanced levels.
But Rhodes knew that there were even more scarce detoxification magic, barrier magic, and divine strike magic in this world.
Magic above the Saint level is often monopolized by the state, and cannot be learned unless one becomes a disciple or joins a sect.
Unfortunately, the peculiar little country of Arcadia does not possess this kind of heritage.
Rhodes complained silently and continued reading.
There are two ways to cast magic.
Chant or magic circle.
A long time ago, the main method seemed to be magic circles, but now chanting is the mainstream.
“If there’s a chance in the future, it would be best to set up multiple magic circles for space transfer or to defend the palace.”
As it stands now, the development of magic in the other world is too conservative due to various concerns.
In order to avoid war, the space transfer magic circles on various continents were also sealed.
Even the use of transfer magic was considered a violation of the ban.
Just by pure imagination, Rhodes came up with many crazy war crime ideas.
“If we could recreate the magical spirit power of Fairy Tail’s satellite weapons, wouldn’t we be able to just bombard any country we dislike?”
Rhodes temporarily suppressed his restless heart and continued reading.
The book records that the reason chanting became mainstream was because a certain elven magician later succeeded in significantly shortening the chanting time.
The simplest chanting was shortened to about five seconds, and after that, attack magic became exclusively performed by chanting.
Rhodes touched his chin and raised his brows slightly.
“I remember that this world seems to have a setting where only those who cultivate their magic power in childhood can grow rapidly and even learn to chant without chanting.”
No matter how much training is done after adulthood, magic power will hardly increase significantly. The magic power of ordinary people is basically determined at birth.
The possibility of adults learning to cast spells without chanting is also extremely low, and the best they can do is shorten the chanting.
Rhodes suddenly felt somewhat fortunate.
“So, I’ve been reincarnated and awakened my wisdom at this age just in time!”
Rhodes patiently read the instructions and precautions related to magic, and immediately turned to the chanting page and began to try to cast the spell.
Because the textbooks mentioned that ordinary people hardly start to learn magic until they are ten years old, and their first spellcasting usually ends in failure.
Most people find it difficult to mobilize the magic power in their bodies smoothly at the beginning.
Even a genius has to try three or four times before he succeeds by chance, and even if he succeeds, it is difficult to control.
The editor even specifically advises readers not to be discouraged as this is a normal phenomenon, and recommends starting with water bullets, which are not very harmful, when casting spells for the first time.
He was not aware of his own talent and chose to follow the editor’s advice. He stretched out his right hand and read the text a little nervously.
“May the great blessing of water descend upon the place you seek, and a refreshing stream appear here—[WaterBall]!”
The six eyes observed that the magic power flowed out from the dantian, concentrated in the right hand, and then pushed out.
A giant water ball that almost filled the entire room appeared out of thin air!
“Is this… a water bullet? Are you sure it’s not a water ball?!”
Rhodes was silent for a long time and scratched his head.
“…Did I input too much magic power? But I only activated a tiny bit.”
“How about trying to shrink it a bit?”
Rhodes tried to convey the idea of shrinking.
I originally thought it would be a difficult task, but I was able to do it with just a thought.
From the six-eyes’ observation, the excess part of the water ball dissipated directly into free ether in the air.
Immediately following.
Rhodes crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and casually wiggled his right index finger.
The water ball shuttled, shot, stopped and turned flexibly in the room according to his wishes.
“The book says controlling the direction of water bullets is a very advanced technique, but it doesn’t seem that difficult now.”
When casting the spell for the second time, Rhodes didn’t even need to chant, and he created ten water balls in an instant!
Five minutes later.
Rhodes can now perfectly cast all the magic spells recorded in the textbooks without chanting, and can even modify them at will!
There is no chanting to cast magic, and you must complete all the steps of gathering magic power and adjusting magic parameters by yourself.
But when Rhodes cast magic without chanting, he even felt more relaxed than when he chanted.
He frowned and turned to the last page of the textbook, then held his chin in confusion, with confusion and bewilderment flashing in his eyes.
“The so-called bottleneck described in the textbook doesn’t exist for me at all. Moreover, the magic power consumed is completely different from what is described in the book. It consumes less magic power, but the power is stronger.”
“Could it be because of the particle-level magic control that the Six Eyes grants me?”
“Moreover, the four elements of magic, earth, fire, water, and wind, from the basic to the advanced level, all the moves seem to change only in quantity and form.”
For example, the water bullets and water arrows of the water system are just simple changes in form.
The earth-type Earth Spear and Earth Hedgehog are just changes in quantity.
The lava magic in the fire system and the ice magic in the water system are quite special.
The difference between the other higher-level magic is that the range is larger.
It is mentioned in the textbooks that most of the Saint-level magic is about manipulating the weather.
As for more advanced magic, it is almost completely unusable in combat and requires long chanting and the use of magic circles.
In other words, almost all magic in this world is an extension of the most basic techniques, and there is no difference in quality even after evolution.
Even if one practices fire magic to the point of becoming a fire god, the range of the fire will only become larger.
It cannot transform flames into different types of fire, nor can it create an eternal black flame…
So weak.
and…….
Rhodes hesitated and felt it was unreal for a moment.
“So, in less than ten minutes, I’ve already mastered all the magic a magician would theoretically need to fight?!”
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the magic textbook. ][Reward: All-attribute magic with top-level attribute affinity!]Rhodes’ expression was shocked, and he suddenly felt that the world became clearer.
“Hmm…it seems like book rewards require me to read them completely before they count as part of my collection, but this time they actually gave them to me directly for the raffle!”
He took a deep breath of relief.
The ether floating in the air automatically rushed towards him one after another, as if attracted by a succubus.
Most of the magic power that was originally consumed was quickly restored.
At this moment, he even felt that if he cast some basic magic, he could skip the step of building a circuit in his body!
Just lift your fingers slightly to mobilize the four elements of earth, fire, water and wind!
007 EX-level reward, Zhao Dao Zhen! Assassination Strike! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Rhodes excitedly tried it for a while, and after confirming that the spell was smoother than before, he looked at the third book with anticipation.
However, it is regrettable.
The third book is titled “Court Rituals of Asura Palace”. As the name suggests, it does not trigger any collection rewards even after reading it.
Rhodes swung his legs unsatisfiedly.
“It seems that not all items are worth being collected by the system.”
However, this book was the best preserved. Its price was as high as twenty Asura gold coins, making it the most expensive one. It seemed to be Lilia’s personal collection.
She gave it to herself, probably to train herself to be a qualified king.
Although Rhodes was indifferent to the pretentious behavior of these royals, he also knew that if he continued to show his casualness, he would be regarded as a heretic and vulgar.
This kind of reputation is not conducive to the young master’s already precarious rule.
The only way is to wait until he becomes so powerful that no one dares to interfere.
By then, his lack of etiquette would be praised by bards as informality.
Rhodes shook his head and smiled, jumped off the chair, sorted out the three books and moved them to the bookcase.
As he passed by the window, Rhodes looked up at the night sky shrouded in thick dark clouds and fog, and murmured.
“It’s so hot and muggy. I wonder if it’s going to rain heavily tomorrow.”
In the courtyard not far away, Lilia was still awake. Instead, she was diligently directing the few maids to check the drainage facilities.
Rhodes looked deeply for a long time, then pulled the curtains with his right hand.
He picked up the black silk cloth on the table and tied his eyes, kicked off his shoes and jumped onto the bed, then looked up at the vaulted ceiling and breathed a sigh of relief.
He masters all basic magic, possesses top affinity with all attribute magic, and has the six-eyes as his trump card.
For a five-year-old boy, it was a perfect start.
If there is anything that is urgently needed right now, it is probably the timely combat power that can be mobilized.
After all, although Lilia is trustworthy, she is injured.
Just considering her sincerity towards me, I must find a way to heal her in the future.
Rhodes pondered for a long time.
“The summoning card can be used improvisationally, but system, please draw that unlimited draw card.”
The system’s panel seemed to appear directly in his mind.
Rhodes could see it even with his eyes closed or without activating his six eyes.
However, Rhodes did not have high expectations for this lottery.
As we all know, unlimited lottery means there is an infinite possibility of drawing garbage.
[Drawing a lottery for the host…]As the mechanical sound of the system fell.
A colorful stream of light suddenly rose up.
“Hiss—Oh my god, it’s shipped?!”
Rhodes jumped up from the bed in an instant, excited.
[Seventy thousand and thirty-three swords were broken from the Izumo Kingdom and cast into twelve sacred swords for the protection of the world.][One is “True”, forged by the slaying of the “Tumukari God”, which allows mortals to observe the principles of the law, deconstruct all things, and recreate miracles.][Reciting the mantra contained within the sword, the one holding the sword can hold everything in the universe in his hands!][Congratulations to the host for obtaining the EX-level weapon: Tsumu Karishimin’s Imperial Sword “Shin”! ]A weapon as sharp as a knife or a ruler cut through the void and floated quietly in front of Rhodes, emitting a faint blue light.
Complex streams of information flashed across the blade from time to time, as if deconstructing the world itself.
Quiet and mysterious.
Rhodes subconsciously held his breath and nervously reached for the hilt of the sword with his right hand.
It was not until the moment he held it that he felt the obedience and authenticity that seemed to be connected by blood, and only then did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.
Rhodes was in a very complicated mood at this time.
“I didn’t expect to win this… the Iron-Broken Lilu Core.”
Rather than saying it is a sword, it is better to say that it is the key to open the door to omnipotence.
From today on, he only needs to wield the Zhao Dao Zhen to deconstruct and recreate everything in the world!
The so-called human gods and dragon gods in this world?
It will eventually become the nourishment for him to step into omnipotence!
The Zhao Dao Zhen made a slight humming sound and turned into a stream of light and drilled into Rhodes’ right hand.
A blue sword blade inscription appeared on the back of his hand, but soon disappeared.
“I see. It’s usually hidden inside my body, and I can summon it whenever I want to use it.”
Rhodes fumbled for a while and was surprised to find something.
“No, it doesn’t even need to be summoned specifically. Just touching it with my right hand seems to activate the deconstruction ability!”
Rhodes really wanted to find something to try, but it was too late.
Besides, children’s energy is limited after all, and practicing magic all night made him very sleepy.
Rhodes had no choice but to suppress his eager urge, put on the silk cloth, covered himself with a quilt and went to sleep.
The palace was quite quiet late at night.
Even the sounds of small animals disappeared under the gloomy night sky.
Rhodes soon lost consciousness in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.
Gradually, his breathing became steady.
….
I don’t know how long it took.
A man in black suddenly stood up in the shadow under the windowsill!
It was a young girl, a girl whose body was only partially covered. She walked quietly to Rhodes’ bedside and stood there quietly, not even seeming to make a breathing sound.
Her appearance is as ordinary as that of an ordinary passerby, and she would not be noticeable at all on the street.
The girl narrowed her eyes and carefully observed Rhodes’ appearance. Her gaze lingered on the black silk cloth covering Rhodes’ eyes for a moment, and she tilted her head in confusion.
It matches the portrait of the assassination target that my master gave me.
Wearing silk cloth to sleep? How strange.
Did the master mention that the other person was blind?
It’s so pitiful that he lost his parents at the age of five and couldn’t even see the world.
The girl took out a small knife from her bosom, was unexpectedly silent for a long time, and then murmured expressionlessly.
“For a pathetic person without a future, struggling to live is also a kind of pain. Let me come and free you.”
The sharp edge flashed with cold light and drew an icy arc in the air, cutting towards Rhodes’ neck without hesitation.
“Goodbye…boy.”
“…….?!”
“wrong!!!”
She had assassinated countless targets and there was no way she could misjudge the length and distance of the blade.
However, the blade that should have cut the blood vessels did not produce any sensation!
Is it a trap?!
The girl made a split-second judgment, turned decisively and rushed to the window.
Swish——
A thick ice wall rose out of nowhere, cutting off her retreat.
“…”
The girl looked down at the knife in her hand, then looked at the ice wall that was thicker than her arm length, and rationally gave up the idea of breaking through the ice wall and escaping.
Oh, this time when I go back, I must kill that information dealer who is full of lies.
He actually said that the strongest person in the palace was only a disabled senior swordsman and was not a cause for concern.
The girl sighed slightly, turned around and looked around warily.
“I’ve never seen anyone so powerful as to cast such powerful high-level magic instantly without chanting, even in the capital of Asura.”
“You must be a renowned Water King. If so, why would you wade into this mess for a small nation?”
“As long as you are willing to give up, my lord will prepare treasures that satisfy you.”
However, there was no response from the room.
The girl scanned every corner of the room but couldn’t find the other person’s hiding place.
“Even if you can protect this frail prince for a while, you won’t be able to protect him forever.”
“The enemies you will face will be far beyond your imagination!”
The girl frowned and mocked deliberately.
“Why don’t you show yourself?”
“Are you, the noble Water King, going to be as despicable as a dirty assassin like me?”
Rhodes, who had been watching the show for a long time, couldn’t help but cough lightly.
“I said, haven’t I always been in front of you?”
The girl was startled and immediately turned her head towards the direction of the sound.
“?!”
She saw that the prince, whom she thought was weak, had woken up at some point and was half leaning on the headboard, looking at her expressionlessly!
008 Kill the Night-Eyed Crow using an A-Rank Summoning Card! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
The girl’s eyes widened in disbelief.
impossible!
She had never heard of anyone being able to cast Water King-level magic without chanting at the age of five!
But the next moment.
She just saw the other person gently shaking his fingertips.
The flowing magic power instantly turned into another ice wall to seal the door!
Magic that requires an experienced magician to concentrate and chant with great effort, in the hands of this young man, is as easy and casual as breathing!
The boy’s eyes were clearly covered with black silk.
Obviously the other party should not be able to see anything.
But.
Her hand, which was gripping the knife, was shaking uncontrollably.
The air in the room was so heavy that it was suffocating, and cold sweat kept oozing out of the pale forehead.
The girl pursed her lips, her face pale, and subconsciously put the knife in front of her, but she didn’t feel safe at all.
“You…are you a monster or a devil?!”
It’s ridiculous.
She had personally killed battle-hardened generals and even brutal and cruel adventurers, but she had never felt the fear that was now so severe that she couldn’t bear it and wanted to escape.
The terrible malice and curse hidden in the shadows of the room seemed to be about to devour her into ashes in the next moment!
Rhodes tilted his head and chuckled.
“Interesting statement. I’ll take it as a compliment.”
Rhodes gently raised his finger and pointed at the girl’s eyebrows, asking lightly.
“Okay, tell me who sent you?”
Actually, Rhodes originally thought that he was still the cowardly and mediocre otaku in his previous life, and would be at a loss at first when faced with an attack.
But I didn’t expect that when the time really came.
No anger, no fear.
Unexpectedly calm.
Perhaps it was the power that gave him a sense of security, or perhaps it was the so-called qualifications to become a king.
Rhodes had unknowingly adapted to his identity in this world.
The girl was frightened by Rhodes’s action, but she gritted her teeth and rushed towards Rhodes again with the knife without saying a word.
“A loyal hound?”
Rhodes sighed softly and used his left hand as a pistol.
Advanced Wind Magic: Sonic Shock Wave.
With the explosion, the table in the middle of the room was completely shattered, and wood chips flew everywhere.
This move is enough to blow ordinary people into pieces.
However, the assassin girl is still alive.
It turned out that she seemed to be rushing towards Rhodes, but she jumped to the side in a light and strange manner, just avoiding the attack!
“Oh, a feint?”
Rhodes memorized the flow of magic power in the other person’s body with great interest.
“drink!”
The girl aimed the knife at Rhodes’ heart in mid-air.
Rhodes just raised his hand slightly.
The girl was secretly happy.
Geniuses are indeed arrogant!
You actually tried to block my flying knife, then give me your arm!
——Die!
However.
In the girl’s unbelievable and shaken eyes.
The knife that should have been able to pierce through the body and crush it into pieces was moving slower and slower.
In the end, it inexplicably and strangely stopped in Rhodes’ palm!
I don’t understand, I don’t comprehend, and I have no idea of the current situation.
Everything unknown frightened the assassin girl.
A feeling of despair and hopelessness arose in the girl’s heart.
It’s the same as that time again.
It should be hit, but it seems like it can never be reached.
Magic? No, divine magic?
Is this guy really just a five-year-old kid?
However, the girl still did not give up. She bit her tongue hard, yelled angrily, and punched Rhodes.
Rhodes just waved his finger again.
Bang bang bang bang——
The muffled crash and the scalp-numbing cracking of bones rang out like firecrackers.
The girl’s limbs were broken and she collapsed on the ground like rags and mud.
Rhodes slowly got out of bed, put on his slippers, walked in front of the girl, and spoke condescendingly.
“Although I have compassion for women, I’m not yet at the point of showing mercy to a killer.”
The girl raised her head with difficulty, opened her blood-blurred eyes, and forced a smile.
“Give up… You can’t get any information from me… ahem… ahem… “
At this moment, the girl suddenly had a strange illusion.
The prince in front of her seemed to see through her completely through the black silk.
Rhodes looked at her quietly for a moment and suddenly spoke.
“I heard that there was a high-ranking official named Darius in the Kingdom of Asura who was a man of great power and evil.”
The girl’s pupils suddenly shrank.
“No…….”
Her reaction confirmed Rhodes’s guess.
The corners of Rhodes’ mouth rose slightly.
“Rumor has it that the famous assassin Night Eyed Crow, who operated in the Kingdom of Asura nearly ten years ago, was one of Darius’s assassins.”
“This assassin, like the Grim Reaper, silently killed countless political enemies for Darius in the dead of night.”
The dark and terrifying chill sent chills down the girl’s spine!
If it was simply a matter of military strength, she was confident that her master, who was good at conspiracy and intrigue, would be able to manipulate the prince into doing things.
But if the other party had the wisdom to see through people’s hearts at the age of five, she couldn’t even imagine how tragically her master would die if she went against such a demon!
Some people had previously complained and mocked their owners for being overly vigilant with a child, but now it seems the arrangements weren’t thorough enough…
The girl remained silent, but Rhodes understood everything.
“Okay, I don’t have to ask Darius why he’s targeting me, but I can probably guess.”
Darius was originally a chess piece placed by gods and men.
From this perspective, his previous worries may not have been unnecessary.
The human god is really going to take action against him!
“I don’t dislike die-hard loyalists; I even admire them. But I’m not interested in understanding the reasons for your loyalty.”
“I will send Darius’s entire family to Hades to accompany you. You can continue your loyalty if you wish.”
Rhodes put two fingers of his right hand together to form an ice blade, pointing it at the girl’s neck.
“But if possible, find a more reliable allegiance in your next life. That fat pig isn’t worth it.”
The girl widened her eyes upon hearing this, as if she couldn’t believe that Rhodes would say this to her.
Insults, whippings, and killings.
This was the ending she had imagined.
However, at the last moment of her life, she actually received recognition and even comfort from the other party.
This was what she had always longed for but never received from Darius, who treated her as a tool.
The girl was stunned for a long time, and she tried hard to pull the corners of her mouth, and finally revealed a smile that was completely genuine.
“I… suddenly understand why Lord Darius… is afraid of you.”
The blood and running water completely blurred her vision.
Unbearable pain came from the limbs.
“Hmm….uh….”
But she tried to hold her head high and memorize Rhodes’ appearance in her mind.
The little figure standing in the shadow is as bright as the sun in the blue sky.
Dazzling and warm.
“Thanks……”
thump–
The assassin girl lost her breath in her smile.
【The host kills the Night Eyed Crow.】
【Tag: Assassin】
[Reward: D-level summon card]Rhodes was silent for a moment and released the ice blade in his hand.
“You don’t want to stain my hands with blood, so you’ve given up on living and chosen suicide…”
After all, it was the first time that Rhodes saw someone die in front of him. He felt a little disappointed, but not much regret.
It just adds another layer of disgust towards humans and gods.
I was secretly envious that the fat pig had such loyal subordinates.
Although he also had Lilya, Rhodes treated Lilya more as a relative.
Rhodes looked around the messy bedroom and frowned slightly.
Because the windows and doors were immediately sealed with ice walls, the sound of fighting in the room did not escape.
“Forget it, let’s not bother Lilia anymore.”
“The other party’s assassination failed and it can’t end like this. I can’t always do it myself. I still need a convenient subordinate.”
Now Rhodes really needs a servant who can help him cover up some things that are inconvenient to explain.
It is best to be strong enough to help yourself solve problems head-on.
Rhodes originally planned to keep the A-level card, but he directly called the system to use it.
It was a little hard to explain why two completely strangers appeared in the palace at the same time, so he planned to wait a while before summoning the D-level summon Carlod.
This is also because he has no hope in summoning any D-rank assassins.
“Tongzi, don’t add any extra labels, just use it randomly for me.”
[Using the A-rank corresponding character summon card….][Matching tags: Swordsmanship\Maid.]【Summoning Successful!】
A golden gate opened in the void.
The woman with short gray-gold hair opened her tightly closed eyes. Her wine-red pupils were blank for a moment, and then she revealed a look of understanding after noticing Rhodes.
She maintained an elegant and graceful smile and stepped out of the void gate.
The black suspender high heels made a rhythmic and crisp sound when stepping on the solid ground.
She walked up to Rhodes, bowed slightly, and spoke with a smile.
“At your service, my young master.”
009 S-Class Valkyrie, Dark Rose Rita (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector Emperor: 009 S-Class Valkyrie, Dark Rose Rita (Please give me flowers and votes)
It takes less than five minutes.
The messy room has been transformed.
The assassin girl’s body was neatly buried on the hill behind the palace.
If it wasn’t so late, the newly summoned person might have changed and washed the sheets and quilts as well.
Efficient and decisive.
This was the other party’s first impression on Rhodes.
Rhodes looked helplessly at the girl standing respectfully beside him.
“I say, there’s no need for you to stand all the time.”
The maid lifted her short, satin-like gray-gold hair by her ears, and a natural charm appeared between her eyebrows.
Her eyes are a beautiful wine red with a moist luster.
The left eye hidden under her bangs makes her look even more mysterious like a witch.
There was a decent smile on her pretty face.
“As His Majesty’s personal maid, this is the etiquette Rita should follow~”
good.
The newly summoned character is none other than the S-class Valkyrie from the Honkai series.
—Rita Rossweisse.
Rhodes was truly speechless at the result.
Rita’s weight in the original work is indeed only at the A level.
But the problem is that she is playing a maid, not a real maid!
[Report to the host, as long as the corresponding tag exists on the character, the summoning conditions are met.]Rhodes had nothing to say about this explanation.
Tsk, then wouldn’t it be possible to summon Thor with an S-level maid card?
But Rhodes was still quite satisfied with Rita.
The other party does not seem to come from the orthodox world line, but from a world bubble that is heading towards destruction.
But no matter what, the other party can also have many common topics with Rhodes from the modern world.
For example, the boring life without a mobile phone, the unbearable nights without air conditioning, and the inefficient work without the Internet.
This made Rhodes feel the joy of meeting a fellow countryman.
Furthermore, her experience as the Immortal Blade’s adjutant allowed her to understand Rhodes’s thinking as a modern man more perfectly than Lillia could, and was enough to assist him in handling and adjusting the country’s political affairs.
Her experience in assassination training would also allow her to help Rhodes avoid a similar experience tonight.
Although there is no actual comparison, Rita’s combat power as an S-class Valkyrie should be at least comparable to that of the god-level figures second only to the seven great powers.
Her arrival finally gave Rhodes someone to use.
Rhodes suddenly thought of a key issue.
“By the way, are you still using Honkai energy when you fight now?”
Rita blinked.
“Hmm… [Revelation] seems to allow me to absorb the ether in the air and convert it into Houkai energy, which makes the Houkai energy in my body more controllable.”
Rita regards the system’s contract as a divine revelation, believing that it was the gods who guided her to this unbroken world.
Her hands, wearing black lace gloves, were folded and placed on her lower abdomen, and her wine-red eyes looked out the window with a look of regret.
In the night sky where the dark clouds have dissipated, a full moon emits a quiet and peaceful light.
“I understand your concerns, but I can completely neutralize them with my Honkai energy. There will be no more Honkai in this world…”
“I see.”
In fact, Rhodes had not worried too much about this kind of thing.
After all, with the level of civilization in the Middle Ages in the other world, it wouldn’t be much better even if the collapse came.
“That’s true, but there’s also a god here who wants to destroy the world.”
Rita turned her head and narrowed her eyes slightly.
“You mean the guy who manipulated the chess pieces and ordered the assassin to kill you?”
“Is there any way to find his location directly? I also carry a powerful Valkyrie armor that is more suitable for combat.”
The stigmata on Rita’s back flickered slightly.
A brand new set of Moon Soul Armor leaped out from the Holy Scar Space.
This also seems to be the transformation given to Rita in the process of the system assimilating power.
Rita’s eyes were determined and she seemed eager to try.
“I am willing to kill all your enemies, even gods!”
Rhodes was ashamed.
He almost forgot that this seemingly elegant and perfect maid actually had the attributes of a reckless man in her heart, and once she became reckless, she would inevitably fail.
Rita is definitely the king of car failures!
“Well, anyway, the timing is not right yet. For now, the other party can only interfere with the human world through the apostles. We only need to remove their pawns to seize the initiative.”
“It won’t be too late to take action until I have mastered the method to completely eliminate the opponent.”
Rita put away her armor with a hint of regret, nodded slightly at what she heard, and gave Rhodes a bright smile.
“I understand. Please feel free to drive me if you need me.”
“A qualified maid will faithfully carry out all of her master’s orders~”
At this time, Rod had a better understanding of Rita.
Black-bellied!
Damn it, he is only five years old. Even if he really has any ideas, he is powerless to realize them.
Rhodes shook his head and said seriously.
“By the way, Lilia in the palace is the head maid I appointed. She may not be as good as you in every aspect, but I hope you can respect her and work well with each other.”
“When I was at my weakest, she was the only person in the entire palace, no, perhaps even in the entire world, who remained absolutely loyal to me.”
“I am very grateful to her and will never let her down.”
Rita suppressed her emotions, but deep down she felt more identified and approved of Rhodes.
It reminds me of those children.
However, the little master is really cute.
“Although [Revelation] has given me the ability to understand the language and writing of this world, I am ultimately inferior to Lady Lillia in my understanding of the local culture. I am willing to assist her in completing her work as a maid.”
“I have no intention of pursuing status and power. I will handle this relationship well.”
Rhodes nodded, naturally believing in Rita’s emotional intelligence.
In fact, he also planned to heal and strengthen Lillia if he had the chance in the future.
He is not the kind of person who gets bored easily.
“By the way, what happened in your world?”
“Are you interested in my past? It’s a long story.”
“It’s okay. The night is long.”
Rita deliberately misinterpreted Rod’s question.
“Oh? I see. Forgive me, I forgot you were still a child. I will prepare a bedtime story for you.”
“No…I, if you don’t want to say it, forget it.”
Rhodes scratched his head, climbed onto the bed helplessly, turned his head and fell asleep quietly.
Not long after.
The maid’s soft laughter was heard in the room, followed by a rustling sound.
The seat beside me sank.
Rhodes only felt himself falling into a gentle embrace.
The fragrance of roses permeated my nose.
It’s not overpowering, but it’s definitely not vulgar either.
It was bright and transparent like a cool breeze blowing under the moonlit sky. The fragrance of flowers and the moonlight draped over him, quietly dispelling the fatigue lingering on his brow.
This gave Rhodes the illusion of lying in a garden surrounded by flowers, as if his mood would improve just by being next to Rita.
Rita showed a gentle look on her pretty face and hugged Rhodes tightly.
“Compared to the boring past, the future we create together is more important, isn’t it, my little master~”
“Oh, you’re still angry~ When you grow up, I’ll give you a gift from an adult~”
Speaking of this, Rhodes immediately stopped feeling sleepy!
“What are you talking about, my Lord’s gift?”
Rita blinked and spoke in a deliberately suggestive tone.
“This is the kind of gift you wanted~”
“What I want?”
“That’s right~~~~”
Rita felt a little proud.
Humph, no matter how mature you act, you’re still just a kid who’s easily teased.
But Rhodes’ next words left Rita stunned.
“Great! It turns out Rita will give me the Key of God as a gift when I come of age!”
“…God, God’s Key?!”
“Ah? Did I guess wrong? Or the Herrscher Core will do. I think the Void Herrscher Core is pretty good.”
Rita finally realized that she was the one being teased!
She actually failed while teasing a little kid?!
Where can I get things like the Key of God and the Herrscher Core for you?
I think you are deliberately making things difficult for me, a poor little maid!
Rita’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she decisively chose to play dead.
“Rita, are you still awake? Can you speak?”
“Huh…I’m so sleepy. I fell asleep.”
“Um, goodnight?”
“…….Good night.”

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 010 The Northern God Flow Attacks, Lilia First Meets Rita (Please give me flowers and votes)
early morning.
A luxurious room somewhere.
Snap——
The obese male noble angrily threw the precious porcelain in his hand to the ground.
The fat on his cheeks flushed and trembled with anger.
“Damn it! How dare a mere slave betray me! I should have killed her long ago!”
The man leaning against the wall in the corner spoke coldly.
“Sir Darius, with all due respect to my bluntness, it’s more likely that your subordinate failed in the assassination attempt.”
The man who spoke wore a rainbow-colored shirt, knee-high boots, and four swords at his waist.
He has a peacock tattoo on his cheek and an open hairstyle that looks like a parabolic antenna.
“At least in my opinion, she is more loyal than most people.”
Darius turned his head suddenly, staring at the person who spoke with his red eyes.
“Ober, are you telling me that my best assassin can’t even take down a five-year-old?!”
“Is this the ridiculous conclusion you, the Northern Emperor of the Northern Divine Stream, can draw?”
Ober shrugged his shoulders and played with the peacock feather in his hand.
“Arcadia is a country after all. Maybe there are experts in the palace.”
Darius snorted in disdain and sat down on the chair irritably.
“Impossible! My insider told me that the so-called prince can only use a few maids at most.”
“That army of unruly and profit-seeking former adventurers is definitely not going to obey a little brat like him!”
Ober pinched the peacock feathers between his fingers and looked up curiously.
“Why, after all, would you be so concerned about such a remote little country?”
“He even came all the way here in person, and after going to great lengths to kill the man’s father, he still refused to give up and insisted on killing a child who posed no threat at all.”
Darius’s fat body trembled subconsciously, as if he thought of something terrible, and his face looked extremely ugly.
“You don’t understand the consequences of not being able to kill him. Anyway, only one of me and that brat can survive!”
Darius asked anxiously.
“When will the people you arranged arrive?”
Ober secretly laughed at Darius’s fussing over nothing and didn’t take the commission seriously at all.
If it weren’t for the huge amount of money Darius gave him, he would have run away out of boredom.
“It’s not someone I arranged. It just so happens that he’s the guy the late King of Arcadia was planning to invite to be the prince’s swordsmanship instructor.”
Darius’ eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily and laughed sarcastically.
“Hahahaha, you’re really asking for death!”
“This means that person will definitely not be suspected. I think we can easily get rid of that brat this time!”
“By the way, who is he?”
Ober’s eyes flashed with silence and confidence, and he flicked the peacock feather in his hand into the air.
“Don’t worry, that’s the Northern Divine Three Swordsmen who reign supreme at the pinnacle of the Northern Divine School, the Northern King [Dual Swords].”
Darius didn’t even see Ober draw his sword.
The moment the peacock feathers hit the ground, they turned into powder that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Ober’s expression was calm and his tone was casual.
“This fragile and pathetic life, let us wait for Bei Shenliu to pick it up at will.”
Darius’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, his eyes were full of fear, and his right hand was tightly gripping the armrest, which made a creaking sound unconsciously.
“…Is this the strength of the Northern Emperor?”
“Ha, hahahahaha, good, good, this time it will be foolproof!”
…
Kingdom of Arcadia.
The capital is Elserland.
The royal bedroom.
“Huh? The servants left behind by the late princess?”
“Yes, Lady Lilia. I am an orphan taken in by the late princess and trained from a young age to become your majesty’s secret guard.”
Facing Lilia’s suspicious gaze, Rita spoke nonsense calmly.
“If the assassin hadn’t attacked last night, I would have been quietly protecting Your Majesty in secret. This was also the wish of the late princess.”
Lilia, whose subject was easily diverted by Rita, immediately clutched her skirt nervously.
“A, assassin?! Is your Majesty alright?”
“It’s alright, His Majesty was unharmed and slept soundly afterwards, even drooling. I’ve dealt with the assassin, and her body has been buried on the hill behind the palace, as ordered by His Majesty. Lady Lilia, would you like to check on her?”
“Uh, just confirm… No, take me to see it later.”
“Yes, Lady Lilia.”
Rita also took out the identification card that Rhodes specially prepared for her, which made Lilia believe the other party’s origin.
Therefore, although Lilia felt a sense of crisis about the new beautiful maid, she had to accept her existence.
This morning, Lilia was in a happy mood and prepared to admire her little Majesty’s sleeping posture alone as usual.
This was a privilege she secretly held as a maid.
But when she opened the dormitory door, the smile on her face froze instantly.
There was a strange maid whom I had never seen before lying on the bed of my own Majesty?!
Her house was robbed?!
She was clearly here first! She has never slept with His Majesty!
Lilia originally wanted to yell angrily, but was easily suppressed by the other party’s temperament.
Although she looked to be only in her early twenties, her face was so delicate and beautiful that it could rival that of a princess of the kingdom, which made Lilia feel a little embarrassed.
The other person’s gorgeous maid outfit, which was decorated with roses and was never seen before, made Lilia’s maid outfit, which was full of patches, look like tattered ones.
The silly Lilia felt bitter and complicated, and suddenly she realized that the other person was a stranger she had never met before.
However, when she was about to start a fight, the other party took the initiative to introduce himself in a humble manner, saying that he was the emperor’s companion.
This made Lilia feel relieved, but at the same time, she felt a little regretful in her heart.
The other person’s demeanor and aura were even more elegant than any royal nobles Lilia had ever seen.
However, for some reason, the other party behaved quite respectfully in front of him.
Lilia shyly pulled back the patched hem of her skirt.
“Um…sir, please don’t call me that.”
“I, I am only temporarily taking care of His Majesty while a position in the palace becomes vacant. Since you are the attendant left by the late princess, you should take over…”
Lilia felt like crying and lonely inside, but she could only purse her lips and force a smile to accept the fact.
Yes, I’m just a thief who stole into a high position.
What His Majesty needs is an elegant and beautiful maid like Miss Rita.
I’m so clumsy at cooking…
I am not worthy of being your Majesty’s maid.
“I, I will put myself in the right place. Please don’t fire me, Miss Rita.”
“I really like it here. I will work hard to become a qualified maid!”
Rita didn’t expect Lilia to be so sensitive and even so naive. She quickly took two steps forward, took Lilia’s rough hand, and lowered her head in shame.
“What are you talking about, Lady Lilia? You are the only one who can hold the position of head maid from beginning to end.”
“To be honest, I’ve been away for years, eliminating enemies that threaten our country, and I’ve only recently returned to the palace. I’m completely clueless about the state of our country and the interpersonal relationships within the palace, and I need Lady Lilia to teach me.”
“But, but I only know a few more people than Ms. Rita, like the head maid…”
“His Majesty said you were his most trusted maid.”
Lilia’s eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
“Did your Majesty say so?”
Rita pretended to be helpless.
“So, Your Majesty is really partial.”
Lilia immediately puffed her lips, glared at Rita with great momentum, and lectured her.
“Don’t slander His Majesty! His Majesty works very hard! Even if you are a servant left behind by the late princess, you will be punished for saying that!”
Rita immediately bowed her head and apologized.
“It’s Rita’s fault. I’ve been away from home for so many years and haven’t learned the proper etiquette of the palace. To prevent me from making the same mistake again, please be kind and teach me, as if I were a newcomer.”
Lilia had originally felt completely discouraged in front of the perfect Rita, but now that she discovered that Rita could also make mistakes, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
Lilia blushed slightly and coughed lightly.
“That’s right. After all, etiquette is very important. Leave it to me until you grow up.”
Lilia patted her cheeks, took a deep breath, and got into work mode, while not forgetting to teach Rita.
“It’s time to wake His Majesty, wash him, serve him breakfast, and then start sword training.”
“Because the swordsmanship teacher hasn’t arrived yet, I have to take over temporarily.”
“Maintaining a healthy body is extremely important, so no matter how much Your Majesty acts like a spoiled child, you must not allow him to stay in bed. This is a principle that a maid must never violate!”
“Rita, do you understand?”
Rita nodded seriously.
So Lilia set an example by walking up to Rhodes, gently pushing his shoulder, and speaking softly.
“Your Majesty, wake up~”
Rhode muttered and hugged Lilia’s arm with his backhand.
“Hmm, I’m so sleepy, wait a little longer…”
Lilia blushed and stammered.
“Okay, okay.”
Rita watched this scene with a subtle expression.
Uh, this is the principle that a maid must never violate?
Aren’t you spoiling him too much?
[The picture shows Lilia when she was young. Please give me flowers and votes!]011 Lilya’s past, Rhodes gave her the name Lilya! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
It was almost noon.
On the training ground, Rhodes yawned and casually waved the wooden sword he was using for training, his eyes half sleepy.
Lilia tied her ponytail with a drawstring while looking at Rita who was watching the fight with a stern tone.
“…In fact, as a maid, it is a fundamental principle that you cannot disobey His Majesty’s will!”
“I’m only obeying His Majesty’s order and having to allow you to stay in bed.”
Rita nodded slightly and smiled secretly.
“You don’t need to explain, I understand. I understand everything.”
In the eye that was not blocked by the gray-gold bangs, there was a flicker of undisguised playfulness.
“mo~”
Lilya shyly turned her head away, took a deep breath, and looked at Rhodes with a serious look.
“Ahem, Your Majesty, the grading used for both swordplay and magic is the same.”
“Primary, Intermediate, Advanced, Saint, King, Emperor, God.”
“The three major schools of swordsmanship have the word ‘God’ in their names, which is a common name for the founders of the schools.”
“It is said that the first generation swordsman of the Water God School was also a magician who could use Water God-level magic.”
“And those who have mastered the Northern Divine School can even easily deflect magic.”
“So, if you’re having trouble exploring the magic field, don’t be discouraged. As long as you work hard on your swordsmanship, you can become one of the world’s top warriors!”
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled helplessly.
“I understand.”
Although Rhodes was a child, he always adhered to aristocratic etiquette.
It was a rare occasion that I stayed in bed this morning.
Although in fact it was because of the fatigue caused by excessive use of magic for the first time, plus being disturbed by the assassin, and being too excited to fall asleep.
But perhaps Lilia mistakenly thought that he was reading a magic book and felt frustrated, which led to his escape mentality.
Too.
No matter how hard a normal person thinks, it is impossible to become a high-level magician overnight.
Lilia moved her ankle with some regret.
“My swordsmanship has barely reached the advanced level, so I can only reluctantly teach Your Majesty until the swordsmanship teacher arrives. If I hadn’t been injured, perhaps with some effort I could have become a swordsman.”
Rita asked curiously.
“Speaking of which, Senior, where are you from? And how did you get injured?”
Rhodes also cast an interested look.
Lilia was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, as if telling someone else’s story.
“…I was born in the countryside of the Asura Kingdom, in a small town in the Donati Territory. I am the only daughter of a Water God-Ryu Dojo.”
“As the daughter of a dojo, I have thrived holding a sword since childhood.”
“However, I have long been aware of my lack of talent in swordsmanship. I originally thought that one day I would marry a disciple, inherit the dojo, and live a simple life.”
“However… until that day when my father kindly rescued a homeless and penniless wanderer. Despite my efforts to integrate him into the dojo, for some reason he couldn’t get along with any of the other disciples.”
“He seemed to blame me for everything, and then one night he tried to attack me. Fortunately, my disciples discovered him and stopped him in time, and they fought him off.”
“My father was furious and kicked him out of the gym. He seemed to come to his senses and left in shame. However, I became so frightened after that that I developed a phobia of men.”
Rita’s eyes flickered when she heard that, she clenched her fists slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
“What a beastly fellow, full of inexplicable hatred, repaying kindness with enmity.”
“If I meet him again, I will cut him into pieces!”
Rhodes also felt a surge of anger in his heart.
He knew that man.
Paul Graylat.
In the original work, except for the moment when he saved Rudy, when he was considered a qualified father, it would not be an exaggeration to describe the first half of his life as a beast before that.
He had no intention of commenting too much on Paul’s inability to control his lower body.
Rhodes naturally has the ambition to win over all the beauties in his heart, but he also adheres to the principle of being responsible to the end once he flirts with them.
But in the original world line, Lilia did not escape his good luck…
In short, Rhodes remembered this grudge.
Kill directly?
No, or else just fan it.
This is the greatest punishment for that man.
However, Rhodes remembered another thing at the same time.
The original protagonist Rudy’s time travel was an accidental byproduct of a summoning ritual launched in the future that summoned Shizuka Nanaboshi to the past.
And because of his reincarnation, the future is bound to have a completely different ending.
Then there’s Rudy’s reincarnation, the Great Transfer event, and Nanahoshi Shizuka’s time travel…
Will this still happen?
Looks like I need to find an opportunity to confirm it.
Moreover, almost no important characters from the original work will appear in this chaotic and conflicted area.
Sylphy, Alice, Roxy…
At least these three are undoubtedly S-level figures.
Considering that A-level can summon beings of Rita’s level, I wonder what kind of surprises S-level will bring.
Sylphy and Alice are undoubtedly best conquered when they are young.
Rhodes thought of the D-rank assassin summoning card.
It looks like it will be useful soon.
“…After that, because of my symptoms, he couldn’t find a suitable candidate to marry into the family. My father seemed to be disheartened and gave up the dojo. He spent a large sum of money to send me to the Asura Palace to serve as the princess’s guard lady-in-waiting.”
“That was also when I learned the etiquette I know, but I was injured while protecting the princess.”
“Having lost my value, I was naturally expelled from the palace. I didn’t dare return home to face my father, and I couldn’t find a suitable job. So, I wandered around aimlessly, following the caravans as a makeshift guard.”
“Until I met the late king. He heard that I had experience as a maid in the palace, so he invited me to become the little prince’s exclusive maid.”
“I am also worried about my symptoms and injuries, and whether I will be able to do this job.”
Lilia came back to her senses from her memories and looked at Rhodes with a gentle smile.
“I initially refused, but when I saw the little prince, still in his cradle, smiling at me, I was…healed.”
Lilia silently clenched the hilt of the wooden sword.
“At that moment, I found the meaning of life again. Even if I am a useless mediocre person, I will protect this smile, even if it costs me my life!”
Rita smiled, feeling deeply for Lilia’s difficult life and respecting her sincere feelings for Rhodes.
At this moment, she had no doubts about Lilia taking on the position of head maid.
As Rod said, there is no one more suitable than her.
Hearing this, Rhodes covered his forehead and frowned slightly, and many scenes that a child should not remember flashed through his mind.
Lilia frantically changed her own diaper, hummed a lullaby to herself as she cried beside the bed, and struggled to repel the assassin who was trying to kill her with her sword…
Well, when he was a little older, he seemed to have asked out of innocent curiosity why there were always snacks and desserts at the right temperature by his bedside every time he woke up hungry at night.
Lilia even laughed and lied to him that it was magic…
His mother died young and his father was away fighting.
He spent almost his entire childhood being cared for by Lilia wholeheartedly.
It can be said that Lilia is both a sister and a mother to him.
But after she grew up, she was taught by the so-called palace teachers that aristocrats should be arrogant towards maids, so she became a little distant from her.
Now, no one knows where that palace teacher Run has gone, but Lilia is still by his side as always.
Rhode took a deep breath, smiled, and looked up at Lilya. Suddenly, he came up with an idea that could put Lilya, who always felt inferior, at ease.
“Lilia, do you know the meaning of the name of the royal capital, Elseran?”
Lilya was a little confused by Rhode’s sudden question.
“Hmm…”
She racked her brains but couldn’t find an answer to this question.
It seems that the answer is not recorded in the history of the kingdom.
Lilia lowered her head in shame.
“I, I don’t know…”
Rod looked at Rita.
“Does Rita know?”
Rita pondered for a moment.
The human language of this world is very different from that of the original world, and I can only understand it simply.
And now, His Majesty is asking me, an outsider, the meaning of my name…
Wait, Elseran means in ancient Greek…
Rita suddenly guessed Rhodes’ intention and looked at him with a gentle smile in her beautiful eyes.
“Elseran, meaning [God’s Gift]~”
Lilia covered her mouth with her hands in surprise, and the ahoge on her head drooped limply.
“I-I see, Rita, you really do know more than me. Hmm, should the head maid still…”
Rhodes interrupted Lilia’s self-pity and chuckled.
“Lilia, the common people in the Asura Kingdom don’t have surnames, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Very good. From today on, I will bestow upon you the surname of Elseran. Lillia Elseran, you are undoubtedly the gift God has bestowed upon me.”
“Eh…Eh???!”
012 vs Lilia, Rhodes’s Absolute Defense! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Lilia covered her mouth with her hand, trying to put on a professional maid expression on her face, holding back her tears.
“Wow… I’m just a maid, how can I be qualified… No way… Let’s just forget it…”
The girl’s voice was trembling, and her expression was full of fear and disbelief.
Rhodes smiled and walked forward to hold Lilia’s hand, his voice soft but firm.
“The king’s orders are absolute, so you cannot refuse them.”
Tears instantly welled up in my eyes.
Lilya hugged Rhodes helplessly and burst into tears.
“Wow… Your Majesty, I love you the most!”
Rod was mesmerized by the mountain, breathing hard, and struggling to get out.
“…Uh, Lilia, it’s a bit boring.”
Lilia’s cheeks flushed, but her fair arms hugged Rhodes tighter.
Rita smiled like an auntie, and felt a long-lost feeling of emotion in her heart.
I seem to have rediscovered something called “beauty”.
Rita narrowed her eyes and looked at Rhodes gently.
Maybe I came here just to protect this moment.
It took a long time for Lilia to calm down her excitement and wiped away her tears shyly, but her eyes were still red.
“Since Your Majesty has bestowed me with a surname, I must not let Your Majesty down, so I will use all my strength to train Your Majesty today!”
Lilia’s eyes shone with a resolute determination as she raised her wooden sword and released her aura.
“Come, Your Majesty!”
Rhodes’ smile froze.
I always feel like I’m shooting myself in the foot…
However, he also wanted to see the power of the swordsmen in this world.
He took a deep breath and held the wooden training sword in a versatile mid-sword stance.
Seeing this, Lilia raised the corner of her mouth slightly with satisfaction and reminded him.
“Then, my Lord, I am on!”
Her flawless beauty, paired with her brown hair that sparkled in the sun and was tied into a samurai ponytail, made her look even more majestic.
The slender, white and agile legs were stretched hard, and the well-trained body disappeared from the spot the next moment!
Lilia was very fast, but in front of the six-eyed man who had no blind spots, her speed only made things more obvious.
It’s behind!
Bang–!!!
Rhode blocked Lilia’s determined sneak attack without even turning his head, but was still knocked back two steps.
Rhodes frowned slightly and rubbed his wrist, which was trembling slightly due to pain.
Even though he could predict the opponent’s movements with his six eyes, he still almost didn’t react due to his body’s function…
Without using the Unlimited Skill, a child would be completely at a disadvantage in swordsmanship when fighting against an adult.
Tsk, if only there was a way to strengthen the body using magic power.
Rhodes was dissatisfied with his performance just now.
“Hey, it should be a blind spot, why…”
But Lilya was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, and she couldn’t understand why Rhodes could block that sword, but then she raised an even higher fighting spirit.
“It seems that Your Majesty has been working hard without my knowledge. Then let me see your limit!”
Bang bang bang bang bang——
Lilia’s sword struck at an incredible speed.
But Rhodes always managed to swing his sword along the shortest path and disrupt Lilia’s sword moves with the least effort.
The two people seemed to be playing a music game called Sekiro.
Although Rhodes seemed to be the one being suppressed and repelled, Lilia never had a chance to even hit the corner of Rhodes’ clothes!
As a bystander, Rita looked at Rod’s blindfolded eyes thoughtfully.
Lilia, the person involved, was completely confused about the current situation.
It was obvious that every time she trained with swordsmanship, she could easily defeat Rhodes by using only one-third of her strength.
As a result, she has used all her strength, but still cannot win.
This made Lilya feel ashamed of herself and proud of Rhodes.
Lilia sighed inwardly, feeling that although she always had the upper hand, she also felt a sense of powerlessness.
Why do I feel like every move I make is being seen through… Is it because of His Majesty’s Demonic Eye?
Although I have the upper hand in terms of physical strength due to my age, if I continue to attack like this, I might be the first one to run out of energy.
As expected of His Majesty, he could actually think of this way to defeat the opponent.
Lilia suddenly stopped her attack.
Rhodes calmed his breathing slightly and looked up in confusion.
“What’s wrong?”
“Even if I fight for a whole day, I cannot break through Your Majesty’s defenses, so it is Your Majesty’s turn to attack.”
“Is that okay? I haven’t learned the proper sword techniques yet.”
“Your Majesty, please do as you please. I also want to see your full strength!”
“Can you really go all out?”
“Come on! Don’t worry, Your Majesty can’t hurt me right now!”
Lilia puffed out her chest confidently, her expression tense, her eyes fixed on Rhodes’s footsteps and gaze.
Humph, Your Majesty, don’t be too proud!
Although Your Majesty has an extraordinary talent in defense, which can be called absolute defense, a beginner’s attack will often unconsciously expose more flaws!
In the Sword God Style, there is a technique to induce the enemy to attack actively, and then take advantage of the opportunity to target the flaws and counterattack.
Before you grow up, I will teach you a lesson in a cool way!
013 Swordsmanship Learning, a Five-Year-Old Advanced Swordsman?! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
The next moment, Rhodes suddenly put down his sword, looking relaxed.
Lilia’s gaze unconsciously shifted downwards along Rhodes’ sword.
Just as doubts were rising in her heart, she suddenly saw Rhodes simply stamp his foot, and a wall of wind and sand completely blocked her sight!
“W-what?!”
It’s actually intermediate magic? !
Didn’t Your Majesty just start reading the textbook last night?
And it’s instant without any chanting!
Could it be that His Majesty is actually a magical genius? !
While feeling sincerely happy for Rhode, Lilia focused her attention and pricked up her ears alertly.
Don’t think you can solve me so easily!
Even if their vision is blocked, a skilled swordsman can use his hearing to determine the enemy’s whereabouts!
However, the strange thing was that Lilia could not hear even the faintest sound of footsteps!
The next moment, she suddenly felt the hairs on her neck stand on end.
It was as if the hand of death was gently caressing her neck.
A sense of imminent death crisis arose in my heart!
Oops!
call out–
Lilya rolled sideways in a panic to avoid the attack from behind, staring at Rhodes who had come up behind her without her noticing.
“Huh? I thought this one would hit.”
After Rhodes missed his target, he shook his head regretfully.
Lilia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and swallowed.
What happened just now?
I have the illusion that my head will be chopped off in the next moment!
Lilya looked at the helpless smile on Rhodes’ face, and the horror in her heart gradually faded away.
Maybe I’m wrong…
But she still had a doubt in her mind.
“Your Majesty, what happened to your steps just now?”
“kindness?”
“You can’t hear anything at all, it’s like you’ve completely disappeared.”
“Oh, that one, you mean? I learned it from the assassin who came to kill me last night.”
Rhodes was quite fond of this sixth skill and proudly demonstrated the technique called Silent Step in front of Lilia.
He clearly stepped on the ground, but made no sound.
“How is it? It’s great for tricking people, right?”
The corners of Lilia’s mouth twitched slightly.
There are so many things I want to complain about, but I don’t know what to say?
Someone came to assassinate you, but you mistook the assassin for your teacher?
Moreover, the other party has been concentrating on honing the skills for more than ten years, and you learned it just by looking at it?
Lilia was really shocked.
Is this true genius?
“Huh… Your Majesty, let’s continue!”
“good!”
Rhodes ran a few quick steps, jumped up, and slashed down with his sword.
Lilia’s eyes flashed, and she slashed with her backhand.
You were careless, Your Majesty!
You know, you can’t avoid it in the air!
It seems that even geniuses are not without flaws before they fully grow up!
However, Rhode twisted Lilia’s sword in mid-air with a strange gesture, almost catching her off guard.
Lilia fended off Rhode’s attack while hesitatingly asking questions.
“just…….”
Rhodes looked indifferent.
“Yes, that’s the technique that the assassin teacher taught me.”
A quarter of an hour later.
Lilia lay on the training ground with a blank look in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, the training between the two ended in a draw.
Rhodes praised her, “As expected of Lilia,” took a box from Rita, and hurried off to take a shower.
Rita looked at the frustrated Lilia with amusement.
“Senior Lilia, isn’t it a good thing that His Majesty possesses a talent beyond common sense?”
Lilia’s lips moved slightly and she sighed.
“That’s true, but…”
In the training just now, Rhodes had indeed used almost all his strength to fight Lilia.
For example, you can spray wind to increase the speed of your sword swing, send out shock waves to suddenly turn your body around, or create a quagmire under the opponent’s feet to make them unable to move…
Lilia didn’t think this was cheating, after all, there was also the profession of magic swordsman in this world.
Rather, it was the fact that he could come up with such a brilliant idea to make up for the difference in arm strength, physical strength and height that truly amazed Lilia, and she felt that her Majesty might be a natural born Beishenliu.
The key point is that by the end of the fight, Rhodes had almost completely mastered the techniques she had worked so hard to acquire over the past decade!
If it weren’t for the difference in physical hardware, Lilya even felt that Rhodes had surpassed her in swordsmanship alone.
And it only took one day!
A five-year-old senior swordsman, that’s unheard of!
014 Zhao Dao: True Copy! The Concept of the Valkyrie Army! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
“Forget it. I already knew I had no talent in swordsmanship.”
“It’s embarrassing to tie with a five-year-old, but if it’s Your Majesty, it’s actually my good fortune!”
Lilia patted her cheeks and got up from the ground, then encouraged herself and cheered herself up.
“My current goal is to become the perfect head maid. I don’t need to pursue combat prowess. My mission is to serve His Majesty well!”
Rita bowed slightly and smiled without saying anything.
Is it a draw?
If His Majesty used that move, Senior Lilia would probably be dreaming of even touching the edge of His Majesty’s clothes, and the battle would be over in an instant.
“Come to think of it, I didn’t expect that Your Majesty is so talented in both swordsmanship and magic.”
Lilia sighed.
“If you wait for your magic teacher to arrive and train for a while, you might be able to defeat me using magic alone.”
Practice for a while longer?
If Your Majesty did not use magic as an auxiliary, but directly used attack magic.
In ten rounds, no, maybe in three rounds, Senior Lilia will fail.
Looking at the silly Lilia, a smile appeared on Rita’s pretty face.
Oh my, I’m jealous of His Majesty’s preference for Senior Lilia.
“Senior Lilia, I’m also very curious about magic. I wonder if you could let me know a little bit about it?”
Today’s training battle also inspired Rita.
The applicability of magic piqued her interest.
She was also curious about what the effect would be if she used Honkai to release magic.
Although Lilia was a little surprised by Rita’s lack of common sense, she did not refuse.
On the way back, Lilia told Rita some basic knowledge and then reminded her.
“If Rita wishes to further her studies, you can ask His Majesty to lend her the textbook.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Senior Lilia, could you please introduce me to your colleagues in the castle? If possible, it would be even better if you could also explain the situation in the surrounding countries to me.”
Lilia’s doubts deepened after hearing this, but she just nodded.
“Okay, although I don’t know much…”
The other side.
After taking a shower, Rod returned to his room and immediately began to excitedly study the box Rita gave him.
“The exclusive weapon of Herrscher Rita of the Throne, the master of the refrigerator!”
Opening the box, the fourth-generation Valkyrie God-killing Armor – Blue Knight Moon Soul, emitted a faint blue light.
It is a specialized armor for emitting particle flows, symbolizing the terrifying side of the moon. It spreads the life-killing coldness across the earth like moonlight, bringing despair to all things.
Rhodes stroked the cold surface of the armor with his right hand, marveling at its beauty.
Feeling the terrifying energy contained within it, a picture emerged in his mind.
——Rita still maintained an absolutely elegant and graceful posture among the Honkai beasts, waving [Skadi of Eternal Frost]. Her flexible and moving figure was as graceful as a dance, yet exuding a deadly murderous intent.
The crescent moon rises, the scythe falls, everything becomes still, only the silver-white Valkyrie dances…
“Tongzi, collect it!”
[It is detected that this item is a summoned character’s own weapon and cannot be collected repeatedly.]“Tsk, as expected.”
Rhodes originally wanted to exploit the bug, but obviously failed.
But it doesn’t matter. He just wants to give it a try and study the armor more.
In order to create the Moon Soul, Tianming spent a lot of manpower and resources.
Logically speaking, in today’s extremely backward alien world, it is a complete luxury to want to study it.
but.
“I have a cheat!”
A faint blue light flashed from Rhodes’ right hand, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly.
“Zhao Dao·Zhen, analysis!”
In an instant, all the technologies related to the composition of armor flooded into Rhodes’ mind!
“Then, replicate!”
Almost all the magic power in Rhodes’ body was drained out.
The identical Moon Soul No. 2 appeared out of thin air!
Rhodes gasped for breath, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“Damn, it almost sucked me dry. Magic capacity is really a big problem. I’ll find a way to solve it when I have time.”
Although the magic power consumption was a bit high, Rhodes was very satisfied with Zhao Dao Zhen’s performance.
Simply consume Ether to create something entirely out of thin air!
However, the prerequisite is that there needs to be a sample to serve as a reference.
Rhodes also tried to directly create a [Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet], but it was obvious that he had never seen the real thing and he couldn’t make it at all.
Maybe one day in the future the fantasy can be realized, but at least not now.
Rhodes looked at the two sets of god-killing armor in front of him, feeling very proud.
“Even if I only make one set a day, I can still create an army’s worth of goddess armor in a short period of time!”
“By then, we won’t need those fence-sitter adventurers to serve as soldiers, and Lilia will become even stronger.”
But then Rhodes frowned again and fell into deep thought.
“However… Moon Soul’s armor was custom-made for Rita. If someone else were to wear it, it might need to be remodeled, and the issue of the stigmata would also have to be taken into consideration.”
In order to modify the armor, he needed more references.
For example, the precious monster drops or magic add-ons in this world.
The palace’s treasury was almost empty, and he still needed to collect treasures from everywhere.
However, as long as he has one piece of any item, he can directly copy it infinitely.
“Although we can’t immediately equip the Valkyrie armor, we can update a batch of magical weapons.”
After spending three hours to recover most of his magic power, Rhodes immediately activated the Zhao Dao Zhen again.
Soul steel, the raw material of the Valkyrie armor, fell to the corner of the room with a loud bang!
Rhodes used Cang to absorb a palm-sized piece of soul steel and studied it with great interest.
“In Honkai, Soul Steel is the culmination of technology from a previous civilization. It is the only material in that world that can effectively utilize Honkai energy.”
“But after systematic transformation, it can also carry etheric magic power, thus becoming the best material for manufacturing magical equipment!”
Rhodes planned to use it to manufacture a large number of standard weapons for future distribution to his own troops.
But he was a little curious.
The basic building block of soul steel is nanorobot, which is considered a scientific programmable material.
In addition to being able to create the Key of God and Valkyrie Armor, this thing can also create advanced computers.
So…a computer that can calculate magic?
Is this science or magic?
“Considering that it’s difficult to cultivate troop loyalty in a short period of time, we can use soul steel to directly mass-produce armed puppets.”
Although Rhodes’s idea was good, reality limited his imagination.
“But with my C programming skills… well, I should ask the almighty Rita if she has this skill later.”
“But for now… let’s summon new subordinates.”
“Tongzi, use the D-rank summon card.”
[Using the D-rank corresponding character summon card….]【Tag: Assassin.】
Rhodes was surprised when he saw the person coming.
“I thought it would be Hassan, but I didn’t expect it to be you.”
The lovely nun, carrying a wonderful creature, saluted Rhodes with a smile.
“Come as summoned! I am Assassin!”
“No matter what the mission is, I will do my best. But if I fail, please forgive me!”

“So, Miss Charlotte is also a servant left behind by the late princess?”
At lunch time, Lilia looked at the newcomer who walked out of Rhodes’ room again, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Charlotte narrowed her emerald green eyes, which were like a fairy lake, and saluted Lilia with a smile, then secretly winked at Rita, who was half a step behind Lilia.
“That’s right~”
Do you take me as a fool?
Lilia really wanted to complain like this, but she chose to give up without saying anything.
She didn’t care about the truth, as long as the other party didn’t hurt Rhodes.
only…
Lilia looked left at Rita, who was as seductive as a succubus, and right at Charlotte, who exuded a holy aura but had an extremely seductive and decadent figure. Finally, she looked down at her granary in frustration.
W-what…
I originally thought that Rita was outrageous enough, but I didn’t expect that Charlotte was actually slightly better than Rita!
Does Your Majesty like the big type?
Lilia, who had never felt a sense of crisis in this regard, had the thought for the first time about whether she should find a way to continue her development.
Rita noticed Lilia’s gaze, a cunning light flashed in her beautiful wine-red eyes, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.
“Senior Lilia, don’t worry, you will continue to grow. The future is yours~”
When Lilya heard this, her face turned red and she said stubbornly.
“Rita always says things that are hard to understand!”
Rhodes watched the affectionate interactions between the young friends with a smile, and then was led to the restaurant by Lilia and Rita on each side.
Charlotte behind him noticed this scene, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked dim.
The room, which was a little deserted yesterday, has become lively today.
Lilia and Rita originally wanted to abide by their maid duties, but under Rhode’s strong request, they finally took their seats reluctantly.
In addition to the usual hot soup and barbecue, Rhodes also saw a dish that he missed very much today.
“…it’s actually dumplings.”
Upon hearing this, Lilia immediately proudly took credit for Rita.
“Rita made it! She said His Majesty would probably enjoy this incredibly difficult delicacy, and she even created a brand new tableware!”
“Her cooking skills are really good. In just one morning, she has already won over all the maids in the palace!”
Rita gave a slight bow.
“Senior Lilia also helped.”
“However, due to the delicate combination of ingredients, I can only do my best to reproduce the flavor. Your Majesty, please do not have too high expectations.”
But Rhodes didn’t care about that. He picked up the chopsticks and didn’t even care about the table etiquette. He couldn’t wait to eat a mouthful of dumplings, and couldn’t help feeling touched in his heart.
It really is a nostalgic taste…
I almost forgot, Rita is one of the three famous chefs in the Honkai world, and she is quite good at Chinese cuisine.
Rhodes almost burst into tears.
Finally, I don’t have to eat those Western foods that are like pig food!
It’s not that he dislikes Lilia’s cooking skills, but Rhodes just can’t stand the taste of that kind.
Rod sincerely believed that summoning Rita was the best decision he had ever made.
She can go to the battlefield and work in the kitchen. She is really a capable and all-round maid!
“Did a colleague make this? I’ve never eaten anything like this before. Let me try it~”
Charlotte took a bite of the dumplings and her eyes widened in surprise.
“tasty!!!”
“Rita Rita, how do you do this? I want to learn too!”
Rita did not hide anything and explained it to her with a smile.
“The key lies in the filling. I chose… When wrapping, pinch the middle tightly. Use your left hand to make a small wave on the top of the right half, then make two more small waves. Pinch the edges of the left half in the same way, and you’re done.”
Charlotte nodded frequently, her eyes sparkling.
“I see. Miss Rita puts so much thought into every complex step. No wonder it makes me so happy when I eat it!”
Rita was quite satisfied with her performance as she was able to make the food taste decent despite the severe lack of food variety.
She wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin with perfect grace and elegance, then suddenly seemed to think of something and looked up curiously and asked.
“Speaking of which, I don’t know Miss Charlotte’s abilities yet. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, forget it.”
Charlotte put down the chopsticks she was not very skilled at using, lowered her head in frustration, and entered a self-pitying and inferiority mode.
“Well, just call me Charlotte. It’s not inconvenient, but… there’s nothing worth mentioning. I’m just an ordinary assassin.”
Lilia’s face showed obvious surprise.
“Assassin… I thought Charlotte was a nun from the Miris Order!”
“Well, I was once a believer, but not of the sect you’re talking about.”
“But no matter how you look at it, Charlotte is more like an elf than a killer!”
“Elf… Hehe, this is the first time someone has used this word to describe me. Thank you, Lilia.”
Rita also felt that Charlotte in front of her was a little strange.
The other person’s lovely face is like that of an angel, and she exudes a gentle and comfortable aura.
He doesn’t look like an assassin living in the shadows at all.
“Don’t underestimate Charlotte~”
Rhodes suddenly spoke in an extremely serious tone.
“She’s an assassination angel.”
Charlotte Corday.
An ordinary girl who had not received any professional training and had no careful and detailed plan.
In order to assassinate the tyrant Marat, whom she believed in, she walked out of the monastery and embarked on the journey of no return to save the country.
She didn’t even know where to strike the most fatal blow, and even if she missed the target, it wouldn’t be fatal. However, she easily approached the target and killed it completely with just one blow.
The process went so smoothly that one couldn’t help but wonder if she was truly blessed by the gods.
After the assassination, Charlotte did not flee, but calmly awaited her trial.
Paul Mara’s reputation in the country is polarized, making him both respected and hated.
So a very magical scene occurred on the guillotine.
The general audience prayed and sang, wishing Charlotte to go to heaven after her death.
It had just rained at that time, and she was regarded by many as a goddess in her red dress.
The other half of Mara’s supporters angrily cursed her and told her to go to hell.
Before the execution even began, supporters of both sides even started fighting.
In the end, she was beheaded by Samson, who was in charge of the execution. She maintained a calm and brave attitude until the end and never showed any fear or anger.
Although she was only D-grade and her strength was not strong, Rhodes admired her sincerely.
Charlotte shyly turned her face away, and her sparkling eyes were filled with the emotion of being recognized.
“I never thought that someone as stupid as me could gain the Master’s approval.”
“But the name of assassination angel is still too shameful!”
Lilia and Rita looked at each other and laughed secretly.
It seems that this new colleague is not difficult to get along with.
The four of them spent their lunch time happily eating and chatting.
After Lilia cleaned up the mess, she arranged the tasks of the palace servants and returned.
Rita confirmed that no one was eavesdropping and nodded to Rhodes with a serious expression.
“Your Majesty, we may begin.”
Charlotte also hurriedly and nervously adjusted her sleeves and sat down seriously.
“I-I’m ready too!”
Rhodes sat in the main seat and raised his chin.
“The first palace meeting begins.”
“Lilia, first explain the current situation in the palace.”
[Pictured is Charlotte Corday. Godfathers, please give me flowers and votes!]016 Reserve Alice, the assassination angel is dispatched! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
“There are currently twelve maids, including Rita and me. All of them are orphans under the age of twenty who have been in the palace since childhood. They are absolutely loyal to Your Majesty!”
“There are fifteen servants and attendants in total. They are responsible for daily tasks such as cleaning the palace, organizing supplies, and external procurement.”
“A steward, an old man from the previous king’s time.”
“Twenty guards. Originally, the palace guards were all comrades of the late king, but they were all taken away in the last battle. Now they are replaced by the former reserve forces. The position of captain is vacant.”
“The country should have had two ministers who regularly came to the palace to report on their work, but they have lost contact since the previous king’s defeat.”
Rhodes nodded slightly when he heard this.
So, even in modern times, the only people in the palace who can be trusted are the maids.
“From today on, I officially appoint Lilia as the head maid, temporarily in charge of all duties related to daily life in the palace.”
Rod paused and added.
“Including material management and external procurement.”
Lilia was mentally prepared and didn’t refuse, she just asked in confusion.
“What about Rita?”
Rhodes thought for a moment.
Logically speaking, Rita is more suitable for positions such as guarding or hunting, but she is now the only “modern person” who can understand his political thinking.
Rhodes was really reluctant to let her go.
“Rita will temporarily serve as my secretary, responsible for assisting me and managing administrative work.”
Rita stood up, lifted her skirt and saluted with precise and graceful movements and a smile on her face.
“Leave all the troublesome matters to me, Your Majesty~”
Charlotte looked left and right and quickly raised her hand.
“Master, what should I do then?”
Rhodes hesitated.
If the person summoned was Hassan, he would command the other party to assassinate without any psychological burden.
But it happened to be Charlotte Corday…
Charlotte seemed to notice Rhodes’ hesitation and smiled gently.
“If it’s the Master, I’m willing to do anything~”
Rhodes looked up.
Charlotte’s clear emerald green eyes revealed a firm look, conveying her awareness through the black silk cloth covering Rhodes’ eyes.
Rhodes took a deep breath and waved his hand to create dozens of parchment scrolls that fell in front of Charlotte and split into two.
Lilya covered her mouth in surprise at Rhodes’s creation of the void, but she still suppressed her curiosity.
Rita thought of something, her pupils suddenly shrank and her whole body tensed up, then she smiled helplessly and shook her head, and her shoulders relaxed again.
“Master, what is this?”
Charlotte looked curiously at the top scroll on the right.
The lifelike red-haired girl strikes a wild and condescending pose, glaring fiercely at the people outside the picture.
“Alice Greyrat?”
“She looks like a cute girl, doesn’t she?”
“Master, do you want me to snatch her back and raise her as a princess? You have such a bad heart.”
“Okay, I agree.”
Lilia became anxious upon hearing this. Although she didn’t understand why she was anxious, she still stared at Rhodes with a puffed face.
“Cute girl?”
“Your Majesty, what’s going on?!”
Rita raised her hand and gently covered her lips with her black lace gloved hand, as if trying to hide her surprise.
“Oh, could it be that His Majesty actually likes children?”
Rod snorted at Rita in dissatisfaction.
What right do you, a lolita control, have to blame me!
He explained patiently.
“The names on that list all have a significant impact on the fate of the world, and are related to my game with the ultimate enemy of this world.”
“I’ve detailed their location, personality, and weaknesses. The one marked as S-rank is [Must guide them to Arcadia].”
When it came to serious matters, Charlotte stopped smiling and read the contents of the scroll carefully.
“I’m not very good at using words to persuade people, but I will try my best. But if I can’t guide them…”
Rhodes knocked on the table decisively.
“Bring them here even if you want to. I will never allow them to wander anywhere else!”
Even without considering the beauties that fill the harem.
Alice, Roxy and Sylphy are genuine S-level girls in terms of world weight, which is equivalent to him having reserved three S-level character summoning cards!
If Rita can be summoned at A-level, what about S-level? It makes people look forward to it.
And the easiest time to get them is when they have obvious weaknesses in their childhood.
When they grow up, their wills will be stronger than each other, and delaying action until then will only result in half the effort and twice the result.
“But if your life is in danger, I allow you to give up.”
Rhodes warned seriously.
“They are important, but you are just as important, Charlotte.”
Charlotte was startled, then smiled softly.
“OK.”
However, the pair of slender yet powerful fists under the table were quietly clenched, and his eyes were filled with the light of determination to complete the Master’s orders at all costs.
After finding out the truth, Lilia was no longer jealous, but instead felt very worried about her new sister.
“Your Majesty, do you want Charlotte to travel around the continent? But it would be too dangerous for a girl like her. Do you want to arrange some guards?”
Rhodes looked at Charlotte.
Charlotte shook her head.
“It’s okay, I can protect myself.”
Charlotte isn’t a Heroic Spirit who specializes in head-on combat, but her inherent skill [Breath Block C] allows her to hide her form most of the time.
The combination of [Assassination Angel A] and [Ridiculous Plan D+] can greatly increase her luck value and reduce the vigilance of all enemies.
If you encounter an enemy that you have to fight, use your Noble Phantasm to catch them off guard.
That intermediate instant-death effect that ignores defense can theoretically kill even the Dragon God!
What’s more, Charlotte has different advantages from Rita.
She can particle and communicate with Rhodes remotely at critical moments.
Rhodes was still relatively relieved about her, but he still gave her a serious warning.
“I’ve gathered all the dangerous targets I know about into the intelligence. As long as you don’t encounter them, you’ll most likely be safe.”
“If there really is an emergency, I will summon you back directly.”
Although he didn’t have a Command Spell, as long as he consumed a large amount of magic power, Rhodes could still summon Charlotte to his side at any time.
But there is no way to send it back the same way.
Charlotte looked at the parchment scroll on her left.
The man at the top makes people feel sick from the bottom of their hearts when they first see him.
To describe it in one sentence, it is an old civet cat.
A plump body, sagging cheeks, and a disgusting look.
“So what’s this side…?”
Rhodes supported his chin and spoke in a cold tone.
“I don’t believe there are any enemies in this world that I cannot defeat without assassination.”
“But I’m not the type of person who has a moral quirk and remains indifferent when others attack me.”
“Darius…sent assassins to kill me. This may be related to my father’s death in battle.”
“If there’s a chance, kill him with the most brutal means, or keep him in constant fear, waiting for my personal judgment.”
The parchment scroll records Darius’s numerous crimes.
There is no doubt that the other party is the worst kind of nobles.
Charlotte hated tyranny, so she nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Rita narrowed her eyes slightly.
Her smile was still charming, and even her sitting posture hadn’t changed at all.
But the murderous aura, like a biting cold wind sweeping in from a thousand-year-old glacier, made Charlotte subconsciously go on alert.
She probably didn’t expect that the gentle maid in front of her would actually exude such a terrifying murderous aura!
“So he’s the mastermind behind the assassination of Your Majesty. Do you want me to kill his entire family?”
Rhodes smiled calmly and shook his head.
“He’s just a chess piece of a human god. I don’t take him seriously at all.”
“Letting Charlotte take action is based on the principle of equality. It’s not to the point where Rita has to kill him immediately.”
“As for those remaining in the parchment scroll… we must first stabilize the country before we can fight against foreign enemies. They are traitors in the palace.”
“I want you to assassinate them. After all, they once served me. This should be considered a dignified death for them.”

Lilya seemed a little reluctant to hear this, but she remained silent.
Maybe there are people she knows on the list, but betrayal of His Majesty is her bottom line that she cannot tolerate.
Rhodes noticed Lilya’s expression, breathed a sigh of relief, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and conjured up another stack of parchment scrolls that flew in front of Lilya.
“As for the remaining people in the palace, although they haven’t rebelled, their morale is unsettled.”
“They are no longer suitable to stay with me. Give them some money and send them off. The amount is up to you, Lilia.”
Lilia’s pretty face showed some distress as she looked at the parchment scroll in front of her, somewhat undecided.
“His Majesty……”
Rhodes asked doubtfully.
“Are you having trouble?”
“Even if we live frugally, the money in the palace is only enough for us to spend for half a year. If we pay this large severance pay, I’m afraid we will starve.”
Rhodes almost couldn’t hold it in.
How on earth was that stinky old dad made?
Damn, is there any prince who inherited a country more miserable than him?
How come you don’t even have money?
But it’s okay.
If it were before, he might have to spend a lot of effort to develop products such as glass wine, and use business methods to expand his wealth over the years.
But now…he has a simpler and more brutal approach.
“Lilia, give me a gold coin.”
“Huh? Ok, ok!”
Lilya carefully tore open the lining of her clothes and took out two gold coins and three silver coins.
“These are the gold coins I carried with me at the time, just in case I had to escape with His Majesty.”
Rhodes was silent for two seconds, his tone soft.
“Don’t worry, from today on, we don’t have to worry anymore.”
Lilia nodded vigorously, smiling like a flower.
“Well, I believe in Your Majesty, and we have more and more companions!”
Rhodes picked up a gold coin and looked at it carefully.
Asra gold coins.
Oh, as a country, you don’t even have your own currency?
Yes, a country might be destroyed one day, so how could it have the credibility to issue currency?
One Asura gold coin was roughly equivalent to five thousand yuan in the previous life, while one silver coin was equivalent to five hundred yuan, and a large copper coin was fifty.
However, because it is in a conflict zone, the purchasing power of strong currencies such as Asura gold coins is higher.
“Lilia, starting today, you have to change your previous habits.”
Lilya tilted her head in confusion, only to see Rhodes casually toss the gold coin into the sky.
He propped his chin on his right hand and declared lightly.
“As long as I want, I am the richest king in the world!”
Ding-ling-dang-clang——
Countless gold coins rained down and flooded half of the hall in an instant!
There was a long silence.
I don’t know who swallowed first.
Charlotte quietly picked up a gold coin and bit it hard, then showed an aggrieved expression in pain.
“It’s not an illusion!”
Rita’s beautiful wine-red eyes flickered slightly, and she stood up gracefully and walked towards the pile of gold coins, as if to confirm their authenticity. However, halfway through, she changed direction like dancing, naturally squeezed into Rhodes’ main seat, held Rhodes in her arms, and asked softly.
“I’ve been curious for a long time, my little master, you don’t really have that, do you?”
Lilia and Charlotte’s eyes instantly became sharp, murderous, and gritting their teeth, as if they were so envious that they wanted to replace her.
Lilia slammed the table angrily.
“Rita, how could a maid offend His Majesty like this? Even I… No, anyway, get down here!”
The warm breath brushed past Rhodes’ earlobe like a breeze, and the rose scent on Rita’s body flowed into his nostrils.
Rhodes never expected that the first Shura field he would enjoy would come from the maids.
Lilya was still young and hadn’t yet turned into the stern maid she would become in the future. After opening her heart to heart with Rhodes, her suppressed girlish nature was liberated.
However, the third player on the field, Charlotte, appeared quite calm, perhaps because she had not been in contact with Rhodes for too long.
Rhodes thought to himself that a gentle older sister like that probably didn’t understand the concept of jealousy.
Charlotte simply maintained a polite smile and quietly watched Rita hold Rod in her arms and ravage him.
The next moment.
Clang——
The exclusive weapon named [Angel’s Assassination] fell from the nun’s uniform to the ground, making a noticeable sound, whether intentionally or deliberately.
In order to prevent the war from escalating, Rhodes patted Rita’s hand, helplessly signaling her not to continue to add fuel to the fire, and explained.
“I know what you want to ask. I don’t have a rational core, but I have something similar that can create things out of thin air.”
“So, Rita, is there a way to reverse engineer the prototype Blank Key using your Moon Soul Armor?”
After getting the definite answer, Rita breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with satisfaction, but her fingers in lace gloves still gently hooked Rhodes’ palm.
Rita stole a glance at Charlotte and Lilia, who were completely unaware, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
What a pair of adorable idiots! I’ll definitely be the first one to win this round~
The touch was very silky and made Rhodes feel a little itchy.
Damn, could it be that Rita isn’t a lolita complex, she just simply likes small ones?
Rhodes was about to turn around and say something, but he saw Rita thinking seriously and then answering.
“The Moon Soul is too different from the prototype. If there were…scientists here, perhaps they could do it. Honestly, I’m not good at research.”
Although Rita was a bit scheming and always liked to stir up trouble, it had to be said that she really understood Rhodes and immediately guessed his thoughts accurately.
“Your Majesty, are you planning to form an army of Valkyries?”

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 018 Arcadia’s Dilemma, Mass Replicating Godkiller Armor? (Please give me flowers and votes)
Rita blinked, then suddenly came to her senses, her eyes widening in surprise.
“Wait, you haven’t already copied a Moon Soul!”
Rhodes took a deep breath and nodded seriously.
“Yes, the situation in the conflict zone is not peaceful. Many small countries have the support of larger nations. We must maintain a loyal and capable force.”
Lilia took out a simple map with a serious expression, spread it out and explained to her two colleagues the crisis facing the country.
“In fact, our current situation is very grim.”
Ever since the Battle of Laplace ended four hundred years ago.
The west is the most fertile land in the central continent, and is dominated by the Asura Kingdom, the only kingdom that has not perished.
However, other places, namely the central and southern parts, which were not as fertile as the west but still had fertile land, were not originally owned by anyone.
In order to compete for these fertile lands, the survivors flocked there and created countries as they pleased.
The first to emerge was the Kingdom of Wanglong, whose capital was located in the southern part of the central continent.
After they drove away Wang Long, their territory expanded, they obtained a large amount of mineral resources, and became the strongest country in the southern part of the Central Road.
Later, in order to obtain all the southern lands, the Kingdom of Wanglong destroyed all the coastal countries, made Shanakia and Zikana vassal states, and even obtained the Kingdom of Shillong.
They later used the Kingdom of Shillong as a base to advance into the conflict zone, suppressing the entire territory in one fell swoop and becoming the strongest country at the time.
However, the Kingdom of Asura and the Holy Kingdom of Milis joined forces to stop the Kingdom of Wanglong and concluded an agreement that neither side would take action against the conflict zone.
However, privately, every country covets the land in the central part of the Central Road.
The three kingdoms regard the disputed zone as a chessboard, each controlling the powerful pieces on the board and launching endless proxy wars.
Once a party wins, they will force it to become a vassal state.
The idea is good, but spies from various countries are secretly active in the disputed areas.
Once a country grows stronger and begins to unify the central region, it will begin to pull the other side back, causing civil unrest and disintegrating the entire country.
Rhodes stood on a chair, pointed his finger at the location of Arcadia on the map, and explained his plan to everyone.
“The western part of the conflict zone is isolated from the powerful Asura Kingdom by the Red Dragon Mountains. If we eliminate the agents in the early stages, we don’t have to worry about the Asura Kingdom’s army.”
“But Darius, the one who assassinated me, was a minister of the Asura Kingdom. Arcadia is bound to have a war with the Asura Kingdom. At that time, the Red Dragon Mountains will become an obstacle for us.”
The Kingdom of Asura has been in a state of peace and stability for many years, and its military strength is not enough to make Rhodes feel intimidated.
The only thing that troubles him is the Ankylosaur King Pergius Dora who is hiding behind the Asura Kingdom!
The Armored Dragon King was one of the three heroes who killed the Demon God in the Battle of Laplace four hundred years ago. He was a good friend of the first emperor of the Asura Kingdom and had considerable influence in this country.
He now sits in the aerial fortress and has twelve very powerful familiars under his command, and his strength is very strong.
For now, Arcadia cannot be targeted by him.
This is also the reason why Rhodes longs to obtain S-level combat power.
Before he grows up, Arcadia must have top-level combat power to check and balance the top strongmen.
Rhodes paused, swept his fingers across the northern continent, and then stopped in the south.
“The northern land is covered with snow and forests. The land is barren and difficult to cultivate. There are only a few small countries. There is no need to worry.”
“The southern part of the conflict zone is flat, but it faces the forces of the Wanglong Kingdom. If the Wanglong Kingdom invades us, we can directly obtain supplies and troops from Shanakia, Zika, and the Xilong Kingdom.”
“On the other hand, if we want to attack the Kingdom of Wang Long, we have no choice but to capture these three vassal states one after another along this narrow corridor!”
Rita looked at the conflict zone that was completely surrounded, like a wild beast locked tightly in an iron cage, with no freedom and no future.
She suddenly looked towards the endless ocean in the east.
“Your Majesty, what if we go out to sea?”
Lilia glanced at Rita and shook her head regretfully.
“The ocean is controlled by the sea tribe. Humans can only sail along the coastline at best and cannot cross the ocean at all.”
Rhodes sat back in his chair, his eyes serious.
“We don’t need an army that can occupy and manage a country right now, but we must have a force that can intimidate other small nations in the conflict zone as quickly as possible.”
Rita is indeed powerful, but if she acts rashly and attracts the attention of spies and directly brings the Ankylosaur King, it will be a headache.
“During my research, I discovered that the Moon Soul’s applicability is not high, so I plan to mass-produce universal God-killing armor by reversing the Blank Key.”
“Well, the first batch of suitable personnel will be selected from the maids who are most loyal to me.”
“What do you think, Rita?”
In Rhodes’s view, ability can be improved, but loyalty is the most valuable.
Rita’s expression was a little unnatural. She put her green fingers against her forehead and sighed helplessly.
“Mass-producing God-killing Armor… that’s a statement that would have made the logistics department faint.”
Rita glanced at Rhodes with envy and said quietly.
“But in the face of your unreasonable power, no matter how difficult the task is, it is no longer a problem.”
After all, that is authority close to that of a god.
[The image shows the world map for No Job (game), the fusion world will be slightly different. Also, please give me flowers and votes!]019 Carbon-based Hunter, Gene Harvester (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector Emperor: 019 Carbon-Based Hunter, Gene Harvester (Please give me flowers and votes)
Rita suggested after a brief pause.
“Although the Blank Key is theoretically stronger than the God Slayer Armor, it may not be suitable for the current situation without the Herrscher Core.”
Rhodes was thoughtful after hearing this.
That’s right.
The essence of the Blank Key is to allow the wearer to connect to the imaginary space within the Herrscher’s core, thereby temporarily allowing the wearer to mobilize the power of the corresponding core like the Herrscher.
In the case of a blank slate, there is really no need to be too obsessed with the God-killing Armor at the beginning.
“So, what’s your recommendation?”
Rita bowed her head respectfully.
“Since Your Majesty intends to form a Valkyrie with maids, I recommend using the third-generation armor [Dark Rose] as the standard armament, which is what I am wearing now.”
Lilia’s eyes lit up with excitement when she heard this.
“So, I also have the chance to wear such beautiful clothes?!”
Rita noticed Lilia’s expectant look, nodded slightly, and chuckled softly.
“Don’t think it’s just beautiful. This suit of armor may look like ordinary clothing, but it actually contains extremely complex and sophisticated energy amplification technology, which can greatly increase the wearer’s physical attack and battlefield survivability.”
“However, with the might of Your Majesty, replicating it is naturally a piece of cake.”
Rita suddenly pursed her lips and frowned slightly. She glanced at the door and then looked at Rhodes with a questioning look.
Rhodes crossed his hands, rested his elbows on the table, covered his nose with the back of his hands, leaving only a pair of deep eyes exposed, and nodded slightly with an expressionless face.
Rita’s mouth curled up dangerously, her gray-gold bangs covered her left eye, and a cold light flashed in her rosy eyes.
“However, if you’re carrying out a dangerous hunting mission, I recommend wearing this [Hunting Suit – Shadow Iron].”
She walked gracefully in high heels with her hands outstretched.
Pieces of black shadow iron armor flew out from the holy scars on her back and reorganized into quantum pieces, covering Rita’s entire body.
“After all, no carbon-based creature can hide from my good dog~”
As soon as the words fell.
The autonomous tracking weapon that came with the [Hunting Suit·Shadow Iron], a mechanical dog named Carbon Hunter, roared and leaped out, smashing the door like lightning.
The miserable screams resounded throughout the palace.
“ah–!!!”
“Help, help, monster, there’s a monster!!!”
The steel teeth chewed bones and flesh, making a teeth-aching sound.
Blood splattered on the walls of the corridor like raindrops.
The old butler covered his broken leg and screamed in fear, then clumsily took out a dagger from his arms and waved it around wildly.
The blade struck the metal shell, sending sparks flying, but the mechanical dog was too lazy to dodge and didn’t need to defend itself at all.
“Don’t, don’t come over here!”
Dadada——
The sound of crisp footsteps came from the shadows.
The sound of shoes hitting the ground echoed in the corridor like the sound of a death knell.
Slowly walking out from the spreading pool of blood, the elegant maid skillfully waved the glowing sickle a few times, staring down at the old butler with a deathly smile.
“Good day, Mr. Eavesdropper~”
The old butler didn’t care about the visitor at all and shouted loudly in an imperative tone.
“Idiot, why don’t you drive that monster away! Hurry, find someone to save me!”
Rita narrowed her eyes slightly and swung her scythe.
In an instant, broken limbs and arms flew everywhere.
The old butler’s left leg and right hand were ruthlessly cut off.
Rita pressed the sharp blade of the sickle against the old butler’s forehead.
“Gene Harvester, a biological hunting suit created by Helheim Laboratories using biotechnology.”
“We only need to obtain a small genetic sample during combat to quickly interpret the target’s biological data and switch tactical modes.”
Rita seemed to be explaining something to someone, but also seemed to be talking to herself.
“At the same time, this weapon will also specifically deploy the toxin [Avalanche] based on the target’s genetic sequence, continuously corroding the torn flesh.”
“Don’t you understand? It’s okay… Before you die from blood loss, you will feel the excruciating pain of being cut into pieces. This is the punishment for betrayal~”
The old butler’s eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth as he glared at Rita with hatred.
“Who are you?! Why are you doing this?!”
Rita tilted her head and sighed sadly.
“Me? I’m just a poor maid trying to please His Majesty~”
“Maid…you belong to him?! He’s only five years old, how could it be possible…”
The old butler widened his eyes in disbelief, and then shouted loudly as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.
“Your Majesty, yes, Your Majesty! I want to see him!”
“Your Majesty, it’s me! Have you forgotten me? I’m the steward left to you by the late king, and I have the authority to supervise you!”
Rhodes’s cold voice came from the end of the corridor.
“Oh? Is that true, Lilia?”
–
020 You Just Know You’re Going to Die (Please Give Me Flowers and Votes) (Old Version)
“Your Majesty, the old butler is indeed an old man from the time of the previous king, but he was not favored by the previous king. He was only given a job because of his early years of following him.”
The old butler coughed up a pool of blood in anger.
“Just a lowly maid… ahem… if I had known earlier, I should have kicked you out!”
Rita slightly turned sideways and lowered her head respectfully to make way for Rod.
Rhodes stopped and looked indifferently at the old butler who looked so miserable that he was no longer human. In his heart, he had already sentenced his entire family to death.
“You want to see me? What else do you want to say?”
The old butler was about to speak angrily when he saw Rhodes, but was suddenly frightened by the power emanating from Rhodes.
The young lion seemed to fall down easily if it retreated, but it exuded a disproportionate sense of power.
The sight shining directly through the black silk cloth has a terrifying momentum that seems to be able to swallow up the entire space!
The old butler’s whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and he wisely swallowed back the words he had prepared to use his status to act in an arrogant manner.
“I, I…”
He was just an ordinary kid a few days ago, but now I feel like I’ve seen the late king…
No, not even the previous king had such fear that he dared not look directly at him.
The old butler’s eyes were evasive, but he was still talking nonsense.
“I, I… Your Majesty, these lowly maids have fooled your mind. I am the one you trust the most. Please drive them away and save me quickly, otherwise the country will perish…”
Rhodes raised his hand to interrupt the old butler’s argument and shook his head in boredom.
“I can see right from wrong.”
“Stealing property, eavesdropping on secrets, hiding weapons, acting as an insider… Oh, you are truly a loyal subject.”
“According to the law, you should be hanged. I wanted to give you a decent death, but now it seems you don’t want it.”
The crowned youngest son coldly revealed the cruel excommunication.
“Rita, let the mechanical dog chew him into pieces.”
The old butler trembled with fear when he heard this.
“No, no!!!”
This was completely different from what he had imagined!
He didn’t understand how Rhodes, who was easily fooled before, knew the truth.
He didn’t understand why Rhodes, who was only five years old, could issue such cruel orders without changing his expression.
He also couldn’t understand why Rhodes, who had no one loyal to him except a few maids in the palace, actually hid such a terrifying force!
If he had known this earlier…why would he choose to betray!
The old butler immediately gave up the fight and pleaded with tears in his eyes, trying to awaken Rhodes’ sympathy.
“Your Majesty… Please forgive me for the many years I’ve served the late king. I had no choice but to do this because my family was kidnapped by that guy. I, I know I was wrong!”
Hearing this, Rhodes was surprised for a moment, then smiled like an innocent child.
“Oh? You said you know you’re wrong?”
The three women looked at Rhodes, waiting for his order.
Lilia glared fiercely at the old housekeeper who was pretending to be pitiful. She anxiously wanted to persuade Rhodes not to let the traitor go, but Charlotte secretly stopped her and signaled her not to be impatient.
The next moment, Rhodes restrained the smile on his face, waved his right hand expressionlessly, and spoke in a cold tone.
“You just know you’re going to die.”
Rita’s eyes sparkled with approval.
As expected of His Majesty, you are decisive!
“No, no, tyrant, I curse you. I curse that sooner or later you will die at the hands of that adult, hahahahahaha……..!!!”
The mechanical dog bared its sharp fangs and happily gnawed the old butler until no flesh and blood remained.
Wounds opened, flesh was torn, and bone marrow was chewed…
Because of the neurotoxin, the old butler could only watch his body being eaten bit by bit.
However, his tragic death did not win anyone’s sympathy.
Rhodes looked quietly at the meat scraps on the ground and suddenly asked.
“Charlotte, I thought he said he had a family?”
Charlotte understood what he said and gripped her weapon tightly.
Before her was the only noble man who acknowledged her existence.
She vowed to protect his purity.
Even if my hands are stained with dirty blood, even if I fall into the endless hell.
“I will reunite them~”
Rhodes stroked HD-603’s mechanical dog head with his right hand, signaling Rita to follow.
“Charlotte and Lilia will be in charge of carrying out the previous plan. Rita will be accompanying me on a trip. I hope the palace will be completely renewed when I return.”
Lilia and Charlotte looked at each other and nodded vigorously.
“yes!”
Before leaving, Lilia took Rita’s hand and gave her a serious warning.
“With your power, Rita, there is almost no danger in the capital, but there is one place that His Majesty must not go to.”
Hearing this, Rita also showed a serious expression on her face.
“Where?”
Lilia looked worried.
“There are ruins near the capital. It seems the late king was entrusted with protecting them from being unsealed.”
“It is said that a terrifying demon clan that killed countless humans hundreds of years ago is sealed there. Once the seal is broken, no human will be able to withstand its slaughter!”
Rita immediately thought of going to kill the demon, but for Rhodes’ safety, she decided to postpone it.
At the same time, Rita also noticed something unusual and asked bluntly.
“If the demons are truly that dangerous, then this country’s power is simply not enough to shoulder the responsibility of protecting them, right?”
Lilia smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“I don’t know the specifics, but I know it seems to be related to the elven magician who is responsible for teaching Your Majesty.”
Rita took a deep breath and silently switched her armor to the strongest [Blue Knight·Moon Soul].
“I understand. Any enemy who wishes to harm Your Majesty can only do so through the icy moonlight!”
021 Royal Capital? Tucun! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 021 The Royal Capital? Tucun! (Please give me flowers and votes)
This was the first time Rhodes left the palace after awakening his memories of his past life.
I was originally full of anticipation for the other world, but I immediately regretted it as soon as I went out.
There is hardly a good road in the whole of Elseran.
Even the main roads are bumpy dirt roads. If a strong wind blows, the whole city will be filled with yellow earth and sandstorms.
Rhodes could imagine how muddy the streets would be on rainy days.
What made him even more unbearable was the pungent smell of feces.
Yellow objects can be seen everywhere on the road. Even if passers-by step on them out of curiosity about the identities of Rhodes and Rita, they don’t seem to curse or yell, as if they have long been accustomed to it.
Rhodes fell silent when he saw this scene.
“……Rita.”
Before Rhodes finished speaking, Rita immediately lowered her head with understanding.
“I’ve already put road repairs and the construction of public toilets on the agenda. Once I spend half a day researching the role magic can play in infrastructure, I’ll submit a complete construction plan.”
Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a sense of relief rose in his heart.
Fortunately, the one summoned was Rita, who has modern ideas…
It’s good to have a capable secretary.
The two then walked along the main road to the main gate of the royal capital to observe secretly.
Rhodes was silenced again.
“……Rita, have you read the national history recorded in the palace?”
“Yes.”
“Then what is the description of the royal capital, Elseran?”
Rita’s expression was also a little subtle, and she organized her words.
“The royal capital of Elseran is the most beautiful city in the Conflict Zone, a fertile land that many civilians yearn for.”
“It’s vast, and its tall walls are built of solid black stone. No monster can cross even a single step.”
“Living in Elserland is a great honor and guarantees absolute safety.”
He suspected that he had seen it wrong, and used his six eyes to observe carefully several times. Finally, he confirmed speechlessly that the so-called “tall black stone wall” referred to the earth slope less than three meters high in front of him.
Rita continued.
“There are many shops in Elserland, and tourists flock to it. All merchants are proud to open shops in Elserland.”
Rhodes looked around with his eyelids twitching slightly.
The streets are lined with dilapidated and leaky houses, and the old houses that have not been lived in for many years are crumbling.
A young child in ragged clothes timidly begged from passers-by with a broken bowl, but was constantly and roughly pushed aside.
They looked pale and thin, obviously having not eaten a full meal for a long time.
“The most magnificent and splendid place in Elserland is undoubtedly the royal palace. The tableware is carved from crystal, the floor is covered with carpets sewn with gold thread, and the walls are covered with dazzling gold and silver decorations…”
Rhodes really couldn’t bear to listen any longer, and quickly interrupted Rita’s speech which was deliberately recited in an aria.
“That’s enough. I know exactly how shabby the palace is.”
“The person who compiled that book is truly a genius. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have almost believed his nonsense. Can’t he have a bit of literary integrity?”
Seeing Rod’s childish look of embarrassment, Rita covered her mouth and laughed.
“Perhaps the late king forced him to describe it this way at knifepoint.”
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile.
“Well, you nevermind, it’s really possible.”
However, Rhodes knew in his heart that the dilapidated state of the royal capital was not necessarily the fault of the previous king.
Being able to protect the safety of an area in a conflict zone is a great achievement.
As for wanting to create a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone has enough food to eat and lives and works in peace and contentment, I’m afraid people in this world don’t even dare to have that fantasy.
Rhodes pondered for a long time and turned his attention back to the soldiers on both sides of the gate.
The guards at the gate seemed to be veterans who had retired from the battlefield, and they were much more dedicated than the guards in the palace.
Rhodes used his six eyes to observe them and found that ordinary guards also possessed the power of advanced swordsmen, and the captain was infinitely close to a sword saint.
However, all of them had injuries of varying degrees, which not only reduced their combat effectiveness but also hindered their ability to become stronger.
Rita observed the soldier’s skillful movements in taking the buckle, bent down and reminded him softly.
“According to Senior Lilia, the previous king fought many wars, leaving the treasury empty. The soldiers had no choice but to find other ways to support their families.”
“Rather, they still haven’t thought of betrayal at this time, which can be considered loyal.”
Rhodes nodded silently.
“Don’t worry, I don’t mean to blame them.”
He pointed at the captain holding a spear.
“Rita, bring him here, I have something to ask.”
Rita nodded, and when she walked to the other side, the captain was frightened by the powerful aura emanating from Rita and almost sounded the alarm.
The captain followed the direction of Rita’s finger and saw Rhodes nodding. His eyes widened instantly and he hurriedly followed Rita to Rhodes’ side.
Rhodes waved his hand to interrupt the other party’s intention to kneel down and asked a question directly.
“No need to salute, what’s your name?”
The captain lowered his head in subconscious obedience.
“Your Majesty, my name is Nathan Reitbart, and I am temporarily serving as the captain of the Royal Guard.”
[The one behind the picture is a carbon-based hunter, please give me flowers and votes]022 Nathan’s touching, His Majesty is so kind! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
After Nathan finished speaking, he stole a glance at the young master, whose face looked a little childish, and was quite shocked.
There were rumors in the army before that the young monarch was just a playboy who could accomplish nothing.
As a result, now that they were in close contact, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis from Rhodes!
You know, he is a warrior who has experienced many battles!
And he was facing just a five-year-old child.
But is Your Majesty injured? Why are your eyes covered with a black cloth…
But even so, the captain felt uncomfortable as if he was seen through.
Just standing in front of the young master made him break out in a cold sweat, and the pressure was so great that he even had difficulty breathing.
“Retbart? You…were once a noble?”
Rhodes’ words broke the stagnant atmosphere.
Nathan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly lowered his head to tell his whole story.
“I come from a branch of the Retbat family in the Asura Kingdom. Although I’m considered a noble, I’m only at the middle level in a small place.”
“Because the ministers of the Asura Kingdom have been constantly eliminating dissidents within the country, my family has been affected and has fallen apart.”
Having said that, Nathan’s eyes dimmed a little, and his right hand clenched the spear angrily.
Rita frowned slightly, and calmly stretched out her left hand, using the gleaming silver arm armor to protect Rhodes.
Nathan continued his story as if unaware.
“I fled with my family and only managed to escape the minister’s assassins when we reached the conflict zone. Just when we were about to be killed by the bandits, it was the late king who saved us.”
His tone gradually became excited and his face was full of gratitude.
“The late king did not doubt or reject me because of my background, and entrusted me with important tasks. From that moment on, I decided to protect this country to the death!”
Rhodes observed carefully and confirmed that he was not lying, so his tone became much kinder.
“How many troops does the country have control over now?”
Nathan was stunned for a moment and answered hesitantly.
“Three thousand…”
Rhodes frowned slightly.
“I want to be true to mine.”
Nathan quickly corrected himself and lowered his head in shame.
“One hundred and fifty men, all veterans who had fought under the previous king.”
Rhodes raised his eyebrows in surprise and muttered to himself.
“One hundred and fifty people… This number is much larger than I expected.”
Rod turned and nodded to Rita.
Rita took out a purse and handed it to Nathan.
Nathan was terrified and didn’t dare to accept it.
“Your Majesty, this is…”
Rhodes smiled and stretched out his hand, intending to pat Nathan’s shoulder, but found that he was not tall enough, so he could only pat Nathan’s shoulder.
The maid beside him let out a barely perceptible laugh.
Rhodes secretly decided to deal with her after returning.
He looked at Nathan earnestly.
“Don’t be nervous. This is the salary you deserve for your loyalty. However, I need you to do something.”
Nathan understood immediately after hearing this, took a deep breath, patted his chest and mustered up the courage to declare.
“Your Majesty, as long as it is your order, no matter if it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I will not fear it!”
Nathan thought it was time to repay his gratitude.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong, but he couldn’t help but worry about the children at home.
But when he saw the big bag of gold coins in front of him, he thought secretly.
This exaggerated sum of money is enough to create another nobleman!
If the royal family today were to spend this amount of money, they would probably have to suffer heavy losses and would have to tighten their belts.
The late king saved my life, and the young lord treats me with such courtesy.
What do I have to worry about?!
Rhodes was satisfied with Nathan’s loyalty, but he couldn’t help feeling a little regretful.
Because Nathan’s loyalty did not trigger a system prompt, it seems that only people with names in the original work are eligible to be [collected].
“Don’t be nervous. I want you to dismiss those thousands of wavering soldiers. Lilia will give you plenty of gold coins.”
“I need you to pay them their previous salaries and double their severance pay, and send them out of town.”
Rod paused, wiped away the non-existent tears with the back of his hand, and sighed sincerely.
“It’s not their fault that they are wavering. After all, it’s the country that cannot give them a stable future.”
“But they have served the country. As a king, I will find a good way out for them even if it means losing everything I own!”
Nathan was anxious to persuade him when he heard this, but Rod signaled him not to be anxious because the bigger one was still to come.
“After all this is done, tonight, except for the soldiers who are not on rotation, you will gather all the veterans who are loyal to me to the training ground. You don’t need to wear armor.”
“I will personally make up for all the wages they owe and double their salaries! Then I will start recruiting again, those who are still willing to follow me.”
“Even if I have to live on the streets, I won’t let my loyal soldiers go hungry!”
“As for the details of the conscription… I’ll let Rita tell you later.”
After hearing this, Nathan was speechless.
This is ridiculous…
This kind of behavior of being taken advantage of is simply courting death!
Even drunk adventurers would laugh at Rhodes’s incompetence as a monarch after hearing this.
But why…
Why is there a raging fire in my heart that wants to die for you!
The nobles in this world are only bad and worse!
There has never been a king who values these soldiers so much!
Even if it was just a casual comment, I’ve never heard anyone say that.
But Nathan didn’t think that the young master in front of him was acting. After all, he was just a five-year-old child!
Yes, what the young master in front of us says must be sincere. He is the benevolent and wise king sent by God!
I must be loyal to him and protect him!

Tears welled up in Nathan’s eyes and his voice was choked.
“Your Majesty, you…”
Rhodes smiled kindly.
“Go ahead and do it.”
Rita had some guesses about Rod’s seemingly absurd behavior, but she was also very confused.
Rhodes signaled with his eyes that he would explain later. He was not the kind of person who liked to be taken advantage of.
After asking Nathan for a list of troops, they left the place.
Nathan bowed with respect and did not stand up for a long time.
“Dad… Dad?”
A boy’s voice rang out, breaking Nathan’s complicated and excited mood.
The boy looked at his father’s strange expression and asked puzzledly.
“Dad, why are you here? Mom asked me to bring you food. I’ve been looking for you for a long time. What are you looking at?”
Nathan came to his senses and saw his son coming, so he smiled gently.
“Dad is looking at the future of the country. Perhaps… the peace your mother hopes for will be brought by that little Majesty.”
The boy stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction Nathan was looking, but he could only see two figures, one big and one small.
“His Majesty……?”
Nathan smiled and patted his son’s head.
“Your Majesty is a wise ruler rarely seen in history. He is the same age as you, yet he knows how to sympathize with the soldiers.”
“You must be loyal to him, assist him, protect him, and witness the future peaceful and prosperous times on my behalf, even though I may not live to see them. Do you understand, Dilic?”
Dilik Retbat could not fully understand what his father said, but he secretly kept it in mind and nodded vigorously.
He clenched his little fist and waved it, speaking seriously.
“I understand. I will work hard to become a useful person to Your Majesty!”
“Haha, then you have to study hard! Come on, let me check the magic you learned yesterday!”
“Ah… well, uh, Mom’s still waiting for me… I’m going home first!”
“Hahaha, run slower, you little brat!”
at the same time.
Rhodes in the distance suddenly stopped.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the A-level character: Dilic Reitbart]Tags: Child/Politician/Guardian
[Reward: A-level summon card! ]ha?
Diliq Reitbart?
The same last name as Captain Nathan?
When did I conquer him?
And he’s actually an A-level character, how come I have no impression of him at all?
Rhodes racked his brains and finally found the relevant plot of this name from his memory.
In the original plot, Dilik graduated from Asura Magic Academy with excellent grades as a senior magician, and through his own efforts, he successfully became the guardian magician of Princess Ariel.
In the timeline when Rudy arrived, in order to protect Princess Ariel, Dilic tried his best to hold back the monster that was teleported into the palace due to the great transfer incident, and eventually died.
The notebook left after Dilic’s death ultimately played a key role in enlightening Ariel, allowing her to finally clarify her own consciousness, gain recognition from the Ankylosaur King Pergius, and ultimately ascend the throne.
In the timeline where Rudy does not exist, Dilic personally persuaded the Ankylosaurus to support Ariel. He was one of the three necessary helpers for Ariel to become queen, and eventually even became prime minister.
So this Dilik is Nathan’s son?
In order to target Arcadia, Darius continued to seize power at home, persecute political enemies, and eventually led Nathan into the conflict zone.
And Nathan’s loyalty to me eventually led to Dilic’s loyalty to me?
Did I trigger a hidden plot?
Rhodes’ expression was a little subtle.
The human god tried to use pawns to persecute Arcadia, but ended up sending talents to strengthen Arcadia for various reasons?
He picked up a future prime minister for free!
Although Dilic is not an immediate combat force worth looking forward to, he is indeed the type that Rhodes needs most in the future!
Rhodes was confident that he could obtain various high-end combat powers by drawing cards, but he was not confident that he could obtain talents with management skills.
After all, in the second dimension, wise people who don’t have any mental problems are rare.
But in the original work, this guy is doomed as soon as he appears. Can he really reach the A-level?
[Answering the host’s questions][Dilic is a necessary factor in guiding Ariel to become king, and Ariel’s becoming king is the key to successfully defeating the human god.][Therefore, Dilic is the key factor in triggering the turning point of the world’s destiny. In terms of importance, he is indeed A, or even A+!]Rhodes finally understood.
Yes, after all, the system’s judgment level does not depend on strength, but on the power of destiny in the character.
But no matter what, he made a lot of money!
024 Rhodes is like a devil, squeezing out their value (please give me flowers and votes) (old version)
“Master, watch your step.”
Rita held Rod’s hand and skillfully walked around an unidentified object.
They were currently walking on a shortcut leading to the Adventurer’s Guild.
Seeing that Rhodes came back to his senses from his thoughts, Rita finally asked the doubts in her heart.
“Though Rita knows that with your strength, the gold coins are worth as much as the stones on the roadside.”
“But aren’t you afraid of attracting unnecessary attention and commotion with such extravagant behavior?”
Rita noticed Rod’s expression and added another sentence.
“Of course, Rita is just trying to understand your decision as a secretary, not questioning it.”
Rhodes raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and instead of answering immediately, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.
“Rita, what is the purpose of attacking a country?”
The intelligent and elegant maid thought for a few seconds and answered rationally.
“Technology, resources, population, and wealth.”
“Very good. Then do you think our village has technology?”
“Murakoku… that’s a true description, but on the surface we really don’t have any technology.”
After all, the plan to mass-produce Valkyrie armor has not yet been officially implemented, and in the eyes of any outsider, Arcadia does not possess any technology worth coveting.
Rhodes casually threw a silver coin to the beggar on the side of the road, waved his hand to refuse the other party’s thanks, and continued to ask.
“So, what about resources?”
“Rita…haven’t found anything yet.”
“population?”
Thinking of the beggars that could be seen everywhere, Rita shook her head regretfully.
“It may have an advantage over villages, but if the population cannot be converted into resources, then the excess population will become a burden.”
Rhodes nodded approvingly.
“Indeed, in all the wars between nations in the conflict zone, even wars to annihilate nations, it is quite rare for them to be fought simply for the purpose of conquering cities and territories.”
“It’s more about destruction and plunder. Ultimately, the productivity suppressed by the big powers is not enough to support the country to feed such a large population.”
“Then the main reason that supports small countries in constantly starting wars is undoubtedly just one: wealth.”
“What do you think if foreign countries knew that I gave all my gold coins to the soldiers and even lived in extreme poverty? If you were the monarch of a foreign country, how would you evaluate me?”
Rita complained bluntly.
“idiot.”
Rhodes didn’t care, but chuckled and continued to ask.
“What if, at this moment, you learned that a large number of soldiers, in twos and threes, were leaving Arcadia, carrying a large amount of wealth?”
Rita suddenly turned her head and stopped, her expression changing as she looked at Rhodes.
A bone-chilling chill surged into her heart. She seemed to see someone’s shadow in Rhodes.
“…I will kill them and take their wealth. After all, those gold coins are enough to drive anyone crazy.”
Rita paused for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.
“And those soldiers, in order to protect their treasures, would fight the enemy desperately, using their lives to consume the country’s potential enemies.”
“That gold coin…is their life-saving money!”
Rita could even imagine the dramatic scene of the soldiers who received the money laughing at Rhodes’s absurdity in private, and then being buried in the wilderness the moment they walked out of the city gate.
By using a disarmament that costs no money and does not cause any disturbance, we can eliminate internal instability factors and use their lives to deplete the enemy’s army.
Those who were unwilling to serve Rhodes loyally were eventually cleverly guided by Rhodes to the same fate of dying for their country.
While killing several birds with one stone, it also made those involved not be wary of him, and might even make them underestimate him, thus relaxing their targeting of Arcadia.
This young Majesty is like a devil, squeezing the value of those fence-sitters to the extreme!
And those people might still be thanking Rhodes for his “kindness” until their death.
“But aren’t you worried that they might defect to other countries and become a fighting force?”
The corners of Rhodes’ mouth curled up coldly.
“For the top management, is it more profitable to kill people and rob them, or is it more reasonable to support them with high salaries?”
“After all, if they can’t offer me the high salary, accepting these guys rashly will cause unrest within the company.”
Rita understood instantly.
If someone really accepted those soldiers, they would unknowingly become Rhodes’ lobbyists and spies.
“For the lower-level soldiers, it’s even simpler. Do you think they would be happy to see someone come and take their position? It would be more cost-effective to kill and rob them the moment they discover them.”
Rita couldn’t help but ask one more question.
“What if those soldiers choose to stay because of the increased pay?”
Rhodes had a playful expression and chuckled.
“My high salary is not for raising pigs. Only high-quality soldiers who meet my requirements can get it.”
“Training, patrolling, clearing out magical beasts, defending against foreign enemies… I have countless tasks to entrust to them.”
“If they can stick around because of the high salary, that’s great. I’m the only one in the conflict zone who can offer such a high salary. They’ll be loyal to me even if it’s just for the sake of profit.”
“If they take the money and don’t do the job, I can use their lives as a warning to others.”
Rhodes’ calm and confident posture seemed to have everything under control.
“Besides…there are no nobles in Arcadia. The only one who can be considered a noble is me, a member of the royal family. On the surface, I gave all my money to the soldiers.”
“If foreign enemies try to plunder our wealth, will they choose me, who has no money, or the soldiers who have money?”
“So the soldiers who stayed behind would risk their lives even to protect their property.”
By the time foreign countries reacted, Rhodes had already passed the initial dangerous period.
By then, there will be no need to use such small tricks, and we will be able to conquer all countries in the world.
Rita was mesmerized by Rod’s eloquent speech.
Rod let go of Rita’s hand and walked out of the alley first.
“However, my series of plans have always had a fatal weakness, but after Rita’s arrival, this weakness became a trap.”
“My personal safety is entirely in your hands, my perfect maid~”
Rita looked at Rhodes’ back, and sighed in her heart that her little master’s PUA skills were improving and he was becoming more and more like a qualified monarch.
But even though she knew this, Rita still leaned forward slightly with a smile on her face, and her beautiful eyes showed determination.
“It’s Rita’s pleasure, my little majesty~”
The two came to an old wooden house.
The building itself is very old, with signs of repairs in every corner and an overall dingy look.
This is the only adventurer’s guild in Arcadia.
025 There are too many clowns, the Blue Knight Moon Soul freezes everything! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
After pushing open the tattered double doors and entering the guild, many eyes were immediately focused on Rhode and Rita.
“Tsk tsk, he’s actually a blind kid.”
“A rookie…?”
“Huh, just come here for fun.”
There was also a man who crossed his legs, whistled arrogantly, and looked down at the two of them in a condescending and presumptuous manner.
“Hey, that woman, are you here to make fun of me? You don’t think that wearing strange clothes makes you a strong person, do you?”
“Adventurers are not the place for you play-house types… Get out of here!”
“Rita.”
Rhodes walked towards the counter with an expressionless face, not even looking at those guys.
“There are too many clowns.”
The faces of the adventurers around turned ashen upon hearing this, as if they had been greatly humiliated, and they roared loudly in anger.
“What did you say, you little brat!”
“Damn it! You weren’t even born when I was killing people!”
Some people simply overturned the table and drew their swords.
“Damn it, it’s time to teach you how to respect your seniors!”
A chilling fighting spirit and murderous intent instantly burst out from Rita’s gorgeous eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“As you command, my master~”
She gently raised her arms, which were as white as tender lotus roots.
Then, the elegant maid clenched her right hand slightly.
A frost-blue sickle slowly appeared in her hand.
——The weapon of the throne of the gods [Skati of Eternal Frost].
It is forged from special soul steel at extremely low temperatures in a superconducting state, just like the magic weapon of the goddess of winter in mythology.
“Huh? Weapons appeared out of thin air?!”
“Hiss…something seems to be wrong.”
“Isn’t he a tough guy?”
At this time, some adventurers had already noticed something was wrong, but for the sake of face, they just bit the bullet and asked everyone to go together.
“Hahahaha, you’re so pretentious, you’re actually using farm tools as weapons!”
“Don’t be scared, let’s all come together and teach them a lesson!”
In his opinion, even if so many people couldn’t defeat that strange woman, they would surely be able to teach her a lesson!
One of the thieves rolled his eyes and rushed towards Rhodes insidiously, trying to kidnap the child who looked the weakest first.
The adventurers were used to provoking seemingly harmless newcomers in the same way they had done in the past.
However, the foolish and ignorant people will never think that they are angering the Shura evil spirits who once fought to the death with the enemies of civilization.
Just before someone swung a dagger ferociously and was about to chop Rhodes’ arm, all the adventurers’ bodies suddenly stopped.
The unique particle flow dispersion system of [Blue Knight·Moon Soul] was instantly activated.
The gauze-wing-like structure behind the Valkyrie armor unfolded, and the released crescent particles instantly filled the entire area!
These particles quickly absorb the heat energy in the environment, turning the surrounding area into an extremely cold prison.
The thrown knife, the falling cutlery, the splattered wine…
Everything in this world has come to a standstill, as if someone has pressed the pause button.
All the elementary particles in the entire world, along with the ether itself, stopped where they are.
This world… is frozen!
The adventurers’ eyes widened in horror.
“Wait, wait… I can’t move!”
“It’s so cold! What’s going on?”
“My feet! My feet are frozen!”
“Damn, that bitch is a magician?!”
“Think of something quickly!!!”
“I…I can’t breathe…”
Rhodes leisurely passed by the thief who was eroded by the cold of death, and sat on the chair in front of the counter under the frightened eyes of the motionless thief.
He looked at the poster girl who was intentionally left alone, reached out to play with the wine glass on the bar, and smiled faintly.
“A pure white world, without any noise, quiet and beautiful. What do you think?”
The poster girl held on to her trembling body, lowered her head in awe and begged.
“Your Majesty… They don’t know who you are…”
The poster girl wanted to beg for mercy for the adventurers, but was interrupted by Rhodes.
“You knew it, but you didn’t stop it, did you?”
The poster girl’s white forehead was covered with sweat, and her muscles were trembling constantly.
All the reasons I had thought of were thrown out of my mind when I came into close contact with this young master who was rumored to be incompetent.
The intuition that had saved her from death countless times reminded her frantically.
If she chose to change the subject or lie, she would be beheaded the next moment!
That terrifying woman was even more powerful than the water god she had ever seen!
Without having time to think about why such a strong man suddenly appeared in Arcadia, the poster girl fell to her knees and begged for forgiveness with tears streaming down her face.
“…It’s, it’s my fault. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. I am willing to make compensation!”
Rhodes used his six eyes to examine the other party’s attitude, confirming that the other party had no resentment of revenge for the time being, and pondered for a moment.
He was unhappy with the other party’s temptation, but if he killed her, he would not be able to find another person associated with the Adventurer’s Guild in a short time.
And even if no one provoked him, he would probably take the initiative to find an opportunity to cause trouble for Rita and make her make a shocking move, just to take the initiative in the next plan.
clang–
Rhodes casually threw a large bag of gold coins in front of the other party.
“I need you to do me a favor. Publish a notice throughout the continent saying I’m recruiting instructors for swordsmanship, magic, spearmanship, and cultural studies. The salary is set at double the market rate, and the more people who come, the better.”
Directly recruiting talents may arouse the vigilance of major powers. However, if the excuse of recruiting teachers is used and the nobles are bribed with money, although it may be a bit of a self-deception, it will ultimately be much smoother.
The other party was a smart man. After a moment’s hesitation, he instantly understood the hidden meaning of Rhodes’s move.
She struggled to think for a moment, gritted her teeth, and raised the bag of gold coins high with both hands.
“I will use my own channels to help Your Majesty. I only ask Your Majesty to forgive my previous offense!”
Rhodes raised his brows slightly, a playful expression appearing on his face.
It’s interesting that instead of staying away, he chose to take the opportunity to join him and take a gamble.
Should I say that he is brave enough or that he has good eyesight?
Rhodes waved his hand.
“You keep that money.”
The other party immediately looked disappointed after hearing this, thinking that he was rejected by Rhodes.
“I, I understand…”
“I don’t lack money, but I lack talented people.”
However, what Rhode said next instantly cheered her up.
“I am willing to serve your majesty!”
026 Collect Magic Crystals and receive the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Rhodes remained calm and gave the order calmly.
“I don’t care what you say, I want to see how you act.”
“The recruitment notice I mentioned earlier should be spread across all continents, including the Demon Continent.”
The poster girl looked miserable and wanted to curse.
Damn, Demon Continent…
An extremely barren, monster-infested, and dangerous gathering place for demons!
Not only are there a large number of demon kings, but it is said that the Demon Emperor who once started the war between humans and demons will also be resurrected in this century.
Furthermore, the terrifying Spelud tribe, which makes children cry, roams the Demon Continent.
How desperate must one be to want to recruit demon teachers for the human king in such a hellish place…
The Majesty in front of me is not only brave, but also full of wonderful ideas.
Rhodes asked the janitor to stand up, handed him a glass of fruit wine, and took a sip with a frown.
“Any questions?”
The poster girl hesitated for a moment and reminded in an imperceptible voice.
“Your Majesty, although the human and demon races have signed a peace treaty, many humans still discriminate against the demons.”
“Among them, the Holy Kingdom of Milis, due to its state religion, demands that the Knights Templar under its command kill any demon they encounter! As long as there is any human involved with the demons, they will do their utmost to treat them as heretics and judge them.”
The poster girl’s eyes revealed deep fear and disgust.
“They are a bunch of crazy believers. Your Majesty is best not to provoke them now.”
“It’s not that I underestimate your majesty’s power, but those lunatics will fight even though they know they can’t win, and they will stubbornly pursue their enemies.”
Rhodes frowned slightly, recalling the geographical location of the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
This country is on another continent adjacent to the Demon Continent.
The Knights Templar were really crazy and wanted to target him. They had to either cross the ocean ruled by the sea people or cross the entire Kingdom of King Dragon. In short, it was almost impossible to do so in the early stage.
Furthermore, Rhode was unwilling to give up his idea just because of their threat.
Among the three major S cards, only Roxy’s position is difficult to determine in the early stage.
He couldn’t guarantee that Lokisi was not in the Demon Continent, so he had to extend his tentacles to create the possibility of contact.
Considering that the human god had the intention to kill Loki in the original work, and now the future has changed because of his arrival, the human god may not let her go.
In order to prevent the human god from targeting Loki’s family and him, Rhodes also had to find out the location in advance and make plans.
“I understand. I have my own solution. Any other questions?”
Seeing that Rhodes had made up his mind, the poster girl quickly shook her head.
“No, no!”
She sighed inwardly, thinking that at worst she could use her connections with the slave traders to get the job done secretly.
I remember there was a noble in the Kingdom of Asura who seemed particularly fond of the Orcs, often going to slave traders to buy Orc slaves at great expense. Perhaps I could have the slave traders who were going to capture the Orcs complete this recruitment mission along the way…
This way, as long as we’re careful, we shouldn’t attract the attention of the Knights Temple.
Rhodes pointed to the scattered mission notices on the bulletin board.
“Secondly, I want to prioritize acquiring a large number of magic tools, magic add-ons, and monster materials. I want them of any kind.”
After a pause, Rhodes emphasized.
“No limit.”
“ah?!!”
The poster girl was shocked instantly.
She even suspected at one point that her ears were broken.
No limit?!
Is there still a way to buy things?
No, Your Majesty, you are such a spendthrift…how much money do you have?!
But what Rhodes was thinking in his heart was.
Although he only needs one piece of any item, he can copy it.
But considering the most efficient use of the magic power in his body every day, it would be best for him to only copy high value-added or extremely rare items.
This way, whether triggering the system collection reward or researching Valkyrie armor, it will be more efficient.
In addition, if a large number of profit-seeking merchants come to Arcadia without fear of death, it will also drive the country’s economic development.
It can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
Anyway, his money is just like the wind blowing from the northwest.
As for the inflation that the Asura Kingdom may face in the future…
This is none of his business.
At worst, he can just move to another country and continue cheating.
But maybe, by that time, he won’t need to continue using this method.
After the poster girl made sure that Rhodes was not joking, she bravely risked being beheaded by Rhodes and persuaded him in a hoarse voice.
“Your Majesty, although you have a lot of gold coins, it is far from enough…”
Rhodes threw five or six bags of gold coins at her in a row, hitting her head and making her dizzy.
“I have plenty of money, but I don’t want too many people to know that I have money.”
The poster girl’s eyes began to become dazed.
No, Your Majesty, do you really still have money?
“Not enough?”
Another seven or eight bags of gold coins.
The poster girl began to feel dazed
“Tsk, not enough?”
“Wait… Enough, enough, enough for now! Your Majesty, stop!”
The poster girl quickly reached out to stop Rhodes, then looked at the bags of gold coins piled on the ground and felt a headache and panic.
She had never seen so much money!
She even suspected that Rhodes had looted the royal treasury of the Asura Kingdom.
But if Arcadia had this strength, it would not have to act so cautiously.
He clearly came in empty-handed, so where did he get the wallet from?
But the reason why the poster girl can survive until now is because of her ability to judge the situation.
She didn’t ask or speculate about those questions. She only knew that after witnessing all this, she had no way out!
The poster girl frowned and thought carefully about Rhode’s order, but soon looked embarrassed.
No matter how you think about it, Rhodes’ request is too fantastical!
Purchasing is not a big deal, as the Adventurer’s Guild has cooperative relationships with many chambers of commerce.
But it is too difficult to hide the source of gold coins and the destination of goods!
It can be said that anyone who is interested can find out the truth with a simple investigation.
Rhodes ignored the distressed look on the poster girl’s face, patted his collar, slowly stood up, and spoke calmly.
“I only need half a year at most.”
The poster girl’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Unknown astonishing wealth, inexplicable peerless masters, and the hidden majesty…
Can you confidently face all enemies’ aggression in just half a year?
Rhodes walked towards the door calmly and said without looking back.
“Whatever you purchase in the name of the Adventurer’s Guild, I will give the Guild a 5% commission.”
“Besides, I’ll give you an extra 1% of the profit.”
“If this doesn’t do what I want, then…”
Rhodes didn’t finish his words, but the poster girl felt a chill in her heart.
“I-I understand!”
She suddenly thought of something and quickly reached out and shouted.
“Wait, Your Majesty, there’s some good stuff in the guild!”
A moment later.
Rhodes squatted in front of the box brought by the image-showing lady and took out a piece of crystal clear crystal out of curiosity.
“This is……”
The system prompt sounded immediately.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the A-level item, Magic Crystal.][Reward: Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal! ]027 Continuous collection will reward you with Invisibility Cloak, Skinning Gloves, and Magic Eye Kill! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Magic crystals are a kind of magic stone in this world. Although they do not have the effect of amplifying magic power and cannot be used to make magic wands, they are essential for using magic tools and large-scale magic!
It is equivalent to the spirit stone in the world of immortal cultivation.
Therefore, although it is not extremely rare, Rhodes recognizes its A-level importance.
However, the system will only recognize this collection once, and there will be no reward for collecting the same item multiple times.
Compared to the improvement of personal strength, magic crystals are more important to the overall development of Arcadia.
To a certain extent, magic crystals can be used as Arcadia’s specialty to anchor the country’s currency, eliminating its dependence on foreign currencies.
This also solves the problem of inflation that may be caused by the mass replication of gold coins in the future.
However, Rhode planned to leave this complicated matter to the omnipotent maid.
Rhodes was more excited about the system’s rewards.
Thunder Dragon Slayer Demon Crystal.
The source of Laxus’s abilities in Fairy Tail!
Not only can the user obtain ancient dragon-slaying magic, but his body will also evolve like a dragon, and his lifespan will be the same as that of the dragon clan, up to ten thousand years!
The long lifespan alone was enough to make Rhodes extremely excited!
The Dragon Slayer has the ability to perform special attacks against dragons, and can also consume various other magics and combine them with the dragon slayer magic in his body to generate new power.
For example, if Natsu eats Laxus’s thunder, he can release the Thunder and Fire Dragon attack!
The mages in the Fairy Tail world are not as fragile as the magicians in the No Job – Job Description world. After becoming a Dragon Slayer Mage, they have damage resistance and output capabilities comparable to that of a dragon!
This Thunder Dragon Slayer Demon Crystal arrives just in time!
This just solves Rhodes’s current weakest points: his body and magic capacity!
Moreover, in the world without a job, there are only four types of magic: earth, fire, water, and wind, and there is no separate system of thunder magic.
He just happened to be the founder and pioneer in this field!
Rhodes smiled with satisfaction and turned to express his approval to the poster girl.
“Very good, you did a good job.”
The poster girl bowed flatteredly.
She had been in a state of terror before, but now Rhodes suddenly treated her tenderly.
She suddenly felt like she was about to cry with emotion.
His Majesty doesn’t seem scary… No, take a closer look, His Majesty is both cute and handsome, and at such a young age he possesses strategies far beyond those of ordinary nobles!
How can there be such a perfect person in this world!
I actually want to test Your Majesty now, I am really damned!
“Huh… I, I’ll keep working hard.”
Rhodes encouraged the poster girl again and used his sword to analyze the magic crystal.
He did not take out the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal for the time being, but continued to pay attention to the magic add-ons brought by the poster girl.
The first magic addition is a cloak.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the C-rank magic add-on item, the Fever Cape!][Reward and Punishment: Invisibility Cloak! ]The poster girl blushed slightly as she explained to Rhodes.
“This is a heat-resistant cloak. It can insulate the wearer from heat and maintain a certain temperature. It’s considered a rare adventuring piece of equipment.”
“It usually sells for three hundred gold coins, but in the Conflict Zone or even the cold northern continent, it can sometimes fetch over a thousand gold coins!”
Rhodes nodded slightly.
“Not bad.”
As for the invisibility cloak awarded by the system, it obviously has the ability to become invisible.
Rhodes plans to combine the materials of these two cloaks and incorporate them into the research and development of the new Valkyrie armor.
At that time, you can avoid cold and heat and become invisible.
After Rhodes finished analyzing the heat cloak, he picked up a pair of gloves.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the C-rank magic add-on, Overwhelming Gloves!]【Reward: Skinning Gloves! 】
The poster girl became more and more relaxed in front of Rhodes and continued to introduce him with a smile.
“The Gloves of Overwhelming can reduce the impact on the palm by half, and they have always been very popular among the vanguard of adventuring teams!”
Impact halved?
That’s actually a good item for a tank.
However, the props rewarded by the system this time made Rhodes more interested.
This incredible equipment comes from Doraemon. Just put it on and you can peel off the skin of anything in a second!
It sounds like some extremely terrifying evil skill.
However, in the original work, Nobita accidentally pressed it on a human, and the result was only to peel off the makeup on the human’s face….
Therefore, he would have to test the practicality of this equipment slowly later.
It might come in handy unexpectedly in a strange place.
The last magic addition in the box is a pair of glasses.
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the A-level magic add-on, Perception Glasses! ]【Reward: Demon Eye Kill! 】
“Your Majesty, do not underestimate these glasses. They give the user a keen sense of danger, allowing them to instantly determine the direction of the enemy’s approach!”
Rhodes picked up the sunglasses-like object and examined it carefully for a moment.
This thing…can it get an A-level rating?
etc…….
It seems a bit like the thing that Richeluffy used when she worked as a guardian magician in the palace in the original work.
Rhodes realized the truth again in an instant.
Well, it is something related to the main plot, no wonder it has such high reviews.
This thing is useless to him who has six eyes, but it can be made into the new Valkyrie armor.
As for the Demonic Eye Killing skill awarded by the system, it solved Rhodes’ biggest problem at the moment.
Mystic Eye Kill is the work of Aozaki Touko, who created the seal in the Type-Moon world. It can not only suppress the user’s own uncontrolled Mystic Eye, but also resist the Mystic Eye activated by outsiders.
With the help of this prop that has been strengthened twice by the system, Rhodes can slowly adjust to the Six Eyes until he can completely control it!
028 Intercept Paul’s weapon and get a Zanpakutō as a reward! (Please give me flowers and votes!) (Old version)
Rhodes put away all the items in front of him with satisfaction, stood up and wanted to pat the office lady’s arm, but the office lady happened to bow, so Rhodes accidentally patted her face.
The poster girl let out an “Ah” and lowered her head shyly, but surprisingly did not resist.
Instead, she trembled and closed her eyes, as if she didn’t dare to resist, but also as if she was expecting something.
Rhodes felt a sharp gaze staring at him from behind.
Damn, he really didn’t mean it!
The only thing on his mind now is his career!
As for matters like having sex with women, no matter how anxious he is, he can only wait until he grows up!
The women in the palace really didn’t care about whether he was punished or not. It was more like they were more excited about this situation. But if he wanted to drive a car, he had to have a driver’s license!
Shit, I wonder if the Dragon Slayer Crystal has any effect on promoting growth.
When the time comes, I will make sure that you, little Rita, dare not tease me anymore!
Rhodes coughed awkwardly.
“By the way, what’s your name?”
The poster girl’s ears turned red. She opened her eyes but didn’t dare to look at Rhodes. She answered with some disappointment.
“Eh? Me, me? My name is Sonya!”
Rhodes took a deep breath and regained his composure.
“Very good, Sonya, you won’t regret your decision today.”
The gains from this trip to the Adventurer’s Guild far exceeded Rhodes’ expectations.
Not only did we finalize the future layout, but we also received many good rewards.
This made Rhodes like the busty girl in front of him more and more.
“If you find something good in the future, it doesn’t have to be precious, as long as it’s unique, let me know and come get it. I’ll reward you.”
Sonya knew that she had finally been recognized by Rhode, and the heavy stone in her heart fell completely. She nodded excitedly.
“I understand, Your Majesty.”
“By the way, a batch of magic scrolls will be delivered to headquarters in seven days. I will use my power to intercept the most precious high-level healing scroll and give it to you!”
Rhodes gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.
Very good, she knows how to fleece her own family to support me, this is the woman I need!
Rhodes was so happy with his collection this time that he was reluctant to leave for a while.
You know, the palace treasury is extremely poor. Apart from some coins left, it is not as rich as the Adventurer’s Guild!
Arcadia is located in the center of the conflict zone, and chambers of commerce from outside rarely come here.
He looked left and right, trying to find new collectibles, but found nothing. He rubbed his hands regretfully and asked again.
“Sonia, are there really no new magic tools or anything good like that?”
Sonya looked at Rhode, who was completely different from his previous cold appearance. She was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but also felt a sense of closeness to him.
“Your Majesty… All the good stuff is here. Magical tools sell like hotcakes in the Conflict Zone, and it’s almost impossible to keep them in stock.”
“Besides, the Adventurer’s Guild is not a Chamber of Commerce after all, and the items it reserves are extremely limited.”
Sonya suddenly thought of something, then frowned and shook her head in self-denial.
“There’s actually a magical item left in the warehouse that the client used to pay for his reward. The previous owner thought it was a treasure and accepted it, but he turned out to be mistaken.”
“The adventurer who completed the commission took one look at it and disliked it because it was too black and the meat couldn’t be cut, so he simply didn’t even want it.”
“That kind of defective product would not be worthy of Your Majesty’s approval.”
Rhodes became interested after hearing this.
“Oh? There’s such a thing?”
“Take me to see it!”
Sonya reluctantly took Rod to the warehouse.
In her opinion, presenting such a thing to His Majesty, who was so perfect, would be a lifelong shame for her.
But Rita knew that her little master would never act without a purpose, so she followed curiously.
She stepped on high heels and controlled her stride precisely, following Rhodes half a step away, not more, not less, just right, as accurate as if measured with a ruler.
Sonya cast glances of admiration and envy from time to time.
After opening the warehouse door, Rhodes quickly noticed the magic tool casually thrown in the corner.
Sonia ran a few steps and wiped off the dust and cobwebs on it with her sleeves, then held it in front of Rhodes with both hands.
“Your Majesty, this is the [Unbreakable] Demonic Sword.”
Rhodes used his six eyes to quietly observe the magic sword for a while, and suddenly chuckled.
“Interesting, indeed.”
“Rita!”
Rhodes grabbed the magic sword and drew it from its sheath, then without looking back, he swung it hard at Rita.
Rita was not surprised, but instead swung Skadi the Eternal Frost and slashed at the magic sword.
When Sonya saw this, she thought Rhodes disliked the magic sword and wanted to destroy it.
After all, that gorgeous sickle looks sharper no matter how you look at it!
Clang—click—
Spots of cold light flashed in the air.
The broken blade fragments brushed past Sonya’s side, spun a few times in the air, and then sank deeply into the floor tiles.
Sonya covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes wide open, thinking she was hallucinating.
“H-How could this happen?!”
Because what was broken was not the magic tool, but the sickle in Rita’s hand!
She never expected that the magic sword that was despised by everyone would become a magical weapon that could cut through iron like mud in Rhodes’ hands!
Rita looked at the broken sickle in her hand silently, and her original contempt for the world gradually subsided.
You know, even in the battle with the Honkai Beast, the weapons of the Throne of the Gods were not damaged to this extent.
Rita walked silently to the broken blade and placed the broken sickle against it.
The self-repairing properties of soul steel quickly restored Rita’s beloved sword to its original state.
But her mood was still not calm.
“Your Majesty, that weapon is very strange.”
Rhodes didn’t show a trace of surprise on his face, as if he had expected this result.
Sure enough, this dagger is the one that Paul picked up more than ten years later in the original work!
A short sword with armor-piercing properties, whose blade becomes sharper the harder the opponent is.
But now he has intercepted it and it has fallen into his hands ahead of time.
“A pearl covered in dust becomes stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent.”
The handle of the knife turned over in his hand, changing the knife into a reverse blade with the blade facing upwards, and Rhodes put it back into the scabbard.
“I want this knife.”
[Congratulations to the host for collecting the B-level weapon, the armor-piercing dagger.][Reward: Zanpakutō: Black Moon Halo! ]029 Bug-level Zanpakuto, Rod’s love for the maid (seeking flowers, seeking votes) (old version)
“I’m back!”
Rhodes walked into the palace hall with a satisfied smile.
Lilia and Charlotte slumped in their chairs, looking exhausted, and they didn’t even have the energy to stand up or say hello.
The two men raised their hands weakly.
“Welcome back, Your Majesty…”
“Master, thank you for your hard work…”
Rita was carrying a large box, walking behind Rhodes, and nodded to Lilia in the hall, asking curiously.
“Senior Lilia, when His Majesty and I entered through the main gate, the guards seemed to be different from the previous ones, and they had become much more respectful and dedicated.”
“It seems that Senior and Miss Charlotte have been working really hard while we were away.”
Charlotte shook her head, puffed up her face, and glanced at Rhodes resentfully.
“Assassination, suppression, and appeasement aren’t actually that hard.”
“Whether intentionally or unintentionally, no one on the list has a chance to resist.”
“but……”
Lilya also rarely showed her temper and wanted to act coquettishly towards Rhodes.
“But we’re both exhausted from cleaning, counting, transporting, and storing the mountain of gold coins Your Majesty created.”
As the saying goes, pretending to be cool is fun for a while, but it will be a disaster in the long run.
Rhode paused awkwardly, then quickly stepped forward to touch Lilia’s head, then rubbed Charlotte’s hand, trying to calm the two girls down.
“Okay, okay, it’s my fault.”
A look of joy flashed across Lilia’s eyes. She immediately stood up with full energy, stretched, and punched herself to cheer herself up.
“Hehe, your majesty, your energy has been replenished! Re-entering head maid mode!”
Rhode couldn’t help laughing as he watched Lilya becoming more and more lively.
Perhaps Lilia will never again become the maid in the original work who suppressed her entire personality.
It was fine this way. Rita was enough as the only nasty maid who would stare at him with cold disdain.
As for Lilia, let her live happily forever.
Charlotte took Rhodes’ hand, pressed it against her head, and nodded with her eyes narrowed.
“It’s so comfortable… I feel like I’m being cared for by my dad.”
Rhodes rubbed it and complained helplessly.
“I’m the child in this room.”
It’s tiring enough to act like an emperor outside, and now I have to take care of two little fools when I get home.
There were three girls in the room, two of them had psychological problems.
When all is said and done, Rita, who likes to cosplay as a maid, is actually the most normal.
After everyone had a brief laugh, Lilia asked Rita what she had gained from her trip.
Harvest?
Rita thought of the unstoppable power of the long sword that Rhodes suddenly conjured up, which even made her unable to do anything with it even when she used all her strength.
Although I don’t know where His Majesty got it from, but just counting that knife, it is a top-notch gain on this trip.
Rita did not mention this in public, but just patted the box in her hand and said it mysteriously.
“Your Majesty’s plan is going very smoothly. He will give you a surprise anyway.”
“What about you guys? Did you encounter any difficulties?”
Charlotte had a vague understanding of her Master’s character, so she spread her hands and spoke frankly.
“The palace is down two-thirds of its staff, and there’s a serious shortage of menial workers and the like.”
Rhodes had already made plans after hearing this.
“I will arrange for long-term recruitment and personally screen reliable individuals. However, in the short term, I will be replicating mechanical dogs to assist the maids in their work.”
Rita rolled her eyes helplessly and complained mercilessly.
“You’re probably the only one who can use a battlefield hunting suit like the Carbon Hunter as a robot vacuum cleaner.”
Lilia’s eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to raise her concerns.
“Great! Rita’s robot dog is so powerful, and it can also help with the defense of the palace!”
“However, the position of Chief of the Palace Guards has become vacant, which will cause a gap in the guards’ coordination!”
“Therefore, Your Majesty, please find a reliable candidate as soon as possible.”
Rhodes jumped onto the chair, leaned back, pinched his brows and sighed.
“What a talent…”
He stole a glance at Rita.
“My all-powerful maid…”
The polite smile on Rita’s face disappeared in an instant, and the elegant and calm temperament she had always displayed was almost broken.
“Your Majesty, I will be redesigning new armor based on your collection, programming soul steel into computers, planning urban development, adjusting government agencies, and sorting out legal loopholes…”
Rita counted the large number of pots that Rod threw at her and said that animals should not be used like this.
“Your poor little maid, who is overwhelmed by the workload, strongly demands to have some free time on weekends to rest and drink tea, refusing to work overtime!”
While saying soothing words like “Oh, it’s not dead”, Rhodes seriously stated that he was a very considerate boss.
“I never ask my lovely maid to work overtime. I will only assign you a task on Friday and then tell you to have a good rest over the weekend. There is no rush to work. Just show it to me before work on Monday.”
When Rita heard this, she felt her blood pressure soar instantly. She squinted her eyes and asked with a very kind smile.
“Hehe, what did you just say? Rita didn’t hear it clearly.”
“Forehead…….”
Lilia looked at Rita and Rhodes. Although both of them had smiles on their faces, the atmosphere felt a little weird.
“Um…what do you mean by weekend?”
Rhodes was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his forehead and reacted.
Yes, although this world has the Ankylosaur Calendar named after the Ankylosaur King, it does not have the concept of weeks.
“How about this? Let’s set today as Monday, and every seven days is a week. Saturday and Sunday are defined as rest days.”
In the future, their lives will be quite long, and there will be no need to treat humans like cattle and horses as they did in their previous lives.
He was just joking with Rita just now, and Rhode naturally didn’t want the girls who were loyal to him to suffer so much.
“Lilia, you’ll be responsible for establishing the shift system. Once we have enough staff, we’ll officially start implementing it.”
Lilia wanted to refuse and say that they didn’t need it, but the King’s order was absolute.
So, Lilia renamed the two rest days as Thanksgiving Days in her heart, intending that all those who benefited from them would thank His Majesty for his kindness.
In this way, the custom of having a weekend off was born in the royal palace of one of the most inconspicuous small countries in the world.
No one knew that this etiquette of a wise king, which was praised as great and needed no further explanation, originated from Rhodes’s ridiculous favor for his own maid.
030 Stepping into the mythical beasts, Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic! (Please give me flowers and votes!) (Old version)
After dinner, Charlotte wanted to leave immediately to carry out Rhodes’s loli kidnapping mission, but was stopped by Rhodes.
He planned to let Charlotte wear the armor and leave after the prototype of the Valkyrie armor was completed, which would be safer.
In the dormitory in the evening.
Rhodes held the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal tightly in his right hand, and the ether gathered in the palm of his left hand like a whirlpool!
Parse and copy!
A moment later, a new Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal was born!
“call…….”
Rhodes wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, feeling a little tired.
“I almost couldn’t reproduce it in one go…”
The more powerful the item, the more Ether is required to copy it.
Rhodes also tried to directly copy the magic crystals, and then use the copied magic crystals to absorb magic power, and then continue to nest dolls to achieve a perpetual motion machine.
But unfortunately, there is energy loss in the process of Zhao Daozhen copying the magic crystals, and the ether conversion rate cannot reach 100% for the time being.
Therefore, unless you purchase ready-made magic crystals from the outside world, using this method will only result in greater losses.
“Well, now let me experience what kind of improvement this magic crystal can bring to me!”
Rhodes no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and swallowed the magic crystal in one gulp.
“Boom!!!”
The sky suddenly darkened and was covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain was about to come.
Flashing golden lightning exploded, and Rhodes’ hair fluttered wildly without wind. The whole person slowly rose from the room and flew out of the window, straight into the sky!
Floating above the clouds, Rhodes’ closed eyes suddenly opened, and endless thunder exploded in his eyes, and countless lightning flashed!
The magic power in the body rises rapidly!
The surging power of Thunder Dragon King Alexion flowed through his limbs and bones, almost bursting him!
However, the particle-level ether manipulation ability bestowed by the Six Eyes instantly utilized all the energy contained in the magic crystal without leaving a drop!
Rhodes roared happily towards the sky.
“Cool–!!!”
At this moment, he seemed to raise his hand to summon divine thunder, and with just one strike, he could completely destroy Elseran below.
The red dragons living in the Red Dragon Mountains fled in panic, rolling down the mountain with their tails between their legs, and even the courage to flap their wings and fly was gone.
In the eyes of humans, they are an irresistible natural disaster, but they understand better who is the powerful enemy that absolutely cannot be provoked!
In the conflict zone surrounded by the Red Dragon Mountains, a natural enemy that even the dragon clan could hardly resist was born!
Magic capacity increased tenfold!
Magic power recovery speed increased a hundredfold!
All aspects of physical ability have been improved by an order of magnitude!
As his abilities continue to develop in the future, his magical talent can even be improved!
From today onwards.
Harness the divine punishment and transform into thunder.
Rhodes has already stepped into the world of fantasy!
Deafening thunder roared, and dense flashes of lightning illuminated the palace completely from time to time.
“Hey hey hey!!!”
“What’s going on? Is there going to be a heavy rainstorm tonight?!”
Lilia hurriedly led a group of timid little maids to close the doors and windows of the palace.
Rita stopped and looked at the sky outside the window, her wine-red eyes showing both relief and melancholy.
“Your Majesty, you have become stronger again.”
Charlotte placed her hands on her stomach, a pleased smile on her face.
“Isn’t this good?”
Rita remained silent, and the fake smile she usually wore was gone from her face.
“Your Majesty, it feels like you’re being chased by something. There’s a sense of urgency we can’t understand.”
After leaving the Adventurer’s Guild, Rita and Rhodes found a remote place to fight, just to test the new weapon Rhodes obtained.
After racking her brains and failing to break through Rhodes’ defense, she suddenly realized something.
Rhodes’ growth will leave everyone far behind at a speed no one can imagine.
One day, she herself would no longer be qualified to stand beside Rhodes.
The time she spent as a personal maid protecting the young king passed in a flash.
Soon Rod no longer needed to be protected.
His growth is totally incomprehensible.
Even if Rhodes becomes a real god one day, Rita won’t be surprised.
If Rhodes is a king who pursues power, then Rita has no psychological pressure and can only watch everything with a smile.
But Rhodes is actually a very sentimental guy who values friendship and loyalty.
Just like the poster girl Sonya, when she was a stranger, Rhode could cold-bloodedly and cruelly decide to kill her.
However, after she pledged allegiance to Rhodes, he subconsciously became concerned about her safety and would do everything he could to prevent her from carrying out overly dangerous plans.
Even though Sonya wanted to do something big for Rhode, he rejected them all.
So Rita concluded that Rhodes would subconsciously slow down his pace for the sake of the people around him.
Rita was very happy that she would become Rhodes’ bond, but she also knew very well that she was not the one who could truly stand shoulder to shoulder with Rhodes.
“Charlotte, do you think Rhodes is an outstanding monarch?”
Charlotte answered without hesitation and with great certainty.
“Although His Majesty is still very young, I am absolutely certain of this one thing: he will become the most outstanding and wise king!”
031 Rita’s disappointment, Gileno appears in Arcadia? (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Rita asked a question that made Charlotte quite embarrassed.
“So, will you be loyal to him because he is wise, or because he is Rhodes?”
“I…….”
Charlotte was indeed speechless, not knowing how to respond for a moment, and lowered her head in frustration.
“I have no idea.”
This question made her confused at the moment.
She hated tyrants the most during her lifetime, so she was willing to assassinate them for the sake of her country and finally died heroically.
But she didn’t choose to follow Rhodes just because of his identity as King.
Charlotte didn’t dislike the relaxed feeling when she was with Rhodes, and she secretly enjoyed his concern for her.
Because of this, she became confused about her feelings.
Rita smiled and patted Charlotte’s shoulder, giving her a playful wink.
“Don’t worry, you have a lot of time to think about this.”
“Anyway, that bad guy will never let a beautiful woman like you leave no matter what~”
However, Charlotte thinks Rhodes is wise, probably because of his friendly attitude towards the people.
But Rita saw it more clearly than Charlotte.
The reason why Rhodes was “wise” was purely because such rule was more convenient.
He is not self-denying, but disdainful.
His desires could not be satisfied by exploiting the common people, so he simply did not do the traditional things that the nobles did.
However…
Rita sighed in her heart.
Rhode is much greedier than those nobles…
Demanding absolute perfection, chasing a future where no one gets hurt, and arriving at a happy world where everyone is laughing and having fun.
Such arrogant thoughts can lead people to extremes.
I hope someone in the future will be able to tolerate and shoulder the heavy burden of Rhode’s greed…
“Come to think of it, I heard that Charlotte’s situation is different from mine. She was summoned as a Heroic Spirit through some kind of summoning ritual?”
Charlotte came out of her trance and answered blankly.
“Ah, ah, that’s right. However, I’m not being summoned as a Servant now, but as a Heroic Spirit.”
“Although the spiritual base is assassin, it can also be considered a state of solitary manifestation.”
“Then is there a way to use that ritual, using me as a medium, to summon my colleagues who are related to me?”
Charlotte smiled wryly and shook her head.
“Um, sorry. I’m not good at that level of magic, and the summoning ritual also requires the Holy Grail.”
“And even if we really start that ritual, we won’t be able to summon people from another world.”
Rita sighed regretfully.
“That’s right… I thought if I could summon Theresa, she’d definitely enjoy this never-ending work.”
Charlotte’s eyelids twitched slightly, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
She originally thought Rita wanted to use this ceremony to meet her deceased comrades, but it turned out that she wanted to trick her colleagues into working overtime!
Ms. Rita is really a wonderful person…
Rita ended the topic and chose to say goodbye to Charlotte, but no one knew what she was thinking.
Back in her room, Rita lit the oil lamp and leaned over the table to sort out the list of soldiers submitted by Nathan.
Among the priorities, ensuring the loyalty and stability of the violent agencies is undoubtedly the top priority.
Instead of letting her mind wander, Rita was more focused on what she could do for Rhodes.
“Name, age, strength, time in the army, family background, battlefield achievements…even personal evaluation.”
“Tsk tsk, such a detailed document could never have been prepared on the spur of the moment.”
Rita flipped through the documents, tucked her bangs behind her ears, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked a little surprised.
“That guy named Nathan looks like a fool, but he turns out to be a smart guy.”
Rita would naturally not follow Nathan’s advice completely, but she would do a preliminary screening based on the documents, and then conduct a private investigation to finally determine the talents worthy of promotion.
“His Majesty should have had enough fun by now. I hope he doesn’t forget to pay the soldiers…otherwise, it will be a headache.”
While Rita was quickly eliminating some unqualified guys, she couldn’t help but think about Rhodes who was not here.
Suddenly, Rita’s hand paused, and she picked up a special document, her eyes fixed slightly.
“Hmm? This document… a soldier’s enlistment application form.”
This document, dated three months ago, is the only application to join the military.
Rita learned that it was the time when the former king led his army to war and a great war was about to begin.
At that time, all the able-bodied soldiers who could be recruited in the country had theoretically already set out with the army.
“Strange, knowing you’ll die, yet you still choose to join the army?”
However, this rare application to join the army was rejected by his supervisor at the time.
“The reason is… the orcs are unreliable and the salary they ask for is too high?”
Rita frowned slightly, turned her head and looked through the pile of documents for a long time, and sure enough, she found the second application for enlistment.
This document was published half a month ago.
That was the time when the previous king died in battle and the army’s morale was low.
When the rich and powerful people in Arcadia were busy escaping, he actually chose to join the army again?
This time, the other party only asked for food and accommodation.
But this time the guy was rejected by the second supervisor.
“The reason is… all the demons deserve to die.”
Rita felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.
She had heard Rhodes mention the demons in this world.
This world was originally ruled by humans. In theory, the dragons, demons, sea creatures, celestial races and other alien races in this world are all invaders.
Their homeland fell apart due to the conspiracy of humans and gods, and they were eventually forced to enter the human world to survive, thus starting a war with humans.
Among them, the battles between the demons and humans were the most numerous, and the hatred between the two sides was the deepest, but the human race basically always had the upper hand.
However, the demons are not a single race, but a community of interests formed by multiple different races.
As the war progressed, the personnel composition of the demon side was no longer just the original demons, but even included some humans who had escaped from the persecution of the nobles of the human country themselves.
Nowadays, the term “demon clan” is more like a hat used to easily frame political enemies.
Rod had explained this to Rita.
There are demons who absolutely cannot coexist peacefully, but there are also some who are simpler than humans, so we can’t generalize.
At the back of this application form, Nathan seemed unable to resist speaking up for the injustice and wrote a comment.
“…According to rumors, the then-supervisor intended to make a quick buck and run away, but because the man didn’t hand over the 1,000 gold coins, he became angry and refused to enlist.”
Rita’s eyes were cold, and she clenched the documents slightly. In her heart, she had already sentenced this supervisor to death.
Nathan’s advice was heartfelt.
“Although I’ve never seen this beastman in action, he’s at least a superior swordsman. I hope Your Majesty will not discriminate based on race and will recruit talented individuals into your fold.”
“But I haven’t seen him in a long time. Perhaps he left in disappointment.”
Perhaps Nathan wrote this comment out of a sense of justice, hoping that the new king could change the country. In fact, he had no intention of keeping the other party.
After all, this beastman’s phenomenon is most likely not an isolated case.
Rita saw the only accurate information about the beastman at the end of the document.
“This beastman’s name is…Kilenu?”
032 Permanent No Limit! Collect the Sealed Boundary and Reward Card Magic! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
In the dark suburbs, a flash of lightning flashed.
Rhodes stretched lazily.
“That was a close call, luckily I made it in time…”
Just a while ago, Rhodes suddenly remembered that he had to give money to the veterans, and hurriedly turned into a bolt of lightning that fell from the sky and struck directly on the training ground.
The veterans, who had been getting impatient and even questioning the situation due to the waiting, suddenly widened their eyes in horror.
The training ground seemed to have suffered an earthquake-like impact, and the flat floor tiles were shattered into pieces.
The soldiers almost thought they were under attack.
Fortunately, Nathan saw who was coming in time, and immediately knelt on one knee and shouted “Welcome, Your Majesty”.
After the soldiers realized what was happening, they also knelt down and shouted excitedly.
The original distrust of the country’s precarious situation disappeared in an instant after witnessing the young master’s terrible methods.
That is the power incarnated as thunder!
They had never heard of anyone possessing such a terrifying ability!
What’s more, their young master is only five years old but has such power.
Doesn’t that mean that the future is promising and the country will surely prosper!
After Rhodes handed the gold coins to them one by one with a faint smile, the soldiers’ high spirits reached the peak!
In short, because of the shock of Rhodes’ incarnation of thunder and the incentive of gold coins, those veterans have already acknowledged from the bottom of their hearts and decided to fight for him.
“This should improve the country’s stability… but I don’t know when to stop.”
Rhodes pushed the magic eye on his nose, pinched his chin and muttered to himself.
“It would be great if I could summon a reliable general someday. I could unify the conflicted areas and then conquer the three major kingdoms. Just thinking about it makes me tired.”
Although it was nice to be looked at with admiration by the soldiers, Rhodes was ultimately not the type to eat, live and build good relationships with them.
It would be better to say that he is a complete hedonist, and everything he is doing now is just the necessary preparation before enjoying himself.
Ever since he learned the skill of “Leave the work to that damn Rita”, he wanted more and more to summon more cattle and horses.
Rhodes stopped and observed his shadow in the moonlight, feeling a little suspicious.
“By the way, have I grown a little taller…”
The effect of the Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal is not a one-time effect.
It continued to transform Rhodes’ body.
However, just considering the surge in magic power and recovery, the improvement in his combat power is exponential.
Even if he now activates the [Power of Stop] around the clock, the ether automatically absorbed by his body can almost reach a balance with the consumption!
In today’s world, only a few skills such as sealing and exiling can work on him.
Even if the Loan King Sukuna showed up and delivered a world-severing strike, it would be ineffective against Rhodes now.
Rhodes was quite satisfied with the Zanpakuto he obtained.
He is now itching to fight because of the sudden increase in strength. He wants to find a monster to beat up and fully confirm his abilities.
But if Lilia knew about this idea, she would definitely give me a scolding angrily.
Rita will definitely ask for protection.
The maid who looks cold and scheming will become nagging at times like this.
Rhodes simply did not return to the palace immediately, but chose to go to the suburbs alone.
“But why can’t I find any monsters at all in the middle of the night? Is it because it needs to rest, or was it scared away by me?”
Rhodes used his Zanpakutō to randomly chop at the weeds taller than a man, and moved forward in the direction where he sensed the most concentrated magic power. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered a ruin.
“Huh? What is that? Is there such a place near the capital?”
There are broken walls and wild vegetation everywhere.
From the outside, it looks like an abandoned courtyard.
There is a huge circular stone formation in the middle of the courtyard, surrounding a statue.
The tall statue had a pair of devil horns and grinned with jagged teeth, arrogantly mocking all those who were its enemies, with its feet raised high as if to step on someone.
Even though they were dozens of meters apart, one could still feel the murderous intent emanating from the statue.
Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling happy.
“Hey, looks like I found something fun~”
In the vision of the six eyes, the ether of the entire area was constantly absorbed into a translucent dome, with only inflow and no outflow.
It’s obviously a hidden sealing barrier.
Carrying his Zanpakuto, Rhodes walked to the dome in a carefree manner and placed his right hand on it curiously.
“Analysis!”
A long list of extremely complex magical theories flooded into Rhodes’s mind.
[Congratulations to the host for mastering the A-level sealing barrier.][Reward: Card Magic (Space Seal)! ]Rhodes shook his head, feeling the new knowledge in his mind, and was a little surprised.
“Huh? It’s actually A-level. Looks like there’s a formidable creature sealed inside.”
“But it’s a bit strange… Since it was collected by the system, it means that this seal is closely related to the main storyline.”
He carefully examined the demon depicted in the statue, but he still couldn’t remember such a creature in Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World.
033 The Corrupted Sage Guval is unsealed. Is there Fulilian in this world? (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
The person who set up this barrier had a very high level of magical attainment.
If it is not destroyed by external forces, this barrier can even maintain itself for nearly ten years!
The seal is also set to be able to be broken only when a specific magic power is recognized.
Even if one learns the same kind of magic, it is almost impossible to break it.
Even if one wanted to break it open directly with brute force, according to Rhodes’s calculations, it would require at least a god-level magician to do it!
“Tsk, what an absurdly powerful barrier… I wonder who left this behind.”
Rhodes couldn’t help but feel curious about the magician who had created this seal.
However, since such a careful seal was left behind, it also shows how cautious that person is about the thing inside.
To be on the safe side, Rhodes thought it would be best to continue maintaining this seal.
The appearance of such a strange thing near the royal capital made him feel quite uncomfortable.
“not to mention……”
Rhodes had lingering doubts in his heart.
“From what I’ve observed with my six eyes, the guy sealed in the statue doesn’t seem to be someone I can’t deal with… That’s a bit strange…”
Rhodes glanced sideways slightly, his gaze lingering on the Zanpakuto in his left hand for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
Done!
As a king, how could he allow someone beyond his control to exist at such a close distance?
Six eyes with no limits + Thunder Dragon Slayer Magic + Zanpakuto.
If they are not brave enough to draw their swords against a mere demon with this kind of configuration, how will they fight against the Dragon God, Human God and the others in the future!
His character is cautious, but not cowardly without courage!
Rhodes carefully took out a glove from his pocket and put it on his right hand, then slowly reached towards the barrier.
“Generally speaking, there is almost no way to easily break this barrier.”
“But, I happen to have a tool that’s even more outrageous than the barrier.”
Those are the skinning gloves you got as a reward earlier!
Theoretically, the outermost skin of any existence can be peeled off instantly.
The concept of this layer of skin naturally includes the [Sealing Barrier]!
The moment the skinning gloves touched the barrier.
Something shattered like glass.
Next second.
boom–
The huge roar dominated the heaven and earth!
The broken wall that was penetrated instantly turned into pieces of rubble, and the dust that was stirred up formed a terrifying hurricane, while at the same time, magical power burst out into the sky!
“Ah—damn Fulilian!!!”
“Hahahahahaha, you didn’t expect that there would actually be an idiot who would take the initiative to remove my seal!”
The demon grinned with its bloody mouth full of fangs and glanced at the young Rhodes with disdain.
Weak, young, and complete garbage.
“Hey, you worm. I don’t know how you did it, but to thank you, I’ll kill you with the same move that killed tens of thousands of your compatriots!”
Rhodes’ eyes widened in shock.
He heard a name he shouldn’t have heard!
A dark beam of light shot out from the devil’s fingertips, and was about to pierce Rhodes’ heart in an instant!
The demon didn’t even look at Rhodes.
In his understanding, no existence can withstand such an attack.
The demon jumped to the top of the tree, staring at the city of Elseran in front of him with bloodshot eyes, took a deep breath, and licked the corner of his mouth.
“It’s such a mouth-watering smell… Woman or child… Which one should we eat first?”
“After I’m full, I’ll find you and tear you into pieces, Fulilian!”
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
The demons laughed wildly and crazily.
“Hey, this is the second time I’ve heard you mention the name Fulilian. Is she someone you know? Yes…”
The demon’s laughter stopped abruptly.
A doubtful voice came from the boy above his head.
The bug that he thought he could kill with a casual blow had actually sat cross-legged on his head, looking down at him teasingly!
My killing magic should have hit him accurately!
How could this little brat possibly survive!
Rhodes held a long-handled double-edged sword, supported his chin with his right hand and blinked, ignoring the demon’s eyes that gradually became ferocious due to anger and humiliation.
“Hey, can you introduce her to me?”
The demon’s face became ferocious and terrifying.
“Very well, human. I will make you regret not dying just now!”
“——Marura!”
The Holy Kingdom of Milis.
Somewhere in a remote forest.
The confused elf who was still lying in bed was suddenly awakened from his sleep and fell to the ground with a “thump”.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… No, now is not the time to be lazy!”
Without time to wash up, the elf quickly changed his clothes and got up from the ground.
She stuffed a bunch of random things like spare clothes, suspicious potions, and magic notes into the suitcase.
The elf was carrying a suitcase, turned around and was about to kick the door open, but missed and almost fell.
The girl with purple hair and purple eyes narrowly avoided the elf’s attack, and a drop of cold sweat ran down her forehead.
She pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Lady Fulilian, what are you going to do today?”
Fulilian covered her waist which was almost sprained.
“It’s Philen. Tell Haita that I have to leave now because of an emergency.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an old monk walked out of another room with a cane.
“Ahem, Flillian, what happened?”
Seeing that she couldn’t leave without explaining herself clearly, Fulilian sighed and looked confused.
“The seal has been broken.”
“Well, it’s not a big deal. About sixty, no, maybe seventy years ago. Anyway, I can’t remember exactly, but when we set out to defeat the Demon King, we sealed away a great demon.”
At first, Haita teased as usual, “Flillian’s sense of time is really indifferent,” but he stopped laughing after hearing the second half of Flillian’s words.
He could barely catch his breath, and his face flushed crimson.
“What?! Cough cough cough cough……”
Phelan trotted nervously to Haita’s side.
“Lord Haita, your body…”
Haita took out the potion from his pocket with trembling hands and drank it. It took him a long time to recover.
“Phelan, don’t worry about me.”
He waved his hand, gave a forced smile, and looked at Fulilian with a serious expression.
“It’s just…Flillian, are you talking about that Guval?”
Philen was a smart kid, and seeing that Haita didn’t want to talk more about his illness, he chose to change the subject.
“Who is Guval…?”
034 Guval’s murderous magic, the coming Fulilian (seeking flowers and votes) (old version)
Fulilian was silent for a few seconds, recalling the scene when they had just set out to defeat the Demon King.
At that time, there was a demon king in the Demon Continent who was so powerful that he almost dominated the top of the demon clan.
He wanted to understand humans better than any other demon, and he spent thousands of years to come to a conclusion.
——It is impossible for humans to accept demons.
Hostility, surveillance, suppression, exclusion, and discrimination.
Humans are smarter than demons, so they will use all means to kill demons.
If this continues, sooner or later, without anyone noticing, the demons will completely disappear from this world.
In order to save his own people, the Demon King resolutely decided to start a war again to fight for the right of the demons to live freely.
The powerful blond demon king used his charm to recruit more than 100,000 demon troops, and came with great momentum, shouting the slogan “Make the demons great again”.
Even the other demon kings on the Demon Continent who usually advocated peaceful coexistence with humans chose to remain silent at this time, neither supporting nor opposing.
Fulilian could understand the other party’s actions, but that didn’t stop her from hating the demons.
Because the reason why most demons choose to learn from humans is just to lower their vigilance so that they can eat them more easily.
There might be some demons who truly want to make friends with humans.
However, the cost of determining whether the other party is sincere is too high, so it is more convenient to just kill them.
From the perspective of the demons, this concept may be a bit unfair, but there is nothing that can be done about it.
Perhaps humans and demons simply cannot live in the same world.
However, when the news came, the three most powerful countries in the world faced the devil’s attack, and their first reaction was not to send troops to resist, but to blame each other and be wary of each other.
It seems that compared to the Demon King, the human kingdom is their biggest enemy.
The kings did not want their country to suffer losses and be invaded by the enemy, but they were also worried about the huge military expenses that might be spent, so they hoped to recruit volunteer teams of brave men to go and fight.
After all, in the eyes of those nobles, as long as they use the excuse of justice, they can drive countless fools to die one after another.
This is much more cost-effective than spending a lot of money to send one’s own army.
When Fulilian was found by the brave warrior Sinmel and his group, she initially did not want to leave her retreat and decisively rejected their invitation.
But for various reasons, Fulilian finally embarked on the journey with them.
The dramatic result was that less than three years after they set out with high ambitions, the news that the Demon King had been killed reached their ears.
It is said that a huge sword fell from the sky and nailed the devil to the seat.
The great demons under the Demon King’s throne were instantly terrified and fell into chaos.
They argued endlessly with each other, refused to give in to each other, and even fought.
In the end, the war ended in nothing.
Everyone in the brave team looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and held the last banquet.
The brave team, having lost its meaning of existence, disbanded and went their separate ways.
However, thanks to this experience, Fulilian has maintained a close but not distant relationship with her teammates over the years.
The corrupted sage Guval was one of the few great demons that their brave team had actually dealt with since they set out.
Haita’s expression also seemed a little gloomy, thinking of bad memories.
“Guval is under the command of the Demon King. Although he is not one of the elite Seven Collapse Sages, his strength is not inferior to theirs.”
Fulilian also spoke reluctantly.
“That guy is one of the best magicians in the Demon King’s army. He developed a killing magic that can penetrate all magical defenses and directly destroy the human body.”
“That kind of magic can ignore all defensive magic and items. The only outcome for humans facing it is defeat.”
“With this move, that guy killed countless people. At that time, no one could resist him.”
Philen’s eyes widened and she anxiously pinched the hem of her skirt.
“Even Lord Haita and Lady Fulilian can’t do anything about it?”
Haita and Fulilian looked at each other without saying a word.
Philen seemed to think of the scene where the demons would revive and rivers of blood would flow, and he was very worried.
“No one can resist…”
“Now that he’s been unsealed, is it possible that he’ll…hurt more people again?!”
“Is there no way at all?!”
Fulilian turned her head away and pouted.
“We were immature at the time, so we could only seal it away.”
“According to my calculations, that guy’s seal could last for another ten years.”
Thinking of this, Fulilian felt a little dissatisfied.
“Damn it… who is this great magician who was able to break my magic? I’m going to demand an explanation from him when I see him!”
Philen stamped his foot angrily and glared at Fulilian.
“Lady Fulilian, now is not the time to worry about this!”
Haita glanced at the worried Philen and sighed softly.
“Flillian, take Philen with you.”
“If possible, I hope you can teach her magic.”
“The situation in the country is so dangerous that I can’t even understand it. The conflict between the current Archbishop and the Knights Templar is becoming increasingly acute. I’m no longer safe here.”
Fulilian shook her head decisively without even thinking.
“Eh? No, I don’t want to carry a burden with me.”
“Besides, I have to get there as soon as possible.”
Although Philen wanted to say that it would be too late even if he rushed over now, he simply kept silent because he couldn’t think of a better way.
Although Philen was reluctant to leave Haita, she was precocious and had already realized it.
As for the idea of staying with Fulilian, she actually had no objection.
Haita had anticipated Fulilian’s reaction and smiled as he took out the chips he had prepared long ago.
“Even if you go there at your fastest speed now, it will take at least half a year.”
“But, I happen to know of a sealed teleportation magic circle…”
Fulilian looked at the complacent Haita in surprise, and her expression immediately became conflicted.
“You actually have such a hidden trick up your sleeve.”
After considering for a moment, Fulilian finally chose to agree to Haita’s request and said unhappily.
“Damn it, you really tricked me, you drunken monk!”
Haita bowed deeply.
“Thank you for agreeing to my last request, Fulilian.”
Fulilian looked at Haita’s hunched figure and gray hair and remained silent for a long time.
“Anyway, I seem to have an agreement with someone in that country to teach magic.”
“For me, there’s not much difference between teaching one and teaching two.”
“But don’t blame me if Philen can’t learn it.”
Haita rose and smiled with relief.
“Flillian, you’re still the same as before.”
“Time is running out, let’s go now.”
035 Zanpakuto Mo Yueyun’s invincible ability makes Guwal so angry that he breaks his defense! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Boom boom boom boom——
The sudden appearance of demonic flames flickered in the forest.
As the demonic flames dissipated, bursts of blazing flames, accompanied by an impact that was enough to destroy everything, turned into a loud noise that made people’s hearts shrink!
Rhodes jumped out of the smoke and dust, his scattered black hair was blown by the wind, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
The one-sided chase lasted for a while.
Rhodes ignored the roar of the demons behind him and did not fight with them. He kept jumping back and forth at the top of the forest.
The young master was chased by the ferocious demons and had no way to go to heaven or to the earth.
——Of course this is impossible.
“Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!”
Guval raised his voice and yelled madly.
“Why, my killing magic can’t kill you!!!”
Rhodes deftly challenged his posture in the air, twirling the double-edged Zanpakuto in his hand, and lightly blocked the opponent’s attack for the dozens of times, then landed gracefully.
“Is there a possibility that you are too weak?”
The battle-hardened demons went into extreme madness because their defenses were broken, and their ferocious faces were filled with anger of being despised.
Guval landed in front of Rhodes with a loud bang. As a monster, his tall appearance was quite oppressive.
“You damned human…have you finally had enough of the escape game?”
Rhodes twirled the Zanpakutō in his hand listlessly, then stood there naturally and lazily.
“Yeah, at this distance, I shouldn’t wake up my lovely maids.”
The veins on Guval’s forehead bulged and his fists stiffened.
“What?”
“Is this the reason you’ve been running away for so long?”
Rhodes asked back as a matter of course.
“My lovely maids work so hard for me during the day, and it’s so pitiful that they finally fall asleep at night and are woken up by the strange roar of wild beasts.”
Guwal laughed angrily, snorting white hot air and snorting.
“Are you kidding me? Are you looking down on me?”
Instead, Rhodes glared at Guwal in dissatisfaction.
“You are the one who should not underestimate the work of a maid!”
“Damn…”
Guwal was so angry that his blood pressure soared.
He swore that in his countless battles with humans, he had seen brave and fearless warriors, as well as cowards who timidly begged for mercy.
But he had never seen someone like Rhodes, whom he could not communicate with or understand at all!
It’s useless even if you try to find the other person’s flaws with words.
Because Guwal simply couldn’t understand what the child in front of him was thinking.
“I say, it’s about time you showed me some new moves.”
“It’s the same old trick over and over again. I’m getting a little tired of it.”
“You bastard…!!!”
“Is this the only move you have? Also, I heard that the brain capacity of demons isn’t very large.”
“I fucking ……”
“Oh, so disappointing! I thought you were a powerful guy, but you turned out to be just a small fry. I’d better finish you off quickly and go back to sleep with my maid.”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh—”
Guval pounded his chest frantically, then suddenly shot out more than a dozen magic flame rays from his fingertips, locking onto all directions that Rhodes could dodge from all directions.
“Fuck you, you damn human.”
“I am the corrupt sage Guval who has killed countless people!”
“When you were fighting me, was the only thing on your mind that was maid, maid, maid?!!!”
“Die for me!!!”
Rhodes frantically twirled his long-handled, double-edged Zanpakutō.
“Wait, wait a minute, you actually attacked a five-year-old kid like me!”
“And you actually spoke Tibetan in front of a child. You have no manners!”
Rhodes looked quite panicked, as if he was in a desperate situation, but it was just an appearance.
The young master slowly spun his Zanpakutō around his body while enjoying the intense, impotent rage unleashed by the great demon.
The piercing magic attack launched by Guval was like hitting an invisible wall of air. The moment it came into contact with the rotating Zanpakutō, it was swallowed up and disappeared.
Guval’s eyes were red and he clenched his fists unwillingly.
“It happens again!”
It was clearly a magic that could penetrate everything, but it couldn’t break through the strange knife in the child’s hand.
“You’re just relying on magic items. You humans are always like this, just trying to be clever!”
Rhodes was quite proud when he heard this.
“Do you like my knife too? I won’t give it to you.”
Guval’s face flushed red with anger.
“You fucking…”
Rhodes naturally wouldn’t be like a stupid villain who would take the initiative to explain his abilities to the enemy.
He was quite satisfied with his beloved knife.
Its adaptability perfectly matched Rod’s old six ideas.
Zanpakuto: Black Moon Halo.
A combination of Zanpakutō Raiku and Kurenai Shigure.
It can be said to be one of the most buggy Zanpakuto in the world of Bleach.
Its ability is——
Cut space, copy techniques, absorb ether, and counter attacks.
036 New A-level summon card, this move is called [Instant Refining]! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Mo Yuehuan can cut space by rotating counterclockwise to store the enemy’s moves, and then create and record new space by rotating clockwise.
In the world of Death Note, it can copy the attack of Flowing Blade Fiery Blade when it is first released, which shows how powerful it is!
It can also convert the enemy’s magic attacks into ether and absorb and store them, replenishing its own magic power or directly releasing them to counterattack.
With just the initial release, it can release the ability called Hadong Kuli, absorb all the spirit particles in the entire Soul Society, and deliver a devastating blow!
I can only say that it is worthy of being a bug-level weapon from the original Bleach anime.
If it weren’t for the plot, this knife would be almost invincible.
In the original work, its only possible flaw is that it cannot absorb the spiritual pressure of hollows.
But after system adaptation, the energy absorbed by the sword turned into ether.
Mo Yueyun’s last flaw was also made up for!
As long as he has this knife in his hand, any enemy attack will be absorbed by Rhodes!
As the battle goes on, the ether in Rhodes’ body will increase, while the opposite will be true for the enemy.
This means that Rhodes can completely use the enemy’s magic power and enemy moves to attack the enemy.
If he is shameless enough, he can even exhaust the other party to death!
Rhodes can confidently and proudly say the famous line “I have plenty of time and resources to waste time with you”!
He is definitely the king of endurance!
but….
His goal was not to wear out the opponent, but to test his own abilities in all aspects.
Obviously, with Guwal’s strength, even if he risked his life, he would not be able to reach the limit of Mo Yueyun.
So, on to the next test.
Rhodes casually threw Mo Yueyun high up.
The double-edged sword drew a graceful arc in the moonlight, then fell to the ground and pierced straight into the soil.
“I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense. I decided to fight you fair and square with my fists!”
Guwal was stunned for a moment, and a hint of cunning flashed in his black pupils.
idiot!
He is indeed a little brat, so easily fooled!
“Go to hell!!!”
Guval crushed the ground beneath his feet, rolled up the rubble, rushed towards Rhodes, and raised his fist that could crack the mountain.
“Hahahahaha, human, pay the price for your arrogance!”
He laughed heartily, his eyes shining with excitement, as if he saw Rhodes’ head exploding the next moment.
“In terms of physical strength, we demons are far superior to you!!!”
However, his fist, which was determined to win, stopped 0.01 centimeters away from Rhodes’ face. An invisible force prevented him from getting any closer.
The wind pressure created by his fist swept past Rhodes and broke the big tree behind him!
Guval roared, his face turning purple.
The young man’s frail figure was clearly before his eyes, yet his attacks seemed to be forever out of reach.
Facing Guval’s puzzled and angry look, Rhodes tickled his ears and spread his hands jokingly.
“I say, you really believe it.”
“Are all of you demons so naive?”
Rhodes sighed in boredom.
“It’s almost time to wrap it up. I thought you had some new moves, but it’s just the same old back and forth.”
“Fortunately, your extensive combat experience is still worth seeing, but even this sole advantage has been completely seen through by me.”
“Really? This is a rare opportunity for actual combat, but you, such a loser, can’t even use one tenth of my strength.”
The moment the young master showed his evil smile, Guwal felt that every cell in his body was boiling and trembling with fear.
Guwal lowered his head in a daze.
A white and slender arm that seemed to be easily broken penetrated his chest and exited from his back.
“How, how could it be…”
Rhodes raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of happiness.
“It seems that even physically, I’m stronger.”
After all, this will eventually grow into the power of the Thunder Dragon King!
How can a mere demon be worthy of competing with it?
Guwal’s consciousness gradually became blurred, but his mood was unusually calm at this time.
“Ah, it seems that’s true. You’re even more of a monster than I am.”
He looked at the young boy in front of him and suddenly smiled with relief.
“You are the most talented and terrifying human I have ever seen. Even our king was far inferior to you when he was your age.”
“Compared to dying at the hands of those self-righteous fools, I’m very satisfied with this ending.”
After saying this, Guval quietly closed his eyes and waited for death.
When Rhodes heard Guval’s words of relief, he tutted his words, his eyes turned, and he suddenly said maliciously.
“Old fellow, left behind by time, before you die, I will mercifully tell you the truth.”
“The killing magic you are so proud of has long been cracked by humans over the past few decades and transformed into demon-killing magic.”
“Although I am indeed an outlier among humans, if it were any other ordinary magician who came today, I would be able to defeat you~”
“If a demon doesn’t eat brains, he will remain a demon for his entire life.”
Guval suddenly opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something.
“you…….”
The fair little hand crushed the heart in its palm.
[Congratulations to the host for killing the A-rank demon Guval][Tag: Demons][Reward: A-level summon card]Rod pointed his left hand at the Zanpakuto on the ground not far away and activated Cang to suck it into his hand.
Although Guval was dead, Rhodes still had one last test to do.
“Although unlike Soul Society where everything is made of Reishi, all living things and objects in this world have Ether.”
“Solidified ether is usually difficult to use except for magic crystals.”
“but…….”
Skinning gloves activated!
Nails, bones, skin, muscles, lungs, stomach, heart, spinal cord, blood vessels, brain…
Until it could no longer be [skinned], Guval’s huge body was decomposed into pure ether and other impurities that could no longer be separated.
Rhodes swung his Zanpakutō expressionlessly, absorbing all the ether that was about to escape.
“Hmm, maybe it’s because I just unsealed it and it’s because of the battle… The remaining ether is only about the same as the magic power I can absorb in a week now, which is not bad.”
The combination of Blue Power + Skinning Gloves + Ink Moon Halo was originally an inspiration that Rhodes came up with on the spur of the moment, but it now works surprisingly well.
The ether stored in the Zanpakutō can be used to replicate the Zhaotoujin.
Rhodes rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself.
“But this move is a bit heavy-handed, making me look like a villain… How about calling this move [Instant Refining]?”
Rhodes spun the Mo Yue Huan in his hand to release the initial release, and finally took a last look at the remains of Guval on the ground, and suddenly chuckled mockingly.
“I’m not lying. You were completely defeated by humans.”
“Because the killing magic you developed as a demon clan flourished after being learned by humans.”
“Humans have killed thousands and thousands of times as many of their own kind using this method as you have.”
“You’ve lived a wonderful life, haven’t you?”
“I’m so sleepy… I’ll just go back and hold Rita to sleep!”
Rhodes looked up at the moonlight, yawned, and turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared from the spot.
The remains of Guval were blown away by the wind, and his unbridled laughter seemed to echo in the deserted forest.
037 Dragon Slayer Crystal Hidden Effect, Rita’s Servant (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
“Damn it, I was so busy having fun that I forgot to ask about Fulilian.”
Rhodes muttered, carefully poked his head out of the window, and climbed in silently.
“Forget it, I’ll find a way to confirm it later.”
“Everyone should be asleep by this time.”
The killing skills taught to him by the assassin teacher are indeed convenient.
However, Rhode had no intention of using it to steal the beauty for the time being, but chose to use it to avoid being punished by the maid.
“Your Majesty, where have you been so late?”
The dim light of an oil lamp suddenly appeared in the shadow in the corner.
The aloof maid, wearing Moon Soul Armor, crossed her chest with her arms and stared at Rhodes expressionlessly, like a wife questioning her husband’s why he came home late.
Rhodes suddenly shuddered, stopped, and looked back with a wry smile.
“Oh, Rita, you’re still awake.”
Rod winked at Rita in an attempt to get away with it, but Rita gave him a cold glare.
The black eyes and the red pupils met, and the two of them silently read each other’s thoughts.
After a while, Rita sighed in compromise, stood up and walked to Rhodes, lowered her head, held Rhodes’ hand, and carefully examined his body.
“My little master, you’ve obviously noticed me a long time ago, but you’re still pretending not to know. You’re such a fool.”
“Um, well, I’m supposed to cooperate with you, so I can’t just turn a blind eye.”
“You are the only king who would act out a play with his maid. If outsiders knew about your lack of dignity, they would look down on you. Don’t do that again next time.”
Rita patiently advised Rod, trying to persuade him to be more bossy.
Rhodes ignored it and spoke as if it went in one ear and out the other.
“Only a complete fool in this world would put on airs in front of someone who truly cares about them.”
“You are my family to me. People, country and even this world are not as precious as you.”
Rita stretched out her green index finger and gently tapped Rhodes’ forehead, admonishing him helplessly.
“You are such an absurd monarch! You shouldn’t say that.”
“Your people look forward to your kindness, and your soldiers trust your wisdom.”
But despite saying that, Rita couldn’t suppress the smile on her face.
Rhodes noticed the [Skati of Eternal Frost] placed in the corner, and knew that Rita must have been worried about him and was ready to attack and support him at any time, which touched his heart even more.
Cang——
Under Rita’s puzzled gaze, he sucked the sickle into his right hand, then drew out his Zanpakutō and released the ether absorbed in it.
A blue light flashed across the sickle.
After doing all this, Rhodes proudly handed the sickle to Rita.
“Give it a try.”
Rita looked at the sickle in confusion, which had no change in appearance, but did not ask any questions. Instead, she obediently grasped the sickle handle.
At this moment, Rita felt an ability that [Skati of Eternal Frost] could never have possessed!
It’s as if he can cut through space with ease!
This sickle seemed to be connected to her blood, and she could even vaguely hear the voice of the soul residing in the sickle.
Rita played with the sickle lovingly, and suddenly looked up at Rhodes.
“Your Majesty, is this also the evolution of your ability?”
Rhodes snapped his fingers.
“As expected of you, Rita. You guessed right.”
“But it’s called evolution, but it’s actually just the increase in my magical power that allows me to perform operations that I couldn’t do before.”
“I copied the abilities and properties of this Zanpakutō onto your scythe.”
“Not only that, if you connect with it, you might even be able to develop new Shikai and Bankai.”
Zhao Dao Zhen can analyze items and then copy them out of thin air by consuming ether.
But what if after the analysis is completed, it is not copied completely, but the characteristics of the original object are simply added to other items?
The properties of objects ultimately come from the arrangement and combination of ether and the basic properties of its constituent elements.
Quantifying it using a list of game attributes is probably [entry].
The original Rhodes could only copy identical things.
But now he can engrave countless parsed entries on the items he wants!
In other words, as long as there are enough entries, he can arrange and combine them to create a magical weapon that will defy the heavens!
The Black Moon Halo is indeed precious, but Rhodes does not think it is inappropriate to give its characteristics to Rita.
He even felt that this was not enough to respond to Rita’s feelings.
Rhodes showed a smug expression.
“How is it? I’m pretty good, right?”
Rita put down her sickle with emotion, touched Rhodes’ cheek, and showed her sincere admiration.
“As expected of Your Majesty, if you were the one you are now, you might be even more powerful than any Herrscher I’ve ever met.”
Rhodes raised his brows slightly.
Sit-ups? Or twin-turbocharged sprints?
However, incomplete rational power requires knowledge of principles when constructing creations.
However, complete legal and rational power is not necessary, which is equivalent to “I don’t need to understand why but I can do it.”
Zhao Dao Zhen Ze has the ability to deconstruct on top of the complete power of reason and law, which is equivalent to “I can do it and I understand it.”
So, I am indeed stronger.
“Forget it, now is not the time to discuss this.”
The young monarch made a rare exercise of his capricious royal powers.
“Rita, I’m a little sleepy, please sleep with me.”
Rod’s original intention was to hold Rita in his arms while sleeping.
After getting used to having someone to accompany him, he really didn’t want to sleep alone in the big bed.
But this sentence was automatically translated into a very harsh language in Rita’s ears.
Rita blinked when she heard that, and her pretty face was quietly filled with a bright red color, and her eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions.
“I, I understand…”
Rita felt that her little master was a little special tonight.
Like he’s more masculine?
In short, this strange feeling is hard to explain.
Rhodes noticed Rita’s strange expression, but he just thought that her habit had started again and didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Rod changed into pajamas with Rita’s gentle service, climbed onto the bed, got into the quilt, and closed his eyes contentedly.
I could feel the hot body temperature beside me and a light fragrance filled the room.
Rita naturally held Rod in her arms, closed her beautiful eyes, and made a happy sound in her throat.
One minute later.
Rita’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, her voice extremely nervous yet inexplicably excited.
At this moment, Rhodes really wanted to find a house to hide in, and forced himself to keep a straight face and look calm.
“Ah, well, actually, I recently gained the power of a dragon. As a result, my physical features have further developed. Although I look very young now, my maturity is almost equivalent to that of an adult.”
“Is that so? Should I congratulate Your Majesty?”
“Well, that’s not necessary. But you know the characteristics of dragons, Rita, so it wasn’t intentional.”
“Y-yeah, I understand then.”
The two of them remained silent for another three minutes.
Rhodes’ voice was a little difficult at this time.
“Or, Rita, you can go back to sleep.”
Rita hesitated and did not respond.
After a moment, she silently covered her blushing cheeks with the quilt and dived down.
“……!!!”
038 Charlotte starts the abduction plan, Rod’s age is unknown (seeking flowers and votes) (old version)
The next morning.
Rita sat at the head of the bed, humming a song in a good mood and putting on her stockings gracefully.
She bent down and smoothed out the few wrinkles on the surface.
“Your Majesty, it’s time to get up. I still need to change the sheets~”
Rhodes opened his eyes hazily. His black hair was a little messy, his cheeks were a little haggard, and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes. He looked a little listless.
“……Um, Rita, did you sneak some food again this morning?”
Rita pretended not to understand.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Are you looking for another excuse to stay in bed?”
She straightened her instep, stepped into her high heels, stood up, put on her maid outfit, put on her Katyusha headdress, turned around and gently tidied the young master’s hair.
“Okay, stop acting like a spoiled brat and get up~”
Rita caressed the soft black hair gently as it flowed through her slender white fingertips.
Rod’s sleepy face is really heart-warming.
She couldn’t help but hold Rhodes in her arms and love him tenderly.
Rhodes felt a chill and suddenly became much more awake.
He stared suspiciously into Rita’s wine-red eyes.
“Rita, are you an alchemist?”
Rita smiled with narrowed eyes.
“Aiya, Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Actually, small ones are also very cute. There are many people in the world who don’t understand this truth~”
The corners of Rhodes’ mouth twitched wildly, and he couldn’t help but glance at Rita’s black stockings.
“Mad, don’t you know whether I’m big or not?”
Rita noticed Rhodes’s gaze and secretly rejoiced. She took a step forward to make it easier for Rhodes to admire her.
“Hehe, anyway, not now~”
The relationship between the two people achieved a breakthrough last night, but it still did not reach the final step.
The infrastructure is actually complete, but the hurdle in her heart is difficult to overcome.
Although she knew that her little master was not an ordinary person, Rita still felt that she was too stupid to attack a child of this age, and she was very conflicted for a while.
However, as Rhodes continues to absorb the Thunder Dragon Slayer Crystal, his irresistible attraction will become more and more alluring, and Rhodes will become more mature.
Even with Rita’s strong will, she probably couldn’t hold on.
“By the way, you seem to have grown up a little?”
Rhodes reached out from under the quilt and took a look, also slightly surprised.
“Indeed, it’s about the same height as me when I was twelve or thirteen. The sleeves are a bit too short.”
He clenched his fists slightly.
“The strength has also increased a lot.”
In the original work, the dragon slayer wizard runs the risk of completely transforming into a dragon after continuously developing dragon slayer magic.
However, Rhodes had the ability to control six eyes, so he was not worried about this kind of thing.
If judged by the pure dragon power absorbed, Rhodes’ dragon age is probably between 300 and 500 years old. Compared to the dragons with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, he is still in his infancy.
In other words, his mental age is over thirty years old, his dragon age is over three hundred years old, and his physical maturity as a human in this world has reached that of a thirteen-year-old.
But he was officially active in this life for five years, so how old was he?
Well, this is really an unclear question.
Rhodes suddenly realized that he was no longer human. There was no point in worrying about the human time scale, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
Rita hurried out to wash the wet sheets.
Rhodes used Zhao Daozhen to make a few new sets of clothes, got up and went to the restaurant.
“Huh? Your Majesty… have you grown taller?”
Lilia was the first to notice Rhodes’ change. She ran to him in surprise and gestured with her hands.
“I remember you were only up to my thigh before, but now you’re up to my chest.”
Charlotte was also amazed.
“My Master has truly become an adult overnight.”
Rhodes couldn’t help but glance at Charlotte.
He always felt that this girl was being sarcastic.
“Ahem, anyway, for some reason, my body is in a period of rapid development.”
“Such changes may continue to occur in the future, and dragon scales may appear on the body. This is all normal, so there is no need to be nervous.”
Rhodes planned to wait until his body was completely stable and found nothing abnormal before using the Dragon Slayer Crystal on the girls.
Lilia and Charlotte were both curious about Rhode’s changes and looked around.
The little maids also hid behind the door, peeking at Rhode with their bright eyes, blushing and whispering to each other, laughing from time to time, and then playing with each other.
It was not until dinner time that Rita finally came back from outside.
Lilia asked with concern.
“Rita, are you feeling unwell?”
Rita shook her head and responded respectfully.
“I’m in good health. Thank you for your concern, Senior Lilia.”
Rhodes was afraid that Rita would tease Lilia, so he quickly changed the subject.
“Come sit down, let’s eat and talk. What’s my schedule for today?”
Rita also put on a serious look and sat upright.
“According to the original plan, you need to practice swordsmanship and magic in the morning.”
Rhodes waved his hand to cross it out.
“Let’s wait until the swordsmanship teacher arrives in a couple of days. My current training alone is no longer effective.”
Lilia had no objection to this.
“Regarding the design of the new Valkyrie armor, I have already drawn up the test blueprint.”
Rhodes sighed in his heart at Rita’s efficiency and nodded.
“I understand. Leave it to me later. It’s easy for me to make it all in one go now. I’ll be responsible for completing this task this morning.”
Upon hearing this, Charlotte took a sip of hot water and immediately volunteered.
“If Your Majesty completes the armor this morning, I will set out in the afternoon to carry out your plan.”
Rhodes pondered for a moment after hearing this.
To be honest, in this world, apart from the three great families, there is almost no urgent need for others to intercept in the early stages.
Although we now know that the Fulilian world has been integrated again, there is no clue about Fulilian’s whereabouts, so we can’t rush to find her for the time being.
After all, Fulilian’s timeline is longer and more difficult to judge.
“Okay, I’ll give you some more people worth noting. Be careful along the way.”
Charlotte smiled confidently.
Lilia is busy with palace affairs in the morning, and is responsible for leading the maids to test the new armor in the afternoon.
Rita will focus on connecting with Nathan and taking charge of military affairs.
Rhode was also considering whether to use the two summoning cards now, after all, they were still a little short of manpower.
“By the way, Your Majesty, I learned something from the conscription list earlier.”
Rita suddenly remembered the beastman who had been rejected twice, so she told him the whole story.
Rhodes was shocked when he heard this.
“You mean, that person’s name is Gilenu?!”
[There are about three or four chapters left before we skip the nation’s development period and move on to ten years later. The reason we set this age before was mainly because we wanted to both intercept the previous generation of Lilia and her generation and ensure their purity. We also wanted to intercept the next generation of Alice, so we could only set it at this age.][The most crucial thing is Alice. If Alice’s favorability isn’t cultivated from childhood, her personality will be completely annoying, and only a masochist would like her.][Finally, thank you all for your flowers, votes, rewards, and urging for updates~]039 Reorganize destiny, I am destiny! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector Emperor: 039 Reorganizing Destiny, I Am Destiny! (Please give me flowers and votes)
After finishing his meal, Rhodes transformed into Thunder and left the restaurant.
With all six eyes open, he scanned the entire Elserland in two minutes.
Unfortunately, however, he did not find Gileno.
Rhodes did not choose to give up, but temporarily returned to the palace to make the Valkyrie armor, planning to go to a slightly farther place to search in the afternoon.
Black Wolf Gileno.
Former member of the Black Wolf Fang.
He is a Sword King of the Sword God Style, recognized by the Sword God Mian Xu Jiechuan, and has the qualifications to become a Sword Emperor.
Rhodes has a natural liking for her.
Not only because she has animal ears, but also because of her almost paranoid loyalty.
Once she found someone to be loyal to, it would be almost impossible for Rhodes to win her over.
Rhodes created two types of Valkyrie armor according to Rita’s drawings.
The first one is a maid uniform designed based on Dark Rose, which combines the Heat Cloak, Invisibility Cloak, Punching Gloves and Armor-Piercing Dagger.
In Rita thoughtfully added two modes to the maid uniform.
One is a slim work outfit like Lilia’s, which is used for daily work.
The other is the critical strike equipment recommended by Rita, the Herrscher of Astringency, which is used alone when there is no outsider serving him personally.
The second type of armor is based on Shadow Iron and also combines the above sets, each with a carbon-based hunter.
Rhodes hesitated for a moment and still decided not to integrate his Zanpakutō into it.
Mo Yueyun’s dominance can easily make them want to take shortcuts and neglect their own training.
After they passed Rita’s approval, it wouldn’t be too late for Rhodes to copy the Mo Yue Huan to them.
However, when Rhodes gave them armor, he also engraved the same stigmata as Rita.
There is no need to worry about their growth.
“Hehehe~”
In Rod’s room.
A little maid wearing the new Dark Rose dress was standing on a chair, happily waving a feather duster and sweeping the dust carefully.
Rhodes had just finished making the last piece of armor and stretched himself lazily with a long sigh of relief.
He looked at the excited little maid and couldn’t help laughing.
“You’re obviously doing tiring work, but you’re still so happy?”
The little maid was not at all flustered by Rhode’s question. She put away the feather duster, jumped down from the chair with a “hey-whoosh”, lifted her skirt and saluted.
“Hey, there’s a warm house to live in and endless delicious food to eat. I don’t have to worry about being sold or being killed by bad guys.”
“I still feel that it is far from enough to repay His Majesty for giving us happiness simply by working!”
“What’s more, Sister Lilia and Sister Rita are very kind to us, just like mothers, and His Majesty is the best person in the world. Of course, we are all very happy!”
The little maid’s words were innocent, yet they were earnest.
Rhodes waved for her to come over and rubbed her little head with a smile.
The little maid narrowed her eyes contentedly and even boldly hugged him, though she immediately jumped away with a red face.
Rhodes did not accuse her of being rude, but just asked with a smile.
“What’s your name?”
“My name is Alpha!”
“Alpha, what a nice name. How are you feeling now? Are there any abnormalities with the stigmata?”
Alpha blushed and shook his head, waving his little fist and holding his head high with pride.
“I feel so good now I can even move a cow!”
Rhodes used his six eyes to confirm that the other party was indeed fine, then nodded with relief.
“Very good. Remember to tell me if you notice anything unusual.”
“Go, call in your last companion.”
“OK!”
Alpha nodded happily and ran out of the room.
She did not have the cute characteristic of falling flat on the ground. Her short legs allowed her to run steadily and quickly. Dark Rose’s maid outfit fluttered like a butterfly, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking at her lovely back, Rhodes’ mood became even happier.
“Alas, despise Rita, become Rita, surpass Rita!”
Of course, Rhode was just doting on the maids and had no intention of actually doing anything.
After a while, the last little maid came in with a red face.
Fifteen minutes later, all the maids in the palace were engraved with the stigmata and equipped with Valkyrie armor.
Of course, they are not able to form immediate combat capability now, so they have to rely on the omnipotent Rita to train them.
The new little maid looked at her clothes happily, then suddenly thought of something and asked timidly.
“Your Majesty, now that we have combat uniforms, do we need a new group name?”
Rod took a closer look at her. The little maid in front of him was obviously smarter.
He lowered his chin in thought for a moment, then gave a wicked smile.
“Let’s call it [Destiny].”
I hope Rita doesn’t get PTSD when she hears that name.
The little maid chewed on this word, excitement gradually shining in her eyes.
“Destiny…! What a handsome name! As expected of His Majesty!”
Rhodes stood up and leaned against the window, stretched out his palm towards the sun above his head, slowly clenched it, and his eyes were slightly fixed.
“Those who serve Heaven’s Mandate are serving the fate of this world. All the evil they have done and all the murders they have committed will be forgiven.”
“Because, I am destiny.”
After showing off in front of the little maid, Rhode, as expected, received admiring and longing glances from the girls.
“Your Majesty is so… handsome!”
If Charlotte hadn’t come over to say goodbye to him, Rhodes could have continued to pretend for a while.
Although Rhodes also gave Charlotte a Zanpakuto, Charlotte was obviously not very proficient in using it as she had just started using it.
Rhodes directly picked up Princess Charlotte, jumped high into the sky, and launched the Unlimited Cang.
Infinitely reduce the distance between a point in the distance and yourself, thus achieving an effect similar to ultra-long-distance teleportation.
In an instant, Rhodes sent it to the border between the conflict zone and the Asura Kingdom.
“Go further, and there’s a barrier above the big city. Breaking through it by force will cause unnecessary trouble, so I’ll just take you here.”
Charlotte covered her dizzy forehead.
The girl, who had never experienced flying, was a little afraid of heights.
“It’s alright, Your Majesty.”
Rhodes poked the angel-like creature floating next to the girl and warned her viciously.
“Protect my dear subordinates, do you hear me? Otherwise, I will eat you in hot pot!”
The angel-like creature was so frightened that it quickly hid behind Charlotte.
“Your Majesty, please don’t bully her. I’m leaving now.”
“Remember to come back early~”
After Charlotte successfully passed the level, she turned back and waved reluctantly three times in Rhodes’ direction before her figure gradually disappeared.
The smile on Rhodes’ face gradually faded, and he squinted his eyes and looked towards the sky in the direction of Asura Capital.
“Sky Fortress… Humph, I want to see if you, King Jialong, can protect this country when I want to destroy it.”
Rhodes never forgot the hatred of being framed by Darius.
And his father is also suspected to have died in the balancing strategy of the great powers.
Wait until the time is right, that is when Arcadia declares war!

As the last corpse fell, Gilenu leaned against the tree with his sword and slid down tiredly.
The moon above is gradually becoming full, emitting bright light and nourishing the dark earth.
“It’s already evening…”
Gileno Tedrudia rubbed his rumbling stomach.
“I’m so hungry.”
The surroundings were filled with the corpses of soldiers from a certain country. Although she was a beastman among the demons, she had no interest in eating such things.
At first, she came here with full confidence and ambition to make a name for herself in the land of conflict.
In her opinion, such a chaotic place would really need a powerful swordsman.
However, the xenophobia in the conflict zone was beyond her imagination. Countries almost always regarded strangers as spies and executed them on the spot.
This caused her to repeatedly run into obstacles in her job search.
It’s not that no one tried to hire her, but they either despised her as a fool who couldn’t communicate with words and rudely drove her away, or they coveted her body and wanted her to kill them with a single blow.
It wasn’t that there weren’t some people who could be called partners before, but because of the presence of a certain man in the team, the girls were quite disgusted by his frivolous behavior, and eventually the team that had been finally assembled was disbanded again.
She became a wandering lone wolf again.
“Want to go home?”
For the first time, Gilenu had the idea of going back to take a look.
“Forget it, they won’t want to see me.”
She is the daughter of the orc chieftain and has a younger sister.
However, when she was in her hometown, she was an absolute bastard. Whenever something unhappy happened, she would make a big fuss and would have to find someone to beat up in order to vent her anger.
And because she is so strong, she cannot be stopped. Even her sister has suffered a tragic end many times.
Although Gileno thinks he has grown a lot now, he is still not welcomed by his family.
Gileno’s eyes were blank.
“Where should I go next… Is there really anyone in this world who needs me…”
If she can’t even go back to her hometown, is there any place that can accommodate her?
suddenly.
Gilenu’s majestic animal ears suddenly stood up.
A sound of breaking through the air came!
Gileno rolled sideways at an unimaginable speed, then took an Iai stance with its tail slightly shaking, and made a ferocious expression with gnashing teeth as if it was ready to seize the opportunity, staring intently at the shadows deep in the forest.
“Who is it?!”
A young man’s voice sounded behind him.
“As expected of the Sword King Gilena, your intuition is truly sharp.”
Gileno’s whole body tensed up, and his back felt cold for a moment.
when?!
How could someone actually sneak around behind me without making any noise?
At one point, she felt that the swordsmanship she had practiced for more than ten years was just a joke!
Gileno slowly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, wanting to use that move, but was stopped by the opponent as if he had seen through him.
“Although I really want to see the secrets of the Sword God Style, not now. Even a rabid dog wouldn’t attack a child casually.”
Child?
Gileno shrugged his nose and sniffed hard, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he turned and jumped away with a tingling scalp.
“No, it’s a dragon?!”
However, the moment he saw the other person’s figure, Gileno was stunned.
Because bathing in the moonlight was indeed a handsome black-haired boy.
Faced with Gileno’s vigilance, Rhodes didn’t care. He raised his hand leisurely and greeted with a smile.
“Hey, hello, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, Gileno.”
Gilenu narrowed his eyes warily.
“I don’t know you!”
Rhodes puffed out his chest proudly upon hearing this.
“Actually, I am the current monarch of Arcadia. I heard that a powerful swordsman has arrived from the Land of Strife, so I came here specifically to invite you to join me!”
Gileno twitched his ears and his tail swung unconsciously. He looked at Rhodes suspiciously, as if trying to judge the truth of his words.
“Arcadia…”
Gilenu thought for a long time before he remembered the name.
“Ah, it’s that small country with only one barely worthwhile town.”
Rhodes’ shoulders slumped, and he held his forehead weakly with his hands.
“When I inherited the country, it was a mess, but you can’t blame me.”
“Uh, wait, are you really the King of Arcadia?”
“No one would pretend to be another country’s monarch in a conflict zone. That would be a waste of their life.”
“But this place is quite far from Arcadia. How did you find me?”
Rhodes raised a finger casually.
“I spent a day running through the entire conflict zone. It was hard work, but for Gilenu, it was worth it.”
“lie……”
Gilenu grumbled in a low voice.
She didn’t believe such nonsense.
But her tail began to wag happily, and she gradually became less alert.
“What position are you planning to invite me to? I’m very expensive!”
Gilenu crossed her arms over her chest, her long gray hair gently blown by the wind. She acted like a big sister and looked at Rhodes.
As long as this guy really provides food and accommodation, I will agree to it.
It’s rare that someone invites me…
But I am the Sword King after all, so should I be reserved?
“You’ll have all the meat and food you need. If you have any special requests, you can apply to me for additional expenses. Your accommodation is in the palace guest room, with a soft, large bed. You’ll receive a salary of 100 gold coins per month, and you can exchange them for magic items based on your achievements…”
“Greetings, my Lord!”
Rhodes hadn’t finished speaking yet.
Gileno pounced on Rhodes’ legs and eagerly pledged his allegiance, as if he was afraid that Rhodes would go back on his word.
Rhodes tentatively reached out and pinched Gileno’s animal ears.
She didn’t resist and even arched her body actively, her tail even shaking like a propeller.
It’s almost the same as a puppy that has found its owner.
Hey, hey, hey, you are the Sword King with the qualities of a Sword Emperor!
Gileno stared at Rhodes with longing eyes, drooling from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing this, Rhodes shook his head with a smile and simply used the imperial knife to conjure up a large number of delicious foods.
The two of them started having a picnic in the forest.
Gileno was startled by Rhodes’ move, but he just took a closer look and didn’t even ask any questions. He just focused on enjoying the food.
Rhodes felt a little regretful. It was rare that he still wanted to continue pretending.
After all, Gilenu is one of the few people who is trustworthy and allows him to show off.
Rhodes was not hungry, but just propped up his chin and watched Gileno wolfing down his food with a smile.
“Eat slowly, don’t choke. How long have you been hungry…”
“Hmm… I don’t know…”
“For someone with your power, finding food is easy, right?”
Gilenu didn’t answer but just shook his head.
Rhodes understood.
This is what is called a swordsman’s persistence.
Rhodes conjured up food three more times before filling the orc warrior’s bottomless stomach.
“I’m full. Let’s go back home. The king can’t leave the country for too long.”
“Too.”
“What position are you planning to assign me? Actually, I was just joking before. I’m only good at wielding a sword.”
“I lack a reliable and powerful captain of the palace guards.”
“…Even if I’m stupid, I know this is an important position. Is it really okay to trust me, an outsider, and a beastman at that?”
“I don’t trust outsiders. I just trust Gileno.”
Gileno did not respond, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly and his tail swayed.
“I don’t have a good temper~”
“I can be willful sometimes.”
“I’m stupid and I might make a lot of mistakes.”
“It doesn’t matter. There aren’t many smart people in Arcadia these days.”
“Hmph…you’re just fooling me.”

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 041: Senis decides to join the game and correct Rod’s view on love! (Please give me flowers and votes)
Rhodes used Cang to take Gilenu back to the palace in an instant.
He introduced Gilenu to the palace guards, and specifically emphasized her strength as the Sword King, and warned no one to underestimate her.
The palace guards were shocked when they heard this and hurriedly saluted Gileno.
However, Gilenu was in a complete trance at this time and did not hear what the guard said at all.
It was not until Rhodes brought her to the guest room that the Gilean slave came to her senses and stared at Rhodes in disbelief.
“Did you really search the entire Conflict Zone in just one day? Using that… god-like ability?”
Before teleportation magic was banned, long-distance teleportation could only be achieved using large-scale and complex magic arrays.
Gileno had never heard of a being who could use teleportation magic at will without chanting alone!
Moreover, judging from Rhode’s relaxed look, he obviously didn’t consume much magic power.
This made Gileno even more shocked by his talent!
Rhodes didn’t think it was a big deal and handed a card to Gileno.
“It only took half a day.”
“I spent the rest of the day looking for these two idiots. One of them almost ran off to the Dragon King Kingdom. Damn, they really gave me a hard time looking for them.”
Gileno took the card in a daze, and looked down to see that there were two living people sealed in the card!
When they saw Gilenu, they were frightened at first, and then they kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Rhodes had a blank expression.
“To embarrass your two recruiting officers.”
The Gilene beast’s ears trembled slightly, and it felt like its tears would burst out at any time.
Rhodes wanted to pat Gilena’s arm to comfort her, but Gilena squatted down and held Rhodes’ hand and placed it on her head.
“Well, that’s not necessary. I didn’t go looking for them just for you. After all, these country parasites should be dealt with anyway.”
Rhodes rubbed Gileno’s furry ears and said contentedly.
“If the country didn’t have a secret assassination unit dedicated to this, there wouldn’t be any need for me to do it myself.”
Gileno didn’t know how to express this strange feeling, so he just pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.
“I will protect you with my life!”
Rhodes smiled gently.
He knew that this was not a lie coming from Gilenu’s mouth, and it was the most straightforward emotion she could express.
“Rita will tell you the specific duties of the palace guards. The maids here are all trustworthy. Rita is also very powerful, so you can trust them too.”
“By the way, if possible, can you contact your former teammates? As you know, Arcadia is very short of talent.”
Gileno frowned slightly when he heard this, as if he was thinking of some annoying guy.
“You mean Paul?”
Rhodes immediately sneered disdainfully.
“Why would I need a loser who can’t control his lower body? Besides him and Keith, I want to invite the other two women, and that dwarf warrior too.”
Gileno quite agreed with Rhodes’ evaluation of Paul.
She was a little puzzled as to why Rhodes excluded Keith, but she did not object.
Gileno recalled the status of his companions.
“Senise is an excellent healer. Her relationship with her family isn’t very good right now, and she’s currently living in seclusion in a small village. I’m confident I can invite her, but it won’t be easy for her to reach the conflict zone.”
Rhodes’ eyes lit up and he immediately made a promise.
“That’s easy, I’ll pick her up myself!”
According to Gileno, Senis also seemed to have remained single.
It was not until he mentioned Senis that Rhodes realized that he had missed something important.
The three Alice daughters are undoubtedly S-class characters, but so are their parents, who were originally the protagonists of the world!
This means that Senis may also mean an S-level reward!
And Rhodes, who originally planned to let Paul go, had the idea of killing him for the first time to get the gold coins.
As for conquering it, that is simply impossible.
“Elina Lijie travels around the world frequently, so it’s hard for me to pinpoint her location. I can invite her through the Adventurer’s Guild in my name, but I’m not sure if she’ll agree.”
“Okay, I’m not in a rush.”
“As for Talhand, he’s been acting as an independent adventurer since the group disbanded. He’s actually a skilled blacksmith, and he really wants to save up enough money to build his own forge.”
“If he’s truly talented, I’ll allocate a separate industrial zone for him. I also have unique metal materials here that will surely showcase his talent!”
After receiving Rhodes’ response, Gileno immediately got up and wrote a letter.
However, due to his illiterate education, Gileno fell into a painful struggle. Fortunately, Lilia, who came to visit the newcomer, extended a helping hand in time.
Gilenu’s joining was quickly recognized by everyone.
She was meticulous when she worked, and even if Rhodes disturbed her at that time, she would glare at him fiercely.
Gilenu is indeed not smart in any aspect, especially not good at writing and spelling, but he has a natural keen sense in combat.
She didn’t know how to deploy defenses properly, but she would imagine herself invading the palace and think about the defense strategy in reverse.
Even when Rita saw Gileno’s defense plan, she only made a few suggestions on rotation and code words, and then she was satisfied and stopped interfering.
As for Gileno’s three teammates, since Senis’s residence was fixed, Rhodes went to her door with the letter as soon as possible.
Senis was in a depressed period because her family was pressuring her to get married, and when she received Gileno’s invitation, she immediately wanted to accept it.
But when she knew that the destination was a conflict zone, Senis hesitated again.
Especially when Rhodes told her frankly that as a king he had ambitions to start a harem, Senis became even more hesitant.
Senis was born into the family of Count Latorrea in the Holy Kingdom of Milis. She was a traditional Milis believer who strictly abided by the religious law of monogamy, so she did not like Rhodes’s ideas very much.
Senis held the letter from Gileno and asked hesitantly.
“Given your position, why would you bother explaining this to me?”
Rhodes spread his hands.
“While I’m eager to get more talent, I believe being honest with each other is the first step to building mutual trust.”
“Alas, I have never seen a noble of your age possess such magnanimity. But why can’t you just like one person?”
“I’m sorry, because I’m very fickle. When I see beautiful things, I want to protect them. I want everyone to be happy. So I won’t have a legal wife, nor will I have a secret lover. Everyone is together openly and honestly.”
Rhode’s remarks, which were shocking enough at the time, shocked Senis once again.
Faced with such a frank Rhodes, Senis had to admit that she suddenly felt that this guy in front of her was much better than those fat nobles.
Senis was silent for a long time and sighed.
“From my personal standpoint, I don’t want to join a country that goes against its doctrine.”
Just when Rhodes thought that Senis had finally chosen to refuse, her voice suddenly became louder.
“But as an adult, I can’t bear to see a child go astray, so I will take on the responsibility of admonishing you!”
Senis’s competitive spirit ignited, and she decided to correct Rhodes’ evil ideas.
In her opinion, pure love will win!
However, at this time she still didn’t know what kind of hell difficulty she was going to challenge.
In short, although Rhodes was a little confused, he was still very happy that Senis joined.
But perhaps because she didn’t fully recognize Rhodes, the system didn’t immediately trigger the reward mechanism.

After Senis joined the palace, Rhodes asked her to work as a healer and also to teach the maids healing magic and detoxification magic.
Rhodes also asked her to heal Lilia’s old injury, but Senis regretfully said that she could not do it.
Intermediate healing magic is difficult to heal hidden injuries accumulated over the years, only advanced healing magic can do it.
However, advanced magic is difficult to obtain even in magic academies, and the more advanced divine healing magic is hidden deep within the Miris Cult.
Lilia seemed quite open-minded about this and didn’t seem to care.
But Rhodes took this matter to heart.
It is worth mentioning that Lilia and Senis had never met each other before, but a wonderful spark flew between them.
The two of them seemed to get along well, but when they smiled at each other, there was always a sense of confrontation, which made Rhodes sweat profusely.
Although there were more people in the palace, everyone became busier than before.
While Senis was busy teaching the maids, she was also responsible for the cultural work of Gilena.
Rhodes often heard her roaring in the castle, which was so loud that it broke through her defenses and was mixed with sobbing.
Teaching a lone wolf to read seems to be more difficult than teaching a little maid to learn extremely difficult healing magic.
But despite this, facing the task assigned by Rhodes, Senis did not choose to give up.
Rhodes himself spent a few days comfortably.
Every morning, I take a look around Elserland to see if there are any talents worth recruiting.
In the morning, all magic power is consumed to create Zanpakutō, soul steel, magic tools, and necessary food resources.
After his magic power recovered in the afternoon, Rhodes continued to develop the limitless and dragon-slaying magic in the secret room. However, due to the lack of further theoretical knowledge, his progress was slow.
Before going to bed at night, he would practice swordplay with Gilenu.
Gileno was indeed a swordsman far superior to Lilia, and he had been suppressing Rhodes steadily with his swordsmanship skills alone.
Rhodes used his six eyes to study her every move and grew rapidly.
However, the Sword God School’s philosophy of sacrificing oneself to kill the enemy did not fit Rhodes’ personality, which prevented Rhodes’ swordsmanship from improving very quickly.
I forgot which day it was when Lilya suddenly turned pale and hurriedly called Rhodes out of the secret room.
Rhode asked her what happened, but Lilya lowered her head and stammered, unable to answer.
When we arrived at the hall, everyone was there, with different expressions on their faces.
Only Gileno was kneeling on the ground covered in blood, with two dismembered bodies lying beside him.
Rhodes frowned slightly and looked at Rita.
“What happened?”
Rita stood up and saluted respectfully.
“Your Majesty, Gilenu has discovered an intruder with murderous intent.”
“However, the letters found in the bodies of the enemies after the beheadings indicate that they appear to be the swordsmanship instructors you had intended to teach.”
Gilenu lowered his head.
“I am willing to be punished, no matter what the punishment is.”
Lilia wanted to say something but didn’t know how to start.
Senis glanced anxiously at the silent Gileno, then explained carefully.
“Your Majesty, Gilenu was only doing her duty. I was with her at the time. In fact, these two people even planned to kidnap me!”
Rhodes nodded slightly thoughtfully.
“Kilenu, what school are they from?”
Gilenu recalled the battle scene.
“Probably the Qiba Sect of the Northern Gods. They should be Nakul Jade, known as the Twin Swords of the Northern King.”
Rhodes sneered, his eyes slightly lowered.
“Interesting, Beishenliu actually intends to teach a mere King Qibaliu.”
The so-called Qiba style is a style that uses all possible means in battle. It is a combat technique that has no bottom line and no moral limit.
“As a king, even when wielding a sword, it should be done in a dignified and righteous manner. How dare someone like the Northern God School become my teacher?”
“Either they were simply trying to humiliate me, or they were trying to kill me from the beginning.”
Rhodes vaguely recalled the performance of these two people in the original work.
Hmm…it seems like he was the type who relied on the twins to win by surprise, but he was still defeated in seconds by Alice who had just come out.
His individual swordsmanship level is probably not even as good as that of a sword master.
Although he had guessed that Beishenliu was a pawn of the Human God, Rhodes initially thought that the other party would at least send a Beidi.
This allowed Rhodes to witness the power of the Northern Divine Stream.
After all, Beishenliu is quite suitable if used as a small-scale special forces unit.
As a result, they sent these two idiots, which immediately dampened Rhodes’ interest.
“Kilenu, you will indeed be punished.”
Rhodes stood in front of Gileno with an expressionless face.
Lilia and the others didn’t dare to breathe.
Gileno lowered his head in deep guilt, and his ears drooped weakly.
“It is your sin to bring this garbage into the hall and pollute my sight.”
“Well, I’ll punish you by making you take an extra class of Senis’s cultural studies tonight!”
The atmosphere in the hall stagnated for a moment.
As Lilia couldn’t help laughing, she immediately felt relieved.
Senis glanced at Rhodes resentfully, as if blaming him for making everyone nervous, and then she covered her mouth and couldn’t help laughing.
“Alas, Your Majesty, this punishment is indeed too cruel for Gilena~”
“However, Your Majesty, you must pay me overtime pay and compensation for mental damage!”
Gileno’s ears suddenly pricked up, his face filled with emotion, and he wanted to say something at a loss, but Rita stopped him with her eyes.
Rod snapped his fingers, and Rita understood and took out a new Zanpakuto.
“Every punishment has its reward. This sword is the reward for Gilenu’s loyalty. Use it well~”
Rhodes yawned, waved his hand and walked towards the door.
“Okay, let’s go, let’s go. I thought it was a big deal. I’m going to take a nap!”
After that, Lilia and Senis kept teasing Gileno, who was holding his Zanpakutō tightly, which eventually made the beast girl’s ears red and she became angry and embarrassed. But that’s another story.
There is a regret in this matter. If he had personally cut down the two swords of the Northern King, he might have obtained an E-level summoning card.
Although he was just a supporting role who was killed the moment he appeared on the stage, at least he had a name and a surname.
However, thanks to this incident, Rhodes finally decided to use up the three summoning cards he had accumulated.
Firstly, it is to prevent possible actions by Bei Shenliu, and secondly, the country is about to enter a period of rapid development and needs more manpower.
Rhodes came to a corner of the palace and made a wish secretly.
“There are too many big sister characters at home. Although I like them too, it would be nice to have a little sister type to change the taste!”
“Tongzi, draw a card for me!”
[A-rank summon card in use…]Tags: children/politicians
[Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the character…]Boom——
There was a loud noise like a meteorite falling to the ground.
The moment Rhodes waved his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, his pupils suddenly shrank.
He raised his head with difficulty to look up at the girl who was as big as a mountain, and complained bitterly in his heart.
Damn, you call her a kid!!!
Although it was a good card, it was not the type he wanted at all!
[Host, Charlotte Lingling is only five years old at this time, she is indeed a child.]Rhodes covered his forehead and sighed weakly.
“really……”
That’s right, the one he summoned with the A-level summoning card was the five-year-old natural destroyer, one of the future Four Emperors of the pirate world, Charlotte Linlin!
Charlotte Lingling looked around the unfamiliar environment curiously, and her eyes lit up the moment she saw Rhodes.
“Big brother, I’m so hungry~”
Rhodes pinched his brows, decided to accept this reality, and waved his hand to create a large pile of barbecue.
Seeing this, Charlotte Lingling immediately started eating happily.
“Thank you, big brother!”
If we only consider the combat power, this result is far beyond his expectations.
It’s a pity that Charlotte Linlin did not have the Soul-Soul Fruit at this time.
But this was not a problem. Rhode was quite looking forward to what level she could have reached if she had not wasted decades of time and trained hard.
Next, Rhodes used an A-rank summoning card labeled Demon to summon Sylvia Garda, the demon from the demon nanny.
Shilodi is a maid demon from a prominent family. She is not very strong in combat, but she is just in charge of taking care of the naughty kids.
However, when Xiludi realized that the person she had to take care of was not the cute Rhodes, but the giant-like child next to him, her expression froze instantly.
Rhodes couldn’t help but sigh.
“I can even get a maid-type character. Damn, I’ve got one in my life.”
In his last draw, Rhodes used the summoning card he got when he subdued Gileno.
When the woman who looked like Ofuki Kazuko walked out of the light gate with a sword in her arms, Rhodes was finally certain at that moment.
He drew the most perfect swordsmanship teacher!

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 043 Ten Years Later, Red-Haired Rabid Dog Alice! (Please give me flowers and votes)
On a sunny morning, you can hear the chirping of birds.
“Master, it’s time to get up~”
A pleasant female voice came from the side.
Rhodes rubbed his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.
The pretty maid was wearing a black and white high-necked Gothic maid outfit. The black high-heeled boots made her look very heroic. Her waist-length golden hair was casually draped over her shoulders and down to her waist.
Rod yawned.
“What? It’s Shiloh…”
Xiludi puffed up her cheeks and pretended to be jealous.
“Your Majesty, are you reluctant to part with Miss Rita? How about you ask Miss Rita to continue to be your personal maid?”
Ten years have passed since the three consecutive summons that day.
Five years ago, Rita had to take on the duties of an administrator around the clock because of Arcadia’s rapid development and rapidly expanding land area.
So she recommended Xiludi, who had more free time, to serve as Rhodes’ personal maid.
Although both Xiludi and Rita have bangs covering their eyes, they have very different personalities.
Rita is the type who would argue with Rod because of his willfulness, but perhaps because of her maid devil roots, Shiludi is quite doting on Rod.
“How could that be? I love every girl in the palace equally!”
“So… my lovely Sylvia, please let me sleep a little longer…”
After finishing his scumbag speech as a matter of course, Rhodes rolled up the blanket and lay down on the bed again.
Xiludi put her hands on her hips helplessly.
“This month’s allotment of spoiled behavior has been used up~”
“Besides, Master, you don’t want Miss Alice to wake you up, do you?”
Rhodes’ dizzy head suddenly became clear.
He rubbed his eyes, kicked the blanket off wordlessly, and muttered something in annoyance.
“Damn it! I shouldn’t have let Charlotte bring that unruly girl back home!”
Xiludi smiled and took Rhodes’ hand, led him to the bathroom, and wiped his cheek with a wet towel.
“You’ve said this three thousand six hundred times. After all, you’re the one who dotes on her the most in the palace~”
Alice was brought back by Charlotte three years after she left.
Charlotte Corday traveled in the Kingdom of Asura, carrying out the assassination plan assigned by Rhodes while planning a kidnapping plot.
She happened to see the notice that the Greylat family was recruiting teachers, so she decided to apply.
Although Alice was still young at that time, her notoriety was already known far and wide.
The eldest daughter of the noble Greyrat family, the granddaughter of the lord of Fitoya territory, and the daughter of the mayor of the capital city of Roya, she possesses multiple buffs.
I have to deal with a brainless and doting grandfather again.
At a young age, Alice became a wild, rude, and strong woman with well-developed limbs. She was secretly ridiculed and excluded by all the self-proclaimed civilized nobles.
Alice has neither of the two standard qualities of a rich lady: dignified manners and great talent.
Alice was even expelled from the aristocratic school she attended because of her violent personality and frequent violent attacks on others, and was given the nickname “Mad Dog” by those around her.
All five of Alice’s former tutors resigned due to her violence.
Until Charlotte arrived.
Charlotte’s class as an assassin prevented Alice from succeeding in any sneak attack.
But Alice is like a stubborn bull. She keeps fighting despite repeated failures and never knows how to give in.
With the permission of the other party’s father, Charlotte used her ability to block the breath to fight back every time she was attacked, scaring Alice half to death every time.
Every time she fought back, Charlotte would forcefully tell the story of a boy the same age as Alice.
The previous king died in battle, the country is weak and the ruler is young, surrounded by wolves.
How a young boy grows up step by step from a desperate situation where he is almost certain to die.
Rectify the bureaucracy, train the army, rebuild the city, and establish a chamber of commerce.
Eventually, a small country that was far inferior to Roya City was developed into a party that could not be ignored in the conflict zone.
Alice and Charlotte’s attack game lasted for a whole year.
In the end, Alice was not sure whether she did this for revenge or just to understand the boy better.
Alice went from scoffing at the beginning to gradually becoming curious, and later even developing a subtle sense of admiration for the boy’s amazing wisdom.
Although she herself has always refused to admit this.
Half a year later, a fat minister of the Kingdom of Asura coveted Alice and sent a large number of assassins to join forces with the butler as an insider to try to kidnap her.
Charlotte unleashed her Noble Phantasm in front of Elise for the first time.
After witnessing the battle, Alice became well-behaved in front of Charlotte.
Charlotte took this opportunity to explain her purpose to Alice’s father.
It was originally just an attempt, but unexpectedly the other party actually agreed after considering it for three days, but the condition was that Alice’s grandfather must be kept in the dark when sending her away.
Whether it was out of concern for his daughter’s situation or the aristocratic nature of a shrewd investment in the future.
Anyway, since then, the red-haired mad dog arrived in Arcadia, which she had always been curious about.
Rhodes washed up with the help of Xiludi, changed into casual home clothes, and went to the hall together.
Compared to the environment ten years ago that made the homeless people feel like they were home, the lobby has become much more luxurious now.
Huge white stone pillars support the four-story building, and a five-meter-long giant crystal chandelier hangs straight down from the high ceiling into the air.
The murals on the roof and the statues on both sides were created by famous artists.
Exquisite carpets with various patterns cover the corridors and rooms.
Rhodes walked straight to the white jade chair. As soon as he sat down, he heard the red-haired girl snort in dissatisfaction.
“Too slow! Even though he’s grown up, Rhode still likes to sleep in!”
Rhodes rolled up his sleeves and began his daily pre-meal tasks with great momentum.
Bicker with Alice!
“Hehe, I don’t know who it was, but he always liked to sleep with me until three years ago. Once we’re apart, he starts crying.”
Alice crossed her arms, her face flushed red as she glared at Rhodes.
“Nah, nagging!”
“That woman just praised me for my rapid progress. Be careful, I’ll surpass you and beat you up!”
Rhodes covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.
“I say, she is our teacher after all, you should respect her more!”
Alice pursed her lips, turned her head and snorted.
“I don’t admit that guy is my teacher!”
Rhodes looked at Gileno who was sitting next to Alice.
In the palace, besides Rhodes and Charlotte, Gilena and Alice have the best relationship.
It might be true that the Greyrat family has a gene that favors beastmen.
However, Gilenu also gave a helpless expression.
After all, this girl will do what she has set her mind to, even if it means getting hurt.
“I’m full, I’m going out to practice swordplay!”
Although she was still rude, Alice still saluted Rhodes obediently before striding out aggressively.
Standing beside Rhodes, Xiludi couldn’t help but be curious and leaned over to ask in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, why is Miss Alice so hostile to Captain Unohana?”
“Captain Unohana is the gentlest person I’ve ever met. Would she even get into a conflict with a child?”
Rhodes scratched his head and took a sip of hot milk, looking a little embarrassed.
“This may be related to me.”

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 044 Rhodes and Unohana Retsu’s fierce battle, Alice vows to kill Unohana Retsu (please give me flowers and votes)
When Alice first arrived in Arcadia, she happened to see that the neighboring country was at war with Arcadia.
The Mercenary State of Malqiyuan, located in the north, is composed purely of adventurers and mercenaries, and its economic focus is on sending mercenaries to fight.
The Malqiyuan Mercenary State and its two neighboring states, the Dikut Kingdom and the Broz Empire, were bribed by the king of a certain great power at a high price, and they plan to work together to destroy Arcadia, which has been causing a lot of trouble recently.
In their view, it would not take much effort for the three countries to attack a small country together.
They were looking forward to the bounty promised by the king of a great country, and they declared defiantly that they would raze Elseran to the ground and plunder the women in the city.
These remarks completely angered several girls who had originally planned to train.
So the vanguard general, whom they had high hopes for, had his head cut off by an ice-blue sickle in the midst of thousands of troops.
The vanguard of more than 10,000 people was slaughtered in less than half a day by the woman who smiled and wielded a long sword.
The three kingdoms were shocked and angry, and desperately mobilized 50,000 troops to surround Elseran.
That day, the people of Arcadia witnessed their young monarch take action in person for the first time.
Rhodes paced slowly in the air, raised his hand and created three thousand magic crystals filled with lightning magic, surrounding the 50,000-strong army, and then waved his right hand expressionlessly.
“Forbidden Magic: Divine Palace!”
Boom boom boom——
Countless golden thunders reached the ground faster than sound, stirring up all things in the sky like divine punishment, forming a sacred and majestic pillar of thunder light that connected the sky and the earth.
The torrent of heat roared across the earth, releasing terrifying magic power that was enough to destroy everything, evaporating everything in the wilderness!
In just a blink of an eye, not even a trace of those living soldiers was left.
When young Alice saw this scene, her legs collapsed to the ground weakly, but deep in her eyes was filled with fanatical longing for that figure.
She knew that she had made the right decision to give up everything in her hometown and come here!
Afterwards, Rhodes met with Alice.
Alice stiffly performed an awkward ceremony, feeling both nervous and excited.
Even though she was called a beast, she knew that the person in front of her was someone she could not afford to offend, both in terms of strength and status.
However, when she did so, Rhodes looked confused.
As Alice stayed in the palace for a long time, the filter in her heart gradually shattered.
Because the man who was revered like a god in the outside world was actually acting like a spoiled child with the maid in the palace every day because he stayed in bed all the time!
He would happily play hide-and-seek with the little maids, suddenly jump out and scare the little maids into tears, and then immediately hug them with an apologetic look on his face.
He would push all the work onto Miss Rita and then lie in the garden and do nothing.
He would quarrel with the chubby-faced elf lady for a whole day until they both fell asleep sitting up, and then the big mushroom lady would helplessly coax them back to their respective beds.
Sometimes she would secretly pay attention to Rhode’s every move, and then sneer at his childishness with disdain, but the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, and she felt a little envious in her heart.
Later, Rhode discovered Alice’s peeking and started to tease her.
At first, Alice kept giving in due to etiquette and deep fear in her heart.
As a result, Rhodes continued to provoke her again and again.
Finally one day, Alice couldn’t bear it anymore and punched Rhodes hard with a roar.
Although Rhode easily caught the punch, Alice stood there at a loss.
Fear, confusion, and panic.
She once again recalled the terrifying figure that controlled thunder, her body trembled involuntarily, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
When Rhodes slowly reached out his hand to her, Alice closed her eyes in despair, as if she saw herself turning into ashes.
However, Rhodes just touched her head gently and said with relief.
“Yes, this is the Alice I want to see.”
“A rabid dog that will never yield should not be kept in a cage.”
“I grant you the power to be willful to me. This is a privilege that belongs only to Alice~”
Alice sniffled and sobbed, tears in her eyes, and opened her eyes in disbelief.
Rhodes smiled and took out a cute life-size doll from behind and handed it to Alice.
“But I’m a king after all, and sometimes I have to deal with inconvenience. If Alice can’t help but want to vent her anger at that time, then she can beat it up on my behalf.”
Alice hugged the Rhodes doll tightly, biting her lower lip, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
“Fool……”
From then on, Alice returned to her original nature and boldly started bickering with Rhode.
From time to time, she would even rush out like a nuclear warhead to compete with him. Although she never succeeded, she always refused to admit defeat and said she would come again next time.
But privately, she took the initiative to ask Lilya for guidance, learning the royal etiquette and making sure she would never embarrass Rhodes in formal occasions!
The distance between Rhode and Alice rapidly narrowed from then on.
Because Rhode surpassed Alice in every aspect, as if he could do anything.
Therefore, although she was very tough on the outside, Alice proudly believed in her heart that Rhodes was invincible and the strongest!
She depended on, admired and trusted Rhodes.
Until that day.
As usual, Rhodes practiced swordsmanship with his teacher Unohana Retsu.
As the greatest villain in the history of Soul Society, Unohana Retsu boasts of mastering all schools and sword styles in the world.
Her swordsmanship incorporates the strengths of various schools, yet is not bound by conventional appearances.
Whether it’s the [Scimitar Slashing Technique] that deploys one’s own body, or the [Dark Sword] that attacks with the hidden blade in the left hand.
Both emphasize the kendo philosophy of using all of one’s abilities solely to kill the enemy.
Rhodes quite likes this kind of swordsmanship.
Unlike the Qiba School of the Northern God School that uses every possible means, nor like the Sword God School that pursues extremely fast attacks, it requires more development of oneself to the extreme.
This is why Rhodes thinks she is his most perfect teacher.
Even if Rhodes had the Six-Eyed Copy, it would still take him quite a long time to learn all of Unohana Retsu’s sword techniques.
Unohana Retsu noticed the self-restraints caused by Rhodes’ respect for her, and she began to think about letting Rhodes break the shackles.
So the fight between the two people went from a sparring match at the beginning to an extremely fierce killing situation later.
Rhodes entered a state of unity between man and nature, and used all the sword skills he had learned, even suppressing Unohana Retsu at one point.
So Unohana Retsu couldn’t help but lose control.
The bad nature of enjoying fighting is completely released because of the joy of seeing prey.
She truly saw Rhodes as an opponent who could kill her, and she couldn’t help but release her Bankai.
The battle ended with Rhodes almost completely killing Unohana Retsu with his full strength.
Rod returned to the palace exhausted.
Alice was excited to fight Rhode as usual, but she was stunned when she saw Rhode’s wounded body.
“Who is it! Who attacked you?!”
Alice, her face filled with excitement, shook Rhodes’ shoulders vigorously.
“It’s okay.”
“How can it be okay!”
Rhodes wanted to fool him, but the stubborn Alice kept asking him several times.
In the end, Rhodes had no choice but to tell the whole story.
“That’s nothing!”
Alice angrily picked up the sword and was about to rush out.
“How dare she attack you? I can’t forgive her. I’m going to kill that guy!”
He clearly knew how formidable an opponent was who could fight with Rhodes to such an extent.
But that’s what the red-haired rabid dog did!

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 045 Alice: I will surpass you and then kill you! (Please give me flowers and votes)
In the end, Rhode persuaded Alice, who was so furious that her red hair was flying, and reluctantly gave up the idea.
However, after Rhodes went back to rest, she still quietly went to Unohana Retsu’s residence.
Unohana Retsu sat cross-legged in the empty living room, stroking the scar on his neck in a daze.
She was summoned when she was feeling lonely despite being invincible in the field of kendo.
Unohana Retsu also did not meet the child from Zaraki Street.
Rhodes was one of the few people in her life who made her fear from the bottom of her heart.
That’s right, fear!
Even the old man didn’t make her feel this way from the bottom of her heart.
“I messed up… That kid won’t be mad at me, but I still need to apologize. Otherwise, I should use my new cooking skills to tease Rhode~”
Unohana Retsu sighed helplessly, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise.
“After all, I have no choice~”
“At that moment, a terrible thought suddenly came into my mind.”
“If I don’t fight you with all my strength now, I’m afraid it won’t be long before I lose the qualifications to fight you…”
It wasn’t so much that Unohana Retsu released her Bankai because she lost control, but rather that she did so subconsciously out of fear at the fatal threat posed by Rhodes.
Thinking of this, Unohana Retsu suddenly felt a little lost.
“I’ve also betrayed my promise to Ms. Rita… It seems I’m not the one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with you…”
After a brief silence, Unohana Retsu suddenly spoke.
“Little guy, you’ve been standing at the door for so long, and you haven’t restrained your murderous intent at all. Are you planning to fight me?”
“snort……”
Alice no longer hid, and rushed directly towards Unohana Retsu with her wooden sword.
Unohana Retsu narrowed his eyes slightly.
It’s really a perfect murderous aura, but it’s a pity that I can’t control it.
Unohana Retsu stretched out his index finger and easily smashed the wooden sword into pieces.
The winner has been decided… Generally speaking, this is the case.
Just when Unohana Retsu thought the other party would stop, Alice shouted and flew towards Unohana Retsu with bare hands.
She reflexively slashed at Alice’s neck with the dark sword in her left hand, but fortunately she reacted at the last moment and used the back of the blade.
The impact that almost broke her tibia caused Alice to spit blood and almost faint.
However, even so… Alice still did not stop.
“Haaaaaaah!”
Alice aimed her fist at Unohana Retsu’s chin.
Unohana Retsu noticed her intention and tried to take it with his right hand.
However, Alice actually tried to grab her hand and bite it hard with her teeth.
At this moment, Unohana Retsu realized that the girl in front of him was a beast who would not stop fighting until her death.
“Rod… is the strongest!”
Alice roared hoarsely from the bottom of her throat!
At this moment, she was already firmly restrained by Unohana Retsu, and even if she tried her best and veins popped out on her forehead, it was of no use.
When Unohana Retsu heard her words, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled faintly.
“Yeah, he’s the strongest.”
Hearing this, Alice snorted and stopped resisting.
“I want you to take me as your apprentice!”
Most people would probably be surprised by Alice’s train of thought. How could she suddenly rush up to attack him and then unceremoniously ask her to accept him as her disciple?
But Unohana Retsu just asked with a smile.
“What’s the reason?”
Alice was silent for a long time, her voice low.
“Rod is the strongest, but he can get hurt.”
“I was ridiculed as an incorrigible red monkey in my hometown, but Rod was willing to tolerate my willfulness.”
“So, I want to protect him and prevent him from getting hurt again.”
Unohana Retsu kicked Alice away with a cold tone.
“You’re lying!”
Alice somersaulted awkwardly on the ground, glaring at Unohana Retsu angrily, ignoring the trembling murderous aura, and roared.
“You actually hurt Rhodes, I hate you!”
“I know I’m very weak now. I can’t do anything, and I can’t learn anything. The only thing I have is great strength!”
“So I’m going to learn all your sword techniques, surpass you, and then, kill you!!!”
Unohana Retsu was stunned, and the feeling of pleasure was completely released from the depths of his soul, spreading to every limb and bone, and his whole body was trembling with excitement!
interesting.
So interesting!
Everyone felt despair just by looking at that dazzling figure.
No one would have the arrogant idea of chasing after him.
But the red-haired beast in front of him did just that, and even… said in front of him that he wanted to kill him.
“You are the dumbest person I have ever met.”
Unohana Retsu drew out his Zanpakutō and pressed it against Alice’s forehead.
Alice bit her lip and stared at Unohana Retsu unyieldingly.
The Zanpakutō’s Shikai transformed into a huge, flat, single-eyed flying object, swallowing Alice who tried to resist in one gulp.
“So, I’ve decided that from today on, I will be your master.”
“Remember what you said, if you can’t kill me, then I will kill you!”
From that day on, the two mentally unstable people became an extremely awkward master and apprentice relationship.
In the days that followed, Unohana Retsu felt increasingly happy as she watched Alice grow rapidly under her training.
This is the normal growth rate of a genius!
Privately, she was quite satisfied with her disciple Alice, believing that she could truly inherit her mantle and even surpass her.
A pervert like Rhodes, who could learn swordsmanship just by watching for a few seconds, was a monster that ordinary people could not understand and could not be generalized at all.
So Rhodes had been kicked out of the sect by her capriciously.
As for whether she thought she was unworthy of being called a teacher by Rhodes, or for other complicated reasons, only the gentle Sister Hua herself knew.
Rod sipped his milk thirstily.
After telling this story, he felt mixed emotions.
Xiludi also suddenly realized.
No wonder His Majesty dotes on Miss Alice so much.
It turns out that this kind of thing happened without me knowing it.
“Then, Your Majesty, have you now completely surpassed Captain Unohana?”
Rhodes shrugged his shoulders and smiled without saying anything.
“Who knows?”
046 Arcadia Overall Rating B+, News About Roxy Appears! (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old Version)
The unlimited defense mechanism is indeed almost invincible.
Apart from the so-called mechanical killing methods such as the slash to the world, Unohana Retsu, as a swordsman, has almost no way to deal with him.
Especially since Sister Hua’s Zanpakutō Bankai is not a bug-level mechanism.
But Rhodes knew very well that this did not mean he was invincible.
The principle of no lower limit is the Achilles paradox, but in fact this paradox has long been falsified.
To put it simply, having no lower limit means that the actual distance of one meter can be divided into two infinitely, thus creating a phenomenon where you are always approaching but unable to reach it.
But in fact, if the distance is only one meter, an ordinary person can cross it in one step.
What really makes No Bottom Line seem unsolvable is actually Rhode’s magical power that can make Fulilian silent.
Assuming that the original limitless power could only accommodate a distance of one meter at most, what he was displaying now could accommodate several thousand or even tens of thousands of meters!
If one day Rhodes’s magic power reaches infinity, then perhaps no lower limit will also transform into no upper limit.
So for now, if someone’s magic power crushes Rhodes, then the no-bottom-limit rule will be invalid.
Rhodes has been improving his abilities in all aspects in order to avoid being caught in obvious flaws.
He was thinking about when to go to Sister Hua to practice swordsmanship again while enjoying the delicious food.
Today’s breakfast is fried eggs, pickled river fish, tofu soup and dragon meat seven-star roast.
A standard breakfast combination for middle-aged and elderly people in Japan.
It’s obviously Sister Hua’s work.
Rhodes picked out the green peppers from the Seven Star Roast, put them into Gileno’s bowl, and watched with delight as Gileno’s tail twirled around in a tangle.
“Is Qixing Shao (Seven Stars Roast) a popular dish among the common people recently?”
As a personal maid, Xiludi had a lot of miscellaneous information stored in her mind and answered immediately.
“Yes, there are at least eight restaurants in the country that specialize in Chishiosaki.”
“The boss behind the scenes is Sonya, who hands over most of her sales revenue to the state every year.”
“Not long ago, Captain Unohana led a team in an attempt to find the secret passage leading to the Asura Kingdom that you mentioned, but ended up disturbing a group of red dragons.”
“So… the latest Seven Stars Roast has been upgraded to a luxurious dish called dragon meat.”
The so-called Seven Stars Roast is actually meat wrapped in flour or rice flour batter and then fried in high-temperature oil.
Although it cannot be considered high-end, it was previously only popular in the area from the former Wanglong Kingdom to the Zika Kingdom.
Except for countries that have access to large amounts of edible oil, it seems quite difficult to actually produce it elsewhere.
And now the people of Arcadia can also enjoy this delicacy.
By seeing the big picture from the small details, Rhodes could clearly understand how wealthy the people of Arcadia had become in the past ten years.
Perhaps, he is also worthy of being called a wise king.
Rhodes glanced at the system panel that had not appeared for a long time.
Social Stability: B (No risk of civil unrest, but the three kingdoms are wary of it, and war may break out at any time.)
Military Ability: A (Military application of Onii-do, formation of Kaido healing units, inoculation of knight units with stigmata, wholesale Valkyrie armor… Your technology path is a bit strange, but powerful enough.)
Culture and Technology: B (Although you don’t have a distinctive culture, the weekend tradition you created has spread throughout the world. Hated by the nobility and beloved by the common people, you are destined to go down in history.)
Economic Prosperity: A (With magic crystals and unique minerals as anchors, vigorously developing industrial smelting, the country has embarked on the road to prosperity.)
Political Management: C (There’s a massive talent shortage, and functional departments are already operating at full capacity. Please feel sorry for your maid.)
International Influence: B (You have bribed a large number of foreign nobles with money, but the rise of your country has attracted the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes, and a crisis is brewing.)
Overall rating: B+
[Overall Comment: This is an unrecognized regime, but it can no longer be ignored. You have successfully saved your country.]Well… not bad.
Over the past decade, Arcadia has occupied one-third of the disputed area.
To the west is the Chilong Mountains, and across the mountains is the Asura Kingdom.
It borders the Lingus Sea to the east and the Kingdom of Shillong to the south. The two countries are currently in a tense standoff.
In fact, with Arcadia’s current strength, it would be easy for it to sweep across the entire conflict zone and even conquer the three vassal states of the Kingdom of King Dragon.
But the problem lies in governance. Rhodes doesn’t want to use those disgusting local nobles, so he can only wait for the trained intellectuals to grow up.
However, since Rhodes has become the King of Durability with a lifespan of ten thousand years, he is not in a hurry about this matter.
Rodan nodded with satisfaction and then started drinking the tofu soup.
Xiludi understood, took out the notebook, and began the routine report.
Let’s start with the girl that His Majesty cares about the most.
“Lady Rita has to deal with the farmland outside this morning. The monsters are in their estrus period recently and have destroyed a lot of farmland.”
“Sonia used the special channels she has operated for many years to smuggle white rice seeds from the Kingdom of Wanglong. This should be the kind of rice you want. Lady Rita is currently researching how to grow it.”
The staple food of the nobles in this world is only noodles. The Wanglong Kingdom is a rare country that produces rice, but that kind of rice is not tasty and needs further improvement.
Rhodes had been eating bread and cakes for more than ten years and was almost tired of it. When he heard the news about rice, he couldn’t help but applaud excitedly.
“Okay, okay, if it succeeds, serve it up right away.”
Xiludi covered her mouth and laughed, then continued.
“Ms. Sylphy and Miss Phelan are still practicing magic.”
“Lady Fulilian attempted to abandon her duties as Vice Principal of the Magic School and escape, but was captured three times by the treasure chest monster you placed at the door of her dormitory. She was finally rescued by Lady Lilia who happened to be passing by.”
Sylphy and his parents came to Arcadia two years after Alice’s arrival.
Their family status is low, and Sylphy is often insulted in the village because of her green hair.
After confirming that Charlotte’s invitation was indeed genuine, they decisively moved here together.
Fulilian and Firren came to Elseran two months after Guval was unsealed ten years ago.
During the journey, Fulilian often tried to stop at certain places to collect magic, but was eventually forcibly dragged to Arcadia by the worried Philen.
They immediately met with Rhodes and learned that Guval was not unsealed by the demon magician, so they wanted to leave.
Even though Lilia confirmed that Fulilian was the magic teacher that the late king had agreed to assign to Rhodes, Fulilian only agreed to stay for five years.
However, Rhodes then used his unique Thunder Dragon Slayer magic to easily and completely trap Fulilian.
Rhodes also meticulously designed a merit point exchange system, combined with the imagined magic academy’s success rate as performance appraisal, forcing this homebody to become a 996 office worker.
Frelian couldn’t bear it many times and wanted to slip away, but was later attracted by Unohana Retsu’s various Kidō, Būdō and Kaidō techniques, and stayed with a bitter face to continue working as a teacher in the magic school.
Behind the scenes, Rhodes smiled and gripped his fishing rod tightly, using endless carrots to lure Fleury into training magicians for the entire Arcadia.
“Miss Lingling, accompanied by Lady Senis, is practicing strength control near the Red Dragon Mountains.”
“There’s still no trace of Miss Luo Qixi, but we’ve found her hometown in the Demon Continent. Perhaps we can get some information about her there.”
Rhodes’ eyes narrowed and he looked up suddenly.
“Give me the map, I’ll go there myself!”
[The picture shows Sylphy, who has entered the original timeline. The girls’ personal relationships will be gradually expanded later. However, does anyone have any recommendations for strong female characters in the business field?

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 047 Jealous Fulilian, the True Value of Roxy (Please give me flowers and votes)
On the streets of Elserland.
The road paved with stone slabs is neat and clean, with a large number of three- or four-story buildings on both sides of the road.
A wide variety of shops constitute the first element of a city’s prosperity.
There is a constant flow of people coming and going.
The simple carriage moved slowly.
Not the kind driven by farmers or street vendors, but a carriage designed to carry people.
The interior of the box-shaped cabin is designed to accommodate four people sitting opposite each other.
But considering Rhodes’ usual travel standards, it was still too shabby.
The silver-haired elf spoke leisurely.
“Just bear with it. For ordinary people, this is already a luxury as a means of transportation.”
Rhodes looked down at the parchment in his hand with a frown, and said without raising his head.
“Although I like to enjoy life, I am not the type who cannot endure hardship.”
Originally, Rhodes planned to set off immediately after receiving the information from Xiludi.
However, when Fulilian found out, she suddenly said that she would give him a ride and planned to tell him the location of the transfer magic circle that she had hidden for many years.
Although Rhodes was surprised by Fulilian’s sudden decision, he immediately agreed.
After all, if he were to travel physically, no matter whether he chose to cross the ocean or follow the coastline, he would be exhausted to death.
With something as convenient as a magic transfer circle, of course we should make good use of it.
Fulilian hugged her legs and rested her chin on her knees.
“You’re so unlovable, you’re nothing like Philen and Sylphy.”
When Freelian first met Sylphy, she almost thought she was a demon because of her green hair and started a fight with her.
But now looking at her satisfied expression, the relationship between the two of them is as good as that of mother and daughter.
Yes, Sylphy plays the role of a mother!
After Philen, there is now another co-parenting mother and daughter of Fulilian, which is a cause for celebration!
“And you should be a little more respectful to me. We’re both teachers, and you’ve been very kind to Unohana-san~”
Rhodes looked up at Fulilian, who had an expressionless face, in surprise.
“I say, are you jealous?”
Fulilian pouted expressionlessly.
“……I don’t.”
Rhodes glanced at Fulilian’s regretful heart and shook his head regretfully.
“Sister Hua is someone who can become my mother, but you, Fulilian, don’t have that kind of heart…”
Fulilian remained calm, but judging from her slightly clenched fists, she seemed to care a lot about this statement.
Fulilian turned her head to look out the window and saw people hawking things on the street from time to time.
“I remember this place was just a run-down little village before, and it has become so prosperous in such a short time. You have done very well, and you are worthy of being my disciple.”
Rhodes did not refute Fulilian’s words of taking the credit for himself, but just lowered his head and continued to examine the parchment.
“It’s been ten years, after all.”
Fulilian narrowed her eyes slightly.
“Ten years? Isn’t that just a while ago?”
“…For elves like you, whose lifespans are nearly immortal, ten years is like the blink of an eye.”
“Don’t talk about this as if it has nothing to do with you.”
Speaking of which, both of Rhodes’ teachers can be considered immortals.
Unohana Retsu lives in Soul Society, and if he is not killed, he will be immortal.
He was bound forever in that small place of Soul Society, and was oppressed by a group of mentally retarded nobles.
The same scenery repeated countless times, no wonder she chose death.
Fulilian is also an elf with an unimaginable lifespan, and she finds it difficult to understand human emotions.
Rhodes and Fulilian’s relationship was dull, but not distant.
He always seemed like he was being chased by something, but unexpectedly he became particularly lazy with Fulilian.
Fulilian has not yet been prompted by the system to be collected.
Rhodes was not anxious at all, but he trusted Fulilian just like everyone else.
Fulilian suddenly asked curiously.
“Is the girl you’re looking for really that important? Is it worth traveling thousands of miles to find even a clue?”
Rhodes answered without hesitation.
“Well, I used to think that Luo Qixi was only important as a superior, but then I realized that she should be the top one.”
Yes, Roxy’s value is not S, but should be above S!
Over the past ten years, Rhodes has collected a lot of monster materials, magic accessories, and magic tools, but the number of important figures in his collection has not increased significantly.
After all, the conflict zone is an extremely dangerous and xenophobic area, and no normal person would have the time to come here to play.
Excluding people like Fulilian who stayed with him but did not trigger the collection.
There are not many original characters who join him.
First: Lilia’s father, E-level reward.
Under Rhodes’s persuasion, Lilia chose to return to her hometown and invite her father to Arcadia.
Now he is the director of the sword training hall under the Education Department, responsible for teaching sword skills to the adopted orphans.
Although the dojo in his hometown would no longer have an heir, he had trained more disciples, and his former gloomy face had now turned into a high-spirited one.
Second place: Sylphy’s father, Roltz, D-level reward.
He is now the head of the Royal Capital Public Security Office, responsible for handling public security issues such as theft and fighting in the Royal Capital.
He doesn’t have much talent in combat, but because of his elven blood, his senses are exceptionally sharp, making him capable of doing this job.
Rhodes never drew the rewards from these two.
As the country’s overall rating rises, the original low-level random rewards become designated exchanges.
However, since Rhodes has not figured out how to maximize its use, he has not used it yet.

Zongman: From No Job to Becoming a Collector King: 048 Fulilian’s Knee Pillow, the Elf’s Service (Please give me flowers and votes)
Third place: Talhand, A-level reward.
The dwarf who was invited by Gilenu is now the deputy minister of the Ministry of Heavenly Works, responsible for the research and development of tools in the infrastructure field.
His combat ability is only B-level, but his forging talent is amazing.
If there hadn’t been an even more perverted guy later, Rhodes would have made him the head of the Tiangong Department.
As for the more powerful guy.
It was Tsubaki Kobrand who was summoned by the A-level summoning card labeled Dwarf!
From the world of Dungeon Encounter, he once belonged to the Hephaestus clan and served as the leader.
With an adventurer level of lv5, she is one of the few top fighters in Arcadia!
Today, Rhodes has entrusted the research and development of Valkyrie armor and Knight armor to the most powerful blacksmith in Orario.
At first she still missed the former main goddess Hephaestus, but now she has become a fool with only Soul Steel in her mind.
It is worth mentioning that Tsubaki has a very good relationship with Fulilian.
Maybe Fulilian reminded Tsubaki of a friend in her old world.
Rhodes moved next to Fulilian and gently nudged her with his elbow.
Fulilian tilted her head in confusion, but then an idea occurred to her. She stretched out her legs with a wicked grin, then patted her thighs triumphantly.
Even though he says that I’m not qualified to be his mother, he still acts like a spoiled child to me!
“I really can’t do anything about you. Rhodes is still a child after all, and Philen is no longer old enough to use his knees as a pillow~”
“Haha, with the age difference between us, I will always be a child in front of you.”
“…Should I be happy to hear that?”
There was a very delicate touch coming from the back of my head.
Unlike the maids who were lively and healthy because of exercise, Fulilian’s thighs were soft, sweet and a little fleshy.
Rhodes secretly laughed at the fat elf who neglected exercise in his heart, completely forgetting who trapped her by his side.
Fulilian pinched Rhodes’ fair cheek with her cool fingers and volunteered to restore Rhodes’ dignity as an elder.
“Be good, lie on your side, I’ll clean your ears~”
It was a rare sight for Rhodes to see the elf’s caring side. He took off his magic eye, rolled over curiously and obediently, then slowly closed his eyes.
Although Rhode’s body was almost spotless due to his unscrupulous behavior, and although Fulilian’s bizarre collection also included magic for cleaning ears.
But both of them tacitly did not mention this matter, but quietly enjoyed the time spent as mother and son.
Fulilian used the ear spoon carefully, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
What a strange feeling…
Obviously, Philen and Sylphy usually behave more like children than Rhodes.
But only in front of him, I feel the need to take care of him.
This strange experience made Fulilian confused, but she was unknowingly addicted to it.
Rhodes enjoyed the elf’s service with satisfaction, and then silently read the system panel in his mind.
In addition to the characters that have been conquered before, the most important ones are the girls.
After being collected by Rhodes, Sylphy, Philen, and Alice were all exciting S-level rewards!
Because the country is becoming more stable, Rhodes chose to summon as many talents as possible by attaching tags.
It should be almost time to successfully summon it now.
“Tongzi, let me check the summoning progress!”
[The first S-level summon card is being summoned…][Tags: Human/Orc/Elf/Magician, Dragon]【Arrival time: two weeks later】
Because of her mixed blood, Sylphy is labeled as human/beast/elf/magician.
Rhodes didn’t dare to imagine what kind of guy he could summon if it was completely random.
There happened to be a large number of dragons in the Red Dragon Mountains, and it would be a waste to slaughter them all, so Rhodes planned to form a dragon cavalry.
Therefore, the dragon tag was added, hoping to summon a powerful magician who can control the dragon clan.
[The second S-level summon card is being summoned…]Tags: magician, research
【Arrival time: one week later】
Phelan’s label is much simpler.
Rhodes is currently studying a magical subject called [Element Manipulation] with Fulilian.
It is not the traditional four elements of earth, fire, water and wind, but a type similar to the modern periodic table.
There is no need to activate elemental particles through ether, but to directly manipulate the elements themselves, which is closer to the ideal perfect alchemy.
This kind of research, which has touched upon the theoretical foundations of the magical world, is incomprehensible to both Sylphy and Philen.
Even Fulilian could only barely understand a few of Rhode’s words, so she needed the assistance of a more intelligent magician.
In order to prevent summoning a stupid demolition specialist like Huihui, Rhodes specifically limited the research type.
Although he also likes the cute Huihui, he can only wait for the next time.
[The third S-rank summon card is being summoned…]【Tags: swordsmanship, powerful】
【Arrival time: three days later】
Alice’s label is also quite simple.
Rhodes hopes to make a breakthrough in swordsmanship.
After continuous experiments, he finally came up with a vague word so that the summoning time would not be too long.
He actually still had some obsession with Altria, but for some reason he could only target her the first time, and it never worked again afterwards, so he had to give up temporarily.
Rhodes kept thinking about various plans for the future in his mind, but he felt so comfortable that he gradually fell asleep.
So he fell asleep with his knees resting on his head.
“Rod, turn around…”
Fulilian paused what she was about to say, sighed softly, and gently stroked Rhodes’ head.
“We have so much time, so why do we have to work so hard?”
Rhodes thought he was using magical attraction to keep Fulilian by his side.
But what he didn’t know was that Fulilian chose to stay because she was attracted to him, who was more mysterious than magic.
The boring work also seemed much more enjoyable because of Rod’s constant creative ideas.
“I never thought before that staying with someone could actually allow me to see more wonderful scenery than traveling.”
I used to travel aimlessly all over the continent, but now I’ve gotten used to calling this place home.
Fulilian had become a stranger to herself.
If the master saw her now, he probably wouldn’t recognize her.
“Hoo… I’m so sleepy, I’ll take a nap too~”
Fulilian lay on Rhodes, and soon her breathing gradually became steady.
049 Breaking News! Fulilian launches a full-strength attack? (Please give me flowers and votes) (Old version)
“Flillian, did you drool after falling asleep?”
“I don’t.”
“So what’s on my sleeve?”
“Rod is so shameless! He’s already a grown boy, and he still wets the bed!”
“Bah! You wet the bed and you peed on your arm!”
“Maybe that’s just how boys are!”
“No! Flillian is an idiot!”
“Bounce!”
“The rebound is ineffective!”
Rhodes complained about Fulilian’s evil deeds with disgust and kicked Fulilian’s butt.
Fulilian also refuted and refused to admit it, while also fighting back with her feet.
As the maid pretended to be blind and stifled her laughter, the two people who got out of the car started to move towards the forest ahead, playing around like childish kids.
The trees in the forest grow quite densely.
The dense foliage blocked out the sunlight, making the entire forest appear dim.
The ground is not ordinary ground. You almost have to walk on huge exposed tree roots, so it is not very stable to walk on.
Rhodes climbed to a high place and reached out to try to pull Fulilian over, but Fulilian attacked him with magic and he easily deflected it with defensive magic.
“Ouch, what are you doing!”
Instead, Fulilian started complaining like a villain.
“It’s all because of the dragon power emanating from you. There’s not even a single monster or insect in sight in this vast forest.”
“Did you notice the Elder Demon Tree that just passed by?”
“It should have been aggressively attacking passersby, but now it’s trembling in fear at your presence, wishing it could grow two legs and run away!”
Rhodes pushed the magic eye on his nose and pondered for a moment.
“There’s even such a thing as the Elder Demonic Tree… I actually forgot about it!”
Simply put, a demonic tree is a tree transformed into a monster.
Any tree that absorbs magic power, mutates, and becomes capable of attacking humans is collectively referred to as a demonic tree.
The Elder Demon Tree is formed by a small demon tree that absorbs nutrients from the Fairy Spring in the big forest and then mutates.
The Fairy Spring contains extremely high concentrations of magical power. It is said that with this power, the Elder Magic Tree will become able to use water magic.
“If we plant the Elder Demon Tree next to the street trees, we won’t need to water and maintain the greenery manually.”
“There are also large magic trees, zombie magic trees, and stone magic trees planted on the periphery. Can’t they also serve as fortifications?”
The more Rhodes thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He patted Fulilian’s shoulder approvingly.
“As expected of my teacher, you actually reminded me of this. I never thought you would show your amazing wisdom one day!”
Fulilian’s expression froze slightly. She coughed lightly and immediately puffed out her chest proudly.
“That’s right. After all, I am your master. So you must respect me and praise me more in the future. Got it?!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
During the rest of the journey, Fulilian continued to gather her magic power and then launched it, launching sneak attacks on Rhodes from all angles.
Although Rhodes was a little confused, seeing that Fulilian looked serious, he simply joined in the fun and treated it all as a game.
Soon, Fulilian realized that even if she used her killer move, it would be difficult to make Rhodes take her seriously.
While she felt frustrated, she couldn’t help but feel proud of Rhodes.
After that, Fulilian began to change her mindset. She hid under the shade of a tree, suppressed her magic power, and kept moving closer and closer, trying to find the blind spot of Rhodes’s magic eye that made her envious.
He released magic again and again, aiming at weak points, but was defended again and again.
As long as we continue this protracted war, we will definitely find a loophole…
“Let’s stop here!”
The two men passed through the forest in attack and defense.
Further ahead is——
Fulilian glanced at the cliff behind her and nodded with satisfaction.
“Very good, Rod, you have cornered me!”
Rhodes spread his hands helplessly and exposed her without any hesitation.
“It was obviously you who took the wrong path and brought yourself into this desperate situation!”
“Stop rambling! Anyway, if you use magic, I can’t defeat you.”
“Oh? Teacher Fulilian, you’ve become arrogant.”
Rhodes asked with a playful expression, his hands in his pockets, and a chuckle.
“You mean, if I don’t use magic, you can defeat me?”
“Okay, from now on, I won’t use any magic.”
Flillian said nothing.
The terrifying amount of magic power broke the seal and stirred up a whirlwind of air that soared into the sky!
Silver hair fluttered in the air, and his eyes shone with astonishing fighting spirit.
Rhodes narrowed his eyes and suppressed his smile.
“That’s quite an exaggerated level of magic power… Well, it’s already one-fifth of my level.”
This is not sarcasm.
The magic power that Fulilian has suppressed for thousands of years is enough to make any magician ashamed and despair.
However, Rhodes is a fantasy species that is even more alien than the elves.
Now he possesses the power of the Thunder Dragon King!
Rhodes decided to respond to his teacher’s fighting spirit with all his strength and made full preparations to meet the attack.
Fulilian suddenly raised her hands.
“Still can’t do it, surrender! I lose!”
“It looks like my whole body is full of holes, but if I attack rashly, I feel like my head will disappear in the next moment.”
“How could I possibly do this to you!”
Rhodes complained helplessly while walking towards Fulilian.
“alright……”
However, the next moment, Fulilian suddenly raised the corner of her mouth provocatively and released a magical slash.
Even so, Rhodes was able to react.
But Fulilian didn’t aim at Rhodes, but slashed at her feet!
Just as Rhodes was stunned, the ground beneath Fulilian’s feet began to collapse.
“Oh my god! What the hell are you kidding me?”
