Chapter 319 Homecoming

The carriage drove slowly across the mountain path, and Rhodes, who was sitting in the carriage, yawned.

Finally, this long ruin adventure is over...

This adventure in the ruins really made him a fortune, not only harvesting nearly a thousand sets of complete armor and weapons, a dozen intact mechanical giants, and nearly a hundred sets of power armor.

Also recruited a good rogue, and a powerful gift mage.

And there is one more "sister"...

Rhodes looked at Philomena who was dozing off on the carriage, and felt that Baron was really messing around.

Philomena may not have noticed the word half-brother, or she still remembered that she had an older brother, so she really regarded Rhodes as her older brother.

Suddenly there was a younger sister tens of thousands of years older than him, which made Rhodes feel very strange.

Those armors and weapons were designed for the body of the Macan, and they needed to be re-melted and forged if they wanted to be used by the soldiers in the territory.

It is not known whether the armor made by human skills can inherit the hard properties of this special metal.

The power armor and the mechanical giant can only be seen there for the time being, and the power armor cannot be used by soldiers because of its small size.

As for those mechanical giants, because Rhodes and the others haven't figured out how to open the cockpit, and don't know how to activate them, they can only put dust for the time being.

Rhodes rewarded all adventurers who had participated in the defense of the ruins with a large amount of money. Although this amount of money was not much for him, it was enough for those adventurers who survived to be smart for a long time.

This approach also helped Rhodes gain a wave of reputation among adventurers. When they go to other places, it is estimated that when they share this experience with other adventurers, they will also help Rhodes in the hearts of other adventurers. Make a very generous impression.

The burly Nords and noble youths who had entered the ruins with them refused the money. They selected a few pieces of metal weapons and equipment from the Macan as rewards and souvenirs, and they also swore an oath to Rhodes, vowing not to give any money to anyone. Disclose information related to this ruin.

As a gift from Alvin, the alien mage Alina did not accept any payment, but only asked Rhodes to build a laboratory for her as a condition for working for him.

Rhodes agreed to her request without even thinking about it. People who can do research are exactly what he needs all the time, and what she researches are all kinds of magic potions. The equipment in the laboratory does not need to cost a lot of money. Buying these The money for the equipment will also be quickly recovered.

The King of Assassins still did a little good, he really killed all the descendants of the Macan.

They were all split in two with a clean blow, and even the armor of the descendants of the Macan in metal armor could not protect them.

This saved Rhodes a lot of time, and he didn't have to lead the army to clean up the descendants of the Macan people.

Because Rhodes killed the demigod of the Mekan people in the ruins, he also gained a [Godslayer] achievement in the system.

He chose to exchange this achievement for a slot in the skill bar, and mounted the Marrow Cleansing Sutra on it.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry!" Philomena, who had been dozing off, suddenly called out, her voice almost returning to normal.

She should be called Mina now, this is her nickname, and it should be the only thing she remembers.

Rhodes remembered that Philomena could be considered her nickname, but her full name was too long. As for her surname, she needed to write a piece of paper to write it down completely.

He rummaged through the space ring for a while, and found a hot bun made by Lorraine.

He didn't know when this bun was stuffed into the interspatial ring, and he planned to save it until he was hungry, but he accidentally forgot it inside.

The buns taken out from the interspatial ring were still steaming hot. The buns were so big that Mina needed two hands to hold them.

"Delicious!" Mina took a bite and exclaimed, the aroma of the buns filled the entire carriage.

Rhodes glanced at the steamed stuffed bun, and remembered when it was made. It was a big beef bun made from the beef that had eaten a lot of hot pot a few days ago.

When it was just out of the cage, it also attracted the bison that was grazing and walking near the castle. It expressed that it wanted to taste it too, but Rhodes stopped it. He was worried that the bison would suffer from mad cow disease.

In the recent period of time, the relationship between Rhodes and Bison has become better. Bison has re-chosen a kind of emotion as its source of strength, accumulating from scratch, this time it chose happiness.

After a brief thought, it decided to stay with Rhodes, where it can not only collect a lot of emotions it needs, but also eat and drink, so it also took the initiative to sign a contract with Rhodes.

That's why Rhodes dared to leave it in the castle with peace of mind, and brought Baron and a large group of soldiers to the ruins.

The buffalo also helped Rhodes solve another problem. It persuaded many cattle of its clan to pull plows for the residents of Rhodes' territory. In exchange, they would be protected and cared for by humans.

"Is one enough?" Rhodes asked.

Mina nodded. She ate the steamed stuffed bun without any time to answer Rhode's question.

The carriage swayed all the way to the small town at the foot of the mountain, and stopped in front of a grocery store. Rhodes got off the carriage and walked into the tavern.

The grocery store was bought by Gilbert as his laboratory and residence.

Rhodes opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered, he saw several alchemy apprentices busily shuttling inside, looking for alchemy materials.

"My lord!" An apprentice stopped after seeing Rhodes, and stood there to greet him.

This is the second time they have seen Rhodes.

"Where is your mentor?" Rhodes asked, and a head came in behind him.

Mina looked inside curiously. Since she came out of the ruins, she has been very curious about everything around her.

"The mentor is on the second floor." The alchemy apprentice was amazed by Mina's appearance, and silently vowed in his heart that he would become a noble lord or transfer a lot of money.

Rhodes nodded, and then walked to the second floor.

The space on the second floor is a whole without any walls as partitions.

Rhodes saw Gilbert leaning on a chair with his back to them.

He walked over, and Gilbert, who was stubbled and decadent, leaned back on the chair and stared at the setting sun in the distance in a daze.

"Don't blame yourself, I've found out the matter, all of this has nothing to do with your blasting." Rhode comforted.

If those adventurers hadn't pushed open the door of the hall of the lifting platform, even if Gilbert blew a big hole above the ruins, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Gilbert's eyes regained focus, looking at Rhodes bathed in the setting sun.

"The gunpowder you modified is not bad. It is very useful whether it is used to explode mountains and mines, or to use it on the battlefield." Rhodes said again.

"Sigh." Gilbert sighed, "You don't need to comfort me, this matter must have something to do with me, because I want to conduct an experiment, that's why I woke up those sleeping creatures in the ruins."

Rhodes drew a chair from the side, sat on it and said, "I don't blame you, let me tell you about what's going on in this ruin."...
