The Last Dark King

Latest website: That is a group of hunters.

It seems that he was hired by a secret branch to cooperate with the students to perform a special mission somewhere.

Rhodes suddenly thought that he also had a hunter's license, which he had purchased in order to leave the academy. After completing the sewer trip, he had kept it in a corner, almost forgotten.

The Hunter Regiment is a free-for-hire regiment. It is a corps established by the royal city to accommodate some specific groups of people. It is used for flexible transfer, filling the vacancies of the formal corps, and reducing administrative pressure.

Rhodes suddenly realized, isn't this a place tailor-made for me?

The missions of the hunter group are mostly issued by the military war department, various defense zones or settlements. Occasionally, they are also issued by individuals, but no matter who the employer is, they must have clear goals and intelligence.

In this way, wouldn’t I know where there are monsters suitable for me to hunt?

Wouldn't it be enough to take on a mission, find a few companions, and use "Psychic Quintet" or "Soul Crit" at the right time?

There are rewards to be had.

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

I can choose the prey that suits me and decide which tasks I will perform and which tasks I will not perform. Isn’t this much more efficient?

As soon as he said it, Rhodes decided to set off.

Members of the secret branch can take leave.

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

It was quite helpful for him here, so Rhodes naturally would not quit. He just said he was too tired and couldn't bear it mentally, and hoped to take some time off to rest.

The specific training of the members with the "Strong" logo is in charge of Sauron. He is a clean, tall and thin man who always wears a knight's armor no matter where he goes.

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

After hearing Rhodes' request, he focused his eyes on his face.

"I have studied your previous behaviors. Your record in Sword Pass is very good. You have independently cleaned sewers before and assisted in completing many tasks. Your actual combat effectiveness is relatively strong. However, do you know where your flaws are? ?”

Rhodes asked tentatively: "The physical combat capability is too weak?"

Sauron shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You still haven't understood the key. Your characteristics are very strong, but your flaws are also very big. If your method fails, neither the spirit gun nor the thunder stone can cause damage. The psychic cannon has already If you use it or no one gives you cover, you have no ability to do any harm.”

Rhodes certainly knows this, but he also has a way to summon objects.

Isn't it normal to call him "little brother" if he can't win?

As the saying goes, it's useless to fight. Who still plays one-on-one these days? Now there are just so many people.

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

This of course does not count towards his ability.

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

Rhodes replied casually: "It's just the thighs."

"thigh?"

Sauron gave him a strange look.

"Is this a new word for you young people? It's quite vivid. Imagine that you, as a big leg, must shoulder the burden of the team. The other team members are all supporting you and assisting you. If you are at the critical moment If it can't function all the time, what's the point of calling it a thigh?"

He paused and continued.

"What's worse is that your self-protection ability is too poor. In many dangerous environments, you cannot be completely protected. A ferocious blood-monster can kill you in one attack. Many monsters are born with the ability to ambush. And the ability to attack by surprise, their super speed and ferocious attacks are difficult to completely defend against, and there are more monsters with more sinister abilities that are difficult to guard against."

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

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

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

The truth is correct. If given time, Rhodes would be willing to fully develop. He understands his flaws very well.

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

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

"I just want to take a few days off, okay?"

Sauron said calmly: "Rhode, the special training is not to delay your growth, but to help you digest what you have gained in the sword pass. Your experiences in the sword pass are very rich. By digesting them, you can gain far more than you can." Imagine.”

"I think this is why you have the 'strong' mark. Generally speaking, the psychic strength of 2.1 thousand moments is far from enough to become one of us."

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

"Rhode, your recovery ability is very strong. No matter how tiring you train, you can still be energetic the next morning. I was going to give you extra lessons. After you have mastered the basic use of psychic powers, I am going to teach you The special power-generating technique of the Knights, when using a specific weapon, the power of one blow can reach one-tenth of your psychic cannon."

Rhodes had to admit that he was very excited.

His attack methods are too expensive, and this can be a perfect complement to him.

And he has [Frigid Blue] and a cabin rocking chair, especially the latter, which has a particularly good effect on rejuvenating his energy. No matter how tired or tired he is, he only needs to sleep on it for one night, and he will feel refreshed the next day.

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

It depends on it to survive this period of time.

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

Training can take place between battles.

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

Sauron glanced at him.

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

Rhodes said hurriedly: "Yes."

Sauron stopped talking and turned to train others.

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

Physical combat capabilities seem to be commonplace for these top students.

Most of them have experienced many more battles than Rhodes, and their records are far more brilliant than Rhodes. Although the battle at Jianguan was tragic, it was nothing in the entire human defense line. If Rhodes had not arrived, they would have just given up early. After passing Jianguan, he changed to guard the rear.

Moreover, the reason why the Battle of Sword Pass became so violent was also due to the manipulation of the doomsday cultist Gregor.

Or the time for growth is too short.

Rhodes thought.

He only entered the academy for a few months and became one of the top members of these special forces who have experienced hundreds of battles.

As for his classmates, they were still attending classes normally, guarding the gate of the college where there were no enemies at all every day.

Unknowingly, a big gap has opened up between him and Kashan.

Rhodes sighed slightly.

Maybe this is fate.

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

Since it was evening, the staff of the college dimmed the luminous objects, giving the college a nighttime atmosphere.

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

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

Rhodes first went to the market in the inner city to do some shopping and replenished urgently needed supplies. Then he put on some disguise and went to the nearest hunter branch.

The Hunter Headquarters is a functional organization, and specific matters such as undertaking tasks are completed in the Hunter Branch.

Mission content includes hunting monsters, clearing threats, escorting teams, transporting supplies, assisting in combat, etc.

Unlike regular legions, hunters do not receive salaries or allotment of supplies. They can only rely on themselves for everything. Most of those who choose to become hunters are those who cannot adapt to the collective fighting of legions. Therefore, most of them operate in the form of small teams, and their abilities are limited. More comprehensive.

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

But Rhodes didn't have that much time anymore. He had to compress his training and make time to acquire souls.

The Hunter branch is located in Rand Square in District 7 of the outer city. It looks like a tavern.

It's actually a tavern.

However, it only accepts hunter customers.

Rod pushed open the gate made of copper bars, and a voice shouted: "Sir, please show me your hunter's license."

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

Due to some complicated reasons, hunters do not need to show their real names and generally call each other by code names. The hunter's license is the only document that can prove their identity and restrict their behavior.

"Light it up, sir."

Rhodes poured in spiritual energy as he was told, and the words "Blade of Dawn" glowed dimly.

"Mr. Dawn Blade, since you have not performed missions for several months, your star rating has been reduced from two stars to one star. If you still do not complete the minimum hunter obligations in the next month, we will revoke you. license.”

Rhodes didn't care. This hunter's license didn't cost a penny. It was given to him by a crooked businessman.

Hunters don't get paid, so star ratings are meaningless.

He took a look and saw that the interior layout of the tavern was quite ordinary. There was a round counter directly in front. There were dozens of tables of various sizes in the brightly lit hall. There was a burning fireplace, which was just an ordinary flame.

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

There were not many people in the tavern, probably only about a dozen people, most of whom were wearing hunter windbreakers.

Some were talking in low voices, some were silent, and no one was interested in him.

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

It was she who reminded Rhodes just now.

In order to avoid trouble, Rhodes deliberately changed his image to look older.

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

The red-haired girl read in a formulaic voice: "Mr. Dawn Blade, we have thirty-four sewer cleaning tasks, issued by the Street and Cross Street Defense Department of District 1 of the Outer City, issued by the Defense Department of Firestone District, and Hammer Street of District 2 Department of Defense…”

Rhodes' face darkened. Why did he come to be a hunter and clean the sewers? If I want to go to the sewer, can't I just go directly to it?

"No, I don't want to clean the sewers. Is there anything else?"

The pace is too slow during this period, I will try to speed it up.
