Chapter 91 Absorption Evolution
According to Rhodes's understanding, Baron Jeff did not return to his own territory after leaving him.
Instead, he continued to head north, visiting the pioneer knights there.
Taking advantage of his status as a fellow citizen of the kingdom, he went to each family to try to get close to them.
I only buy a little food each time and never ask for too much.
Since a baron had come personally, the pioneering knights felt embarrassed to refuse.
After all, it's just a few hundred pounds of food, which is of no significance. It would be too embarrassing not to even give them this little bit of face.
After this trip, he actually managed to collect tens of thousands of pounds of food.
It's no problem to ask hundreds of people to tighten their belts for a month.
At this time, the value of food can no longer be simply measured by gold coins. As long as you buy it, you will make a profit.
But this method can only be used by the first person.
If you want to learn how to eat crabs in the future, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get through the door.
In addition to Baron Jeff, Rhodes also received letters from five other Knights of the Round Table in his alliance.
Came to thank him.
Because of his previous suggestions at Broken Dragon Fortress, the various territories in the alliance currently have good food reserves.
At least for the next two months, there is no need to worry about food shortages.
After the cold wave, the Alliance knights breathed a sigh of relief and wrote letters expressing their gratitude to him.
This slightly improved Rhodes' reputation in the league.
But in fact, it's just like that, with little impact. At most, it can make them more enthusiastic when saying hello.
If you want to have enough say among the pioneering knights, the most basic requirement is to have a big fist!
At least it shows the strength of the Extreme Knight.
In addition to strength, fame is also very important. You must have your own unique name.
In a sense, this is more important than strength.
Only if you have an exclusive title will the aristocratic circle be willing to discuss and recognize your knightly glory.
Only then will other pioneering knights be willing to follow behind you and accept your leadership.
"If you want to make a name for yourself, it looks like you'll have to rely on knights charging forward. Hiding behind and shooting arrows won't work."
Rhodes glanced at the longbow and shook his head helplessly.
In the Battle of Sarko Ice City, his performance was definitely outstanding.
The archer's suppressive power is even greater than Charlie's.
But it did not attract much attention from outsiders.
The same was true of the Round Table's propaganda, which at most made other nobles mention his superb archery skills when talking about him.
And then? Then nothing happened.
Many people are skeptical about his performance.
The main reason was that Rhodes' past rumors were not good, which gave everyone a preconceived impression.
In addition, he was too young. Among the pioneer knights whose average age was over 28, he, at only 16 years old, seemed out of place.
It will make people unconsciously associate it with weak strength.
It is very simple to solve this problem. As long as you are strong enough and win a few more battles, others will believe it even if they don’t.
The thing that is most lacking in the expansion of the Northern Territory is war.
At night, Rhodes closed his eyes in the room.
The soul is sublimated and enters the northern afterimage of the Star Spirit Heaven.
When he opened his eyes again, his body was lying on the branch of a tall birch tree.
He was also wearing white armor.
Frost Guardian, this is a set of armor of perfect quality made by dwarven blacksmiths.
Rhodes discovered something magical: it was connected to his own soul.
When he leaves the Northern Remnant, it will attach itself to his soul and leave together with him.
"Is this the special feature of the spiritual world? This set of armor itself is made of spirituality."
Rhodes understood the situation, and at the same time, a new idea came to his mind.
According to the alchemical knowledge in the wizard's manual, he might be able to quickly replicate this set of white steel armor in reality.
Focusing his attention back on the present, Rhodes jumped down from the branch. He took out the map and determined his current location.
Following the instructions on the audience route, he had to walk through the Cold Ridge Corridor, which was full of icebergs, before going from the village to the City of Eternal Winter.
He was now at the front end of the Coldridge Corridor.
There are a large number of ice-blade wolves, ice-breaking beasts and giant snow sheep living here.
But now, this snowy mountain is occupied by a group of new monsters.
Rhodes raised his hand, and the spiritual power of the Mist Raven condensed into a black sword.
Then he gripped the black sword tightly and swung it downwards suddenly.
boom! boom! boom!
The snow under my feet suddenly burst into air currents, and snowflakes flew everywhere.
In the white snow fog that blocked the view, the three-headed dragon servant jumped out from the ground.
The ferocious long mouth came towards Rhodes to bite.
However, in mid-air, it was cut into two by a crescent-shaped slash that came diagonally downward, and the three-headed dragon servant died on the spot.
After dealing with the enemy, he stepped forward to collect spirituality.
A total of 6 units of mottled divinity are obtained.
This is the standard unit that Rhodes established for the mottled divinity. One unit refers to the total amount provided by an early-stage first-order dragon servant.
Because of the White Wolf's Roar, the mottled divinity provided by the wolf-shaped dragon servant was consumed.
Rhodes estimated that he would need 20 units of mottled divinity to reach the level of an elite knight and 120 units to reach the level of an extreme knight.
He walked alone in the pure white snow, leaving only a short trail of footprints that were soon covered by the snow.
The dragon servants of the snowy mountains are very cunning and like to hide under the snow to launch sneak attacks.
Fortunately, with the Eye of True Vision, as long as he got within five meters, Rhodes could see through their camouflage and attack in advance.
After climbing a high slope ahead, he suddenly stopped.
Rhodes looked down from the high slope and saw a group of Ice Blade Wolves hundreds of meters away.
Amid the howls of wolves, they were surrounding a dragon servant, hovering nearby and ready to attack at any time.
However, the next second, the besieged dragon servant disappeared on the spot.
It raised the rapier in its hand and thrust forward in an instant, with dozens of sword beams appearing from the tip of the sword.
The sharp sword light pierced through the heads of the Ice Blade Wolves, and most of the white wolves were killed by the stab and had no ability to fight back.
The few that managed to survive immediately tucked their tails between their legs and ran away without looking back.
Rhodes suddenly narrowed his eyes and tightened the black sword in his hand.
As he watched, the dragon servant opened its arms toward the sky, as if performing some kind of ritual.
After the death of the Ice Blade Fang Wolf, its spirit no longer dissipated, but instead gathered towards it.
The dragon servant began to change. Its skinned, skeleton-like body bulged with muscles and its form gradually changed into a werewolf-like wolf-type dragon servant.
But unlike the one holding the giant crystal sword, its body is more slender and similar to that of a normal human.
Dragon servants will devour the spiritual energy of other creatures to make themselves more powerful.
Seeing this scene, Rhodes understood this.
He raised his hand and held the black sword in front of him.
Because in the next second, the grown wolf-shaped dragon servant disappeared again.
After taking a few big strides, he appeared in front of Rhodes, with the tip of his rapier emitting a brilliant sword light.
Bang! Clang!
"Agile swordsmanship? What a coincidence, I do the same." Rhodes deflected its thrust, his eyes lighting up with magic.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Afterimages appeared around the wolf-shaped dragon servant.
That's where its next move will be.
Clearly seen by the Eye of True Seeing.
Time flowed again, and using the speed brought by the Raven's Feather, Rhodes tilted his head to the left.
At the last moment, he dodged the thrust that grazed his cheek.
At the same time, the black sword in his hand cut the enemy's neck.
