Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode closed the door and tidied up his clothes, turning around to look at Sereck. Sereck looked at Rhode and smiled bitterly. Behind the door, a person’s angry shouts and smashing sounds could be heard.

“Don’t you think that’s too much, Rhode?” Sereck shook his head.

“No matter what, this…”

“Well, Mr. Sereck, you don’t have to play the victim here. I know that the Mercenary Association doesn’t really care about this.” Rhode waved his hand. “My request isn’t too much, right? Even the President accepted it. I think it’s also not much of a burden for you. Indeed, if the HQ abolished the quota for a mercenary guild in the Paphield area, it will be troublesome, but it’s not really too serious right…”

Although this matter was really serious in reality, but Rhode still acted as if he didn’t really care much about it. Letting the opponent know his limit in the middle of negotiation wasn’t really something smart.

“Alright, I won’t say anymore.” Seeing Rhode’s firm attitude, Sereck also didn’t continue to say anything. “About the people that you requested for, I will help you ask them. But I need to tell you first that I cannot make the decision: they will decide it for themselves. That’s right, since yours member still aren’t enough, do you have any other plan?”

“Let’s just see what will happen.” About this problem, Rhode still hadn’t found a way to solve it. There weren’t many talented NPCs in Deep Stone City, and especially ones that could be hired by a player. In the Paphield area, there were some NPCs who weren’t too bad, but to make them follow him wasn’t going to be easy. In the game, a player must complete the quest from an NPC to make the NPC follow the player and the time spent on the quest also wasn’t short. Especially in reality now, just how much time did he need to waste? Even looking for the NPC itself was already a problem. Now, he only had 2 months time; not only did he need to recruit people, he also needed to train them. Just like in a PVP battle, the player need to go through more than ten battles to become familiar with it. It was basically impossible for a newly joined member to get familiar with the entire group immediately. Fortunately, the skills they used weren’t complicated like a player’s, which was very complicated as everyone’s skill and talent was different. This would at least give him the advantage of being able to judge the opponent in the battle.

“If you don’t mind, I can help you find some other mercenaries. They were forcefully dissolved before, and are now is still in the prohibition period, but haven’t found any suitable members yet. I don’t think they’re not too bad; actually, they’re quite strong. If you want, I can help you contact them.”

“No problem, but I need those four Clerics now.”

“Who?”

“They’re all leaders of a mercenary group. According to Sereck, they seemed to want to join your mercenary group.”

“Is that so…” Hearing until here, Rhode nodded and patted Marlene on the shoulder. After that, he followed Shauna downstairs.

When they arrived at the hall, Rhode could see Sereck with three fully-armored men.

One of the men attracted Rhode’s attention.

He was burly and almost 2 meters tall. From afar, he looked like an iron tower. His skin was tan and he had a bright smile. He was laughing loudly with Sereck beside him, unlike the other two men beside him. He was wearing a heavy armor, and behind him was a huge, two-handed sword. He was chatting with Sereck happily, as if he didn’t care about what would happen next.

The other two mercenaries also has their own unique characteristics. One of them was aplump middle-aged man, listening to Sereck and the other mercenary’s conversation. His white face looked more like a merchant than a mercenary. But even so, Rhode could tell his true strength from the fluttering dagger in his fingers. The other had a serious expression on his face. His posture was straight and he was looking forward. It could be seen that he was of military origin and had received formal military training.

It seemed Sereck really put in a lot of effort.

Thinking until here, Rhode’s eyes narrowed. He was calculating something inside his heart.
