"Very good, Hicks. Bring a few people with me to take a look around. I want to see if there are any promising talents among these slaves who can be used by the organization." The Hedgehog Head ordered.

"Yes, my lord."

"I'll go for a walk first. Maybe I can bring you a bunch of surprises later." The Hedgehog Head said excitedly.

As a senior ACG fan, he has read all the popular and unpopular movies, masterpieces and outrageous works, anime, comics, games, light novels, etc. He believes that with his own experience, he can definitely dig out a few more plot NPCs, which seems to have become one of his pleasures.

After Hedgehog Head left, Rhine began to integrate the Black Beast Mercenary Group.

"How many people are there in your group? How many are left?" Rhine asked.

Because Walter had killed some of them before, and the remaining members fled after seeing the Black Beast Mercenaries "destroyed", resulting in not many people left in the Black Beast Mercenaries now.

"Reporting to the Lord, there are 38 official members. 13 died, 7 escaped, and now there are 18 left. Excluding the 7 core members, there are 11 more. Do you want to..."

Walter made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand. If Rhine nodded, he would swing the butcher knife at his former subordinate without hesitation.

"Let them in and I'll buff them one by one. As long as they accept the organization's blessing, we'll be a family from now on. If they don't want to, then just give them a proper burial. After all, they were once your subordinates."

"Yes, sir. I'll let them in right away."

It's called blessing, but in fact it's just to give them a stamp of thought. If he can't do it to the great swordsman Walter, can he do it to other small fish?

Under the envious eyes of the former Black Beast Mercenary Corps cadres, Rhine planted ideological imprints in those ordinary members one by one.

Of course, there were two members who noticed something was wrong and wanted to run away, but they were caught by Walter.

Faced with the threat of death, they finally had to accept the blessing of "the Lord" and became the most devout jihadists in the organization.

"Sir, the eldest daughter of Bloody Rose is outside the door clamoring to see you." The member in charge of standing guard came in to report.

"Let her in." He had been dealing with the Black Beast Mercenary Group so much that he had forgotten about this young lady.

"Yes!"

When she saw Lai Yin again, Shahua was angry but dared not say anything. In the end, she could only say: "Give me back the magic core. I don't need your protection anymore. The 110 million gold coins will be used to redeem the magic core."

"Are you sure you want to be so anxious to cut ties with me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Without my protection, are you sure you can leave the Black Beast Mercenary Group headquarters intact?"

When Rhine said this, all the members present stared at Shahua with ferocious eyes, just like a group of hungry wolves staring at a little lamb that had strayed into the pack.

"You...what do you want to do?" Shahua was a little scared and took a few steps back unconsciously, regretting that she came here alone.

"Don't worry, you are still my employer, they won't hurt you. But if you fire me, your personal safety will not be guaranteed. After all, I have no obligation to save you, right?"

At this moment, Rhine looked like a complete villain.

"You! You are so despicable! After all, you just want to use me to threaten my mother!" Shahua said angrily.

She has now lost both her wife and her army. Not only was her legendary magic core taken away, but she herself was also captured.

"Speaking of which, is 'despicable' considered a compliment in a lawless place?" Rhine asked whimsically.

"You...you...you don't take care of your man?" Shahua asked Natasha who had been watching the show on the side.

"Me? I'm just a spectator." Natasha shrugged. Most importantly, she knew that Rhine was not a wicked person.

"What on earth do you want to do!" Shahua already began to regret bringing this demon into this lawless place.

"You will know what I want soon. For your safety, I have to ask you to stay here for a few days. You will be free after things are resolved."

After saying this, Rhine had her taken away and kept under strict surveillance, and tried his best to satisfy any of her requests.

He admitted that he did have the idea of ​​using the Legendary Magic Core and Shahua to contain the Bloody Rose. There was nothing despicable about it, and he never said he was a gentleman.

"With the eldest daughter of the Bloody Rose here, they should be cautious and at least not join forces with the other families to deal with the Black Beast, oh no, it should be the Black Dog Mercenary Group. The only ones left are the Levatin family and the most mysterious "Dragon Bishop."

"Your Excellency is wise. But in fact, we can unite with the 'Dragon Bishop' because our goals do not conflict." Keane, the former staff officer of the Black Beast Mercenaries, suggested.

"What do you mean?" Rhine asked curiously.

"Wait a minute, you're talking about the 'Dragon Bishop'? Is it a religion that worships dragons and resurrects them to restore the glory of the dragon race?" Ivan suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, Lord Ivan." Keane nodded and continued to introduce.

"The Dragon Tribe Bishop was originally a religious organization active in the country of Ten Thousand Islands in the outer sea, but for some reason it took root in the lawless land four hundred years ago."

"I guess they must have learned from somewhere that there are dead dragons or sealed dragons in the secret realm. Otherwise, the timing of their appearance is too coincidental."

"Do you know the 'Dragon Bishop'?" Ling Yun asked Ivan.

"I know. I just happened to see it, but I don't know if it's the same one. If it is really the dragon bishop in my memory, then it means that there really is a sealed dragon here." Ivan replied.

"???" Rhine looked at Natasha in confusion. Is there anyone else who has the same goal as them?

(Please vote, vote. By the way, you don’t think the protagonist’s way of holding hostages is despicable, do you? I’ve said before that the protagonist is not a saint. Since there is an efficient method, why not use it?)

Chapter 175: Lucela or the Destroying Dragon?

"Are there other dragons sealed in the secret realm of the high elves? Or is the Dragon Bishop coming for Lucela?" Rhine asked Natasha through voice transmission.

It's not that he's suspicious, but as Keane said, it's just a coincidence.

Previously, the Dragon Bishop had been active in the open sea, but they came right after Natasha sealed Lucela in the secret realm of the high elves. It was hard not to suspect that they were coming for Lucela. Of course, it was also possible that there were indeed other dragons sealed in the secret realm.

Natasha shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

"Because I had other things to do at the time, I left after sealing Lucela and did not explore the secret realm in detail."

"If they're not coming for Lucela... then there is only one possibility. There are other dragons in the secret realm." Rhine's face became serious.

Because the dragon that was sealed by the high elves, and a dragon that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years and had not yet died, was most likely not some small extra.

He didn't want to release the world-destroying dragon when releasing Lucela. After all, this era was not comparable to the era of the high elves, and there were no powerful gods anymore.

"It's possible, because according to the book preserved by the Silver Moon Elves, the reason why the high elf royal family built a resort here was because they discovered a fountain of life that was about to dry up."

"In order to save this fountain of life that was about to disappear, the royal family of the high elves sealed a creature with extremely strong vitality in the spring, and used a formation to absorb the vitality of the creature to nourish the fountain of life."

"Finally, with the continuous infusion of huge vitality from the unknown creatures, the Fountain of Life revived again." Natasha told Rhine the unknown secret.

"Did the spring dry up when you sealed Luciela?"

This is what Rhine is most concerned about, because if the spring has dried up, it means that the unknown creature is dead. If it has not dried up, it means that the formation is still running and the unknown creature is not dead yet.

"No. If it dried up, why would I seal Xiaolu there?"

"Hiss... That's terrifying. Its vitality has been sucked away for tens of thousands of years, but it's still not dead. How strong must it have been before? Could it be a divine dragon?" Rhine took a breath when he thought of this.

The natural lifespan of an ordinary (pure) dragon is one thousand years, while a divine dragon can live for tens of thousands of years. With the background of the high elves, it is not difficult to catch a divine dragon.

After hearing Rhine's guess, Natasha's expression became quite solemn.

"I'm afraid it's not just as simple as an ordinary God Realm dragon. Because although a dragon in the God Realm can live for tens of thousands of years, that's because the dragon race is naturally sleepy and can often sleep for dozens or even hundreds of years. It causes very little wear and tear on their lives, so they can live for tens of thousands of years."

"But if its vitality is constantly being drained away, it will probably be wiped out in less than a few thousand years."

"You mean, this could be a dragon at the peak of the divine realm or even a demigod? That's impossible. How could a high elf be so powerful?" Rhine asked doubtfully.

"You underestimate the High Elves. The Sun King, the Silver Moon Queen, the King of Stars and the Elf Queen are all demigod-level powerful beings. The High Elf Dynasty in its heyday was a madman who dared to declare war on the gods. There was nothing in this world that they dared not do." Natasha replied.

The power of the Dragon Age was based on the power of the dragons themselves, while the power of the High Elves Age was not just the power of the High Elves, but the power of an era. At that time, the world developed to an unprecedented height under the leadership of the High Elves Dynasty, and the entire planet became a whole.

"Okay, so your lineage of Silver Moon Elves is not descended from the lineage of the Silver Moon Queen, right?" Rhine asked curiously.

If this is true, then the Silvermoon Elves can indeed be called the orthodox High Elves.

"Well, after tens of thousands of years, everyone's blood has degenerated to varying degrees. Even the royal family, who pay the most attention to the purity of their blood, has a blood concentration that is only about the same as the mixed blood tens of thousands of years ago."

"What about you? Isn't your blood concentration quite high?"

"Me? I'm just a half-blood. No, you're getting off topic. Aren't you talking about dragons? Why are you talking about me?" Natasha seemed unwilling to talk more about herself or the royal family.

"Oh, yes, yes."

It turns out that Natasha is a mixed-blood. Rhine has always thought that she is a pure-blooded Silver Moon Elf. So the question is, how can a mixed-blood Silver Moon Elf revert to her ancestral bloodline? Could she be a mixed-blood of the Silver Moon Elf royal family? Although she really wants to know the gossip, Natasha doesn't want to say it and she certainly won't ask.

"Then are we still going to save Xiaolu?" Natasha looked at Rhine with hope.

"Save. Why not save? This is just our guess. Even if there is a giant dragon, it has been sealed and sucked blood for tens of thousands of years. It is impossible for it to be intact. The most important thing is that it has been sealed for tens of thousands of years and nothing happened. It can't be that the seal will be broken as soon as we arrive, right?"

As soon as Lai Rhine finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was a little panicked: "Oh no! Why did I set a flag!"

The player’s protagonist halo is not just a joke, but a real thing, a status given to the player by the system.

"What's wrong?" Natasha asked with concern as she looked at Rhine's face changing drastically.

"I feel like something really big might happen this time. But it doesn't matter. I have ways to deal with it." Rhine said calmly.

He is not trying to brag or to get help. Don't forget that he has a magic ball in his backpack that is as powerful as a divine attack.

If a world-destroying dragon really came into the world, he would stuff the ball into its stomach. He didn't believe that the explosion that could flatten a small continent would not kill the other side.

"Well, I believe you." Although this man was still very weak, he could give her a sense of security that she had never experienced before, as if he could hold up the sky even if it collapsed.

In fact, Rhine's plan was to cripple the enemy if not kill him. If he still couldn't defeat them at that time, it wouldn't be too late to call for help. It just so happened that the Lord God owed him a favor, and he would not be polite to you when it came time to use thugs.

Now the first thing to do is to know whether the Dragon Bishop is coming for Lucela or for another purpose. If it is Lucela, then everyone is happy, after all, more than 400 years ago, it was also called the Destroyer Dragon.

"Help me contact the Dragon Bishop and tell him that we can have in-depth cooperation with them and help them achieve their goals. In return, they need to help us unify the lawless land and destroy the Levatin family first." Rhine said to Keane.

"Yes, my lord!"

(I was so scared. I almost slept past six and almost lost my perfect attendance. I can guarantee that no one can guess what will happen next. Huh?? It looks like the bounty for this month will also be around twelve or thirteen updates, so I feel relieved.)

Chapter 176: Being Proposed in Public

“Walter, are you tired of living? You even dare to tie up my daughter!”

"If you dare to touch her, I swear I will drag you to hell even if it means my life or death!!!"

A sharp sound mixed with a violent and overbearing torrent of magic power came from afar, and what followed was an overwhelming rain of fire like falling stars.

The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night, and blows down stars like rain. If these meteors were not falling towards them, it would surely be very beautiful.

"This crazy woman! She actually came right up and started casting holy-level magic in the inner city!" Walter said solemnly as he looked at the rain of fire falling from the sky.

"Shahua's mother?" Rhine asked.

"Yes, sir. The visitor is the president of the Bloody Rose Chamber of Commerce, a top witch. People in the Lawless Land call her Bloody Mary." Walter gave a brief introduction.

"Go and bring Sahua up."

"Are you trying to threaten her with her daughter? This might only anger her even more," Walter warned.

"Oh, what do you mean? Isn't she afraid that something might happen to her daughter?" Rhine asked curiously.

Walter: "I am afraid, but the most taboo thing in the lawless land is to be threatened. Because once it starts, there will definitely be a next time. As one of the four giants of R'lyeh, Bloody Mary must understand this, so she is likely to fight to the end regardless of the consequences. With her personality, she can definitely do it. This is one of the reasons why I don't want to provoke this crazy woman."

"It's okay, bring the person up, I will make arrangements."

"Yes, my lord."

"Can you intercept those meteorites?" Rhine asked the two. After all, this was his temporary base now. If a group of meteorites fell, he would have to find another place.

"No problem." Ivan nodded.

"Leave it to me." Ling Yun also patted his chest to show that it was a small matter.

Because in this game you don't need to shout out the name of the ultimate skill when releasing it, Rhine didn't know what the skills they were using were called.

Then Ivan saw a hot fireball the size of a basketball in his hand. It was much smaller than the meteor shower falling from the sky.

Just as he was wondering how this small fireball would fight against the rain of fire, he saw Ivan throwing a baseball and then suddenly heading towards the direction of a meteor.

The fireball split into two immediately after it left his hand, then three, and then not four, but it split into fireballs all over the sky in an instant.

These fireballs soon transformed into various creatures, including mythical creatures such as the dragon, phoenix, and Kunpeng, as well as animals such as tigers and lions.

The most important thing is that this process is completed in an instant. All living things transformed from the fireball crash into the falling stars like moths to a flame.

Magnificent explosions lit up the sky of R'lyeh, and everyone put down their work and looked up at the fireworks display filled with a destructive atmosphere.

On the other side, Ling Yun also took out his Dimension Sword and made a somewhat childish sword-drawing motion. I thought it would be an Iai Slash, but it turned out to be a Blade Storm.

With one strike of the sword, hundreds of thousands of sword energies rose into the sky.
