Chapter 252 Put on the Agenda (2/2)

As for the Behermes Family, it was that 'chicken'.

Originally, Rhode had decided to get rid of this group of Druids. However, on their way back to Deep Stone City, there were no Druids in sight which made Rhode give up on this idea. He wasn't too worried about Lapis' safety because the Druids hated the city—they wouldn't even step into it while on their deathbeds. So as long as Lapis stayed near home, those Druids wouldn't be able harm her.

And as for Rhode, since these Druids weren't dumb enough to bring themselves to their own doom, he could start focusing on another matter: upgrading his own equipment.

As known previously, the equipment that Rhode had collected through previous dungeon battles was passed on to his mercenaries and nothing was left for himself. There was indeed some support equipment available, but he had thrown them aside as their attributes were unsuitable. Rhode, with his double talent trees, would be able to summon spirits and his attributes would be stronger than that of any magical equipment. This was why he only carried the Crimson Blade along with him and nothing else.

If possible, Rhode could even throw his Crimson Blade aside since he had a holy sword card.

But the Zero Refining Equipment would be a problem for him.

The Zero Refining Equipment was able to activate three types of attributes and aura attributes which were important to him. Moreover, the Midsummer Festival was about to start and if he could make good use of the Zero Refining Equipment, his abilities would rise greatly. Not only that, but it would also require half the effort when he led his men for future missions.

But the problem now was that it wasn't easy finding equipment…

Lower grade equipment was useless, but with Rhode's current level, suitable equipment wasn't not easy to obtain. The area located in the the middle of Deep Stone City mostly had dungeon equipment ranging between level 10 to level 20. To Rhode, who was currently level 23, that was completely useless. However, it would be impossible to make it to the higher-level dungeons in the deep mountains or forests and back within a month. Now that the Midsummer Festival was approaching, how would he find the time to go on an adventure?

Of course, he knew of a few hidden, higher-level dungeons within Deep Stone City, but those were for level 40 and above. If he wasn't careful, he would be invited to have a drink and chat with the lord in hell. Based on Rhode's current abilities…. He would only be seeking death.

However, he wasn't too worried about this problem. He led his men to the Mercenary Association, reported his mission completion, and returned to the stronghold after receiving the remunerations. He had spent 10 days on this trip to the Unicorn Peak and he was curious about his team's training progress.

Upon entering the stronghold, Rhode spotted some unusual items.
