Richard's expectations for the tavern are quite high. Here he can find his most scarce material - talents.
Don't look at the many talents under Richard's command now. The system heroes include Moriel, Elena, and Natalis, who can be considered pillar-level figures anywhere. The next-level heroes also include Si Air and Ron.
Talents at the level of ministers.
Talents like Lin Te have also been discovered in the local area, and Ironwood City College has been sending grassroots affairs officers to the Hunter family. But after all, the Hunter family's foundation is somewhat poor, their power has expanded too fast, and their business has become wider and wider.
Big, Richard has always felt that he is overwhelmed by manpower. Ordinary affairs officers need to be trained and tested for a long time before they can gradually be given important tasks, but the heroes in the tavern are definitely people who can be entrusted with important tasks right away.
Richard returned to Stone Castle just in time. It was completely dark. The originally quiet tavern suddenly lit up with orange lights. Richard was too lazy to explore how many secrets this tavern had. Skilled
He opened the door and walked into the tavern that was full of stale atmosphere.
The boss who is also the bartender is still standing leisurely in front of the bar, making some ordinary drinks. There are only five customers sitting on the table in the lobby.
Richard raised his eyes and glanced first at the person closest to him.
"An ordinary drunkard tends to talk nonsense after drinking."
After seeing that this person was of no value, Richard turned his attention to the guy on the other side.
"A thief may have stolen two dollars and came to the tavern to satisfy his addiction, or he may not have the money to pay for the drinks."
Come on, looking at the two of them, they are both crooked and cracked. The one on the left who still smells a bit is obviously a zombie, and the one on the right, who is dressed in red skin and has horns, is probably a hell demon.
As soon as Richard glanced over, he knew that these were not suitable for recruiting, especially zombies. There was no need to bring them back to comfort himself.
All that's left is a hooded guy.
"Rod Hart?"
Various attributes of the opponent quickly appeared in Richard's mind.
"Human Hero: Rod Hart

One of the components of the Combination Treasure Angel Alliance.
Introduction: Rhodes is a loyal knight, always loyal to Erathia, loyal to mankind, and loyal to his own beliefs. He seems to have been summoned by Elrath and came here to wait for a new object of allegiance to appear."
All of Rhodes' attributes are good. In terms of strength, Rhodes has earth-level strength and should be comparable to the champion knights.
The Kinnaar generated by the master's financial management skills also greatly supplements the Hunter family's finances, and according to Richard's experience, heroes with financial management skills are not weak in domestic affairs, plus they have offensive skills.
And Defense, basically an all-around hero similar to Elena and Moriel, that is, a character who can fight when mounted, and manage politics when dismounted.
The treasure that comes with it is the Prophet Sword. It is a level 4 treasure in the game. Not only does it have good attributes, it is also one of the six-piece sets of the Angel Alliance. Counting the angel necklace on Richard, the Angel Alliance has also collected two of them.
Piece comes.
The key is still in Rhodes' profile. Generally, Richard will formulate recruitment rhetoric based on the hero's profile. Like Elena and Moriel before, they were sold by the profile, but Rhodes' profile is a bit interesting.
Now. I have been summoned by Elrath to wait for a new person to be loyal to. Isn’t that me?
"Um?"
While Richard was evaluating Rhodes, Rhodes took off his hood and turned his head. Richard's observation caught Rhode's attention. A person like this with double-digit mental power, even while drinking.
He will also become very sensitive after drinking alcohol. The moment Rhodes turned his head, Richard even had such an "amazing" feeling.
With long blond hair, deep blue eyes, a tall nose and nearly perfect facial features, he looked like a blond male god. Even Richard had to admit that he had the qualifications to challenge him in terms of his handsomeness.
Before Richard could speak, Rhodes actually showed a gentle smile towards Richard. Coupled with Rhodes' handsome facial features that were comparable to Richard's, Richard actually felt that the other person was somewhat charming.
Damn it, why are you so handsome? You make me have the urge not to take you back.
Richard, who felt that his appearance and status had been challenged, felt a little bit jealous in his heart, but he quickly adjusted himself and returned the other person with a kind smile. After all, handsome people can't be eaten.
, at least not in this era, it still depends on ability.
Next, Rhodes stood up from his position. The half-plate armor and skirt armor could not hide Rhodes' slender and straight figure, and he was half a head taller than Richard.
But now was not the time to care about this. Rhodes walked straight up to Richard and suddenly bent down and half-knelt down.
"Rod Hart, offer your loyalty to the lord!"
At this time, Richard was still standing there in a daze, unable to react. In addition to observing the other party's handsome appearance, he was also thinking about what kind of words he would use to convince the other party that he was the one who made Elrath want to kill him.
Where is the waiting lord? He just didn't expect Rhodes to be so direct, which made Richard slapped and stuffed back into his mouth.
However, Richard's reaction was still very quick. He did not hesitate for too long to embarrass the other party. He drew out the Vulcan Sword from his waist with a clang and placed it on Rhodes' shoulder.
"I, the Marquis of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the ruler of the North, and the beloved of Elrath, Richard, accept your allegiance."
Although Richard has never had much respect for the gods, it does not prevent him from using this piece of tiger skin. Anyway, when it is beneficial, Richard can be a devout believer, and when it is not beneficial, he can be like you.
This simple ceremony attracted the attention of several other drinkers in the tavern, but most of them looked at them with disdain. The occasion was really not right, except for Rhode's face, which had no sense of sanctity at all. Oh, and Richard's face was also fake.
There is no sense of sanctity, after all, no matter what, he can't smile playfully.
"Loyalty, bravery, humility..."
Fortunately, Richard was thick-skinned enough. He muttered the ceremony in a space of less than two meters between several small tables, and first determined the names of the monarch and his ministers.
Afterwards, Richard hurriedly led Rhodes out of the tavern. Even with Richard's shameless attitude, the ritual in that scene just now made Richard feel a little ashamed. Fortunately, these people didn't know him. Waiting
Once the tavern door is closed, you won’t know where to go next time, and you won’t have a second chance to meet anyone except the bartender.
"Rhode."
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
As soon as the two of them walked out, the tavern suddenly closed the door and turned off the lights, and they ran into another dimension. Richard casually greeted Rhodes, but the other party's reaction shocked him.
Not only did he respond with honorifics loudly, but he also immediately stood up straight, crossed his arms, and gave Richard a standard knight's salute, which was even more elegant than Elena's.
"No, no, just speak normally. Don't be too particular."
In private situations, Richard is still very willing to show his friendly side.
"My lord, as a knight..."
Richard: "..."
"Okay, then you can speak softly, not so loudly."
"Yes, sir."
Rhodes was so persistent in this matter that he almost got Richard involved. Richard had no choice but to tell Rhodes not to yell so loudly and then gave up persuading him.
He is now thinking about how to arrange Rhodes. It's not that there is no place to put them, but that there are too many places that need people, so where should he prioritize them?
