Summoning the Holy Sword

Xia Yue's sunlight shone on the desk through the window, bringing a touch of enthusiasm, but the man sitting at the table didn't care. He focused on the documents in his hand and showed a satisfied smile.

For Keller, this is a very good opportunity.

In the end, the Merchants' Association rejected Krause's request to lower their ore prices and restore the market to its original state. This also means that the negotiations have come to an end, and what happened next can be said to be fierce. Just three hours after the Merchants Association rejected the request of the Claus owner, headed by the association president and vice chairman, Fifty members of the association were arrested by the city guards in the name of "deliberate disruption of commercial order." Keller was next to him at the time. He watched the heavily armed city guards mercilessly knock down the merchants who had been respected and favored, tying them with a rope in one hand, and pulling out the other from his arms. Know when the appointment letter has been prepared in the hands of those agents. Among them are the chairman's secretary, deputy executive officer, and even the chamber of commerce representative. In just a blink of an eye, they took up the post that had been vacated and restarted to ensure the normal operation of the businessmen's association.

This scene made Keller feel a little bit cold, and it became clear that the main owner of Clause had infiltrated the Merchants Association and obtained the support of those opponents. Although most of the senior members of the entire Merchants Association were arrested , But did not bring the slightest impact-this statement may not be correct, the impact is still there, that is, in the afternoon of the same day, the merchants' association reduced the price of the restricted order again, and returned to the original normal level.

This is what made Keller feel scared. The chairman thought that they had mastered the lifeblood of the entire Pafield area, so he made a request without fear. However, they have seriously overestimated their important surnames. For this area, no one seems to be irreplaceable.

Even myself.

Thinking of this, Keller couldn't help shaking his body.

Because the right position in this incident, and the ore was still sold at the original price when the Association raised the price, to the greatest extent offset the impact of the Association's increase in price, the Keller family's natural gain was not small. In return, Keller was appointed as the temporary acting chairman of the businessmen's association, responsible for controlling and regulating the operation and indulgence of the entire businessmen's association in the Pafield area. However, Keller knew that if he did well enough, at the end of the year, the word "agent" on his head would be removed and replaced by the true "chairman". He had heard the news from Krause, and the administrative officer seemed to intend to make Shenshicheng a new business center. If this is the case, then the future of the Keller family will be smooth.

Of course, the premise is not to make the wrong choice.

Keller was not an ambitious person. He knew that Claus chose to send himself to the transfer not only to ensure the normal operation of the businessmen's association, but also to vaguely hint to him that his strength, if he had Slightly wrong step, then you can expect that in the near future, the ornately decorated wooden door of Keller's office will be pushed open, and then two guards wearing steel armor strode into the room and stepped him in. Pressed to the ground, and he could only look desperately at his subordinates or close friends sitting in his position with a victorious smile ... This is definitely not the ending that Keller wanted, because he was very clear The end of those guys, in the Principality of Munn, treason is a felony, and any crime related to this will inevitably lead to a dead end. Of course, depending on the severity of your crime, there is at least a possible surname for you.

"Well."

When Keller was out of his mind, a sudden knock on the door sounded, which made Keller couldn't help but then reflected his surname's head up. Fortunately, he didn't see the heavily armed guards slamming open the door and came in The scene, which made Keller couldn't help but grin and shook his head.

I think too much.

"Come in."

Thinking of this, Keller sorted out his clothes and then shouted, and soon, an old housekeeper opened the door and entered the room, and saluted Keller deeply.

"Master, someone wants to see you."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Keller frowned, and now it was his working time, and if he could, he didn't want to be disturbed in any way.

"who?"

"He claims to be the head of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, Mr. Rod Ellant."

"Mr. Rhodes?"

When he heard the name, Keller froze.

"Why did he come to me?"

It's not surprising that Keller would raise this question. Although he and Rhode are also somewhat in a relationship, they have nothing special to do with each other. And as a mercenary regiment, it seems unlikely that Rhodes has anything to do with himself, but what is he doing to find himself now?

"I don't know this either, sir."

Faced with Keller's sudden question, the old housekeeper did not know how to answer.

"He just said there was something he wanted to confirm. Master, do I need to ask him to leave?"

"No need to."

Keller shook his head and stood up. In any case, Rhodes can be regarded as an influential force in Deep Stone City, especially among the mercenaries, and the star mercenary regiment has a high reputation. And Keller knew his aristocratic identity, plus the young lady of the Xenia family currently in the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, no one would despise this man. Keller and Rhodes haven't had a long time dealing with each other, but he already knows that the other party is a very intelligent and quite decisive person. In fact, since Deep Stone City has been in dispute, many things are clues that Keller got through clues afterwards. But in his opinion, Rhodes seemed to know all of this by nature. Whether it was a sudden shot of Emerald Tears at the mercenary association door or later competition with other mercenary regiments, this young man seemed to have nothing that he did knew. And Keller even guessed that the other party might come from Gold City, but looking at Clauser, it doesn't seem like it?

This young man is really full of mysteries.

Although I don't know what happened to Rhodes, he must be in the door by the name of this young man.

I just don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Keller didn't say much, and soon gave an order to his old housekeeper.

"Take me to see him."

When Keller came down to the living room under the guidance of the old butler, he saw at a glance the figure of the armored weapon standing here in the corner of the living room. Seeing this figure, I don't know why, Keller jumped in his heart for no reason, then he immediately stabilized his mind, and then stepped forward with a smile.

"Welcome to you, Mr. Rhode, why do you have time to come to me today?"

"Hello, long time no see, Mr. Keller."

Hearing Keller's greeting, Rhode retracted his gaze from the armor, then he looked at Keller, nodded slightly, and said hello to him. Keller showed a warm smile, then reached out and invited the other person to sit down. At this time, the servant who was waiting aside quickly brought Keller a cup of black tea—Rod's tea cup had been placed at the table, but it seemed that he had not moved at all.

"I never thought you would come to me. Is there anything wrong?"

After the two sides sat down again, Keller enthusiastically asked, and when he heard his inquiry, Rhodes didn't hesitate and nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm here to confirm something with you, Mr. Keller."

"Oh?"

Hearing here, Keller froze slightly. He had heard Rod from the old housekeeper before, but still didn't understand what he came to confirm to himself? However, after thinking for a while, he waved his servant to leave the room, and then asked.

"Excuse me ... Mr. Rhode is coming to me for confirmation?"

"Is such that."

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, leaned on the sofa, and gently stroked the bright red sword lying on his leg. I don't know why. When Keller saw the other's long fingers stroked the sword handle, he felt no reason. His neck was cold, like an invisible long sword running through his throat, almost making him cough.

But Keller couldn't hold back. He picked up the tea cup and drank a bitter black tea, squashing the weird feeling.

"Is such that."

Rod's voice was very light, and it sounded fine, but Keller always felt that the temperature around him seemed to be slowly falling.

"I have made a bet with some boring people before. Does this ... Mr. Keller know?"

"This ...... a little smell."

Hearing this, Keller stunned, and then answered. Rhodes and Barney's gambling contract has long been a storm in the city under the rendering of a caring person. Although Keller has been very busy during this time, he still knows a little about this. But isn't this something between mercenary regiments? What does it have to do with yourself?

"I won't hide you until now, Mr. Keller, this time traveling to the Blackrock Abyss, I need a lot of flame scrolls, but when I sent someone to buy them on the market, I found that these things were bought It's gone. ”As he said here, Rhodes folded his hands, a smile in his eyes.

"So the poor Miss Marlene had to spend days on her own, and finally made enough scrolls to use. It was really thanks to her that we were able to smoothly and safely leave the abyss and return. The surface. There is a mage around who is still very relieved, are you right? "

"This ......... Of course, Mr. Rhodes."

Keller responded with some confusion, and until now, he still couldn't figure out what the relationship between Rhode's coming here and himself said? reel? Our Keller Chamber of Commerce sells ore. Magic items have nothing to do with us.

"However, when we cleaned the battlefield, I found a lot of flame scrolls from the poor insects before. They were all from the shops in Deep Stone City, and I also found this."

As he said, Rhode reached out and placed a ring on the table, and when he saw the ring, Keller's complexion suddenly turned pale.

"Mr. Keller, if I remember correctly, the noble family is engaged in the ore business ......... Are you planning to change to the magic scroll business now? I have already gone to those shops to confirm that it is indeed the Keller family's mark And for that ... I hope to get an explanation. "

Having said that, Rhode retracted back to the sofa, his eyes closed slightly, looking at the man in front of him.

And at this moment, Keller was already pale.

He certainly knew where the ring came from, because it was exactly his daughter's ring.

But now, Keller finally found that things were big.
