Summoning the Holy Sword

Fiat is a mining city, but it is still too small compared to Shenshicheng. This is also the weakness of the southern region. Most of them focus on business and processing industries, but they lack interest in basic industries. Therefore, most of the South imported raw materials from the North and then processed and sold them. Because of this, they always felt that they were inferior to the group of Yankees who only knew how to work hard. You worked hard in the mountains and forests. Trees can only sell a few broken gold coins, but when we come to us, we can make luxurious furniture and decorations with a little processing. At that time, there are hundreds of thousands of gold coins ......... the muscles in the northern group are only muscles How does the wild man understand this?

Therefore, the contradictions between the North and the South are at multiple levels. They are not only because of the misconceptions about the ruling class and the gap between the rich and the poor. This superior mentality also accounts for the majority. The South, relying on its extensive transportation network, is not afraid of the north's complaints. In their opinion, even if the group of Yankees complains so much, in the end, they will not have to obediently work for us like a slave, without us, I'm afraid they can't even eat their full meals.

Under this general mentality, southerners are not very concerned about this basic industry, and naturally those who do this kind of work are mostly despised. Therefore, in a large southern region, only Grosso and Fiat are still basic industries, and the rest of the region are mostly commerce and processing industries. And because the ore and grain in the Grosso and Fiat regions have no price advantage over their northern neighbors, their original influence in the south was very small. But now that the resources from the north have been lost, and the Grosso area has been completely tortured by Rhodes, then only Fiat remains.

However, the Southern Parliament is too late to care about Fiat. First of all, this is a small mine. The total amount of ore produced every year is not much, and the Southern Parliament is suffering from the food crisis caused by the Grosso area. They let go of the granaries and stabilized the restless people more or less, but the reformers themselves knew that this was only a tactic of slowing down their troops. If they couldn't find a stable source of food, they would never be smooth sailing.

Because of this, they have no time or time to notice this small city nestled in the mountains.

When Rhodes rode into the small mining city, he noticed that it was very peaceful, perhaps because it was not closely connected with other places, or because it was far enough away from Grosso. The storm that Germany set off didn't seem to affect it, but he didn't care.

Withdrawing his gaze from the carriage window, Rhode raised his eyebrow, then looked at sitting opposite him, looking at Serestina with a meaningful expression, and seeing Rhode looking at himself, the devil The young lady just showed a taunted smile, but Rhode didn't say much, and he also knew exactly what was going on in the minds of the two people around him.

Anyone who has followed Rhodes for a while, it will be clear that he does not like others to think of herself as a woman, but this time, he actively put on women's clothing, which is obviously a very good thing for some people. Talk. And this is why Roding would rather travel alone than take Anne and others away. After all, if there is only a summoning elf on hand, they will not say anything even if they see anything. But if you let others see ... then Rhodes might as well die.

Celia is better, the war angel girl sits quietly without squinting, watching the scenery intently, and seems to have no opinion on Rhodes's outfit. But Serestina is different. After a while, she looks at Rod on the opposite side with teasing and taunting eyes. Obviously, in Serestina's view, this is also reported to Rodje Be the enemy of a dart of his maid. However, Rhodes' performance has disappointed Serestina. Even under his own eyes, he did not show the slightest discomfort, shame, or embarrassment. On the contrary, he was generous and showed no difference from an ordinary woman. . As if facing Serestina's gaze at the moment, instead of turning his head as if he hadn't seen it, instead, he showed a soft, elegant smile to Serestina—as if he really Is like a well-educated young lady.

Really shameless! !!

Seeing Rhode's smile, Serestina gritted her teeth unevenly. Eventually she turned around and looked out the window—but this does not mean that Serestina just gave up. Now, when she finds a chance, the young lady will never mind mocking Rhodes severely.

Seeing that Serestina confessed, Rhodes didn't say much. Since he played this false identity, he let go of it, although he said that a man dressed as a woman, especially Rhodes, was disgusted because of innate conditions. As a woman, the current situation should be a torment. In fact, before wearing the women's clothing, Rhodes did have some reluctance, but after putting on the women's clothing, Rhodes let go. This is like acting. It is normal for a person to step onto the stage and face so many people's gaze that they are extremely shy and unable to show. Only by letting go of yourself and not worrying and paying attention to the eyes of the outside world can you be the last. Now, for victory, Rhodes can't control that much. Now that you've done all of that, don't be so shy—what's the use of holding it at this time? As a big deal, I opened a personal demon account in the game as I did. There are more players who do this, and I don't see any psychological burden on them.

At this time, the carriage had slowed down. Through the window, Rhodes could see the door of the Chamber of Commerce getting closer and closer-this is also Rhodes' goal this time.

In Fiat, the mine resources are controlled by two families, one is the Edward family, and the other is the Howard family. These two families started as mines, each of which holds half of the mineral resources here-of course, this It is only on the surface, and in fact, the resources held by the two sides are also somewhat different.

The Howard family mainly controls crystal ore, while the Edward family controls silver and iron ore. Because Fiat's ore production here is still abundant, it can still meet the needs of both. However, both sides are obviously not satisfied with this, but shove their heads hard to dig each other's corner. Try to make your own family become the real master of the Fiat region.

Of course, the competition between the two is not limited to this level. It is also the same in political stance. The Howard family, who owns the crystal mines, prefers the royal party, and most of the crystal mines in their hands are sold to the north for making magic technology and weapons. The Edward family, who controls the silver and iron mines, is an obvious reformer. They have always regarded the Howard family as traitors and enemies, and the battle between the two sides has never subsided.

Before arriving here, Rhodes also did some investigations. Right now in Fiat, the two families can be said to be evenly matched. Earlier during the Midsummer Festival, the Edward family suffered heavy losses because they supported the wings of freedom and Lawson. The Howard family took the opportunity to take the upper hand. Originally, they could take advantage of this opportunity to swallow the entire Fiat in one go and solve their own confidants. But I didn't expect 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi, when the Howard family sharpened the knife Howard was about to start against the Edward family, the reformists announced that reading --- the Howard family who lost the royal family support immediately stunned, and the original The Edward family oppressed by him took this opportunity to resurrect. At present, the forces on both sides can be said to be evenly matched, but the situation is moving towards the Edward family. In any case, for the Howard family, there is no royal support at the moment. They It is also difficult to support alone.

This decadence is not just as simple as what Rhodes has heard. He can even see the door of the Howard Chamber of Commerce through the window of a carriage—there is a lonely, imminent look of closing the door. It is no wonder that Howard ’s crystal mine was originally used to make magic weapons and technology. Most of their output here was sold directly to the King ’s Party. Now that the traffic line is blocked, of course, the Howard family ca n’t help it anymore. Ship the crystal ore over. And their reputation in the South is not good, and no one is willing to do business with them right now. So the Howard family is getting worse.

But this time, Rhodes didn't intend to give the Howard family charcoal in the snow. Once he didn't have the spare time, on the other hand, he went to the Howard family at the cusp of the blast, didn't he cause himself trouble? The reason why Rhodes chose to come here in disguise is not to avoid his own "hatred". How could he go on to hate himself stupidly?

So his goal this time is completely different.

The carriage stopped in front of the Edward's Mine Chamber of Commerce.

Celia first got out of the carriage and opened the door for Rhodes from the other side, while Rhodes lifted the skirt and walked out of the carriage gracefully, and saw Rhodes' movement, Serestina Leaning his mouth, he reluctantly followed Rhodes out of the carriage.

Both Rhodes, Celia, and Celestina have outstanding looks, and with their own unique temperament, it is naturally easy to attract the attention of others. As soon as the three of them appeared, the busy people outside the Chamber of Commerce suddenly turned their attention to them. Soon, a well-dressed man who looked like a Chamber of Commerce greeted him from the Chamber of Commerce and came to Rhodes. before.

"Welcome to the Edward Chamber of Commerce. May I help you?"

"Hello, this gentleman."

Looking at the man in front of him, Rhode smiled, then he nodded in return as a reply, and at the same time he replied-and at this time Rhode's voice was not the kind of low voice, but more similar to The gentle, soft voice he spoke to Christie. It's just that compared to that time, Rhodes' voice is softer at this moment, with a little more surname tone. This makes Celia and Serestina behind him a little surprised. With a glance, they didn't know that Rhodes had such a skill. However, Rhode apparently didn't care about the expressions of his two subordinates. He first smiled at the man in front of him, and then took out a piece of parchment paper with a badge and ink pads from his clothes.

"I am Miranda Salem from the Salem Chamber of Commerce in the Country of Light. I am here on behalf of the Salem Chamber of Commerce, and I hope to discuss the purchase of ore with your chamber of commerce ..."

"Oh?"

Hearing this expression, there was a hint of joy in the man's eyes, he hurriedly reached out, respectfully took the parchment paper in Rhode's hand, opened it, and quickly glanced, then he immediately nodded and collected the parchment paper. Arms, then turned to the side and made an invitation gesture to Rhodes and others.

"Come in, dear Miss Cylon. I will report this to the chairman immediately, and I believe he will be very interested in it."

Led by the man, Rhodes, Celia, and Celestina came to a luxuriously decorated lounge in the chamber of commerce. After ordering the servants to entertain them, the man had an excuse to rule The president of the chamber of commerce can't wait to leave. Although his performance is natural, Rod is still very clear that this guy must take this opportunity to confirm his identity. After all, as a chamber of commerce, the only thing they have to worry about is a liar other than a robber. Although money is something outside of the body, it is more important to a businessman than anything else. They didn't directly reduce their brain IQ because they saw the three beauties and what the other person said was what. If there is such a person, then he must not be suitable as a businessman.

Although his identity was forged, Rhodes wasn't worried at all, he just sat there and drank tea. On the contrary, Serestina standing behind him was quite uncomfortable --- instead of Ping Yue, she was the one sitting there leisurely, and now she wants to stand like a servant It was a shame to serve Rhodes behind him!

Although she was very, very upset, Serestina's professionalism was still very good. She stood there straight, and she didn't seem to have any problems on the surface. Not to mention Celia, she was as quiet as ever and didn't talk much, but looked curiously at this luxurious reception room.

Rhode took the opportunity to drink black tea while rethinking his plan deep inside. This time he chose to come to the Edward Chamber of Commerce precisely to completely destroy the mine here. The way Rhodes needs to take is very simple. As a player who is no longer familiar with the Principality of Muen, he knows that a soil element creature is sealed under the mine, and it is because of this that The two families mined here to compete for their own strength, and finally lifted the seal, which provoked the earth element creature. Then the player can get a new copy of the mission here, the main task of which is to destroy this earth elemental creature and regain the mine hole.

But this time Rhodes did not intend to destroy this earth elemental creature, although in terms of strength, he is not without opportunities. According to Rhodes' memory, the level of this earth elemental creature is about forty-five to fifty, and it belongs to the elemental lord of the vertical level. Of course, this is still a big difference from the lord of the level of Qi Lian, but anyway, it is also a lord creature. Rhodes made this decision because of his ability to indulge and command other low-level earth elemental creatures. After all, here, a level 50 earth element lord can also be regarded as walking sideways, and there is no fear of being destroyed. In this way, the entire mine is naturally blocked, and there is no way to dig the ore, and the south naturally loses the last source they rely on.

Even if the reformists were really desperate enough to find someone to destroy this earth elemental creature, Rhodes was not worried, but he knew very well that this earth elemental creature had been completely integrated with this mine, whether it was to seal it or destroy it It, if anyone dares to do so, then with the complete collapse of the earth elemental creatures, this mine will also completely collapse-this saves Rhodes's things instead.

The reason why Rhodes chose to disguise himself came to the door because the seal of the earth element creature was deep in the mining area owned by the Edwards and Howards. If he alone wanted to lift him That seal is not easy. Because of this, Rhodes hit his idea on the Edward family. After all, it's always good to not have your hands dirty.

Moreover, there was something he could use ......... When Rhode thought about it, he heard a rush of footsteps from the door, and then the man's voice sounded a little panic outside the door.

"Miss, you can't go in. But ..."

"I know, Uncle Hans, but this time my father father gave it to me. Rest assured, I won't mess it up."

Along with this voice, the door of the reception room opened again, and then a woman with red curly hair like flames and wearing a light clothing worn by a merchant came in. Seeing Rhodes sitting on the sofa drinking tea leisurely, the red-haired woman could not help but pause, but soon she came to Rhodes with an excited and enthusiastic smile, and stretched out her hand with a smile.

"Hello, Ms. Seren. I'm Emily from the Edward Chamber of Commerce. I am under the authority of my father— ah, no, I am ordered by the President to come to deal with the specific matters concerning the ore trade with your chamber of commerce. , If you have any questions, you can ask me, and I promise to answer any questions. "

"... Hello, Miss Emily."

finally come.

Looking at the hot red-haired woman in front of her eyes, Rhode raised her eyebrows slightly, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. The reason why he came here as a woman was because of this scene. From the current situation, things are going very smoothly in the direction they expect. Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly stood up, first smiling elegantly at Emily, and then reached out.

"My name is Miranda Seren ... I hope we can cooperate happily."

In every way.

While holding Emily's palm, Rhode said deep down.
