Summoning the Holy Sword

After Andre turned around and slipped away, the incident came to an end. Although everyone did not think that the young man really read it wrong, they were not fools, and naturally understood that the lady in front of her was not good. Ran, and after leaving behind, the Howard Chamber of Commerce quickly slipped away, without people to support, they can not continue to stay here again. Of course, for these two chambers of commerce, things are far from over. In any case, Fiat's mine is the only support for the two chambers of commerce, so no matter what, they still have to come up with a solution to deal with the current This troublesome situation.

But for Rhodes, his task has ended. No matter how much Fiat will toss in the future, it has nothing to do with him, let alone that Rhodes is more concerned about the issue of the northern defense of Pafield. After completing these two tasks, Rhodes also plans for Lydia. Already searching for clues, he knows what Lydia wants to do, and if all goes well, maybe he will have a chance to play his favorite game again ... and that ’s why, in the first Early in the morning, Rhodes packed his salute and left the Chamber of Commerce with Celia and Celestina. Of course, they did not forget to say hello to the temporary agent of the Chamber of Commerce before leaving.

"Hey?"

Emily's tea cup “popped” on the table, and the hot black tea tumbled out of the tea cup, soaking the solid wooden table top and the paper scattered in it, but Emily didn't care at all For these, she just stared blankly at the "Miss Salem", stunned, wondering what to say.

"Miss Cylon, you, you said you were leaving here?"

"Yes, Miss Emily."

Rhode smiled apologetically. He nodded slightly to Emily before he said.

"Although I'm very sorry for my actions that have caused a lot of trouble to your business, and even caused you to lose your father, it is a pity that I am a businessman after all. This time I went to your business Originally, it was intended to negotiate ore trading, but from the current situation, the situation in the Fiat area seems to be much more complicated than what we think of the Cylon Chamber of Commerce. Such a thing happened in the mine, I think it will not be possible in a short time. Production has resumed. Then it makes no sense for me to stay here, so I intend to leave and prepare to leave. Miss Emily. "

"But, but ..."

Facing Rhode's words, Emily was in a hurry, waving her hands stammered, as if she didn't even know what she should say. Frankly, this farewell of "Miss Salen" was not unexpected, but for Emily, she could not accept such a fact for a while. Although it's only been two days since I met this lady, Emily feels like she has been with her at the first sight, like an old friend who has been around for a long time. But now that my father has such a thing, I still have to continue to be responsible for the affairs of the entire chamber of commerce, adjust the interests of those businessmen, and be busy in their complaints and quarrels. Sometimes Emily really feels very painful, does she herself Isn't it the saddest person? It's her who lost her father! But the businessmen did not seem to care about her at all, just arguing for their own benefit. For the first time, Emily felt that these people were so cold-blooded and ruthless. She hoped that she could be accompanied by her personally, comfort her, care for her, and let her rely on it. This is also Emily's only current expectation.

However, after learning that "Miss Salem" was about to leave, Emily only felt that the floor beneath her feet was directly pulled off by this person, and the whole person fell into the endless void.

"Sai, Miss Sairen, can you stay a few more days? I ........."

"I don't think it's better to disturb you, Miss Emily, now your chamber of commerce is in a very special period, and there are many periods to be dealt with and resolved. As an outsider, it is really difficult for me to stay here. No good, and ... I didn't expect that there would be such a brutal mob in Fiat. Miss Emily, please be careful of the Howard Chamber of Commerce. Their conspiracy has not succeeded. I think they may continue to You started. "

Having said that, Rhodes stepped forward, stretched out his right hand with a smile, and stroked Emily's cheek lightly.

"I'm glad to meet you, Miss Emily. It's not easy to meet a trusted friend in a foreign country. I will remember you."

After saying this, Rhodes took two steps back, lifted his skirt gently, and performed a salute.

"So, goodbye, Miss Emily, I hope you can achieve your dream soon."

The door closing sounded.

Emily stared blankly at the closed door in front of her eyes, and remained silent for a long time. In the end, she suddenly gritted her teeth as if making a decision, turned and walked to the bookshelf, and then took out a book from it and laid Drive off, then she picked up the quill next to it, trembling and forced to start writing something on it ......... "Is this really good? Master?"

On the carriage, Serestina's eyes moved, and she looked at Rhode with a sarcastic smile, and in the face of her gaze, Rhode raised her eyebrow. Seeing Rhodes' expression and reaction, Serestina smiled slightly, and then she continued to speak.

"You just left that girl. Didn't you see that she was sad? Why don't you take out the one you are best at and let the girl quietly become your slave? It ’s also very interesting, and is n’t it your favorite for the owner? ”

"I'm the one who clearly separates personal interests and work, Serestina."

Facing Serestina's sarcasm, Rhodes converged with a smile and lowered his face again, revealing the frosty expression on his face, but this did not affect Serestina and Celia. And change their attitude, because for them, this is Rhode's normal expression, not the smile that looked gentle and kind before.

"Work is work, and you can't carry personal feelings when you complete the task. Not to mention ... I don't have no way to satisfy my personal hobby." Said here, Rhode took a meaningful look at Serestina. The latter changed his face slightly after noticing Rhode's eyes, and then he turned his head and looked out the window, and ignored Rhode. There was only one Celia left in the middle of the two, and she had no idea what Rhodes and Serestina were communicating with each other. She looked at this and looked at that, and saw that the two had no intention of speaking. The meaning of the explanation, then shut up and no longer ask ... For War Angel, gossip about others' privacy is not her hobby.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Celestina, who was looking out of the window, suddenly opened her eyes slightly. She looked at the window with interest, and then asked with a chuckle.

"Master, you said just now that you clearly distinguish between work and personal interests, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"So now that our task has been completed, shouldn't you mind enjoying it?"

"………………?"

Just as Rhodes noticed something wrong and frowned, the carriage suddenly slowed down, and then stopped at the side of the road. Until then, a panting voice sounded, and for Rhodes, this voice It's not familiar, but it's definitely not unfamiliar-just now, he also talked to the owner of this voice.

"Wait a moment, please, Miss Celen !!!"

At the call of Emily, Rhodes frowned slightly, but eventually he chose to open the door and walked out of the carriage—at the same time, he completely ignored Serice, who was obviously with a playful smile on the opposite side. Tina. After getting out of the carriage, Rhode quickly saw Emily's figure, and saw that she was holding a small bag in one hand and ran towards her desperately. At this time Rhodes noticed that Emily was not wearing the same home clothes she had worn when she met her, but a suit that was convenient for field operations. This made Rhodes's eyes twitched a bit ... The Holy Soul was on top, could it be said that ... wouldn't ......... Although he was still muttering, he ran towards himself as he panted. For Emily, Rhode still showed the gentle and elegant smile before.

"What's wrong? Miss Emily? Anything else?"

"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ..."

Emily was out of breath and ran to Rhodes in this way. It can be seen that she has run a long way behind the carriage. Fortunately, Rhodes carriage has just hit the road and did not leave Fiat. City, or look at the appearance of this young lady, I am afraid that I will chase the carriage directly to the old forest in the mountains.

After a while, Emily took her breath away. She looked up and stared at Rhodes. After a moment, Emily seemed to have made up her mind and gritted her teeth, then she said.

"Say, Miss Syron ......... If you can, would you please take me out of here?"

"……………………………”

I went there ... Rhode so deeply realized how accurate the saying can't be arbitrarily spoken, and the mission can't be arbitrarily accurate. Although Rhodes had already noticed when Emily came to find herself, but He still doesn't believe that Emily will simply give up the life of the Chamber of Commerce like this and become a traveling businessman with herself? Is this part of the mission? What international joke! If Rhodes is really a female surnamed merchant player, then there is no problem in bringing Emily to the road, but the problem is that not only is Rhodes' merchant identity, but even his surname is disguised ... And now Rhodes is anxious Returning to the front of Pafield to cope with the ensuing offensive of the reformers, where is the time to accompany Emily on a traveling merchant trip?

However, Rhodes did not reject Emily's request at all, he just stared at the girl quietly and did not speak for a long time. Seeing Rhode's reaction, Emily also bowed her head a little uneasily, just like a student scolded by the teacher, wondering what to do. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. Knowing this time, Rhode's voice sounded again.

"Why? Miss Emily?"

"Because ......... because ..."

Facing Rhode's inquiries, Emily opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say at all. Before leaving, she clearly came up with so many reasons, so many words she wanted to say to "Miss Salem" Talk, but after seeing her with her own eyes, Emily's full words were inexplicable.

"because I……………"

"I don't know what you're thinking, Miss Emily, but I won't take you away from here ... I can understand that you are painful and sad after losing your father. But ... this is not you Reasons to choose to leave, Miss Emily, you are not yet capable enough to embark on the journey to become a travel merchant. Moreover, as a citizen of a country of light, I cannot take you out of the country without permission, especially It's in such a sensitive period now. "

"But Miss Cylon, I ........."

At this point, Emily could not help but say what she wanted to say, but she had just spoken, and Rhode put out a finger to her mouth, blocking her from talking.

"This is the first lesson for traveling businessmen. On the road of travel, you will always be a person, and businessmen are also human beings. They are qualified for pain and sorrow, but in their lives, 'quotient' is placed in In front of people. Escape cannot solve the problem, Miss Emily. If you can't read like a businessman, then you have no way to travel with me, sorry, but now frankly, Amy Miss Li, you don't have enough qualifications to embark on this path. "

"..............."

Hearing Rhode's words, Emily's shoulders suddenly relaxed. At this moment, she looked like a helpless deflated balloon.

"Can I really not be able to travel with you? Miss Celon?"

"Yes, Miss Emily, at least for now, you don't have that ability."

"So ... when will I be able to do enough?"

"When you pick up your backpack again without hesitation and reluctance."

After saying this, Rhode glanced at Emily again for a while, and did not know what to say, and smiled.

"You have this qualification, and I assure you, Miss Emily. If you are willing to stick with it, you will become a very good travel merchant. But that is not the moment. Because you are not there now. Ability, even if you are not ready. "

Having said that, Rhode glanced up at the sky.

"It's getting late, Miss Emily, it's time for you to go back ......... Then, good-bye, I look forward to seeing you next time, you are already a good travel merchant." After saying this, Rhodes Salute Emily again, then turn around and leave, and seeing her figure on the carriage again, Emily reacted, she reached out, and wanted to say something to Rod, but at this time The carriage door has been closed again, completely isolating her words and actions. Then the coachman raised his whip again, and the carriage returned to the road, heading for the distance.

Emily gazed at the distant carriage, retracted her right hand, stared at her palm, and then smiled bitterly.

"Just ... the travelling merchant isn't a crying child ... Ms. Sairen is right, and now I am indeed not qualified to join her on the road, but ..."

Speaking of this, Emily clenched her right hand.

"Someday I will be a great travel trader, Miss Celon."

"call……………"

Leaning on the back of the carriage, Rhode closed his eyes and took a deep breath. I have to say that Emily's last surprise attack really surprised him. Fortunately, Rhodes responded quickly and refused her request without giving Emily time to think, but ... Rhodes could not help wrinkling. Brow a brow, so that you can still complete the "flaming rose" task? Thinking of this, Rhodes quickly closed his eyes, and then called up the system panel. Soon, he saw a row of dimmed system prompts, and when he saw the system prompts, Rhode smiled bitterly.

"What's wrong? Master?"

Seeing that Rhodes suddenly laughed, Celia asked involuntarily, and when she heard her inquiry, Rhodes just shrugged and shook his head.

"It's nothing, Celia, it's just ...... sometimes, some things, really can't be forced."

Having said that, Rhode turned his head and looked at the sky out of the car window.

I do n’t know how Lijie is doing?

If Li Jie can hear Rhodes' mind, then she will definitely answer neatly.

Not good, very bad.

At this moment the girl was sitting on the icy chair inside the fortress, watching the crowd in front of her. The atmosphere at the scene was very hot, but for Li Jie, it felt as cold as a cemetery. It wasn't a physiological response, but a more intrinsic, stress from the heart.

"Our recent investigation found that the group of reform masters became more and more dishonest. The scouts they sent to the front line for investigation in the past two days have doubled. Hey, I don't think this is a good sign. The same is true for Bien. The other party seems to have hired a lot of rangers and hunters. These days there are obviously more troublesome things than before. "

"Does it mean the chance of being found?"

"Hahaha, you are really joking, Miss Qilian. We are also trained by Lord Canary and Lord Bubble, and you go back and tell them that we will actually be discovered by a group of rookies, then I'll hurry up to the front. Let's die ...... that doesn't mean it, I mean, these guys seem to be keen to pull out the whistle recently, and I suspect that the reform masters may have big moves next. "

"Well ... it's not impossible, Xiao Lijie, do you have any questions?"

"Hey?!"

Suddenly felt that everyone's eyes were looking at herself, Li Jie could not help but immediately nervous, she hesitated for a moment, and then quietly asked.

"That ... ……. Look at this. How many people are there in the other party?"

"It's hard to say, Miss Li Jie, but according to Rando and I, the number of each other is large this time, it should be about 10,000."

"......... What about their arms?"

"This ......... this one you really asked me, Miss Lijie, I'm not the enemy's commander, how do I know this. But the group of guys under Lando didn't see a large number of warhorses nearby. Traces, so it is unlikely to be a cavalry. According to the results of our investigation, they are basically infantry and archers. Of course, we are only responsible for investigating the surroundings of the Mist Fortress, a little further away. We also do n’t know. This time those guys were quite cunning. They laid the camp deep in the line of defense. For security reasons, we did n’t dare to go too deep. But from the attitude of these guys, I do n’t think this time It's just as simple as before. "

"Did the fortress commander be notified?"

Hearing Li Jie's question, Joey, who was originally sitting in a chair, showed a smiley expression. He split his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, Qilian next to him coughed slightly. Soon. Hearing this voice, Joey first glanced at the Qilian, shaking her ears and tail, and then he quickly converged, then quickly lowered his head.

"Well ... Miss Li Jie, we are working for the guild. The fortress group of guys don't give us croups. We have to inform ourselves first of all."

"Uh……………"

Upon hearing Joey's answer, Li Jie was reddish, but she nodded.

"I see, Joey, thank you, I'll think about it. By the way, I have trouble you and Mr. Lando in the past two days to pay more attention to the surrounding situation, especially at night. Of course, you also have to Beware, I heard that the fog has been thick these days, so be careful. "

"Relax, Miss Li Jie, it's a big deal to run across from the other side and hide for one night. By the way, you should be investigating intelligence, rest assured!"

"Um ......... then ........."

Speaking of this, Li Jie paused, she looked up, looked at the people all around, and finally sighed with imperceptibility.

"Well, that's it, I will find a way."

"Okay, Miss Lijie."

"Okay, I know."

Hearing Li Jie's words, everyone sitting up got up and left, and until they all left the room, Li Jie leaned on the back of the chair and sighed for a long time.

"Failed again ..."

Then, the girl whispered to herself inconceivably.
