Summoning the Holy Sword

When Rhodes walked into the room under the guidance of the maid, the scene in front of him jumped inwardly.

I saw Lydia lying lazily on the bright red velvet sofa in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Her white and thin clothes wrapped her body, and the soft silk set off the rugged, seductive curves. The two slender legs stretched out like this, and even people couldn't help but want to take a closer look. The golden long hair dangles like a waterfall, contrasting with the white and delicate skin, which adds a bit of dazzling luster. The slender arms stretched out of the thin clothing, and some playfully shaking the paper in their hands. I wonder if the highness was concentrating on information or just playing.

I have to say that when he walks into the room and sees such a beautiful girl, a man can't help but feel excited, and Rhodes is no exception, but he just glanced and quickly turned his attention to Litty. Asian face. But even so, Rhodes secretly slandered, and he and Lydia have seen each other several times. It seems that he has never seen the highness of his Highness, except in the midsummer ceremony. The costume came out to see a visitor, she would not have been wearing this dress in the castle.

Seeing Rhodes walk in, Lydia smiled at him and motioned him to sit down. Then I sat up and put the things in my hand on the table --- Strange to say, Lydia's movements were not small, but the clothes on her body didn't mean to slip down. It's really an eerie thing, does this world also have a harmonious system?

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm relieved to see that you look good, Lord Rhodes ...... Gaya has a great opinion of you."

Lydia mentioned Gaya as soon as she spoke, which also made Rhodes raise her eyebrows. Of course, he knew that Lydia couldn't possibly wonder what she thought and why, but now it looks like ……… It seems nothing happened. As bad as you expected? If that's the case, then it is a good thing. Thinking of this, Rhode said nothing, and looked at Lydia quietly, waiting for his next words. And Lydia did not respond to Rhode's silence, but continued to smile.

"I have heard Gaya talk about the specific situation. This time Li Jie did a good job. To be honest, although I expected Li Jie to have such potential, but she can do this step. Unexpected. Of course, my lovely sister's performance is not perfect, but it is worthy of praise, do you mean it? Sir Rhodes? "

"Of course, Your Highness."

It wasn't until this time that Rhodes spoke.

"I am very satisfied with Li Jie's performance, at least considering her situation, it is not easy to do this step."

"Yes ... Sir Rhodes, it seems that my decision to give my sister to you to take care of me is indeed a very happy decision. But ..." said here, Lidia's eyes narrowed. Rising, although still smiling, Rhodes felt an unprecedented pressure. "Sir Rhode, I do n’t want my lovely sister to be harmed, do you understand? The war is cruel, and it is inevitable that she has her choice, but I do n’t want her to sink because of the war, It is to be able to live a happy life, I think, you should understand what I mean. "

"This is of course, Your Highness."

Hearing Lydia's words, Rhode's expression did not change, but he nodded slightly in agreement. After receiving Rhode's answer, Lydia smiled with satisfaction. Then, she reached out and picked up a page of information on the desk again. Until then, the archangel face It was the first time I smiled.

"Well, now you can elaborate on the situation in Grosso and Fiat, Rodriguez."

It really came.

Hearing this sentence, Rhodes looked pale, but soon he calmed down his inner emotions and began to calmly report to Lydia about the mission report of Grosso and Fiat. Of course, Rhodes would not be stupid enough to tell Lydia that he had created the undead army, and he also used the common saying of the southern people, saying that when he arrived at Grosso, he happened to see that there was such an undead army. The Grosso area is raging, and in order to avoid revealing his identity, Rhodes stays hidden until the undead army intends to attack the city. Then he takes the opportunity to send Celia to kill the other party, while the Grosso area is empty. There was a big fire at the right time, and it was burned clean.

When presenting to Lydia, Rhodes did not make a special explanation. Although Lydia should know that there is a devil in that undead army, but she never let Serestina be in Lydia. Ah had exposed her true identity before her, so even if she guessed something, it had nothing to do with herself—at least on the surface, it had nothing to do with it.

As for Fiat, it is even simpler. Rhode basically basically repeated the words he used to flirt Emily in front of Lydia. Of course, he did not forget to mention the uninvited guest Andrea who appeared last. Naturally, Rhode also explained to Lydia. Anyway, that man is also a member of the guardian of the sword, and he also got the sigh of the sea god. It is obviously uneasy to appear in Fiat this time. However, this is not something that Rhodes needs to worry about. He only needs to report objectively to Lydia about the man's situation. Then what should be done next, Lydia is obviously quite clear.

Rhode's narration didn't take long, and after listening to Rhode's words, Lydia didn't give the first answer. Instead, she just sat there quietly, staring at Rhode. After more than ten minutes, the grandpa spoke for the first time.

"Sir Rhode, what do you think is beautiful?"

"nice?"

Hearing here, Rhodes raised an eyebrow. He looked at Lydia, but did not answer immediately because he knew that Lydia had the following. Sure enough, Lydia leaned back on the sofa soon, then folded her hands, staring at Rhode with a smile.

"I think this world is a beautiful world, and each life has its own unique and shining highlights. It is these bright spots that combine to make this dazzling world. But under the light, it is inevitable There are shadows. Ugly is to support the existence of beauty. I don't deny the value of ugliness, but ......... Those ugly, vulgar and dirty will gradually pollute this beautiful world and make them lose their original glory. ... and all of this stems from fear ... Sir Rhodes, I can understand your pursuit of victory. And I am very grateful for the sacrifices and choices you have made for the task. But ... if you want to get Wouldn't it be sad if some things had to be abandoned? "

Lydia did not make it straightforward, but Rhode had understood her meaning. Obviously, the archangel was not a fool. She had some conclusions about whether Rhode really believed that Rhode spoke, and The current level is his final test.

Hearing Lydia's words, Rhode was silent for a moment, then looked up, he looked at Lydia in front of him without flinching, and did not mean to avoid it. Then Rhodes started to continue.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can understand your thoughts, but for me ... Only victory is my pursuit. I can understand the efforts and sacrifices made by those losers, their dedication and spirit. However, I cannot accept such a failure. For me, victory is the only one. Any failure will only bring pain, not joy. I can accept the consolation of the loser as a winner, but I do n’t I accept that I am comforted as a loser. I can understand your aesthetics, but from my standpoint, I have no way to agree with you. "

"......... In other words, are you willing to sacrifice everything for victory? Sir Rhodes?"

Upon hearing this, Lydia's eyes flashed with a complex and curious light, but in the face of her inquiry, Rhodes shook her head steadily.

"Sorry, Your Highness, I never thought about sacrificing everything to win. Victory is not a single individual. Why do I have to sacrifice everything for victory? What I expect is not that kind of thing, I What I expect is a victory that I can enjoy with the people around me. Not when there is no one around me when the victory comes. Such a victory may be full of tragic beauty, but for me it is It's meaningless. And in order to avoid the situation where everything needs to be sacrificed, I will 'do my best' to achieve my expectations ... Your Highness, please forgive me, forsake everything, and the ultimate victory lies in me It doesn't seem to make sense. If they can't protect what they should protect, and timidly chooses to give up, then it can only show that they are downright losers. Only incapable people will face such choices, even if they stand there. Finally, I would not take it for granted that they should accept cheers and glory. I admit that in the pursuit of victory, It is inevitable, but if you want to give up everything for this purpose, but they also are slaves of desire nothing more. "

After Rhode said this, both eyes blinked at the archangel in front of him, and Lydia stared at him quietly. After a while, the archangel smiled slightly.

"It's interesting, Lord Rhodes, it's very interesting ...... I admit that your thoughts have really refreshed me, so this time, I will not investigate the Grosso area, and I hope that the souls of the people who have been killed can be obtained rest in peace."

Speaking of which, Lydia paused, then she looked at Rhode with a smile.

"So, let's talk about another thing next."
