Summoning the Holy Sword
Chapter 60: Unexpected guest
At this moment, Keller felt that Rhodes' identity was becoming more and more confused. In fact, at the beginning, he did n’t take Rhode ’s aristocratic identity too seriously, because the aristocracy is equally divided into three, six and nine. Many times, as long as he has money, he can get a low-level noble title, and I heard that Rhodes From the eastern mountain plains, that place is ancient and closed and self-contained. So Keller didn't pay much attention to it. But now he has to change his mind. In any case, to be able to get to know the people of the Xenia family, this is definitely not what ordinary nobles can do. The Shania family has a huge power and has an influential influence in the entire Muen country. Although the Keller family is also considered to be rich, it is like a small fish struggling to survive in the mouth of the big fish. Fish can only be eaten by the shrimp.
Marlene Xenia ’s name, Keller, has naturally been heard of. The magic genius that is rare in the family for a century, has reached the field of Central at a young age, and the future is limitless. There are even rumors that she has a great future. It is possible to join the court mage guard, such a character is not easy to deal with, and now that she is standing behind Rhodes, does this suggest that Rhodes's identity is higher than her?
If Marlene knew Keller's inner thoughts at this moment, she would immediately turn her face and give him a few fireballs in a rage to make this rude guy sober and awake. In fact, the reason she stood behind Rhode was just to Convenience and Li Jie just whispered, as for the status or something ... At least Marin thinks she is higher than everyone present, doesn't she?
Keller, who knew nothing about this, became more respectful after that, whisperingly invited the three to take a seat, and his performance also attracted a lot of guests' discussions. After all, Keller was also a party in Deep Rock Characters are rare when whispered, making everyone curious about the identity of Rhodes and others.
I don't know if it was intentional or not. Keller arranged the three of them right next to Serek, and when he saw Rhodes and others, the swordsman master stood up with a smile and greeted them.
"Hello, Mr. Rhode, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Hello, Mr. Serek."
Rhode took Serek's hand and nodded slightly.
"If it were not for Mr. Keller's invitation, I don't think I would have a chance to come here."
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Serek smiled and said nothing, and then he looked at Malin standing next to Rhode with a little blame.
"I've heard from Hank, Miss, you've made this decision ... somewhat ..."
"I don't think I did something wrong, Uncle Serek."
Marilyn raised her chin proudly.
"You also know that my father sent me here just for me to exercise. But I was always locked in the house, which was not good for me. I think Mr. Rhodes can help me, so I chose to join his mercenary regiment, and we successfully completed the mission, everything was perfect, wasn't it? "
"I don't know how to explain it to your father if you have a long and short."
Serek shook his head with a bitter smile. But Marlene obviously didn't appreciate it.
"I make my own decisions, and I will naturally explain to my father."
She replied slightly dissatisfied, then took Lijie's hand and turned away.
"Hey ...... what a big lady named ..."
Looking at the back of Malin's departure, Serek sighed helplessly, then turned his head and looked at Rhodes.
"The child will take care of you, Mr. Rhode. I hope you can take good care of her. This lady still has the ability, and she has a surname too proud. It is no wonder that she has such strength and talent There is also such a qualification. But in this world, strength and talent are not everything. If she continues like this, I'm afraid she will suffer. "
Having said that, Serek suddenly approached Rhodes, lowering his voice.
"Speaking of which, we have recently received strange information. The agents of the kingdom of light are asking around, looking for a young man with dark hair who will use strange summoning elf."
Hearing this, Rhodes raised a brow slightly. But he didn't speak, as Serek apparently had the following.
"Is there anything wrong with you?"
Serek's tone was smooth and nothing strange, but his eyes were carefully looking at Rhode, trying to see what was happening in that calm face.
But facing Serek's probe, Rhodes only shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.
"It's not right now, Mr. Serek."
Rhodes narrowed his eyes and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I don't think I have done anything that deserves so much attention."
After hearing Rhode's answer, Serek was silent for a moment, then the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, and he patted Rhodes' shoulder.
"I see. Do n’t worry. After all, this is not the kingdom of light. Those **** do n’t dare to do anything right. It ’s never bad to be careful. In addition, I hope that no matter what the problem is between you and the kingdom of light, do n’t It involves Malin. The child's identity is very sensitive. Although the problem between the principality and the kingdom of light is not a day or two, but if possible, don't make a big deal. "
Hearing Serek's words, Rhodes sighed secretly in his heart. The intricate relationship and grudges between the Principality of Moon and the Kingdom of Light have lasted for many years. Although they are in the same alliance camp, the contradiction between the two parties is Is quite deep. The reason is that it goes back a long time.
Although the country of light is nominally a country, it is more like an alliance country. When this country was originally created, the first dragon of light formed the council, which was participated by the lords of thirteen territories, and finally formed a unified Concentrated power. Opposing the totalitarian rule of the Dragon of the Night, the Dragon of Light chose a different path. It delegates all powers to parliament, and any matters concerning the state are decided by a collective vote of the parliament.
But only the Principality of Munn was an exception.
From the perspective of the system, the Principality of Muen and the Kingdom of Light are far apart, and it can be said that there are more countries that are closer to their deadly enemy, the Night Country. In addition, the geographical advantage of the Principality of Munn is quite obvious. As the gateway area of the country of light, the extensive network and rivers and lakes ensure its prosperity. Not to mention that after discovering a large number of magic crystal minerals, the wealth of the Principality of Munn is even more jealous.
The Kingdom of Light has always been jealous of having so many advantages of the Principality of Munn, and they have tried every means to try to make the relationship between the Principality of Moon and the Kingdom of Light "closer". On the other hand, they were rather disdainful of the achievements of the Principality of Munn, thinking that the evil tyranny they learned from the country of night will eventually drag the entire country into the abyss. So in words, the kingdom of light always looked down on the Principality of Muen, and from time to time pulled them out for criticism. In their mouth, the Principality of Muen became the capital of criminals, and their wealth was through evil. In exchange for plunder. The kingdom of light flaunted itself as a good savior, trying to save this "evil neighbor" from the "mine of evil" and live the same life as them. However, the Principality of Muen refused to accept this kind of goodwill of the Kingdom of Light, which made them very helpless.
For the Principality of Munn, this is naturally lying down and hitting the gun. They asked themselves that they did not steal, are not strong, and did not cleverly win. They have no reason to be so despised by the people of the Light Country. Are we living well and wrong? Such a reason?
Because of this, the people of the Principality of Muen have no good opinion of the kingdom of light. The kingdom of light has always relied on its own dragon spirit to protect the earth, and to treat itself as a savior, it also made them complain.
In addition, the Kingdom of Light has never been less private in the Principality of Muen. They always want to pull the current "disobedient" leader off the horse, and then bring the entire land into the territory of the Kingdom of Light and let them People enjoy the true "glow of freedom."
It is precisely because of this relationship that there has always been a lot of friction between the two countries. Most of these things are settled in private, so in the view of Serek, this is not a big problem.
But only Rhodes knew that this time, the kingdom of light was playing with fire.
Elegant music sounded.
After thanking Serek, Rhode walked to the window, holding a wine glass in his hand, and stared at the night scene out of the window.
At that moment, he really thought about confessing it all, the plot of the kingdom of light, what is happening now, and what is likely to happen in the future. But in the end, he said nothing to Serek. After all, this is a big deal, and evidence is needed without a word of mouth. And Rhodes himself certainly couldn't produce any evidence. Speaking of these now will only cause new troubles for myself.
"Mr. Rhodes?"
And just then, Li Jie's voice suddenly sounded, she came to Rhode's side, looked at him with some worry.
"What happened? Your face is not very good."
"It did happen."
Rhodes drank the fine wine in a glass, but the sweet and honest taste did not dissolve his helplessness.
"Remember those guys we met in the forest at dusk? Listening to Serek, these guys seem to follow in a haunting manner."
"Hey?!"
When she heard this, Li Jie's complexion immediately turned pale. She clenched her hands uneasily, obviously very surprised.
"What are those guys? Why are they here?"
"According to Serek's account just now, in all likelihood, he is an agent of the Kingdom of Light."
Rhode snorted, holding the cup tightly in his right hand.
If you want to talk about what Rhodes hates most in this world, then the kingdom of light must be at the top of the list. Although the kingdom of night is the culprit of the war, the two sides are in a hostile position, they are not as good as people, and they are burned Occupy, ** looting can only consider himself unlucky. But it was a shame to be sold by someone who was not as good as himself.
Now Rhodes has no strength against the Kingdom of Light, but since the other party is willing to send some appetizers to warm up Rhodes, Rhodes doesn't mind swallowing even bones.
Just then, the sound of music stopped suddenly.
Rhodes and Li Jie turned and looked in doubt, but found that the others who were enjoying in the hall were also looking at the door with surprise and doubt.
It is correct to look at a young man standing at the door.
He was wearing a white gown, holding a dark cane in his hand, and a handsome smile on his handsome face. Behind him, two servants of the Keller family were standing there with ashes on their faces, looking rather embarrassed.
"Mr. Billy."
Just when the atmosphere was getting weird, Keller stepped out of the crowd and saw the man in front of him. He gave a slight stun and then hurriedly greeted him.
"I didn't expect that you would come, and you would miss it, and please forgive me."
"Don't apologize to me, Mr. Klett."
The young man named Billy raised his hand with a smile. Although his voice was not loud, it spread throughout the hall.
"I was just on the whim, so I suddenly wanted to check it out, and I hope you don't blame me for asking you not to come."
"Where is this?"
The smile on Keller's face is undiminished. For a family patriarch who started a business, it is a natural skill to not smile.
"I was worried that Mr. Billy would think that such a dinner was too shabby and refused to visit. This is a misconception."
"Who is this guy?"
Looking at the young man, Rhodes frowned. Doesn't he remember there is such a character in Deep Rock?
"That is the special envoy of the kingdom of light."
He heard Rhodes talking to himself, and an aristocrat standing not far from him answered, listening to his tone, it was obvious that he was very cold with this so-called "special envoy".
"A week ago, he came to Shenshicheng and didn't know what he was going to do. Hmm ... the guys in the kingdom of light wouldn't do anything good to come."
Special Envoy of the Kingdom of Light?
Rhode and Li Jie looked at each other, and the latter shook his head. Obviously, he had never heard of such a figure.
"Don't worry, Mr. Keller, in fact, I'm here for one person."
The young man said here, smiled, then turned around, walked into the crowd, and then held a person's hand.
"Beautiful lady, we finally meet again."
"puff!"
Rhodes did not finish his drink, and all spit out, and Li Jie, who was standing next to him, was covering her mouth with both hands at the moment, staring at Marin standing in front of the man in surprise.
The girl's face was already iron-blue.
