Summoning the Holy Sword

For the nobles in the hall, the scene in front of them is hard to imagine. They stared at Rhodes, Marlene, and Li Jie with stuns, but couldn't say a word. In this noble occasion, every action of the nobles, even if it is a look and a movement, has its special meaning. Especially in such solemn and serious occasions, the unmarried female surname holding an alien arm can only represent one meaning-that is, confirming her extraordinary relationship with the other party. Now, relying on the two girls beside Rhodes, identity is not simple.

Although Li Jie announced that she had left the royal family, she still enjoyed a certain reputation in the aristocracy circle, and Li Jie was considered pure and lovely, and there were some young suitors in the past. Although Li Jie left the royal and noble circles, people paid less attention to her. But since Li Jie made a high-profile appearance at the Midsummer Festival, she returned to the sight of the nobles. Although it is said that an ordinary spiritual master has nothing to be concerned about, a spiritual master who has outstanding strength and is related to Lydia and has received the attention of the church is quite different. Fortunately, Li Jie ran all the way with Rhodes, and the Starlight Guild was far away from the Atonement. However, Li Jie was relieved of the pain of being entangled by those powerful children.

Not to mention Marin, she originally had a high reputation in the aristocracy. After the baptism of this civil war, her strength was officially recognized. It can be said to be a dazzling star in Muen Gong. Not to mention Li Jie, although it is said that the girl has been separated from the royal family, it is impossible for her to be relieved that she is Li Tia ’s sister. To some extent, Ma Lin and Li Jie are separated. Representing the power of the royal family and aristocracy, but now they both appeared beside the man at the same time, and even made such an intimate move.

This shocked many people, and they knew exactly what it meant. Marlene is not a simple and naive girl. She is born intelligent and calm, and is not the kind of fantasy girl who can imagine love and can spare no effort for love. Now she will actually make it on such a formal and solemn occasion. This behavior—is this the will of the entire Xenia family?

Thinking of this, the aristocracy in the hall is naturally full of doubts. Those older family leaders have begun to extend their thoughts to Rhodes, and they can get the green family of the Xenia family. The power behind this young man must be very simple. You must know that the Xenia family is one of the oldest families in the Principality of Munn, and it can even be said that since the existence of the Principality of Munn, the Xenian family has been around. Because of this, it is not easy to marry such a large, ancient and domineering family. It does not mean that as long as an outstanding young talent can enter the law of the Xenia family, there are many times when the family ’s Strength, identity, status, and even political ideas are also important components that shape the foundation of the Xenia family's marriage. This is the sorrow of many big families, just like Romeo and Juliet. Of course, the others are standing and speaking without back pain. They feel that they have achieved a life-and-death relationship that surpasses the family's grudges. As the saying goes, money is precious and love is more expensive. Gao --- But it is not the case for those aristocrats, especially those who have inheritance rights. Their love is not only their own thing, but the whole family. Especially for old nobles like Xenia, Marin is the sole heir. Imagine that if Marin fell in love with a nobleman in the Southern Reform camp, or an ordinary young talent, then the Xenia family would agree ?

This is of course impossible.

Because she is going to inherit the Xenia family, her every move affects the future destiny and life of the entire Xenia family, and she has always been very aware of this, so she has always been very clean. In private, many old nobles secretly admired the Xenia family for being so blessed and possessing such an outstanding heir. Not only does she have high talents and political talents, but more importantly, she can control her mentality. There is no shortage of elite talents in the aristocratic gatekeepers, because they receive better education than the civilians, and they can also access many things that the civilians simply cannot reach, so the emergence of talents is normal. However, the smooth environment and the pride of young people are a headache. They always feel that they have the talent and strength to change their destiny and "break free" the fetters set by their fate, so among the nobles, There is no shortage of young people with high strength, but at the same time proud and complacent, full of rebellion and resistance to the family system. Although as they grow older, they will gradually gain discipline and learn to smooth their edges and corners, but before that, those annoying torments have caused headaches for many clan leaders. Many of them have thought about it in private. What a wonderful thing to have a proud, confident, self-disciplined, and capable family heir like Malin—look at the bunch of rabbits, except Three days and two ends together to drink and have fun and do something else!

For those young aristocrats, they don't care about the political significance of this matter, but more of envy, envy and hatred for Rhodes.

After all, from a long time ago, Marin has become the target of those young talents. Some people value her beauty, and some people value her strength and the Shania family behind her. But these are not surprising. Marriages between nobles are like this, talking about love is just shit. Behind the marriage of aristocracy is completely naked political transactions, so as the heir of a family, it is necessary to have a good psychological preparation for the other person, not just fancy yourself. This is the same for both men and women. Noble, noble, respected, and superior, but also want to pursue a beautiful and pure love? Can't all the good things in this world be taken up by you?

Ever since Marin was fourteen, countless young people have pursued her, but Marlen has rejected them all, and those people did not dare to attack even if they were touched by a gray nose. After all, there was a behemoth of the Shania family. Behind Marlene, they had to weigh a few pounds of weight even if they wanted to do something. Not to mention that Malin has always been strict with herself. She never attends messy dinner parties among the nobles. In addition to occasional family invitations on behalf of the family, Marin rarely attends private parties. She also valued the relationship around her. Except for those friends with the same last name who are particularly close and good, Marin hardly communicated with other people-but often walked by the river, how could she not wet her shoes, in the end Marin was almost The child was planted at the Midsummer Festival.

If Marin chose a young, outstanding and well-established person, others could only recognize it by pinching her nose. But when they saw that Marin actually chose Rhodes, many people's faces suddenly became bad. From their point of view, although Rhodes can be regarded as an excellent performer, he is not the type that performs particularly well and can convince them to take oral administration-this is no wonder, after all, Rhodes mostly does things secretly, not Like to show off everywhere. Therefore, many aristocrats' impression of this sudden rise of the young aristocracy has at most stayed in his own strong sword skills, and came from the Eastern Yamahara, in the offensive and defensive battle of Pafield, blocked the two attacks of the Southern Army, captive A commander of the enemy-these don't look very brilliant, but why is he?

Many people are puzzled by this and are very upset.

Antonio is one of them.

At this moment he clenched his teeth, looking at Rhodes with a complexion, his fists clenched, his arms trembling slightly. If he was closer, he could even hear the "giggle" sound of his clenched teeth.

As a young man, Antonio Williams was also a well-known figure in the Principality of Muen. When he was a child, he was once known for his unique talents in military and swordplay. A genius member of the Williams family. Because of this, Antonio has long since yearned for Marin, who has also been dubbed "the magic genius rare in the Principality of Munn for a hundred years." He is also a proud man. Apart from Marin, Antonio is not Think that other women are qualified to compare with themselves. Although he hasn't seen those men who tried to win Marilyn's young man being turned away by her, but this made Antonio have a deeper affection for Marilyn. He wasn't like the stupid men who couldn't wait to wag their tails at Malin like a dog in estrus. He was sober, knowing that it was impossible for such people to win the favor of Marin and Shania. As long as you strive to grow and obtain higher achievements, status and honor, by then, you have enough capital to pursue Marin. For Antonio, the beautiful, proud and confident girl is his goddess and the only existence he needs to pursue in his life.

Antonio's abacus was good and his luck was good. During the Civil War, the magical legion of the Xenia family led by Marin happened to come to the original fortress of flowers under his jurisdiction. This is a very good opportunity for Antonio, so in the battle of the flowers, Antonio once sent his troops more than once, and even led his own soldiers to help Marin's demon legion against the rebellion of the Southern Army. The party, it can be said that at least one-third of Marin's martial arts belonged to Antonio.

I do n’t know if it is because of this. At least Marin has always been kind to Antonio, and she is very polite. Occasionally, the two sides will have a cup of tea together after the war, although it is said that it is an lonely boy and widow in the same room as Antonio imagined However, Marin was able to accept his invitation, and in Antonio's view, it was already a good thing. And he also intends to take advantage of the chase and take advantage of this opportunity to draw closer to his relationship with Marlene --- precisely because of this, Antonio chose to come forward before the banquet and invite Marlen to be his dance partner in the banquet.

But he didn't expect that Marin made a decision that made him completely unbelievable. Until now, Antonio couldn't believe what he saw before him, and he couldn't accept this reality anyway.

why? Why is he?

Antonio despise Rhodes. Although he showed his strength at the Midsummer Festival, in Antonio's view, the Midsummer Festival is just a game, that is, those mercenaries will pay attention to those so-called honors, and they really have strength and Status people don't care about these things. And in this aristocratic circle, if you want to be respected, you can't rely on swordsmanship that you can still use to succeed. People, strength, and prestige are indispensable. But what is Rhodes?

He has no strength in the military and only has one of the lowest ranks among the nobles. As for rumors that his men have several legendary subordinates, Antonio feels that it is simply bragging. He has been in the noble circle for so many years, it is not clear The noble names of those nobles?

But Antonio did not expect that Marin would choose such a person.

This made him feel deeply betrayed and hurt!

In particular, before Marin kissed Rod in the public, it was tearing Antonio's heart like a sharp knife. He believed that the relationship between the two was definitely not that simple, especially from their actions. Maybe the two have already had a closer relationship.

The more he thought about it, the more Antonio felt that a strong flame was burning in his heart, especially when he thought that the goddess he had always admired and longed for was likely to lie beside the man naked, He felt that his reason would be completely melted by anger. What made Antonio even more angry was that when talking to Marin, Rhodes once looked up and glanced at himself, but he actually only glanced at himself, and then looked back! !! Although Rhodes didn't say much, Antonio had felt his contempt.

That bastard, he looked down on me! !!

How dare he look down on me! ? In terms of identity, I am the earl, and he is just a low-level jazz! Regarding status, I am the commander-in-chief of the Duchy of Muen in the original fortress of flowers, and what about him? He is just the president of a small mercenary guild. What kind of qualifications does he have to look down on me? !! !! Why didn't he take me in his eyes? !! !! What kind of thing is he? !!

Antonio felt that his blood had begun to boil. He gritted his teeth and inhaled whispering, his throat roaring like an injured beast. This young man who was about to be stunned by anger didn't even bother to worry about his surroundings. Under the circumstances, he almost completely forgot where he was and what he should do ... Rhode didn't care about what a strange man thought of himself, or, as long as it was a man's opinion of himself, Rhode Don't care. After glancing at Antonio, he quickly glanced back. Although Rhode also saw the other person's complexion and jealous eyes, Rhode didn't care at all. The dog barking of the defeated dog has no meaning to him at all. He is the winner, so why bother with a loser?

Rhode is more concerned about another thing around him than he is dealing with those envious and envious losers. Now Malin is holding his right arm, and Li Jie is holding his left arm. Annie didn't care about her in the back and forth, but this did not mean that she was calm in front of her eyes-when Li Jie came over and held Rod's arm, Marin naturally realized this. But the girl just looked at Li Jie curiously and meaningfully, and then said nothing, but Rhodes could feel that Marlene held her arm tightly, almost clinging to her. Round and plump chest. And before Rod had any response, Li Jie quickly responded. She was not as skilled as Marlene, but she clumsily extended her hands and grabbed Rhode's arm towards her. Well, fortunately, the distance between the three people is close enough, otherwise, maybe it will evolve into a unique tug of war under the public.

For Rhodes, this is a happy pain, but fortunately, this road is only a few minutes away from the hall to the banquet hall. After the banquet hall, Marlene and Li Jie loosened their arms inadvertently. In any case, this is just a way of expressing attitudes to the outside, not a place where the two people communicate intimately.

At this moment, many nobles have come one after another in the banquet hall. After Rhodes and Li Jie and Marlene entered the venue, they naturally received considerable attention. But compared with the previous, Rhodes can feel that looking at himself this time has become much more complicated, and there is no lack of hostile eyes in it. Of course, most of these are young people.

After entering the banquet hall, Li Jie kept her head down and looked reddish. It seemed that she was a little uneasy and shy about her bold approach before, but soon she found a way to divert her attention ......... only Seeing Li Jie walk to Anne's side, she began to whisper soothingly, and asked Annie to stand here obediently. Now that the banquet has not yet begun, don't try to start directly at the delicious and delicious dishes on the table ... Lijie and Annie, Rhodes shrugged and shook his head. Later, Rhode turned his head, and soon saw Malin's smiling face.

"You look the same as before, Rhodes."

"You've changed a lot, Malin."

Looking at the calm smile of the girl in front of her, Rhodes is also full of mixed feelings. Although Marlene was also very stable in front of herself, she still occasionally showed her inexperience as a rookie, but now Marlene has become more and more calm. And sophisticated, the battle brought to her by this period of time seems to have let this beautiful diamond emit her original dazzling brilliance.

"Can I understand this as a compliment to me? Rhodes?"

"of course."

Rhode nodded slightly, and when he heard his answer, Marin blinked her eyes playfully, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a sly smile.

"So, Rhode, wait a minute ..."

Marlene's words did not finish, because at this time, a low, loud horn sound came, and when she heard this horn sound, Marlene stopped her talking. She blinked at Rhodes first, then turned her head. Go and look forward.

Just then, the door opened.
