Early the next morning, Rhodes took a carriage to the silver mine run by the Edward Chamber of Commerce. Of course, Rhodes had already received word from Emily, where her father, the president of the Edward Chamber of Commerce, would receive her personally and discuss the sale with her. Rhodes was not surprised by this, although his disguised identity was very outstanding, and the status of the country of light was also a good cover, but business entry Bi Jing is business entry, no matter how worldly it is, making money is always the first priority. If Rhodes couldn't show enough sincerity and attitude after the subsequent negotiations, then the Edward Chamber of Commerce would not have been deceived by him like this.

"That's the mine in the hands of our Edward Chamber of Commerce, Miss Syren."

Sitting in the carriage, Emily happily stretched out her hand, pointed to the mine on the hillside not far away, and turned to Rhodes and said. Rhodes nodded at Emily's words, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Emily's finger. As I remember, nothing has changed.

"It's a shame that Miss Celestina couldn't go with her because she wasn't feeling well........."

Emily's words pulled Rhodes back from his memory, and he smiled, but didn't say much. On the contrary, Celia next to her tilted her head with some curiosity and stared at her master. For this war envoy, she obviously didn't believe Celestina's excuse for not adapting to the soil, Bi Jing, what her sister wanted before, Celia knew very well.

But because of this, Celia is also quite curious about what happened to the competition last night.

As Celia thought, although Celestina's sister was very powerful, Rhodes was not an easy master to deal with, he was smart, decisive, cunning, and sometimes very dangerous. What's worse is that he never cares about self-esteem and face. As a card of the holy sword jīng spirit, even when she doesn't keep her form, Celia also has her own consciousness, but when she transforms into a weapon form, she is more like a spectator than a participant.

Because of this, Celia has seen Rod's fighting style more than once, and to be honest, Celia is not very receptive to Rod's approach, especially since many times he behaves quite despicably and has no remorse afterwards. And what made Celia frown even more was that Rhodes was not like many of the categories she had met before, even if she had to find a reason for doing bad things, but a picture of "I just like to do this", this kind of slightly crazy and chaotic madness is indeed a little difficult to accept for an orderly and kind war envoy. But in the end, Celia endured this for Rod, knowing her mission and the situation in front of her. In her opinion, in any case, at least Rhodes is slowly moving forward with the development of the situation. And even Celia has to admit that there are many things that are not perfect endings that can be followed by chanting the slogan of justice.

Because of this, Celia is actually not optimistic that Selestina can embarrass Rod, but she also doesn't think that Rod will do anything to Celestina. Bi Jing is to summon jīng spirits, although it is said that the relationship between jīng spirits and summoners is master and slave, but as summoned objects, summoning jīng spirits is not only to respect the master. The Lord must also give a certain amount of respect to the summoned jīng spirit. And through Celia's observation, Rhodes also cherishes his summoning jīng spirit very much. So Celia also thought that even if Celestina suffered any losses, she would just jump to her feet and shout a few words in anger, and then she would be fine as usual.

But this time the situation is markedly different.

Selestina locked herself in her room and closed the door, claiming that she was not in good health and needed to rest because she was not adapting to the water and soil, and this reason deceived Emily into entering the room, but for an existence like Celia who also summoned jīng spirits, then it was just an excuse at all. Although Celia didn't ask her sister what happened to her sister through the soul connection, Selestina insisted that she was unaccustomed and unwell and wanted to rest, and Celia could only reluctantly accept this statement.

But even if Celia doesn't know what happened to the competition last night, at least one thing is certain——— that is, the main entry has hurt Celestina's sister badly enough, she and Celestina have been together for so many years, and it is the first time to see her so embarrassed. In some ways, Celestina and Rhodes are the kind of people who do what they want and don't make any excuses when they do. Whether the outcome is good or bad, they will step up and take it upon themselves. So if it was just an ordinary conflict, it would be impossible for Sister Celestina to lock herself up like a shrinking turtle like this, which can only show that she is afraid of Rod............... But............ What happened to Sister Celestina?

This question had not disappeared in Celia's mind, and the relatively innocent warlord had racked his brains and was unable to figure out what means Rod had used to make Sister Selestina so obedient. Could it be that the two of them fought together? And then the main one defeated Sister Celestina? It's unlikely......... Although Sister Selestina's strength has been greatly reduced now because of the seal, if the two of them fight, it will definitely not end easily. At least I can't feel the slightest movement.

In a sense, Celia's guess is not wrong, last night Rhodes and Selestina did have a "big battle", and under Rod's "fierce impact", Selestina lost her armor and finally surrendered completely......... And just as Celia was confused, the carriage had already entered the mine.

Unlike the hot mines in Deep Rock, the mines of the Edward Chamber of Commerce in front of him looked a little deserted at first glance, and the atmosphere was relatively serious. However, Rhodes knew very well what the reason was, and when he got out of the carriage, he saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers standing on the periphery of the mine, armed with crossbows and long swords, with their backs to them solemnly, looking around the mine. It seems that they are not trying to prevent the miners from escaping from here, but to prevent the enemy from coming from outside.

"You must be surprised, Miss Syren."

Sensing Rod's gaze, Emily smiled helplessly.

"These are the privates of our Edwards, and they are here to guard against some other people who come to the mines to cause trouble......... Bi Jing............... This is the deep mountains, and there are ......... occasionally" Emily paused, but finally didn't say anything more, but even if she didn't say anything, Rod understood why these private soldiers were competing for something.

It's clear that they're here to guard against members of the Howard family. As can be seen from the fact that both sides have already met each other, it is clear that the rivalry between the two families has also shifted from the secret to the open, but this is good news for Rod. Originally, he was still thinking about how to incite the Edward Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems that the atmosphere here does not need to say anything more because of the announcement of the reformers, and it has become extremely tense. It's like a cloud of air filled with concentrated gunpowder, and if you just light a spark yourself, the whole air will explode at once.

Led by Emily, Rhodes soon met with the president of the Edward Chamber of Commerce, Philip Lee. Edward. The slender man with two beautiful mustaches was dressed in a bright red tights and a hat with peacock feathers, which looked a bit exaggerated on the surface. After seeing Rhodes and Celia behind Emily, the elder was visibly stunned for a moment, obviously, he did not expect that the person who came to talk to him about business would be such a beautiful woman, although Philip had not heard of Rod and his two maids from his subordinates, but Philip was initially a little scoffed at this. This is also the idea of most normal men, in their opinion, beautiful women are actually similar to vases, they look eye-catching, but in fact they are useless. Not to mention, the essence of business is to blow ordinary things into a mess. So at first, Philip didn't take what his subordinates said seriously, but now, after seeing Rod, the eyes of this well-informed businessman shrank in an instant——— he couldn't believe it, and even felt that at this moment, the entire world became black and white, except for the one in front of him.

"Hello, Miss Syren."

However, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, of course, Philip could not keep his saliva like those country wild men, on the contrary, he quickly regained his thoughts, and then walked up with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand. And Rod also smiled at the right time and shook the other party's outstretched hand.

"Hello, President Edward. I'm Miranda. Sailen ......... I think you already know the purpose of my visit to Fiat. As a reputable and reputable chamber of commerce in the Fiat region, I don't think we will be disappointed. ”

"Of course, Miss Syren."

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Philip nodded hurriedly. If he still had a little doubt about Rod's identity, then those words just now were enough for Philip to dispel his worst doubts. Although Rod's response was very ordinary, Philip still felt an aura from the "female entry" in front of him, which was not the arrogance of the young woman's aggressiveness, nor the empty and powerless temptation of those vase women, but a sense of oppression like a steady mountain, like a mountain erected in front of you, although it did not use intimidation to show its strong strength, but the brigade had to be forced to bow their heads and bypass it from afar.

It is precisely this that dispelled the doubts in Philip's heart, if knowledge, appearance and conversation can be disguised, then the temperament of the unborn cannot be disguised. Especially in such an era, what kind of temperament will be in what environment, Philip is very confident in his vision and intuition. In his opinion, the somewhat arrogant and resolute attitude shown by Rhodes is more in line with her identity, the Land of Light is much stronger than the Duchy of Moon, where the entrance to Moon is originally a little contemptuous. Not to mention that they are the weak side at the moment, although it was this "Miss Sailen" who took the initiative to ask for a trade, but Philip also understands that in fact, it is he who really wants to seize this opportunity this time. And the other party is obviously very aware of this, so he put on such a posture.

After reassuring, Philip quickly had a conversation with Rod, and the result of the exchange was very satisfying to both parties. Rhodes hinted to Philip that the reason why he would come here on behalf of the Celen Chamber of Commerce was not only the business itself, but also a disguised support from the Land of Light for the Southern reformers. And this is naturally great news for the Edward Chamber of Commerce, which is in the camp of reformers. Therefore, after hearing Rod's hints, Philip quickly changed his attitude. He knew very well that his chamber of commerce also belonged to the kind of small forces that were not paid attention to by the periphery among the reformers. That's why in Fiat, there is obviously that damn Howard family stealing their own business, but the Edward Chamber of Commerce can't completely eradicate their white spoon reason. If they had been able to gain the support of the reformers, the entire Fiat region would have been in the possession of the Edward Chamber of Commerce by now!

With this in mind, Philip was naturally extremely enthusiastic, and of course he knew that if he could use the line of the Celen Chamber of Commerce to hook up with the consortium of the Land of Light, then his status in the reformers would naturally rise. Of course, Rhodes also knew what the other party was doing, so he naturally did what he liked, and for a while the guests and hosts were happy. Of course, Rhodes didn't come here to make peace with him, so it didn't take long for him to quietly put forward his request to enter the mine and investigate the situation on the spot.

As for Rod's request, Philip was a rare face.

"Of course that's fine, Miss Sylen, but the mines are dangerous and dusty, you ..............."

"I'm also a merchant, President Philip, isn't it a matter of course that as a merchant, I want to investigate my own products?"

"This............ Miss Syren was right. ”

Hearing Rod say this, Philip had no choice but to nod helplessly. This action made Rod a little suspicious, he frowned slightly, glanced at Philip, and then looked at Emily next to him, and then suddenly asked.

"President Philip, is there something wrong?"

"Huh? Miss Syren? ”

Hearing Rod suddenly ask like this, Philip couldn't help but be a little panicked, although the panic was only for a moment, and soon Philip calmed down again, but in Rode's opinion, it was obvious that things were not so simple.

"Well, Miss Ceren, you're laughing, there's something wrong with that. It's just that you're such a pretty young lady, if you go into the mine, you're afraid you'll get dust all over your body. And those miners, as you know, are all country men who don't know any etiquette, and they may offend you, this ..............."

"Is there really no problem at all?"

Rod withdrew his gaze and looked at Philip quietly. And the president of the Chamber of Commerce couldn't help but shrink his body under Rod's sharp gaze——— I don't know what the road is about, at this moment, Philip felt that the woman in front of him was as sharp as a knife, as if she had directly stabbed into the depths of her heart. This made Qian, who was very embarrassed, laugh twice, and then reached out and took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and then spoke.

"This............ To tell you the truth, I heard the foreman say just now that there was some noise in the depths of the two mines, and although it did not disturb the normal progress of the operation, everyone was quite worried. So.................. Miss Syren, I think it's better for you not to go down for the sake of safety. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod was really a little surprised. He knew very well that there were no monsters in this mine. It was only after the earth elemental creature was unsealed that the mine was filled with all kinds of earth elemental monsters. But now, the seal hasn't been lifted, so it stands to reason that there should be nothing in it, right?

Does it say............ Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Rod's mind, and an idea appeared in his mind, and then, without the slightest hesitation, he raised his head and looked at Philip.

"Since there is no disturbance to the normal operation of the work, there should be no danger, Mr. Philip. If I could, I still hope to be able to go into the mine to have a look and understand the actual situation, otherwise it will ..............." Saying this, Rod paused deliberately, and then he looked at the sweaty chamber chief in front of him, showing a gentle smile.

"Otherwise, I'm worried about whether your chamber of commerce's mining progress can catch up with our white spoon requirements."

“………………… Well......"

Speaking of which, even if Philip had the heart to stop it, he could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. Bi Jing also knew very well that the other party had discovered that something was wrong in the mine, and if he tried his best to stop it here, then in the end, it was their chamber of commerce itself that was unlucky. Not to mention......... That's just a rumor, so there's probably nothing wrong with that.

Thinking of this, Philip couldn't help but sigh.
