Emily is not as sensitive as Rhodes, although there is some dirt between the Howard family and the Edward family, but this does not mean that the two of them are really generations of enemies, and they have to let them die when they see each other. In any case, the two families are just a weak force vying for control in the small region of Fiat. Compared with the competition between those large families, chambers of commerce, and even powerful forces outside, the confrontation and conspiracy between them can even be said to be a bit "rustic".

This can also be seen from Emily's surprise when she learns that she is a member of the Howard family on the other side, and the competition and hostility between the two sides are not to the point of life and death. If it were those big families outside, I am afraid that they would rather die in the mouth of monsters than accept this kind of shame, and even more dangerously, they may deliberately lure those monsters to attack each other, so as to create opportunities for themselves.

Seeing Emily's expression, the man she called "Uncle Carter" was slightly stiff on his face, he first glanced at Rod curiously, then nodded helplessly, and waved his hand at the same time, signaling his subordinates to retreat.

"Monster, Emily? You're saying there's a monster in Edward's mines? ”

"Yes, Uncle Carter, they're terrible......... And it's so vicious, I've killed a lot of people, and it's ........."

At this point, Emily paused and did not continue. Although Emily has always looked forward to life outside, and she seems to be simple and cheerful, but she is born in the Chamber of Commerce anyway, and she is not a fool, and Emily will naturally not do stupid things in the face of competitors telling the news of her father's death. And she also noticed that there was something wrong with Uncle Carter's current outfit, why couldn't she see half of the Howard family miners here, but a group of heavily armed mercenaries? She hadn't heard of the Howard family's habit of sending mercenaries to mine mines.

Thinking of this, Emily was a little uneasy, but after feeling the "Miss Syren" beside her, she quickly put her mind at ease.

“……… Miss Syren and I had to flee to the depths of this cave in order to escape the pursuit of those monsters, and then we heard someone talking inside, so we came to find it, and we didn't expect to enter Uncle Carter's White Spoon territory......... Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is Miranda from the Celen Chamber of Commerce in the Land of Light. Miss Syren. She had come to discuss the ore buying and selling business with us at the Edward Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Land of Light?!"

Hearing this name, the faces of Carter and the mercenaries beside him changed, and Rhodes stepped forward generously, gently lifted the hem of his skirt, and bowed to the crowd in front of him, while revealing his gentle and elegant smile. Seeing the smile of this beautiful "young lady", everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and even a few young mercenaries even had a slight flush on their faces. They looked at each other, and some didn't know what to say about this sudden incident. Not only these mercenaries, but even Carter himself felt a little troubled by this sudden appearance of the woman, regardless of her beauty, just by virtue of the fact that the other party was born in the country of light, it made them feel taboo. As the royal party in the south, they certainly knew how influential Lu Dao was in the southern country of light, if something happened to this young lady in their hands......... However, why did the membership of the Kingdom of Light Chamber of Commerce come here at this juncture?

Thinking of this, Carter coughed, then stepped forward and smiled at Emily.

“……… Belch......... Emily, in fact, we also learned that there has been some unrest in the mines recently, so out of prudence, we have hired some mercenaries to come here to help. But I didn't expect you to be attacked by those monsters, but it seems like you're all right, which is great......... Well, it's still a long way from the ground, Miss Emily, you're not very familiar with the terrain of our Howard Mine, so I guess you guys can rest for a while and then send them in and take the two of you out of here? ”

"Of course there is no problem, Uncle Carter."

Emily nodded happily at Carter's answer, but soon she blinked curiously.

"But, Uncle Carter, are you going to stay here? Those monsters are very powerful, in case they ............."

Before Emily could finish her sentence, one of the mercenaries quickly interrupted her by laughing.

"Hey, what are you talking about, this young lady of yours, we are different from you, our mercenaries are born with a thousand of this, those monsters are terrible in your eyes, but in the eyes of our white spoons, they ............" Saying this, he even raised his hand and made a fist swing in cooperation. ……… What a monster, it's not in the eyes of our white spoon at all! ”

Hearing the other party say this, Emily also frowned, she didn't know how powerful this group of mercenaries was, but after seeing the skills of "Miss Selen" with her own eyes, she didn't believe that these mercenaries could do better than the young lady next to her. But Emily didn't say much, she just rolled her eyes, then closed her mouth and said no more.

Seeing that the atmosphere in front of him was a little embarrassing, Carter naturally stood up again.

"Emily, I think you're tired, but......... You see, we're here to find those monsters, too. If those monsters are really that powerful, it's a problem for us. I know it's not a good proposition, but ......... Can you tell us more about what you see? What the hell are those monsters? What does it look like? If you can, I hope we can talk about it in private..............."

Saying this, Carter glanced at the silent "Miss Selen" standing next to him, in his opinion, this young lady is indeed very beautiful, and she looks calm on the surface, but her identity is too tricky, perhaps............ I had to find a way to solve this problem.

“………… All right. ”

Emily hesitated when she heard Carter's words, she looked at "Miss Ceren" beside her, and when she noticed Emily's gaze, Rhodes smiled at her and nodded. Emily gave a nod of her head to Carter's proposal, and then she and Carter went to the other side of the crystal mine, and it wasn't long before the two disappeared into the passage around the corner.

It's funny.

Looking at the figure of the two leaving, Rod narrowed his eyes slightly, and Rod did not interject when Emily and Carter were talking, but had been quietly observing the surroundings. In fact, the place where Rhodes and Emily are right now is the place where the earth elemental jīng spirit sleeps. As a pure elemental jīng spirit creature, even if it is sealed, it will unconsciously reveal the power of the elements. And the current pieces of crystal deposits are the traces left by the earth element jīng spirit. And Rhodes can also be sure that these entries have not awakened the earth element jīng spirit, otherwise, it is impossible for such a huge and distinct existence to be invisible to him at all. But he also didn't believe Carter's claims, because since he came here, Rhodes had been very keenly aware of a faint, but regular, earth elemental power surging around. This shows that in what way these people have controlled the power of the earth elemental jīng spirit, and it is even possible to make great use of it, but how did these mercenaries do it?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning in his heart, it was not easy to use the power of the earth element, even if the other party had been sealed, this way was quite dangerous. Without the help of Jīng's alchemy and magic, Rhodes wouldn't have wanted to do such an experiment. Unless Larbis and Marlene were by his side, such a thing would have been quite difficult for Rod. But now, a small chamber of commerce family can actually do it, are they not lucky?

This is obviously impossible.

Not only that, but Rhodes also felt that right here, something was secretly watching his actions.

What is the other party's competition?

"That's the case....................."

After listening to Emily's story, Carter sighed helplessly, he thought for a moment, then smiled wryly and reached out and patted Emily on the shoulder.

"Emily, I know you'll be scared when you encounter this kind of thing, but don't worry, now that we're here, we won't let those monsters come to trouble you again. By the way, I think you must be very tired now, do you want to eat something and rest for a while? I'll send in and bring that Miss Syren over, don't worry. ”

"But ........."

Emily frowned in confusion when she heard Carter's answer, but after she saw the expression on Carter's face and the soldiers surrounding her, Emily quickly changed her tone.

"Well, Uncle Carter, I'll be here waiting for you to come back.................."

"Good boy, don't worry, nothing serious."

Carter smiled after receiving Emily's answer, and then he stood up and left Emily's mine into a dark, narrow passageway. It was only at this time that the man who had been with a kind smile on his face just now retracted the expression on his face, and said to the empty passage with a serious expression.

"Da Jin, now we have some trouble with the white spoon plan."

"I see it."

Just as Carter finished speaking, a dark shadow appeared in front of Carter, his voice low and steady.

"But isn't this our white-spoon plan? Mr. Carter, now that the Edward Chamber of Commerce's mines are finished, you have successfully mastered the resources here. Then, if you make good use of it, you will soon overwhelm the Edward Chamber of Commerce and become the number one force in Fiat, wasn't that what you expected when we worked together? ”

"But......... I didn't expect things to turn out like this, and there was still the entry of the Kingdom of Light......... This is a very tricky thing for us. ”

Hearing Carter's somewhat eager inquiry, the dark shadow was silent for a moment before he spoke.

"Leave her alone yet, if they don't know anything about this place, then let's not take it lightly and find an excuse to send them away."

“………… It's good, it's big. ”

Hearing the other party's answer, Carter sighed helplessly, then he nodded and turned to leave. The black shadow stood motionless until he watched Carter's back leave, and he snorted softly, but at the same time, a crisp, moving and beautiful voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.

"Are you really going to do that? My main entry? ”

"Of course, Sherry."

Hearing the crisp, beautiful voice asking, the shadow nodded slightly.

"It's a good opportunity, the Howard Chamber of Commerce has lost their minds, and they're desperate to get control here. And according to the method we provided, they can temporarily control the earth element jīng spirit here. However, this was only a temporary plan in the end, and to be honest, I was a little surprised that the eldest lady of the Edward Chamber of Commerce would be in the mines, but it was not without its benefits to our white spoon plan. But ....................."

At this point, the dark shadow seemed to hesitate.

"Why is there a chamber of commerce in China that will be sent here to trade with them? Don't they know what is going on? It's going to be a problem! ”

"Don't get excited, you also know that those greedy and ** businessmen are willing to do anything for the sake of profit, they obviously take a fancy to the current war between the south and the north, so they plan to take the opportunity to make a profit. It's nothing new, is it? ”

"I know that, Sherry, this is exactly what I want to change, they are on their way to destruction, but they don't know it. I need more strength, that's why I accepted this task and came here. ”

Unlike before, this time, the voice of the black shadow was so powerful and powerful that it was unquestionable.

"And this time, I'm not going to let that happen."

There it is.

Rhodes smiled as he stared at the huge bell pillar located in the underground Luyao Crystal Mine zhōngyāng. He had fully figured out the other party's layout and ideas, and then, it was time for him to act. Rod didn't know where and where the Howard Chamber of Commerce got this skill, but it at least showed that there were also people who took a fancy to this place and expected to get the resources here. But this is something that Rhodes can't tolerate, an uncontrolled earth element jīng spirit is something he likes, but an earth element jīng spirit that is tied to a collar is not so popular with Rhodes. Soon, Rhodes revised his goal again——— completely unsealed, awakened the earth elemental jīng spirit, and destroyed the mine.

As for the life or death of the Howard family, it is not in Rhodes' consideration. Since they are also supporters of the royal party, then sacrificing their own interests to fulfill the plan of the royal party can only let them suffer this little grievance.

Thinking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and then he slowly walked towards the huge bell stone pillar.

At first, Rod's actions did not attract the attention of those mercenaries, on the contrary, they looked at the entrance where Rhodes and Emily appeared, wondering if they were trying to prevent possible monsters, or if they had other plans. And it wasn't until Rhodes came to a place not far from the Zhong Rǔ Stone Pillar that these mercenaries noticed Rhodes' movements.

"What are you doing!!"

Soon, a heavily armed mercenary rushed over and blocked Rod's way, his eyes as big as copper bells, looking at Rod menacingly. In the face of his intimidation and obstruction, Rhodes remained silent at all, only raised his eyebrows.

"Nothing, I just want to look around, that pillar looks interesting, doesn't it?"

"This is the Howard family's mine, this young lady."

At this moment, the man who seemed to be the leader of the group of mercenaries also strode over, he stared at Rod with a serious face, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold down the hilt of the sword, and turned sideways to block Rode's way. "I also hope you don't wander around, you must know that it is very dangerous here, I hope you can stay here obediently."

"What if I say no?"

Hearing the threat of these mercenaries, Rhodes snorted coldly, and then he raised his chin arrogantly, and looked at the two mercenaries in front of him with disdain and indifference, as if they were nothing more than insignificant maggots and garbage——— and this is also the consistent attitude of the Kingdom of Light towards the Duchy of Moon, in his opinion, these slaves who succumb to the ** ruler are not worthy of being compared with themselves.

"It's up to you!"

Sure enough, Rod's attitude immediately angered the mercenary before, and he gritted his teeth, a trace of anger appeared on his face. Then, he directly stretched out his hand, trying to grab the "beautiful young lady" in front of him, and then imprisoned her with his iron gate-like hands, hum, at that time, look at this weak chick dare to show such an expression!

But the mercenary's hand did not grasp the other party's slender and fragile arm as he expected, on the contrary, he only felt a breeze flashing, and then he pounced on the whole way, and the "beautiful young lady" had already dodged out of the gap between the two and came behind their white spoon!

How is this done?

This scene not only surprised the mercenary, but even the other mercenaries were dumbfounded, but fortunately they did not lose their minds because of this, and soon, the other mercenaries ran up one after another, once again surrounded Rhodes, blocking his way.

"There's nothing to see there, this young lady, I advise you to be quiet, Carter will actually send you away in a while, understand?"

"Oh?"

In the face of the angry shouts of these mercenaries, Rod's expression was still so easy. He rolled his eyes, and then a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be so nervous, it seems that you are really afraid of being entered into the Zhidao Dao, you have unlocked the seal here, o Ah ............"

"You're ..................!!"

Hearing this, everyone was nervous, they stared at Rod deadly, and they couldn't imagine why this woman would know about it......... Damn, she noticed? How is this possible? Didn't you say that there wasn't anyone who joined the Guild to know what had happened?

So, what's next?

Soon, these mercenaries set their eyes on their White Spoon Leader, and their White Spoon Leader looked at Rod in front of him silently, gritting his teeth——— although they were unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately, but now, this woman has obviously known their White Spoon secret, so ......... Either way, we'll have to arrest her first!

Thinking of this, the man's eyes immediately showed a fierce light, and then, he made a subtle gesture to his subordinates.

Do it!!
