【Recruitment】Set sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!

Unusually quiet in the room.

After saying these words, Lijie seemed to finally relax, and she leaned back in her chair and looked at Rod. Rod, on the other hand, was lost in thought after listening to Lijie's words, and after a long time he spoke.

"I see, Lijie, what's next for you?"

"For me............ I don't think I have any special plans. ”

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Lijie smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"It's true that my return to the Golden City represents my acknowledgment of my identity, but I don't feel anything special about it. I don't have the talent of Marlene, and it's a very boring thing for me to make an ornament in the palace just by wearing fine clothes. I think......... As now, I'll still be in the mercenary group, and nothing will change. It's just ........."

"I see."

Rod nodded, interrupting Lijie's words.

"Since your mind hasn't changed, then I don't need to say anything, you can continue to prepare for the next battle as before. As for your status, I'm going to make it clear to those in the mercenary group that they don't care too much......... It's not difficult, and you can rest assured. ”

What Rhodes said is also true, indeed, the status of a princess in a mercenary group will always cause a lot of controversy. But fortunately, Lijie herself is a very easy person to get along with, and as a spirit master, she is originally respected, so Rod believes that as long as he grasps it properly, then there will be no discordant voices within the mercenary group. Of course, this is also due to Lijie's own good popularity. If she is a proud and selfish guy that no one likes, then this role will not only have no benefit to her, but may even bring a greater backlash.

"Thank you, Mr. Rod."

Hearing Rod's answer, Lijie breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and then she smiled a little, and then stood up.

"So, I'll go back to my room first."

Watching Lijie's figure disappear behind the door, Rod's originally calm expression changed at this time, he frowned, reached out and rubbed his forehead.

After listening to Lijie confess his life experience, Rod finally connected all the previous questions. He could tell that Lijie had no experience in political struggle, so there were some things that she didn't know at all. But for Rhodes, who lives in the age of the information explosion, he has understood something.

In fact, Lijie is not wrong, the fault lies in her background.

The Duchy of Moon is a strange country, and its succession to rulers is not the same as the historical royal family of having children and then fighting for power. Nor is it the kind that requires the approval of most royal families to become a ruler. Its dominance is innate——— that is, only the Archangel can inherit this position. This is a "legacy of history." "Originally, the Principality of Moon was within the power range of the Archangel of the Radiant Dragon, so the rulers here have always been the Archangels of the Throne for generations. In other words, the Duchy of Moon was originally a territory that existed under the name of the "Legion". However, later, because the power of the Radiant Dragon was weakened and deprived by the Parliament, in order to confront the Parliament, the Principality of Moon increased its independence and became an independent principality. However, this system of succession has also survived, so unlike other nations, the Duchy of Moon owes allegiance to the Archangel and the Dragon of Light. As the ruler of the Duchy of Moon, the archangel owes allegiance to the Dragon of Light. …,

Because of this, every ruler of the Duchy of Moon is "born." "They don't need to pass through political achievements, they don't need to go through the prestige of the people, and they don't need the opposition and support of the ministers, as long as they are archangels, they must be the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Moon. As for the others, they are not qualified to compete for this position.

This has always been a point that the Parliament has been hyping up, believing that the Duchy of Moon will only produce tyrants who are arrogant and have no one in their sights, and who cause harm to the whole country and its people. And there is no equality and justice at all, but the truth is not at all, as Lijie said, the archangels are all holy souls, strong power. Moreover, the good and orderly nature of the angels themselves determines that they cannot do things that harm their own people like the devil or even humans. Indeed, from the standpoint of humanity, it is quite possible that such a system will produce those terrible monarchs. That's because human beings are born with a blank slate, and if they are not well guided, they are prone to deviations. But angels are different, unless they are fallen angels, it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing.

Different races have different stances on things. But it is clear that the parliaments do not understand this, or that they do, but are not willing to accept it. Therefore, seeing that the attack on the royal family was ineffective, they began to turn their attention to the citizens of the Duchy of Moon, encouraging them to stand up against the "alien dictatorship". According to them, this country is not a country that belongs to angels, but to dwarves, humans, elves. Then, every race is equal, and of course they also have the right to participate in and even compete for the position of lord of the Duchy of Moon, which is a symbol of fairness, sacredness, self-justification, and justice. So, stand up, citizens! For the sake of self-justification, rebel against the dictatorship of the angels, throw your head, spill your blood, and sacrifice your life for a better life.

Rhodes had done a lot of work related to this, so he knew very well that it was not a day or two that the parliament had been so "tirelessly" selling "excuses" everywhere, and although most of the people did not buy it, there were still people who were willing to believe their arguments and were really willing to shed their blood for it. This has always been a problem for the Duchy of Moon.

With this background, the reason why the reformers in the south want to kidnap Lijie is also very clear.

Indeed, as Lijie herself said, she was born into a royal family, but she was completely unable to have the glory and status that Lydia has, which is a very pitiful thing in the eyes of outsiders. Even her mother, because she can't give Lijie an orthodox status, she loves her in every way to the point of overkill.

For the reformers, Lijie's existence is undoubtedly a beacon, she was born into a royal family and has human blood, but because of the unreasonable system of the Duchy of Moon, she lost the power and status that should have belonged to her, and finally even forced to live in exile. If you can really draw her into your camp, then think about it, a persecuted royal family, exiled to other countries, and finally with the efforts of the people who supported them, they formed a rebel army against the dictatorship, and then overthrew the dictatorship of the angels and established a brand new country, such a theme, such an inspirational, such a legendary story, isn't it just in line with most people's expectations?

Even if Lijie rejected their suggestions and was unwilling to contribute to these reforms, then they could also use her as a negative teaching material to educate those people, and see how frightening it is that a person can be brainwashed by those cruel and terrible rulers to not even have a sense of independence and resistance, but only to obey and submit......... Do you want to be like this? …,

So whatever Lijie herself thinks, as long as it falls into their hands, these reformers have enough ways to make her in their own interests.

Lijie herself didn't realize this, but Rhodes could be sure that Lydia was 100% aware, which is why she would make such a move. Rhodes can be sure that in just one day, Lijie's true identity will spread throughout the entire Huangyin Golden City, coupled with the huge influence of the Midsummer Festival, I am afraid that soon the entire Principality of Moon will know that they also have a princess.

After knowing this matter, everyone must have the same question, that is, what kind of person is this princess? Why didn't I know the Tao before? And what is she doing now?

Rhodes did not know how Lydia would deal with the problem, because these questions were the excuses that the reformers could use to attack the royal party, but he thought that with the character of this highness, he would definitely answer the public's questions with a set of rhetoric that would convince most people.

This is a complete conspiracy, because Lydia has been the lord of the Duchy of Moon for several years, and if the reformers questioned her in the first place of power, it might affect her dominance. At the beginning, the people of the Wang Party also took a fancy to this, so they sent Li Jie far away, and kept it secret from the reformers. But now it is different, Lydia has been in power for several years, the Duchy of Moon has been prosperous, and the people are living in peace and contentment, and after experiencing the abilities of this highness, the idea of replacing her is not very strong. So even if Lydia now generously acknowledges Lijie's status, it will definitely not shake her dominance in any way. And in this way, as long as Li Jie herself has nothing surprising, then the public's attention to Li Jie will gradually decline. In this way, even if the reformers want to make a fuss in this regard, they will not be able to slap in the face.

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but be a little shocked, he was able to figure out the connection because he had already experienced this era, in other words, Rod was able to look at the problem from this height because he had experienced it once before. Because of this, he was able to understand how ingenious Lydia's hand was, and even on the surface, Lydia herself had no loss, but she easily resolved a big crisis. Of course, this is also due to Lydia's own strong strength, if it weren't for the fact that she had made the Duchy of Moon prosperous over the years, but the people were not able to make a living, then I am afraid that there would be no way to do it now.

But......... Is it really that simple?

Although if you think about it carefully, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, but I don't know what Lu Dao is for, Rod always has a hunch that Lydia's plan is likely to have a lot to do with his Starlight mercenary group——— after all, Lijie currently belongs to the mercenary group, and it seems that she has no intention of leaving. So.........

Thinking of this, Rod closed his eyes.

"Seven Loves, go get old Walker."

The speed of Seven Love is indeed very fast, just a moment, Old Walker pushed open the door, walked into the room, and looked at Rod in front of him, Old Walker also had a somewhat complicated expression, obviously he also heard about Lijie.

"Boy, are you looking for me? Is it about Lijie? ”

"We'll talk about that later."

Faced with Old Walker's question, Rhodes waved his hand, and then, he looked at Old Walker intently and asked.

"How's it going for you to do it?"

"All the best, boy." …,

Hearing this, Old Walker immediately nodded confidently, and then he took out a map from his bosom and spread it out in front of Rod, with many red circles already drawn on it.

"It's not an absolute secret, I soon found out that during the Midsummer Festival, those visitors from outside will be placed in these areas around the Holy Arena, where the taverns and inns are located, and I have to say that the Golden City is indeed a big city...............

"That's good."

Rhodes examined the circles on the map carefully, then pondered for a moment, then reached into his arms, took out a purse full of gems and coins, and placed it in front of him under the bewildered gaze of old Walker.

"I'll give you the money, and I want you to take your people and go to these places from today onwards, and live in disguise as ordinary tourists, as for the next ......... All you have to do is do what I say. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, old Walker's eyes widened in surprise, and he stared at Rhodes in confusion, not understanding what the young man in front of him was thinking.

"What exactly do you want us to do? Brat? ”

"It's simple."

Hearing Old Walker's inquiry, Rhodes made a gesture.

"I need you to defeat our enemies."

Then, he said...... )
