Chapter 492: Greyhill, Madaras
When the two girls looked at Rod, he was surprised to find that he didn't feel anything.
It wasn't because of the two girls, on the contrary, Rod noticed a very strange thing, that is, although they were watching him, Rod didn't feel their gaze at all, which was quite rare for Rhodes. Although his body was a little weakened from the previous battle with the Demon Duke, his keen senses did not disappear. And even so, Rhodes actually couldn't feel their gaze, which in itself already shows the strength that these two girls have.
He is worthy of being the child of the wind.
Thinking of this, Rhodes couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he hadn't stood in front of the two of them, staring at their faces, then he would not have noticed and reacted to these two people anywhere, this is the most powerful assassin of the elf clan, Rhodes has seen the introduction of these elf assassins in the historical materials of the elf kingdom mined by the elf players in the game forum, and I have to say that the characteristics of the elves are indeed very suitable for them to be killers. They are agile, agile, good at using the terrain to cover their bodies, good at bows and arrows and sneak attacks, if it weren't for the arrogant personality of the elves themselves, and their spiritual cleanliness dislike this evil and insidious approach, I am afraid that the elves would have more assassins.
Back then, players in the game dug up intelligence information about the "Son of the Wind", and a large part of the reason was to restore this ancient profession, there is such a tradition in the game world of the Dragon Soul Continent, and many advanced professions need players to go through trials or dig out by themselves. Especially those legendary classes in the ancient era, if players can dig them out of the dust of history and see the light of day, then they can become the unique successors of this class——— this temptation is not small for players, and in fact, those legendary classes that have been rediscovered by players do have powerful abilities that are difficult for ordinary players to match.
Take the Children of the Wind, for example, who were sealed away after the Great War as an elf. A forgotten class, the Children of the Wind possess a skill that looks like a cheat to all players.
Bokeh.
To put it simply, an Elven Assassin with the Void skill is as if he is completely at one with the air. You don't even notice the other person's presence, whether it's body temperature or life form. sight, and even killing intent. When these elven assassins really wanted to hide, they were completely non-existent. What's even worse is that, according to the description of this skill in the forum, the blurring skill is not the so-called covering of the other party's senses, or using some kind of blinding method to cover one's own body. They don't seem to exist in this world, and even if the elven assassins stand there, you can't do the slightest damage or damage to them with your sword or magic, as if you were fighting the air in vain.
This skill is almost invincible, and what's worse is that it's a passive skill. There is no need to consume any force at all. Although there are not many players on the forums who claim that as long as they use spatial spells to tear apart the opponent's area and throw it to the half-plane, then this blur skill is just a joke. But at least judging from the information dug up by the players in the forums, this unreal skill is indeed rebellious enough, and it can even be said to disrupt the balance of the game.
However, until the end of the day, the player was not able to restore the inheritance of the Elven Assassin class of "Child of the Wind". This profession is also like itself, ethereal, and there is no trace of its actual existence at all, and there were once players who thought that the class of the Children of the Wind might have something to do with the Dark Elves, but it took them more than half a year to go underground and not find any clues. And the dark elves are also proficient in the art of assassination. But compared to the Children of the Wind, it seems to be the difference between an amateur and a professional. …,
Just when Rod recalled the characteristics of the profession of the Son of the Wind in his heart, the two girls had already jumped off the table silently, the white robe covered their bodies, the wide brim of the hat covered the two faces that could be regarded as very pure, sweet and lovely, leaving only the round white chin vaguely left outside, they just stood in front of Rod without saying a word, without saying a word.
"Uh..............."
The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, and Labis looked at the two girls a little nervously, opening her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say. And Rod didn't say a word, just watched them quietly. After a moment, he opened his mouth and asked with a hint of hesitation.
"Greyhill? Madaras? ”
“………………”
The two girls nodded almost at the same time, they looked like a pair of reflections, there was no change in height, appearance or clothing, Rod had no way to tell who they were from their appearance——— not to mention, even when they were in the form of weapons, Rod didn't figure out these two short swords, if it weren't for their own labels, I'm afraid even Rod himself would have confused these two short swords.
But before Rod could say anything more, the two girls took a step forward at the same time and came to his side, and then, the two of them each held one of Rod's hands, one left and one right, and soon, Rod felt two warm and comfortable energy transmitted from his palm, which made his originally somewhat painful and tired body suddenly feel a lot easier, and Rod could even clearly feel that under the effect of these two forces, the soul power in his body seemed to be much more abundant.
Are they treating themselves?
Just as Rod turned this thought, suddenly, a spiritual connection sounded from the depths of his heart. Soon, Selestina's voice came from the bottom of Rod's heart.
"Ah............ I felt my sister's strength............ Alas, alas!! Sister Greyhill? Sister Madaras?!! How did you wake up? How is this possible? And what did that cunning bastard human do?? ”
Hearing Celestina's words, Rod raised an eyebrow. If you want to say who he has the worst relationship with among the summoned elves, then this devil lady must be in the first place, although Celestina has never disobeyed Rod's orders, but her prejudices and opinions about Rod have never decreased. will be sarcastic to Rod at every turn.,Although she's a beautiful girl.,But Rod is not the kind of M who will get excited when he's scolded.。 It is his etiquette to have contacts and dealings, which also leads to constant cynicism between the two. Selestina seems to have a big opinion about Rhodes having the Holy Sword deck as a normal human, but even Rhodes doesn't know what to do. What exactly she has a problem with herself.
"I'm useless, Celestina, familiar. If you talk like that, I'll sue you for slander. ”
"Who slandered you? Miss Ben is a high-ranking nobleman, you are such a mere mortal, are you still worthy of Miss Ben lying and framing? With following you for so long, how could Miss Ben not know that you are a very lustful ....................." Celestina's words were not finished, because at the same time, Rod felt that the soft little hands of Greyhill and Madaras holding his palm were slightly stronger, although that little strength was almost insignificant, but Celestina's original gushing speech suddenly stopped like a dumb voice. And when she spoke again, Rhodes no longer heard the swaggering momentum of the girl's mouth, but instead the weakness and fear that trembled like a hungry wolf's toothed lamb. …,
“……………… Not. I'm so sorry, my sisters, I, I didn't mean to offend my master........."
It's really a thing.
While listening to Celestina's unprecedented apology, Rod looked curiously at the two girls who were standing in front of him at the moment. He found it in the Holy Sword deck. The relationship between these sisters is obvious. Celia's personality is very persistent and stubborn. But in front of Selestina, she couldn't refute the other party's words at all, and often Celestina pointed to the east, and she would never dare to go west. And now, the proud devil lady faced these two girls who looked even younger than her, and she was as honest as a mouse seeing a cat.
After saying this. Celestina immediately disconnected from her heart and stopped talking. Gresil and Madaras let go of their palms at the same time, they took a step back at the same time, then stretched out their right hand and pressed it on their chest, and made a strange salute to Rod, and then, a dazzling and gentle white light bloomed from the two girls' bodies, and soon they were enveloped in it, and soon the figures of the two girls disappeared again in the light.
But to Rod's surprise, after they disappeared, what appeared in front of Rod was not the holy sword card he expected, on the contrary, the two short swords were still suspended quietly in the air, without the slightest movement. Nothing changed except for the vague glow of magic that showed that they had recovered from the devastation they had suffered before.
What's going on?
Rhodes was stunned by this strange scene, and he had thought that Greyhill and Madaras would become summoned spirits in the Holy Sword card after returning to their human form. But it didn't change, thinking of this, Rhodes quickly opened his panel and checked, and sure enough, 2/10 was still displayed in the Holy Sword deck, which means that these two short swords were not included in the deck at all.
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning, he stretched out his hand and re-grasped the two short swords, this time, Rod sensed more things from these two short swords——— if the two short swords were just used very smoothly before, then he can now clearly feel the life of these two weapons, it is as if he felt from the nightmare and star marks, it is a wonderful feeling that can only be understood and cannot be spoken.
And at this moment, when Rod checked these two weapons again, he found that whether it was Gresil or Madaras, there was an extra attribute on the weapon attribute description that had never been there before.
【Soul Weapon ——— Contact Status】
In the end, Rhodes didn't figure out why the two weapons that had clearly transfigured into human form were not included in the cards like the other two weapons, and he had asked Celia and Celestina about it again, and Celia was still the same, although she was usually taciturn and strong, but she was at a loss when it came to this matter. No matter what you say, you don't want to answer. As for Celestina, Rhodes simply hit a soft nail and couldn't get a response at all.
However, Rod did not have time to study the matter itself, because just two days later, as Rode's health gradually improved, a gilded letter was placed in front of Rode's desk. The letter undoubtedly came from the Golden City, and its contents made Rod frown. In the letter, Lydia invites him to the Golden City. Report on what happened in the Solagang Mountain Territory before.
This request did not surprise Rhodes, but to his surprise, it was not only Lydia and the royal family——— but also the envoys of the Council of Light. …,
In the letter Lydia didn't say much, but from what she hinted at. Rhodes could see that this time the Council of Light seemed to have conducted a certain degree of investigation into the matter, and he didn't know if they had come to the Duchy of Moon this time to find an explanation or trouble, but either way. None of this is a good sign for Rhodes.
Although Rhodes used to find excuses to delay in order to collect information, hoping to report after his body recovered, but this time Rod's methods did not work, according to Lydia in the letter, it is obvious that the envoys of the Council of Light are extremely concerned about this matter, and what makes Rhodes frown even more is that Lydia in the letter made it very clear that this time Rhodes wanted Rhodes to go to the Golden City to report, and it was the envoys of the Council of Light who proposed it.
As soon as I saw the news. Rhodes immediately became nervous, and the Council of Light knew it? How did they know the Tao? How much do they know? Old Walker's intelligence search continues, but there is nothing related to him or Moon in the rumors, which means that this matter should not have been widely circulated so far. But if the Council of Light knew about it, to what extent did they know about it?
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the Golden City."
Rhodes sat behind his desk. looked at the people with serious expressions in front of him, and then spoke. Seeing his expression, Lijie was a little hesitant and seemed a little puzzled.
"Mr. Rhodes, I still don't quite understand, why is this the request of the envoys of the Council of Light? Our mission is a matter for the Moon royal family. It doesn't have much to do with the Council of Light. Moreover, your injuries are not completely healed, or ......... Do you want me to talk to my sister and ask them to ............ another time?"
"That's right, Lijie, but that's not the case."
Faced with Lijie's slightly resentful inquiry, Rod shook his head.
"Although on the surface, the Duchy of Moon has always been outside the Land of Light, in writing, the Duchy of Moon is a vassal of the Dragon of Light. And the Dragon of Light has also personally delegated power to the Kingdom of Light, that is to say, in terms of rank, the Council of Light is a little higher than Her Royal Highness Lydia, so since they have made a request, then Archduke Lydia can only carry it out. This has nothing to do with the will of Her Highness Lydia herself, and although the relationship between us and the Land of Light is already very stiff, at this time, if I don't go to the Golden City, or if Her Highness Lydia refuses the other party's request, it will inevitably have a bad impact. ”
Hearing Rod's words, Lijie couldn't help but look a little gloomy, she bit her lower lip, wanting to say something more, but she never spoke again. Marlene also noticed her friend's situation, and she sighed inwardly, and then Marlene cheered up and looked at Rod. At this time, Anne, who was sitting next to her, scratched her hair suspiciously.
"Captain, Anne still doesn't understand, why do those guys from the Land of Light look at us so unpleasantly, and they want to make trouble for us wherever they go?"
"Well, it's not because of their arrogance."
Hearing Anne's inquiry, old Walker first snorted coldly, he knocked on the flask in his hand, and then said with a dissatisfied face.
"Those bastards in the Land of Light are all a bunch of scum, thinking that only they are superior people, and they don't look down on people from other countries at all, and the idea of this group of bastards to fight the Principality of Moon is not a matter of a year or two, don't forget the Battle of Wanhua fifty years ago, it's really damned......... I'm angry when I think of that! ”
The "Battle of Ten Thousand Flowers" mentioned by Old Walker was a small-scale battle that took place fifty years ago in the border area between the Duchy of Moon and the Land of Light, when the Land of Light sent troops to the border for exercises, but for some reason, these soldiers crossed the border and clashed with a local nomadic tribe, and in the end, the Land of Light actually launched an army to deal a devastating blow to that tribe on the grounds that the other party had made a threat to its army. As a result, the tribe of three or four hundred men suffered heavy casualties in front of the well-armed Light Troop, and less than one in a hundred were able to escape from it. …,
This incident shocked the entire Duchy of Moon at the time, and when the former Grand Duke went to the Council of Light to question, the other party only sent the former Grand Duke back on the grounds of a mistake in judgment, not only that, but they only symbolically punished a few soldiers who were responsible for giving orders, and did not even sentence them to death, but pretended to be tried and completely released. At that time, this incident caused quite a stir within the Duchy of Moon, and there were even nobles who proposed to sever diplomatic relations with the Land of Light. But in the end, the matter was also settled.
It was also after that that the relationship between the Principality of Light and the Principality of Moon began to deteriorate and break down in an all-round way, until Lydia came to power, and she vigorously swept away all the influence of the Principality of Light in the Principality of Moon.
This is also the reason why the confrontation between the north and the south is so serious in the Duchy of Moon, in the eyes of the people of the north, the country of light is a group of fierce and evil executioners, and fifty years ago they entered the territory of the Duchy of Moon without the permission of the Duchy of Moon, and the massacre of its inhabitants is even more hateful. But it's such a group of bastards, who are still worshiped as saviors by the group of people in the south who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who eat soft and hard, which they absolutely can't forgive!
"So, Rod, who are you going to take to the Golden City this time?"
Hearing Marlene's question, everyone couldn't help but be a little curious, but soon, Rod gave an answer that surprised everyone.
"No, I don't bring any."
In the face of Marlene's inquiry, Rhodes gave an answer almost without thinking.
"I almost already know what the Council of Light wants to do this time, but in order to prevent accidents, this time I plan to go alone, you just need to focus on the internal affairs of the fortress." Saying this, Rod showed a distinct, soft smile.
"This time, I'm going to give a big surprise to those noble lords of the Land of Light......... Let's hope they won't refuse to accept my gift. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
