Joey's expression when he said this sentence was almost representative of all the expressions that he heard, his eyes widened slightly, his lips pursed, and he didn't know whether to get angry or laugh, and at the same time his eyes rolled towards him, and his nose wrinkled, as if he had eaten something difficult to eat. This shows that even Joey himself doesn't believe in this kind of nonsense, but it is also a matter of course, in the guild, if you want to say who is the most harmless, then Labis must be at the top of the list. Not to mention that Joey had been with Lando and Labis for a long time, and he knew better than anyone what kind of entry Labis was. If Labis is also poisoned, then they must all be bloody killers.

"Go on."

Rhodes didn't say much, he had gradually figured out the whole outline of the matter, but it seemed that he might be stupid, and it was a good thing for Labis that the other party could come to the door. If this is the case, then Rod is still very confident in how to deal with this matter.

Seeing that Rhodes didn't react to what he said, it couldn't help but make Joey feel a little bored, but he still mentioned the god Jīng and continued to report.

"I haven't found out exactly what the competition is, boss. But I only knew that these people muttered as if something had happened to a very valuable object in the Alchemist Guild, and then they found us. Saying this, Joey pursed his lips disdainfully. I've also heard that those bastards are not small, boss, you kicked them out of the fortress, and those idiots are still talking nonsense there, saying that they want the lords to come in and make decisions for them, and that we mercenaries are all barbarians and unreasonable, and they still say......... Uh............"

At this, Joey suddenly stopped as if he was dumb, and then he glanced at Rod with some embarrassment, coughed, and cleared his throat.

"This ......... Didn't say anything more, boss. ”

Hearing Joey's somewhat sneering answer, Rod glanced at him, although from Joey's attitude, he knew that the other party must have said something, but since this kid was so smart and didn't say it, then he didn't pursue it anymore. For Rhodes, the immediate issues are more important than the idle gossip.

"Very well, you keep an eye on those guys to see if they leave the Land of Atonement obediently, if they know each other and know how to get out of here, then it would be great, but if they don't go............ Do you know how to teach them a lesson, our Starlight Guild is not here specifically to smash the field. ”

"Roger, Boss, I'll go now!"

Hearing Rod's answer, Joey immediately jumped high, and then he quickly saluted Rod, and then turned away impatiently. Looking at Joey's distant back, Rod shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and walked towards the fortress.

And at the same time, the alchemists walking in the fortress were also extremely shocked when they looked at the scene in front of them.

It's hard to imagine.

Sitting in the bright living room, the white-bearded old man looked at all this in front of him with a surprised face, and his eyes couldn't help but show surprise and admiration. As a high-ranking member of the Alchemist Guild in the Duchy of Moon, he had certainly heard rumors of the Starlight Guild and their particularly strange leader. At that time, Lao Jin just talked about all this as an anecdote, and he didn't expect that he would come here and see all this with his own eyes.

If before coming to the Land of Atonement, Lao Jin thought that the rumors about Starlight were just some nonsense rumors, now he has no such thoughts in his heart. The alchemist is a craftsman of the arts, of course he can see the true power of this huge fortress in front of him, it is not only as grand and magnificent as it seems on the surface, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you look closely, you will also find that the entire fortress is secretly combined with a powerful magic circle form, although I don't know what kind of magic circle is that shrouds this fortress, but the old man can be sure that once it is launched, the effect will definitely not be as simple as just setting off a firework.

"I really didn't expect ........."

Retracting his gaze from the arrow tower outside the window, Lao Jin involuntarily whispered to himself. It was hard for him to imagine that just a few months ago, this place was a barren place. With such a tall fortress, even with the assistance of mages and alchemists, it would have been absolutely impossible to complete such a huge complex in just a few months. However, the Alchemist Guild's intelligence sources are extremely certain, and there can be no loopholes. In other words, the young man named Rhodes had indeed built such a huge fortress in just a few months.

How did he do it?

For Lao Jin, this is a topic of great interest, but now he has no time to think about these at all, this time the trouble within the association is very big, which also involves this guild that has been in the limelight in the Duchy of Moon recently, and because of this, Lao Jin will personally lead a team to investigate here for the sake of prudence. Now it seems that he did the right thing, regardless of how Rod did it in a few months, but since he did it, it means that this man has a huge amount of strength and backstage. If that's the case, then it's definitely not a good idea to go head-to-head with the Starlight Guild.

Let alone......... His subordinates.

Thinking of this, Lao Jin couldn't help but raise his head and glanced at the graceful figure who was standing by the window at the moment. Although on the surface, it was just a beautiful girl who was only a teenager and was really lively, but Lao Jin could clearly sense the almost materialized soul power condensed by her side, and he could even see the power of the core three rings representing the three poles of the spell slowly flowing around the girl, all of which could only show one thing——— that is, the girl in front of her was a teacher who had entered the legendary realm.

If this fortress only brought shock to Lao Jin, then this fact brought him an incomparable amazement. A legendary master who is only a teenager should be famous no matter where he is placed. Such a young talent, even in the impression of the old, is unique. But now, she's just that young man's subordinate here?! The existence of a subordinate with the strength of the legendary realm, what kind of power and trump card does he have behind him?

At this moment, Lao Jin was extremely glad that he had made a very wise decision, the reason why he wanted to lead the team personally before was because Lao Jin was in the Golden City, and naturally knew that the royal family of the Dao Dao was very concerned about this new guild, and Lydia also had a good impression of that young man. Not only that, but considering the inheritance of Shania, the first family of Moon, into Marlene. Shania and Lydia's sister are both in this guild, and if the Alchemist Guild comes to the door to ask for the guilt, one of them will not be handled well, and it may even involve two powerful forces. At that point, things will be in trouble.

Although alchemists, like the church, belong to the institutions of the mainland, and there is no distinction between countries, their white spoon strength is not much stronger than that of the church. The existence behind the Bijing Church is the twin dragons of the Law Country, and the Alchemist Association is also mortal no matter how it is said. Moreover, whether it is the Moon royal family or the Shania family, their strength in magic guidance and alchemy techniques is not inferior to that of the Alchemist Association, and there is no need to look at them at all. That's why he chose to be cautious, and now it seems that he made an extraordinarily wise decision. Just by looking at this fortress and the girl in front of him, he already knew that the young man was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface——— he could not be just a nobleman, and it could even be rumors of an ancient family, and only they had such strength and skills. Not only that, but those strange sea jīng spirits also surprised Lao Jin, as an erudite alchemist, he had certainly heard of sea jīng spirits, which were creatures that lived purely in the water elemental plane and rarely had any kind of interaction. Not to mention coming to the main plane and working for the class. But in this fortress, so far, they have seen dozens of sea jīng spirits, they are working here in an orderly manner, and they do not seem to have the slightest intention of being forced and bound, which can only show one thing——— that is, no matter who is competing behind this guild, they have enough strength to communicate, communicate, and even sign contracts with the elemental plane.

But thinking of this, Lao Jin's brows furrowed again......... After that incident, all the findings pointed to the Starlight Guild. Even within the association, there are many members who think that it is just a mercenary guild, and it is not a big deal at all. But now it seems that this mercenary guild is not as simple as it seems on the surface, I heard that the Council of Light also came here to trouble them with white spoons, but as a result, the Sword Saint of Lan was directly abolished by the other party, and he couldn't even remember who he was after he went back............ Hopefully they won't be the second Council of Light.

Thinking of this, Lao Jin couldn't help but worry. If this matter really has something to do with the Starlight Guild in front of you, then the Alchemist Guild is likely to encounter an unprecedented catastrophe. Well, this will definitely not be a good thing for the Alchemist Guild, which has been gradually declining.

And just when Lao Jin frowned and thought, he only heard that suddenly, the heavy wooden door opened. Then, a strange, young man's voice came from in front of their white spoon.

"Everyone, welcome to the Starlight Guild."

Hearing this voice, Lao Cheng raised his head, and then narrowed his eyes slightly——— only to see that not far in front of him, a young man wearing a black sè dress and a thin figure was standing there. He had long black hair, and as rumored, a beautiful girlish face, and his indifferent expression. Even when he saw the arrival of the young man, there was no change in the expression on the young man's face, as if his face was carved out of stone.

What a tough guy to deal with.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Lao Jin sighed in his heart, and then, he tidied up his clothes, touched his gray beard, raised his head, stood up, and nodded with a smile at the young man in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Rhodes, I'm Daxos of the Alchemist Guild. Bel. This time, I'm here on behalf of the Alchemist Guild and I want to discuss something with your guild. ”

Of course I know who you are.

Looking at the gray-bearded old man in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Dassos. Bell is one of the highest leaders of the Alchemist Guild in the Duchy of Moon, and any player who studies alchemy will inevitably participate in his assessment when they level up. Rhodes also learned alchemy in the game because of his identity as a summoning swordsman, and naturally he has dealt with this veteran no less. However, after crossing into this world, because he picked up an alchemy master, Rod didn't spend any effort to improve his alchemy level, and naturally he didn't meet this old man again.

However, although Rod thought so in his heart, he didn't show anything on the surface, just made a gesture to Dassos with an expressionless face and nodded.

"You may be seated, Master Dassos, I have heard your name, and you are also a very famous member in the Alchemist Guild."

Hearing Rod's answer, Dassos smiled helplessly, although the other party sounded just polite, but with the current tense situation, as well as Rod's indifferent, bland, and refusal to enter thousands of miles away, it really made Lao Jin a little unsure whether he was polite or sarcastic, but Dassault had already passed that young and vigorous age, so although it sounded like Rod was sarcastic about himself, he didn't care. just smiled bitterly, then sat down again, restrained his expression, and looked at Rod in front of him with a serious face.

"That's right, Mr. Rod, this time, our Alchemist Guild came to your guild because there is a matter of great importance that requires your white spoon's cooperation in the investigation............ If I could, I would like to be able to talk about it separately in private. ”

Hearing Lao Jin's words, Rod raised his eyebrows, then he turned his head, looked at the canary standing by the window and watched the scenery, and snapped his fingers. Hearing the snapping of his fingers, the canary also turned his head, first glanced at them, and then nodded to Rhodes and smiled slightly.

"So, Rod, I'll go see what's going on on Christie's side."

"I'll leave it to you."

After whispering to Rod, Canary smiled and nodded at the alchemists, then turned and left the hall. Seeing this scene in front of him, Dassos was even more surprised in his heart, he himself has not weak strength, and naturally he also saw through that the strength that Rhodes possessed was only a master level. But even so, in the face of the division of that legendary realm, Rhodes really called her so easily, and the other party actually did not have the slightest disgust. This was a surprise to Dassos. Many noble families will recruit some strong people, but in the Dragon Soul Continent, Bi Jing is respected by strength. Most of the strong people also have their own self-esteem, and it is difficult to accept being exchanged for them. But the girl was able to accept Rod's instructions so calmly......... This is not just something that ordinary aristocrats can do later.

Is it because of the intimacy between them?

However, this thought only turned in Dassos's mind, and he quickly put it away, Bi Jing did not come to gossip this time. Thinking of this, Lao Jin quickly became serious, he raised his head, looked at Rod, and then spoke.

"Here's the thing......... Mr. Rhodes, half a month ago, Walter, the president of the Alchemist Guild, fell into a coma due to a sudden serious illness, and he has not woken up until now. Because of this, the work of the entire Alchemist Guild is now stagnant and very chaotic. ”

Before Dassos could finish his sentence, he heard Rod sneer and interrupt him.

"That's interesting, Mr. Dassos. If I'm not mistaken, the Alchemist Guild's chapters are supposed to be governed by three vice-presidents, and even if the guild falls, the entire Alchemist Guild shouldn't stop functioning. If the Alchemist Guild is really so fragile, I'm afraid it will be completely finished by the Third Battle of the High Cliffs. ”

Hearing the "Third Battle of the High Cliffs", Dexos's face stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his previous steady, and in the face of Rhodes's sarcasm, Lao Jin just smiled slightly and nodded.

"Indeed, as you said, Mr. Rod, if it was only the president who fell ill, then the situation would not be like this, but after our white spoon investigation, we have conclusive evidence to prove that the president was not seriously ill because of physical reasons, but was poisoned."

Saying this, Daxos raised his eyebrows and looked at Rod quietly, but to his disappointment, even after hearing the news, Rode's face was still calm and indifferent, and even his eyes did not change in the slightest, as if what he heard was something completely unrelated to him——— although it was also true. Sensing the old gaze, Rod moved his body slightly to make himself sit more comfortable, and at the same time, he crossed his fingers and looked at the old man in front of him for a long time.

"That's funny, Master Dassault, if I remember correctly, you should be the Alchemists' Guild, for all alchemists, detoxification and other things............ You're probably no stranger to it. ”

"As you say, Mr. Rhodes."

Hearing Rod's answer, Daxos nodded.

"If it was just an ordinary poison, the Alchemist Association would naturally be sure to remove it, but this time the poison is extraordinary, we have used almost all the methods, and we can only temporarily alleviate the continued invasion of the poison, but there is no way to completely remove it. According to our White Spoon investigation, the production method of this poison is very rare, and it is not something that ordinary alchemists can do. ”

"So what?"

Hearing this, Rod's body straightened up slightly, and he knew that now was the real critical moment.

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Dassos did not answer immediately, on the contrary, Lao Jin reached into his arms, and then, he took out a small crystal potion bottle and put it on the table in front of him, and then, Lao Jin raised his head and stared at Rod.

"I think Mr. Rhodes must be very impressed with this thing."
