Chapter 487: A Strange Silence

The night outside the window was pitch black.

Rhodes leaned against the window, looking out at the dark forest, with a satisfied expression in his eyes, he put down the paper in his hand and rubbed his forehead. At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and then, a petite figure walked in with breakfast.

“………… Rod............ Dinner ........."

"Thank you, Christie."

Looking at the girl with some difficulty putting the plate in her hand in front of her table, Rod smiled slightly, and then reached out to gently stroke Christie's hair, I have to say that the girl's soft and smooth hair feels very good, and even gives people a sense of peace of mind.

“………… Rod, when did you wake up? ”

"Four hours ago, don't worry, I'm fine."

Speaking of this, looking at Christie's expression in front of him, Rod couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's been two days since he returned to the fortress, and Rod's body is slowly recovering. He didn't reveal anything, nor did he explain anything to Lizzie and Marlene. After that, Corinna and the Silver-robed Mage of the Order Alliance thanked him one after another, though both of them revealed that they expected Rhodes to give them an answer. But to be honest, Rod himself didn't figure out the matter itself, not to mention that this was an internal affair of the Principality of Moon, and he couldn't answer irresponsibly. Therefore, he just casually talked a few words, and did not answer the question directly. Seeing that she couldn't get any answers, Corinna and the silver-robed old mage didn't bother anymore, and quickly took their leave. There is nothing Rhodes can do about this, and he is not worried about the Elven Kingdom, but the Order Alliance will definitely investigate this matter. However, this is not something that Rhodes can care about.

After returning to the fortress, Rhodes quickly began to recuperate, although having said that, Rhodes did not really become a shopkeeper because of this, on the contrary, only rested in bed for half a day, Rod immediately asked Old Walker to hand over all the intelligence, rumors and movements he had collected on the border of the Radiant Dragon Kingdom these days to himself. Even if his body can't move, his brain can still function, and any kind of rest is wasted in the moment.

Rhodes didn't have that time.

Although both Marlene and Canary oppose Rod's approach and think he should get some rest, they can't do anything about it when Rod refuses. But it would be a big mistake to think that Marlene and the others had nothing to do with Rod——— and they soon found someone who could restrain Rod.

Christie.

No one knows about Rod's feelings for Christie, so what Christie said Rhodes will definitely listen, and the truth is just as Marlene expected, Rhodes can face Marlene and Lijie with a sinking face, but in the face of Christie, he can't do anything——— what's worse is that the words he said when he persuaded Christie to rest have now become his own talisman......... Rod certainly didn't want to set a bad example for Christie.

Christie wasn't as reasonable as Marlene, but every time he looked at the girl's worried eyes, Rod could only involuntarily raise his hand in surrender......... Of course, even so, there was no way to stop him from continuing to do his job. After all, Christie herself is not in good health, and generally she is mostly only responsible for delivering three meals to Rod, and then she will go to her room to rest. So as long as Rhodes pretends to be a little better, there are always no flaws. …,

Although I'm sorry for Christie's hard work, for Rod, he really doesn't have time to rest.

The information brought by Old Walker was very miscellaneous, which was also Rhodes' request, according to his orders, Old Walker placed his mercenaries in various taverns, looked for information from those gossip, and then delivered it. There is a mess of all this information, and it is not easy to find the information you want from it. However, Rhodes quickly noticed a lot of problems——— the border area between the Land of Light and the Land of Night was once the movement and deployment of troops, the price of food had risen slightly, and the management of the city was stricter than usual. In many cases, mercenaries are not even allowed to go out of the city to venture out into the wilderness in search of hunting.

These are just a few of those subtle changes.

But after the incident in the Solagang Mountain Land, a large part of the information in Rhodes's hands was about this matter, after all, such a thing happened in the Solagang Mountain Territory, and the impact was also very great, and until now, almost no one on the mainland does not know what is wrong with the Solagang Mountain Land. Luckily, so far, Rhodes has not mentioned anything about the Demon Duke anywhere in the intelligence information he has gathered. This shows that the outside world does not yet understand the truth of this incident. But Rhodes knew that this was only a temporary situation, not to mention other countries, Moon, the country of night and the country of light were absolutely and absolutely impossible to let this matter go. The Duchy of Moon is in charge of management, and the guardian dragon souls of the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Night have been traumatized under the hands of the Demon Duke this time, if they don't come to investigate and manage, then it can only mean that they are foolish.

Rhodes didn't need to think much about it on the Night Nation side, this guy Di would definitely go back and report the matter to the upper echelons of the Night Nation thoroughly. And what will be the situation on the side of the country of light, Rod is not sure at all, after all, in the battle of the mountain territory of Solagang, he does not have time to care about too many people, although it is not that he did not see the messenger of the country of light, but whether the other party escaped in that disaster, Rod does not know. Although there was no messenger of the Kingdom of Light in the battle of the Stone Temple later, the relationship between the Elven Kingdom where Corinna is located and the Order Alliance where the silver-robed mage is located and the Kingdom of Light is not bad, and once any news leaks out, then it is still very likely to be detected by the Kingdom of Light. This is also the reason why Rod has been observing the intelligence from the Kingdom of Light in the past few days, he knows better than anyone that the ability of the Kingdom of Light to buckle the hat is first-class, not to mention that this time is strictly speaking a problem of the Principality of Moon, in case it is really played by the Council of Light, then I don't know what kind of chaos will happen to the Principality of Light.

And what puzzled Rhodes even more was the attitude of Archduke Lytia.

After returning to the fortress, he also submitted a report to the Golden City through Marlene, after which the Golden City also replied and invited Rhodes to go to the Golden City to tell the situation in person. However, in the face of this invitation, Rhodes asked Marlene to excuse herself on the excuse that she was weak and could not move and needed to rest. On the one hand, this is true, and on the other hand, Rhodes also hopes to delay some time to investigate the current situation in the Duchy of Moon.

Sure enough, under Rod's careful investigation, he really found some problems.

The aristocrats of the South are stirring.

The rumors in the market are naturally not to be believed, but Rhodes still senses the answer he expects from these rumors, the south is not peaceful at the moment, especially the newly established self-proclaimed mercenary alliance, if they were only gathering mercenaries at the beginning, then now it is even rumored that many well-trained soldiers have joined it. It is clear that this so-called mercenary alliance is not as pure as they claim. But judging from this information, Rhodes felt that a very, very troublesome situation was emerging. …,

As early as the end of the Midsummer Festival, after Lydia dealt a heavy blow to the Southern reformers with the help of the Wings of Self-Defeat, Rod was worried that the nobles would be ruined. None of them are stupid, and they must all understand that Lydia is taking this opportunity to continue to weaken their strength and influence and grind them to death. However, these aristocrats do not necessarily choose to sit idly by.

There are two glasses of poisoned wine in front of them, one is dead when it enters the throat, and one can confess a few last words, so which one will they choose?

Especially after the death of the consul in the mountains of Solagang, the movement of the Land of Light began to ease again, but at the same time, the actions of those reformers in the south became more and more intense, is there no instruction from the Land of Light behind this?

And the reason why Lydia didn't leave the Golden City and go to the Soragon Mountains is precisely because of this reason?

Rhodes didn't make this guess, but in fact, the position of Overseer was little known within the Duchy of Moon, and it was not even known what he did. And for Rod, if it weren't for the fact that the angel who fell by the influence of chaos was found in the sealing stone temple at the end of the year, then he would not have been associated with the Principality of Moon this time when the demon duke broke away from the seal. In other words, except for a limited number of people such as himself, no one knew that the problem of the Solagang Mountain Territory was actually caused by the supervisors. No one even knew that this matter was related to the Duchy of Moon.

The reason why Archduke Lydia didn't choose to leave the Golden City this time to deal with the problem of the Soragon Mountains was that she had noticed something she didn't know about the Dao? Could it be that the situation in the south has really reached such a level of endangerment? So that Archduke Lydia can't even leave the Golden City half a step? Also, if Archduke Lydia really knew about this, then what was her purpose in choosing herself? Was she sure she could handle the Demon Duke? Is this a coincidence? Or was it premeditated?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but raise his head and look at the letter in his hand. It was Archduke Lydia's response after the report, which did not give the answer that Rhodes expected, but agreed to Rhodes' excuse and expected him to go to the Golden City to report after recuperating in his health.

Rhodes is not worried that Lydia will find this excuse to his disadvantage, firstly, his current strength is not low, after killing the Demon Duke, another unexpected joy that Rhodes found was that the experience value of killing the Demon Duke was actually calculated on his head, which made him rise to seven levels at once, and at the same time got fourteen skill points, but Rod did not use these skill points immediately, after all, his body is still very weak, even if he wants to strengthen at this time, the final result is only an incomplete result. So he plans to wait until he's done recuperating before replenishing it. In this way, Rhodes really rose to level forty and entered the master realm. Coupled with the equipment recovered from the corpse of the demon duke, it would not be so easy for Lydia to kill herself and keep it a secret. Although with Rod's understanding of Lydia, this archangel is not like the kind of person who will do anything to keep a secret, but after all, he is a human and not an angel, although he wants to stand on Lydia's side, but he also has to consider the possibility of danger in case of danger, right?

However, although the work of investigating intelligence is boring, Rhodes is not completely devoid of time for recreation.

"The hosts!!!" You can almost return Sister Ben's things. ”

The sound of Celestina gritting her teeth sounded in her ears again, and the corners of Rod's mouth turned up slightly when she heard Selestina's complaints. …,

"I've made it clear, Celestina, if you're willing to break the seal and show me what's in that bag, I'll give it back to you at once."

"Master, you ..................!!"

Hearing Rod's words, Selestina was angry for a while, and she only now began to regret why she had to say it so quickly, but after hearing Celestina's words, Rod quickly made an unexpected decision——— he actually hacked the equipment!

Of course, it wasn't because Rhodes wanted the magic equipment, after all, Rhodes hadn't figured out what it was, but at least one thing he knew. That is, since this magical equipment was found from the demon duke's body, its history is at least thousands of years old, and if this equipment really belongs to Celestina, then her identity is likely to date back to the ancient war period. Rhodes had always wanted to know the origin of his two swords, but Celia was very jealous about them, and Celestina never answered them directly. Now that he has finally gotten a handle, Rhodes naturally plans to make good use of it.

Of course, this also includes a small punishment for Celestina, after all, although Rod doesn't mind his subordinates joking with him or something, but he is always a little unhappy to be called by Celestina, and he is always a little unhappy in terms of face, and at this moment he has found such a thing that can be used to play on the topic, of course Rod doesn't plan to end here, he can play a good trick on this arrogant sister, and let her deeply understand the master-slave relationship is also a good choice, isn't it?

"My conditions are simple, how? Selestina, as one of my subordinates, you should think about it. ”

"Die, master!! That's Sister Ben's thing, where do you have this qualification as a human being! Hmph, it's a big deal that Sister Ben doesn't want it! ”

Celestina's voice echoed in Rod's head, then quickly faded away. Hearing Celestina's answer, Rod only shrugged his shoulders, and then he focused his attention on the dinner in front of him again.

At this moment, the door opened again, and then a dull voice sounded.

"Excuse me, master."

Rhodes looked up and saw the sea elves standing quietly in the doorway——— but unlike usual, at this moment, Agamell was holding a large, white, soft pillow by his hand.

"Agapy? What are you doing? ”

"That's what Sister Christie meant."

While answering Rod's question indifferently, Agarve came to the bed and arranged the pillows and bedding quietly, and when he heard Agame's answer, Rod turned his head in some surprise and looked at Christie, who was sitting next to him reading a book.

"Christie?"

“………… Hmmm............"

Noticing Rod's gaze, Christie looked up, looked at Rhodes with a smile, and nodded.

"It's ......... It's mine......... Decision............ Because Sister Marlene said...... Rhodes always ............ Not a good rest, so ............ I decided to ............ with Rhodes Sleeping together ........."

Saying this, the girl raised her head with a little hesitation and looked at Rod.

"Rhodes............ May I? ”。 ）
