If Rod knew Anne's thoughts, then he would definitely regret that he shouldn't have "acted on the spot" yesterday but slapped him directly, maybe it would have been more effective. But fortunately, he didn't know what was going on in Anne's head, because the girl who got up after a good sleep was as refreshed as ever, smiling and smiling at the surface, so Rod didn't care too much about this problem, he was more concerned about the next question. And in order to avoid complications, while it was still dawn, Rhodes left the tavern with Anne and walked in the direction of the Black Pine Ruins.

Located deep in the black pine forest, the Black Pine Ruins are relics from ancient times, it was originally a huge palace, but now due to the passage of time, most of it has been buried underground, it is located in a remote and very dangerous location. Ordinary people are reluctant to approach, and logically speaking, it shouldn't be a problem for Rhodes to do it alone.

If no one gets ahead of them.

The mercenary group mentioned by the tavern owner yesterday has been the center of Rhodes' biggest troubles, and it has been several days, although the boss said that he has not seen them back, but who knows what happened to them? Are you still adventuring in the ruins of the black pine? Or have you found something to leave? No one can say for sure, and they don't know what to do. So Rhodes can only do his best to listen to the fate of heaven and see the situation. However, according to his understanding, the Orb of Mysteries should not have been discovered by those people, because the Stronghold mission is still within the achievable range and has not changed, which means that there should be no problem········· But this is not a game after all, who knows?

Rhodes was no stranger to the black pine ruins, and soon he took Anne through the black pine forest to the depths of the forest, and soon he saw the ruins that had almost sunk into the ground.

Huge brick and stone monuments, incomplete ruins, black holes, doors and entrances, and statues that are half buried in the ground and half exposed to the ground, but can no longer be seen. Everything was so nostalgic and familiar that standing in front of the ruins, Rhodes was even in a trance, thinking that he was back in the world of the game - and the scene that followed made him wonder if he had fallen asleep and returned to the game.

"Hey, who are you!"

Just as Rhodes and Anne were about to enter the ruins, two or three mercenaries suddenly appeared, their swords in their hands, and they looked at the two people in front of them vigilantly, with a thick murderous aura on their faces.

"This place is temporarily blocked by our 'Diamond Mercenary Regiment, no one is allowed to enter, if you plan to take the risk, change places."

It's been a long time......

Looking at these mercenaries in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh. In the game, there are quite a few cases where the player guild clears the area for leveling up and drives other players away. As a result, the same thing happened here...... It seems that humans are indeed very common creatures.

But...... Diamond mercenary group?

Rhodes thought about it for a moment, and then immediately found out what the problem was, and he knew that there was no name for this mercenary group in the Parfield area. Aren't they natives?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but raise his vigilance.

"Diamond mercenary group? I've never heard of this name······ You're not a mercenary group in the Pafield area, are you? ”

"So what?"

Hearing Rod's rhetorical question, the other party couldn't help but snort coldly, he really didn't take this guy who was wrapped in a cloak all over his body in his eyes, you must know that there are more than sixty people in their diamond mercenary group, and there are only two people here, and they dare to talk nonsense in front of them, they are really impatient! …,

"What does this have to do with you? Boy, I advise you to stay away from here, it annoys us, and you don't have good fruit to eat! ”

Anne shook her head with a grin, and then she turned her attention to Rod, who didn't think he would do anything with the girl's understanding of Rod. Especially last night, although the attention was on bread, she still heard Rod's words clearly. So hearing that the other party was so provocative, the girl was ready to do it immediately when Rhodes reacted.

However, this time Rod was unexpectedly not angry, on the contrary, he just nodded slightly and turned away. This made Anne, who was already ready for a battle, completely confused, but although she was puzzled in her heart, the girl could only leave with Rhodes, although she didn't know what her head wanted to do. But for Anne, trusting him unconditionally is already a habit of her own.

"It's weird."

After leaving the ruins and walking for a while, Rhodes stopped and muttered to himself in confusion.

"Diamond mercenary group? I've never heard the name of this mercenary group······ Anne, have you heard of it? ”

Anne wasn't impressed......... Yes!

In the middle of speaking, the girl seemed to remember something, and clapped her palms vigorously.

"Anne remembered, it seems that there is indeed such a mercenary group, Anne remembers that it was a few years ago, they used to come to Anne's mercenary group to talk about things, although Anne doesn't know what the matter is, but the mercenary group, it seems to be called that."

"Oh?"

Hearing Anne's answer, Rod's eyes lit up.

"Do you know where they came from?"

"Uh-huh..............."

This time, in the face of Rod's inquiry, Anne did not answer immediately, she frowned in distress, and after thinking for a long time, she hesitated to give an answer.

"I don't remember this clearly, I just know that they seem to come from a very strange place, and the name there is very tongue-twisting, and I can't pronounce it anyway... It seems like something is coming..."

"Lelekhara?"

"Yes, yes, it seems to be this Lailai...... Oops, biting my tongue. ”

Anne held her mouth with a bitter face, looking quite pitiful.

But now Rod was in no mood to comfort her, because after hearing Anne's answer, Rode's heart sank.

That's not a good place.

It is known that in the Duchy of Moon, there are five districts. The three regions, including Parfield, are inclined to the royal party, they believe that without the royal family, there would be no current glory of the Duchy of Moon, and they believe that the country of light is the biggest threat to the Duchy of Moon, such as the Shania family of Marlene's family is a representative of this category, they are very disgusted and even hostile to the country of light, because the friction between the two sides for hundreds of years has led to the escalation of this hatred, and now it has escalated into a belief.

On the other hand, the other two regions are supporters of the parliamentary faction, they believe that the Duchy of Moon should not be opposed to the Land of Light, in any case, the two sides are of the same origin, and the Duchy of Moon is still a country that supports the Dragon of Light, such hostility is irrational, they should lower their profile and make certain compromises, and they also think that the Duchy of Moon should not be against the Land of Light everywhere, they should learn to follow the advice of the State of Light, so as to ease the relationship between the two countries... … Just like Clinton in Deeprock, they don't see the Land of Light as a threat, but as a future friend. They believe that the root cause of the hostility between the two sides is not the Nation of Light, but that our Duchy of Moon itself has done wrong, and if we were willing to repent, then the situation will not develop to the point where it is now. …,

Of course, between these two factions has always been Mars hitting the earth, the royal party thinks that the parliamentary faction is a traitor to the country, while the parliamentary faction thinks that the royal party is stubborn and can't see the current problems clearly because of past hatred...... As a result, the relationship between the two sides has always been incompatible, not only at the political level, but also at the level of business and even the people, and even at the level of mercenary groups.

And if Anne's recollection is correct, then this mercenary group is from the region of the parliamentary faction.

What are they doing here?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but be a little puzzled. You must know that because of the different philosophies of the two sides, they are generally reluctant to go to each other's territory. After all, from their standpoint, this is a group of traitors, so even if they encounter something here, even if they are inexplicably wiped out, there is nowhere to reason. The other side may protest, but Parfield will never take the other side's protest seriously, because the two represent two political forces with completely different interests, and any subservience under such a collision will not bring him a wonderful result.

Lelekara is a die-hard area of the Parliamentarians, and at one point even claimed to be independent from the Duchy of Moon and become the region of the Land of Light. But it was all thunder and rain, and no one dared to say it to his face after Lydia had sent her army around there several times, and paraded the idiots clamoring for independence from behind their horsetails.

So the people there don't have much affection for the power center of the Duchy of Moon, and now, they actually came to Parfield?

There must be something odd about things.

Thinking of this, Rhodes made a decision. Originally, he had only planned to flash with the Orb of Mysteries, but now it seemed that he needed to figure out what the other party wanted to do in Parfield. You must know that before Lu Dao, he had managed to get rid of the trouble that the country of light had intervened, and now he finally enjoyed a little leisure, and naturally he didn't want to let an area that had too close contact with the country of light come to find his own trouble. Now that the entire Parfield mercenary group is under a ban, they don't have the time or energy to take care of these things, and since they have encountered it, they can't sit idly by.

"Follow me, Annie."

Then Rod gave Anne the order.
