"What are you! Dare to meddle with us! ”

As soon as these words came out, Rod didn't react, but Mace on the side almost fell to his knees with weak legs.

What a mighty and domineering thing this is!

How powerful Rod is, he can't say one, two, three, four, but at least in the eyes of the fat businessman, this young man's strength compared to these two bullying little rabbit cubs must be heaven and earth, and it may be a matter of minutes to kill them, although this is still in the town, it is impossible to kill people, but with Rod's identity, it is really not a big deal to provoke him, and killing a few people is really not a big deal.

Although the laws on the Dragon Soul Continent are very strict, the class is also strict, if a commoner or a slave kills someone, it must be a capital crime, but if it is the children of those nobles, unless it is a third-rate nouveau riche or an inferior nobleman, no one will care if he kills someone.

Whether Rod is a good talker, Mace actually doesn't know, because he doesn't laugh at all on weekdays, he always has a calm and unfazed expression, but what he says always makes people go up and down, you say he's joking, he may be threatening you, you say he's threatening you, he may be joking. Generally speaking, a young man who is just in his early twenties, even if he can be somewhat calm and steady, but his personality is always relatively outgoing, but this young man is always silent, and you can never figure out what he is thinking. In fact, after looking at people for so many years, he can't see what this young man is thinking, but he can be sure that this young man is definitely not the kind of person who can hold back being scolded in front of him.

But to Mace's surprise, Rod didn't get angry, he just glanced at the two of them, and then turned his head to look at Mace.

"Mr. Mace, get ready, it's time for us to go."

"Okay, Lord Rhodes, I'll go and prepare it immediately!"

Mace was so happy in his heart, although he didn't see this young man wielding a long sword and killing him, but seeing him throw these two idiots aside like ignoring two bugs, his heart turned upside down. He immediately answered loudly, and then waved his hand at the coachman in the carriage.

"Alright, get ready, we're leaving!"

"Wait."

And at that moment, the young man, who had not spoken, spoke.

"This carriage, we want it."

"We've paid, you ............"

Mace tried to argue out loud, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Rod.

"Mr. Mace, it's getting late."

"Yes, Lord Rod, I'll get ready right away."

Rhodes is not willing to waste time on this kind of boring verbal battle, you must know that the mouth cannon in the online game is called a variety, and it will account for three points if you ignore it, what kind of rumors, slander, and deduct words, reverse right and white, distort and exaggerate the flow of facts, it is too much, and you really want to get entangled in this kind of boring thing, and the time wasted is all your own. Even the team can shout for an hour or two when they enter the dungeon to brush up on the unfair distribution of weapons, in addition to wasting time in addition to making themselves sick alive, and they can't get any benefits, this kind of thing Rod is too lazy to do. After all, as the president of the first major guild, he has encountered such things many times, and if he really responds to them one by one, it would be an idiot. So he has always ignored this kind of meaningless mouth cannon.

But Rod's actions seemed to be a sign of cowardice and fear in the eyes of the three people, although he didn't know what the relationship between this young man and the dead fat man was, but seeing that they were in a hurry to leave, he naturally couldn't let them go. So the leader of the other party turned pale again, and then took out a bag of coins from his bosom and threw it over.

"It's fifty gold coins, I'm going to make this carriage!"

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

Hearing the other party's words, the coachman looked embarrassed, fifty gold coins is not a decimal, if he can really get these money, it will definitely be a fortune. But the problem is that I have negotiated with the other party before and have taken the deposit, and these small town residents are honest in nature, so they will not regret taking the money. But he is not stupid, he can see at a glance that these three people are definitely not easy to mess with, if there is a sentence that is not right, if someone beats him............

"Hey, what are you doing! Hurry up and get ready to go. ”…,

However, Mace immediately raised his eyebrows after Rhodes came, and pulled the carriage to leave.

Seeing this scene, the two guards were cold.

"Stand for me!"

As soon as the words fell, the two raised their long swords and attacked Mace.

However, they did not succeed.

“———！！”

A crisp chirp suddenly appeared.

Accompanied by the fierce wind rising from the ground, the turquoise spirit bird spread its wings and whistled towards the two guards, and in the face of this sudden strange bird, the two guards also changed their complexions, they wanted to retract the momentum, but the speed of the soul bird was faster than them, and the wings flashed suddenly, and the whistling wind immediately hit the two of them heavily, knocking them out of the air.

"Elemental elves?"

Looking at the soul bird standing on Rod's shoulder, staring at the enemy, the man's face changed.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a tricky enemy.

The other party is a mage?

After thinking about it, the man felt that something was wrong, he had not seen the monsters summoned by the mage, and they were all summoned by chanting incantations. But Rhodes in front of him is just a noble kid in terms of dress, and he doesn't look like a mage. Not to mention that he didn't chant at all——— in fact, even the man himself didn't see how Rhodes summoned the bird.

This man may not be small.

Thinking of this, the man was a little reluctant, he just accompanied the eldest lady in the family to come to this deep mountain and wild forest to play, but he didn't want to provoke any terrible characters. He is just a small captain of the guard, and protecting the safety of the eldest lady is the first thing, if the eldest lady is injured because of someone provoked, it is his own side that provokes it first, no matter what fate the other party will have, he himself is doomed anyway.

Thinking of this, the originally solemn expression on this man's face couldn't help but melt a little. He waved his hand and motioned for the two attendants to stand down.

"Sorry to disturb you both."

Walking forward, the man's tone was much more respectful.

"I apologize to the two Dao Lu for the rudeness of my men, they ...... The character is a little too reckless, and he collided with the two, and I hope the two of them don't take it seriously. ”

"It's not a big deal."

Rhodes replied, not wanting to pay any more attention, but turned and gestured to Mace to leave with the carriage. Seeing this scene, the man was very anxious, knowing that the eldest lady secretly ran out to play while her parents were not there, if he couldn't go back to the city before they came back, once he came back and found that the eldest lady was not there, he would definitely be angry. And if the eldest lady is scolded, she must blame herself......... I thought that there was no trouble in this kind of rural place, but I didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear.........

Thinking of this, the man had to take a few more steps forward and speak hard.

"Two, two, please wait, I have one more thing I want to ask you to help with."

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the guy who was still raising his eyes above his head just now, now he is so low, Mace is really secretly refreshed, if he really has his back against the big tree to enjoy the shade, no wonder the presidents of those big chambers of commerce have several strong people behind their backs, this is what they want......... Instinctively, I wanted to open my mouth and hurt him a few more words. But looking at the silent Rhodes next to him, he still dispelled this idleness. Judging from Rod's performance just now, he knew that this gentleman didn't care about such a trivial matter, and if he was forced to pull him again, I was afraid that it would only make Rod's heart unhappy, so he didn't say anything more, and asked directly.

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

The man glanced at the carriage, thought about it again, and finally spoke up.

"That's right, if you don't mind, we'd like to be able to walk with both of you."

Peer?

Mace and Rod couldn't help but glance at each other.

"Yes, depending on the destination of the two, it should also be Deep Rock City, we also have important things, so we hope to be able to go back as soon as possible, so we impulsively made a move and offended the two. But......... Our business is really urgent, so ............"

This time, the man didn't come up with any money, he already knew the identity of the fat man just now, he was the president of a chamber of commerce, which was not a big deal, after all, it was just a small chamber of commerce, and it was still not eye-catching in front of the nobles. …,

But this young man is different, according to reason, the strength of the average young nobleman cannot be too high, but this young man put it on the two guards with one move, although these two guards are not strong, but compared to the ordinary noble children, they can be regarded as good, and they can be put so easily, and they are used in such a strange way......... Who knows what his background is?

And looking at the president of the Chamber of Commerce's respectful appearance towards him, the relationship between the top and bottom is so obvious, maybe he is a member of a big family, this kind of person, it is best not to provoke it, fortunately, looking at the other party's appearance, it seems that he does not have his previous rude behavior to heart, if he meets that kind of person with a small belly, this trouble may be really big.

"However, our carriage can only seat four people............ And we have a companion. ”

Mace frowned, in his heart, he didn't want to bring these guys, it was unpleasant to see their appearance just now, but Rod didn't say it, and he couldn't refuse categorically. Although it is said that this carriage was rented at Mace's expense, but considering that he wants to have a good relationship with Rhodes, he doesn't mind letting Rhodes call the shots. And from the bottom of his heart, as a businessman who is kind and wealthy, Mace doesn't want to reject the other party directly, after all, they look like they are also a nobleman, and he was much more cool with a bad breath just now, and now it will be boring if he comes out again.

"It doesn't matter, we only have one of us to ride in the carriage, and the rest is just to ride the horse."

Hearing that the other party's tone was loose, the man was also overjoyed, the reason why he wanted to rent a carriage was for the eldest lady, if it weren't for her, it would be faster to ride back to the city.

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

Mace stopped answering, and he turned his gaze to Rhodes, and now it was time for him to decide.

But Rhodes was clearly not interested in such a thing.

With someone in hand, as long as he doesn't cause trouble, he still won't care, so he just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

"Well, in fifteen minutes, at the gate of the town, if you don't come, it won't be my business."

Since Rod didn't plan to care, Mace didn't have much to say, so he could only respond stupidly.

"Rest assured, we'll be there."

Fifteen minutes wasn't a long time, but it was Lijie who came first.

"Ah, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Mace!"

With a duffel bag in her arms, Lijie ran towards them with a brisk smile.

Lijie's voice is very light, perhaps because of the nature of a girl, even if she just stands quietly in front of you, it will give people a very lively and cheerful feeling, and her way of speaking is also in line with the impression left on others. Rod didn't hate the girl, in fact, he knew that in the team, sometimes this kind of pistachio that can set the mood is essential. As a former leader of a player's guild, Rhodes naturally understands how important it is to have a team with a good atmosphere. What's more, in a way, there is actually no difference between what mercenaries and players do, taking on quests, adventuring, searching, and fighting. It takes a lot of time and energy, and under the pressure of this time accumulation and fighting, if there is no good adjustment port, there may be internal problems. Looking at the blonde girl in front of him, Rod couldn't help but think of a female mage named "Canary" in his team before, she not only has first-class skills, but also lives up to her name, just like a canary who keeps talking about it all the time, often telling jokes or things around her to everyone, and the way she speaks is very exaggerated, and many ordinary little things will be laughed at by everyone when she says it. At that time, everyone was opening up the cemetery of the dead, and the pressure was very high, and every time at this time, Rod would induce him to ask this cute little mage if there was anything interesting recently, and as long as she said one or two things, everyone laughed, and the original pressure would disappear quickly, and then they would cheer up and continue to open up the wasteland. At that time, many teams with higher levels and better equipment than them eventually collapsed because of the long time and difficulty of clearing the wasteland, and after all, online games are just games and not life, many people are also under pressure in reality, and of course they don't want to suffer in the game. At that time, there were many people in Rhodes' team who had such and such problems, but they did not stay away from the game because of this, on the contrary, they would go online on time every day, in order to listen to this cute little mage say some witty words, relax, and relax, you can feel that your burden has been dissipated a lot, and it is in this state. Eventually, they seized control of the cemetery of the dead. Although the little mage herself is not the best in the team, on another level, she is also an indispensable figure in the team. …,

Of course, although the girl in front of her also gives people a lively feeling, she doesn't talk much, she is very measured, and she is not easy to move, but as long as she sees the smile on her face, she will involuntarily make people feel relaxed.

"I'm ready, shall we hit the road right away?"

"We'll have to wait a little longer, and there will be people who will walk with us along the way."

"By the way?"

Lijie tilted her head curiously, and her golden ponytail swayed with it, but she didn't ask much, but reached out and took out a black cloak from her pocket.

"That...... Mr. Rhodes? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Please accept this."

As she spoke, a slight flush appeared on Lijie's white and delicate face, and then she lowered her head and handed the cloak out.

"It's ........."

Looking at the cloak in front of him, Rod was stunned.

"That's right...... The wind is strong in the mountains, and the night is cold, and your wounds have not healed, in case you catch a cold......... There is a high chance that you will get sick, which is very bad for your health. So......... I bought a cloak to keep out the cold, it's made of mountain deer skin, it's breathable, and it's very comfortable, please take it........."

Lijie lowered her head, unable to see her expression clearly, but Rod still noticed a slight tremor in the girl's voice, but he didn't say anything, but reached out and took the cloak.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"Where, this is what I should do."

Li Jie, who raised her head, showed a relieved smile, and her bright and dazzling expression made the fat businessman next to her stunned——— he had been in contact with the girl longer than Rod, and he had never seen her show this kind of expression, but ............

The fat merchant's eyes rolled, and he looked at Lijie and then at Rod with deep meaning.

Looks like it's a good thing, right?

And just when the fat businessman was about to watch a few more good shows, a crisp and sharp voice suddenly sounded.

"Who's that bastard who robbed Miss Ben's carriage!?"
