Chapter 489: The Storm is Coming

…… Rod opened his eyes violently and sat upβ€”

The morning sun is not dazzling, and the soft light spills into the room through the window, bringing a little warmth.

It's a dream.........

Rod let out a long sigh, and then he looked to his sideβ€”β€”β€”β€” where Christie was still asleep, and the sweet smile on her face showed that the girl must have had a very good dream. Looking at Christie's sleeping face, Rod couldn't help but show a smile, he reached out, gently stroked Christie's hair, and then gently picked up Christie's arm around his body and put it beside him, and then got up and got out of bed.

The body is still a little weak and tired, which is really unaccustomed to Rod, since coming to this world, Rod's has not maintained such a long period of weakness, which makes him a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, every day when he wakes up, Rod's body can feel that his body is slowly recovering, as long as he is given another two or three days, then he can completely change back to the previous Rod.

"But............ What exactly is that dream? ”

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but whisper to himself, he raised the back of his hand, there was nothing on it, the pain that went deep into the bone marrow before seemed to be just an illusory existence, but this pain was too real, even now in retrospect, Rod could still feel that somewhere deep in his body was still faintly painful. But when he opened his status attribute panel to investigate, he found that his body did not have any abnormalities, whether it was talent, attributes, or the current state, it was the same as usual, was it really just a dream?

Rod shook his head, he couldn't figure it out, if it was just a dream, then it was too stark. To this day, Rhodes remembers the scene and ......... Who is that girl who looks like herself and Christie?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning. He always felt that things were not so simple, but now, he didn't have a good way to find answers. After all, the things in the dream are illusory and unreal, although it is not without players in the game who have encountered the adventure of entering the dream plane, but Rhodes always feels that this time seems to be very different from these, but what the specific difference is, he can't say for a while.

"Knock knock."

And at this very time. A slight knock on the door pulled Rhodes back from his musings, and when he heard the knock, Rhodes straightened his clothes before answering.

"Come in."

Soon, the door opened, and Agamell stood in the doorway as calmly and indifferently as she had always been, and she bowed slightly to Rhodes. Then he spoke.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest so early, but just ten minutes ago, Mr. Walker arrived at the fortress. He said that he had important information to report to you, and that he was waiting in the study at the moment, would you like to ............?"

"I'll go right away!"

Before he could finish listening to Agamewe's words, Rhodes nodded immediately, and after he returned, Rhodes had already ordered old Walker to send someone to collect all the intelligence information about the current situation, and now he must have found something, otherwise, the old drunkard would not have come to report to him so early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Rhodes didn't think about anything else. He quickly finished changing his clothes, then instructed Agameve to prepare breakfast for Christie, and then hurried out of the room and went to the studyβ€”β€”β€” where Rhodes saw the old Walker, who looked solemn, and the old mercenary held a thin piece of paper in his hand. The frown was furrowed, which was a rarity for old Walker. …,

"I heard Agameve say you're in a hurry?"

Seeing Old Walker, Rhodes was not polite, he went straight into the study, sat opposite Old Walker, and then looked at him. Hearing Rod's words, the old mercenary raised his head and rolled his eyes at Rod. He was still the same, dressed in dirty leather armor, and the silver wine jug in his hand that never left his hand was now in Old Walker's hand, and judging from the reddish expression on Old Walker's face, the old man had obviously been drinking since early in the morning.

"That's not nonsense, boy, if I hadn't found out about the trouble, how would I have come to you so early? I don't want to be hated by the woman lying on your bed, don't look at me so old, I still have a lot of consideration for young people, of course, it's not because I'm jealous that I deliberately treat you. ”

"Well, I know you're still getting stronger. Don't be so excited, then again, it's still good for you to drink less. ”

In the face of old Walker's depression, Rod pouted, although technically he did have a cute little bed partner on his bed, but this is this, that is that. He took the paper from Old Walker's hand, and quickly began to review the intelligence information on it.

"So, what is it?"

"This is the information I got in the middle of the night last night, haven't you always wanted to know what the hell is going on in the Land of Light recently? I can tell you right now, according to the news from the Land of Light, just one day ago, they sent two envoys to the Duchy of Moon, and no one knows what they were doing here. ”

"Two?"

Seeing this, Rod couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"That's right, one of the envoys went to the Golden City, and the other went to the Southern Harbor, and I was trying to send someone to inquire about what the two envoys were doing in Moon, but none of them got any reliable information, and the only news I got was that the one that went to the Golden City only appeared in the official name of the Council of Light. And the one that went to the southern seaport seemed to be a consortium of some kind of thing......... You know, I'm old, and I don't know that much about these tongue twisters. As for the rest, then I don't know, anyway, it's definitely not going to be a good thing. Hmph, those hypocritical liars of the Land of Light, I don't think they look like good things, and this time I came to Moon, maybe I want to make trouble. ”

"Coming to Moon in the name of the Council of Light?"

Hearing this, Rod's face sank slightly, it seems that the Council of Light is looking for trouble, no wonder, after all, the Solagang Mountain has led such a big matter, and the Council of Light has to find the Duchy of Moon to confirm it anyway. However, in this way, at least the Council of Light wants to use the Sola Gang Mountain Territory to play the possibility of starting a war with the Night Nation......... Wait, are these guys going to ............

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Isn't this a better chance than the Sola Gang Mountain Collar? Although Rhodes was only concerned about running away at that time and didn't pay attention to his surroundings, he thought that in that case, there would definitely be no fewer dead and wounded in the Solagang Mountain Territory. If the Council of Light insists on putting this on the hands of the Night Nation and uses the issue to create tension, then at least they can take the moral high ground. It's just that this is not beneficial to the Council of Light, after all, they have targeted the Soragon Mountain Territory before, and a large part of it still covets the crystal deposits there. But the current Solagang Mountain Territory is no longer suitable for human habitation, and as for mining or something, then not to mention. Under such circumstances, would the Council of Light play with fire for the sake of such a nominal "justice"? After all, if there is no entanglement of interests in the Soragon Mountains, then once there is a real fight, then it is more likely that the Night Country bypasses Moon and directly attacks the Land of Light. Before, the Land of Light caught the Soragon Mountain Leader Council to play with fire, and it looked like Moon was on top even if something went wrong, but now if Moon doesn't top, will they still do it? …,

It's unlikely, although Rhodes can't guarantee that there will be none, but if there is no benefit to speak of, they won't do it.

But what does the Land of Light want to do when it sends two envoys at the same time? Southern Harbor, this place Rhodes didn't bother to think further when he heard the name. But for now, he still had to gather his energy and think carefully about the problem at hand.

Then, a very bad idea appeared in Rod's mind.

That's what the Council of Light is aiming for.

In the game, although the Council of Light is the most ruthless to play with fire, but in the final analysis, they still hope to use the controversy of the Soragon Mountain Territory to provoke trouble, and in the end, their goal is to weaken Moon, but this group of people played away, they originally only hoped for a local war between the Night Country and the Principality of Moon, but they didn't expect the other party to go for a full-scale war from the beginning. Originally, the Land of Light planned to annex the Soragon Mountain Territory and let the Duchy of Moon block it, and then take the opportunity to weaken Moon's strength, and finally completely integrate Moon into the territory of the Land of Light. In this way, the Council of Light's goal was Moon from the beginning, and whether it was to provoke a dispute with the Night Nation, their ultimate goal was Moon.

So this time, the intention of sending an envoy delegation is also self-evident. What if they weren't here to ask Moon for an explanation, but to hold Moon accountable for the unfavorable surveillance?

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but squeeze the thin piece of paper hard.

Although this was just his conjecture, from the information that Archduke Lydia actually didn't even care about the Demon Duke sitting in Golden City, the information he got before contacting, the unusual movements of the southern nobles, and the Council of Light sent two envoys to Moon, but went to their respective destinations, Rhodes felt that this guess should be true.

The Duchy of Moon is likely to face a civil war. RS
