"Honorable lord, I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding here.........

Standing in the bright and dazzling living room, Anke made a bitter face and explained to the expressionless Rod in front of him. Although it was not the first time that the priest had heard rumors of Rhodes' cruelty and brutality in Casablanca, he could only appreciate what a terrible thing it was if he saw it with his own eyes. After that, Rhodes ordered Sonia to be imprisoned in the dungeon, along with the knights of the Land of Light beside her. However, he was quite polite to Anke, the members of the church, originally Anke thought that he and the others would also be arrested and imprisoned by this crazy and terrible-looking lord without saying a word, but he didn't expect that Rhodes showed the proper treatment as a local lord and nobleman when facing them, and politely welcomed them into the castle, if the two sides didn't have the previous misunderstanding, then all this was still on the normal track. But after witnessing Rod's previous merciless act of throwing Sonia and the Knight of the Nation of Light into prison, the lord's "double standard" really frightened Anko.

As a priest, Anke has also been to many places, and he knows that because of the strong and coercive attitude of the country of light itself, in many places in the continent of light, the evaluation of the country of light is not good. Although the people within the Land of Light are mostly indoctrinated that they are the most powerful and important nation in the Land of Light. The people of this continent were able to live a peaceful, serene and free life because of their presence. And without their presence, the continent would be in the shadows of chaos and darkness. So they are blind and arrogant, and they have a kind of superiority and arrogance towards people everywhere else, which is like that of a savior. And in the face of this arrogance of the Nation of Light, most places have no way to fight it. Some places chose to swallow their anger, while others showed favor on the surface and scolded behind their backs. While some give in completely. But no matter where they were, no one dared to rise up against the Kingdom of Light, not that they were afraid of what happened to the Council of Light, but that was the Dragon Soul of Light. If they fight against the Nation of Light, then the Council of Light will have a big hat buttoned down. Leave them helpless. In any case, the principality territories on the Continent of Light are basically all under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, what else can they say?

The arrogance of the Nation of Light has penetrated into their bones, and they only regard their country as the only country on this continent with the most developed, most brilliant, most beautiful, freest, most powerful, and most glorious. The richest countries, with the exception of the Land of Light, are either barbaric or barren, and the people living there are still living under cruel dictatorships. And since they are the most ...... on this continent The people of the nation (repeated hereinafter) are naturally responsible for guiding the foolish. And those savages who are ignorant, stupid and ignorant, who do not understand anything, naturally have to accept their own teachings. If they dare not accept it............... Then you have to let them understand it yourself. For what they "must" accept their own "help". Because this is the only way to turn them from "them" to "them".

In the eyes of the people of the Land of Light, people in other places are just a bunch of uncivilized. Barbarians who don't even know how to wear clothes. There are even some radical people of the Nation of Light who believe that only the people of the Nation of Light are worthy of being called representatives of humanity, as for the others? Hahaha, they're just half-savages who haven't fully evolved yet. So Anko didn't feel strange at all when he saw those knights driving away the inhabitants in front of him, in fact, these knights were already very "polite", at least they were afraid of their status as an envoy and only stimulated them with their own momentum, and did not directly whip them. Perhaps in the eyes of the envoys of the Land of Light. It's very, very polite, and very, very good face for these barbarians. And if it were a different place, he would only dare to be angry with these knights, after all, Sonia was right, this was the official diplomatic mission of the Land of Light. In any case, once it rises to the stage of conflict, it is a dispute between two countries, and ordinary lords are not guilty of causing trouble for such a trivial matter.

But the lord did just that, there was no hatred, no anger, no worry in his eyes when he looked at the people of the Land of Light, there was just a kind of coldness and disdain as if he was looking at rats and bugs, which surprised Anke secretly, he had never seen anyone look at the people of the Land of Light with such eyes. After all, the arrogance of the Land of Light is not a matter of decades, but of hundreds of years. When people in other places see the people of the Land of Light, they have long been accustomed to subconsciously being inferior first, just like commoners see noble lords. But all this is not visible in this young man. On the contrary, although Rod's eyes and expression were very plain and calm, without the slightest arrogant attitude. But I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but Anke feels like a beggar who has trespassed into the house of a rich nobleman without permission, and has been spotted by his master, flustered and at a loss.

“……… I know that their actions are very rude, but your honorable lord, we are here after all as an envoy on behalf of the Nation of Light, and you ............... do this."

Saying this, Anke hesitated for a moment and organized his words in his heart. In front of others, he could have pointed out that this would have made the relationship between Moon and the Land of Light even worse, and could even lead to war. But this kind of rhetoric is too threatening, and the lord in front of him obviously does not accept this set. However, as a priest who eats by mouth, Anke still has this ability, he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

“……… If you can, you can give them a chance, I guess......... They should have understood their mistake............"

"The Land of Light hasn't changed for hundreds of years, I don't think it's going to be so quick to make this group of idiots with their eyes above the top change their minds, Priest Anke."

Rod's expression was calm, but what he said made Anke smile bitterly, if there were people from the Land of Light here, I am afraid that he would have to jump up and duel with Rhodes based on this sentence alone, but Anko was sure that if any idiot really dared to do this, Rhodes would be happy to kill him.

"I see what you mean. Honorable lordship, but I am here on behalf of the Church to conduct third-party monitoring......... The Council of Light's legations did go too far, but ......... You are also well aware that now in the shadow of the war in the Night Nation, the atmosphere in the entire Continent of Light is tense. Although this was their fault in the first place, after all, there was no death, and there were no irreparable consequences........."

Anke carefully organized the wording, and at the same time scolded the group of old immortals in the Council of Light from old to small in his heart, these shameless bastards, you want me to accompany me here to admit your mistakes with a smile, do you really think the church is easy to bully?! Thinking of this, Anke had already gritted his teeth and secretly vowed to make the most "fair" review on behalf of the church this time. Never "take sides".

After listening to Anke's words, Rod waved his hand unchanged, he thought about it for a moment, then raised his head and said to Anke.

"I can understand your position, Priest Anco, in fact I have always worked well with the Church, and I still have faith in your assurances. But. Capital sins can be avoided, but living sins cannot be escaped. These people must be held in a dungeon for at least fifteen days. If they're okay in prison, then I'll let them out. But if they dare to challenge my authority........."

Saying this, Rod's eyes turned cold.

"Then I'm sorry, Priest Anko."

"Yes, of course, of course. I can understand that. ”

Hearing Rod's words, Anke nodded hurriedly, what are you kidding, it's already good that he can get this level of leniency, what can he say? Not to mention standing on Anke's own standpoint. He is a calamity that is unjustified, and he and his church knights are completely affected by the pond fish. Why is it that the intercede with a smiling face here has become himself now? Damn, it's not us who make the mistake! As for Rod's opinion, Anke has no objection. It's better to make those arrogant and stupid idiots suffer. But...............

"So, Miss Sonya, she ..............."

"There are no exceptions under my men, Priest Anko, and she will be punished as well. But don't worry, I'll lock her up in a private room. ”

“…………………”

Hearing Rod's answer, Anke sighed helplessly, those idiot knights in the country of light can be counted like this, but this young lady can't do it, the Locktos consortium has great power in the country of light, this young lady is still an important person in the consortium at the moment, once something happens, even if he is a church person, I am afraid he will be implicated.

"That......... How's that? My lord, as an Overseer, I must report to the upper echelons of the city what is happening here. So, I take the liberty of asking that I be allowed to meet with Miss Sonia at least once a day to confirm her condition, and I think you may not know that Miss Sonia's Locktos Consortium is very powerful in the Land of Light, and if something goes wrong with this young lady........."

"I understand, I can agree to your request, Priest Anke."

This time, Rod showed an unusually "empathetic" attitude, and Anke had no way to say anything more about it, he could only cater to a few words in embarrassment, and then turn away. After all, for this priest, today is really a little unlucky, and he also hopes to find a place to rest quietly, and then think about what to do next.

For Priest Anko, the day's misfortune seemed to be over, but for Rod, it was just the beginning.

The icy dungeon was as cold as ever, and Rhodes pushed open the heavy cell door, and soon felt angry eyes coming at him. He looked up in the direction of his gaze and saw Sonia standing by the wall, staring at him coldly. Ever since he ordered Sonia and one of her knights to be taken into the dungeon, the eldest lady had been looking at her with such anger and hatred. It's as if he is her father's killer, but Rhodes doesn't mind this, it's just a woman, even if he really kills the other party's father, he won't care.

"I want you to give an explanation for what you've done, Mr. Rhodes."

Sonia said coldly, her fists clenched and her eyes glowing with anger.

"Do you know what the consequences of detaining the visiting envoy of the Land of Light without permission will be? Do you want to start a war between the Land of Light and Moon with your own selfishness? I'm the third executive of the Locktos Consortium and the second member of the Council of Light! Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?! ”

"No more excuses, Miss Sonia."

Hear Sonia speak. Rod glanced at her.

"It's not a matter of a day or two for the Land of Light to want to fight Moon, if they really have a kind of fight that hasn't come sooner? But I also know that the group of garbage in the Council of Light is just shouting joy, if they really have this mind, they still need such a clumsy reason? If you want to go to war, I'm welcome to do it, but ............ With your current situation, do you have the courage to go to war with Moon? ”

"You're ..................!!"

Hearing Rod's taunt, Sonya's face changed slightly. The eldest lady opened her mouth, but she couldn't say half a sentence——— the truth is just like what Rhodes said, the country of light is not like Moon, they didn't block the attack of the undead army at the beginning, and they were defeated all the way, and it was only with the help of the two archangels that they finally stabilized the defense line. The army of the Kingdom of Light is in a mess at this time, and they can't even take care of themselves, if the Council of Light really decides to start a war against Moon now, I'm afraid the military department will not agree to it first.

"It seems that you have not fully understood your status. Miss Sonia. ”

Looking at Sonya, who was blue in front of him, but still staring at him stubbornly, Rod snorted coldly, he slowly walked in front of Sonia, and perceiving Rode's movements, the girl tensed up, and just when Rod was about to come to her, Sonia shouted angrily. His right hand suddenly drew a short sword from his waist and stabbed at Rhodes quickly.

I have to say. This eldest lady seems to be quite good, judging from her posture, Sonia has obviously learned swordsmanship, and she has achieved a little success, and it should be around level thirty when converted into level strength. For someone who doesn't know swordsmanship, I'm afraid that he has been completely subdued by Sonia at this time. But Rod was obviously not among them, he just put his hands behind his back and looked at Sonya in front of him coldly. And at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed from the side, and the cold daggers quickly staggered. The blow slammed into Sonya's dagger, and soon the eldest lady screamed, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground. Then, Leo sped out of the shadows, and she reached out, quickly stopping the girl's next move, and then pinned Sonia to the ground. Although Sonia struggled hard, trying to break free from Leo's restraints, as a dark elf specializing in assassination, Leo was much more professional than Sonia in doing this.

"What you're doing is what will cause war, Miss Sonia."

Rhodes glanced at the dagger that had fallen at his feet, and from the pitch-black blade he could see a strange glow, which was smeared with poison. I really didn't expect that this eldest lady's preparation was really leaky.

“…………………”

Sonya, who failed in one blow, gritted her teeth and glared at Rod in front of her.

"You can kill me, but I'm not going to stop there! I came here with no intention of going back alive, and it was you who ruined Andre, if it weren't for you........................"

"Oh he....................."

Hearing the name, Rod narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect to hear his name here, it seems that the knight is still quite popular, how is he doing? Are you alright? How's your body recovering? After the Dragon Soul Sacred Canon, I have been worried about his health. ”

“……………… Hum! ”

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Sonia snorted coldly, scratched her head and said no more. At this time, Leo grabbed her neck hard, and then the dark elf looked up and looked at Rhodes.

"Do you want me to kill her? Master? ”

"Nope."

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Rod suddenly smiled a little, he smiled and waved his hand, and then Rod came to Sonya, who had been crushed to the ground, stretched out his toes, lifted her chin, and forced the eldest lady to look at him. Then, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"That's what I was going to do, but now......... I changed my mind. ”

"Are you planning to turn her into your slave? Master? ”

Hearing Rod's answer, Leo asked with some curiosity, as a dark elf, she was no stranger to this. And as one of them, Leo naturally has a lot of experience in how to make slaves, after hearing Rod's words, Leo's first reaction is to think that Rhodes intends to carry out a soul sacrifice contract like he did to himself before, and turn the human girl in front of him into his own slave. But in the face of Leo's inquiry, Rod shook his head, he narrowed his eyes, and looked coldly at Sonia in front of him.

"No, Leo, I just think it's time to get a pet." (To be continued......)
