Chapter 546: The Man (V)

The noisy square suddenly fell silent, and when Emily heard this voice, she seemed to have found an instant to rely on, she turned around, and happened to see "Miss Ceren" coming out of the crowd, she was still the same haughty and graceful appearance, and not far behind her, the two maids also followed her. Everything seems to be no different from usual, but ............... I don't know what the road is about, Emily always feels that something is wrong.

The "Miss Syren" in front of her feels different from any other time.

When they first met, Emily only felt that this "Miss Syren" was very knowledgeable and very talkative, giving people a very close feeling, even she couldn't help but want to listen to what she had to say. Of course, this level of speech is a must for any businessman, otherwise the customer will not even be able to listen to what you want to say, so how can he do business with you?

At that time, this "Miss Syren" was always surrounded by a reassuring and warm atmosphere, and people couldn't help but stay by her side. After that, when talking to her father outside the mines, the young lady changed the impression she had given Emily of gentleness, good talk. He is very cunning, tough, and aggressive. It was only at this time that Emily discovered the pride and confidence of "Miss Syren" from the people of the Land of Light. And when she fled in the ruins, she felt an unprecedented sense of security from the other party, as long as she was by her side, no matter what kind of predicament she faced, she would not feel hesitant and distressed, as long as everything was handed over to her, then there would be no problems.

But now, what Emily feels from "Miss Ceren" is not the gentle, reassuring feeling, nor the cunning, aggressive strength and confidence. How so............... She felt dangerous.

It was a feeling that words could not accurately describe, and the moment "Miss Syren" appeared from the crowd, Emily felt as if the solid ground under her feet had become a lake condensed by solid ice, and at this moment, under her feet, cracks were stretching and spreading on the ice, as if she only needed to move, the fragile fulcrum under her feet would immediately collapse, and then she would fall into the cold and biting water, and then be completely swallowed, and she would not even have a chance to struggle.

"Miss Syren's" steps were not fast, even very slow, but Emily seemed to be able to see that with her step by step, those invisible "ice" also began to spread rapidly forward, and soon enveloped the entire square, it was supposed to be a sultry night, at this moment Emily even felt cold, a piercing chill almost down the spinal cord like lightning straight up, so that she couldn't help but shiver. For a moment, she even wanted to go back to the business association to put on the fur she had pressed deep into the bottom of the box and drink a warm cup of black tea to dispel the painful chill.

Not only Emily felt this way, but everyone else felt the same, and even the members of the Howard Business Association on the other side had stopped cursing at the moment, and they just stared at the "woman" in front of them. At the same time, his face was pale, and his chest was rising and falling violently. Unlike Emily, who was "affected by the pond fish", they felt a more violent coercion, like a blizzard in the Northland, sweeping them through, and they could even feel the snow piling up under their feet, and their bodies were frozen by the howling cold, and they couldn't move even a millimeter at all.

"As a businessman, you don't have to deal with empty words, folks. No matter how much you give your customers a splash, you must at least have a value that they can see, touch, and own. The white wolf with empty gloves is just a petty liar, I think, since you are so hard to promote this product, then why not let us see its true face? ”

Rhodes walked in front of the old man with elegant steps, and at this moment on his ground, the old man was already pale, short of breath, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead——— no wonder that no matter how ingenious the other party was in business, he was just an ordinary person after all. In the face of the aura released by Rod, it is natural that he can't resist it.

However, even though the old man was in such pain, Rhodes still did not have the slightest intention of relaxing, he held a folding fan in his right hand to cover the corners of his mouth, and his eyes stared coldly at the people in front of him. Although technically speaking, the Howards are supporters of the royal party, and they are also a rare royal supporter in the south, but Rhodes will not change his attitude towards them, because for Rhodes, it does not matter.

Although Marlene, Armond, and even the southern aristocratic merchants thought that this young man who had risen to prominence was a die-hard member of the royal party, in fact, Rhodes had little interest in the royal party itself. Before he crossed over to this world, he was only a player after all, and in the game, the decline of the Duchy of Moon would not have any impact on his reality. After all, Rhodes will not lose his job because of the decline of the Duchy of Moon, nor will he encounter war and exile in reality. Because of this, as a player, the first thing Rhodes should do in the game is naturally to enjoy the fun of the game itself, complete tasks, gain experience, money and prestige, play valuable and rare weapons, be at the top of the leaderboard, be invincible in the dueling arena, build his own guild, have his own territory, expand his territory, and dominate the world. This is the player's attitude, and at most it is to focus on PvP team fights and guild missions caused by the invasion of their own country's power or the preparation of an attack on a neighboring country............... As for the nonsense discussed by the politicians and aristocrats at the round table about the system, the financial budget, and even the people's livelihood rights, Rhodes didn't have the heart to care. And the reason why he chose to protect Moon in the subsequent war is even simpler, after all, the Duchy of Moon is his birthplace in the game, and Lydia gives a very rich reward, plus she herself is a very attractive and beautiful girl——— which is the main point for the player.

After the fall of Moon, Rhodes and the other players fight to the end and eventually turn things around, one to vent their anger at the destruction of their territory, and the other to avenge the cute girl. As for the rest of the royal party......... Well, I'm sorry, but that wasn't really much out of their minds at the time.

Players are a very undisciplined existence.,As long as the girl is cute enough,They don't care if the other party is righteous or evil.。 After Rhodes and his team broke into Hell in the expansion, they even took on a number of missions from a succubus queen to go to the ground to burn and kill and loot civilians, and the motivation was also because the rewards of these missions were very rare and valuable for them, and the other reason was that the succubus queen was beautiful enough......... It's really hard for that group of son-in-law mages to be able to masturbate spells against the yellow-faced woman in the later stage.

Games, after all, are just games, and in order to improve their strength, players are unscrupulous. They don't give in to their faith like the Paladin, they will do anything as long as they can take advantage of it and have enough to gain. Because for them, it is not the world they live in, and it is not their relatives there, and it is not their brothers and sisters who are related to them by blood under the butcher's knife, or their neighbors and friends who usually look up and do not look down. Their reluctance to betray the other party is not due to the condemnation of their conscience, but rather to the reduction of their prestige and the benefits they have lost, or the reduction of the NPC's favorability towards them.

They may make some righteous choices in the face of temptation in the midst of mission differences, but most of them have nothing to do with conscience, morality, or even attitude.

Although now for Rod, he has left the game and come to this real world. But in essence, Rhodes has not changed much, he doesn't care about the political ideas and beliefs of the royal party, for him, since he appeared in the Duchy of Moon, and Lydia is the only supporter who can stabilize the Duchy of Moon and give himself a peaceful and stable environment and backing, then he will naturally support her. But Rod's support was limited to Lydia herself. And it's not the royal party, and he doesn't actually have any awareness or insistence on the political environment of the Duchy of Moon. Even if one day the king and Lydia turned their faces, Rhodes would never be on the side of the king. Because through his experience in the game, Rhodes trusted Lydia herself the most, not the entire royal party.

As for the reformers............... Wherever he goes, Rhodes never thought they would give him enough trust and support, not to mention that he didn't mean to wag his tail and beg for mercy from his former subordinates.

Therefore, for the old business association president who was already pale in front of him and obviously couldn't hold on under his sword intent, instead of having the slightest sympathy, Rhodes planned to take this opportunity to make a fatal blow......... He's not here to enjoy the landscape.

"I'm Miranda. Syren, from the Land of Light Cellen Business Association, I just heard that you should be members of the Howard Business Association, since I heard you accuse me of causing chaos underground with the Edward Business Association, then I think you should have enough clear and clear evidence? ”

Saying this, Rhodes suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then his face sank.

"If you can't produce evidence, then can I see you as deliberately provoking the dignity and pride of our people in the Land of Light?!"

“…………!!”

Hearing Rod's sudden raised voice questioning, the old man opposite couldn't help but tremble, his body shook, if he hadn't grabbed the cane in his hand hard, I am afraid that the old man's rickety body would have been paralyzed to the ground at this moment.

(I really didn't expect the master to play so well.) )

At this moment, following Rhodes, Celia and Celestina, who were in charge of the "Background Role" task, also glanced at each other after hearing Rod's ascension and shouting, although they didn't open their mouths to say anything, but for summoning elves, there is not only one way to deliver messages.

(Hmph, this guy is acting, Celia, look at what the hell is moving you like this......... I think it's even more ............ when he's really angry Forget it, nothing. )

Although Celestina didn't finish speaking, Celia also understood what she meant, indeed, although Rod's expression at the moment gave people the feeling of being angry and angry, but for the summoned elves who had been following him, this was what Rhodes usually looked like, only a little more indifferent. So to them, this expression is not lethal. On the contrary, when Rod showed a bright and bright smile, the sense of danger was even more terrifying. Because at that time, he seemed to be able to do everything, and there was nothing he dared not do or could not do, it was like a nuclear bomb that had entered the countdown and could explode completely at any time - it was a fear that could not do anything but stare at the cold electronic countdown.

“…………………”

In the face of Rod's questioning, everyone in the Howard family, who was originally clamoring, couldn't help but be silent at this moment, and the arrogance and arrogance of the people of the Land of Light were well-known everywhere. Not to mention that in this south, even if they are kings, they know the horror of the Land of Light. Not to mention that the situation in the south is not good now, even ordinary people know that if they can't seek the support of the country of light, they alone can't fight with the north. Even if the Howard Business Association is a supporter of the royal party, they are born and raised Fiat after all, and if they make trouble for a businessman from the Land of Light at this time, they may be hated in the future, even if they don't care, their relatives and sons will not be able to continue to live in this land.

"I can!"

And at this moment, an angry shout sounded, and with this thunderous sound, a man strode out from the back of the Howard Business Association, he stared coldly at Rod in front of him, and there was unparalleled anger in his eyes. And not far behind him, there stood an elven girl in a mage's robe, her hands folded, and she looked quietly ahead.

It's a big life...............

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Rod couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he quickly turned his eyes and scanned the surroundings, but he didn't see the group of mercenaries who surrounded him underground before.

It seems that his clothes are not in vain.

"Excuse me, are you ...............?"

Seeing the man walking in front of him, Rhodes did not make the slightest movement, instead, he raised his chin and looked at the man in front of him with pride and disdain.

"I didn't expect you to have such a bad memory, Miss Ceren."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know your name."

“………………”

In the face of Rod's sarcasm of this pun, the man couldn't help but stagnate, and it seemed that he had not reported his name to the other party before. At that time, he didn't say his name because more things are better than less things, but now he was so provoked by the other party, which made the man's anger burning in his heart even more fierce, especially when he thought of Uncle Laru's tragic situation before they died, he became more and more angry. At this moment, the man looked at Rod coldly, eager to kill her directly with a sword, but reason still made him calm down quickly............ Then, the man snorted coldly. And at this time, the old man, who had been under the deterrence of Rod's momentum, seemed to have finally come to his senses, perhaps seeing the arrival of rescuers, the old man also regained his strength, he hurriedly took two steps back, came to the man's side, and then proudly introduced.

"This is Mr. Andre, he is a student of Master Sodfast of the 'Thunder Sword', I think, Miss Seren should know the name of Lord Dao Thunder Sword Saint."

"Oh?"

Hearing the old man's answer, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, of course he knew the name of the "Thunder Sword", the country of light has been able to be powerful on this continent for so many years, although their parliamentary system has cultivated a bunch of mentally handicapped, but there are still many strong people, but not all the strong will serve the Council of Light like the unlucky Arashi Sword Saint before, "Thunder Sword" Sodfast is one of them, he is one of the eight guardians of the "Sword Guardian", with a strange personality, but he never asks about the world. But even so, the guardian of the sword is still famous. It is well-known all over the mainland.

No wonder this guy can get the sigh of the sea god, the "Sword Guardian" organization was created by the descendants of a country that perished a long time ago, and the eight guardians of this organization are guarding the eight weapons left behind in that ancient country, and it is rumored that when the eight people who are qualified to hold these weapons appear, the ancient country will reappear——— of course, this is only the background introduction of this organization in the forum. In fact, until the end of the day, Rhodes did not see the country in the world, and he didn't even find all the eight weapons, but he did remember that the sigh of the sea god was one of them......... It seems that this man is the heir to the Poseidon's Sigh that Sodfast is looking for?

It's funny, I haven't heard of this person in the game.

Although Rhodes was a little confused, this thought only flashed through his mind, after all, his appearance had changed the world, and the experience in the game could only be used as a reference rather than a basis. Seeing Rod's silence, Andre sneered, and then he strode forward and came to Rod's side.

"I can guarantee in my identity and the reputation of my teacher that it was this young lady who created the underground riot and awakened those monsters!!"

"Ah............ This ....................."

And hearing Andre's words, everyone on both sides was a little surprised at this moment. Although it is often necessary for businessmen to write clearly in black and white, they are also well aware that sometimes as long as the person swears by his or her own honor, it has the same effect. Sodfast has a reputation, and as his student, this man could not have lied about his teacher's reputation! Is it really ...............

"Huhuhuhu....................."

However, before everyone could figure it out, they heard a series of crisp laughter, and Rod gently opened the folding fan with his left hand to block his mouth, but the smile on his face was not concealed at all.

"It's funny, Mr. Andrew, it's very interesting."

"Where's the fun?!"

Hearing this, Andre frowned slightly, and shouted angrily in a low voice. In the face of his angry shouts, Rod's expression did not change in the slightest.

"According to you, I went underground to create a riot and awakened monsters, so what do you mean......... Did I premeditate? ”

“……………… Of course. ”

Although the man paused slightly when he heard Rod's inquiry, he nodded quickly, and hearing his answer, Rod's smile became even brighter.

"It's funny......... If, according to you, my descent into the earth was premeditated, how did you witness what I did? Mr. Andrey? Could it be that you happened to run into me on a walk? You probably didn't recognize the wrong person. ”

"You ————!!"

Hearing this, Andre's face suddenly stiffened, and he angrily stretched out his right hand and pointed at Rod, but before he could say anything, he saw that Rod's right hand suddenly raised and stretched out a finger to his mouth, his eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cold chill.

“………… Are you really going to do that? Mr. Andrey? ”

Then, André heard a small, clear voice ringing in his ears.

"You don't think that this frivolous oath alone is trying to condemn me? And even if you do, what's the point? Want revenge? Over here? I don't have a problem with that, but ..............."

Saying this, Rod's eyes looked to the side.

"If you don't mind the blood flowing here, then I'll be with you to the end. These people seem to have a lot of trust in you, Mr. Andrew, but I wonder if they are willing to pay with their lives? ”

"You ..................!!!"

Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but subconsciously clench his fists, and at the same time, Rod suddenly approached him, smiling and staring at the man in front of him.

"That's advice............ Mr. André, Lord Sodfast is worthy of respect, but unfortunately I have my own business to do, and I hope you will not get in my way......... And you don't want to lose the young lady behind you. ”

“………………”

Looking at the "Miss Selen" in front of him. Andre couldn't help but subconsciously take half a step back, the beautiful face with an elegant and soft smile was presented in front of him so closely, even if he heard the woman's vicious threat like a scorpion, but Andre still couldn't help but be distracted, he hurriedly stepped back, reopened the distance from "Miss Ceren", looked at her angrily, clenched his fists tightly, he subconsciously wanted to reach out and pull out the sigh of the sea god on his waist, but after seeing the people around him, Andrei's movements stopped.

He believed that the woman in front of him did what she said, and if he really chose to do it here, then she would kill these people behind him mercilessly. From the previous confrontation, Andre has already sensed that this woman's strength is very strong, and he can barely fight with her with the sigh of the sea god, if a conflict really breaks out, can he protect these people around him?

However, Uncle Larue's hatred, should they give up right now? But............ implicating innocent people............

The man was silent for a moment, and finally, he gritted his teeth and sighed, and then he released his hand from the hilt of his sword. Then, André turned around without looking back.

"Perhaps, I did see the wrong person.................. Sherry, let's go! ”

"Huh? ………… Well, that's good. ”

Hearing the man's order, the elven female mage who followed behind him couldn't help but show a hint of surprise, but soon, she nodded, and then followed the man and turned away. Behind them, the elegant, crisp and beautiful voice of "Miss Syren" sounded again.

"It seems that the misunderstanding between us has been resolved. Mr. Andrey, then, I wish you well. ”

This feud ............ I will definitely report it!!

Listening to the chuckle of "Miss Syren" coming from behind, André gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and at the same time secretly made up his mind in his heart.

Next time, next time you won't have that luck! (To be continued)
