================================================================

Over the next few days, it was uneventful.

Although Mace finally chose to go with them, and was very enthusiastic about chatting with everyone in the mercenary group along the way, he seemed to forget about Rod's invitation to help, and kept silent. And Rhodes is not worried about Mace's performance, because he knows what Mace thinks.

"He won't respond until the Midsummer Festival is over."

Looking at the scenery flying by outside the window, Rod raised his eyebrows, and then said to Qilian, who was sitting opposite him.

"Businessmen are by nature profit-oriented, so if he thinks that he has the potential to lose more than he may gain, then he will give up. Even if I had saved his life in the Twilight Forest, Mace wouldn't have been so honest enough to take my word for it and go up with me on the oil pan. I'm sure he was intrigued. But as for the strength of our mercenary group, this guy still has a certain degree of doubt. So, he's waiting for the results of the Midsummer Festival, and if we can do well, then he'll be much more relieved. But if we perform badly, then we don't have to think about this option. ”

"Humans are really troublesome creatures."

Hearing Rod's answer, Seven Love chuckled, and she stroked her big fluffy tail with one hand, showing a slightly contemptuous expression.

"But this is also the merit of human beings, the troubles of hard work, the hard thinking, the hard decision, one by one, I hope that this decision is a right choice, not a failed mistake."

"I hope so too."

Just as Rod shook his head, about to end the conversation, he suddenly noticed a small hand tugging at his sleeve, and Rod turned his head to see Christy looking at him with a soft smile and raising the sketchpad in his hand. What is painted on it is none other than Rhodes himself. I have to say that Christie's painting skills are indeed superb, although she is a charcoal pen to draw figures, but at a glance, it is as vivid as a black and white photo. It's pleasing to the eye just by looking at it, and it's become a way for Christie to make friends: Within the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, including Marlene, Annie, and Lizzie, those who have a good relationship with her have been given portraits by the girl's own hands.

It's just "...., looking at the "black-haired beauty" on the drawing board. Rod couldn't be happy anyway, he always felt that Christie was subconsciously beautifying himself too much, and every time it came from a girl, the portrait of himself looked like a beautiful painting no matter how Rod looked at it? Didn't Christie never notice her manhood?

Of course, although he was helpless in his heart, of course Rhodes would not do anything to make Christie sad, so in the face of Christie's paintings, he just smiled and nodded, and at the same time reached out and gently stroked Christie's long silky hair.

"It's a good drawing, it's time for you to rest, Christie."

"Hmm."

Hearing Rod's words, Christie nodded happily, then put down the drawing board in her hand, while Rod took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the charcoal marks on her fingers.

Looking at the scene in front of them, Lijie and Marlene, who were sitting on the other side, couldn't help but turn their heads to each other. …,

"Mr. Rhodes is really good to Sister Christie, if it is someone who doesn't know the inside story, I'm afraid they will really think that they are sisters and sisters."

Perhaps sensing the biting chill, Lijie shuddered, or hurriedly corrected her grammatical mistakes. Marlene, on the other hand, picked up Christie's sketchpad beside her with surprise and appreciation, and carefully examined the paintings on it. After a moment, he sighed.

"Christie's skills are really getting more and more exquisite, with her current skills, I'm afraid there is no problem in becoming a court painter, I really can't imagine that she will have such a talent, is it amazing......." While whispering to herself, Marlene turned over the paintings on the drawing board, and when Marlene saw one of the paintings, the hand that was originally turning the drawing paper suddenly stopped, and then Marlene's face turned slightly red, and she instantly closed the drawing board again.

"What's wrong? Ma Lin? What do you see? ”

Sitting next to Marlene, Lijie is also admiring Christie's paintings, the girl nature comes to paint everything, these days, she has always painted the daily life of some mercenary group members, and even looks a bit like Starlight's "accompanying photojournalist", recording their daily lives. It's just that this "reporter" does not use a lens, but a paintbrush.

Nowadays, admiring Christie's paintings every day has become a pastime for many people in their leisure time, because girls are always able to pay attention to some subtleties that others are not aware of, and even some things, although everyone sees them, after Christie's re-polishing on the drawing board, it will give people an amazement of "it will be like this".

Originally, Lijie was also admiring the drawings on the drawing board, "Unexpectedly, Marlene suddenly closed it, which made her a little puzzled, but fortunately, Lijie's eyes were still on the sketchpad in Marlene's hand at the moment, so she didn't notice the pink that quickly swept across Marlene's face.

"It's nothing, Lijie, it's just that the rest of the painting hasn't been finished yet......"

Marlene was a little vague, and at this time, her abnormality was finally noticed by Lijie, who raised her head curiously and looked at the girl in front of her. On the contrary, he didn't pay attention to the fact that Qilian, who was sitting next to him at the moment, was shaking his head, looking at Marlene who was a little embarrassed with a gloating expression.

"Marlene, you ..............."

Just as Lijie was about to say something more, suddenly, the speed of the carriage began to slow down, and then the driver in front knocked on the window, breaking the somewhat awkward and strange atmosphere in the carriage

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to arrive in the Golden City."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Anne, who had been leaning on the side of the carriage and was sleepy, suddenly jumped up, then she opened her eyes, looked out the window, then cheered, opened the door without waiting for the carriage to stop, and then jumped out of the car quickly.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and at this time, everyone stepped out of the carriage one by one, and then they saw an incomparably beautiful picture.

Under the early summer sun, the city in the distance exudes a hazy glow, the clear water of the lake surrounds the tall city walls, and the verdant forest spreads out like a carpet to support the gorgeous, dazzling city. It is the heart of the entire Duchy of Moon, and it is also the most beautiful and shining pearl on the continent

Golden City.

As a prestigious city in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, the Golden City has a vast area and a large population. As the transportation center of the commercial traffic of the Dragon Soul Continent, a total of six rivers converge here, forming a huge lake that surrounds the city, among them, the Silver Moon River and the Emerald River run through the north and south sides of the Dragon Soul Continent, while the Crystal River in the east goes straight into the Sea of Falling Dragons, and the traffic can be described as extending in all directions. The lake that surrounds the Golden City forms a natural barrier, completely isolating it from the outside world. In addition to the five bridges that span the lake and are tens of meters long, this beautiful, sacred and luxurious city can only be accessed by boat. …,

As the most beautiful and wealthy city on the continent (the latter is the most important), there are all sorts of legends about the Golden City, including the entire city floor paved with the finest white jade, and on both sides of the road, elaborate statues erected on the sides, weapons in their hands made of gold, and eyes of beautiful gems. The Angel Temple located in the middle of the Golden City is the most important, the clear spring water flows from both sides of the road, white and smooth, up to tens of meters on the temple, there are traces of angels all the time. Legend has it that inside this temple, there are rare treasures everywhere, and even the magic crystal lamps on the walls are made of the most precious fire crystals. Some people even say that the walls are full of beautiful murals carved with gold and silver threads, which makes people dizzy.

As a central city, Golden City is known for its arts, magic technology and transportation industries. The level of magic technology here is even comparable to that of the mage city of Azus. And the convenient transportation, as well as the fertile water and soil, finally made this beautiful and glorious city.

However, where there is light, there must be darkness, although this saying is a bit old-fashioned, it is true.

Rhodes knew very well that to the south of the Golden City, there was a beautiful red maple forest, and the trees here never withered, and it looked very pleasing to the eye. But only a few people know that this is the place where Lydia executes her political opponents and the most heinous criminals. You must know that this grand duke's dedication to beauty is all-round

Some of them are real, and some of them are simply delusional. But there are so many rumors, and there are only two cores in the end, that is, the Golden City is really very rich, and it is very luxurious and beautiful.

Not to mention that after Lydia came to power, with the temperament of this grand duke, she naturally wanted to overhaul the entire Golden City, and after such a toss, even if the rumors could not be said to be 100% true, at least it was not too much.

In fact, in the game, this has also caused a heated discussion among players, in the eyes of many players, Lydia does this like those nouveau riche who have money and nowhere to spend, based on the novels they read on weekdays, the real aristocracy should be introverted, with rich heritage and connotation.

Instead of relying on this superficial glamour piled up with money to show off their existence. But there are still some players who refute that even if this female archduke really has money and nowhere to spend it, at least she has a hand in this regard, and the city that she has spent so much money to build is indeed breathtaking. Everyone is a layman, and they can't understand such elegant things as abstract paintings, since people spend so much money and don't make people feel that the nouveau riche are so vulgar, but they just make it luxurious and elegant, so let's say that the money is worth it, isn't it?

In fact, this is just one of the paradoxical arguments about Lydia, for the player, they have never seen such a person in power who loves the country and the people on the one hand, and on the other hand, and on the other hand, the female archduke is undoubtedly a famous monarch from the perspective of the people of the country. But judging by her own character, demeanor and behavior, then 100% a tyrant can't run away at all......... In the forum, any post debating Lydia can be turned to hundreds of pages, and all kinds of psychology and various ancient theories in it are really lively, which can be called a national carnival... yes
