Chapter 200: Negotiation with Darkfang

After hearing Chauvin's words, Rod didn't say anything immediately, on the contrary, he carefully looked at the masked killer in front of him, revealing a rather playful look.

"Mr. Chauvin, I'm not a very curious person, but even I have to ask you this question now——— since you are willing to pay such a big price, why don't you go yourself?"

"Because I can't get close to him."

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Chauvin was silent, and then replied very helplessly.

"Magic is a very troublesome thing, and I think you, as a mage by your side, should be able to understand that. Carody is very afraid of my revenge, so he has a very special magic item that will immediately detect my presence as soon as I get close to him......... It's not that I haven't tried, but every time I fail. So ......"

"So you want to get rid of him by my hand."

Rhodes doesn't have much hatred for being used as guns, and if you really want to follow this theory, then almost all players in the game are used as guns by NPCs. He wasn't interested in what kind of grudge and hatred there was between Chauvin and Carodi, anyway, since Carodi was from the Land of Light, killing him would only be good for him, not bad, not only would he reduce a threat, but he would also be able to make himself happy...... Well, that's important for Rhodes.

Rhodes respects his opponents, but not traitors. He can accept the invasion of the Night Nation against them, so the war is like that. But he could not accept the cowardice and capitulationism of the Land of Light. In the war with the Night Dragon Kingdom, the Radiant Dragon Kingdom Council, which was supposed to play a role in cohesion, not only did not play its due role, but took the initiative to give great gifts to the Night Dragon Kingdom again and again, not only did they destroy their only barrier, the Principality of Moon, but they also had no way to deal with the counterattack of the Night Dragon Kingdom after that. Even after the last day, he came up with the stupid idea of handing over the Dragon of Light to the Dragon of the Night, hoping that the other party would stop attacking. Because they actually thought that the Night Dragon Country's attack on the Light Dragon Kingdom was entirely due to the ideological issue of the endless struggle between darkness and light, they felt that they just needed to hand over the Light Dragon. Then you can make the other person stop.

Look, look, is this what a normal IQ person would think?

At the beginning of the country's founding, the original dragon of light chose to hand over power to parliament in order to allow the country to develop, while she herself retreated into the background. According to the original Dragon's idea, the nation was made up of her people, and it was up to them to choose their own direction. Only when they assume the responsibility of building the country will they have the motivation and hope to build the country into a better place. However, the idea of the Dark Dragon is obviously at odds with that of the Light Dragon, and he believes that as the leader of the Dark Dragon Nation as the leader of the Dark Dragon Nation, he should take the initiative to take the responsibility of guiding the direction of his people, in the eyes of the Dark Dragon. Those people are too superficial and naïve to see the present and not the future, and if they are allowed to lead a country like this, they will eventually be lost in the vast sea. The king's point is to guide them forward, and no matter how difficult the future may be, at least he can show a way for his people. It doesn't matter if the road is winding or smooth, at least it's a specific direction, and it's better than getting lost in the wilderness aimlessly. Therefore, the Night Dragon considers the Radiant Dragon's practice of delegating power to its people as an act of evasion and cowardice.

Of course, this is just a clash of ideas between the two. There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the five dragons of the creation world, according to the words on the Internet, the five dragons at that time were the fierce ones who were beaten by the mouth, and in fact, they were all gentlemen who did not move their mouths. ..., it's just that as time passes, the inheritors of the dragon soul have changed from generation to generation, and their original concepts have also changed, and there have been many conflicts between the Dragon Kingdom of Light and the Dragon Kingdom of the Night, and seeing the development and growth of the Dragon Kingdom of the Night has made the council of the Dragon Kingdom of Light deeply afraid. They fear that one day the heirs of the Radiant Dragon Soul will also regain power like the heirs of the Night Dragon Soul. Become a terrible dictator. So they went into action, and they used the power in their hands to overthrow the dragon of light. And began to gradually fade the importance of the Light Dragon Soul to the entire country and the continent, and by now, many people no longer know what the Dragon Soul of Light means to the protection of the continent, most of them only understand that the sky above their heads is the symbol of the Light Dragon, and what it will become after losing it, few people understand.

But on the other hand, the Night Dragon Kingdom has been emphasizing the necessity and existence of the dragon soul to its people, telling them that the reason why they can live a stable life on this continent now is because the power of the dragon soul has suppressed the power of chaos, thus restoring order to this world. Of course, the Light Dragon Kingdom has always given contempt and refutation to their claims, believing that it is deliberately promoted by the Night Dragon in order to strengthen its dictatorship, because in this way, the people who are afraid of losing the protection of the Dragon Spirit will not dare to rebel against their king, and in the eyes of the Light Nation Council, this is just a means adopted by the Night Dragon Kingdom to maintain its power.

And the inheritors of the dragon soul of the light that have been set aside have no power and prestige to speak of now, they are more like flowers in a greenhouse, which is a good statement, and if you look at it more truthfully, they are like pets in captivity in the council, take them out when necessary, and put them away if they are useless.

Later, Lydia's way of ruling the Duchy of Moon terrified the Radiant Dragon Council, fearing that the people would envy their lives, and eventually demanded that the Light Nation also learn this model and reform it, leading to the restoration of the Radiant Dragon, if that really happened, then the good old days when they talked about changing the fate of others in the council would be gone forever.

Rhodes was very suspicious that the biggest possibility of the council using such an idiotic reason was that they might have reached some ulterior agreement with the Night Dragon Kingdom in private, and the Night Dragon Kingdom might promise to continue to give these council members corresponding powers after occupying the land of the Light Country, so as to make the Light Kingdom Council so unsparing to sell the country to glory. The most obvious is that when the Council of Light exists, the player takes on the mission to resist the forces of the Night Dragon, and even if the mission is finally completed, it will not change the fate of failure. However, after Rhodes eliminated the Council of Light and then led the players to fight back, the alliance of players without the obstruction of the Council of Light immediately showed unprecedented strength, killing all the way to the heart of the Dark Dragon and then completely destroying it.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, either the council is too incompetent and pulls the player back. Either they simply deliberately consume their own strength to please their future masters.

If it is the former, of course, it is unforgivable, and if it is the latter, it is even more unforgivable.

Anyway, a thousand words come together into one sentence - the parliament must die.

So for Chauvin's request, Rod was not disgusted, on the contrary, he was also very grateful for Chauvin's reminder, although Rod himself had long been mentally prepared to be approached by the Council of the Kingdom of Light, but it was better for someone to give a specific goal than to cross the river by feeling the stones, right?

"I see what you mean."

Although he was not disgusted in his heart, Rod's expression did not change in the slightest, and now the other party is begging him, if he shows too enthusiasm, then he will have the upper hand in the next negotiation, which is definitely not Rod's expectation. In Rod's view, this is a task, and since it is a task, then it is necessary to squeeze out all the rewards, which is in line with his identity. ..., and Rod's attitude also aroused Chauvin's idea, frankly speaking, after meeting with Rod until now, Chauvin felt that this young man was really unexpected——— at the beginning of the mercenary joint meeting, Rod showed his aggressive side, but Chauvin knew very well that this young man was very calm under the arrogant appearance. But now, it seems that his composure is still beyond Chauvin's judgment. In the face of such a major event, Rhodes was not in a hurry at all, let alone showed the slightest impatience, which was very rare in Chauvin's opinion. As a killer, he is very good at observing each other, and Chauvin can be sure that when he mentions the Council of Light and Carodi, Rod's calmness is not disguised, he is really calm.

Of course, the killer didn't know that Rhodes had slaughtered the Council of Light in the game, so hearing the name of his sword soul was really not interesting to Rhodes.

However, Chauvin also knew very well what Rod was thinking, so he didn't hesitate, but stretched out his hand, and soon, a pitch-black dagger appeared on the table.

"This is the 'Tooth of Darkness', Mr. Rhodes, it has followed me for many years, and it is a very good weapon, and I will give it to you now as a deposit...... Of course, not only that, but I also assure you that in the future, if you need information, we at Darkfang can provide you with this service for free. ”

Hearing this, Rod nodded.

Although Darkfang is a mercenary group, it seems that they are more like a killer organization, and it can be seen from the fact that they can obtain information about the secret operation of the Council of Light, Darkfang's intelligence strength is very strong, and if they can get their help, then it will naturally be beneficial for Starlight.

But Rod's ambitions don't stop there, but he also knows that there are some conditions that are not suitable for now.

"Well, then, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Thinking of this, Rod made a decision, he spoke, and at the same time stretched out his right hand to the other party.

Looking at Rod's outstretched hand, Chauvin was silent, and then he slowly held Rod's hand.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Then, Chauvin whispered.
