Chapter 296: Holy War Ritual (I) [10,000 Words Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass]
For many people, what happened in the next few days was a little incomprehensible to them.
In the status of the Golden City, some things affect the whole body, so many things spread quickly, and in just two days, the news that there was a princess in the Duchy of Moon spread throughout the Golden City. Although most of them are unknown, those who have the way can naturally find out that the "princess" is named Lijie, who is now a member of the Starlight Mercenary Group. And after the blockade of Lijie's news was lifted, these people quickly learned the true identity of this young lady——— she was the biological daughter of the previous Grand Duke, and she was also Lydia's sister, and later left the Golden City for some accidents and went to the Pafield area, as for what happened......... It's not clear.
This news can be described as a stone to stir up a thousand waves, as Rod guessed, for a while the streets and alleys were full of discussions, but most of them were just curious and questioning, after all, for so many years, they didn't know that Lydia actually had a sister, and now this sister suddenly appeared, and actually had to participate in the Midsummer Festival? What's going on here?
What's more, Lijie's identity was not revealed by herself, but by Lydia's immediate guards......... This is even more confusing and incomprehensible.........
Some people also tried to infiltrate the mercenary group to see if there was any information worth digging up, after all, when they paid attention to Lijie, they naturally had to pay attention to the mercenary group where Lijie was. And for these people with good hands and eyes, there is no pressure to dig up the information of an ordinary mercenary group. Soon. They knew that this mercenary group had suffered a disaster before, and only Lijie came back alive. Later, the young nobleman who returned from her adventures helped Lijie rebuild the mercenary group and renamed it Starlight. I heard that this mercenary group is not large in number, but it is very strong. Since its inception, the connection has completed several dangerous missions, but it has never failed. And they are now top of the points in the Parfield region, and the momentum is strong.
But this kind of thing is of little value to them, and there are many conspiracy theorists everywhere, especially living in a place like the Golden City, where people would have been sold and eaten without a snack. Although it is said that angels do not eat people and do not spit out bones like the devil, but you must know that in the Golden City, angels only occupy 10% of the total population......... You think that all people are as kind and harmless as angels. So how do you make 90 percent of humanity feel good?
So these people are not satisfied with this, they want to know, who is the leader of this mercenary group? Where did he come from? I heard that he is a nobleman from the Oriental Mountains? So what is the strength of this nobleman? Is his formation of the mercenary group purely idle and boring, or does it have another meaning? Also, he appeared next to this "princess". Was it a pure accident? Or did the royal family send someone to spy on Her Royal Highness the princess?
All of this has to be clarified, although many people know that in the current Moon, Lydia's reputation is skyrocketing, and the possibility of overthrowing her is basically zero. Because this archangel is not only clever and cunning, but also ruthless, and shows no mercy to anyone who dares to overthrow his own rule and strength, if only to turn her side. I can't see that this girl, who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, is an angel, but a complete devil. But now she actually took the initiative to expose the secrets of the royal family to the public. If you want to say that you don't have a little thought, no one will believe it.
Therefore, these talents expect to be able to probe the Starlight Mercenary Group. to get some clues and intel that you desperately want to know. Although they can also use the power of the aristocratic circle to investigate, but the aristocratic faction of the Oriental Mountain Plains has always been outside the entire Golden City, because they are the first line of defense against the dark dragon, so the successive Grand Dukes have treated them with great courtesy, and these nobles have also inherited the introverted and non-dealing character of the Oriental Mountain Plains, and rarely come forward. However, the nobles of the Duchy of Moon are very aware that although the people of the Eastern Mountain Plains rarely appear in places such as drinking parties and balls like them, they have a great influence on the royal family, and it is definitely not wise to provoke them. …,
Then the safest way is to find someone from the mercenary group and then investigate. They are still very confident in this, after all, Golden City is a well-known city on the mainland that never sleeps, and it is impossible for everyone who comes to Golden City to let go of a trip, and when the time comes, as long as they keep an eye on those people in the mercenary group, it will not be easy to take the opportunity to inquire about some news? Dealing with a few outsiders is no pressure for them as land snakes.
But when these "local snakes" cheered up and prepared for a big battle, they were depressed to find that ——— other party had no intention of going out at all!
Since Rhodes led the Starlight Mercenary Group into the station, they have never come out of it, and they don't know what those people are doing inside, and they can't even see half a figure all day long. It wasn't until later that they learned from the staff at the station that the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment actually locked everyone up in the station for training ——— and strictly forbade anyone to go out?
This made a group of people star, and they didn't know what to say. They also knew very well why Starlight was able to participate in this midsummer festival, and it was no secret after all. So in the eyes of these people, Starlight is just a mercenary group that has gone through shit luck, and a group like them, which has only been established for less than half a year and is eligible to participate in the Midsummer Festival, is already a stroke of luck to be able to stand here. I heard that this mercenary group used to be only forty or fifty people, and now it adds up to less than a hundred? How can this be compared to the four major mercenary guilds?
So they always thought that this mercenary group was purely here to go through the motions, according to their ideas, after coming to the Golden City, these guys will definitely seize the time to spend all day drinking, enjoy the bustle and nightlife of the Golden City, and then go back to the Pafield area to boast about it, and then ——— and then there will be no then, it's up to them. Able to defeat the four guilds? That's not how the joke works!
But now......... Looking at Starlight's actions, those people only felt that their brains were completely insufficient. Do these guys really want to win? They're not brain-sick, or is that nobleman a dead-brained guy? Didn't understand this at all. Did he really prepare for this as if it was a match where he could win?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little pitiful, this is an ordinary person who was told to participate in a heavyweight boxing match, and everyone knew that he must have been knocked out by the other party, but he was still working hard......... But does it make sense?
The perception of the mercenary group and the mercenary guild is very clear to even ordinary people, just like the area where the four major guilds are located, almost everyone knows their names. And as for the mercenary groups? Unless their stronghold happened to be open across the door from their house, how could those ordinary people care about the names of these mercenaries?
To exaggerate, they don't even know the name of the sheriff in their own town, but who the guild leader of the area is. But even a three-year-old child knows the Tao.
This is the influence of the Mercenary Guild.
Therefore, the gap between the Mercenary Guild and the Mercenary Group is not the perception of an adult and a child, but the gap between a "red and purple emperor superstar" and an "unknown child wandering on the side of the road". Both sides are completely overwhelmingly different in terms of prestige and strength.
So no one believed that Starlight would be able to defeat the Mercenary Guilds. Climb to the top. Of course, it's hard to say if you change the usual times, but this time, Her Royal Highness Lydia said that she could fulfill "any wish" of the winner!
Now. The four mercenary guilds are still dead!
At that time, how can there be any place for your small mercenary group? Do you really think you're going to win? And then let Her Highness Lydia grant your wish? ..., this is no longer the level of a toad that wants to eat swan meat!
But no matter how slanderous these people were, Rhodes just closed the door and didn't let people out. Nor will anyone be let in. Even if these people paid a lot of money to buy off the attendants of the station, all they got was that they would train in the station all day, and then at night they would talk about something behind closed doors, and then go back to their rooms to rest——— and look at them, more like those ascetics, who have no interest in pleasure.
This information is meaningless to them, they would rather these people are locking themselves in and playing an unobstructed group party——— which can be regarded as an interesting anecdote of the upper nobles of the Golden City.
The only gain was that they learned that the leader of the mercenary group was a beautiful woman with a red face and a curse——— and he was also a man.
A group of people suddenly became messy in the wind, what kind of mercenary group is this!
In fact, from the very beginning, many of these nobles guessed wrong.
They thought that Rhodes and the others would be like those hillbillies, who were blinded by the prosperity of the city as soon as they entered the Golden City, but the truth was completely different. Needless to say, in the early stage of the game, Rhodes has always regarded the Golden City as his main city, and Rhodes knows more about what is here than those snakes, so for him, this is at most a revisit to the old land, and he is not in a hurry.
As for Marlene and Lijie, not to mention, they grew up in the Golden City, and they are both in the most luxurious and upper-level area in the Golden City, even if Lijie hasn't been back for so long, it seems that she is not very excited.
As for Lando and Joey, these two people were even less in the mood, thinking that they were going to step on that most sacred stage in a few days, the two rookies were nervous like the junior brothers who were about to step into the college entrance examination room, and their minds were blank and they couldn't do anything at all. Fortunately, Rhodes has been bringing them high-intensity training these days, forcing the two of them to forget the miscellaneous things in their minds, otherwise I really don't know what these two people will become.
But normal people also have it.
The only ones who were dissatisfied with not being able to get out of the city to experience the beauty of the Golden City were Anne and Labiss, the former had a very simple idea, and like ordinary "hillbillies", Anne also felt that it was too boring to come here and not go out to play and exercise in the house all day. But although complaining is complaining, Anne still listens to Rod very, very much, since Rod said that he is not allowed to go out, then he will not go out. It's a big deal——— it's a big deal, and then you can't go out after the game, isn't it the same?
As for Labis, she is completely unjustified, and her own strength is a soy sauce beater. And Labis is really difficult to make a long trip, she hopes to be able to go out to see this beautiful city, but unfortunately Rod is not allowed to go out regardless of whether you are the main force or the supplement. So the poor girl, in addition to making potions at the station every day, had to look at the scenery from the window to get too happy.........
In fact, although Rhodes wanted to lock everyone up until the last day, as a veteran player who had once regarded the Golden City as the main city, he knew very well that this was a real mix of fish and dragons, in fact, in the game, the early Golden City was also one of the main cities with the most prestige in the entire Dragon Soul Continent. In addition to the official prestige of the Duchy of Moon, there are four mercenary guilds, noble families, and the Holy Alliance. There are even more than a dozen thieves' guilds underground, and now because of this "princess incident", there must be a lot of trouble, so Rod simply didn't go out to provoke trouble. Stay in your own station——— anyway, there are guards from the War Angel Legion, and those powerful forces will not dare to climb their walls no matter how bold they are. …,
If he could, Rhodes would have liked to lock everyone up until the day the Midsummer Festival actually began, but unfortunately the reality was not as he had hoped, on the evening of the fifth day. With the arrival of the four mercenary guilds, the preliminary work of the Midsummer Festival has finally ended, and the next thing is the prologue to kick off the ——— holy war ceremony.
Plainly. It is the leaders of the participating mercenary guilds who gather together and swear to the spear of holy war, which represents the highest glory of mercenaries. Repeat the six commandments and oaths of being a mercenary, then draw lots to determine your opponent in the presence of the Holy Spirit. And Rhodes is the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment. Naturally, it is also necessary to participate.
So in desperation, Rhodes, who had been staying at home for so many days, could only give up his turtle shell strategy and bring Marlene and Labis to the venue.
Rhodes didn't bring Lijie with him, because he knew very well that as the central figure in the "princess incident", Lijie would definitely receive a lot of attention from both good and bad people, and it was still unknown what the attitude of the Daoist Party and the reformers would have towards her. Although Lydia should definitely be relieved of her, after all, the royal party is not monolithic, and what others think is also very important. Instead of taking her out to cause trouble, it is better to keep a low profile and provoke less enemies.
So he chose Marlene and Labis, the former is the head dragon of the Golden City, and the prestige of the Shania family is not very famous in the deep mountains of Deep Rock City, but now the Golden City can be said to be their base camp, and no stupid person will be stupid enough to clash with the heir of the Shania family here.
As for Labis, Rhodes has also fulfilled her request to go out for a walk this time——— haven't you always wanted to see the scenery of the Golden City?" This time you'll see enough!
When night falls, the holy war ceremony finally begins in the Lily Courtyard of the Golden City.
As a ritual before the official start of the Midsummer Festival, the Holy War Ceremony is very high-profile, not only the presidents of the four major mercenary guilds are present, but even some high-level people from the Golden City will come, as for the mercenary association responsible for holding the Midsummer Festival, it is naturally needless to say——— of course, this is an internal ritual in the mercenary circle after all, so it is not too grand and grand.
"Cut, it's boring."
Battle held the cup and looked at the dignitaries who were talking to each other not far away, and his eyes showed a little unhappiness. He doesn't like this kind of lively and hypocritical occasion, there are a lot of people, they talk about duplicity, there are many troublesome rules, and the food is only so little, he can't even fill his stomach!
Who came up with the idea for this broken ritual?
"It's boring, but it's a must."
Just when Battle was dissatisfied and complained, Victor walked over, unlike the barbarian who was still dressed as a warrior, the warrior who led Cole's Eagle to conquer the continent and had a personable demeanor had already taken off his armor at this moment, and put on a decent black dress, with his handsome and charming face, which really attracted the attention of many noble ladies and girls.
"Besides, this ritual may not be so boring, right?"
"Oh? What do you mean? ”
Hearing Victor's meaningful speech, Battle was stunned for a moment, but hearing his inquiry, Victor showed a hint of an interesting smile.
"Don't you have expectations for how your opponents will be distributed this time?"
"Huh? This ..............."
Hearing this, Battle was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly reacted, that's right, this time the holy war ceremony is different from the past!
In the past, there were only four guilds for the Holy War rituals. Therefore, there is no suspense in the final draw, representing the Purple Lily and Cole's Eagle of the Royal Party, as well as the Wings of Freedom and the Heavenly Sword representing the reformers. It's basically a clash between the two camps, and because the Midsummer Festival is a festival after all, it can't be very long. So the cycle of the competition is also very interrupted, and all of them are knockouts. First of all, the four mercenary guilds will face off in pairs, and then the two winning mercenary guilds will face off again to determine the ownership of the Midsummer Festival, whether it is an individual or team competition. So the number of duels is not much, and it is also very fixed. …,
Over the years, the number of victories and losers on both sides has been about the same, with the royal party and the reformists splitting the split.
But this year's festival is different——— because of the starlight. Changed the landscape.
Originally, the battle that could be decided by two pairs can be decided, but now there is an extra layer of change, which means that one of the mercenary guilds needs to fight Starlight one more battle, but ...............
"I said Victor, does it make any difference? Just a small mercenary group. No matter who they are, it's not easy to defeat them? ”
Battle quickly understood the joint, but he didn't care, after all, such a thing had never happened before. Don't forget, Shearer's Burning Blade has also been promoted to the guild. So he also represented the Parfield region at the Midsummer Festival. At the time, the Mercenary Guild gave a rule that new guilds had to fight one of the other four guilds by drawing lots. The other mercenary guild will have a bye, and after the new guild will decide the winner of the final, he will compete with the winner for the right to participate in the finals.
This was the case with Shearer's Burning Blade at the time, and the result was ......... They were completely defeated in individual and group battles, and their opponent, Cole's Eagle, easily kicked the new guild back to their hometown without even shedding a single drop, completely unaffected by the battle of one more battle.
In this respect, the Burning Blade is indeed a tragedy.........
Therefore, Battle felt that Victor's worries were unnecessary, you must know that Starlight is not even a guild, but a mercenary group, with their strength, where to put it is not death.
But Victor seemed to have a different opinion on this, and the smile on his face did not change at all, and after listening to Battle's inquiry, Victor chuckled and shook his head.
"Who knows what the way of this? Battle, this world is very wonderful............ It's so good, let's not talk about it, you see, the show is about to begin. ”
As he spoke, he held out his finger and pointed to the entrance to the square.
Battle turned to look, and soon he saw a dark carriage with an unfamiliar badge painted on its body coming to a halt, and then the doors opened. Then Battle saw a young man with long black hair and a beautiful face, dressed in a men's dress, get out of the carriage, and he glanced around with a calm expression, and at this moment, everyone also noticed his presence, and looked at the young man, and then, they were also stunned.
"He's a man?"
Battle couldn't believe it, and even held his glass a little rudely while pointing at the other party, and at the same time turned his head in surprise to look at Victor who was standing next to him and grinning and asked. How is this possible? Judging from the other party's face, it is undoubtedly a beautiful woman who chooses one out of ten thousand, a delicate and beautiful face, small facial features, slender eyes that are slightly narrowed, and with the long black shawl hair——— how can you see that she is obviously a woman.
However, the straight men's dress justified his name a lot, after all, no matter how flat a woman's chest is, it is impossible to reach such a point without ups and downs.
Rhodes stepped out of the carriage.
He quickly noticed the gaze of everyone towards him, and it is no wonder that before coming to the ceremony venue, Rhodes had already had such psychological preparations, so in the face of everyone's eyes, he still walked out of the carriage with an expressionless face as always, and then, Rhodes stood sideways and stretched out his right hand very gentlemanly.
Then, a slender, white arm reached out of the carriage and took Rod's right hand. Then, Marlene, dressed in a luxurious gown, stepped out of the carriage.
Different from ordinary days, the girl at this moment is wearing a burgundy dress, compact, high-quality fabric tightly wrapped around the girl's body, outlining the girl's youthful vitality, and slender and moving figure. The silver shawl wraps around the girl's shoulders, which shows a bit of maturity. With the girl's unique long silver-white hair and red eyes. It's even more impressive. Marlene had just stepped out of the carriage when the commotion around her suddenly came, not only because of the girl's beauty, but also because of her identity. As the next heir to the Shania family, Marlene must be respected on such occasions. Even if she joined a mercenary group with little fame and strength to speak of, it was definitely not an excuse that others could use to mock her.
But no one noticed that when Marlene stretched out her hand and held Rod's hand, a shy flush flashed on the girl's face, and she even showed a little distraction, but Marlene was the heir of the big family after all. Such a little gaffe was quickly adjusted, so it was not noticed by others.
Although Rod noticed Marlene's abnormality, he only had some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say anything. After Marlene stepped out of the carriage, he let go of the hand that was holding the girl, but instead of walking side by side with her, instead, after Rod let go. But he walked to the carriage again and stretched out his hand.
What's going on?
Seeing this scene, many people present were a little surprised, they all thought that after Marlene stepped out of the carriage. This young man should be walking with her——— even this is enough to make many people envious and jealous, what kind of identity is Marlene. If you are willing to walk with you, you will steal the fun. But now. Looking at the way this guy looks, what is he going to do?
But before they could clear their doubts, they saw another girl reach out from the carriage and take Rod's hand.
Unlike Marlene, who is full of luxury, beauty, and elegance, Labis is dressed very freshly, and the girl wears a plain white robe inside, and a lace-trimmed cloak outside, wrapping the girl's weak figure in it, giving people a sense of pity that I see pity.
I have to say that Labis is worthy of being the royal family of Berchems, although she usually looks stupid and stupid, afraid of life and timid, but on this formal occasion, the royal etiquette that the girl has received is completely revealed——— although she does not have the aura of a queen as Marlene, but just the girl standing there, her hands folded, hanging in front of her, and bowing her head, you can see at a glance her good upbringing and background.
Who is she?
Looking at Labis, everyone present couldn't help but be a little confused, they didn't know Labis, but judging from her appearance, she was obviously not the rumored "Her Royal Highness the Princess", then, this is worth scrutinizing——— what is the identity of this girl, and she is actually qualified to stand with Miss Marlene?
Although in fact, as the princess of the royal family of Labis Berhemus, she is indeed qualified to stand with Marlene, and even stand in front of her, but Marlene does not know the true identity of Rabis, and Labis herself has no concept of this, as for Rod......... He just thought, since Labis wants to go out, then take this opportunity to take her out for a walk, anyway, he is also her guardian, and it is quite pitiful to lock Labis in the house all day to watch her, and Labis has a gentle and introverted personality, and she is not like Anne's type of troublemaker.........
On this occasion, Rod doesn't want a MT to pull any hatred for himself.
But he soon discovered that hatred is a thing, and sometimes it may not work without relying on MT.
Because he found himself add.
Just as Rod walked into the ceremony hall with the two young girls, he saw a white-haired old man striding towards him with a smile, his eyes were plain, but there was an unsettling haze between his eyebrows.
He is the representative of the reformers, the president of the Heavenly Sword Mercenary Guild, Mobis. "Hello, long time no see, Miss Marlene. ”
The old man walked up to Marlene's side and greeted her with a smile, looking at him as if he had completely ignored Rhodes and Labis. But no one thought that this was the old man's attention to Marlene, on the contrary, they all heard the mocking tone in the old man's tone.
"Hello, President Mobis, I haven't seen you for three months, and your body is still so tough."
Facing the old man's greeting, Marlene also responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, she gently lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted the old man, but there was no fear in her eyes, and she stared at the old man in front of her.
"I thought my father had missed last 'accident'. It will make you lie down for a little longer. ”
Although Mobis is older, it stands to reason that Marlene should be cautious about his seniority, but the reformers and the royal party have long been on the same page, and they are their enemies. As the backbone representative of the royal party, Marin is of course unable to show her weakness in front of the reformers.
Hearing the conversation between these two people, the hearts of the people around them couldn't help but tighten, and they could all feel that this eldest lady had been practicing for a few months, and after coming back, the momentum of the whole person had become different from before. In the past, in the face of the other party's provocation, Marlene responded with arrogance and disdain. But now, she is even stronger, and even began to attack to try to seize the initiative!
Not only that, from the conversation between the two just now. Everyone heard a hint of very dangerous gunpowder, and it sounded like Mobis had done something to the Shania family, but he had failed and been punished? The Holy Soul is above. Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Guild really intends to turn against the most powerful family in the Principality of Moon?
Thinking of this, many people were a little surprised, and they looked at Mobis uneasily, wanting to see how the old man responded.
Really. Hearing Marlene's answer, a cold light quickly flashed in the old man's originally plain eyes. However, it soon returned to its previous state. Then he stroked his beard, and Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed. At the same time, he spread his hands to Marlene.
"Hahaha, Miss Marlene don't have to worry about my old bones, although I'm a little older, but this kind of little trouble is nothing to me. My mission has not been accomplished, how can I fall down and give up so easily? ”
At this point, Mobis didn't seem to intend to continue the conversation, and it was only then that he turned his head and looked at Rhodes with a kind smile.
"This ......... Is that the leader of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment, Mr. Rhodes? It's really better to see than to hear, I didn't expect you to be even more beautiful than the rumors. ”
"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Mobis."
Hearing Mobis's speech, Rhodes was still expressionless, he bent down slightly and saluted the other party.
"But for us mercenaries, faces? p>
2. Restore the plaque thief Σ Pan pro-scandium plaque g!?p>
"Good, good, well said! Haha ”
As soon as Rod finished speaking, Mobis laughed, he reached out and patted Rod on the shoulder——— which made Rode's face change slightly, but he quickly regained his calm. Mobis didn't seem to notice this, he just smiled and withdrew his hand, then nodded with a look of great satisfaction.
"That's right, you're right, mercenaries rely on strength, and many young people don't remember this anymore........." Mobis paused, then glanced around meaningfully. At the same time, he looked at Rhodes again, his eyes were a little more solemn, as the president of the Heavenly Sword Guild, of course, Mobis had already investigated the intelligence information about this young man, and he knew that he valued his face very much, and even reached the point where he could kill people on the street for this. So in Mobis's opinion, this is just an impulsive little hair. Originally, he also planned to use this opportunity to provoke this kid to achieve his own goals. But I don't know what the road is, this little guy who looks young shows more endurance than he expected, not only that, Mobis also found that he can't detect the change in the other party's expression from his face at all, and he doesn't know what the road is for, Mobis always feels that Rhodes looks at him not like looking at a living person——— but more like a dead person. ..., what the hell is going on with this kid?
"Well, I hope you'll have some fun at the Midsummer Festival."
After saying this, Mobis turned around without looking back, and then Da Lu left the three of them with a smile.
Looking at the old man's back, Rhodes was silent, and at this time, he suddenly felt a soft hand grasp his left hand, turned his head to look, and saw Marlene looking at him with a hint of helplessness, and at the same time shook his head gently.
"Don't be angry, Mr. Rod, Mobis is very difficult to deal with, he is deliberately provoking you, you must not fall for him."
"I understand, Marlene, don't worry."
Hearing Marlene's advice, Rhodes nodded, and he said lightly, then looked ahead again without any change. Looking at Mobis's old, even somewhat decayed back, a chill flashed in his eyes. Of course he understood what Marlene meant, in fact, Rhodes was no stranger to Mobis, in the mission of the royal party, he had personally eliminated the strength of the reformers, and Mobis was naturally included. Don't look at this old man on the surface, he looks like an absolutely decent character in revolutionary movies, but in fact, he is a sinister and ruthless character behind the scenes, if you are just deceived by his appearance on the surface, then you will definitely die a miserable death. But for this old man, Rod didn't care too much——— after all, he had already killed the other party once with his own hands, and now he turned it around, it's just a big deal to kill it again. That's why in the face of Mobis's provocation, Rhodes was so calm, and his eyes were so weird.
But of course, Mobis himself didn't know that this was it.
With the departure of the old man, the originally somewhat embarrassing atmosphere gradually dissipated, and the noise sounded again, and Rod, Marlene, and Labis also took the opportunity to walk to the side and get out of everyone's sight.
"What do you think?"
And at this moment, Victor also withdrew his gaze and looked at Battle beside him with a hint of a smile. Hearing his inquiry, Battle touched his chin and nodded.
"It's okay, it doesn't look like this kid is as sissy as he seems, it's just too soft, man, it should be harder. What are you afraid of that old immortal? Replace me, and slap it over! An old and immortal thief, how can he live so long? It's really a thousand years of the scourge of the king........."
"Okay, okay, it's useless to talk about that now."
Seeing that his friend and ally was on a digression, Victor hurriedly blocked his words, then he picked up his glass and nodded at Battle, squeezing his eyes in a mysterious smile.
"Now, then, it's up to me to play."
"You?"
Hearing this, Battle was stunned for a moment.
"You're going too?"
"Of course."
The smile on Victor's face remained the same, but there was a little more determination in his expression.
"In any case, the Shania family is also a loyal ally of our royal party, so naturally I have to go and say hello to Miss Shania——— and how can I make the reformers show off? I don't like to be beaten up in this situation. ”
"You kid has a lot of things."
Battle shook his head and sighed in reply, he was well aware of Victor's character. Don't look at his usual personable demeanor, he looks like he is very talkative. In fact, in his bones, he is even tougher and arrogant than himself, Mobis, who deliberately fell into their field before he died, how could Victor endure this breath.
But by this time, Victor had not heard what he was saying at all, but had already raised his glass and walked in the direction of Rod. Then, Battle saw him come to Rod's side, smiled and said hello to the other party, and the man who looked like a girl gave a blank salute in return, but .........
"What do I think, how do I think that kid is going to pick up girls?"
Looking at the scene not far in front of him, Battle scratched the back of his head, although he also knew that the other party was a man, but looking at the scene in front of him, he was a little unable to accept it...............
