Edward once thought that he could endure all the torture in this world, but now, he insisted on surrendering completely for less than ten minutes, and after being unrestrained, he fell to the ground like this, completely ignoring his image, crying and sobbing like a five-year-old child, and the devil's torture completely disintegrated Edward's mental defense, after which, Rod didn't even take much effort to learn the whole thing from Edward's mouth.

As Rhodes expected, the idea of the Aranique consortium to fight Marlene was not a day or two, since Lydia came to power, they have been looking for opportunities to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Duchy of Moon, but it is not an easy task, and then, these people hit the idea on Marlene. Their original plan was to control Marlene through drugs and make her Edward's slave, so as to provide them with intelligence information about the Shania family, I have to say that Aranick's plan is still very cautious, and they did not choose to try to control the Shania family, because those merchants know very well that the Mage Council of the Shania family is powerful, and if they go too far, it is likely to attract their attention. And Marlene, as the only heir of the Shania family, this position will be hers sooner or later. Therefore, the people of Eranik do not intend to rush for a while, on the contrary, they want to put a long line to hang a big fish and hollow out the confidential information in the entire Principality of Moon. and then destroy it from within.

It had only been a few months since Edward had been in the Golden City, and he had planned to repeat his old tricks in the Land of Light, and use those balls to get close to Marlene and gain a head start. But unexpectedly, Marlene is notoriously disliked to attend these banquets. Not to mention that after that, she left the Golden City to go on her own adventure. And Edward is a nobleman of the Land of Light. Identity is sensitive, so it is naturally difficult to act at will. So he finally chose to approach Marlene's plan through Marlene's schoolmate ——— Aranson, and I have to say that this plan was very successful at first. Aranson was easily turned into his slave by Edward, and even provided him with information about his family, as well as some of the secret agreements with the Shania family, of course, to avoid trouble. Edward didn't go too far either. He knew very well that his ultimate goal was Marlene, and if he went too far into other aspects and scarelessed the snake, then the gains outweighed the losses.

Eventually, his patience paid off, and on the eve of the Midsummer Festival, Marlene returned to the Golden City, and afterward. Edward asked Alanson to invite Marlene, and there was no need to say anything more about ————what happened next.

During Edward's story, Marlene kept her face blushing, her fists clenched, her body trembling slightly, and her burgundy eyes shining with astonishing rage.

But after Edward confessed everything, Marlene calmed down, and then she glanced at Alanson next to her with a complicated expression, and asked.

"Is there a way to cure Alanson?"

"Impossible."

But this time, there was no need for Edward to answer. Celestina responded very decisively.

"Unlike you, that human has already tasted the taste of men, as if they were saccharified into water, and the only way to disperse them again is to evaporate the water, but that is the end of life for this human."

Marlene was stunned for a moment when she heard this answer, and then she leaned back against the wall, lowered her head, and stared at the ground.

"So......... What will become of Aranson? ”

"I'm going to turn into a slut who can be a man."

Celestina glanced disdainfully at Aranson, who was still asleep. ...,"The master has castrated the inferior slut." Without his supplement, the human would only instinctively crave the taste of other males. At that point, she will lose her mind and become a plaything born for the sake of it, but judging by the average human appearance, maybe some nobleman will be willing to take her as their personal pet. ”

"Really............ Is there no way at all? ”

"At least not for Miss Ben, but think about it from another perspective. If the owner doesn't dislike this human being as a broken shoe, then he can take it away, right? Of course. The above is just Miss Ben's personal suggestion, if you feel dissatisfied, you can go to the descendants of the Belchemus clan, as an alchemy race, they may be able to come up with a solution. ”

Labis?

Hearing this name, Rhodes was stunned for a moment, indeed, this is a good idea, even if the "Charming Flesh Fragrance" is a product of the devil, it is a kind of potion after all, as the leader of the Belchems family, Labis should be able to create a drug that relieves the effect.

Thinking of this, Rod was relieved, but his mind was racing, and he quickly recalled another question.

However, why is the Ellenic Consortium against the Shania family at this time?

"This............ I don't know very well. ”

Edward, who was paralyzed on the ground like mud, replied with some difficulty.

"When I received the order, I didn't know the reason from the foundation, but ............ Ahem......... From what I've heard, it seems that Aranick learned that the Shania family had some ......... A big secret that can change the situation of the entire Duchy of Moon........."

A big secret that can change the situation in the Duchy of Moon?

Hearing this, Rhodes was even more puzzled, he knew that the Shania family mastered the magic technology of the Principality of Moon, and they were even more loyal to the royal party. If there are any secrets to change the situation in the Duchy of Moon, then they must have quite a few in their hands. However, this level of "secret" is no longer news among the upper nobles, as long as they are not idiots, everyone knows that such a big family must have a trump card with a lot of influence in their hands. But for what reason, the Aeranic consortium would now make a move against the Shania family? Or is it that they discovered something very special about the "secrets" of the Shania family?

Rod thought hard, but he didn't notice that Marlene's body trembled slightly at this moment, and then from the girl's eyes. A hint of uneasy panic flashed.

"Miss Marlene, what do you think should be done with them?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it for a while, and Rod shrugged his shoulders before turning to Marlene. In the face of Rod's gaze, Marlene lowered her head in a little panic, she thought for a moment, and then let out a long sigh.

“……… If Mr. Rhodes allows it. I want to be able to hand him over to our Shania family, as for Alanson......... I'll explain it to her family personally. ”

"No problem."

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhodes nodded, Marlene's decision is understandable, after all, this is a matter for the Shania family, and it is not good for him to interfere without permission, so to the end, it is nothing more than a good way to leave the rest to them to solve by themselves. And listening to Edward's words, it seems that there is some secret of the Shania family involved. In the game, Rhodes doesn't have much to do with the Shania family, and his knowledge of them is very limited, but he also knows very well that curiosity kills cats, and since he doesn't plan to fall out with the other party, it's not a bad thing to moderate his boring curiosity and avoid triggering the unhappiness of potential allies. ..., and at this time, Qilian, who was originally watching the show on the side, suddenly moved his ears, and then spoke.

"Master, there's a noise up there. It seems that someone is coming. ”

"People? Who? It can't be the angels. ”

Hearing the report of the Seven Loves, Rhodes also became nervous, no wonder, Edward's screams were so loud before that he even thought that half of the Golden City had heard it, if it was really the War Angel Legion who was in charge of patrolling outside noticed something to investigate, it would be a trouble.

"That's not right......... The voice......... Something seems to have gone wrong? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing the report of Seven Loves, Rod frowned a little strangely, and then he walked out of the room.

"Go up and have a look."

When Rod left the cellar and walked to the hall. What he saw in front of him couldn't help but cheer up.

I saw that there was chaos in the hall, and the mercenaries of the Starlight Mercenary Regiment carried in three or five people covered in blood all over their bodies, and among them, there were Christie, Shanna, and Kavos. Shanna and Kavos were the most seriously injured, Christie was not much better, and most of the others were injured. It looks like a mess.

Rod quickly walked over to Christie, who was in a comatose with her eyes closed. Deep scars can be seen on her shoulders and arms. On her side, Shanna's chest and shoulders were also slowly oozing with blood, and Kavos was covered in sword wounds all over his body, which looked shocking.

"How's it going?"

Rod frowned and looked at Lijie next to him with a blue face, while Lijie raised her head and nodded at him sweaty.

"It's okay, Mr. Rhodes, Christie just had some skin injuries, just a little treatment. Mr. Kavos and Sister Shanna's injuries are more troublesome......... But with Labis's potion, I think there should be no problem. ”

Hearing this, Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, and then he immediately turned around and looked at the other mercenaries.

"What the hell is going on!?"

Then, Rod asked coldly. Hearing his voice, the mercenaries glanced at each other, and then a less lightly wounded thief stepped forward.

"That's right, Captain, we were attacked on our way back."

"Attack?"

Hearing this word, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Where?"

"It's just down the street not far below......... We were sending Christie back, but suddenly a group of masked men came out of the alley and attacked us......... It seems that they were originally going to attack Christie, but Sister Shanna and Master Kavos protected Christie with their own bodies, and the masked men did not succeed, and then they quickly withdrew before the War Angels arrived. ”

"How many people are there on the other side? What kind of weapon is in your possession? ”

Hearing Rod's inquiry, the mercenary recalled.

"Probably............ Five or six, it looks strong, but most of them are standard weapons, and they don't look like anything special. ”

Five to six people, standard weapons.

Hearing this, Rod's face was slightly gloomy.

The other party actually dared to attack his own people in the Golden City, in public?
