If it was an orthodox canonization ceremony, then Rhodes would have to suffer a lot, first he would bathe himself, then soak in the pool for ten hours, then kneel in front of the altar for another day, and then go to the field to keep vigil when night falls, and almost inevitably encounter all monsters that he could not think of to kill to find trouble, unless he can kill this monster and spend the night in peace, and then he will be eligible for the reward of his master.

However, the honorary knight does not need to be so troublesome, since it does not require Rhodes to serve Lydia wholeheartedly, it is just a nominal ceremony, and only a person with sufficient status is needed to witness it, but Rhodes did not expect that Lydia would find such a witness who was unexpected.

"Hello, Miss Irene, long time no see."

Looking at Irene in front of him, the corners of Rod's mouth twitched involuntarily, in the game, he has always "only heard his voice but not seen him", even if it was in the previous combat power, what he saw was Irene's original form. This was the first time he had seen Irene's human form with his own eyes, and he had to admit that Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess did have her own unique charm. She is not as eye-catching as Lydia, but because of this, the two of them stand together and match the dreamy colors of strength and weakness. She is like the moon at night, silently reflecting the clear and beautiful light, clear, bright, soft but not dazzling. She shares the same qualities as Lydia, gorgeous, noble, and elegant. But if Lydia is a sister full of pride, and dazzling, and people can't help but be attracted, then Irene is a little introverted, quiet, and lovable. No wonder in the Land of Night. So many players are willing to go to the trouble for Irene, and it's not much worse than the players in the Duchy of Moon are relative to Lydia. It was for this reason that Rod did not spontaneously go to Irene for trouble at that time. Comparing hearts to hearts, he and Starlight only erupted into such a powerful fighting power after Moon was destroyed and Lydia was killed. If he kills Irene, will there be a guild of himself and another "Starlight" guild in the Night Country? So at that time, when it was attacking the Night Country. Although Irene's problem was taken into account, Rhodes did not take the initiative to find Irene's trouble, and fortunately Irene did not appear in the battle against the dark dragon Ion, so it also saved Rhodes from worrying about doing something. But......... Some idiots seem to think that this is a good advantage, so soon, Rhodes witnesses the scene where his guess becomes a reality——— although those players don't really make another starlight, but the stupid guild itself is not as strong as the Land of Light, is it?

But looking at these two people at the moment, Rhodes found that the gossip of online players was really not unreasonable, although he didn't know much about the relationship between Lydia and Irene. But as long as they are not stupid, you can see from the actions of the two that they are very affectionate, you see, Irene walked to Lydia's side like this. You see, Lydia actually stretched out her arm like this? You see, Irene also took Lydia's hand!

Miss Irene, aren't you going to go back and ask your father if you were picked up from the Continent of Light?

Long-lost sisters. Enemies on opposite sides, what a beautiful drama this is. If it's in the game. Rhodes will definitely take a screenshot of this scene and throw it on the forum, guaranteeing that it will make players talk about it with excitement for at least half a month.

"It's been a short time since Lynn arrived, not long after you informed me, Sir Rod."

Lydia seemed to know what was going on in Rod's mind, and smiled and answered for him.

"To be honest, when Xiao Lin came to the door. I was a little surprised. Anyway......... Well, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Night Nation is here, but I didn't expect it at all. If it weren't for this situation, I would have planned to prepare a grand welcome ceremony for Xiao Lin. ”

"It doesn't need to be so grand, Sister Lydia."

Irene smiled softly and shook her head. But given her status as a princess of a country, there didn't seem wrong with calling Lydia her sister - as long as the Dark Dragon didn't mind having an inexplicable supernumerary member of the family.

"As a guest, it is only natural for me to visit the host's house. I've heard a lot of rumors about Lydia's sister in Night Country, and I think I'm a good match for you, and it's just as I imagined, not only did I discover a great artist, but I even gained a soulmate, which was a very rewarding trip for me. ”

Do you two really understand the situation?

Rod was still expressionless on the surface, but deep down in his heart, Rod had completely bowed down at this moment. Sure enough, it's a very extraordinary thing, this kind of thing is absolutely incomprehensible, it's absolutely strange! Your Highness Irene, after all, you are also the princess of the Night Country, and it is just a matter of traveling to the Continent of Light, and you are actually visiting the door with a big thorn, aren't you afraid of being arrested? Having said that, Your Highness Irene, you definitely didn't get the consent of the Dark Dragon on this visit, aren't you afraid that something will happen if it leaks out? And His Royal Highness Lydia, although I know that the two of you are very compatible, let's also look at each other's identities and positions, although it seems that Irene's identity is still a secret in the Golden City, but even so, what kind of trouble is this for the big thorn to invite the princess of the enemy country to live in the Golden City and talk about the world? And looking at Irene's appearance, it doesn't seem to be house arrest in disguise, although it is not ruled out that Her Royal Highness the princess may lack roots in some aspect of her brain circuit, but Rod, who has fought against her, doesn't think so, and it is rare for a boss or a player to be able to play canary and little bubblegum in an instant——— and this is also cited by the two as a shame in their lives.

However, the advantage of poker face is that even if Rod complains wildly in the depths of his heart, his appearance will not reveal his true thoughts in the slightest. Lydia and Irene only laughed and laughed, and then soon the two got to the point.

"Well, please, Xiao Lin."

"No problem, Sister Lydia. I once fought Mr. Rhodes in the Land of Atonement. He does deserve the honor. ”

I'm talking about the position of the two of you............ Forget it, I'm not worried about what else I have to say.

While complaining helplessly in his heart, Rod walked in front of Lydia. And at this time, Irene had quietly walked to the side, and the honorary knight didn't need a grand ceremony, so Rhodes didn't need to bathe and change clothes or anything. He came to Lydia, and by this moment the archangel had already set up his clothes, smiling, and quietly watching him, and then Rod bowed his head and fell to one knee and half on the ground. And at this moment, Lydia stretched out her hands, only to hear a soft sound of "swish". Two staggered, snow-white and dazzling long swords appeared in Lydia's hand.

Then, Lydia's longsword slowly descended.

"Rhodes. Sir Elant. ”

Lydia's voice rang out.

"I am here, in the name of the archangel, Lord of the Duchy of Moon, to bestow upon you the honor of holiness and glory."

The two swords staggered, gently touching the back of Rod's neck, and Rod could even feel the cold touch coming from the blade and the divine power contained in it. Don't say anything else. This strength alone far exceeded the Star Scar Holy Sword in his hand.

"Protect the land. Always be faithful to it, and glory will always be with you........."

The two long swords slowly ran down Rod's body and gently slapped on his shoulders.

"I hope you can abide by your heart, in this world, the dark road may be full of thorns, but only with a torch in hand. And the strong-willed will be able to overcome these obstacles and open a path for the latter. ”

The twin swords swung and staggered through the air, slapping gently on Rod's shoulders again.

"You will be knights, and do not forget those who are always behind you, who will hold high the banner for you. It will also go down a completely different path for you. It will all depend on your choice, and I hope you will be able to have a clear conscience when you raise the sword in your hand. ”

What is the rhythm of this?

Hearing Lydia's words, Rod raised his eyebrows with some curiosity. It wasn't the first time he had participated in a knighthood ceremony, but Lydia's words seemed to mean something. He looked up at the archangel in front of him, and by this time, Lydia had withdrawn her sword and looked at her with a smile on her face. Rod stood up, his gaze slowly moving from looking up to level, and in the process, Rod suddenly felt an unprecedented excitement that he had succeeded.

The only regret that I didn't change in the game has now changed. And the relationship between him and Lydia has changed as a result. He is no longer fighting for the tragic hero who died for the destruction of his country, but on the contrary, they will join hands side by side, on the same level, each walking the same and different path.

"As you wish, Your Highness Lydia."

Then, Rod spoke softly, responding.

"Good."

Lydia smiled with satisfaction at Rode's answer, but soon Rhodes noticed that she was winking at him slyly.

"Then next, here's the punishment I'm going to give you."

"Punishment?"

Hearing this, Rod was stunned for a moment, what did he do?

"It grieves me very much that you have harboured a great artist, and have never told me about it, Sir Rhodes. Do you know the truth? When I learned that ..............." said this, Lydia glanced at Irene, who was standing next to her, smiling quietly and watching everything in front of her. “……… When someone got their hands on that master's work before I did, I had to admit that sometimes, too much light can make people lose sight of what is in front of them. It seems that this time, I lost, but unfortunately, I don't plan to let it go. ”

"So......... What do you mean, Your Highness? ”

Hearing this, Rhodes suddenly felt a headache, and he had vaguely guessed that Lydia was angry about something. But the conscience of heaven and earth, I really don't blame myself. Although Rod is a god-like gamer, he doesn't have many artistic cells, in fact, Christie's paintings Rod has seen a lot, and the girl's paintings are indeed very beautiful, but in Rode's opinion, it is just very beautiful, as for whether there is any artistic value, this question has not been considered by Rod at all.

"It's simple."

Lydia winked triumphantly at Rod.

"I would like to get a painting of Miss Christie......... Shouldn't that be a problem? Sir Rhodes? ”

“…………… That's certainly no problem, Your Highness Lydia. ”

Facing the bad taste of this Grand Duke. Rhodes was completely speechless.

"What do you think? Xiao Lin? ”

After the ceremony, Rhodes quickly took his leave. Lydia and Irene were soon left in the room again, and looked meaningfully at the back of Rhodes leaving, until the door closed again, and Lydia smiled and withdrew her gaze to look at the girl beside her.

"Interesting people. Sister Lydia, I like him very much, and personally, he will be a very capable and competent subordinate. ”

"Is that so?"

Lydia blinked playfully, and those beautiful eyes looked at Irene quietly, and Irene turned away without fear to meet the archangel's scrutinizing gaze.

"That's right, Sister Lydia. It can be seen that he is very capable and decisive..............."

Moreover, he is also likely to be the most formidable enemy of his brother.

Thinking of this, Irene said a somewhat complicated look in her eyes, but soon, a smile appeared on Her Royal Highness the Moon Princess's face again.

"Well, Sister Lydia. It's time for afternoon tea. ”

After this brief ceremony, Rhodes finally received the status of Honorary Knight. That way, he would be qualified enough to obtain a Pioneer Order and use it as an excuse to go deep into the Chaos Savages, and once Rhodes succeeded in opening it and mastered the Genesis Dragonsoul Flame, he would have a territory recognized by all the races that had signed their names on the Genesis Treaty. And it's not just humans. There are also elves, dwarves and even the undead. Of course, this is only recognition, not compliance——— recognition of a territory and invasion of it have never been a contradictory community.

However, this did not prevent Ruder Finn's plan from proceeding further.

The cold winter days are coming to an end. The warm spring mood is once again enveloping the land, everything is recovering, and as the war subsides, the atmosphere in the territory becomes more and more lively and lively.

Rhodes stood leisurely in front of the pillar of order, staring at the remnants in front of him. After just two months of trading, his relationship with the remnants had improved considerably, and the remnants could even show some respect by calling him "Lord". And through the transactions again and again, Rhodes also obtained a lot of precious magic materials, which made Labis's research also progress by leaps and bounds. This time, however, he was hoping for something a little different. So, when Rhodes followed his men to the trading place again, he made a completely different request from the remnants of Chaos.

"For what?"

Looking at the magic materials around him, the man in the lead frowned and asked in a low voice. He looked at Rhodes suspiciously, his calloused hands clenched tightly.

"For what, lord, don't intend to, trade?"

"No, I still have the intention of trading."

Rod waved his hand, interrupting the other man's speech.

"It's just that the deal I'm expecting seems a little different than what you think, and I'm hoping to get some more meaningful help."

"Help?"

The man's brow furrowed, and it was clear that he didn't understand what Rod meant. He shook his head, then pointed to the materials in front of him.

"We, all, that's all."

"No, it's not all."

However, in the face of the man's answer, Rhodes shook his head. Then, he looked up, and his dark eyes stared at the man in front of him quietly, until a moment later, when Rod spoke.

"I'm expecting to be able to get the coordinates of the tinder."

"Whew!!"

At the moment when Rod's words fell, the man suddenly pulled out the long knife behind his back, and the man who was already tall and burly, at this time, was like an angry bull, his face was red, and his eyes were as big as copper bells, and beside the man, the other two people also drew their weapons and looked at Rod vigilantly.

"No one! Knowing the way! Tinder! Apart from! Elder!! ”

The man stared at Rhodes deadly, word by word, and spoke slowly. I don't know if the road is a deterrent or a warning.

"All, seeking, Tinder, people are dead! All! Do you want to die?! ”

"I obviously have a different opinion on this."

Even though he was surrounded by three men, Rod's expression did not change at all, on the contrary, he narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his right hand to signal his subordinates not to act rashly, and then Rod's left hand drooped, and soon, a pitch-black long sword appeared on his right hand without warning.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but it doesn't matter, I can tell you that I am no stranger to you, and I am also familiar with your world. Of course, I know what it means to you to pursue the fire, but I still hope to have your help, after all, you know that it is also a good thing for you, isn't it? ”

"I, no, see it that way. Elder, it's the same! ”

"Well, I want you to take me to the Vault, and I want to talk to your elders face to face."

“………………………”

This time, the man didn't answer immediately, he slowly lowered his weapon, and then the man stared at Rhodes warily.

"We, not the power, protect you."

"I assure you that I have what it takes to protect myself. And I want you to promise that if you will take me to the elders, I will pay you three times as much. ”

“………………………”

The man laid down his weapon, perhaps moved by the unwavering faith in Rhode's tone, or perhaps he was unwilling to lose such a rich reward, after all, in the land of chaos, fresh vegetables, food, and pure water were almost as gold luxuries. Triple the pay, enough food for the people in his shelter to eat for many days!

"Three days."

After a moment of silence, the man finally spoke.

"I'll give you a response in three days."

"Good."

Hearing this, Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and a smug smile flashed inside.

"I'm looking forward to it." (To be continued......)
