Chapter 199: A Warning from the Dark Fangs
In the Dragon Soul Continent, people's entertainment life is not colorful. After nightfall, the nobles could choose to pass the time by chatting and laughing at the banquet. The commoners could only take their day's income and drink cheap ale in the tavern, and those who had wives could go home to pass the time, while the bachelors had no choice but to spend the night outside to find someone who could warm their beds.
The Brilliant Star is one of the places that provides these people with a warm sleepover, but unlike the third-rate taverns, most of the hospitality here is prepared by wealthy merchants, so the dΓ©cor is more luxurious and formal, and from the outside, you would never think that this is a romantic place, only that it is a high-end inn or tavern or something.
In the game, players have also been to similar places, of course, at that time, there were many people who spent a lot of money to enter it with a very unhealthy psychology and purpose, just to see if there were any special services inside. And when they get the exact answer from the NPC, the players will bite their teeth and hearts, take out the money bag from their arms and slam it on the table! Then he leaned into the NPC's ear with a wicked smile and whispered.
"Prepare me the best of yours here."
Then, after receiving the money, the NPC will take the player to the upstairs "special box", and for the player, it is obviously a very exciting and exciting experience. Although I don't know how NPCs will give themselves "special services" in this kind of virtual reality game, even if you can't touch it, it's good to see those beauties dancing a striptease in front of you. It's a good game, at least don't worry about seeing someone suddenly break in to eliminate pornography and illegal activities.
And just after the players came to the "special box" under the guidance of the NPCs with longing, they closed the door excitedly, sat on the sofa and waited for the tulle to be opened, and then they saw βββ a large river crab with a full body ** standing in the center of the room, waving two large drills, and making a "click" at the player.........
Players who have suffered a dumb loss will certainly not stop there. They angrily went to the official website to question, but what they got was a wordless answer that made everyone speechlessβββ "Because of the restrictions of laws and regulations, so ........." In the face of this reason, what can players say? They could only helplessly say nothing.
Although the later game company has generously stated that they can replace the river crab with a treasure Mimic monster, but for players, aren't they all the same.........
Standing in front of the door of the brilliant star at this moment, Rod couldn't help but think of this interesting story from the past, but it was a game after all. The room is full of river crabs and dancing striptease, which is just a "legal rule". Now in reality, there is no need to worry that there will be a big river crab in the "special room" aboveβββ but he is not here today to make up for the regrets in the game.
"Welcome, noble sir."
When Rod came to the door of the Brilliant Star, the woman who had appeared in the square during the day soon came to him, and Rod was dressed no different from before. Still hiding his face with a cloak. The woman's dress has changed slightly, she is wearing a gorgeous evening dress, and her face with heavy makeup now looks a lot cleaner, but it has a little more delicate beauty. Seeing Rod's arrival, the woman smiled and twisted her waist to walk up to him and saluted him, while Rhodes nodded slightly in return.
"Please follow me."
Without saying anything more, the woman turned and led Rhodes towards the gate. It can be seen that the woman's status here is not low, and when they walked into the gate, the guard glanced at the weapon on Rod's waist and wanted to reach out to block it, but the woman only coughed a hand, and the other party quickly withdrew her hand. It can be seen that this woman's identity may be very unusual. β¦,
But Rod didn't care about that, because he was here this time. Not to meet this woman.
Step into the "Brilliant Star". You can see that there is a dim space everywhere, and soft music and dim lights reflect each other. With an unusually ambiguous atmosphere. Rhodes didn't linger much in this kind of place, he just took a quick look and quickly left, but it was obvious that, unlike those third-rate taverns, at least there would not be a scene of a dancer with a bare chest and a man ** as soon as he opened the door.
Originally, Rhodes thought that the other party would take him to the "special room" upstairs, but he didn't expect that the woman just took Rhodes to a dim corner of the hall, and then quickly said goodbye and left. But that wasn't much to Rod, he just glanced around, then sat down in his chair and looked quietly at the man in front of him.
"Hello, Mr. Chauvin."
"Hello, Mr. Rhodes."
Sitting opposite Rhodes was the leader of the Darkfang Mercenary Group, "Shadow" Chauvin, at this moment his dress was not much different from Rhodes, the only difference was that he was still wearing that white mask on his face, which was a little pale under the faint candlelight, and in the face of Rhodes' greeting, Shavin nodded slightly, even if it was a response, but Rhodes didn't care about this now.
"Frankly, I'm surprised to be invited by you, and besides, I hope you'll be discerning in choosing the messenger and not bothering the people around me."
In the face of this long-famous killer, Rhodes was not afraid and polite at all, he reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table, and then poured a glass of wine in front of himself, while complaining very dissatisfied. Hearing his words, Chavin let out a dull laugh, then shook his head.
"Salina is my assistant, sometimes she is a little more impatient, which is not a good quality for a killer, and I think it's time for her to correct it...... I apologize to you for my subordinates' presumptuousness, Mr. Rhodes. β
"You don't have to apologize to me, I just said it casually."
Rod waved his hand, and then he leaned back on the soft couch, looking at the man in front of him with caution and curiosity. You must know that he has no relationship with the Darkfang Mercenary Group, and there is no conflict or stake between Shawen and himself, how could he come to him? What is the matter with this "second in ten thousand years" mercenary group leader looking for himself?
"I'd rather get to the point......... Mr. Chauvin, what are you looking for me? β
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Chauvin did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Mr. Rhodes. If I remember correctly, you and your mercenary group will be attending the Midsummer Festival in two months' time. β
"That's right."
Hearing Sha Wen's inquiry, Rod nodded very affirmatively, he was not surprised that Sha Wen knew about this matter, after all, the Mercenary Association had found the top three mercenary group leaders. It's just that Shearer refused, and Chauvin obviously knew about the matter and deliberately avoided it, and now he talked to himself about it. What does that mean?
"Well, I want you to be careful with a guy named Carody."
"Carody?"
Hearing Chauvin's words, Rod frowned, and then he quickly flipped out the other party's information from the brain library.
"Carodi. Kuster? β
"Do you know him?"
Hearing Rod's rhetorical question, Shavin was obviously a little surprised, although he couldn't see his expression because of the mask. But the slightly raised pitch of the dull voice betrayed his feelings. However, Rod didn't say much about Chauvin's inquiry, just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. "If you're referring to the Kalodi of the leader of the Black Blade, the secret unit of the Council of Light, then I've heard of his name. β
"I heard?"
Chauvin stared at Rod, a look of sarcasm, confusion, or mockery in his eyes, and only after a moment of silence did he sneer.
"The name of the commander of the secret operation force of the Council of Light can actually be heard by any mercenary in the Principality of Moon. It seems that those old immortals who can only play tricks are really useless...... Well, but since you know who he is, you should know what I mean, Mr. Rhodes. β
"If I'm not mistaken, you're saying that Carody will show up at the Midsummer Festival?"
Hearing this, Rod frowned a little puzzled.
"But Mr. Chauvin, what does this have to do with me?"
"I don't know the details, Mr. Rhodes. I don't know what you've done. But according to what I received the other day, the Council of Light has sent the 'Black Blade' to try to attack you during the Midsummer Festival...... It's obvious. You must be bad for some good thing about that bunch of idiots who don't know anything but crap. β
"At the Midsummer Festival?"
Rod's face was slightly gloomy, but his tone was still calm.
"That's right, and according to the information I've gotten, he's going to disguise himself as a guild mercenary in an attempt to cause an 'accidental death' in the arena, so he doesn't have to worry about being punished and investigated, and he won't get the attention of Moon, let alone damage the relationship between the two countries...... Although I don't think there is anything worth maintaining in the relationship between these two countries. β
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chauvin."
Rhodes was expressionless on the surface, but in private he firmly remembered this information, for the information provided by Chauvin, Rhodes was not surprised, he completely destroyed the arrangement of the Council of Light in the Pafield area, whether it was for the purpose of extermination or revenge, the Council of Light would not let go of himself easily, and now it seems that things are indeed as he expected, and the Council of Light finally can't help it.
But fortunately, it seems that they still have some scruples, the Black Blade is only one of the secret forces under the Council of Light, strictly speaking, it is not very strong, according to the level in the game, most of the members are between thirty and forty levels, and the level of Karodi is about the same as that of Seleka, and the previous Rhodes must be finished against him. But although Rhodes can't be said to be absolutely fine with him now, as long as he is prepared, he can still ensure that his safety will not be too threatened.
Merely.........
"Mr. Chauvin, as much as I appreciate the reminder, I think it's not just a reminder that you've invited me here."
"Of course."
The killer nodded slightly, acknowledging Rod's statement, and then, his voice suddenly became much lower, and was full of cold killing intent.
"I have a request......... Mr. Rod, when you meet him at the Midsummer Sacrifice, I hope you will kill him, and if you can do that, then I can assure you here that we will accomplish something for you unconditionally...... Anything goes. β
Hearing this, Rod was slightly stunned.
ps: The monthly pass is not very powerful, everyone has to come on......
PS2: I'm comfortable updating in the morning, but writing an update in the evening doesn't feel like it's over...... It's hard to choose......
