By the time Rhodes returned to the station, it was dusk.

After watching today's game, in addition to letting old Walker complete his "mission" as always, Rod also took the time to go to the Royal Library in the Golden City, hoping to find some news about Celia and Celestina in it. However, he searched through the royal library in the Golden City for an entire afternoon, but still did not find any records of the relationship between the war angel named Celia and the high devil named Selestina. Nothing did not make Rhodes give up, on the contrary, it made him more interested, as the record of angels and demons on this continent is second only to the Royal Library of the Temple of the Land of Law, there is no record of these two people, so it shows that both Celestina and Celia belong to the existence of outside the specification, which is even more thought-provoking.

Of course, the reason why Rhodes explored the life experiences of the two so much was not only out of pure curiosity, but also because of necessary considerations. Summoned elves, as beings that exist or have existed in this world, all have their own unique pasts, histories, and memories. Only by understanding these can we give full play to their strength. Some elves are good at attacking, some are good at defending, some elves like war, and some elves yearn for peace. If you can't understand their past and background, then in the future, as you increase your level, when you encounter some powerful creatures, the summoned elves may also act negatively on the wielder's commands. It was as if this time, Rhodes could realize that Celia was actually a little reluctant, but Selestina didn't take these "lower beings" seriously at all, so in the future, if he wanted to destroy a village. Celia would certainly be adamantly against it, and Celestina would have enjoyed it.

There are two sides to any choice.

Of course, even if Rhodes had the need, he could also force the two of them to tell him where he came from. But in this way, there will be a gap between the summoned elves and the summoner, and in the worst case, the summoned elves may even choose to self-destruct to escape this bondage——— this kind of idiotic thing that picks up sesame seeds and throws watermelon will not be done by Rhodes. Because of this, this is more like a test, testing whether the holder cares about the trials and rituals of his summoned elves, and only those who can pass this trial. to be eligible for the full recognition and allegiance of the summoned elves.

"Hoo ..............."

Walking into the hall, Rod sighed, and at the same time shook his head from side to side, looking at the materials for a whole afternoon, he also felt some backache. And at this moment, a petite figure threw herself into Rod's arms, and then, Christie raised her head. Gazing at him with a soft smile.

“……… Rod......... Welcome back........."

"I'm back, Christie."

Looking at Christie's smile, Rod couldn't help but show a soft smile. Then he reached out and gently stroked the girl's head. When he raised his head, he saw that Lijie was also holding a storybook and came to him.

"You're back, Mr. Rod, are you all right?"

"Not bad."

In the face of Lijie's greeting, Rod nodded slightly, and then he looked down at the empty hall and said with some doubts.

"What about the others?"

Anne was still sleeping, and said she was going to sleep until dinner time. The others were also resting in the room......... Miss Marlene had just gone out. She said she should be back in the evening. ”

…,

"Marlene?"

Hearing this, Rod was stunned.

"Where did she go?"

"This............ A young lady named Alanson invited her to afternoon tea, and she was heard to be Marlene's friend in the academy. ”

"That's right..............."

Hearing this, Rod nodded, and then he asked casually.

"Do you know where she went?"

"This............ I'm not very sure. ”

Hearing Rod's inquiry, Lijie shook her head helplessly. And at this time, Christie, who had originally thrown herself into Rod's arms, raised her head.

“……… I know where Marlene went......... The sister named Alanson said ........."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Rod and Lijie glanced at each other with some confusion, and then looked at Christie.

"Where did they go?"

“……… As far as I could hear, the sister told the coachman that she was going to a place called Barbero Street......"

"Barbero?"

Hearing this name, Lijie tilted her head in confusion, but she didn't have any memory. It's no wonder that at the beginning, she was in the Golden City, almost staying in the palace, and now I am afraid that she has not even figured out how many streets there are in the Golden City, just in this regard, she is actually not much different from those hillbillies who have just entered the Golden City.

On the contrary, when Rod heard this name, his face quickly sank.

"Christie, are you sure?"

“………… Well, I'm sure oh, Rod......... That's what the sister said to the coachman......... Said it was going to the place on Barbero Street........."

Saying this, Christie also stretched out her hand and gestured in front of Rod, as if she was imitating something. But compared to this, Lijie was more surprised, she didn't know that Christie's ears were so smart, at that time Alanson was not very close to them, and she deliberately lowered her voice, Lijie didn't hear what she was saying, she didn't expect to be listened to by Christie. She was about to say something more, but after peeking into Rod's expression, Lijie was stunned.

At this moment, Rod's face was pale.

Although he is also expressionless on weekdays, as long as he gets along for a long time, it will be easy to notice, in fact, Rod is not really expressionless, but many times his emotions are not reflected through his expression, but now, Rode's expression can be said to be very obvious Tie Qing.

Unlike the ignorant Lijie and Christie, Rhodes knew exactly what that Barbero Street was.

There is light and darkness, and this is also true in the Golden City. It is true that the ruling class of the Duchy of Moon is stable and popular under Lydia's leadership, but it is nonsense to think that they are saints of great goodness. There are always a few rotten and corrupt things in a cart of apples, and the same is true in the Golden City. The nobility here is no less lacking in enjoyment and depravity. And Barbero Street is the best place for the fallen aristocracy, where they enjoy pleasure and indulgence like debauched beasts, and all sorts of sins and sweet depravity await them.

In the game, Lydia was able to clear the place, and Rhodes only discovered how sinful this place was on the way to complete this task, although many parts of it were shown in a rather subtle way because it was an all-age game. But just the tip of the iceberg is enough to make people shudder. Compared with them, the literary and artistic youths in Rhodes's world who are taking drugs and holding group parties are simply weak.

So when he heard about this place from Christie's mouth, Rod's heart sank immediately, and with what he knew about Marlene, he didn't think that the girl was the kind of person who would like to enjoy the pleasures of depravity, and it was hard for him to imagine this scene. He even doubted that Marlene knew about the place, as Barbero Street was also a taboo among the nobility. Only those nobles who truly belonged to their kind were qualified to know its existence. For the other nobles, they only vaguely knew that there was such a place at most, but it was not clear where it was.

…,

But the other way around. The people in that place are certainly not good——— Rhodes is sure of that.

"When did they leave?"

"Probably......... An hour ago. ”

Perhaps frightened by Rod's seriousness, Lijie recalled it carefully, and then opened her mouth to reply, and then she looked at Rod with some uneasiness.

"Is there anything wrong with this, Mr. Rod?"

"I'll go check on the situation."

Rod didn't explain to Lijie, he reached out and patted Christie on the shoulder, then straightened his clothes and looked solemn.

"Lijie, don't tell anyone about this. I'm going to go to Marlene now, you go and see the others, don't allow anyone to leave the station, understand? ”

"I, I see, Mr. Rhodes."

Although I don't know what happened to the road. But Lijie still sensed something in Rod's tone, and she answered uneasily, and Rod nodded to the two of them, and then he turned and walked out.

Damn it!

After leaving the station, Rod's face immediately turned gloomy, and he was sure that there was absolutely something wrong with this matter. Marlene wasn't that kind of little girl, and even Christie knew that she wouldn't follow anyone casually. She is serious by nature, and she is also very assertive, and she can get her to leave the station, this person must have a good relationship with Marlene. But Rhodes wanted to break his head, and he couldn't figure out why someone dared to disadvantage Marlene in the Golden City——— did they really not know how powerful the Shania family was?

But now is not the time to think about these issues.

Rod took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and then his mind moved, and soon, a list of all the members of the mercenary group appeared in front of Rhodes, and then Rod effortlessly found Marlene's name, and then locked it. Then, an inverted triangle representing the coordinates of the position appeared in front of Rod's eyes, pointing to a complex of buildings to the west.

God forbid.

Seeing this inverted triangle symbol, Rod let out a sigh, and then he didn't hesitate at all, and the whole person turned into a shadow and flew towards the location of the coordinates quickly.

Recommend a book, summoning goddesses, which is also a summoning ......... Well, it seems to be a joyful look, the ISBN 2481363, and it is kindly recommended.
