Chapter 284: Lydia's Suggestion
If it were in the game, Rhodes would definitely summon Celia and Selestina out, and then take a few photos and upload them to the forum, or walk around the street with two summoned elves, which will definitely cause a sensation among players——— because this is undoubtedly the same as hitting the face of the game production company, after all, in the game setting of the Dragon Soul Continent, angels and demons are mortal enemies. As soon as they meet, one of them must fall first, otherwise it will never end. Not to mention, these two sides are still called sisters, and if Selestina is a fallen angel, then maybe it is slightly easier to understand. After all, fallen angels are also a type of angels, and they may also fall for some unknown reason or conspiracy. But what is in front of him is a real devil, and he is also a high-level devil, in the devil's world divided by bloodline and strength, it is absolutely impossible for a hybrid race to appear. Then it's very strange, Celia doesn't have any symbol of the devil, she can be seen to be a pure angel. And Celestina is pure devil......... Now that an angel wants to call a devil sister, Rhodes believes that this must be the biggest news, enough to make players spend months trying to figure out the inside story, and at the same time slap the game production company's face.........
But it's a pity that now he can only keep such exciting news in his heart, not only that, but Rhodes must also be very careful to avoid being discovered by others——— in the game, players have no faith at all, so this kind of thing is at most a gossip for them, and then use it to draw the game company's settings. But in the realm of the real world, faith is very popular, let alone a principality controlled by an archangel under the light of the dragon soul of light. Naturally more sensitive to this. Rhodes can be sure if Selestina's identity is revealed. Then you definitely don't have any good fruit to eat. In the worst-case scenario, he may even have to go into exile in the Dark Dragon Kingdom. Although it was not difficult for Rod, he certainly did not want to give up everything he had worked so hard to do because of this kind of thing.
But fortunately, as a high-level devil, Selestina is still very personified, and no matter how hard they try, low-level devils will have some traces, such as scales on their faces, triangular ears, lizard-like tails, and bat wings. and sharp horns on the forehead. These are very obvious. There is simply no way to eliminate. And among the devils, there are only the devils of the Grand Duke of Hell and the Earl and Marquis class——— such devils are not something that ordinary people can deal with.
In fact, Rhodes is also very curious about the identity of Celestina, judging from her own performance, she must belong to the devil nobles in hell, but from her own strength. Rod felt that it was a little unawesome——— the level of attack 10 defense and 9 was only slightly higher than that of Celia, and judging from the description of this card, this young lady was not like Qilian, because of the level suppression, so the strength was weakened.
From this point of view, Rhodes is more inclined to believe that this could be a "potential card".
The so-called potential cards refer to cards that are not strong at the moment, but have a high growth degree. For the same card, ordinary summoned elves can only add 1 or 2 points of attack and defense at most each time, but potential cards can add 3 or 4 points at a time. Even higher. In this way, the advantages are very obvious.
Thinking about it this way, Rhodes also has a general understanding of Selestina's identity, she may indeed be of noble birth, but the strength that sleeps in the blood has not been able to be fully exerted, so she is not very strong now. And when he interacted with this eldest lady before, Rhodes was also keenly aware that compared with some devils, she was still a little less old and skilled, which proved that this eldest lady probably didn't have much experience in this area. …,
If that's the case, then it's a good thing for Rod, a devil who has just been born for a short time is not a big threat to Rod, and if it's those old and cunning guys, then it's hard to say............ But for now, Selestina hasn't shown the part that worries Rod.
In that case, then everything is easy to say.
At this moment, Rhodes has begun to think deeply in his heart about how to "train" this arrogant devil lady into an obedient summoning elf.
So Rod put this matter behind him for the time being, and began to focus on finding the right equipment for himself again.
But he didn't know it, and at the same time, in the heart of the Duchy of Moon, it was a different scene.
The white jade floor reflected a hazy brilliance under the warm magical light, reflecting the splendor and beauty of the room, Lawn was a little overwhelmed and put down the crystal glass teacup inlaid with a golden border in his hand, although the black tea inside was very delicious, the fragrance of herbs combined with the unique bitterness of black tea gave people an unusually refreshing enjoyment. But Lawne is not in the mood to enjoy it at all, and the reason is very simple.
"I see what you mean, Your Highness."
He lowered his head and stared at the graceful reflection on the ceiling.
"As the president of the mercenary association Moon, on behalf of the mercenary association, I apologize to you for the recent series of incidents, I have sent someone to thoroughly investigate the cause of this incident, and I will assure you that this incident will have a happy ending."
"I hope so, President Lawn."
Lydia put down the teacup in her hand, and at the same time reached out and picked up the cake on the table, on the surface, she was just drinking afternoon tea with her guests, but only the person concerned knew that this afternoon tea was not leisurely at all.
Although Lydia is not very old, and she has only been in power for a few years in the Duchy of Moon, she has already left a very deep impression on everyone. Even if it was like Lawn, as the president of the mercenary association Moon Association, an old man who had worked hard here for decades, he didn't dare to look down on this girl because of her age and her identity. Not to mention, Lawne himself knows very well in his heart that these recent things are really too troublesome.
Needless to say, the situation in Parfield. The predicament is unprecedented. Nearly destroyed the foundation of the Mercenary Guild there. But the rest of the world is not peaceful, but fortunately. There are four major mercenary guilds in other regions, and it's always better.
But Lawne was not reassured by this, because he knew very well that some things were actually caused by some of the four mercenary groups...............
Of course, none of these incidents are serious when viewed individually. It was only after receiving all the reports that Lawn, who was the president of the Mercenary Association Moon, realized how serious this was. He could see that there was an attempt to do something with the mercenary group and the mercenary guild, which the Duchy of Moon obviously did not want to see.
In a lot of the time. Lydia is actually a very enlightened monarch. She is mostly laissez-faire, rarely pointing fingers in areas other than herself. But now, she actually talked to herself about this issue, which means that the problem itself has extended to the area ruled by Lydia. It may even have caused a very bad image for her.
As soon as he thought of this, Raun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, although the teacup in his hand still exuded a sweet smell, and the cream mousse cake in front of him was still so appetizing. However, I don't know what Lu Dao is about, but Raun felt a chill to the bone. He even began to secretly doubt in his heart, could it be that His Highness suspected that he was not managing well, and planned to run himself directly and then find someone else to manage the mercenary association! …,
But now Lydia's statement finally relieved the president of the old mercenary association. Although on the surface, Lydia was the age of his granddaughter, but in front of the most powerful ruler of the Duchy of Moon, Raun did not dare to raise his head in the slightest.
"Of course I believe in the strength of the Mercenary Guild, and I look forward to your response, after all. We have been working together for so many years, and I naturally don't want this cooperation to change at any point........."
Hearing this, Lawne finally completely relieved, he understood what this highness really meant, and this was enough for him. But before he had time to express his enthusiasm and persistence, the girl who was originally lazy and half-lying on the red velvet sofa, leisurely savoring, chuckled lightly at the moment.
"Until then, though, I have one more thing that I would like to see your help with, President Lawn."
"Whatever I can, please do as you ask."
Hearing this, Lawne immediately cheered up, and he even raised his head for the first time and looked directly at the girl in front of him, while showing a respectful expression. But soon, what Lawne heard next almost made him lose his temper.
"I hope this Midsummer Festival can be held in the Golden City instead, what do you think of this proposal?"
"This ..............."
Hearing Lydia's proposal, Lawne was slightly stunned, but soon, he gasped deep inside.
"Your Highness, Your Highness......... I'm afraid this is a bit difficult to do, because the association has decided to hold this midsummer festival in Clais Hilde, the notice has already been sent, and we have been preparing for this for a long time........."
"None of this is a problem, of course I know that for the Mercenary Association, these preliminary preparations have taken a lot of your energy."
Lydia interrupted Lawn with a grin, and judging by her expression, the girl was completely innocent and romantic, and did not understand the world.
"But I think a festival like this would be even more lively if it were held in the Golden City, wouldn't it? Please rest assured, President Lawn, that I will open the Holy Arena as the venue for this Midsummer Festival. Not only that, but I will also prepare everything needed for this midsummer festival for the Mercenary Association, and of course, we will also compensate you in full for the loss of preparing for this festival. ”
Lydia is an understatement, but she does have this confidence, although this girl has only been on the throne for a few years, but many people know very well that this Royal Highness has a set of "running the country", and now the glory of the Duchy of Moon and the improvement of the overall wealth have her figure——— of course, this Royal Highness also has a very bad place, that is, she never cares about spending money, according to Lydia's theory, the money is earned by her, so how she wants to spend it is her own business. This is also a channel for many people to criticize her, because in the eyes of many people, even though Lydia has led the Duchy of Moon for so many years, making the per capita GDP increase several times, she is the leader of a country. It should not be luxurious, but thrifty. What's more, this eldest lady is still the archangel, doesn't she know that "extravagance" is also a sin?
But this eldest lady really didn't take this matter to heart!
No matter how criticized by the outside world, she still goes her own way, and the money she should spend has never been less, and some people have even made statistics that every year in the grand duke's "hobbies", at least millions of gold coins are spent. If you look at it this way, it is indeed easy to give people the impression that Lydia is arrogant and extravagant, and is good at enjoyment.
But if you compare it with the almost astronomical annual income of the Duchy of Moon, it is not even a dime. Strictly compared, it is only about the same as those ordinary nobles. In fact, if this eldest lady is a little more low-key, no one will pick on this aspect. However, Lydia is a picture of "I enjoy it with righteousness, why should I sneak around like a thief", and it is no wonder that some people are dissatisfied with her, after all, no matter what era it is, there are people who hate the rich. Not to mention that Lydia, as the Grand Duke of a country, is already very sensitive, so naturally there are always all kinds of rumors slandering on this. ..., but in the game, Lydia is very popular with players, compared to those who push back after completing the mission, and find all kinds of reasons. The Grand Duchess has always been generous with mission rewards, and if you do well, she'll even have extra rewards to give. This naturally made the player have an infinite affection for her. Not to mention that Lydia is the best at making big shows, and it also satisfies the player's self-esteem.
Of course, Raun didn't count, he didn't have the qualifications or the guts to be dissatisfied with Lydia. And he also knew very well that this highness had the best way to hold this kind of celebration and activities, and she actually agreed to open the Holy Arena! The Holy Soul is above, it is the holy place of all the warriors in the Principality of Moon!
Raun was not a fool, and of course he understood that if Lydia's terms were accepted, then this Midsummer Festival would definitely be the center of attention! And the prestige of their mercenary association will also be taken to a higher level!
But...............
What made Lawne wonder why His Highness would suddenly make such a request, although she used to like to join in the fun, and she had personally visited the Midsummer Festival several times. However, he has never proposed to hold a midsummer festival by himself, so what is the idea of this highness this time?
Of course, although there were doubts in his heart, Lawne was not an idiot to really ask this question, although he wanted to refuse, but Lawne himself knew very well that this was an offer that there was no way to refuse——— and Lydia was not suggesting it to him at all.
"I understand what you mean, Your Highness, I will send someone to prepare it immediately."
"Good."
Receiving Lawn's answer, Lydia smiled with satisfaction.
"Then, then, I have a small request for this midsummer festival..............." (Your support from the famous academy is my biggest motivation.) )
