With a soft sound of "squeak........., the wooden door in front of Rod slowly opened, and then, the sober smell of incense came from it, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and then walked into the room in front of him. It's an ordinary-looking room, the only difference is that it seems to be more cold and damp than the rest of the place, but the cold also dispels the rancid smell outside, and the interior of this room looks much more "luxurious" than the outside, of course, this is only a relative one, at least there are clean, tidy and complete tables and chairs, and heavy and soft blankets spread on them. An old man with a gauntlet figure sat curled up in it, wearing an old but clean robe, his face was thin and yellow, he held a brass goblet in both hands, and behind him stood a girl who looked to be only six or seven years old, she was wearing a dress, but rather it was a little reluctant, strictly speaking, it was a piece of cloth, and then a circle was cut in the middle and her head was put on her body. The cloth was barely enough to cover the girl's thighs, and her face was as haggard as the old man's, and she looked malnourished, and her bare limbs were almost four thin matchsticks, and she stood barefoot on the ground without shoes. At this moment, the girl was coughing softly.

Seeing Rod walk in, the girl stepped back a little uneasily, she hid behind the old man, grabbed the hem with both hands, and looked at the man in front of her vigilantly. The old man smiled a little, waved his hand, and made a gesture.

"Sit down, young man."

In the face of the old man's hospitality, Rod did not speak, on the contrary, he stared at the girl in front of him quietly and silently, moving slowly. His right hand pressed the black hilt of the sword at his waist, and his fingers with snow-white gloves moved slowly on the hilt, and feeling Rod's gaze, the girl looked more and more frightened, she hurriedly took two steps back, and instinctively looked at the old man in front of her. But Rod eventually withdrew his gaze. He took half a step forward, pulled away the chair opposite, and then sat down, and then, leaning back in the chair, crossed his hands, looked at the old man in front of him and nodded.

"I'd love to talk nonsense about the first time we met, and I've admired the daimyo for a long time, Elder. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you're going to welcome me with kindness. ”

"Hehehe, you're smart and brave, young man."

Hearing this, the old man smiled with a bit of understanding.

"I'll admit here that I did think so, but now. I don't think that way anymore. I'm sorry for being rude to you, but I hope so. For my age, please forgive me for my reckless behavior. ”

“………………………”

In the face of the old man's words, Rod did not respond, he just crossed his hands and looked at the old man quietly. For a moment the air in the room was awkwardly silent until several minutes had passed. Only then did Rod raise his eyebrows, and then a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. And with his action, I saw that the temperature in the already wet and cold room suddenly dropped again, and for a while, even white frost began to appear on the walls.

"Looks like you're not going to work with me anymore. Elders. ”

"Oh? How do you know about the Dao? ”

Hearing Rod's words, the old man was not surprised, but showed an interested look.

"If you're really going to work with me, then you won't be so polite, Elder. I still know a little about the remnants, and etiquette is not a compulsory course for you. Generally speaking, if it is not necessary to refuse, then I believe that by this time you have already made all kinds of demands to me, instead of being as secretive as you are now. ”

Then, Rod clapped his hands.

"Well, I guess it's better for us not to waste precious time............ Oh, it's rude. ”

At this, Rod paused slightly, and then he glanced at the incense plate next to him on the candle.

"Maybe I shouldn't waste such precious incense, Elder, psychedelic nectar is a rarity, but in the Land of Chaos, this thing shouldn't be so popular."

"You're ............!"

Hearing Rod's words, the old man's eyes suddenly widened, and a frightened expression appeared, but before he could make the next move, he heard a soft sound of "boom", and the dark shadow whistled through like lightning, just blinking, only heard a soft sound of "bell", and the incense that was originally grilling on the candle and exuding a little fragrance was knocked to the ground. And the pitch-black blade wrapped around the elder's neck like a poisonous snake, and the sharp blade clung to the old man's skin, just enough to cut his throat in an instant.

"I advise you not to act rashly, young lady."

Rhodes leaned forward, but his eyes were on the girl who was standing behind the old man, looking surprised and panicked at the moment.

"Everyone is a smart person, I think you should know my strength, if you don't want this elder to be in front of you, then I hope you can put down the weapon in your hand, that's right, the dagger behind you."

“………………………”

Hearing this, the girl's face suddenly sank, she no longer looked like a rabbit just now, but became cold and gloomy, and then, the girl slowly stretched out her left hand behind her back, and threw a bronze dagger that looked worn out on the ground like this.

"Good."

Seeing this, Rod nodded in satisfaction, and then he turned back to the old man.

"Then, I hope you can tell me the coordinates of the tinder, otherwise, I will know that the Tao will be taken from your head myself."

"I really didn't expect you to know how to use necromancy? Youngster? ”

Hearing Rod's words, the old man's eyes flashed with a few bright lights, and he ignored the sharp blade that was wrapping around his neck, but after putting the brass wine glass in his hand on the table, he spoke with a little amusement. Hearing the old man's inquiry, Rhodes shook his head slightly.

"No, I certainly don't have time to learn those things. But there are people I know who like it and are good at it, and I'm sure she wouldn't mind having someone do it. And satisfy your interests. ”

"Hehe, then ....................."

Although facing Rod's threat, the old man still had a soft smile, but the next moment, his face suddenly changed. I saw that the old man who was sitting on the chair just now suddenly raised his body at this moment. His hands were firmly on the armrests of the chair, and his eyes were wide as he stared at Rhodes in front of him. The former elegance and poise are gone, replaced by panic and panic.

"You're ............!!"

"That's why I said it, Elder."

Rod raised his chin triumphantly and squinted his eyes at the old man in front of him. At this moment, beside the old man, behind the girl, a petite figure wrapped in a white cloak was standing quietly, and she stretched out her right hand. The sharp blade of the wrist pressed against the girl's neck, and on the other side, Madaras, who was also dressed, reached out and pressed her hand against the old man's chest.

"Don't act rashly......... Well, two legendary realms, if you really want to fight, I must not be the opponent of the two. But I have to admit that pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is a very stupid act, I think. You've now thoroughly understood the harmfulness of it. If you hadn't pretended to be sick like this, it might have made me even more jealous. ”

"Hehe..............."

A complicated smile appeared on the old man's face. He slowly sat back in his chair, his eyes looking at the two figures that had suddenly appeared on either side, and then at the silent girl standing behind him. Then, a tired smile appeared on the old face.

"I don't think so, young man. These two are your subordinates, and it seems that you do have a lot of strength. ”

"Passing the prize."

At this time, Rod also restrained his smile and changed back to the expressionless appearance just now. Truth be told, after walking into this room, Rhodes realized that something was wrong. There was indeed the aura of a legendary powerhouse in this room, but it was fundamentally different from the one that had just watched and locked on him, although it felt somewhat similar, but it was like a long sword that had just been built and had not yet seen blood and a sharp sword that had killed countless enemies and sealed his throat with blood. Although the little girl looked younger than Christie and was malnourished, for the seasoned Rhodes, the Lands of Chaos was not a place that could be deduced by common sense! Chaos not only cuts off the connection of order, but even changes it. As a result, in the Land of Chaos, many people have very strong power from birth. And it's not like nothing else you've seen remnants of people who have just been born into the realm of legends. Because of this, the Sanctuary in the Lands of Chaos has many twisted existences. There have also been times when players have discovered a shelter that is entirely in the hands of a child. The six-year-old boy possessed the power of a powerful legendary, and he not only killed all those who opposed and cursed him, but also became the true ruler of the entire Vault. Not only that, but he also brought a large number of children to take charge of the shelter, and the adults who were older than them became their slaves. This kind of existence that seems to be like a black horror comedy is simply impossible to look at. Because of this, after instantly perceiving that the girl next to the old man had a legendary aura similar to his own, Rhodes didn't seem too surprised. However, this girl's aura was still too green, and Rod was even sure that the aura that locked him before he walked into the room just now should have come from this girl. It's green and doesn't know how to control it, no wonder it feels so blatant. The girl was coughing when she walked into the room before, apparently because of the backlash.

But on the other hand, this elder is very hidden, if it weren't for the fact that Rhodes faced not 10,000 but 8,000 legendary level players in the game, and he would have been able to instinctively feel the pressure brought by the legendary breath, then maybe he really ignored the elder's breath. But it's a pity that there is still a difference between the breath of youth, which has never been contaminated with blood, and the breath of countless killings.

In order to confirm his guess, Rhodes made a move, and sure enough, at the moment when he was attacked by Rhodes, although the old man himself was very calm, Rhodes still felt the trembling of his breath. It was as if a sharp sword hidden deep in the scabbard suddenly "snapped" out a little, and then quickly retracted, although it was only a little, but from it, the rich bloody aura was unbearable to look at.

What's even worse is that this elder actually chose to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the face of this situation......... Then Rod was disrespectful. If he hadn't put on this picture of sickness, the wind would have arrived. Rhodes wouldn't have quietly summoned Greyhill and Madaras to clean him up. Since you have to act, then just fake the show and act to the end.

"Now, can we have a good talk? Elder? ”

Thinking of this, Rod narrowed his eyes, looked at the old man in front of him proudly, and spoke.

And at this moment, the people outside the spire didn't know that their lord had just fought an invisible battle with the elders here, and under the supervision of the Seven Loves, everyone was in several circles at this moment. Resting. Along the way, their legs were already sore, and Joey was rubbing his legs while crying exaggeratedly, until he was slapped to the ground by Marfa, who couldn't look at him.

"Hahh..............."

Marlene reluctantly withdrew her gaze at Joey, and then she narrowed her eyes and stared at the scenery in front of her. In front of them, there was an eerie chaos and disorder in the Vault, and people could be seen walking around, even crawling like dogs. The expressions of these people looked so numb, as if they hadn't laughed since birth. She didn't know how to be happy, and just looking into those people's eyes like dead fish eyes made Marlene tremble and fear.

What kind of life do these people live here?

Marlene didn't even dare to think about it. And at this moment, suddenly, a childish voice sounded from Marlene's side.

"Big Sister ..............."

"Huh?"

Marlene turned her head and saw one dressed in tattered strips of cloth. A little boy, about five or six years old, was standing there, looking at himself curiously, holding a beautiful looking flower in his hand. And seeing the flower, Marlene looked at it curiously. However, she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked at the boy in front of her.

"What's the matter?"

"This. For you............... You are welcome to come here............"

The boy held the flower in his hand aloft, as if intending to offer it to Marlene. Seeing the movement of the boy in front of her, Marlene smiled slightly, and then she reached out and took the flower from the boy's hand.

"Thank you, thank you..............."

"Smack."

At this moment, suddenly a rock came from the side and hit the flower hard, and then the flower was smashed to the ground and covered with dust. Faced with this sudden scene, Marlene was slightly stunned, and then she turned around angrily, only to see Anne looking at her with a grin.

"Annie, you ..............."

Marlene turned her head, and the little boy was now gone. And the flower has been smashed by stones. This made Marlene frown, but before she could say anything to complain, Anne suddenly jumped to Marlene's side, and then, the girl's emerald green eyes stared at Marlene.

"The head of the regiment said, don't touch anything given by the people here, Sister Marlene. Have you forgotten? Anne remembers it very well, this is what the head of the regiment reminded me, Sister Marlene. ”

"But it's just a kid..............."

Marlene frowned, feeling that Anne was making a fuss, but the flames burning in Anne's emerald green eyes made Marlene take half a step back, and then she explained a little unconfidently. But after listening to Marlene's explanation, Anne still shook her head firmly.

"The regiment commander said, you can't eat, and you can't touch anything given to anyone! It's not a trip, Sister Marlene, do you want to die? ”

The flames burning in Anne's emerald green eyes grew brighter and brighter, and Marlene was surprised to find that this girl, who was always smug and active, had such a powerful sense of oppression at this moment. This made her not know what to say for a while. At this time, Li Jie, who had just reacted to what had just happened, also hurriedly came to the two of them.

"Ann, Annie, no, I think Marlene just forgot about it for a moment, nothing, nothing, right?"

"Uh-huh..............."

Anne blinked at Lijie's words, and the flames burning in her emerald green eyes gradually weakened. The girl took two steps back, and then reappeared with her usual lively smile.

"Sister Marlene is disobedient, and in a while Anne will tell the head of the regiment not to let Sister Marlene go to his bed! Hum! ”

"This ..............."

Hearing Anne's complaint, Marlene's face froze, and Lijie next to her blushed directly to the root of her ears, she glanced at the side, only to see that Soth and John were tacitly discussing the moon outside is really round, whether you can see the meteor shower today, well, it should, probably not hear them talking. On the other side, Qilian smiled and stretched out her finger against her chin, looking at the three of them with a good look, and her strange eyes also made Marlene and Lijie unable to say half a word.

"What are you guys messing about?"

Just as the atmosphere of the three of them became awkward, Rod's voice broke the silence, and he slowly walked out of the spire, came to the front of the three of them, and glanced at the people in front of him. And seeing Rod come out, the others also stopped talking at this moment and looked at Rod in front of them. Soon, Rhodes gave an answer.

"There's no time to rest now, get ready for battle." (To be continued......)
