Chapter 405: Preemptive strike

"Bang dang."

The delicate teacups were slammed against the carpet, shattered and split, and the black tea inside splashed out, seeping into the precious woolen carpet with large patches of water. But the man in front of him obviously didn't care about these at all, he stood up, and his face, which was already a little dark, was even more blue at the moment.

"Did he do it? Are you sure? ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Polk."

In the crystal ball not far in front of the man, a man wrapped in a cloak was bowing his head, bearing the angry shouts of his boss with fear on his face.

"Yes, I saw him kill little Lord Lawson, and......... And......... Lord McMullen and Lord Bull were also killed, and it was the two mages and spirit masters who had been rumored to do so. ”

"Are they really that powerful? Tell me all about what you see! ”

Hearing this, Polk breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, and was silent for a moment before he asked again. Hearing his inquiry, the other party couldn't help but tremble, and then quickly gave an answer. In front of his master, the black-robed man did not hide the slightest, and reported the entire battle process to the man in front of him word by word, and after listening to his report, Polk's face at this moment was a little less angry, on the contrary, there was a little more difference and surprise.

"I still don't dare to believe my ears, you mean, the Brute Bull was defeated by a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl without even making a move, and that girl is still a spirit master? You also say that you saw a mage come up close and defeat McMarron? Are you sure you're not dreaming? ”

"I can assure you with my soul, my lord. That girl definitely used psychics. As for the mage sister when facing Lord McMalelen——— I may not be accurate, but just looking at her fighting skills, I think she may at least have master-level strength. ”

“……………………”

Polk was silent for a moment, then he bit his lip. This time it's a big trouble, but the brute doesn't have to care, he is an old subordinate of Lawson, and he doesn't have any influence. If you die, you will die, and for Polk, the death of the brute bull is a good thing, because this guy with developed limbs and a simple mind is a diehard like old Lawson, and he is very blind to the behavior of the current reformers who hold the legs of the Council of the Kingdom of Light, plus he is simple-minded, not as calm as old Lawson, and always likes to vent his dissatisfaction, which makes the reformers very headache. So his death was a good thing for Polk.

But McMullen is different, this mage is a member of the Starlight Mage Association, although he is also a friend of Lawson, but this time, the reformers invited him to come out, originally wanting to rely on the wisdom of this adult to test the reality of the starlight. After all, after the Midsummer Festival, the reformers also saw that this nascent guild was not only not the same as themselves, but even might be a more formidable enemy than Purple Lily and Cole's Eagle. It is naturally good to be able to find out their strength and details earlier.

Originally, Polk was very confident in McMalen, because although McMullen only stepped into the outer side of the inner ring, his strength was not bad, and most of the mages had some rich means of escape, even if they encountered danger, they could escape back. Where did he think that the strength of the canary was really too much McMalen, it was just a move of seconds, McMalen was empty, but under the suppression of the level strength, he couldn't even use one thousandth, and in the end he could only hate on the spot. …,

McMullen is dead, but now, what makes Polk a headache is that this mage's status in the Star and Moon Association is not low, and now that he is dying because of his own entrustment, it is hard to guarantee whether the Star and Moon Association will give him a look. Plus the death of little Lawson...............

Rhodes expected it well, and even Polk didn't expect that young man to be so crazy, which was already tantamount to a naked open provocation and declaration of war on the southern seaports. This kind of thing has not even been done by Purple Lily and Cole's Eagle, after all, the south is a financial center, once they offend the people here, then their guild's working capital in the future will be very difficult, and there may even be a break, doesn't this young man know this?

Is he young and vigorous? Or is there something else going on?

Polk rubbed his forehead, feeling very tired, he waved his hand helplessly, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Withdraw all the people."

"Yes............ Is it everyone? ”

"That's right! Damn, let them all withdraw and leave a few people there to be in charge of monitoring, whether that guy is crazy or not, we don't have the strength to fight against a guild with two legendary realm powerhouses, let those bastards put the hood on and don't cause trouble! ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!!"

The crystal ball suddenly dimmed, and it was only then that Polk let out a long breath, and then he pushed the crystal ball to the side, was silent for a moment, and then reached out and picked up a small mallet on the table, and knocked on the bell next to the table. The bell rang out, and soon a waiter opened the door and entered the room respectfully.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the Star and Moon Mage Association."

While Polk was having a headache over how to deal with the reproaches of the Star-Moon Mage Guild, Rhodes had already taken care of all the visitors. After Little Bubblegum relented, he also consulted with the church, and finally after the discussion between the two parties, the church was willing to send fifty spiritual teachers to the fortress of the Land of Atonement to receive Little Bubblegum's "spiritual teacher training." "The time is two years, and during these two years, Rhodes can send these fifty spirit masters, and even send them to go on adventures and battles to gain a certain level of experience, and of course, if someone unfortunately dies in battle, this is also the responsibility of the church. In terms of the level of spirit masters, Lilia said that most of them are regular professionals, and there will be a small number of spirit masters with elite strength, but the number should not be too many. Rhodes didn't have any opinion on this, and the two-year period was a good thing for Rhodes, because he knew very well that it would only take another year at most, if the Council of the Kingdom of Light was really determined to be beaten by the Dark Dragon Kingdom, then this time next year would almost start a war, and at that time, with the assistance of fifty spirit masters in his fortress, the success rate would naturally be doubled. And strength is even less important to Rod, with the red and angular triple speed bonus of the Mystery Ball, even if it is only a regular professional, it is not difficult to reach the elite level in these two years of training.

After Lilia left, Rhodes received Helen and Krause and Serek respectively. Helen's intention was not what Rod expected, and he hoped to use the power of the Helen family to fund the Starlight Guild, which of course Rod refused. Although the Helen family is loyal to the Duchy of Moon, Rhodes does not have the habit of handing over the lifeblood of his guild to outsiders, not to mention that considering that a fat girl in the Helen family does not have a good impression of him, Rhodes does not plan to get too close to this family. In the end, Rhodes only made a compromise and invited the Helen family to go to the fortress to explore and excavate ores, after all, this is the old business of the Helen family, although Mace can also contribute a part of his strength, but his specialty is business after all, not mining, which is not as skilled as the Helen family. …,

Helen also knew that because of his daughter's incident, it was already difficult to have too in-depth communication with Rod now, so he didn't force anything more, so he nodded and agreed to Rode's proposal. Eventually, it was agreed that the Helen family would be responsible for the exploration, and the Starlight Guild would be responsible for monitoring and guarding their safety, and the ore excavated would be seventy-thirds, and in return, Rhodes' fortress would exempt the Helen Business Association from commercial taxes for one year.

Strictly speaking, this agreement is not very beneficial to the Helen family, but Helen herself agreed without hesitation, after all, the most important reason why he made this decision is to use it to establish a good relationship with the Starlight Guild, his abacus is the same as Mace, he is interested in the two political resources of the Starlight Guild, Lijie and Marlene, and Rod himself is also deeply appreciated by Lydia. Helen has only just taken over as the president of the Pafield Area Merchant Association, and she urgently needs a strong political force to back her up, and it is naturally very good for Helen to be able to befriend the Starlight Guild and Rhodes.

Helen's presence did not surprise Rhodes, but Krause's reaction was unexpected by Rhodes, who originally thought that the Lord of Deep Rock City and the Archon of Parfield was also here to use his political resources to make a deal with the Starlight Guild, just like Helen. But Krauser did not show such an attitude, on the contrary, in the face of Rod, he just said some very ordinary words, and finally assured Rhodes that the Pafield area would be their solid backing, as long as Rod's guild did not violate the law, then they could provide some convenience for him.

Rhodes didn't fully believe Krause's words, but in return, he also told Krauser that Starlight, as the new guild of Parfield, would work hard to supervise the mercenary group here and ensure the safety and stability of Parfield. In any case, the Mercenary Guild is still a product of the Authority, according to the provisions of the Continental Law, the number of registered mercenary guilds cannot exceed 500 people, and in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the loopholes, it is also stipulated that the number of people in a guild fortress cannot exceed 1,500 people. Considering that in the future, the church will send people, the Helen family will send people, and the business association of Metz will also send people, and I am afraid that there will be people stationed in the fortress from the side of Deep Creek Village, and these formalities will be very troublesome. Therefore, it is always good to be able to be a little more convenient and fast.

The mercenary association represented by Serek didn't give Rhodes any problems, after all, they also knew very well that the current Starlight Guild was only a newborn baby, and it was unrealistic to ask it to grow up immediately, so they just mentioned some of Rhode's questions about the basic situation of the guild and the number of people recorded, but what made Rod pay attention was that before Serek left, he once again proposed to Rod that he had to complete two five-star tasks in a year. After all, half a year has passed now, and Serek is also worried that Rod's guild will be forced to be demoted because he can't complete these two tasks. Of course, Rhodes already had a plan for this.

After sending everyone away, it was already afternoon, and it was only by this time that Rod breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Labis and Christie were already ready to pack, just waiting for Rod to take them away, but ...............

"My lord, are you alone?"

Looking at Rhodes who was alone, Cavers couldn't help but ask with some confusion, and with an embarrassed expression, he glanced at Christy and Labis who were standing beside Rhodes. Christie's salute was not much, and the girl only had a few changes of clothes on her body, except for the large easel behind her. On the contrary, there are three large bags of all kinds of large and small bags in Labis's hand, and according to Labis, this is just a small part of the salute. …,

Originally, after receiving Rod's order, Kavus thought that Rhodes would find a few mercenaries to go on the road with him, but now it seems that this is not the case. Can this adult handle so many things alone?

"Follow me."

In the face of Kavos's inquiry, Rod did not answer, on the contrary, he just waved to Kavus and Shanna, and then turned and walked towards the staircase, while the two looked at each other suspiciously, then picked up the clothes beside him and followed Rod to the bottom.

Under Rod's leadership, the group came to a room located deep in the second basement floor. It was originally used to train mercenaries and prevent the Orb of Mystery, but now that the Orb of Mystica has been removed by Rhodes, it has been transformed into the location of the Summoning Gate. As soon as they walked into the room and saw the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

What is this?

At first glance, this door is no different from those stone reliefs, but if you look closely, you will find that in the middle of this door, there is a whirlpool of magic brilliance, this vortex appears in the dark gate, like a galaxy of slow rotation.

"Your Excellency............ This ..............."

Hearing Shanna's question, Rhodes walked over to the stone door, then reached out and knocked on it.

"It's a magical portal that allows us to move between strongholds and strongholds at will......... To put it simply, through this door, we can go back and forth between the fortress of the Land of Atonement and the stronghold here, you know? ”

"There's such a thing?!"

Hearing Rod's words, both of them couldn't help but be surprised, they were not stupid, Rod's words were so clear, they naturally knew the importance of this thing. And at this moment, Shanna finally knew what to do, why Rod could quietly return to the stronghold, but he didn't notice it at all.

"I think you can see that this portal is very important. In the guild, only me, Marlene, Lijie, Annie, Seven Love, Canary, and Little Bubblegum knew about the existence of this door. Now that you know the truth, I think you know very well that this matter needs to be kept secret and no one is allowed to tell it. As for the other members of the guild, only those who have been tested and loyal to the guild are qualified to know the existence of this door. ”

At this, Rhodes paused, then turned to Shanna and Kavos.

"Shanna, you should understand that this is a top secret, and I have placed a magic guard here to sound the alarm if someone trespasses, but I still hope you can protect this secret."

"Yes, my lord, please rest assured, I will never divulge this secret."

Hearing Rod's words, Shanna immediately responded seriously, and after getting Shanna's assurance, Rod nodded, and then turned to Kavos.

"After I'm gone, Cavos, you can count your men and prepare to go to the Land of Atonement, where I promise to surprise you. Then ............"

At this, Rhodes paused, and then he turned his head to look at Christie and Labis.

"It's time for us to go......... I have a date to go on in the evening. ”
