Summoning the Holy Sword

When Rhodes walked into the lobby of the Golden City, he could feel the eyes of many nobles on his and Li Jie's body for a moment, but that was only a moment, and then they regained their eyes and began earnestly. Talk up. Lydia ’s banquet was chosen to be held on the evening of the 15th day of the evening light. These nobles rushed back to the Golden City to attend the banquet before that. Of course, they also knew that this banquet was not just a one-time event. The grand dinner was a sweet and delicious cake. This time the royal army was composed of aristocratic private soldiers and legions. When Rhodes participated in the defense of Pafield, he was also in the name of a private aristocratic soldier rather than a simple mercenary. After this change, it is conceivable that the upper ranks of the Southern Navy Fleet and the Southern Army will be re-washed. Although the current Southern Army Commander did not participate in the rebellion and was placed under house arrest by the reformists because of opposition to the rebellion, everyone knows that, Just a "poor monitoring" was enough for him to get out of this post.

However, the affairs of the military have little to do with the aristocracy. The tradition of the Principality of Muen has always been the return of the military to the nobles, so even if the Southern Army has suffered a great loss, it can be imagined that the royal family will eventually choose from other The Legion recruited members who performed well in this battle to fill their vacancies. So they ca n’t get involved in the military affairs. This time, the nobles are most concerned about the part left by the nobles and businessmen in the south. They have been jealous of this cake for a long time, but unfortunately they have never found any suitable excuses before, but now --- since the other party seeks its own way, they are not convenient to stop, right? Brave advancers, you can rest assured to go boldly, and leave the rest of you to me for safekeeping.

Although Rhodes had a low title, and in this civil war, his performance was not as dazzling and outstanding as Marlene. On the surface, he was a soy sauce, except for the clouds and fog on the front of Pafield. In addition to several outstanding performances in the fortress and defense of the top fortress, Rhodes disappeared and disappeared. On the bright side, his biggest success was nothing more than assisting General Garcia in defending the two offensives of the Southern Army—one of which Li Jie was in charge of, and even the battle was not counted by Rhodes. In addition, the only shot he took was to capture General Dade, the commander of the ranks in the Southern Army, which is also the only highlight of Rhodes's resume in this war.

From this point of view, Rhodes's martial arts are not significant, and he is worse than Marin, but the nobles have their own news circles and collection channels. Of course, they are very clear. Germany's results did not seem to be dazzling, but in the back ground, it is rumored that the fires in the Grosso area and the mining collapse in the Fiat mountain area were inextricably linked to him, and these were quickly resolved in this civil war The root cause. The rebels' ability to lose food supplies naturally diminished, and after the Royal Fleet blocked the southern harbour, the reformers were unable to build enough weapon armor to support the front line because they lost the ore produced by Fiat, and even in the end Karens When the special defender broke out, many people had not eaten for several days, and all they had were remnants that had already been rolled or simply just sticks.

This kind of combat effectiveness will not be clear in the face of the King ’s party army who is ready to work, eat and drink, and has sufficient and sophisticated magic guide equipment.

However, these are only passed on privately in the aristocratic circle. Lydia also hides this very deeply. There are not many nobles who can detect this, but their identity and influence are also large enough. These people are very clever and know that this kind of thing can't be arbitrarily spoken, so at the moment when they face the arrival of Rhodes, they are not particularly enthusiastic, and they are not too disdainful-you can guess with a little brain Then, since Lydia left Rhodes to do such an important thing, then it means that the mysterious and powerful young man is likely to be a new force that cannot be ignored in the royal party.

At this moment, the banquet has not yet begun. The nobles are talking and waiting in the lobby below the Golden City, but no one comes up to chat with Rhodes, and Rhodes does not mean to join those noble circles. Although in name, he is indeed a member of the aristocracy, even if it is only a low-level jazz title. But unfortunately, in fact, Rhodes and these nobles are not very familiar. He has been busy operating the Atonement Land, operating his own guild, and completing various tasks. From now on, Rhodes is still a maid. Bing is more like a nobleman. He didn't have the time or leisure to invite those nobles to visit his territory as a guest to connect with each other, let alone to come to the other side for tea and chat.

So up to now, even if the nobles really want to meet this outstanding young man and the strength behind him, they can only give up because the two sides are not familiar enough. Not to mention that Rhodes' previous performance at the Midsummer Festival has made many people see that he is a tough and dangerous character. Such people do not act lightly until he understands his interests and hobbies. On the horse's legs, failing to win over the relationship instead provokes itself to an enemy with an extremely strong background. That ’s how hard it is. As the saying goes, people do n’t die if they do n’t die — they have n’t lived yet. Enough.

Because of this, many aristocrats in the King's Party carefully chose to keep their distance from Rhodes, and Rhodes did not rush to the crown because he was ignored. On the contrary, he enjoyed this quiet time. At this moment, Rhode stayed away from the crowd and leaned in a relatively remote corner of the hall with his eyes closed. Followed by him are Li Jie and Anne—Kelina, as the representative of the country of elves, this time with Rhodes came naturally not to attend the banquet, but to report to Lydia about herself Regardless of this transfer, as an important member of the elf dominion, she came to the Principality of Munn to say hello to the ruler.

Although this is a very sacred and solemn occasion, Annie's performance is not sacred and serious at all. Her favorite is liveliness and food. Now it is not lively, and the banquet has not yet begun, and no food can be seen. So Annie simply lay on the bench next to her, curled up her body, her arms folded between her legs, and she slept asleep on her heavy gold shield.

This look is not elegant, but fortunately a few people are in a remote corner and not many people see it. Even if someone saw it, it was just a helpless smile, and of course they would not touch Rod's mold because of such a trivial matter-they have not lived enough.

Generally speaking, Li Jie should come forward at this time to remind Annie not to sleep so sweetly in the eyes of everyone. Although Annie's sleeping face is cute, but also look at the current environment and occasions ... but Li Jie didn't do this, because at the moment, she is also being distracted.

The reason Li Jie walked away was almost the same as that of Rhodes, and that was Malin.

Now Li Jie was very entangled in her heart, she didn't know how to explain to Marin what was happening in front of her. And Li Jie was not able to discuss it with Rhodes, because it was not a problem between her and Rhodes. It was a problem between her and Marlene.

In the spiritual world, Rhodes once acknowledged that she had a relationship with Marlene in the face of Li Jie's spirit, and because of this, Li Jie's spiritual avatar will be completely violent, thus giving Rhodes a chance Machine. After returning to reality, although Rhodes never mentioned it again, Li Jie realized this relationship subconsciously. In fact, it ’s been a long time since Rhodes and Marilyn became close, but Li Jie had no love experience at that time, so looking at the two people a little closer was only considered to be their relationship, although there were At that time, Li Jie instinctively felt that something was not right, but she couldn't say one two three four five.

But now, after you have experienced it yourself, you can think about it, and you can naturally perceive their relationship.

Although Li Jie has now eliminated the magic barrier in her heart with the help of Rhodes, this matter still makes her feel a little embarrassed, and she enters Rhodes' arms while Marin is absent. If Marin knew about this, what would she think? Before Li Jie was disturbed by her own thoughts, she had no time to think about it. And now, when she calmed down, she realized that she had to face greater trouble after facing her heart.

The only luck is that Dragon Soul Mainland does not practice monogamy, and Li Jie is also very clear that there are many similar things among the nobles. If two good friends fall in love with the same man, their family Without objection, they can marry each other together. Not only that, there are also many weird rumors in the aristocracy circle. For example, Li Jie once heard that the young lady of the Chelton family liked it very much, and even said that she loved her good friend and was born in the Berlinton family. So after the eldest daughter of the Berlinton family married, Miss Chelton also chose to marry that man, so as to realize her "curve to save the country" dream that she can still be with good friends.

This is on the one hand, to avoid the soap operas often appearing sisters, relatives and friends who fall in love with the same man, but are entangled to die between love and friendship, and the third-rate plot is finally turned into enmity. In fact, she did not worry that Marlene would let herself leave Rhodes after she learned of the inside. But for Li Jie, her behavior of "stealing" without consulting with Marlene in advance still made her very blame, for fear of destroying the friendship between herself and Marlene. After all, two people grew up together and had close and intimate feelings. If there is a crack in it, it is not a good thing for Li Jie.

Everyone has their own ideas. In this intricate and intertwined thoughts, time has passed in the past, and more and more aristocrats have come to the lobby. Among them, there are some big nobles who have a good reputation. At this time, The crowd also surrounded them and began to talk to the big nobles. In this civil war, in addition to the Northern Army, the King ’s army naturally occupies the three main families of the Principality of Muen. After this civil war, although many nucleus forces have risen, everyone is clear, The three major families still dominate. And at this celebration feast, the three big families will naturally get a lot of rewards and benefits, and as long as they know some of them and support them, then they can have a good relationship with the three big families. This is for those nobles. That said, it is very important.

Rhode opened his eyes as he leaned against the wall, looking at the nobles, and frowned slightly. He can see that these people are happy and grateful for the end and victory of this civil war, but what is so good about this? For Rhodes, the war between the royal party and the reformists could not even be called a war, at most it was the extent of local disputes. But now, they are full of confidence, and even show some arrogance. Then when the Dragon Kingdom of the Night and the Kingdom of Light are at war and the undead army is under pressure, what kind of reaction will they have?

Lydia is a good ruler, but what about the people under her?

Thinking of this, Rhodes shook his head involuntarily, and what she could think of, Lydia could think of it, so she didn't need to worry about her here, she knew better than herself what to do.

And at this moment, suddenly, Rhodes felt a lot quieter around him. He subconsciously raised his head and looked in the direction of the hall. Soon, Rhodes saw a figure he couldn't be more familiar with.

Marilyn.

At this moment, Marin is no longer wearing the mage robes seen by Ping Yue Li Luod. Instead, she is wearing a luxurious wine-red dress, and the compact dress supports the girl's slender waist, showing To her wonderful body curve. Circles of frills slanted sideways from top to bottom, interweaving across Marin's dress, bringing a bit of mystery and nobility, not only that, Rhodes could also be seen beside the girl, faintly The twinkling of magic flashed magic light, and the silver lines flickered over Marin's side, guarding her like circles. Seeing this, Rhodes raised his eyebrows.

It seems more than just escalating after this war.

After Malin came to the hall, she soon attracted the attention of many nobles, and many young aristocrats looked at her in front of her. In a short time, I saw those nobles coming to Marlene's side, greeting her diligently, and admiring Marin's achievements in this war-they were not fools, It can be imagined that after this civil war, with Marin's outstanding performance, no matter what decision Lydia makes, she will definitely get a generous reward. If you can have a good relationship with her early, it will be very helpful for the future of her family. Some young aristocrats even started to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Marlene, and eventually won the beauty in one fell swoop.

In the face of those nobles, Marin's performance was as calm and calm as ever. She just had a calm smile. No matter how the other party praised and praised her performance, the girl did not change at all. Just then, Rhodes suddenly saw a young man in a black dress and a handsome person walking out of the crowd and came to Marin's side, stretched out an arm to her and bowed down respectfully, What was said. When she heard the other party's words, Marin frowned slightly, then suddenly she seemed to be aware of something, turned her head and looked towards Rhode. After seeing Rhodes, the smile on Malin's face became brighter and more charming, and then she turned around and walked towards Rhodes.

Marin's every move naturally attracted the attention of the nobles. They followed Marin's sight and looked at Rhodes, but they were all helpless, but then, Marin's actions let all the nobles present. They were all surprised.

Seeing Marin approaching herself, Rhodes still leaned against the wall, nodded to Marlene and said hello. According to his understanding of Marin, the girl should respond very politely on such a formal occasion. At this time, Li Jie also looked back from her maze of thoughts, and saw Malin walking towards them, Li Jie showed a somewhat embarrassing smile, and then she waved at Marin.

"Marin, it's been a long time ..............."

Li Jie's words did not finish, because at this time, Marin had already walked in front of Rhodes, and then she made an action that was unexpected to everyone-the girl hugged Luo tightly like this De, then raised his head, tiptoe, and blocked Rhodes' lips.

The air was frozen at this instant.

Li Jie stared at Malin dullly, not knowing what to say. And the nobles were also wide-eyed in surprise at this moment, and couldn't believe it. In the face of Marin's move, Rhodes was just a little stunned, but soon he stretched out his hands and embraced the slender and delicate body of the girl in his arms.

The scent of the girl was blowing on her face, and Rhodes could feel the soft and petite tongue tangling of Malin, turning, and the hot breath was blowing on the face, Malin closed her eyes tightly, and a little flush appeared on the white and delicate cheek You can hear the girl's groaning faintly --- I don't know how long it took before the two finally separated again.

"Welcome really warmly, Marlene. Looks like you didn't find another man."

Rhode raised his head, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, and said softly. Hearing Rhode's words, Marin blinked her eyes playfully and then asked with a smile.

"How do you know? Rhodes?"

"Your reaction is what I taught you. There has been no change. Of course I am very confident."

Speaking of this, Rhodes hugged Marin's right hand and suddenly stretched out her forefinger, sliding gently on her smooth spine behind her, and feeling Rhodes' movement, Marin's body suddenly tightened. Rhode glanced at Malin slightly, then released his hands.

"Sure enough, it is the same as before, without any change."

Rhodes tidy up his clothes, and then looks behind Marilyn, where time seems to be frozen, all the aristocrats stood in stunned, as if they had seen a nightmare before.

"It seems that you have worked really hard. In all aspects ... Is this a punishment for me?"

On the one hand, Rhode swept across the crowd and looked at one of them meaningfully. It was the young nobleman who had stepped out of the crowd and made an invitation to Marin attentively. At this moment, his face was blue, his eyes were bloodshot and red Stared at himself. However, Rhodes didn't even show the slightest interest in it, just glanced at the other side and retreated.

"Whoo, I know you understand, Rhodes."

Hearing Marin's words, Rhodes shrugged. Rarely did Marin once have a bird like this relying on him. It seems that the old ancestor's famous saying "Xiaobie wins the wedding" still makes sense. Previously, Ma Lin met with her every day, but only when the two were alone, would they relax and show the side of the little woman. It's really rare now to do so blatantly in the public.

"Lie Jie, it's been a long time."

In an affectionate and fierce kiss, Marlene finally seemed to relax, and she returned to her old look, greeting Li Jie with a smile. And this time Li Jie's performance was a little bit embarrassed. She just nodded awkwardly and didn't say much. But before she was going to say anything, Marin looked at Annie who was sleeping. Seeing Annie's innocent smiley face, Marlen smiled slightly, then reached out and stroked Annie's hair.

"Annie still likes to sleep so much, I didn't expect that she could sleep so safely in Gold City ..."

"Woo ......... um ........."

As if she felt the touch of Marin, the originally sleeping Annie frowned slightly, then she opened her eyes stupidly. After seeing the person in front of her, the girl immediately showed a pleasant smile.

"Sister Marin! Long time no see! Annie misses you so much !!!"

Talking, Annie jumped over and jumped up, then hugged Marlene tightly, and then separated again a moment later.

"Sister Marin, what did you do during this time? It was boring without you at Anne. Everyone misses you very much. When are you coming back?"

Upon hearing Annie's inquiries, Rhodes raised her eyebrows slightly, but Marlene's expression remained unchanged. She just nodded to Anne, and then walked to Rhode's side, and reached out and held Rod gently Arm.

"Lord, Lord Father has already gone to meet His Highness ahead of time. The banquet is about to begin, let's go."

"The banquet is about to begin?"

After hearing this, Annie immediately put her previous problem behind her, and she came to Marlene with a short step, her eyes glowing at her.

"Annie heard that there were so many delicious meals at the party? Isn't it?"

"Of course, enough for you to eat, Annie."

"Great!"

Hearing Marin's answer, Annie jumped up in excitement.

"What are we waiting for, head, go!"

Looking at the three figures, Li Jie was hesitant. She looked up and stared at Malin. But at the moment, Marlene was smiling and talking to Annie, and she didn't notice herself. But ......... I, I have no intention of giving in, Marin. I will confess everything to you.

Thinking of this, Lijie walked silently to Rhode's left side, then she reached out and held Rhode's other arm. Then Lijie bit her lip, and then she looked up and looked at the man beside her.

"Let's go, Mr. Rhodes."
