Chapter 60 Unexpected Visitors
At this moment, Keller felt that Rhode's identity was becoming more and more complicated. In fact, at the beginning, he did not take Rhode's aristocratic identity too seriously, because the nobles were also divided into different levels. Many times, as long as he had money, he could get a low-level aristocratic title. And I heard that Rhode came from Dongfangshanyuan, and the direction of that place was ancient and closed, and his own system was formed. So Keller did not pay much attention to this matter. But now, he had to change his opinion again. In any case, being able to know the people of the Shania family was definitely not something that ordinary nobles could do. The Shania family was powerful and had an influence that could not be underestimated throughout the Moon Duke. Although the Keller family was rich, compared with the former, it was like a small fish struggling to survive on the mouth of a big fish, and could only live by gnawing shrimps.
Keller, the name of Marlene Shania, was naturally heard of. A magic genius in the family who was rare in a century, had reached the Central Realm at a young age, and her future was unlimited. There were even rumors that she was likely to join the Palace Mage Guard in the future. Such a character is naturally not Yiyou. Now seeing her standing behind Rhodes, does this imply that Rhodes' identity is higher than her?
If Marlene knew what Keller was thinking at this moment, she would have turned her back and furiously fireballs to make this ignorant guy sober up. In fact, the reason why she stood behind Rhode was just to make some whispers to Lijie. As for her status... at least Marlene thinks she is higher than everyone present, right?
Keller, who knew nothing about this, became more respectful after that, and invited the three of them to attend the seat in a whisper. His performance also attracted a lot of discussion among guests. After all, Keller is a person in Deep Rock City. It is rare to see such a humble voice, which makes everyone even more curious about the identities of Rhodes and others.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Keller arranged the three of them to be right next to Serek. When he saw Rod and others, the swordsman stood up with a smile and greeted them.
"Hello, Mr. Rod, I really didn't expect to meet you here."
"Hello, Mr. Serek."
Rhodes held Serek's reaching hand and nodded slightly.
"If it weren't for Mr. Keller's invitation, I don't think I would have had the chance to come here."
"Oh? That's right."
Hearing Rhode's answer, Serek smiled and said nothing more. Then he looked at Marlene standing beside Rhode with a hint of accusation.
"I've heard from Hank, Miss, you've made this decision...some..."
"I don't think I've done anything wrong, Uncle Serek."
Marlene raised her chin proudly.
"You also know that my father sent me here to get exercise. But I was always locked up in the house, which did not do me any benefit. I thought Mr. Rhode could help me, so I chose to join his mercenary group, and we completed the task smoothly, everything was perfect, right?"
"If you have a few things, I really don't know how to explain it to your father."
Serek shook his head with a wry smile. But Marlene obviously didn't appreciate it.
"I will naturally give an explanation to my father if I make my own decision."
She replied with a little dissatisfaction, then grabbed Lijie's hand and turned away.
"Oh... What a young lady who is willing to do it..."
Looking at Marlene's departure back, Serek sighed helplessly, then turned his head and looked at Rhodes.
"Then the child, please, Mr. Rod, I hope you can take good care of her. This lady still has the ability and is too proud of her. It's no wonder that she has that strength and talent, and has such qualifications. However, in this world, strength and talent are not everything. If she continues like this, I'm afraid she will suffer."
Speaking of this, Serek suddenly approached Rhodes and lowered his voice.
"After that, we have recently received a strange intelligence. The spies from the Kingdom of Light are asking around for a young man with black hair who can use strange summoning elves."
Hearing this, Rhode raised his eyebrows slightly. But he didn't say anything, because Serek obviously had some more words.
"Is there any problem between you and them?"
Serek's tone was very stable and nothing unusual, but his eyes were looking at Rhodes carefully, trying to see something from the calm face.
But in the face of Serek's inquiry, Rhode just shook his shoulders and shook his head.
"It's hard to say, Mr. Serek."
Rhodes narrowed his eyes and gave an ambiguous answer.
"I don't think I'm doing anything that deserves so much attention."
Hearing Rhode's answer, Serek was silent for a moment, then his mouth slightly raised and patted Rhode's shoulder.
"I understand, don't worry, this place is not a country of light after all, and those bastards dare not do anything openly. Be careful of everything is not harmful. In addition, I hope that no matter what problems you have with the country of light, don't involve Marlene. The child's identity is very sensitive. Although the problems between the country of light have not been a day or two, if possible, don't make a big deal."
Hearing Serek's words, Rhode couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The complex relationships and grudges between the Duchy of Moon and the Kingdom of Light have lasted for many years. Although they are in the same alliance camp, the conflicts between the two sides are quite deep. The reason is that it has to be traced back a long time ago.
Although the Kingdom of Light is nominally a country, it is more like an alliance. When the country was first created, the first generation of the Dragon of Light formed a parliament, with the participation of the lords of the thirteen territories, and finally formed a unified centralized regime. Due to opposition to the totalitarian rule of the Dragon of the Dark Night, the Dragon of Light chose a different path. It delegated all rights to the Parliament, and any affairs about the state were decided by the Parliament collectively.
But the Principality of Moon is the exception.
In terms of system, the Duchy of Mun and the Kingdom of Light are far from each other, and it can even be said that it is closer to their mortal enemy, the Kingdom of Night. In addition, the geographical advantages of the Duchy of Mun are quite obvious. As the gateway area of the Kingdom of Light, the well-connected network and rivers and lakes ensure its prosperity. Not to mention that after discovering a large number of magic crystal minerals, the wealth of the Duchy of Mun is even more jealous.
The Kingdom of Light has always been quite jealous of the Duchy of Mun who has so many benefits. They have tried their best to make the relationship between the Duchy of Mun and the Kingdom of Light "more intimate". On the other hand, they are quite disdainful of the achievements made by the Duchy of Mun, believing that they would eventually drag the entire country into the abyss when they learn from the evil tyranny of the Kingdom of Night. Therefore, in between words, the Kingdom of Light always looks down on the Duchy of Mun, and occasionally pulls them out to criticize and criticize. In their mouths, the Duchy of Mun became the capital of criminals, and their wealth was exchanged for evil plunder. The Kingdom of Light boasted itself as a kind savior, trying to save this "evil neighbor" from the "quagmire of sin" and live a life like them. However, the Duchy of Mun always refused this kind of kindness towards the Kingdom of Light, which made them very helpless.
This is naturally a shot when Moon's Principality lies down. They ask themselves that they have no stealing, no force, and no tricks to take advantage of it. There is no reason to be so despised by the people of the Kingdom of Light. Is it wrong to live a good life? How can this be true?
It is precisely because of this that the people in the Duchy of Mun have no good feelings for the Kingdom of Light. In addition, the Kingdom of Light has always relied on its own possession of the Dragon Hun to protect the earth, and treating itself as a savior, which also makes them complain.
Moreover, there have never been few small actions in the Duchy of Moon in the Kingdom of Light. They always hope that they can pull down the current "disobedient" leader, and then incorporate the entire land into the territory of the Kingdom of Light, so that their people can enjoy the true "glory of freedom".
It is precisely because of this relationship that there have always been many frictions between the two countries, and most of these things are resolved under the siege, so in Serek's opinion, this is not a big problem.
But only Rhodes knew that this time, the Kingdom of Light was playing with fire.
The elegant music sounded.
After thanking Serek, Rhode walked to the window, held a wine glass in his hand, and looked at the night view outside the window seriously.
At that moment, he did think of telling all of this, the plot of the Kingdom of Light, what is happening now, and what is likely to happen in the future. But in the end, he still said nothing in the face of Serek. After all, this matter is important, and there is no evidence for nothing. Rhode himself must not be able to come up with any evidence. Speaking these things now will only cause new trouble for himself for no reason.
"Mr. Rhode?"
And just then, Lijie's voice suddenly rang, and she came to Rhode's side and looked at him with some concern.
"What happened? Your face is not very good."
"Something happened indeed."
Rhode drank all the wine in his glass in one sip, but the sweet and pure delicacy did not dissolve his inner helplessness.
"Do you remember those guys we met in the dusk forest? According to Serek, these guys seemed to be following them all the time."
"Why?!"
Hearing this, Li Jie's face immediately turned pale. She clenched her hands anxiously, obviously very surprised.
"Who are those guys? Why do you come here?"
"According to Serek's account just now, Ten** is a secret spy in the Kingdom of Light."
Rhode snorted coldly and held the cup tightly with his right hand.
If we talk about what Rhodes hate the most in this world, then the Kingdom of Light will definitely be at the top. Although the Kingdom of Night is the original murderer for the war, the two sides are in a hostile position, and their skills are not as good as people. They are burned, killed, occupied, and plundered can only claim to be unlucky. However, being sold by someone who is not as strong as themselves is definitely a great humiliation.
Rhodes is not yet able to challenge the Kingdom of Light, but since the other party is willing to give some preparations so considerately to warm up Rhodes up, Rhodes doesn't mind swallowing them without even leaving bones.
And at this moment, the music suddenly stopped.
Rod and Lijie turned around and looked at the door with some suspicion, but found that the others who were originally enjoying themselves in the hall were also looking at the door with surprise and suspicious eyes.
To be honest, it is looking at a young man standing at the door.
He was wearing a white dress, holding a dark cane in his hand, and a smile full of superiority on his handsome face. Behind him, two shi of the Keller family stood there in a dirt-faced manner, looking quite embarrassed.
"Mr. Billy."
Just when the atmosphere became a little weird, Keller walked out of the crowd and saw the man in front of him. He was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly met him.
"I really didn't expect that you would come. If you are wrong, please forgive me."
"Don't apologize to me, Mr. Clater."
The young man named Billy smiled and raised his hand. Although his voice was not loud, it spread throughout the hall.
"I was just on a whim, so I suddenly wanted to come and see it. I hope you don't blame me for coming here without invitation."
"Where is this?"
Keller's smile on his face remains unabated. For a family patriarch who started his business, smiling face but not smiling is a talented skill.
"I was worried that Mr. Billy would think that such a dinner was too shabby and refused to visit. This was a bad idea."
"Who is this guy?"
Looking at the young man, Rhode frowned. He didn't remember such a person in Deep Rock City?
"That's the envoy of the Kingdom of Light."
Hearing Rhodes's words to himself, a nobleman standing not far away from him answered. From his tone, it was obvious that he was not interested in this so-called "envoy".
"A week ago, he came to Deep Rock City and didn't know what he was going to do. Humph...that guys in the Land of Light wouldn't think they would do anything good."
The envoy of the Kingdom of Light?
Rod and Lijie looked at each other, and the latter shook their heads, obviously they had never heard of such a person.
"Don't worry, Mr. Keller, in fact, I'm here for one person."
The young man said this and smiled, then turned around, walked into the crowd, and then grabbed a person's hand.
"Beautiful lady, we finally meet again."
"puff!"
Rhodes squirted out all the wine before he finished drinking, and Lijie, who was standing beside him, also covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Marlene in surprise in front of the man.
The girl's face was already ashen.
