"Dear Lord, I believe there must be some misunderstandings in this..."

Standing in the bright and dazzling living room, Anko had a bitter face and explained to Rhode, who had no expression in front of her. Although it was not the first time that this priest had heard rumors about Rhode's cruelty, he could only realize how terrible it was. After that, Rhode ordered everyone to detain Sonia and the Knights of the Land of Light beside her in the dungeon. However, he was quite polite to those members of Anko and the members of the church. Originally, Anko thought that he and others would be treated by this.

The crazy and terrifying lord was arrested directly into prison without saying a word. Unexpectedly, when facing them, Rhodes showed the treatment he should have as a local lord and a nobleman, and politely welcomed them into the castle. If both sides did not have the previous misunderstanding, then all this would be in a normal track. But after witnessing Rhodes' merciless move to put Sonia and the Knight of the Land of Light into prison, the lord's "double standards" really made Anko feel frightened.

As a priest, Anko has also been to many places. He knew that because of the strength and pressure of the Kingdom of Light itself, the evaluation of the Kingdom of Light was not good in many places on the Kingdom of Light. Although most of the people in the Kingdom of Light were instilled in that they were the most powerful and important country on the Kingdom of Light. The reason why the people on this continent could live a peaceful and peaceful life was entirely due to their existence. Without their existence, the Kingdom of Light would fall into the shadow of chaos and darkness. Therefore, they were blindly arrogant and had a kind of superiority and arrogance towards people elsewhere that was like a savior.

Most places have no way to fight against this arrogance of the Kingdom of Light. Some places choose to swallow their anger, some show their goodwill on the surface, and cursed behind their backs. Some completely surrendered. But no one dared to rise up and fight against the Kingdom of Light. They were not afraid of the Council of Light, but the only thing they feared the most was the Dragon Soul of Light. If they fought against the Kingdom of Light, the Council of Light would be a big hat to put them down, leaving them helpless. In any case, the priesthood of the continent of Light is basically under the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light. What else can they say?

The arrogance of the Kingdom of Light has penetrated into the bones. They only regard their country as the only civilization on this continent, the most developed, glorious, beautiful, free, strongest, and glorious. The richest country, except for the Kingdom of Light, is either wilderness or barren land, and the people living there are still living under cruel dictatorship. Since they are the people of the most... (repeated below) country on this continent, they naturally have to take on the responsibility of guiding those fools. And those barbarians are ignorant, stupid and ignorant, and do not know anything, so they naturally have to accept their teachings. If they dare not accept it... then they must let them understand it personally. Why they "must" accept their "help". Because this is the only way to turn them from "they" to "they".

In the eyes of the people of the Light Kingdom, the people in other places are a group of barbarians who are not civilized and cannot even wear clothes. Some radical people of the Light Kingdom believe that only the people in the Light Kingdom deserve to be called representatives of humanity. As for the others? Hahaha, they are just half-savages who have not yet evolved. So when Anko saw those knights driving away the residents who stood in front of him, he was not surprised at all. In fact, these knights were already very "polite". At least they were worried that their identity as an envoy was just using their own self-representation.

His momentum was stimulated and he did not directly wave his whip. Perhaps in the eyes of the envoys of the Land of Light, they were already very polite and very proud of these barbarians. If they changed to other places, they would only dare to be angry and not speak out. After all, Sonia was right. This was the formal diplomatic envoys of the Land of Light. No matter what, once it rose to the stage of conflict, it would be a dispute between the two countries. Ordinary lords would not be able to cause trouble for such a small matter.

But the lord did this. There was no hatred, no anger, no worry, and there was only a kind of coldness and disdain that seemed to be watching rats and bedbugs. This surprised Anke secretly. He had never seen anyone look at people in the Light Country with such eyes. After all, the pride of the Light Country was not decades, but hundreds of years of accumulation. When people in other places saw people in the Light Country, they had long been accustomed to subconsciously lowering themselves, just like civilians seeing noble masters. But all this could not be seen in this young man. On the contrary, although Rhode's eyes and expression were very plain, calm, and without any arrogant attitude. But for some reason, Anke felt in front of him like a beggar who broke into the home of a rich and nobleman without authorization, and was at a loss.

"………I know their actions are very rude, but dear Lord, we are the envoys representing the Kingdom of Light, after all, you do this..."

Speaking of this, Anke hesitated for a moment and organized his own words in his heart. In the face of others, he could point out that this was even worse for Moon and the Kingdom of Light, and it might even lead to war. However, this statement was too threatening, and the lord in front of him obviously did not take this trick. However, as a priest who relied on his words, Anke still had this ability. He hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

“…………If you can, you can give them a chance, I think…………… They should have understood their mistakes………”

"The Kingdom of Light has not been changed for hundreds of years. I don't think so quickly that these idiots who are above the top will be able to cleanse their hearts and priests Anko so quickly."

Rhode's expression was calm, but what he said made Anke smile bitterly. If there was someone from the Land of Light here, he would probably jump up and fight Rhode with this sentence alone. However, Anke was sure that if any idiot really dared to do this, Rhode would be happy to kill him.

"I understand what you mean. Dear Lord, but I came here on behalf of the church to be responsible for third-party supervision... The envoys of the Council of Light are indeed a bit too much, but... you are also very clear that in the shadow of the war in the Kingdom of Night, the atmosphere of the entire Continent of Light is very tense. Although they were wrong first, no one was killed after all, and no irreparable consequences were caused......"

Anke carefully organized the words, and at the same time, he had already cursed all the old people from old to young in the Council of Light in his heart. These shameless bastards, you asked me to smile and admit my mistakes when you did something. I really think that the church is easy to bully? Thinking of this, Anke had already gritted his teeth and secretly swore that he would make the most "fair" review on behalf of the church this time. He would never "fairly" review.

After hearing Anke's words, Rhode waved his hand with a calm expression. He thought for a moment, then raised his head and spoke to Anke.

"I can understand your position, Priest Anco. In fact, I have always worked happily with the church. I still believe in your assurance. However, death is avoided, and living sins cannot be escaped. These people must be held in the dungeon for at least fifteen days. If they are performing well in prison, I will let them go. But if they dare to provoke my authority..."

Speaking of this, Rhode's eyes turned cold.

"Sorry, Priest Anko."

"Yes, of course, of course. I can understand."

Hearing Rhodes's words, Anke nodded quickly. What's the joke? He was already very good at getting such a leniency, and what opinions could he have? What's more, from Anke's own standpoint. He was a disaster. Originally, he and his church knights were completely a disaster. Why did those who were smiling here become themselves? Damn, it's not us who made the mistake! As for the opinions raised by Rhodes, Anke had no objection. It would be better to let those arrogant and stupid idiots suffer. But......

"Then, Miss Sonia......"

"There is no exception to my men, Priest Anko, she will also receive punishment. But please rest assured, I will lock her in the single room."

“……………………………”

Hearing Rod's answer, Anke sighed helplessly. Those idiot knights in the Kingdom of Light could just let it go, but this lady is not. The Loctus Consortium has a huge influence in the country of Light. This lady is currently an important figure in the consortium. If anything happens, even as a church member, he may be implicated.

"Why.........How about that? Lord Lord, as the supervisor, I must report everything that happened here to the upper level. So, I take the liberty to ask Miss Sonia to meet Miss Sonia at least every day to confirm her situation. I think you may not know that Miss Sonia's Loctus Consortium is in a very powerful country in the Kingdom of Light. If something goes wrong with this lady..."

"I understand, I can agree to your request, Priest Anco."

This time, Rhodes showed an extraordinary "understandable" attitude, and Anke had no choice but to say anything. He could only cater to a few words in embarrassment, and then turn and leave. After all, for this priest, today was a little unlucky, and he also hoped to find a place to rest peacefully, and then think clearly about what to do next.

For Priest Anko, the unlucky day seemed to end, but for Rhodes, it was just the beginning.

The cold dungeon was still as cold as ever. Rhode pushed open the heavy cell door and soon felt an angry look coming towards him. He raised his head and looked in the direction of his sight. Sonia was standing by the wall, staring at him coldly. Since he ordered Sonia and her knights to be captured into the dungeon, the young lady has been looking at him with such an angry and hatred look, as if she was her father-killer enemy, but Rhode didn't mind at all. He was just a woman, and he wouldn't care even if he really killed the other father.

"I hope you can explain what you have done, Mr. Rhodes."

Sonia said coldly, her fists clenched, and anger flashed in her eyes.

"Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this? Do you want to use your own private interests to start a war between the Kingdom of Light and Moon? I am the third executive of the Loctus Consortium and the second council of the Council of Light! Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?!"

"Stop making excuses, Miss Sonia."

Rhodes glanced at her when he heard Sonia's words.

"It will be a day or two for the Kingdom of Light to fight Mun. If they really had the affair, wouldn't they have come here soon? But I also know that the group of trash in the Council of Light was just shouting happily. If they really had this intention, they would have to use such a clumsy reason. I naturally have no choice but to welcome you if you want to start a war, but...... Just based on your current situation, do you have the courage to start a war with Mun?"

"you………………!!"

Hearing Rhode's ridicule, Sonia's expression changed slightly. The young lady opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. The facts were just as Rhode said. The Kingdom of Light was not like Mun. At the beginning, they did not block the attack of the Immortal Army and were defeated all the way. It was only now that the two archangel chiefs finally settled the defense line. The army of the Kingdom of Light was in a mess and could not even take care of itself. If the Council of Light really decided to start a war against Mun now, I'm afraid the military would be the first to agree.

"It seems that you haven't fully understood your status. Miss Sonia."

Looking at Sonia who looked as if in front of her, but still staring at her stubbornly, Rhode snorted coldly. He slowly walked to Sonia, and noticed Rhode's movements, the girl tensed her body. Just as Rhode was about to come to her, Sonia shouted angrily. She suddenly pulled out a short sword from her waist with her right hand and stabbed towards Rhode quickly.

I have to say that this young lady looks pretty good. Judging from her posture, Sonia obviously has learned swordsmanship and has achieved some success. If she converts her level, she should be around level 30. If she changes to someone who doesn't understand swordsmanship, she is probably completely subdued by Sonia at this time. But Rhodes is obviously not among them. He just looked at Sonia in front of her with his hands on her back and coldly looking at Sonia in front of her. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed by, Ice

The cold daggers intertwine quickly. They hit Sonia's dagger hard. Soon, the young lady screamed, and the dagger in her hand was knocked to the ground. Then, Leo quickly came from the dark shadow. She reached out and quickly stopped the girl's next action, and then pressed Sonia to the ground. Although Sonia struggled hard and tried to break free from Leo's constraints, as a dark elf who specialized in assassination, Leo was much more professional than Sonia.

"What you do will cause war, Miss Sonia."

Rode looked at the dagger that fell at his feet. From the dark blade, he could see a layer of strange light, and it was obvious that poison was painted on it. He really didn't expect that the young lady's preparation was really clear.

“……………………………”

Sonia, who failed in one blow, gritted her teeth and glared at Rhode in front of her.

"You can kill me, but I won't stop there! I came here and didn't plan to go back alive. It was you who ruined Andre, if it weren't for you......"

“Oh……………………………”

Hearing this name, Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I really didn't expect to hear his name here. It seems that the leader of the knight is still very popular. How is his current situation? Are everything going well? How is his body recovering? After the Dragon Soul Holy Book, I have been worried about his health."

"………………snort!"

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Sonia snorted coldly, grabbed her head and stopped talking. At this time, Leo grabbed her neck hard, and then the dark elf raised her head and looked at Rhode.

"Do you want me to kill her? Master?"

"No."

Hearing Leo's inquiry, Rhode suddenly smiled a little. He waved his hand with a smile. Then Rhode came to Sonia who had been crushed to the ground, stretched out her toes, raised her chin, and forced the young lady to look at him. Then, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I originally planned that, but now... I have changed my mind."

"Are you going to turn her into your slave? Master?"

Hearing Rhode's answer, Lio asked curiously, that as a dark elf, she was not unfamiliar with it. And as one of them, Lio naturally had great experience in how to make slaves. After hearing Rhode's words, Lio's first reaction was that he thought that Rhode planned to conduct a soul sacrifice contract as he had done to him before, and transform the human girl in front of him into his slave. But facing Leo's inquiry, Rhode shook his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked coldly at Sonia in front of him.

"No, Leo, I just think it's time to have a pet." (To be continued...)
