Chapter 72 Crazy Invitation
Sonia put down the crystal wine glass in her hand and looked at the face of the man in front of her with the intention of wine. The man she once loved was sitting in front of her now. But for some reason, Sonia had no feelings for him at all. It was not that she had forgotten Andre. In fact, Sonia remembered very clearly that deep in her heart, she could even recall the scene when she first met him. At that time, she was proud and complacent, and had no interest in a rough warrior like Andre. At that time, she looked down on other races like other nobles in the Kingdom of Light. It was precisely because of this that she spoke sarcastic about Sherry at that dance, which aroused Andre's dissatisfaction.
For some time after that, Sonia tried every means to defeat Andre, but she failed. At this time, she felt a little strange about this man deep in her heart. In Sonia's opinion, Andre was very smart and powerful. But he was bound by something boring and meaningless. For the sake of the elf female slave, he could even offend the powerful nobles. Sonia had no idea what Andre thoughts and why he did this. It was from that time that Sonia began to become interested in this man.
After that, by all the chances, she began to approach the man, and this man gave Sonia the encouragement and motivation that she had never thought of. When she felt great pressure from the fierce struggle of the family and was almost giving up, he encouraged herself to cheer up again and eventually became the third executive of the Loctus Consortium. Until now, Sonia still remembers that night, under the moonlight, Andrei stared at what she said, the dream that sounded extremely childish to her.
Perhaps it was at that time. Looking at Andre's eyes shining with gloriousness, Sonia felt for the first time that she had been deeply attracted by him.
Even a word or action from him was enough to make me feel moved. The shy smile, the innocent and funny expressions revealed by embarrassment, and the serious and serious attitude hidden under it. They once made Sonia so intoxicated. She hoped to confess to the man in front of her more than once. She longed to gain his love and recognition. But now......
After all, that's just the past.
Looking at Andre in front of me, all the memories of the past came to Sonia's heart, but at this moment, deep in the girl's heart, there was no longer the feeling of the past. If it were her before, her heart would have been beating long ago. But now, Sonia felt unexpectedly calm inside, so calm that she couldn't even believe it. What's wrong with me? What did I become? Why? Did I not react at all?
Thinking of this, Sonia couldn't help but hold the wine glass tightly, then she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
"Sonya, are you okay?"
The hot liquid spread in his mouth like this. The hazy, stimulating aroma of wine and the hot feeling made Sonia feel dizzy at this moment. When she saw the scene in front of her, Andre couldn't help but ask curiously. When she heard Andre's inquiry, Sonia shook her head.
"I'm fine, Andre..."
Hearing Andre's inquiry, Sonia shook her head, and she raised her head, looked at Andre, and then smiled softly.
"Andre. Do you like me?"
"Why?"
When Andre was stunned when he heard Sonia ask him this question unexpectedly, he was stunned, and then his face turned slightly red.
"So, Sonya, what are you talking about..."
"Answer my question, Andre."
Sonia stood up and came to Andrei's side. They were now in a distinguished guest room that Andre had booked outside, and there was no one here except them. Therefore, Sonia didn't need to care about anything. She walked slowly to Andrei, reached out and touched his chest. Then, Sonia lowered her head and attached herself to Andrei's ear.
"Do you like me? Andre? Do you want me?"
"So, Sonya?"
Faced with the girl's sudden attack, Andre was a little embarrassed. He instinctively stood up and stood up backwards, as if he was avoiding Sonia.
"What's wrong with you? You're drunk, Sonia... don't......"
"I like you... Andre......"
A dream confession.
But for some reason, when Sonia said it, she was not as excited and shy as she had expected. At this moment, Sonia felt like an actor on the stage. What she did now was not to express her feelings to the person she loved, but to memorize lines, just because, in her mind, she should do this at this time--this was just a pre-designed script, just that.
"Sonya, you..."
"Do you like me? Andre?"
Sonia moved closer, and at this time the girl's soft body was almost tightly pressed against Andre. She raised her head and looked at Andre quietly. Then, she wrapped her hands around Andre's neck, raised her head, and moved closer to his face. Can you help me get rid of this nightmare and come back? Andre? Can you do this?
"Don't, don't do this, Sonia!"
Just as Sonia was about to kiss Andre's lips, Andre suddenly shrank back, and then he pushed the girl in front of him away. Sonia staggered and took a few steps back, opened her eyes wide in surprise, and looked at Andre in front of her. The atmosphere became silent for a moment. When she noticed Sonia's gaze, Andre's face turned red. He coughed awkwardly, and looked around in a wandering manner.
"This... I'm sorry... Sonia, I'm not..."
“Huhuhuhu…………”
"Why?"
“Hahahahaha…………!!”
Faced with Andre's awkward expression, Sonia suddenly burst into laughter, and she even bent down with a smile. After a while, she stood up again.
"It's really easy to be deceived by me. Andre? You're so stupid, you didn't expect you to be so easy to deceive. It seems that when you go to the dance party in the future, I have to take good care of you. Otherwise, if I'm fascinated by a noble lady, how can I explain to Sherli?"
"This, it has nothing to do with Sherry."
Hearing Sonia's words, Andre was immediately embarrassed. He touched his nose helplessly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really, you almost scared me to death, Sonya, I thought you were drunk..."
"This is a compulsory course for the noble lady. Andre, you have to learn to adapt to this?"
Speaking of this, Sonia even raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with playful movements.
"Thank you for your lesson, Sonia."
Facing Sonia's expression, Andre shook his head helplessly, and he looked out the window and then coughed.
"Then, it's late at night, Sonya, I'll send you back."
“………Okay. Andre.”
Sonia turned her head and turned her back to Andre. She looked at the night outside. Although there was light in the room, at this moment, Sonia only felt as if she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, with nothingness under her feet... It was eternal darkness. She closed her eyes, lowered her head, and murmured to herself softly.
Owner……………
For Rhodes, this recent period is almost his day of wealth.
Shortly after sending the first Saint Girl statue to Longteng Canyon, territories from all directions were eager to contact the Atonement Land, hoping to obtain a Saint Girl statue from Rhode as soon as possible. No wonder they suddenly became so enthusiastic. Although the Saint Girl statue performed well in the offensive and defensive battles of the Atonement Land, it was on Rhode's own territory after all, and at that time, with the assistance of the Battle Angels and the Magic Fleet, it was naturally unfavorable. As for whether the Saint Girl statue was used in other places, they also had similar concerns like Rhode. However, after seeing the transformation of the Saint Girl statue in Longteng Canyon with their own eyes, they immediately put down all their concerns and began to seek assistance from Rhode. In any case, there was only Rhode's family who could make a magical artifact and take it out for sale in the entire Light Continent, and there was no other semicolon.
The Saint Girl is indeed not omnipotent. Although An sounds like she is engaged in pyramid schemes, she is not engaged in pyramid schemes after all. Moreover, this is a war period, it is not a good idea to conceal the weaknesses of the Saint Girl. In fact, in the Dragon Canyon, Rhode once told General Anton that although the Saint Girl is a natural enemy of an immortal creature, it is also just a stone statue. Like all stone sculptures, it does not resist attacks. Although it is made of magic crystals, its resistance to magic is still over, but if it is smashed by something like a catapult or a siege hammer, then the Saint Girl statue will be completely finished. However, these small shortcomings do not seem to have any obstacles to potential buyers. Everything is not perfect. Even if it is as powerful as a magic cannon, it has not been able to solve the safety hazards caused by vibrations for so many years, so it can only be used fixedly. Moreover,
It is not very strong, and it will explode and be completely scrapped when smashed by someone. Therefore, this small shortcomings of the Saint Girl statue are not a disadvantage in their eyes. On the contrary, they value the power of the Saint Girl statue's huge anti-death barrier and the holy gun. In addition, the Saint Girl statue can attach sacred attributes to everything within its range, which makes people feel excited. This is not just as simple as turning the water source into holy water. It can even be said that in this way, the armor and weapons of the soldiers fighting within the range of the Saint Girl statue will have the power of sacred attributes, and it will be twice the result with half the effort when facing the undead legion weakened by the anti-death barrier. Not only that, after their death, the necromancers cannot arouse their bodies as a supplement to the Immortal Legion. Because their evil power of death will dissolve directly under the divine light and completely lose their effect.
It can be seen from this that with the help of the Saint Girl statue, the advantages of the Immortal Legion have been greatly weakened. They cannot pollute the water source as before to reduce the morale of the enemy, nor can they use their bodies reinforced by the power of soul to conduct strong attacks, and they cannot arouse dead bodies to increase their troops. Although the high-level troops of the Immortal Legion are also very strong, in this way, everyone is facing a battle that is relatively normal for them and even slightly superior.
For them, this is enough.
It is also because of this that after that, letters from the major territories of Moon's Principality almost filled Rhode's desks. Among them, Dongfang Yamahara and Segram, who are currently fighting the Immortal Legion, are most urgent. In addition, there are even some territories bordering the Kingdom of Light that have sent letters to obtain the statue of the Saint Girl. It is obvious that they have no confidence in whether the Kingdom of Light can block the attack of the Immortal Legion. Instead of relying on the Council of Light, everything is more reliable.
The lords of these territories are not as poor as Rhodes. Of course, they cannot run back and forth with millions of gold coins, but platinum coins and diamonds are still the most circulating currencies on the continent. They almost didn't hesitate at all about the deposit of at least three million yuan that Rhodes proposed, and they nodded and sent it up. Seeing that Rhodes was so unbalanced. He worked hard for such a long time to make some money with the system. Look at these lords and nobles took out hundreds of millions of gold coins without blinking. Why is the gap between people in this world so big?
However, strictly speaking, this money is not earned by Rhodes, because these are just the principal for building the statue of the Saint Girl. Before the bag is warmed up, Rhodes will throw it into the bottomless pit of the construction system. As for the real profit, it will only be obtained after delivering the statue of the Saint Girl.
But everything has two aspects: good or bad. Human nature is the most difficult existence in the world to determine simply by kindness. With the passionate letters from various territories, the number of people in the Atonement Land began to increase. And they obviously did not come here for a trip. In fact, Joey and others have successively captured several guys sneaking around the Tour de France Tower trying to invade the Tour de France Tower, not to mention that there were also some strange faces around the fortress strongholds that they had never seen before. Not only that, Rhode also learned through Marlene that in the Golden City, there were some nobles in front of Lydia, thinking that they should investigate how they got it. Not to mention that they also learned through Marlene that there were some nobles in front of Lydia. They believed that they should investigate how they got it.
The artifact was obtained. Although Lydia threw all these proposals aside and ignored them. However, Rhodes was still very clear that the opinions and concerns about his own opinions and concerns within the Principality of Moon still existed. It is no wonder that on the surface, as a lord from mercenary origin, Rhodes gained too much energy, too big, and too fast. If the Holy Girl was created by him and the Shania family, then the nobles could still accept it. But now it seems that Rhodes got the Holy Girl statue and its production process by himself. How did he do it, how could this be possible? What secrets are hidden behind this man? What exactly does he want to do?
Rhodes was not in the mood to explain such questions, and he had no way to explain them. So he simply put them aside and didn't ask about them. The so-called lice are not itchy. Rhodes himself also understood that the problems he had are not just about. To be honest, he is actually a "black household" in this world.
On the other hand, what surprised Rhodes was that the Magic Fleet actually sent a representative to ask him about whether the Saint Girl statue could be used in the air. This was an unexpected development direction for Rhodes, but it is not surprising to think about it carefully. On the Dragon Canyon, he once activated the Magic Fleet on a floating ship to reverse the situation. It is obvious that the Magic Fleet also knew about this. In fact, Rhodes was not surprised that they would come up with such an idea. After all, there was already a magic cannon.
For example, at present, they obviously value the wide coverage of the Saint Girl statue and the characteristic of being useful in destruction barriers to weaken the undead creatures, so they plan to move it to the ship for use. We have to admit that this is indeed a good idea. If it can be successful, even if the undead creatures want to bypass or deliberately stay away from the defense line to fight, then the Duchy of Moon doesn't have to be afraid. If conditions permit, then they can even use the dual protection of the Magic Fleet and the Saint Girl statue to launch a ground offensive against the Immortal Legion and turn defense into offense!
To be honest, Rhodes was indeed a little surprised after hearing the request of the Magic Fleet. The players had never done this in the game. This was not because of the player's thinking, but because at that time the player could not get the design drawings of the Magic Fleet and could not create a floating warship, so it was naturally impossible to think of such an idea. But it had to admit that it was indeed very possible to do it. Of course, its weakness was also obvious. Once the enemy took the Magic Fleet carrying the Saint Girl statue as the primary attack target, if the Magic Fleet crashed, everything would be done. In this way, it would need to provide all-round airtight protection of the Magic Fleet, which is much more difficult than on the ground. But on the other hand, the Magic Fleet floating above the altitude can also avoid it from the enemy's sneak attack... Think about it carefully, this seems to be a good idea.
Rhodes were naturally left to Marin to discuss this matter with the representatives of the Magic Fleet. After all, the Shania family has always been responsible for building magic warships with the royal family, and she must be much more familiar with those people than herself.
But this does not mean that Rhode has nothing to do. Especially after receiving Sonia's report, Rhode knew that his troubles were not so easy to end. There was a convenient thing about him. He had learned from Sonia about the current view of the Council of Light and Lydia, and even Rhode himself had to admit it. Nakvand was indeed a good idea to incite people's hearts. As a human supremacist, he deeply understood the so-called "non-one of my race will have different hearts." This conspiracy theory is really awesome. In conjunction with the Council of Light's fear of Lydia, there is indeed a certain market. Rhodes is even sure that if Nakvand said these words in public speeches in the square, he might immediately incite the emotions of those onlookers who do not know the truth, and successfully make them regard Moon as an enemy to be defeated.
The battle has not ended, it has just changed the battlefield.
And there are many times when the battlefield behind is more difficult than the enemy in front.
On the surface, the Fortress of Atonement is still calm, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner under Rhode's arrangement. Leo is currently responsible for training thieves, including Joey. According to Joey's report, it is progressing well and has achieved remarkable results. As a dark elves, although Leo cannot teach them the traits belonging to the dark elves, just the assassination skills that the dark elves themselves have figured out is enough to benefit these thieves a lot.
On the other hand, with the key role shown in the last battle, Bilan Heart was finally recognized by his subordinates. Although many soldiers were respectful on the surface, they were mostly dissatisfied with this lady who wore long robes. It was completely suppressed by Mafa, Thor and others that they barely learned to obey the orders. But at the end of the fortress defense battle, when Bilan Heart released the final ring of law, completely bombarded, and eliminated the Immortal Legion, those doubts and dissatisfaction against Bilan Heart finally came to an end.
It disappeared completely and completely. Although the mercenaries still can't figure out whether the Heart of Bilan is a mage or something, the powerful power she has is undoubtedly. This is another reason why Rhodes will let the Heart of Bilan be responsible for leading the army to attack head-on. Because in terms of PK skills, Heart of Bilan is not very good, unlike Rhodes, Canary and Little Bubble Gum, which can fight all over the arena, and in the end, there are only three of them left to decide the outcome. With the Heart of Bilan, it is thankful that she can enter the third round of knockout.
This is also related to the characteristics of the Magicians themselves. The Magicians themselves have no combat power, and the combat power of the Magicians almost entirely comes from the outside world. This profession is a completely delayed attack that is controlled by others. If in a melee, the Magicians can survive until the late stage of the mid-season, it means that she will master the entire game, and it is almost certain that she can win the championship. But on the other hand, the Magicians are a weak player in the early stage, and anyone can easily kill her. Moreover, the Magicians are not without weaknesses. The biggest problem is that they can only copy skills, but cannot copy the opponent's power attributes. Therefore, they suffer a great loss when facing pure and non-relying skills but power attacks. If Anne fights with the Magicians, the latter may have to kneel down in Anne's hands for less than half a minute, because Anne does not need any skills to deal with the Magicians. She directly smashes her shield and the Magicians will be completely finished.
But there is no problem in commanding the army. The Heart of Bilan, hiding behind the army, can not only protect itself from its safety, but also collect the opponent's offensive skills and spells without any fault. When the time is right, she only needs a light stroke of her finger to see the overwhelming spiritual skills, spells, and even various messy skills. Even the gain aura can explode completely in an instant, completely destroying the opponent's defense and attack. This is another reason why Rhode wants the Heart of Bilan to be responsible for commanding the army. Because the profession of Magic is too anti-human - it actually has no blue bars!
On the Dragon Soul Continent, almost all professions release skills require the power of soul, even Rhode's summoning swordsman is no exception. But the reason is that there is a profession that does not require the power of soul at all - that is, the Magician. In other words, if conditions permit, then the Bilan Heart can even release a legendary spell that can unite dozens of high-level mages in an instant, and they almost have to be exhausted to release them together. There is nothing wrong with it. Because the power of releasing this spell does not come from her soul power at all, even if Bilan Heart has released it several times in a row, there is no problem. But this is also a flawed profession. Although the Magician does not release skills, it does not have any problem. It requires consuming soul power, but it also has its own flaws. If Bilan Heart just wants to release the skills recorded in the book, then she only needs a light click on her finger to release it again. However, if Bilan Heart learns this skill and then releases it, it requires a "power-causing time". This is why the Magic Bachelor's profession is so perverted, but it can't even beat the knockout round in the arena. Because competition emphasizes speed and efficiency, in this case Bilan Heart cannot make enough responses, and others will not give her time to accumulate energy. Even if she has learned all the spells and skills of all professions in the entire Dragon Soul Continent, the flaws and weaknesses cannot be compensated.
After the previous offensive and defensive battles, the status of Bilan Heart in the Land of Atonement finally stabilized. Now the recruits are no longer as presumptuous in front of her as before, and they do not need Mafa and Thor to shout and remind these guys not to be lazy there during training.
Everything seems to be on the right track.
But soon, the wind direction changed again.
Since the front line was attacked by the Immortal Legion again, and the Kingdom of Light could not rely on its own strength to defend, the Council of Light formally asked Moon to send troops to support the front line.
At the same time, a letter printed with the double marks of the Council of Light and the Archangel also appeared at Rhode's desk. (To be continued)
