Chapter 140 Go home
Walking out of the chaos, when everyone stepped onto the solid and flat ground again, looking at the blue sky in front of them, the dazzling sunshine, and the green gradually emerging on the hillside, everyone's first reaction was not excitement or excitement, but...
“Woo…………!!”
Holding his head, Lando and others, who were stuck on his head, lay down on the ground like this, while Rhodes wrapped his hands and leaned quietly beside the pillar of order. He looked at his poor subordinates with interest at the pain of the Dragon Soul of Light, which was the origin of this continent, and returned to the cage to protect the origin of this continent. But he himself was not much better. Just look at Rhodes' unrestrained eyes and you will understand that his current situation is not easy at all.
But as the commander of a team, how could he show his embarrassing appearance?
Like Rhodes, the girl who was standing not far away from him was wrapped in a black robe. That was Rhodes' reward, which was the "fire coordinate" given to him by the elder of the shelter, which was said to be the fire coordinate. In fact, Rhodes already understood very well. The old man didn't know what method he used to seal the order connection channel that was supposed to be used to connect the central crystal and the door stone and provide energy in the girl's body. However, the biggest advantage in this is that the shelter will not weaken the barrier of order power provided, and the girl can sense the real fire location. So from this level, it is indeed not wrong that she is the fire coordinate.
And although the elder did not make a clear explanation, Rhodes could be sure that the girl had a connection channel with the power of order sealed on her body, which was not a matter of one or two days. Combined with the powerful strength that the girl could have at this age, it was very likely that she had been sealed when she was born. And whether her strength was born by nature, so she was qualified to be the seal of the power of order, or because she was sealed on the channel of the power of order, so she had such power, that is, the chicken was born with eggs or eggs.
But the girl doesn't have a name.
According to the old man, since the moment she was sealed by the power of order, the girl's original name had completely disappeared. But of course, Rhodes and others could not call this girl like this, so it was necessary to give the girl a name, and the most active one was Qilian. From "Misaka Sister" to "Asuna", there were seventy or eighty names in a mess. As a result, Rhodes couldn't stand it and directly interrupted the cunning fire element lord's spoof creativity and gave the girl a simple name.
"bell."
Rhode turned his head and looked at the silent girl who was following him.
"How is your body? Are you okay?"
“………………………………………”
Ling didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, and then didn't say anything more. The child was very quiet, and his expression rarely changed. In Rhode's memory, except for the first time when he was counterattacked by him, she was similar to him at the rest of the time, both of whom were calm and indifferent, and never spoke. However, Rhode knew that she was different from the girls around him. Although on the surface, she and Grey Hill were both different from the girls around him.
Madalas is like taciturn. But in fact, Grayhill and Madalas are similar to Rhodes, which is that although they don’t seem to like to talk very much, they are still very expressive. Although the two elf girls don’t say a word, their expressions and actions can express their thoughts. But this girl is different, she looks like a real doll. Rhodes doesn’t even know what she thinks about her current experience.
The refuge is over.
The central crystal polluted by chaos is at least the central crystal. It is like the number of nude virus pop-ups that are polluted by viruses, which is also an operating system. However, if the system is completely destroyed, deleted, and even the core of the motherboard is smashed, then this computer is useless. The old man refused the invitation to take him away with him, and chose to destroy himself with the shelter. As for the three disabled people who led Rhode into the shelter before, they stayed together as the old man's guards. Judging from their appearance, they obviously did not want to live in the outside world, but rather chose to die here.
Ling really didn't think of the destruction of the refuge she grew up in and the death of those who raised her. She just stared at the destruction of the refuge, and then turned around to Rhodes. To be honest, if she hadn't been a human, Rhodes would have thought she was like exchanging control and use of robots with a businessman in a science fiction film.
But I have to admit that she is very strong.
From Qi Lian, Rhode has learned that the girl's frontal combat ability is not ordinary, and her rule attribute should be air-based, at least it is shown on the pieces of meat cut into pieces. It has powerful power, but it is extremely pure in her heart, just like the pitiful murderers who have been brainwashed and trained to have a tragic fate that Rhode has seen in the novel movie. Considering the environment of the refuge, those murderers really lived in heaven when they were young. No matter how terrible things they encountered when they were young, they were definitely not as terrifying as growing up in a refuge eroded by chaos.
But being able to grow up in that place still maintains a pure heart, probably also related to the power of order sealed in her body. So although girls seem to be difficult to get along with on the surface, in fact, it is not only people like Marlene, Lijie and Anne who are very maternal, but even calm people like Lando and Thor always greet her with a smile. Humans are the people of order. Although they come from different orders, the bell with the power of order in their body is obviously more likely to attract the attention and favor of order life.
But Rhode has guessed that this girl’s common sense in life is likely to be zero...
This is also a headache.
After finally recovering, everyone finally returned to the Fortress of the Land of Sin.
On the surface, the Fortress of the Land of Atonement was as calm as before, but when they stepped back into the fortress gate, many people showed a "living after a disaster". No wonder, although Rhodes planned to take them to the Land of Chaos to get to know the environment inside, and this task was successfully completed. However, the broken and chaotic rules of the Land of Chaos also left a deep impression on everyone's hearts, and it was definitely not an impression of developing on the positive side. Therefore, after seeing the normal world being restored to the front of them again, many people even burst into tears for a while.
Ah...... Sure enough, this is our world. There are day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Do you see the sun rising from the east?......
If everyone did want to enter the Chaos Land before entering the Chaos Land and compete with the legendary historical heroes, then when Rhodes made the same invitation, they might be in a different mood.
After returning to the fortress, everyone disbanded immediately. After all, they had been running back and forth for so long, and in a place where there was no concept of time, although it felt like only a few days, many people felt that they had been like a month or two long, which was not a day that humans could tolerate. When they thought that this was just the beginning, they still needed to follow Rhode to the deeper part of the Chaos Land—the previous heart of glory that longed to be comparable to the heroes in historical legends would calm down.
However, unlike other people who can go back to their room and relax in bed, as the main managers here, Rod and Marlene will not go to rest so easily. Qilian also needs to organize the information over the past period of time so that they can understand what happened outside during the period of time they left. At the same time, they also need to understand the current operation of the fortress.
"During the time when Lord Lord and Lord Marin left, the situation inside the fortress was basically stable. Except for the orders for the statue of the Saint Girl from all over the territory of the Duchy of Moon, the increase in orders for the statue of the Saint Girl from all over the territory of the Duchy of Moon, the Lord was unable to contact him, so I temporarily suppressed these orders. Also, according to the report of Xingguang, they found some people who always wandered below the Star Spirit and had suspicious signs. Although I sent someone to investigate their background, for now, except for knowing that they are definitely not members of the Duchy of Moon, the rest of the situation is completely unknown..." When he said this, An raised his head with some fear and looked at Rhodes sitting behind the desk in front of him, with his clear and bright eyes with anxiety and trembling.
It is no wonder that it was the first time she took on such an important responsibility after becoming Rhode's subordinate. When Marlene left, she was ordered to take over Marlene's job as her deputy when she left, An actually had not yet realized what she was going to do. As a result, she was surprised to find that Marlene had handed over the entire land of atonement to her for management. This immediately made An, who was "successful in one step", feel frightened. Although as Marlene's deputy, she did have some experience in such a job, but her status was too low after all, and giving such heavy responsibilities suddenly made An uneasy. Not to mention that Canary and Little Bubble Gum both have higher status than themselves, they have no intention of in charge of the business at all, which made An feel "high pressure".
"………As for the refugee side, everything goes well. Because Lord Lord provided assistance funds, the commercial circulation in the entire Atonement Fortress has been fully formed. Of course, with the increase in the number of refugees, public security issues have also increased, but they are still within a controllable range and no vicious cases have occurred."
This is natural. Anyone who is bored and dares to destroy the legendary wizard's high tower is a strange thing.
"I see."
After listening to An's report, Rod and Marlene exchanged glances. It seemed that An was doing well during their absence. Of course, the so-called professionalism was specialized. Even if An did not intend to hide it, Rod also saw that the girl had no talent in politics and military affairs. So she basically didn't care about the factors that might have passed from Golden City or Casablanca to influence the political situation of the Atonement Land and military training. On the contrary, the girl reported in detail about the economy, but she was lucky, because now, with the aggression of the Kingdom of Night, the most important thing is to revitalize the economy. This is a favorable coincidence for An, otherwise, she would probably be finished.
Although the war has stopped, the orders for the statue of the Saint Girl from all directions have not decreased but increased, which has surprised Rhodes. However, if you think about it carefully, as long as the lords of major territories are not fools or idiots like the Council of Light, they will know that this battle in the Kingdom of Night will definitely not end so easily. Therefore, the next time is not a good day for everyone to break the armor and return to the fields to rest and drink, but will recruit soldiers in large quantities. And start building and repairing defenses to welcome the preparation period for the next war.
"You did a good job, An. Although there are still shortcomings, it is enough for now."
Hearing Rhode's answer, the girl opposite who was so nervous that her face was stiff and then let out a long sigh. Then she hurriedly lowered her head and bowed respectfully to Rhode in front of her.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, then I'll leave now."
As she said this, An bowed respectfully and then walked out of the door. After seeing her walk out of the room, Marin then smiled a little proudly and looked at Rhodes.
"How about it?"
"It's pretty good, at least it didn't make the fortress a problem."
Rhode nodded. Of course, he realized that Marlene was still very proud of it, but it was no wonder. No matter what, he was also her subordinate, and she was also her student. The teacher was naturally relieved that the students had grown up. However......
"When are you going to the Chaos Land? Rhodes?"
Marlene looked at Rhode with some concern. After following Rhode to the Chaos Land, she personally realized how terrible and chaotic it was. After returning to the fortress, Marlene also asked An for a while, but the answer she got was that it was only three or four days before they went out. As for Marlene herself, it might be at least ten days.
According to Rhodes, this is just a refuge on the periphery, and the place where the real fire slept is deeper. No matter how time goes by outside, at least Marlin herself feels that if she follows in again this time, at least a few months will be inevitable.
And this time, it's not just them. According to Rhodes's words, by that time, many soldiers will be required to resist the possible chaos monsters. Imagine the situation inside the Chaos Land. Is this really good?
Of course, it is worth it to sacrifice more than to gain control of a piece of territory for free.
"No, let's put this one aside first, although I do draw some soldiers from the territory. But I hope their purpose is to maintain order there after I open the territory rather than being killed by a bunch of messy creatures on the road."
Hearing Marlene's inquiry, Rhode shook his head and replied. He had decided to activate the power of the Star Hall this time as the backbone of the chaotic land. Although personal soldiers are also required to lead them, the functions of the police and soldiers are completely different, right?
"So, what are you going to do with that lady?"
As he said that, Marin looked at the side and saw that in the seat not far away from Rhode, Ling was sitting there quietly. Because she had just returned, Ling had not changed her clothes yet, but was still wrapped in a cloak. The girl just sat there quietly, and she didn't even touch the tea poured by the water elf maid before. In fact, after the elder handed the girl to Rhode, she was like "a robot would only act according to the orders of the master." Rhode asked her to eat her before she could eat, Rhode asked her to leave before she left, and Rhode did nothing if he didn't speak. Maybe if Rhode forgets to let her eat one day, she might starve to death.
Even Qilian complained, "Isn't this child a human-shaped intelligence or communication interface from a zenith star?" - Although from Rhode's perspective, Qilian herself is more in line with what she said.
However, Rhodes already had plans for this.
"Come with me."
He stood up, then turned his head and said to the girl sitting in the chair.
The Tour de France tower still looked as beautiful and elegant as ever. The crystal passage filled with magic light flashed slowly. Rhode walked into the gate and soon saw the smiling face of the Canary appear in front of him.
"Welcome back, Rhodes, it seems you're going to Chaos Land this time......"
Speaking of this, Canary turned her head and looked at the girl who followed Rhodes without saying a word, silent.
"……… I got a very interesting trophy. Why? Are you going to give her to me as our daughter to raise? This is not bad. Although it is unlikely that I will give you a baby now, it would be quite interesting if I adopt one, isn't it? Oh, it's a pity that this is not the earth, otherwise I really want my parents to see what their daughter, who has not graduated from college, would have a look like if she would take a child home to visit relatives. I think it would make me very happy."
"I remember your relationship with your parents is not that bad."
Rhode couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Canary say a line that seemed to be not taking it seriously with a smile.
"Yes, who told me that Rhodes didn't shoot videos every time I went to bed on a date, which made me want to show my parents how close their daughters' lives could not be done. It's such a pity."
“What’s going on with Christie?”
Rhode decisively changed the subject, and then he realized that Canary's resentment towards his parents may be greater than he thought. Don't underestimate the pressure and resentment of the excellent students who have been carrying their parents' expectations since childhood.........
"not bad."
Since Rhodes were unwilling to get involved, Canary naturally chuckled and skipped the topic.
"Miss's strength has improved very quickly after awakening the universe. However, for now, it is still difficult to activate the True Knowledge Scroll. It is really an extraordinary artifact. Christie can only summon it for less than ten seconds, but this little time has already caused her to consume the soul power of a mage who has taken the full magic route at level 60. It seems that the artifact is indeed not that easy to use. Christie's soul power is obviously so strong now, but he can only activate the True Knowledge Scroll. As for other functions, it is impossible to use. I really can't imagine how much soul power that Christie had at Luoying Mountain."
"What is Christie doing now?"
"Meditation is about to end. She has nothing to do except meditation, and she is always a little bored if you can't see you. Do you want to see her?"
"certainly."
Hearing Canary’s inquiry, Rod looked at the girl standing beside him, and nodded.
"I want to introduce her to a friend."
