Originally, Rhodes planned to rest for a while near Moonlight Lake before continuing on his way, but after encountering the giant wolf, he had to change his mind. Considering that the bloody smell of the corpse might cause more unnecessary trouble, Rhodes finally chose a relatively flat highland upstream of Moonlight Lake as the camping site when the sun sets.

After dinner, Rhodes took on the role of a post again. Although this was a bit stricter for his body, considering that only he was the most familiar with the environment of Silver Moon Forest and only he had combat ability, there was nothing he could do. Although the fat merchant Mess once volunteered to help, looking at his fat body, although Rhodes and Lijie didn't say much, their eyes had completely revealed the attitude of the two. So the fat merchant, who was in tears, had nothing to do except sit aside and packed up the luggage they rescued from the wreckage of the floating ship.

Of course, Lijie was not at ease. At this moment, she was kneeling beside Rhodes and putting her hands on his left shoulder.

“aliymia.” (Dragon Word: Treatment)

Accompanied by the girl's crisp singing, a faint white light emerged from her palm, and then slowly wrapped around Rhode's body. In the Dragon Soul Continent, the caster usually uses the dragon language to cast spells, because since the creation of the world, almost 70% of the magic has been passed down in the form of dragon language and has been widely used by humans in the era of great magic. As for the rest, it is composed of angel language, elf language, demon language and undead language, which was originally created by the ancestor dragon.

The races created and protected also inherited the magical talent and long life span of the dragon. This has also become the dividing line for all classes on the continent. Whether in the Kingdom of Night (Dark Night Dragon), the Kingdom of Light (Dark Light Dragon) and the Kingdom of Law (Dark Judgment Dragon), no matter what political system they adopt, the highest-ranking person must be the dragon soul holder who inherited the souls of the five dragons, and the second is the non-human who mainly consists of angels, elves, demons and undeads, and the next is humans.

Of course, due to different political systems, the class compositions of each country are not very similar. As a country ruled by royal power, the class system of the Kingdom of Night is relatively strict, and there is no human being among its superiors. However, half of the high-level members of the Light Country, which implements parliamentary democracy, belong to humans in the parliament. In the country of Law, the number of angels, elves and humans in the upper class is quite balanced, each accounting for one-third. This is because the Kingdom of Law, which ruled by religious centralization, believes in the way of balance, and for them, balance is the most perfect choice.

Rhodes knows the situation in this continent very well. He knows what will happen next, which makes him a little worried. In the game, the player is a player after all, and he can't afford to play, so he can take off his helmet and turn around and leave. But now it's different. He has become a part of this continent. So, in the face of the disaster that will happen next, what should he do?

"Mr. Rhode...Mr. Rhode?"

"What's up?"

Lijie's voice awakened Rhode from his thoughts. He raised his head and looked at the girl in front of him. After that, Lijie finally returned to her usual appearance. Although there was a trace of worry occasionally appearing between her eyebrows, it was much better than the previous gloomy expression that seemed to be the end of the world and was not surprising to commit suicide at any time.

“That’s how it is.”

Lijie shook her head and looked carefully at Mes, who was counting the supplies in her pocket, who was sitting next to the fire, with a look that seemed to have been bitten by a snake, lowered her voice and spoke seriously.

"I felt something in the battle with the Wind Snake before."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Rhode raised his eyebrows.

"What?"

"I felt some darkness from the Lord of the Wind Snake."

Speaking of this, Lijie bit her lower lip.

"However, this kind of aura is very weak, not like a creature with dark attributes that should have... Mr. Rhodes, the wind snake, shouldn't be a dark creature."

Of course not. Wind snake is a creature of wind element. Its existence with dark element is eight poles and will not be a distant relative, but...

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Hearing the girl's confident and affirmative answer, Rhode couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Of course, he knew what happened during this period of history. The wind snake group successively attacked the cargo ships on the Fengtide Trade Road, causing considerable losses. After sending people to investigate, the Kingdom of Light claimed that it was directed and manipulated by the nomads living in the disputed area under the rule of the Dark Kingdom on the southern border of Parfield. Shortly after that, the Kingdom of Light sent troops to attack the area and expelled and massacred the residents. And for this move by the Kingdom of Light, the Kingdom of Night responded quickly. They not only sent troops to attack the garrison of the Kingdom of Light and took back the land they claimed to belong to, but also used this as a fuse to launch a full-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Light.

This history took place during the public beta, when Rhodes and other players were busy getting familiar with new environments, new systems and upgrades, and did not go too far into this part of the background. By the end of the public beta period, the game was officially launched and when players poured in, a full-scale war broke out between the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdom of Night. As for what happened, players had their own opinions. Some people believed that this was a tragedy caused by the Kingdom of Light that failed to recover their territory, while another conspiracy theorists believed that this was a intentional provocation of the Kingdom of Night and deliberately launched a war to achieve the goal of expansion. Many people even believed that the Kingdom of Night had been eyeing the Kingdom of Light for a long time, and this time it was a missed by the Kingdom of Light itself that was not properly handled by the Kingdom of Light. Of course, the players had no position and were entirely judging by their personal preferences.

As for these statements, Rhodes believed that there were some truths - the southern border area was rich in crystal mines, which was an important resource for any country, and the Kingdom of Light had no reason to let go. And the Dragon of the Night, Ion, who ruled the Kingdom of Night, was indeed a very powerful ruler. Until the middle of the war, even players known as cunning rogues could find it difficult to gain any advantage in his hands. It was even rumored that it was not a NPC, but a role played by members of the game company. As for the last statement, after all, during the war, the performance of the Kingdom of Light was completely undescending except for using a pig-like teammate. Many brainless orders caused players to complain. In the end, many strange scenes of players in the same camp taking the initiative to turn against the Kingdom of Night to fight against the Kingdom of Light, which shows how tragic the situation was at that time.

But now it seems that the conspiracy theory of the second faction is closer to reality.

Lijie's feeling is not wrong. As a creature of light element, angels are very sensitive to dark elements. She, who has inherited half of her bloodline, should not be there. So, the attack on Fengshe Group of Fengshang's trade route is indeed a precursor to the Kingdom of Night and trying to launch a full-scale attack on the Kingdom of Light?

Things don't seem simple.

"Lijie, don't tell anyone about this."

"Okay, Mr. Rhode."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Lijie nodded. She withdrew her hands and carefully examined Rhode's injuries. A smile appeared on her fair face.

"Your injury has healed a lot. If this continues, you will be cured in about five or six days."

"Thanks."

Rhode nodded slightly to the girl to express his gratitude, and then he lowered his head and looked at the system information emerging in front of him.

The healthy part has gradually returned to green. If this continues, it won’t take too long before he can move freely. And now, there are still a lot of things to do before Rhodes.

What should I do first?

Rhode frowned and fell into deep thought...

At the same time, at the place where the floating ship crashed, two figures were slowly walking out of the forest.

"Is this the ship you mentioned?"

The man in the lead spoke coldly, wearing a beautiful white, streamlined armor with patterns engraved with glimmers of gold. If Rhodes were here, he would have recognized that this was the symbol of the guardian officers of the border of the Kingdom of Light.

The man standing behind the man was wrapped in a black cloak, and he could not see his appearance. When facing the man's inquiry, he just nodded slightly as an answer.

"They killed my messenger."

The hoarse voice echoed in the forest under the night sky, giving people a chilling and cold feeling.

"You will actually be killed by such a group of dirty and incompetent mercenaries. It seems that your pet is really incompetent."

"This is not your fault!"

The man in the black cloak suddenly became much higher.

"If you can find me a higher level... dominant level... no, a master level lord, I wouldn't have used this lower creature!"

"What a joke, dominance?"

The man snorted coldly.

"What do you think of us as? We are only responsible for providing resources. You must do your own things. If we can do everything well, then what else do you have to do?"

Speaking here, the man paused, and then his tone slowed down.

“How long does it take to start moving again?”

"It will take at least half a month. Do you think it's easy to find a group of wind snakes that can be manipulated?"

"Give you ten days, and we will double the reward."

Hearing the other party's dissatisfied complaints, the man's face darkened, and then he reached into his arms, took out a purse and threw it over.

"In ten days, I want you to start acting again."

The wallet fell to the ground and made a heavy metal collision sound. The black cloak bent down, stretched out a dry hand to open the wallet, and then closed it immediately.

"Okay, ten days, I will follow the agreement."

"I hope you understand that no third person will know about this."

"Of course I understand... By the way, judging from the situation of this ship, it seems that a few rats ran away. Do you want me to help clean them up?"

"Need not."

The man waved.

"I have my own way."

Hearing his answer, the Black Buckle smiled coldly.

"Very good, then I'll see what you can do."

A thick shadow appeared flat on the ground, wrapping the black cloak inside, and then disappeared. Looking at the place where he disappeared, a trace of obvious disgust appeared on the man's face.

"The insatiable dead will one day even their bones turn into ashes!"

After a cold snorting, the man turned around and glanced at the surrounding forest with a thoughtful expression. Then, he pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword and the other in his mouth, whistling a loud whistle.

Soon, a griffin circled down from the sky and landed on the ground. At the same time, three figures quietly emerged from the depths of the woods. The man looked at them and then turned over and rode on the griffin.

"Go and find those three mice and get rid of them."

Then, he gave the order coldly.
Chapter completed!
