In the next few days, the road was calm. (-< Shuhai Pavilion >-Shuhaige Dot shuhaige Dot com)

Although Metz finally chose them to go with her and also talked with the mercenary group very enthusiastically along the way, he seemed to have forgotten Rhode's invitation to help and kept silent. Rhode was not worried about Metz's performance, because he knew Metz's thoughts very well.

“He will not respond until the midsummer festival ends.”

Looking at the view flying past the window, Rhode raised his brow and then said to Qilian, who was sitting opposite him.

"The nature of a merchant is to value profit, so if he thinks that the losses he may suffer exceed the benefits he may obtain, then he will give up. Even if I saved his life in the forest in the dusk, Metz would not be so honest and listened to me and went down the oil pan with me. I can be sure that he was indeed moved. But this guy still has a certain degree of doubt about the strength of our mercenary group. So, he is waiting for the result of the midsummer festival. If we can perform well, then he will naturally feel much more at ease. But if we perform badly, then we don't have to consider this choice."

"Humans are really a troublesome creature."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Qi Lian chuckled, and she stroked her fluffy tail with one hand, showing a slight contemptuous expression.

"But this is also the advantage of human beings, the troubles of hard work, the thinking of hard work, and the decision of hard work - expect this decision to be a correct choice, not a failure."

"I hope so too."

Just as Rhode shook his head and was about to end the topic, he suddenly noticed a small hand pulling his sleeve. Rhode turned his head and saw Christie looking at him with a soft smile, while raising the drawing board in his hand. What he drew on it was Rhode himself. It has to be said that Christie's painting skills are indeed superb. Although she is a figure drawn with charcoal pen, she suddenly looks like a black and white photo. Just looking at it makes people feel pleasing to the eye, and this has become a way for Christie to make friends, within the Starlight Mercenary Group. People who have a good relationship with her have ever received portraits drawn by girls.

But... Looking at the "brunette beauty" on the drawing board, Rhode couldn't be happy no matter what. He always felt that Christie subconsciously beautified too much, why did he always come from a girl's hand? No matter how Rhode looks at him, it looks like a beautiful woman? Didn't Christie ever notice his masculinity?

Of course, although he was helpless inside, Rhode certainly would not do anything that made Christie sad. So in the face of the paintings shown by Christie, he just smiled and nodded, and reached out and gently stroked Christie's long soft hair.

"It's very well drawn, and it's time for you to rest. Christie."

"Um."

Hearing Rhode's words, Christy nodded happily, then put down the drawing board in his hand. Rhode took out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the charcoal marks on her fingers. Looking at the scene in front of her, Lijie and Marlene, who were sitting on the other side, couldn't help but whisper.

"Mr. Rod is really good to Miss Christie. If it is someone who doesn't know the inside story, he may really think they are sisters... brothers and sisters."

Perhaps because she noticed the biting chill, Lijie trembled all over, but she hurriedly corrected her grammatical error. Marlin picked up the drawing board that Christie placed beside her with surprise and appreciation, and carefully looked at the painting on it. After a while, she sighed.

"Christi's skills are getting more and more sophisticated. With her current skills, I'm afraid there will be no problem in being a court painter. I really didn't expect that she would have such talent. It's amazing..." While muttering to herself, Marin flipped over the paintings on the drawing board, and when Marin saw one of the paintings, his hand, who was originally flipping the drawing paper, suddenly stopped. Then Marin's face turned slightly red, and she instantly put the drawing board together again.

"What's wrong? Marlene? What did you see?"

Sitting next to Marlene, Lijie was also admiring Christie's paintings. The girl was born in nature and painted everything. Over the days, she has always painted the daily lives of some mercenary groups. She even looked a bit like a star-light "sent-passing photojournalist", recording their daily lives.//-< Shuhaige >-//(shuhaigecom-< Shuhaige>-full text) It’s just that this "reporter" does not use a lens, but a brush.

Now, appreciating Christie's paintings every day has become a pastime for many people in their spare time, because girls can always pay attention to some subtleties that others have not noticed at all. Even though everyone sees some things, after Christie's re-embellishment on the drawing board, they will give people a sense of "it's actually like this".

Originally, Lijie was also admiring the pictures on the drawing board, but unexpectedly, Marlene suddenly closed, which made her a little confused. Fortunately, Lijie's eyes hit the drawing board in Marlene's hand at this moment, so she did not notice the pink color that was quickly passing by Marlene's face.

"Nothing, Lijie, but the one behind has not been finished yet..."

Marin was a little vague, and at this time, her abnormality was finally noticed by Lijie. She raised her head curiously and looked at the girl in front of her. Instead, she didn't notice that Qi Lian, who was sitting next to her, was shaking her head, looking at Marin who was a little embarrassed with a gloating expression.

"Malin, you……………”

Just as Lijie was about to say something else, the speed of the carriage suddenly began to slow down. Then, the coachman in front knocked on the window, breaking the awkward and strange atmosphere in the carriage.

"Dear sirs, we are about to arrive at Golden City."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Anne, who was originally leaning against the carriage, suddenly jumped up. Then she opened her eyes and looked out the window, then cheered, and opened the car door without waiting for the carriage to stop, and then jumped out quickly.

Soon, the carriage stopped, and at this time, everyone walked off the carriage one by one, and then they saw an extremely beautiful painting.

Under the early summer sunshine, the city towering in the distance exudes hazy light. The clear lake water surrounds the tall walls. The emerald green forest spreads like a carpet, supporting the gorgeous and dazzling city. It is the center of the entire Duchy of Mun, and it is also the most beautiful and dazzling pearl on this continent - the Golden City.

As a famous city on the entire Dragon Soul Continent, Golden City is vast in area and has a large population. As the transportation center for commercial transportation of Dragon Soul Continent, a total of six rivers gather here, forming a huge lake to surround the city. Among them, Silver Moon River and Emerald River run through the north and south sides of Dragon Soul Continent, while the Crystal River in the east goes straight into the Sea of ​​Falling Dragons, and the transportation is well-connected. The lake surrounding Golden City forms a natural barrier, completely isolating it from the outside world. In addition to five bridges spanning the lake and dozens of meters long, only by boats can we enter this beautiful, sacred and luxurious city.

As the most beautiful and richest city on this continent (the latter is the focus). Various legends about the Golden City have been circulating, including the floor of the entire city being paved with good white jade and on both sides of the road. Exquisite and unique statues stand on the side, the weapons they hold are cast from gold, and their eyes are beautiful and flawless gems. The Angel Temple, located in the center of the Golden City, is the most important. Clear springs flow through both sides of the road, white and smooth, and the temple is dozens of meters high, and there are traces of angels all the time. Legend has it that in this temple, there are rare treasures everywhere, and even the magic crystal lamps on the walls use the most precious fire source crystals. Some people even say that there are beautiful murals carved with gold and silver threads everywhere on the walls, which are dazzling.

As a central city, Golden City is famous for its art, magic technology and transportation industries. The magic technology here is even comparable to the Azus, the city of wizards. The well-connected transportation and fertile water and soil finally made this beautiful and brilliant city.

But there is light and darkness. Although this is a bit old-fashioned, it is a fact.

Rhodes knew very well that on the south side of the Golden City, there was a beautiful red maple forest, and the trees here never withered and looked very pleasing to the eye. But only a few people knew that this was the execution ground for Lydia to execute political enemies and those criminals who were extremely guilty. You must know that this grand duke's persistence in beauty is all-round...

Some of these are real, while others are simply delusions. But there are only two core points in the end, that is, the Golden City is really rich and luxurious and beautiful.

Not to mention that after Lydia came to power, with the character of this grandfather, she naturally wanted to overhaul the entire Golden City. After such a struggle, even if the rumors cannot be said to be 100% true, at least it is not much different.

In fact, this has also caused heated discussions among players in the game. In the eyes of many players, Lydia is very similar to those nouveau riche who has money but nowhere to spend. Based on the novels they read on weekdays, the real aristocrats should be restrained and have rich background and connotation. Instead of relying on the surface gloss made by money to show off their existence. However, some players refute that even if the female grandfather really has money but nowhere to spend, at least she is indeed a good deal in this area. The city she has laid out after spending so much money is indeed amazing. Everyone is a vulgar person and cannot understand the elegant things of abstract painting. Since people spend such a large amount of money but do not feel that the nouveau riche is so vulgar, they have made luxurious and elegant beauty, so just say that the money is worth the money, right?

In fact, this is just one of the contradictory debates about Lydia. For players, they have never seen such a person in power who loves the country and the people, and enjoys so much. From the perspective of the people of the country, this female grandfather is undoubtedly a famous king. But from her own personality, behavior and behavior, she is 100% tyrant and cannot escape... Any post on the forum that debates for Lydia can be turned to more than hundreds of pages. The various psychology in it all introduces ancient and modern issues is really lively, and it can be called a carnival for the whole nation...

At this moment, standing on the edge of the mountain road and looking at the beautiful city in the distance, full of contradictions with its owner, Rhode couldn't help but remember his past game experience. When he and other players first came to this city, they shouted excitedly, like a local bun that had never left the house. Many people even gave up on the task during that time and spent ten days and half a month wandering around. Once they saw a beautiful scenery beyond imagination, they immediately recorded it and put it on the forum. Even later, this place became a place for many online lovers to date, and even he had been getting far away from...............

Rhode shook his head, came back to his senses, and took his eyes back from the city in the distance, and was by his side at this moment. The rest of the guild had long been standing there. Christie stared at the beautiful city with an expression of expectation and amazement. Anne was dancing there excitedly, even making people worried that she would just jump like this.

Marlene's expression was calm. As she grew up in Golden City, she was already very familiar with everything here, so naturally she would not have any special thoughts. Lijie's expression was a bit memorable. She stared at the distant city, with a little uneasy, expectation, pain, hesitation, and determination in her eyes.

It's really interesting.

Looking at Lijie's expression, Rhode frowned. He had never paid attention to Lijie's life experience, but from the fact that she and Marlene met, we can imagine that Lijie must have grown up in the Golden City when she was a child. And her status is not low. As Marlene, how could she run to the street to play with ordinary children?

So, what is Lijie’s true identity?

Thinking of this, Rhode looked at Marlene again, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to ask for it for the time being. He had a premonition that perhaps soon, Lijie would take the initiative to explain all this to herself.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Golden City, everyone got back on the carriage and continued to rush towards Golden City. Soon, they extended the mountain road and arrived at the outer area of ​​Golden City.

Although there are many more people coming to Golden City than usual because of the midsummer festival, as an important transportation hub city, Golden City obviously has a lot of experience in how to divert people. Therefore, although there are many people, they are all very orderly and fast. Most of the people who come here on foot have already entered Golden City by ferries on the dock. For those who come by carriages, not all of them can be allowed to enter the city. In addition to those great nobles, only invited people and trucks carrying goods are allowed to enter through the bridge.

However, as a mercenary group invited by the Midsummer Festival, Rhodes were of course not listed here. Soon, they arrived at the level of the bridgehead and prepared to undergo inspection.

And at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Just as Christie and Anne got out of the carriage and were about to be inspected, a group of knights suddenly rushed towards them. The sudden scene scared Christie so much that she could not react at all. At this moment, Anne hugged Christie and pulled her back suddenly. The group of knights barely passed by the girl, and the dust and smoke brought up instantly enveloped the two of them.

Then he shook his body, blocked everyone's front and stopped.

"What's this guy doing?" Anne rushed forward with dissatisfaction and came to the leader's Knight.

When he saw her coming, the other party was stunned.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Do you know, you almost bumped into someone just now!"

Anne stretched out her finger in dissatisfaction and pointed at the other party.

"Just just now, Christie was hit by your horse. Don't you look at the road without long eyes?"

"Look at the road?"

Hearing this, the man frowned and his face darkened. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed to the flying flag next to him.

"Didn't you see that this is the symbol of the Deo family? You didn't take the initiative to move out of the way, which was already an offense to the Deo family. Humph, a group of rural bullies who don't know how to be hit is worthy of being hit! Besides, aren't you doing well? What else do you want to do?"

"I haven't heard of the Deo family."

Annie raised her eyebrows and clenched her fists.

"Aren't you going to come down and apologize?"

"Hmph, ignorant little people."

Hearing Anne's words, the knight snorted coldly and turned his head. At this time, the four war angels who were in charge of guarding the bridge also noticed the conflict between him and Anne and flew over. They were wearing silver armor, holding spears, and their white wings slammed in the air. The war angel in the head saw the knight in front of him, and his face slightly darkened, but soon returned to his usual appearance.

"What's going on here? Mr. Geer?"

"Nothing, it's just a bunch of savages."

Hearing the angel's questioning, the man replied casually, and then he turned his head.

"By the way, you are here just right. These guys are rude to me. It's really intolerable. A group of country bumpkins actually want to enter the city. Just rely on them? Okay, hurry up and drive these people out, and then pass the inspection. I have urgent matters to be busy on the road."

Hearing the other party's words, the expressions of the war angels changed, and at this moment, Rhode finally came over.

"I think, sir, ~~-You'd better apologize. I'll give you thirty seconds to expire."

"Just you? Who do you think you are?"

Seeing Rhode come forward, the knight showed a strange expression on his face. It seemed that he was a little confused whether the man in front of him was a man or a woman, but even so, his arrogant attitude still did not change at all.

"Get away, country bumpkin, this is not something you like you can come here."

And at this moment, the others began to laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, that's right, you guys get out of here, we're very busy, don't get in the way."

"A group of rural bullies really treat themselves as personalities. They actually want the young master to apologize to them? Who do they think they are?"

Hearing his subordinates' words, the knight's expression became more and more complacent. He looked at Rhodes with a mocking smile and snorted coldly.

"Now I know, you guys don't even have the qualifications to enter the city, why are you still staying here? Get out of here! I'm in a good mood today and don't want to argue with you fools."

"Mr. Geer!"

Hearing this, the leader of the War Angel finally changed his expression.

"Please respect yourself."

And at this moment, suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

"Who said we are not qualified to enter the city?"

"Um?"

Hearing this voice, Geer raised his head and looked behind him. He saw Lijie walking out of the carriage at this moment. While wiping the dust on Christie's face, she frowned and looked at the man in front of her dissatisfiedly.

"I hope you apologize to Christie, sir."

"You? What are you?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Geer smiled, but before he could continue talking, the four battle angels suddenly walked to Lijie, and then they half-kneeled on the ground and saluted the girl solemnly.

"You are back, Your Highness."
