Chapter 433 The whereabouts of the key
In the end, Rhodes was not able to figure out what it was. He just barely guessed that this should be an ultimate talent, but Rhodes was confused about why this talent did not appear. Could it be that this world is also a game world, and he had to wait until the expansion pack is upgraded and patched before the complete system will appear?
Rhodes thought this was really unreliable.
However, he had no time to think about such a difficult thing, because Qilian had returned to the hotel at this moment and brought Rhodes a not particularly good news - they had already received attention from the Eagle City. Today, Qilian had already noticed that many people were observing them secretly, and she herself was also harassed. Of course, for Qilian, it was not difficult to settle these troubles. The Eagle City was not particularly hostile to them, but if this continued, something might happen.
But apart from this, Qi Lian was not without good news. She had already obtained information about the underground maze keys. It turned out that the four key fragments were lying in the safe of the Eagle City Auction House, waiting for auction as decorations. If Rhodes wanted to get these four key fragments, he had no choice but to participate in the auction.
But the problem is………
"The auction only allows local celebrities and nobles from the Eagle City to participate?"
Rhode frowned and stared at the paper in his hand, with a serious expression on his face. Qilian shrugged her shoulders and then nestled on the sofa like a kitten.
"That's right. Master, I've tried it. It's useless to give money. Only insiders can participate in this auction. Although there are no tricks or conspiracies, the specifications are very high. As ours, it's not easy to participate in this auction."
"This is really a trouble..."
Hearing Qi Lian's answer, Rhode couldn't help frowning. This was a good opportunity for Rhode. If he could get the key fragments at this auction, it would be great. Once he lost this opportunity, he would have to run around and not talk about it, but might have to use some unproper and legitimate means to seize the key fragments. Although Rhodes did not have any resistance to these methods. The problem is that the situation inside the Eagle City is not very good now, and he is not an idiot, and he foolishly criticizes others for reasons and goals. Therefore, it would be best to get this thing with legal and legitimate means without people talking.
But...is there really no way?
Thinking of this, Rhodes' eyes turned, and then he stood up.
"Qi Lian, I have something to do and I'll leave it to you. Annie will take care of her and don't let her cause any trouble. I'll go."
"No problem, master."
When Qi Lian heard Rhode's answer, she was stunned for a moment, and then she quickly showed a thoughtful smile and blinked at Rhode.
"Then, I'll wish you a good trip here first."
In fact, Rhodes's method is very simple and direct. Since they are not qualified to enter, just find someone who is qualified to enter and take yourself in. Although Bartel has this qualification, Rhodes has no intention of finding him. Both sides are more or less competitors, and Rhodes can't put this face in front of Bartel. Not to mention that Bartel is not yet the City of Eagle, so it is impossible to ask them for help.
But this does not mean that Rhodes has no target candidate.
"Mr. Rhodes."
When she walked into the reception room, Natasha couldn't help but smile with a happier smile when she saw Rhode. Then she hurriedly lifted her skirt and trotted to Rhode. Now the city lord daughter has finally returned to her standard dress of greenhouse flowers on weekdays, not as embarrassed as before. However, after the hard days before, the young lady has shown some strength and courage that is different from others, which is a good harvest. Glendy also followed Natasha as always. It can be seen that the relationship between these two people is indeed very good.
"I really didn't expect you to come to me. I didn't even come to thank you. If you and your subordinates hadn't protected us, we wouldn't have been able to escape from the Necromancer... I'm so sorry, those who didn't come at that time expressed our gratitude to you."
Speaking of this, Natasha's expression was a little gloomy, because that night after they arrived at the Eagle City, Natasha and Glendy were immediately taken back by the city lord and the security officer who were eager to see. Rhodes and the others were taken to the Battle Angels' garrison to hand over the list of bones. Because the situation was very chaotic at the time, the city lords only expressed their gratitude to Rhodes and others and took them away. On the contrary, Natasha and others did not have time to say anything to their saviors. This made them feel very uneasy, because, in terms of heart, although Rhodes did not care about their lives and death when they first met, but it had to admit that after that, he tried his best to protect the two of them, otherwise, these two people would not be able to reach Eagle City alive.
"Don't mind, Miss Natasha, we didn't take such small things to heart. Everyone is alive, and this is the perfect ending."
Faced with the somewhat depressed girl, Rhode couldn't help but comfort her, and then his eyes turned.
"But to be honest, there is something right now, I hope Miss Natasha can help..."
"What's the matter?"
Hearing this sentence, the girl immediately became energetic. She hurriedly raised her head and looked at Rhodes intently.
"If it's something we can do, I will definitely help you, Mr. Rhodes."
"It's not a big deal, actually."
Faced with Natasha's inquiry, Rhode spread his hands.
"That's right, Miss Natasha, I want to attend the upcoming auction in Eagle City - to be honest, I have a few things I really want to get that will appear at the auction, but I think you know very well that this auction is only open to local celebrities and nobles, and outsiders like me are not qualified to enter the venue. But that thing is really important to me, so if you can, I hope you can help me and win us the qualification to participate in this auction..."
“Auction?”
Hearing this, Natasha was stunned. She didn't expect that Rhode came to find her for this. She had not participated in the auction in Eagle City. She also knew very well that there were rules for the auction. But rules are dead and people live. If someone really wanted to bring his friends in and see, it was not impossible. It was just that he had to say hello to the organizers of the auction in advance. No matter what, the backstage of this auction still had a great influence in this area. If you break their rules silently, you will definitely be rolled and hated. In the future, you may wear this little shoe for you.
Natasha doesn't know much about things that are too complicated, but she thinks she can still help with this.
"I think there is no problem, Mr. Rod, please wait a moment and I will come."
After saying this, Natasha turned around and left the reception room. She left Rhode and Glendy here. Faced with the girl's distant figure, Rhode just shrugged and said nothing. He picked up the teacup, while tasting the black tea in the cup, while watching the surrounding scenery with interest, waiting for Miss Natasha to bring him any good news. Then, Rhode turned his head and looked at Glendy. When he noticed his gaze, the young swordsman standing straight in the place couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
"Mr. Rod, this..."
"You can see that you have a good relationship."
Rod nodded at Glendy.
"How are you doing recently?"
"Mr. Torod's blessing, everything goes well."
Speaking of this, Glendy's expression was a little hesitant, then he looked around, then came to Rhodes' side, and said in a low voice.
"…………… Although this sentence should not be said by me, I still got some news from my father. The Eagle City seems to be a little uneasy recently. Please be careful. According to the news I heard, it seems that someone is trying to detriment to you."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Faced with Glendy's reminder, Rhode nodded in response. He had heard of this from Bartel, so he was mentally prepared for Glendy's reminder-but even he knew about this, does it mean that the other party's actions will be superficial?
And at this moment, Rhode suddenly noticed a darkness, and a cold gaze came from behind him.
He did not look back. Instead, Rhode put down the teacup in his hand and closed his eyes. Soon, his perception spread along the line of sight... But at this moment, Rhode suddenly noticed that the other party had retracted his gaze, and then quickly turned around and left. He pounced on the ground, and there was no trace of the other party at all.
Who is it?
"Click."
Not long after Rhode came to his senses, the door of the reception room opened again, and then Natasha walked in with a smile on her face.
"No problem, Mr. Rod, I've already talked to my father."
Speaking of this, Natasha smiled and handed Rhodes the three badges in her hand.
"Just just take these three badges into the auction hall before the auction starts, and there will be no problems... Please rest assured that Glendi and I will go that day."
That's fine.
Although Rhode was still confused about the sight just now, there was no strangeness on his surface. On the contrary, Rhode stood up and took the three badges handed over by Natasha.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Natasha."
