The magical brilliance shone from the side of the hull, and the flawless brilliance quickly enveloped the entire ship from bottom to top. A layer of invisible protective cover also unfolded at this time. Soon, everyone felt the cold wind that was originally whistling through the hollow disappeared, and then, the heavy and huge warship began to move forward slowly.

Rhode stood on the deck and looked up. He could feel the slight tremor of the deck under his feet. For a moment, Rhode felt that he had become one with the ship. He could even keenly feel the roaring tide under his feet swept the warship in front of him, approaching the sky like a huge wave. Many people had stopped talking, and they all raised their heads at the same time. Looking at the scene in front of him, the earth slowly "falling" downward in front of them. The sky that was originally out of reach for them was approaching them. The thick and thick clouds were divided into two like soft bread in front of the sharp bow. Then, for a moment, everything around everyone was covered by clouds and mist. Looking around, you could only see thick and thick clouds from all directions, and the white clouds seemed to cover everything.

And the next moment, the battleship broke through the clouds.

In just a blink of an eye, the thick clouds disappeared from both sides of the battleship like cotton torn by the wind, and the dazzling sunshine and the azure sky returned to everyone's vision. The boundless and infinite blue formed this new world. The thick and huge magic warship was now like soaring in the sea of ​​clouds, riding the wind and waves, and moving forward.

“Wow…………………”

Lijie and Anne were already attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. They stood by the railings and looked at the beautiful and dreamy scene in front of them. Although in the Duchy of Moon, due to the existence of floating ships, most people on this continent have experience in riding floating ships. But just like warships also have tonnage distinctions, not every floating ship can fly to such an altitude. Most civilian floating ships can only fly in the air, but because of the insufficient power of the magic mechanism, they can only float at the height of the Feng Tide itself. Only these magic warships that have been specially designed and manufactured have this ability. Standing on the edge of the deck, watching the clouds below split under the warships and separate to both sides. This beautiful view is also enough to make people feel relaxed.

However, Rhode did not focus on enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of him. On the contrary, he raised his head with interest and looked at the sky in front of him. During the day, it looked no different from the sky on earth. Only at night, the halos and full moons floating in the night sky can be seen. However, Rhode was very curious that since the technology of the Dragon Soul Continent can reach such a height, can they continue to develop, can they allow the magic warships to break through the atmosphere? At that time, what kind of scene will this continent outside the atmosphere be?

However, for Rhodes, this was just a guess of his boredness in his spare time.

No matter what kind of beautiful scenery it was, it was a day of trouble. When Rhode left the deck and walked into the cabin, he soon saw Marlene, Lijie and several other noble children having tea and chatting there. They sat in the warm room, leaning against the long floor-to-ceiling window, while admiring the beautiful scenery outside, while sitting gracefully on a chair, holding up teacup and chatting. For some reason, seeing this scene in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but think of an old movie called "Madam," which he had watched a long time ago, called Titanic... It's really unlucky.

"Rod, I really didn't expect you to come here. How about you? Do you want to chat with us?"

Seeing Rhode's figure, Marin immediately stood up with a smile and greeted him. Marin's actions immediately attracted the attention of several other young people. They immediately raised their heads and looked at Rhode. As everyone's eyes were gaze, Rhode had to shrugged helplessly and then walked towards everyone.

"Of course there is no problem, Marlene, as long as you don't disturb you."

"There is nothing to disturb or disturb, Earl Rod."

Hearing Rhode's words, a young man who looked only twenty-five or twenty-six years old stood up from the chair with a smile, smiled enthusiastically at Rhode, and then took the initiative to reach out to the other party.

"Hello, Earl Rod, I'm Drank Fass for the first time."

"Hello, Mr. Fass."

Hearing the young man in front of him, Rhode couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Of course he knew who the person in front of him was. The Fas family is also one of the three major families of the Moon Principality. They have almost a relationship between light and shadow with the Sunia family. If the Shania family mainly makes magic equipment such as "hardware" for the Moon Principality, then the Fas family's task is to cultivate "software" such as spell casters for the Moon Principality. Drank Fass is also a leader among them, and is also a very famous figure in the game. He is also one of the well-known talents in the Moon Principality. Because there has been no direct comparison, Rhode does not know which one is better than Marin in the game. But at least now, Rhode can be sure that Marin is one head taller than him. Not to mention anything else, the spellcaster skills created by players learned from Canary are enough to make this guy drink a pot.

What Drank is most famous among players is not his strength or wisdom, but his marriage. When he was twenty-five years old, he had already married his biological sister. His sister was only half a year older than him, while his sister was only sixteen years old. Both of them were as beautiful as flowers. Although the Fas family has always had a tradition of intermarriage between the same clan in order to maintain the pure bloodline of the family, this still aroused the envy of many players. At that time, many players lamented that it would be worth it if they could have such a life and death......... This kind of damn winner in life should be burned!

At present, the top ten people who were listed by the FF group to be tied up and burned to death by the top burned team are now full of energy. It is obvious that he was also valued by Lydia this time and joined the delegation. In fact, Rhode also found that other people besides himself were more or less excited about being able to participate in the delegation. The reason is probably because they are all from the Duchy of Mun and have been educated to respect the Dragon Soul of Light since childhood. Now they have the opportunity to participate in the Dragon Soul Holy Book, and even see the Dragon Soul of Light with their own eyes and are blessed by the Dragon Soul. This is the supreme glory for these young people. Even Anne, a carefree girl who is usually careless, seems very excited.

The only one who ran and danced, but Rhode himself couldn't get excited at all. He was like the unsociable person who watched everyone dancing wildly while leaning against the corner and drinking silently. As a time traveler and so miserable player who was also implicated by the Dragon Soul of Light in the game, Rhode really found it difficult for Rhode to look forward to the reception of the Dragon Soul of Light as others. Although he knew that in the current historical process, the incompetence of the Dragon Soul of Light has not brought any harm to the Duchy of Mun. The conflict between Mun and the Kingdom of Light is still carried out in private and has not intensified to the surface. But Rhode still sees them unhappy. Don't ask why, it's just unhappy anyway.

"You're so good. Earl Rod, we're talking about you just now."

Although Rhodes' performance seemed a little cold, Drank didn't seem to care. He smiled and spoke.

"oh?"

Hearing Drank's speech, Rhode looked at the people next to him with some curiosity. Sure enough, Rhode saw a look of curiosity and interestingness among them.

"I hope I'm not saying anything bad about me."

"Of course not. Count Rod, we are just very curious."

At this time, a young woman sitting next to Marlene reached out, raised her gold-rimmed glasses, and spoke.

"We all heard that His Highness Lydia once invited two legendary strong men around you to participate in the Dragon Soul Holy Book, but they did not appear... This is really something that makes us very curious and puzzled."

When many people heard the female bachelor's words, they nodded slightly. This time Lydia's invitation was not a secret, and everyone knew the list of members of the delegation. The names of Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum and Canary naturally attracted a lot of attention. Not to mention their strange and difficult names that are hard to avoid being noticed, just the rumors about these two ladies are enough to attract everyone's attention. They are only fourteen or five or sixteen years old, but they have the ability to peak legend. If it is difficult for many people to be credible before the two teamed up to expel the Demon Lord of the Demon Lord, then the battle of Xiao Xiao Bubble Gum to destroy the Sword Saint of Lan can be said to have confirmed their reputation. After all, no one has seen the Demon Lord. However, the appearance of the Sword Saint of Lan has become a waste of people.

Originally, many people were looking forward to meeting these two legendary masters when they joined the delegation this time and witnessing their heroic appearance. However, they did not expect that Little Bubble Gum and Canary would not give Lydia a face, and they did not come at all!

Fortunately, Lydia gave Rhodes a lot of face. She didn't ask any questions about the two people who didn't come. Rhodes couldn't explain to Lydia the existence of Phantom Guards, which was too unreliable. But he didn't expect that he didn't need to explain to Lydia, but now he had to face other people's inquiries.

Fortunately, Rhodes were not unprepared.

"Of course they are very happy to be invited by His Highness, but now they both have their own research to complete and they can't find time to participate. What's more, their sense of the Kingdom of Light is not very good, so to be honest, they actually don't like to go to places like the Kingdom of Light."

"I remember Miss Canary and Miss Bubble were both your subordinates before, Rhodes."

At this time, Marin, who had been silent beside her, spoke up.

"If you say this, have you ever gone to the Kingdom of Light before?"

"Yes, Marlene."

Hearing Marin's inquiry, Rhode couldn't help but look at her. Of course he knew what Marin said about this topic. To gain the recognition of these young geniuses, strength itself is not the most important thing. Rich experience and knowledge is. The reason why Marin did this was to give Rhode a chance to show himself. As long as he could perform well, it could eliminate the hostility and disagreement of others towards him. This is also a rule in the circle, and Rhode will certainly miss this good opportunity. He does not want to stand up for an enemy for no reason. Although Rhode has made many enemies, at least he knows what his enemies are. It's better to forget about being shot inexplicably when walking on the mainland...

"For a long time before this, I went out with my companions and subordinates to explore and feel the mystery and magic of this continent. There is an old saying in my hometown that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. Many times, what you have experienced in person is far more useful than what you read in books. Of course, I have been to the Land of Light, which is not a pleasant and friendly memory. I think you are also very clear about this. In the Land of Light, others do not know what you come from Moon, so they treat you as enthusiastically as ordinary people. But once they know that you come from Moon, they will immediately change to another face. It is like a group of thugs, villains and hooligans in front of them......"

Speaking of this, Rhode couldn't help but shrugging, and sighed deep in his heart.

Is Lydia a good monarch? Of course, how is her rule? Of course, she is still wise and powerful, but it is absolutely impossible for Lydia and even the ruling class of the Duchy of Moon to be perfect and perfect. In fact, in Rhodes's view, Lydia's ruling class has a very fatal problem.

That is, they are very arrogant.

Why can the Land of Light have a high reputation and support among the people? One of the reasons is that their politicians always choose to go deep into the people, and they will use speeches and publicity in the square to let the people hear their thoughts and voices at close range. No matter how much lies account for, at least they still put down their posture to enjoy the people. This makes the people feel that they are valued and respected. Naturally, they have a good impression of the parliament. But on the other hand, perhaps because of the gap between races, war angels such as Lydia have never done this. They have never thought about explaining anything to the people, nor have they

Some people say that they would go among the people to incite or incite them to listen to their own words. They are only responsible for issuing orders, and the people below follow them to follow them. This is like the war angels and the nobles. Just like Marlene, although she can communicate and contact with the civilians with a smile, and listen to their ideas and opinions. But she will not regard these people as much importance. In Marlene's opinion, the opinions of these people can only be used as a reference. As a noble, it is impossible for him to modify his ideas and ideas to cater to the ideas of ordinary people, which is simply an insult to the nobles.

The lack of voice is a weakness and weakness of the Duchy of Mun. A large part of the reason why the reformists in the south were able to be supported by the people and finally revolted was that they learned the practice of the Land of Light. Although the southern nobles and merchants did not come forward themselves, they subtly spread rumors that were beneficial to them through the mercenary groups and mercenary guilds controlled by their own hands, and at the same time belittled and smeared the Moon royal family. An ordinary tax collection could be said by them as Lydia wanted to buy new furniture and silk and tried to squeeze the assets of the people. A bandit attack on the regular army could be said by them as the spontaneous resistance of the people under the tyranny.

The royal family will not let go of their stance to refute rumors, and they will say whatever they like. Not to mention that the people in the south are generally far away from war and threats. After staying in a peaceful society for a long time, they will naturally believe in whatever they hear. As the saying goes, lies become the truth, and the reformists spare no effort in the south to discredit the Moon royal family. The royal family does not come out to do anything to face the sound, and the result is naturally turbulence and turbulence. Faced with these rumors, the Moon royal family seems to adopt a passive response method of "the clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid". They think they have not done such a thing, and they have a clear conscience. Since they have a clear conscience, they naturally do not need to explain anything to others like a criminal suspect.

The reason why the north did not believe these rumors was largely because unlike the south where life was stable, they were directly threatened, and the Battle of Wanhua was a shame and pain for the entire north. In this case, the north would naturally move closer to the royal family, and at the same time resisted the south in the spirit of "whatever the enemy opposed should be supported, and we should oppose that the enemy supports should be opposed." Therefore, from this perspective, the reason why the north is not affected by rumors in the south is largely due to the fact that the north is not affected by rumors in the south is largely due to the fact that the north is not affected by rumors in the south.

The upper class is to protect their own interests and Lydia's personal charm, while the royal family itself has nothing to do with public opinion and public relations. The entire ruling class, except for publishing announcements during important events, or showing their faces to make some inspiring speeches at celebrations and ceremonies, is basically very cold to the people. Because the pride and pride of the nobles make them feel that they are superior to others, as pride, if the common people say anything, we have to respond to something, then it would be too embarrassing.

The cleverness of the Council of Light is to seize this point, creating the image of the Moon royal family being arrogant and rude among the people, and being like a pig or dog to the people. The Moon royal family itself looked down on the Council of Light. He did not want to refute or refute it in the past, so he fell deeper and deeper into it. In a sense, the disaster in the Principality of Moon has nothing to do with themselves.

However, Rhodes knew that this was a profound social and cultural problem. Even on earth, there was no way to resolve disputes between classes for nearly a thousand years until now. No matter in which country, the privileged class would always be above the common people. The difference is that some of them know how to manipulate and use public opinion to gain a good mask and image for themselves. But even so, it is just a superficial, false prosperity. In fact, the status of a beggar wandering on the street is never comparable to that of a financial tycoon with a brightly dressed on Wall Street. The latter can manipulate radio, television and other media to control everything, while the former is protesting or protesting, and in the end it is still protesting, but even if they protest until death, they will not solve any problem. The only meaning of their existence is that they protest.

It's on the earth where human physical strength is relatively equal, and in this other world where there are serious inequality from race to physical fitness and even strength. If you want to convince the nobles and privileged classes to respect the opinions of the civilians, Rhodes thinks that it's tiring enough, and he doesn't have that ability. He is not Martin Luther King, nor Abraham Lincoln. What's more, even if they prove that mouth cannons are not omnipotent. Even without magic and soul power, a bullet can still shut them up completely at the fastest speed in the shortest time.

However, these can only be thought of by Rhode himself in private. He didn't even mention them to Marlene, because it was purely a blind man who was useless to light a lamp. At present, he was even more unlikely to mention this extremely profound and complex social issue in front of others. So soon, Rhode changed the topic and began to tell his "adventure history" on the mainland. This was not difficult at all. With his rich adventure experience and experience in the game, taking out a little something was enough to open the eyes of these young masters and ladies.

And this is indeed the case.

Although there are also many of these young people who have traveled abroad. However, when it comes to their experience of traveling abroad, they are definitely not as good as Rhodes who have traveled almost every corner of the continent and have left their own footprints in hell and the bottomless abyss. In addition, although Rhodes looks very cold on the surface, when he opened the conversation, everyone was surprised to find that the young man was not taciturn at all. Not only was he familiar with the customs and cultural customs of various places, he even had some mysterious historical rumors. Moreover, Rhodes' eloquence was not bad, and for a while, everyone was even more intoxicated. Even many of the information and information they only heard occasionally, Rhodes could quickly restore a detailed scene for them. What is even more incredible is that Rhodes's narrative did not make people feel exaggerated or randomly made up, as if everything he said must be true.

When Rhode finally stopped and came to an end, everyone realized that it was already dusk, and the sun fell under the clouds, placing a layer of golden light on the sea of ​​clouds outside the porthole.

"It's unimaginable, Count Rhode."

A girl put her hands together on her chest, and her eyes widened at the black-haired man in front of her.

"I never imagined that a person could have such a rich adventure and experience. I even wanted to report to my family after I went back and ask them to allow me to travel for a while. After listening to your story, I realized that the knowledge I just obtained from books was so poor. Perhaps... we should not only use our own minds to think about problems, but personal experience is also very important."

“That’s true.”

When the girl heard the girl's words, the man next to him nodded in agreement. During this conversation, he had asked Rhode many questions in books more than once, but these questions were easily resolved by Rhode. Not only that, he also corrected the man many gaps and mistakes in books and reality.

"Now, I think I can understand why you have achieved such a success in such a short time."

At this time, Drank Fass also showed a thoughtful expression. He stared at Rhodes quietly, his eyes even showing a bit of admiration.

"To be honest, dear Count Rod, I thought your success was largely a component of luck. But now it seems that your rich experience is the basis of all this. After listening to your story, I am not surprised at all by your achievements. I hope... we still have the opportunity to continue asking you for advice."

"Of course there is no problem."

Faced with Drank's words, Rhode nodded slightly, then reached out and held the other person.

He could feel that at this time, those eyes that had already remained hostile and suspicious towards him had now turned into praise and surprise, and even a little respect.

It seems that the effect is good.

Rod looked at Marlene beside him. Feeling Rhode's gaze, Marlene also turned her head and looked at Rhode with a smile. A little pride flashed in her eyes.
Chapter completed!
