Chapter 96: The Destiny of Intersection (IV)
After Rhode left the Land of Atonement, Leo was responsible for training Joey's thieves, and on weekdays he was responsible for secretly protecting Sarah's alchemy workshop. The next step was to monitor the situation around the stronghold. It has to be said that in this regard, the matter of the Dark Elf is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary thieves. However, her relationship with others is limited to this. In fact, there are several factions in Rhode's harem. Canary has followed Rhode for the longest time and is most familiar with Rhode, so he is the leader among everyone.
The Canary, and the Canary, are gentle and powerful. So although she is not the most beautiful among all people in terms of appearance, in fact, almost no one will object to what Canary said. Then, because Marlene and Lijie were childhood sweethearts, they went to Rhode's bed together, so they naturally became closer. The two formed an invisible offensive and defensive alliance. Of course, they and Anne and Canary got along well. Therefore, although they knew each other's relationship with Rhode, they were not disgusted.
Although Labis has a good impression of Rhodes, he has not made it to "that step", so it is considered a situation, and Seven Love is a variable and is not easy to figure out. As for Christie, there is no need to mention it. The women around Rhodes are very clear about Rhodes' feelings for Christie, at least not the kind of feeling that they want to hug her into bed.
But people like Leo and Sonia... are somewhat unacceptable to others. Although Rhodes has never disclosed his relationship with Leo and Sonia to others, women are very sensitive in this regard, so neither Anne, Lige nor Marlene rarely contacts Leo. As a member of the Council of Light, Sonia had conflicts with everyone in the Land of Atonement before, so naturally she was not in the queue that was popular with them. Because of her transcendent status, Canary doesn't have to care about these. And based on her understanding of Rhodes, she certainly knew the status of the two women in Rhodes' psychology.
Because of this, Marlin complained about the trouble caused by Leo this time. This was not only because of the jealousy of women, but because Leo did not have much social interaction with them, so she naturally could not help Leo like she did when she treated Lijie, Anne, Labis and others. And this time, Leo was wrong first. After all, it was too much to attack the diplomatic envoys from other countries for no reason!
So after Leo failed to attack and was arrested this time, Marlene did not ask for release or put Leo on her side to imprison her. Instead, she let Corinna detain Leo - on the one hand, it also means to calm Corinna down. On the other hand, it is because, as a woman of Rhode, she does not like dark elves like Leo. Fortunately, Marlene also knows that Rhode doesn't have much affection for Leo. If Rhode is affectionate about this dark elves and loves him to death, Marlene will definitely be jealous. The jealousy that will be knocked down by then will be to make up for it...
Although Marlene did not say too many bad things about Lio in front of Rhode, Rhode still noticed her and Lige's deep dissatisfaction with Lio, but Rhode did not intend to resolve it. As Marlene thought, Rhode had little feelings for Lio, but was more of an obsession. Before, it was just because he wanted to make Lio completely surrender to himself. Be his loyal subordinate and modify the contract for soul sacrifice. Even that time was not out of love, but out of Rhode's own needs, and he only satisfies his curiosity that had not tasted the taste of dark elf. If you really want to talk about feelings, I'm afraid Rhode has more toward Celestina than toward Lio. In Rhode's heart, he is a master-servant relationship. As for talking about feelings,... it has not reached that point yet.
Because of this, Rhodes did not try to eliminate Marine and Lijie's dissatisfaction with Leo. First of all, Leo did too much this time, which was a headache. Secondly, as a veteran of the flower group, Rhodes also quite understands women's psychology. Even if the Dragon Soul Continent is not monogamous like the earth, women cannot accept an outsider so peacefully, especially an outsider who they do not understand and are not important. So Rhodes did not intend to be a good person, and insisted that Marine and Lijie be more open-minded and tell them that Leo is actually a good person... I hope that everyone can take into account the overall situation and harmony in the harem, etc.... Rhodes is very clear that if he really does that, it will cause the rhythm of Xiao Wall. At that time, maybe even the blood will be created in the end.
So in the face of Marlene and Lijie's complaints, he did not refute or explain. He just nodded and listened to the two of them. Because Rhode also knew Marlene and Lijie's personalities very well, they complained in front of them at most and only expressed the embarrassment and dissatisfaction that Lio caused to them. He did not intend to take this opportunity to blacklist Leo so that Rhode could kick her out of here quickly. Especially Lijie, she is a spiritual master of the church, and she is still responsible for fighting training for spiritual masters in the church during this period. As a result, this incident happened, which naturally made her feel embarrassed. Not to mention Marlene, as the substantial person in charge of the land of atonement when Rhodes was absent, she was also responsible for handling the internal and diplomatic impacts brought by this matter, which was even more troublesome.
So Rhodes would not be stupid enough to accuse or refute the complaints of the two. They just comforted them a little and calmed their resentment. Of course, this was just superficial comfort. The real actual action may have to be done until tonight by Rhodes...
That being said, people still have to be harvested. Moreover, no matter what, Corinna is the representative of the Kingdom of Law. When encountering such a thing, as the lord, she naturally has to come forward in person. However, this also requires a method, but for Rhodes, the method has never been a problem.
After some preparation, Rhodes soon arrived in front of the church in the fortress. This was a tall triangular building built of black stone bricks. It was different from the magnificent religious buildings that Rhodes saw on earth. The church buildings gave people a feeling of low-key, heavy, and calm. They looked more like a collection of banks and courts, full of unquestionable majesty and nobility. The most conspicuous thing was the sign hanging on the gate of the church - the badge of the dragon holding long swords and balances at both ends, which was also the symbol of the Kingdom of Law.
As the representative of the Kingdom of Law, Corinna lives in the side courtyard of the church. As an elf, she does not need any particularly comfortable and luxurious life. As long as she can sleep and eat, it is enough. After reporting her name, Rod and others were soon taken to the side courtyard, where he met Corinna and Leo who was locked in a water prison.
The so-called water prison of the elves is naturally not the kind of water prison under Rhode Castle, with rotten and smelly puddles everywhere. It is a square connected completely by the water barrier. Leo was locked up inside, but what made Rhode curious was that the dark elves at this moment were not depressed at all. On the contrary, she gritted her teeth and stared at Corinna not far away with a deep hatred, as if Corinna had killed her biological parents... But for the dark elves, isn't it common for the whole family to kill people?
Seeing Rhode arrive, Corinna also raised her head and looked at him, but soon, a look of surprise flashed in Corinna's eyes.
Of course, Rhodes would not come alone when he went to the church this time, but the combination he brought was unexpected - in addition to Canary, this time, Agave and Rabis were also following Rhodes to the church together, as well as the two petite figures wrapped in white cloaks.
Gray Hill and Madalas.
"Hello, Lord Lord."
Seeing this combination, Corinna was a little confused, but she still stood up quickly and nodded to Rhodes. Rhodes quickly returned a greeting.
"I'm so sorry for taking the time to disturb me, Miss Corinna."
Rhode saluted Corina and raised his head.
"I think you should know why I came here. Miss Corinna. I apologize to you solemnly for my subordinates' ruthless behavior. This is a dereliction of duty caused by my poor consideration. Please forgive me."
"This is not the problem, Lord Lord."
As soon as he talked about the serious matter, Corinna's expression immediately became serious. She frowned and stared at Rhode in dissatisfaction.
"I'm very disappointed with you. I always thought you would be a good friend of our elves, but now............ I was really surprised that you would hang out with the dark elves. Do you have anything to say about this?"
“I think it’s just a misunderstanding.”
Faced with Corina's inquiry, Rhode's expression remained unchanged. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and then answered.
"Leo was the captive I obtained in the previous battle. After that, she surrendered to me and became my subordinate. I know the grudges between the elves and the dark elves, but please forgive me for their rudeness. These grudges do not seem to have much to do with me as a human being. I sincerely apologize to you for the losses and shocks caused to you because of this incident, and are willing to compensate you. But beyond that... I am sorry, I cannot promise anything."
"She is a dark elves, Lord Lord. Although she doesn't look like her, she should know very well what the dark elves represent."
"Of course, Miss Corinna. I don't want to say that there are aliens among the dark elves to impress you, but Leo is my subordinate after all. For me, whether it is an elves or a dark elves, as long as they are my subordinates, it will be the same."
“………………………………………”
This time, Corinna did not answer immediately. After all, everyone around Rhodes was too convincing. If there were only dark elves around him, then Corinna could think that the other party was just making excuses. But looking at the elves around Rhodes, Corinna had nothing to say.
Even Rhode himself sighed at this time. He looked around and couldn't help but whistle in his heart. This can almost be said to be a historical gathering of the elves. Elemental Elf, White Elf, Moon Elf, Alchemy Elf, Dark Elf... This is the living history of the elves. From beginning to end, there is no vacancy at all. Elemental Elf was the earliest spirit that branched out from the elves into the elemental world.
Spirit Race. White Elf is the oldest and most glorious race of the elves. Moon Elf is the race that replaced the glorious white Elf after the Creation War. Belhems and the Dark Elf have produced new elves branches to avoid the Creation War... If Agave, Glenhill, Madaras, Corinna, Labis and Leo each tell the history of their race. It would be a complete elf chronicle.
"But I still remind you that Lord Lord, the dark elves are different from other elves, they are evil, cruel, and……………”
“Bad talk!!”
At this moment, Leo, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. She stood in the water prison and stared at the surprised Corinna angrily.
"It is you who are obviously evil and cruel! You evil goblins chased us mercilessly on the surface of the earth, slaughtering our women, children and children, and forcing us to hide in the dark underground! You call us betrayers, but in fact you are the most hypocritical and evil betrayers! Even if we find a new life in the dark underground, you never give up trying to destroy us. Didn't you? We had always longed for peace, but the blood-stained sword was your only answer!"
"Varied……………………"
Hearing this, Corinna was stunned. She looked at Leo blankly, unable to say a word.
"Any elves who dare to disobey you and have different values from you will be expelled and killed. This is what you hypocritical surface elves do! We can only hide in the dark and dark underground, hang out with the devil, and dance with the dead, all because of you cruel and arbitrary goblins!"
“………………………………………”
Hearing this, even Labis next to him showed a somewhat agreeable expression. Not to mention his previous words, the Belhems clan was forced to leave because their concept of transforming nature and life was not recognized by the elves clan and he was forced to leave and eventually embarked on the road to destruction. From this point of view, she and Leo also have some common language. From this, it can be seen that the elves clan is not as innocent as Corinna claims.
Agave was quietly watching everything in front of her, without saying anything. As elemental elves, they went to the elemental world as early as the beginning of their creation, and the war on the main plane had nothing to do with them. Instead, Grayhill and Madalas couldn't help but tilted their heads and stared at the scene in front of them curiously. After all, they can be said to be witnesses of this contradictory history, and even created the existence of this history with their own hands.
"This is just a lie made up by the Dark Elves!"
Corinna seemed to have never thought that she would get such an answer from the Dark Elf, which made the moon elf girl very confused for a moment.
"It was clearly you who gave up fighting with the enemy to escape the war and fled into the ground. This has nothing to do with us! What you said is nonsense!!"
“The history of the winner.”
Faced with the dispute between Corinna and Leo in front of him, Rhode shrugged, then turned to the canary beside him and said. The canary smiled slightly and did not speak. In fact, whether it is the moon elves, the dark elves or the alchemy elves, they have a certain subjectivity in historical records. In this regard, perhaps only the elemental elves and white elves who are transcendent can have enough say.
However, Rhodes did not come here to help the elves integrate a unified understanding of history.
"Okay, two."
Thinking of this, he made up his mind and walked forward, stopping the two of them from further movements. He looked at Leo first, lowered his face and spoke.
"Miss Leo, I think you should understand that this is not a dark underground. No matter what kind of past the dark elves have encountered, it has nothing to do with us. You are my subordinate now, and the hatred between the dark elves and elves is a past history. I don't want you to have any impact on my territory because of this kind."
“………………………………………”
Facing Rhode's words, Leo did not speak. She just gritted her teeth, closed her mouth and lowered her head. At this time, Rhode turned around and looked at Corinna next to her.
"Miss Corinna, I apologize to you about the danger you encountered this time, and I promise you that I will punish Leo and that she will not do anything like this again. If you have any need, you can make it possible to make it as compensation, as long as it is within my ability, then I will do it as much as possible."
"But…………………"
Hearing Rhode's answer, Corinna frowned, and she looked at Rhode, but soon, Corinna turned her eyes to Grayhill and Madalas next to her. After a moment of silence, she nodded helplessly.
"Well, I hope you can keep your promise, Lord Lord. I will remember your words, this time, I will not pursue it anymore. And I will not report to the Kingdom of Law. However, I do not want the same thing to happen again, so Lord Lord, just treat it as you owe me a promise."
Then, Corinna spoke.
ps: I think my update time has become weird again... When can I change it back to a little normal...
