Chapter 105 Falling Eagle's Beacon (II)
Hearing the man's words, Rod raised his brows, he glanced at Souther curiously, and then looked at the young man in front of him. It was obvious that the two of them were not mentally prepared for this sudden encounter. At this moment, they were just staring at each other blankly, staring at each other with big eyes, but they couldn't say anything. Faced with the expressions of the two, Rod shrugged his shoulders, and then he coughed gently. Until he heard the cough, the two of them reacted. They turned their heads awkwardly and looked around. They saw that many people in the hotel lobby were looking in this direction, which made the two of them sit down quickly without blushing their faces.
"Why are you here? Big brother?"
After sitting down, the young man named Bai Ye hurriedly began to ask. He looked at the people next to him curiously, but he could not see the details of these people. However, he was sure that these people were all very strong, especially the black-haired man wearing a black noble dress who looked younger than himself. From him, Bai Ye could vaguely feel a breath full of great oppression. This was very rare for him...
"I'm back with something."
Souther looked at Rhodes and saw that Rhodes did not intend to take over the conversation. Instead, he started watching the show mode and had no choice but to answer. In fact, this time when he returned to Dongfangshanyuan, Souther was a little guilty and uneasy in his heart. This is another reason why he was not ecstatic when facing Rhodes' proposal. The war corps is also an alternative in Dongfangshanyuan. He rarely deals with others on weekdays. However, because Dongfangshanyuan has no trouble, and the existence of the war corps has helped them block the attack of the undead creatures, the people of Dongfangshanyuan have a peaceful attitude towards the war corps. However, now, the war corps has lost their own base, which has brought danger to the residents of Dongfangshanyuan, so Souther is quite "feeling to see the elders of Jiangdong".
So after coming to Dongfangshanyuan, Soth has always been low-key and low-key. As a result, fate still likes to make fun of people. He just entered Dongfangshanyuan for a day and was recognized by people. Bai Ye is not his own brother, but he used to be a resident of the war corps, but not everyone has enough strength to join the war corps. Bai Ye is one of them. His strength is not weak, but he is still a little worse than the war corps, so he finally left the war corps and went to another place to seek a way out. After hearing about the war corps, Bai Ye hurried back, but at that time the war corps had been withdrawn, but he didn't expect that Soth would return here again now.
The two talked about their recent situation to each other, and then quickly got to the point.
"Brother, you don't expect to regain Luoying Mountain."
Although Southus did not give a positive answer, the young man named Bai Ye couldn't help but frown after hearing Southus's words.
"If this is the case, then you must be mentally prepared. This time the elders recruited people to attack Luoying Mountain. One of the rewards proposed was that if anyone can expel the Immortal Legion of Luoying Mountain, they will be named the Lord of Luoying Mountain. Now many people are looking for this. If you want to retake Luoying Mountain, it may not be so easy..."
"this……………"
Hearing this, Soth's expression became a little ugly. It was no wonder. Although the war corps had withdrawn from Luoying Mountain, to be honest, they did not plan to continue staying in Dongfang Mountain. But after all, they lived on the mountain for generations and had already had feelings for each other. If it weren't for the fact that they could not support it this time, they would not want to leave Luoying Mountain and go to the place of atonement. But now, when they came back again, they found that their original home had become someone else's bargaining chips, and no one would feel good after hearing this.
However, South is one of the deputy commanders of the war corps after all. Although he felt uncomfortable, he quickly calmed down and then spoke.
"I don't plan to retake Luoying Mountain Peak. Brother, this time I came back mainly for some private affairs of the war corps..."
"So you want to go back to Luoying Peak?"
Hearing South's answer, Bai Ye frowned in embarrassment. At this time, he turned his head and looked at the people next to South. Bai Ye had just found that South seemed to be a little unwilling to let go, which was rare in his opinion. How could he say that his elder brother is also one of the deputy commanders of the war corps, and the people around him look much younger than him at this moment. Why... Thinking of this, Bai Ye couldn't help but look at everyone curiously, and then he set his sight on Rhodes.
"What are these?"
"this……………"
Hearing Bai Ye's inquiry, Souths hesitated. As the deputy commander of the war corps, he always had political sensitivity. Rhodes was also the lord of Glenbel. Now that he came to Dongfangshanyuan, he had to mix in the matter of Luoying Mountain. Originally, Souths didn't think there was any problem. However, when he learned from Bai Ye that the elders actually proposed to hand over Luoying Mountain to the people who defeated the undead creatures to manage, he had to move more. At this time, if Rhodes' identity was revealed, it might be a problem. But if he did not come out and was discovered in the future.........
Thinking of this, Souther couldn't help but look at Rhodes. The latter had no expression on his face and didn't even give him a hint, as if he was waiting for him to introduce himself. This made Souther hesitate in his heart. Is the Lord a test of him or have any ideas? But he knew that he could not delay too long, so Souther finally made up his mind. He looked at Rhodes and the people around him first, and then spoke.
"This... this is the Lord of Glenbel, Lord Rhodes."
"Glenbell?"
Bai Ye was obviously shocked when he heard Soth's introduction. He looked at Rhode in surprise, but this time Bai Ye did not show any doubts. After all, Rhode had long been famous, and everyone knew his characteristics. As long as he saw it in person, there was no way he could not guess his true identity... At this time, Bai Ye hurriedly stood up from the chair again and saluted Rhode solemnly.
"I don't know if the Lord of Glenbel's leader will come here. It's really rude. Please forgive me..."
“It doesn’t matter.”
Rhodes was still that ordinary face, and he could not tell at all that he was satisfied or dissatisfied with South's exposure of his true identity. Faced with Bai Ye's salute, he just waved his hand.
"I am the lord of Glenbel, not the lord of Dongfangshanhara, and you do not need to salute me. Here, I am an outside guest, you are the master, that's it."
"Yes, I understand what you mean, Lord Rhodes."
Hearing Rhode's words, Bai Ye's originally nervous expression finally relaxed a lot, but he still looked at the man in front of him curiously and cautiously, organizing his words.
Rhode himself did not know that there were actually many rumors about him in Dongfangshanhara. On the one hand, it was because the Land of Atonement has been fighting with the undead recently, so it was inevitable that he felt a little sympathetic with Dongfangshanhara. The reason why Dongfangshanhara was very transcendent in the major territories of Mun before was because of their character, and on the other hand, they actually had nothing to talk about with other territories. The residents of Dongfangshanhara faced the threat of undead creatures every day. However, although other territories also had troubles, they were all chicken hairs.
This is a small matter of garlic. In Dongfang Shanyuan's eyes, it is quite a bit like we work hard for world peace every day, but you are going to sell 18 cents or 15 cents or yelling and scolding for potatoes. The two sides are not on the same level and have no social connection, so naturally there is nothing to interact with. Even the civil strife caused by the reformists in the south before, Dongfang Shanyuan just acted casually and sent it a little. In other territories, Dongfang Shanyuan did not take the battle between the live-action royal party and the reformists in other territories, which shows that.
However, the emergence of Glenbel's army moved Dongfangshanhara. They did not mock this new territory like other territories. They didn't even have a large population, and they were all a barren land. Because this didn't matter to Dongfangshanhara. On the contrary, Rhodes was able to defeat the Immortal Legion several times in Glenbel, which really aroused Dongfangshanhara's interest. This is why Dongfangshanhara later asked Rhodes to buy the statue of the Saint Girl. They did not have the kind of "I have fought with the undead for hundreds of years, and their experience is better than you, a young boy.
If you are rich, you need to use external forces to kill the undead creatures, what is there to be proud of? On the contrary, how important is the ability of the Saint Girl statue to greatly reduce the threat of the undead creatures? As Dongfangshanhara, who has been fighting against the undead creatures for so many years, is actually the best understanding. So after the rumor of the wind came out, they quickly asked to buy the Saint Girl statue to the Land of Atonement. Originally, Rhodes planned to suppress the order to Dongfangshanhara, but because of the matter of South, he simply handed the Saint Girl statue to Dongfangshanhara in advance.
After obtaining the Saint Girl statue, the pressure on the front line of Dongfangshanyuan suddenly became relaxed, which is why the elders had the leisure to organize people to turn around and deal with the problem of Luoying Mountain. Due to the huge role played by the Saint Girl statue on the front line, Rhode's reputation is naturally widely circulated. Not to mention that there have always been rumors in the outside world that Rhode was born in Dongfangshanyuan. This problem has caused a stir inside Dongfangshanyuan, and many people are surprised that this young man was a person who was born in Dongfangshanyuan.
Where did the lord come out? How could it be that they had never heard of Rhode's name before? So many people in Dongfangshanyuan were quite interested in Rhode, especially the things he did were very eye-catching. Whether it was the Midsummer Festival or the Parliament of Light in the Dragon Soul Book, Rhode's domineering side was shown. This also made Dongfangshanyuan very appreciative. If Rhode really walked out of Dongfangshanyuan, then he would have given him a face!
Due to these reasons, Rhodes is actually very famous in Dongfangshanyuan, but because the internal information of Dongfangshanyuan is relatively closed, Rhodes also has a bit of "staying away from him" about this place, so he has no idea what everyone here thinks of him.
So when he saw Bai Ye's shocked expression when he heard his name, Rhode did not take it to heart. Instead, Bai Ye seemed very embarrassed. He knew Rhode's name, but he was a little confused about what the lord wanted to do when he came to Dongfangshan quietly at this time?
"May I ask, Lord Rhode, is there anything you have to come to Dongfangshanhara this time?"
"That's right."
Hearing Bai Ye’s inquiry, Rod nodded slightly. He looked at Christie beside him, reached out to gently stroke her hair, and then said.
"The main reason I came here is to treat my...well... sister, Christie's body. I think you can see that her body is not very good. I know that Dongfangshan originally has many herbs and soul skills that are different from the outside world, which can be used to strengthen the body, so I came to try my luck. And South happened to have something to do. Since he is my subordinate, I naturally have to help him with a little favor."
Rhodes's words were half true and half false. Most of what he said was true, but Rhodes still kept a secret in his words. He did not explicitly say that he was born in Dongfangshanyuan, nor did he say that he was not. In this way, even if there is any problem, Rhodes can solve it. He had to be a little confused to leave room and a way out.
"I see……………"
Hearing Rhode's answer, Bai Ye nodded and looked at Christie beside him. The young man couldn't help but believe it a little. After all, Christie could see from the surface that her body was not very good. And Dongfangshanyuan does have many medicinal materials and unique spiritual techniques that can be used to strengthen the body. So Rhode's statement is just right, but of course he would not believe so easily that Rhode ran to Dongfangshan for this purpose... Especially when he actually wanted to participate in the Luoying Mountain operation, this was a big trouble.
In the end, Bai Ye and Rhodes just made a few polite words and turned around and left. After all, this fact was too important. As the lord of Glenbel, it was indeed difficult for Rhodes to touch Dongfangshanhara so quietly. Moreover, with the deputy commander of the war corps, South, they were involved in it, and they were going to Luoying Mountain Peak again...
After a full meal, everyone went to their rooms to rest, which was why Rhode had four rooms before. Lige and Christie lived together, and with Lige's careful care, Rhode was not worried about what would happen to Christie. And Anne was going to live with Lige. Although she herself expressed strong protests about this, Rhode obviously did not intend to listen to Anne's arrangements--he knew that Anne was obviously planning to sleep with him without using her brain.
Logically speaking, Rhodes should have the same room as South, but Rhodes obviously did not intend to stay in the same room as another man, and he was not without money - so Souths enjoyed the treatment of a single room.
Everyone slept very peacefully that night, without any abnormalities, and the undead creatures did not come to disturb them, nor did they cause any trouble. They spent a quiet night in this quiet and peaceful town. However, not everyone was so leisurely.
Souther lay on the bed, gritted his teeth, and looked at the ceiling in front of him with thoughts. At this moment, his mind was already in a mess. Before returning to Dongfangshanyuan, Souther did not think much about the current situation of Luoying Mountain. Originally, he thought that Dongfangshanyuan is in chaos and the big figures on the front line should not have time to care about Luoying Mountain. In fact, Souther was not wrong with thinking this way, because before that, when the war corps were attacked by undead creatures, they had also asked for help from the front line. However, at that time, the front line of Dongfangshanyuan was really cloneless, and in the end, the war corps had no choice but to retreat. Unexpectedly, when he found a new life in the land of atonement, Dongfangshanyuan actually had time to free up his hands to deal with the problem of Luoying Mountain.
Of course, Souths could not have imagined that the reason why Dongfangshanyuan had the leisure to deal with Luoying Mountain at this time was because Rhodes gave their Saint Girl statue to help Dongfangshanyuan relieve the pressure on the front line, so they had this leisure time. And the reason why Rhodes gave Dongfangshanyuan the Saint Girl statue in advance was because Souths and the others retreated to the land of atonement... so they lived and died. Even if they did it again, there would definitely be no possibility for the war corps.
But this is not the problem that Souths is struggling with. On the contrary, after hearing Bai Ye’s story, an idea involuntarily emerged from the deepest part of Souths’ heart. Since the forces that repel the undead creatures can gain the dominance of Luoying Mountain, why can’t our war corps regain it? That’s our territory… but I just expressed my sincerity to the lord. If I do this… But…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Thinking of this, Souther couldn't sleep anymore.
One night passed.
When everyone gathered in the hall again, most of them were refreshed. Although the buildings here were a little strange, it was very comfortable for Lijie and others. Even Christie's complexion improved a lot after a night of rest. On the contrary, Souther looked very tired. Looking at the two obvious dark circles on his face, it could be seen that Souther obviously did not have a good rest last night.
Rod looked at Souther, but didn't say much. After hearing from the young man named Bai Ye yesterday about the current situation of Dongfangshanyuan and Luoying Mountain, Rod knew that Souther would definitely be confused. However, he was not particularly worried about this. It was not that Rhode trusted Souther, but that he had enough confidence.
To put it bluntly, now that Sans and the War Corps want to come back, Dongfang Shanhara will not welcome them back.
Sure enough, just as everyone was having breakfast, the young man named Bai Ye appeared in the hotel last night again. However, unlike before, this time there were a few more people wearing luxurious clothes around him. This was not the problem, but the problem was…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Miss Jialing..."
Rod looked at the girl standing in front of him and stared at him coldly, and couldn't help feeling a thrilling pain in his forehead. He never thought that he had just arrived at Dongfang Shanyuan and would encounter a big trouble that he could not avoid.
"How come you are here?"
"I was just back for vacation and accidentally heard that you were here, so I wanted to come and say hello to you, Mr. Rhode."
Jia Ling held the harp in her hand and quietly stared at the man in front of her. Her long eyelashes drooped, shaking constantly. Her black eyes were filled with calmness and a few unpredictable smiles.
"And I forgot to tell you that I am responsible for the mission of attacking Luoying Mountain." To be continued.)
