Rody's face tightened and he immediately looked around. After making sure there was no one around, he smiled bitterly and said, "When did you run here? Have you been eavesdropping just now?"
She didn't want Nidis but she didn't mean to deny it at all, "Yes. I would like to hear what kind of advice you have for the Roland people."
Rody thought for a while and said calmly: "I didn't mean to harm them completely with my words. You have been eavesdropping for a long time just now. Don't you think what I said is unreasonable?"
Nidis pursed her lips and smiled, walked over gently and skillfully, took Roddy's arm without any trace, but pinched him hard on the arm first.
Roddy just raised his eyebrows. His body was so strong. Nidis's gentle pinch was just an itch for him. I just felt a little uncomfortable with this charming and gorgeous woman being so close to me, so I immediately took out my arm and took a step back.
"Hmph!" Nidis said angrily, "So I thought you were very honest. Even I wouldn't dare to give such a damaging idea to the Roland people... It seems that you really can't be underestimated."
Rody narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Seeing that Rody was two steps away from her, Nidis raised a few fingers angrily and said while twirling: "Okay, if you don't say anything else, let's just talk about the first point. You ask the Roland people to immediately The kingdom's taxes have been reduced... Humph, it is easy to lower taxes, but it will not be so easy to increase them in the future! You are not unaware of the greed and selfishness of people now fighting for the hearts of the people. , just lower the tax and raise it in the future, do you think the people of Roland Continent are all fools?”
Rody shrugged his shoulders, "What the hell! When a disaster strikes, some necessary measures are still useful."
Nidis said coldly: "And you actually advised the Roland people to confiscate the homes of those wealthy families to make money when the finances could not support it... Don't tell me that you don't know the meaning of this! After confiscating the homes of those wealthy nobles, Although you can make money, you must know that the rule of those kingdoms is based on the support of a noble class that is higher than the ordinary people. If you confiscate the entire noble class, will those nobles continue to support the king? If Roland? If people listen to your nonsense, they are digging their own graves!"
Rody smiled and said, "I'm just saying that. King Sauron must not be a fool, and he will not be so stupid as to confiscate all the nobles' homes."
In the end, Nidis was even more dissatisfied: "You actually let them exploit the Dwarf Kingdom... Don't you know that the Dwarf Kingdom is now my territory, Nidis? You have squeezed the Dwarf Kingdom to the point where it has no oil and water, so what else do you have for me?" Is there any profit to be made?”
In response to this accusation, Roddy had nothing to say and simply kept his mouth shut.
Nidis, however, refused to give up and continued: "What impressed me most is that you actually blatantly advised the Roland people to prolong the war as long as possible! You should know that the longer the war lasts, the more damage will be done to the Roland continent. The more serious it is! A one-year war usually requires two or three years of construction to recover. If the Roland people really listen to you and fight a long-term all-out war with the temple, then the Roland continent may not be able to survive for more than a hundred years. Get back on your feet!”
Rody had already narrowed his eyes. He admired Nidis very much, so he said in a deep voice: "Since you understand it, why are you asking me?"
Nidis stared at Roddy for a while, her face seemed a little disappointed, but she still sighed: "What I admire most about you is that since I can think of these things, King Sauron must also be able to think of them... You also understand it very well in your heart. Right. But you still passed the message through that General Roland... Humph, now the Roland people are riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. Although your idea is very bad, but under the forced situation, if the Roland people don't have a better way, I can only do what you said... This approach is almost equivalent to..." At this point, Nidis seemed a little speechless. After thinking about it, she smiled bitterly and said: "You are like digging a hole for the Roland people. Watch. The other party jumped in."
Rody also laughed, and continued what Nidis said: "Moreover, even if the Roland people know clearly that there is a pit in front of them, they have to jump!"
Nidis's eyes suddenly showed some sparkle, she took a few steps closer to Rody, her nose almost touched Rody's chin, and said in a deep voice: "Rody, tell me, what are you?" people!"
Rody's heart tightened and he took a step back.
"In the dwarf country, you actually possess such great strength, and you have actually reached the level of a legendary domain expert. I was already very suspicious of you at that time. It's a pity that there is an old Sith magician beside us. , there are many things I don’t feel comfortable asking you directly... Moreover, the old magician said at that time that you had the aura of a magic dragon... The fat man you summoned was actually a strong man in the field... In my eyes, you are becoming more and more powerful. It's getting more and more difficult for me to understand..." Nidis said slowly in a deep voice: "And the person around you, the Black Veil Saint, I heard that you betrayed the temple after you came to Roland Continent, and seeing that you two... She must have rebelled because of you! But this must be your first time in Roland! You and the woman from the Black Veil Saint are on two separate continents. How did you meet?"
Nidis asked the questions one by one, but she didn't seem to want Roddy to answer them. It seemed that she was just speaking out to clarify her thoughts.
"When you were in the Empire of Light, you were already Miss Nicole's lover. I heard that you were originally an officer of Thunder God's Whip, so it's not difficult to explain this... But now in Roland Continent, the fake one next to you Miss Nicole, how can I explain that a man who looks so much like a member of the Tulip family must be related by blood... Humph... "
The more Nidis spoke, the more intense the glint in her eyes became, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Together these things together, there is only one explanation I can think of!" She stared at Roddy and spoke slowly word by word. Said: "You are the Tulip Duke!!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, her face showed some confusion, "But, how do you explain the love between you and the real Miss Nicole? Could it be that you... between your siblings... "
Seeing Nidis looking at him with a somewhat surprised expression and a somewhat evil smile, Roddy panicked and quickly went up to cover her mouth and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! Such things are allowed to be talked about" ”
Nidis said coldly: "No matter what, you must give me an explanation today! Humph! We have been back for so many days, and you always avoid me and don't let me have the chance to ask you. Now we are leaving Yes, you can always say it, right?"
Rody looked at Nidis in front of him with a wry smile. Before he could speak, Nidis's eyes suddenly lit up, "By the way, your current face is fake, right? I heard that Duke Tulip has blond hair and blue eyes. Yes! Well, you must be wearing some magic mask..."
Speaking of this, Nidis even stretched out her hands as if to tear Roddy's cheeks apart. Roddy finally became impatient and shouted in a deep voice: "Have you had enough trouble?"
He grabbed Nidis's hand, looked a little cold, and said displeasedly: "These things are all random thoughts in your head!"
"So... you're really not the Tulip Duke?" Nidis narrowed her eyes.
Rody panicked, but then calmly said: "I'm really not! It's not the case now, and it won't be the case in the future! Are you satisfied?"
To be honest, Rody was a little wary of this vampire beauty at the moment. Although Nidis' analysis was not completely correct, it was not too far from the truth. This kind of thing is too important to let others know.
However, Rody has already developed this skill of telling lies to one's face over a long period of time. At this moment, his face was calm, with a hint of impatience, and he looked completely innocent.
Nidis glanced at Rody coldly, and suddenly said: "You can continue to pretend. Anyway, I will follow you from now on to see how long you can pretend!"
After saying that, with a gust of fragrance, the woman ran away so lightly.
When Rody heard the words "I will always follow you from now on", his scalp felt numb. He just stood by the pool, lost in thought.
The old right minister sat there silently. Tonight's farewell banquet, as a political heavyweight in Sauron Kingdom, he did not attend. The king did not seem to have the intention to invite him, but he was silently looking at the secret report on the table in front of him. .
This report simply and clearly states the return journey arrangements of Count Rody, the special envoy of the Light Empire, which day he will arrive at which city, and which day he will arrive at the port. It is clear and clear.
This report was delivered to the old right prime minister's desk ten minutes ago. It was a "secret report" sent by his insider in the Royal Knights.
"Secret report!?" The old right-hand man's facial muscles shrank together like dried orange peels, "It's really a secret report! Ridiculous 'secret report'!"
He stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, then took a deep breath and murmured: "It seems that King Sauron is indeed a bit capable. Not only does he know that I have a relationship with the temple, but he even knows that I am here." The insiders in the Royal Knights have all been figured out, otherwise, this report would not have been 'leaked' to me so quickly... Huh..."
The right minister, who was so old that he could hardly walk, stared at the report on the table, suddenly showed a somewhat cunning look, and then slowly stretched out a hand...
Without any warning, the parchment report placed on the table immediately burned automatically and was reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds!
This frail old man who has been in power in the Kingdom of Sauron for decades actually has the ability to be a magician!
"Well, we can't wait any longer..." The old right minister closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Just an hour ago, I had just agreed on the conditions and action plan with Princess Ruolan in this room. I didn't expect the king to take action so quickly... But fortunately, everything went as expected!
Having made a decision in his heart, the old man suddenly stood up straight. His body that had always been slightly stooped actually straightened up. He quickly took out a small scimitar from the pendant on the wall, and then pulled it with one hand. Lived in a cupboard next to the wall.
The thing made of iron wood, which weighed almost two hundred kilograms, was moved away by this seemingly weak old man with one hand!
Behind the wall was a small iron door. The old man inserted his machete into a hole on the iron door and twisted it hard...
A bit of icy cold air immediately came out of the secret room inside... as if it was an ice cellar storing ice cubes.
The old right minister just walked down the steps behind the secret door. A small darkroom with a radius of no more than ten square meters appeared underground.
The darkroom is very simple inside, with a pool carved from stone in the middle. There were gurgling bubbles on the pool, as if it were a pool of boiling water. There are also faint white mist floating above.
But if you stretch out your hand and feel it on the water, you will immediately feel a coldness that can penetrate your bones! That wisp of white air is simply air-conditioning! Moreover, the edge of the stone pool is actually covered with a layer of sparkling ice crystals! !
The old right minister just stood on the edge of the pool and seemed to sigh, and then he started to take off his clothes!
From the luxurious robe on the outside to the pure silk underwear on the inside, in a moment, the old right minister took off his clothes like a person in a bathhouse. His skinny appearance looked a little scary, and the traces of time were fully reflected on his aging body. His skin was sagging, his muscles were weak, and his chest was so thin that only ribs were left.
The old right minister looked at himself in a mirror by the wall, and suddenly murmured: "Huh, every time I see him like this, it makes me feel very unhappy..."
He suddenly thought of the question asked by Princess Ruolan just now: "I'm a little curious now. Aren't you from the temple? Why don't you seem to be wholeheartedly safeguarding the interests of the temple!"
"Humph..." the old right minister said to himself: "From the temple side? What an interesting statement."
He just raised his feet and walked into the cold pool, feeling the biting cold water slowly submerging his body... But there was no trace of pain on the old right minister's old face. On the contrary, his facial expression It actually feels a bit comfortable...
Then something even weirder happened!
The body that was immersed in the weird biting cold water suddenly had a healthy luster on its aging skin. Then all the muscles under his skin seemed to have turned into liquid and were flowing faintly, as if the muscles were moving rapidly. The ground changes shape…
The originally pale and ashen old skin glowed with a youthful and healthy glow. Then his originally dry body gradually gained healthy muscles...
Finally, he simply plunged his head into the water, letting the water cover the top of his head.
After a while, he raised his head again and surfaced...
His gray hair had turned a healthy black. That old face, like dried orange peel, was full of white light.
He has a pair of strange pupils, as if one pupil is brown and the other is blue. His nose is very strong, and what is even more beautiful is his mouth, which is slightly pursed, as if With a bit of Ni's all-powerful momentum. But when this mouth smiles, it seems to have an indescribable friendly charm...
Finally, he had completely walked out of the pool and stood naked by the wall. His aging body had become healthy and young again, and then he stretched out a palm and waved...
A huge picture suddenly appeared on the originally black wall. The picture is extremely complicated, but you can see some very profound magic symbols.
This is a magic circle! It is a magic circle used for long-distance movement! !
Just hearing some magic spells whispered in his mouth, the magic array on the wall immediately showed lines like rippling water. Then, he took a step and half of his body was already inside the wall...
In another unknown room, suddenly a burst of light flashed through the room, and a strong magic wave rippled back and forth in the room. Then a naked man appeared in a magic circle on the ground in the center of the room. He seemed to squint his eyes and sighed softly.
Then his eyes swept across the room, with a somewhat satisfied smile on his face.
This room is completely sealed, with no windows, and the only stone door is tightly closed - no one dares to open that stone door unless summoned! !
The old right minister, who had completely renewed his appearance, walked to the wall, took off a set of clothes from the wall and put them on.
The outermost thing he wore was a set of white robes with a strange texture! Then, he took off a brand new silver mask from the wall and put it on his face - only his soft-lined mouth was exposed.
He gently knocked on a small, strange-looking pure gold clock on the table. After a moment, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside.
Two people wearing the clothes of senior practitioners of the temple stood at the door with their heads bowed respectfully, and said respectfully: "His Majesty the Pope, do you have any orders?"
The old right minister, Prometheus, Kara, said softly in his familiar, soft, rich voice: "Pass my order to invite the elders of the Presbyterian Council. I want to convene an emergency meeting of the elders. !”
