Looking at the bottle on the table, Rhodes did not even move. He just lifted his eyelids, glanced at the crystal potion bottle, and then asked.
"What is this?"
"This is bottle and Mr. Rhodes holding poison, I can assure you that this is the result of our Alchemist Association after an in-depth investigation."
"Oh."
After hearing old man ’s answer, Rhodes “oh”, as if a lottery player without a lottery ticket had listened to this month ’s lottery number, his face was indifferent and indifferent. Faced with the speech of Dasos, Rhodes just responded to this sentence, and then came to was silent again, as if waiting for old man to speak next. But for Dasos, at the moment, he is extremely embarrassed because ——— should be said, old man has almost said it, originally said so much in the imagination of Dasos, the opposite youngster should be expressed no matter how bad it is. Correct. But I didn't expect Rhodes to owe even a little response. In the face of his speech and evidence, this youngster was so calm and calm. This has to be beyond the expectations of Dasos. It seems that this youngster can have such a huge background and strength, it is definitely not just as simple as luck ... But Rhodes' is not expressing his attitude, but also makes Dasos more worried. He does not know if this is Because Rhodes thinks this has nothing to do with it, don't care? Or do you want to break away from the relationship and pretend not to care? But no matter which one, it is definitely not a good choice for the current Dasos. So old man had to cough awkwardly and continued talking hard.
"We found a Alchemist logo on this potion bottle, which is exactly the same as the logo on the alchemy potion bottle sold by your guild in Parfield a few days ago. There is no difference. It is because of this that we will come to your guild Investigation, I hope to get the cooperation of your guild. "
This time, after Dasos finished speaking, there was silence again in the parlor. Rhodes is still the posture of the old monk. If it is not because he is still slightly open eyes, people will even be mistaken whether he is right. Fell asleep. And Dasos is not upset because of the Rhodes' silence. His age is not in vain. No matter what Rhodes wants to do, he must have an attitude here. Although Alchemist Association is not as powerful as Mercenary Association and Church, it is not arbitrary.
Of course, how much guts behind this determination is another matter.
The time passed by one minute and one second, the atmosphere in the parlor was abnormal muffled, except for Dasos, and several other Alchemists could not sit still. However, the prestige of old man is indeed very high. Although several of them showed eagerness to try, they sat back obediently after being glared by Dasos.
In the setting sun, the bright red light sprinkled through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room and sprinkled into the room. I do n’t know how long it took, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and then moved his fingers slightly, as if he finally recovered from the false sleep and moved his body. But this time, his eyes were still not focused on the crystal potion On the bottle, it glanced at everyone lightly. This was lazy started talking.
"No wonder a group of idiots broke into our guild's alchemy workshop without permission to hand over the murderer. Is it because this is what happened?"
Hearing the words Rhodes, the complexion slightly changed of Dasos, and the calm eyes of originally suddenly made waves. He had long doubted whether Rhodes had any opinion on himself, otherwise, why would they be blocked by those mercenary when they asked to enter Fortress at the beginning, and then moved out a Legendary Domain Grand Mage to do the off-road, and now this guild Guild Leader They looked so disregarded, too lazy to care, it turned out to be the case!
Think of here. Dasos can't help but put down the teacup in his hand. Although his expression was still calm, but deep inside was can't help but's drumming. Originally, after this incident, there were both radical and conservative attitudes within Alchemist Association. Those activists believe that Starlight is just a small guild organized by vulgar mercenary. They do not need the consent of the other party to investigate. If these mercenary dare to refuse, then they will let those barbarian see the strength of Alchemist!
Most of these people are members of Association Federation. They are far away from Moon Dukedom. They do n’t know much about Starlight ’s strength. If they only look at paper materials, they will indeed mistake this Mercenary Guild as a bullshit luck on the Midsummer Festival. The small groups that have been established have nothing to watch out for. The conservatives headed by Dasos are mostly in Moon Country. Due to the advanced magical technology of Moon, the Alchemist here will more or less communicate with the Royal Family seniors. Of course they know that this Starlight Guild is not simple, and acting rashly will only cause trouble. And disaster. Of course, this is not just a problem between the two factions. Because Guild Leader is unconscious, it also involves the power struggle between Alchemist Association. However, these things naturally have nothing to do with Rhodes.
Dasos naturally heard that the General Assembly has formed an investigation team and will come to Starlight Guild to investigate. He also knows the virtue of those people who are always flying and arrogant, so he hurriedly formed an investigation team and rushed to Land of Redemption, hoping to be able to take a step before the arrival of the general meeting, in this way, according to his own expectations in Moon Dukedom Anyway, they can talk to each other.
And once you have intervened, it will naturally be difficult to continue. But I didn't expect that he was still a step behind ——. I really can't see the guys in normally who have been drowsy except for meetings this time, but this time they can make such a sharp decision. If Alchemist Association usually has half of the momentum now, it will not be even worse than Mercenary Association ... Thinking of this, Dasos brows can't help wrinkling, but he still coughed awkwardly, and then started talking.
"Mr. Rhodes, I think there is a little misunderstanding ... I do n’t think it is a misunderstanding, Master Dasos, I respect Alchemist, but this does not allow me to let them come on my territory. The idiots have already So I was kicked out, and I do n’t want to see them again ... "Rhodes coldly interrupted Dasos said, staring at he started talking." If they continue to make trouble on our Starlight Guild site, then I can hardly guarantee that they will be treated friendly. They. I hope you can understand this. "
Hearing the blatant threat of Rhodes, a face can't help but of Dasos was blue, but he had n’t waited for what he said. Rhodes made a gesture, and then continued.
"However, those idiot things are theirs and have nothing to do with us. Master Dasos, I respect you very much, so I will invite you to enter Fortress, now you can say ... how do you plan to investigate my guild . "
"This ..............."
Until this time, after listening to Rhodes', Dasos finally let go of it. Obviously, the youngster in front of him had already seen their problems, and the meaning of the word Rhodes, Dasos is not an idiot, he naturally It is clear that the other party is trying to provoke the separation, but the current Dasos does not care about these. At least, Rhodes has relaxed his tone in front of himself, agreeing to investigate them instead of driving them out. This is already a very good harvest
As for the guys from the general meeting, Un ... Dasos only hopes that they are smart enough to know not to provoke this dangerous youngster again, he is definitely not a soft-hearted person, you know, at the Shenxia Festival, Dasos is also sitting in the stands. I have personally seen how Rhodes makes Sky Sword and Wings of Freedom the two guild easily disabled.
He does n’t want Alchemist Association to follow in the other side.
"This ... if possible, I hope to be able to talk carefully with Alchemist, which makes potion for your guild."
After hearing the request of Dasos, Rhodes did not answer the first time, but silent for a moment. Then he tilted his head, and soon, through the connection between soul, Rhodes found Canary who was drinking tea in the workshop.
"Canary, bring Labise to the parlor. Just say that the person of Alchemist Association wants to see her, so that she should not be nervous, just go through the previous detailed explanation."
"Okay, Rhodes."
After hearing the answer of Canary, Rhodes turned his head and looked back at old man in front of him, and then slightly nodded.
"No problem, Master Dasos. But I have a request, and I hope to be present when you question her to avoid any unpleasant misunderstandings."
"This ......... Of course there is no problem."
In the face of the Rhodes' proposal, Dasos was still a little hesitant, but now the situation is not strong, and only nodded and agreed. However, although this old man appears to be very difficult, deep in his heart is still somewhat proud. Although Rhodes suggested that it is a disadvantage to stay, Dasos can also use this to test the attitude of Starlight Guild. If Rhodes responds to his subordinates, If you give pointers or pressure, then this matter has nothing to do with Starlight Guild. If Rhodes really only made this suggestion for the purpose of protecting his subordinates, then it is more likely that it is just a coincidence. ——— For Dasos, this is of course his happy to see.
However, even though Dasos was mentally prepared, when he saw Labise who came to the crowd through Teleportation Gate, he was still can't help being surprised. The girl in front of him was only 16-17 years old, and it seemed that simply had not grown up, just a child That's it ......... Can she really make that kind of alchemy potion?
"Luo, Master Rhodes ... Seeing these powerful Alchemist, Labise felt a strong pressure invisible, her can't help but's retreat took two steps, grabbed her cloak anxiously, turned her head helplessly Going, looking at Rhodes with a sad face. Before coming here, Labise didn't know what happened, poor Alchemy Elf even thought that Rhodes was planning to throw her to these terrible Alchemist, no longer care about her.
"I, I did n’t mean it ..."
"Okay, Labise, do n’t be so nervous."
In the face of the crying cry of the girl, Rhodes gestured blankly, blocking her next words.
"These Alchemist came to you to investigate the bottle of potion, you know, in guild, all alchemy potion are made by you, so you do n’t have to be so nervous. I called you, just Let you answer their inquiries, and did not intend to drive you out or punish you. Well, relax, with me, they dare not treat you like that. "
"Ah ........."
When I heard this, Labise let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time she turned to look at those Alchemists, can't help but turned red, and she was so stinky in front of outsiders. This made her natural. The introverted shy Labise is even more uneasy, but she also knows that this matter is important, so she forced herself to calm down and began to respond to these Alchemist questions.
There is nothing particularly worth mentioning about the process of substantive inquiry. Rhodes is on the side. These Alchemists are naturally impossible to be too presumptuous, and Labise is also very honest. Originally, she was only worried about giving to others in private potion will be punished when Rhodes knows it, so he will be so nervous and cautious when facing Rhodes'. But in the face of these Alchemist, Labise actually calmed down rare, and even had some resentment. ——— If it is not your Alchemist Association people came to me to do this thing. How can I be so worried.
The course of things is very simple, Labise does not mean to hide, because for her, this is just an ordinary job. On the contrary, those Alchemist were very surprised by this girl. After all, they also analyzed the bottle of poison afterwards. That is something that needs a superb Alchemy Skill to complete. Even Master Alchemist like Dasos, it is very difficult to complete this potion. But the girl at the moment will actually have such a strong alchemy technique strength, which really amazes Dasos. from the beginning saw Labise, and thought that Rhodes was intentionally Yang Fengyin violation. Just find someone to top up. Therefore, I also asked Labise a lot about alchemy technique problems. Unexpectedly, this seemingly promiseless, timid and introverted girl actually answered very smoothly. Even many senior Alchemist have to think for a long time before they can get the answer. The girl ’s mouth is even more open, as if one plus one equals two. simple. Moreover, from the mouth of Labise, Dasos also got the exact refining formula of that bottle of potion. This is naturally very helpful to them. This unexpected harvest let this old and respected Alchemist also feel relieved, although so far, there are still many doubts about the poisoning of Guild Leader. But at least from the Rhodes' attitude, this matter really has nothing to do with them.
Because Labise is very cooperative, and there are really not too many doubts, the question is over quickly. And until this time, confirming the strength of the girl, Dasos has a new idea.
"Miss Labise, I have one thing I hope I can get your help."
"This, this ..............."
Hearing Dasos ’s inquiry, Labise became nervous immediately. She was bitten by a snake and was afraid of a well rope for ten years. She was pitted by Alchemist Association before. Now when Labise heard that Alchemist Association Immediately looking for his own help, I immediately entered the nervous status, looking at the old man in front of me. The girl first took two steps of the subconscious retreat and glanced at Rhodes, and then watched the old man.
When seeing the action of Labise, Dasos was also crying and laughing, but old man was calm after all, looking at the vigilant expression of Labise, he just smiled bitterly, not much to say, but quickly opened his own request.
"Through your telling, we already know that you are innocent in this matter. Miss Labise, but I think you know very well that this kind of poison is very harmful to people and it is very difficult to remove. Anyway, since you can make this bottle of poison, can you please make its antidote? "
"This ... Labise was hesitant to hear Dasos ’s request, and Rhodes coughed lightly at this time. Although he did n’t say much, Dasos naturally understood the meaning of Rhodes'. Soon, old man ’s There was a smile on his face.
"Well, I know very well that it is very difficult to make antidote. If you need any materials, please tell me that as long as you can complete the bottle of antidote, our Alchemist Association will try our best to provide materials for assistance."
"So ..............."
The so-called the rivers and mountains may change nature is difficult to move. Upon hearing this sentence, Labise immediately eyes brightened, with open mouth, I will agree to come down. However, she just opened her head, but Rhodes coughed again, interrupting Labise's speech. Then, Rhodes stood up, walked to Labise's side, reached out to hold her shoulder, and then looked at Dasos in front of her.
"Master Dasos, I respect you very much, but I must dispute your statement."
"Please say Mr. Rhodes."
When I heard Rhodes' talking, Dasos can't help but's expression on his face converged and became serious again. He was very clear that the man in front of him was not easy to deal with at all.
"It ’s very simple, Mr. Dasos. I think you already know what happened. My men did not intend to murder Guild Leader of your guild. She just made this bottle of potion at the request of someone from your guild. As for this What I took after the bottle potion has nothing to do with our Starlight Guild, and I ca n’t blame it on the head of Labise. could it be, would you bother to kill someone with a sword and go to the person who forged the sword? "
"This ... when I heard Rhodes' talking, Dasos can't help but was stunned and did n’t know what to say at all. But Rhodes obviously did not give them a chance to justify, but waved their hands and continued to talk.
"So, I am very dissatisfied with the saying that you have to make up for the mistakes you made. Even if the bottle of potion was made by Labise, it is not her responsibility to do anything. Some of you took it to water the flowers, so there is nothing wrong with it? So, this is not my subordinate ’s responsibility. And if you expect her to make an antidote for this ............... "
Speaking of this, Rhodes's rare paused for a moment, he looked at Alchemist in front of him proudly, and then continued.
"Then, you must pay for it accordingly."
"Here, this ... When I heard this, a group of Alchemists were completely staring and utterly staring, completely speechless. Including Dasos, they did not expect this youngster to be so straightforward to say so. It seems to them that, in their opinion, it ’s already a moral sense of responsibility for them to come to Starlight Guild to investigate without looking for them. I did n’t expect this youngster to be hit a snake with a stick but it creeps right up along the stick. Instead of acknowledging my own responsibilities, I also requested Alchemist Association and bleeding!
This is simply not true!
Several Alchemists want to open their mouths to refute, but open their mouths, but do n’t know what to say. Although Rhodes is ridiculous, but they really have no way to refute him ... indeed, if things are really as Labise said, then even if Labise made this bottle of potion, the responsibility is not hers ——— is even more terrible, if They insist that Labise is responsible for this, so they also have to surround themselves as Alchemist? !
Looking at the Rhodes in front of him, Dasos laughed helplessly. Of course, he knew that this youngster was not easy to deal with. The so-called remuneration might make Association bigger than bleeding, but now, he only recognizes it.
"Okay, I agree with you, Mr. Rhodes, I think, we can talk about the details."
"thump thump thump !!!"
While Rhodes was planning to discuss further with Dasos on the current situation, suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door, and when I heard the knock on the door, eyebrow slightly raised of Rhodes can't help but followed by started talking.
"Come in."
As the Rhodes' spoke, the door opened, and then Joey ran into the meeting room breathlessly. He saw Alchemist such as Dasos at a glance, but this Thief was also very exciting. After seeing them, he did n’t have much. Say something, but quickly came to at Rhodes' side and lowered his voice to report to him.
"Boss, we tracked those Alchemist and found that they carried something troublesome." RS
