Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The brilliance of magic shined from the side of the hull, and the brilliance of flawless pure white quickly enveloped the entire ship from bottom to top. A layer of invisible protective cover also unfolded at this time. Soon, everyone felt that the cold wind that whizzed through the hollows of originally disappeared, and then this heavy and huge warship began to advance slowly.
Rhodes stood on the deck and looked up, he could feel the slight tremor of the deck under his feet, and even for a moment, Rhodes felt that he was already integrated with the ship, he could even feel the feet keenly The roaring tempest swept the battleship in front of him like a raging wave *. Many people had stopped talking at the moment, and they all raised their heads in unison. Looking at the scene in front of him, the ——— earth slowly "falls" down in front of their eyes. The originally sky that is far from them is approaching them at the moment. The dense clouds of heavy in the bow of sharp were divided into two like a soft bread like before, and then, for a moment, everything around everyone was enveloped by clouds. Looking around, I can only see the dense heavy clouds in all directions. The white clouds seem to cover everything.
In the next moment, the battleship broke out.
It ’s just a blink of an eye. The clouds of heavy disappear from both sides of the battleship like cotton flower/spend shattered by the wind. The bright sun and the blue sky are back in the eyes of everyone. The endless, vast and infinite blue formed this brand-new world. The huge Magical Battleship of heavy seems to be soaring in the sea of clouds at the moment, riding the wind and waves, and moving forward.
"Wuaa ..............."
Lì Jie and Annie have already been attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them. They stood by the railing and looked at the beautiful and dreamlike scene in front of their eyes. Although it is said that within the Moon Dukedom, due to the existence of airship, most of the people on this continent are not without the experience traveling on airship. But as if the battleships also have tonnage distinction, not every airship can fly to this height. Most civilian airship can only fly in the air, but because of the insufficient power of the magical, they can only be suspended at the height of tempest itself. Only these specially designed and manufactured Magical Battleship have this ability. Standing on the edge of the deck, watching the clouds below split under the battleship and separate towards the sides, this beautiful scenery is also enough to make people feel relaxed and happy.
However, Rhodes did not put his mind on enjoying the beauty in front of him. On the contrary, he raised his head with interest and looked at the sky in front of him. During the daytime, it looks no different from the sky on earth. Only at night, the halo and the full moon suspended in the night sky can see the difference. But Rhodes is curious, since Dragon Soul Continent's skill is enough to make Magical Battleship reach such a high level, then continue to develop, can they let Magical Battleship break through the atmosphere? At that time, what would this continent outside the atmosphere look like?
However, for Rhodes, this is just a boring guess in his spare time.
No matter what kind of beautiful scenery, after all, there is a day of annoyance. When Rhodes left the deck and entered the cabin, he soon saw Marlene, lìjie and other Noble children drinking tea and chatting there. They are sitting in a warm room, leaning against the long window on the floor, while enjoying the beautiful view outside, while sitting elegantly in a chair, holding up tea cups and talking and laughing. I do n’t know why. When I saw this scene in front of me, Rhodes remembered can't help but. I remembered a long time ago and I watched a movie called Mrs. ———. It ’s not right. The old movie called Titanic ... is really unlucky.
"Rhodes, I did n’t expect you to come here, how? Would you like to chat with us?"
Seeing the figure of Rhodes', Marlene immediately stood up smiling and greeted him. The Marlene's move suddenly attracted the attention of several other youngsters. They immediately raised their heads and looked at Rhodes. In the eyes of everyone, Rhodes shrugged helplessly and then walked towards the people.
"Of course no problem, Marlene, as long as you don't disturb you."
"There is nothing to disturb, Earl Rhodes."
Hearing Rhodes' talking, a young man who did n’t look like twenty-five or sixty years old smiled and stood up from his chair, showing a warm smile to Rhodes, and then took the initiative to reach out to the other party.
"Hello, Earl Rhodes, meet for the first time, this is Frank Fass."
"Hello, Mr. Fass."
Hearing the youngster self-reported house in front of him, Rhodes eyebrows can't help raising, he certainly knows who this person is in front of him, Fass Family is also one of the three major families of Moon Dukedom, and they are almost related to Shenia Family. If Shenia Family is mainly Moon Dukedom manufactures "hardware" like magical equipment, then quest of Fass Family is to cultivate "software" like Caster for Moon Dukedom. The Frank Fass is also one of the best, and it is also a famous character in the game. He is also one of the well-known talents in Moon Dukedom, because there is no direct comparison, Rhodes is not clear which one is stronger than Marlene in the game. But at least for now, Rhodes can be sure that Marlene is higher than him. Not to mention, the Caster technique created by player learned from Canary is enough for this guy to drink a pot.
And the most famous of Frank among player is not his strength, nor his wisdom, but his marriage. When he was twenty-five years old, he was already married to his own biological sister ———. His Elder Sister is only half a year older than him, while his Younger Sister is only sixteen years old. Both of them are beautiful like flower/spend. Although Fass Family has always had the tradition of same race intermarriage in order to keep the family bloodline pure, but this has caused a lot of envy and envy in player. At that time, many player lamented that it would be worth it if they could die in such a life ... This kind of **** life winner should be burned!
At the moment, the top two characters listed in the TOP that were tied to the torture rack and burned to death by the FFF regiment seem to be very excited at the moment. Obviously, this time he is also valued by lì Tia and joined this Of the delegation. In fact, Rhodes also found that everyone except himself is more or less excited about being able to participate in this delegation. The reason is probably because they are all Moon Dukedom people. Since childhood, they have been respected Dragon Soul of Light education. Now they have the opportunity to participate in Dragon Soul Holy Ceremony, and even saw Dragon Soul of Light with their own eyes, blessed by Dragon Soul. This is the supreme glory for these youngster. Even Annie, the girl in normally, who was carefree, seemed very excited, running and jumping. Only Rhodes himself can't lift it at all. He is like a non-group who is sulking and drinking while watching people dancing frantically while leaning against the corner of the carnival party. In addition, in the game, the player, which is still affected by Dragon Soul of Light, Rhodes is really difficult to see and expect the reception of the dragon of light as "simple" as others. Although he knows that in the current historical process, the incompetence of Dragon Soul of Light has not brought any harm to Moon Dukedom. The contradiction between Moon and Kingdom of Light's is still carried out in private, and it has not intensified to the surface. But Rhodes still look at them unhappy. Don't ask why, it's just unhappy anyway.
"You are so good, Count Rhodes, we were talking about you just now."
Although the performance of Rhodes' looks a little cold, but Frank does not seem to care, he smiles and started talking.
"Oh?"
After hearing the speech of Frank, Rhodes glanced at the people next to it curiously, and as expected, Rhodes saw a bit of curiosity and interesting look from all of them.
"Hope is not saying bad things about me."
"Of course not, Earl Rhodes, we are just very curious."
At this time, a young woman sitting next to Marlene stretched out her hand, lifted her gold wire glasses, and then started talking.
"We all heard that lì Tia Your Highness once invited the two Legendary Experts around you to come to join Dragon Soul Holy Ceremony, but they did not show up ......... This is really a matter of great curiosity and doubt for us."
After hearing the female bachelor, many people are nodded slightly. This invitation by Lídia is no secret, everyone knows the list of members of the delegation. The names of Little Bubble Gum and Canary naturally attracted the attention of many people. Let ’s not talk about their quirky and hard-to-notice names. Just the rumors about these two girls are enough to attract everyone. eyeball. They are only ten 4-5 six years old, but have the ability of peak Legendary. If the previous two teamed up with expel Demon Grand Duke, it seems difficult for many people to have credibility, then the battle of Little Bubble Gum abolishing Mist Sword Saint can be said to confirm their reputation. After all, no one saw Demon Grand Duke, but the appearance of Mist Sword Saint becoming a waste can be spread all over the country.
originally Many people are looking forward to meeting these two peak Legendary's Grandmaster Rank character when they participate in the delegation, and witnessing their heroism. However, they did not expect that Little Bubble Gum and Canary did not give Lì Tiya's face, they did not come simply!
Fortunately, Lì Tia gave Rhodes a good face. For those two people who did not come, she did not ask much. And Rhodes has no way to explain to Lì Tia what Phantom Guard exists. ——— is too unreliable. Just didn't expect that he didn't need to explain to Lí Tia, but now he had to face other people's inquiries.
Fortunately, Rhodes is not unprepared.
"Of course they are very happy to be invited by Your Highness, but now both of them have their own research to be completed and ca n’t take the time to participate. Not to mention ——— they are not very good about Kingdom of Light's senses, so to be honest they I actually do n’t like going to places like Kingdom of Light. "
"I remember, Miss Canary and Miss Bubble used to be your subordinates, Rhodes."
At this time, Marlene started talking who has been silent beside him.
"If you say this, have you ever been to Kingdom of Light before?"
"Yes, Marlene."
After hearing Marlene ’s inquiry, Rhodes can't help but glanced at her. Of course, he knew what Marlene meant to mention this topic. To gain the recognition of these young talents, strength itself is not the most important thing. Rich experience and knowledge are . The reason why Marlene does this is to give Rhodes a chance to show himself. As long as he can play well, then he can eliminate the hostility and disagreement of others. This is also a rule in the circle, and of course Rhodes will not let this good opportunity pass. He does n’t want for no reason to stand up for no reason. Although Rhodes has many enemies, at least he knows what his enemies are. Forget the unfathomable mystery shot on continent, let ’s forget it .........
"For a long period of time before, I went out with my companions and my subordinates to explore and feel the mysteries and mysteries on this continent. There is an old saying in my hometown, read ten thousand volumes Books are better than traveling thousands of miles. Many times, you will find it more useful than you read in the book. Of course, I have been to Kingdom of Light, which is really not a pleasant and friendly. Recall. I think you all know this very well. In Kingdom of Light, if others do n’t know that you are from Moon, then treat you as enthusiastically as ordinary person. But once they know that you are from Moon, they will immediately change to another one. Mouth and face. It was as if they were a group of thugs, villains and hooligans in front of them ............... "
Say here, Rhodes can't help shrugging the shoulders, and deep in the heart sighed.
Is Tia a good Monarch? of course. What about her reign? Of course, it is still brilliant, but it is absolutely impossible for lì Tia and even Moon Dukedom to rule rank to be perfect and perfect. In fact, in Rhodes's opinion, lì Tiya's rule rank has a fault and is terrible.
That's how proud they are.
Why can Kingdom of Light have a high reputation and support among the people? One of the reasons is that their politicians will always choose to go deeper among the people. They will use speeches and propaganda in the 〖Guang〗 field to let the people hear their thoughts and voices at close range. ——— No matter how big the lies are, Proportionately, people still let go of their bodies to enjoy with the people, which makes the people feel that they are valued and respected. Naturally, Parliament is full of goodwill. But the other way around, perhaps because of the gap between races, Battle Angel such as Lì Tia never did this, they never thought about explaining to the people, nor did they say they would go among the people to agitate or incite them to listen to themselves if. They are only responsible for giving orders, and then the following people follow and just follow. This is true of Battle Angel, and so is Noble. Just like Marlene, although she can usually communicate with Yan Yuese and civilians, and listen to their ideas and opinions. But she does not think how important these people see it. From the perspective of Marlene, the opinions of these people can only be used as a reference, and as Noble, it is impossible to modify her own ideas to cater to the ideas of ordinary people. And idea ——— That is an insult to Noble.
The lack of a right to speak is a weakness and shortcoming of Moon Dukedom. The reason why Southern Reformist can be supported by the public is the uprising. A large part of the reason is that they learned the Kingdom of Light's method. Although the Southern Noble and the merchants did not come forward, they But through their own subordinate/hand controlled Mercenary Group and Mercenary Guild, the subtle dissemination is conducive to their rumors, while degrading and discrediting Moon Royal Family. An ordinary tax collection can be described by them as Lì Tia trying to squeeze people ’s assets by buying new furniture and satin. A mountain bandit attack on the regular army can be described by them as the spontaneous resistance of the people under the unbearable violence *. Anyway, Royal Family will not put down their body to refute rumors, they will say whatever they like. Not to mention that people in the South generally stay away from wars and threats. People who have been in a peaceful society for a long time naturally listen to what they believe. As the saying goes, lies are spoken thousands of times to become truth, Reformist spares no effort to discredit Moon Royal Family in the South, and Royal Family does not come out to do something to look squarely, and the result is naturally turbulent and turbulent. In the face of these rumors, Moon Royal Family seems to adopt a passive coping style of "clearing oneself, clearing oneself", they think they haven't done such a thing, they have a clear conscience. And since there is no doubt, there is no need to explain to others like a criminal suspect.
The reason why the North did not listen to these rumors is that, in large part, they are directly threatened, unlike the stable South, and the battle of flower/spend is a shame and pain for the entire North. Under such circumstances, the North will naturally move closer to Royal Family, and at the same time resist the South in the spirit of "whatever the enemy opposes, we must oppose everything the enemy supports." So in this respect, the reason why the North is not affected by the rumors of the South is largely to protect its own interests and the charm of Lí Tia ’s personality, and Royal Family ’s own public relations has nothing to do with it. The entire rule of rank, except for making announcements during important events or giving out some exciting speeches at celebrations and ceremonies, is basically very cold to the people. Because Noble's pride and pride make them feel that they are the first-class pride, if the civilians say anything, we have to respond, then it is too embarrassing.
The cleverness of Parliament of light is to catch this **** and black, and to shape the arrogant and rude Moon Royal Family image among the people, like a pig dog. The Moon Royal Family itself despised the Parliament of light, and did not think about the past refutation and refutation, so it became deeper and deeper in this. In a way, Moon Dukedom was hit by this disaster, and it has nothing to do with themselves.
But Rhodes knows that this is a profound social and cultural issue. Even if it is on the earth, there has been no way to resolve disputes between rank in the past millennia until now. No matter in which country, the privilege rank always overrides the civilians. The difference is that some of them know how to manipulate and use Public opinion has won a good mask and image for himself. But even so, it is just a superficial, false prosperity. In fact, the status of a beggar wandering the streets can never be compared with the brightly dressed financial tycoons on Wall Street. The latter can manipulate media such as radio and television news to control everything, while the former is not only protesting but also protesting, but in the end it is still protesting, but even if they protest to death, they will not solve any problems. The only meaning of their existence is ——— they protested.
That's still on the earth where human physical strength is relatively equal, and in this different world where race, physical fitness and even strength are seriously unequal, you want to persuade Noble privilege rank to respect the opinions of civilians ——— anyway Rhodes feel It was tiring, he didn't have that ability, he was not Martin Luther King, nor Abraham Lincoln. What's more, even if they prove that the mouth gun is not a panacea, even without magic and soul power, a bullet can still shut them down at the fastest speed in the shortest time.
But these can only be considered by Rhodes in private, he did not even mention Marlene, because this is pure blind lighting. At the moment, he is even less likely to presume this extremely profound and complicated social problem in front of others. So soon, Rhodes changed the subject and began to talk about his "adventure history" on continent. Can't hold Rhodes. With his rich adventure experience and experience in the game, just taking out a little thing is enough to make these young masters eldest young miss eye-opening.
And this is indeed the case.
Although these youngsters, there are many people who have traveled abroad. But when it comes to experience traveling abroad, they certainly can't compare to almost every corner of continent and even Rhodes that has left its own footprint in Hell and Infinite Abyss. In addition, although Rhodes looks very cold on the surface, when he opened chatterbox, all the people were surprised to find that this youngster was not at all silent, he was not only familiar with the customs and humanities of various places, but even some mysterious and unpredictable. Historical rumors are also involved. Moreover, Rhodes''s eloquence is not bad. For a time, everyone listened intoxicated, even a lot of information and data that they only heard occasionally, Rhodes can quickly restore a detailed scene to them. What's even more incredible is that Rhodes' tells nothing about the exaggerated and indiscriminate elements, as if everything he said must be true.
When Rhodes finally stopped and came to an end, everyone found out that it was already dusk, the sun was falling under the clouds, and the sea of clouds outside the porthole was painted with a golden glow.
"It ’s unimaginable, Earl Rhodes."
A young girl, both hands, put her chest together and looked at the dark-haired man with wide eyes.
"I have never imagined that a person can have such a rich adventure and experience. I even want to return to to report family and ask them to allow me to travel for a while. After listening to your story, I found out It turns out that the knowledge gained from books alone is so poor, maybe ... we should not only use our minds to think about problems, but personal experience is also very important. "
"It is true."
After hearing the girl ’s words, the man next to him also felt the same nodded. In this conversation, he once asked Rhodes many questions in many books, but these problems were easily resolved by Rhodes. Not only that, he also corrected the gap between many books and reality for men. With errors.
"Now, I think I can understand why you can achieve such achievements in such a short time."
At this time, Frank Fass also showed a thoughtful expression. He gazed quietly at Rhodes, his eyes even showing a little admiration.
"Frankly speaking, Earl esteemed Rhodes, I still thought that your success was largely a matter of luck. But now it seems that your rich experience is the basis of all this. After listening to your story, I I ’m not surprised at all by your current achievements. I look forward to ... we have the opportunity to continue to consult you. "
"Of course no problem."
Facing the words of Frank, Rhodes nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand and held each other.
He can feel that at this time, the eyes of originally who remained hostile and suspicious of themselves have now turned into admiration and surprise, and even a little respect.
It looks good.
Rhodes looks at Marlene around him. Feeling Rhodes''s gaze, Marlene also turned his head and looked at Rhodes with a smile. In her eyes, she flashed a bit of pride. (To be continued)
