Kingdom of Light will catch Highland City, but Rhodes has already guessed it. Perhaps for them before, Highland City is just a barren city in the border area, but now, if they will give up here, it is really stupid to be hopeless. However, compared with Silver Sail Port, the biggest problem of Highland City is that it has land borders with Kingdom of Light's territory, and the reason why Silver Sail Port will so quickly promise to surrender to Rhodes, one of the big reasons is that they do not border Kingdom of Light. The Strait of Yongwang is still separated from each other, but conversely, after the Order of Land of Chaos is stabilized, the Silver Sail Port has territorial borders with Territory of the Void. Under such status, choosing who is the backer is definitely not a worthy of consideration for Silver Sail Port. problem. They will not take the risk of being attacked by Rhodes to choose to rely on Kingdom of Light on the other side of the strait, not to mention that although the Kingdom of Light's navy is strong, it is not as good as this, plus Silver Sail Port has not received less Kingdom of Light's oppression and exploitation , Naturally willing to find a new backing, especially after Rhodes is willing to give them a certain degree of autonomy, Silver Sail Port decisively left Kingdom of Light behind his head, and then came to the thigh.
But compared to Silver Sail Port, Highland City ’s environment is more responsible. Although it is the same as Silver Sail Port, it is subjected to the oppression and exploitation of Kingdom of Light's, but absolute fear also produces absolute obedience, plus they do not have such a superior geographical location as Silver Sail Port Not afraid of Kingdom of Light's trouble finding them, so Highland City is obviously more difficult to handle in this respect.
But for Rhodes, Highland City must be won, otherwise, it is almost equivalent to let Kingdom of Light choke one of his throat main points, and as Marlene said, he can never let any one in his own The areas within the Dragon Soul Asylum range choose independence, otherwise, their own ruling power will be severely provoked and shaken. This is something that Rhodes cannot tolerate at present. In the face of future wars, what he needs first is absolute internal stability. If the internal turbulence is still unrest during this period of development, it will not only extend his time to strengthen his strength, but also say Uncertainty will lose the most precious opportunity. But if Kingdom of Light is allowed to control Highland City, then they have an entrance to and from Territory of the Void. Rhodes can be sure that those guys will definitely use this to get the total chaos ——— inside their territory. This is what Rhodes is absolutely unwilling to see.
So he will come to Highland City again as "Miranda Salem" in order to see for himself how Kingdom of Light has penetrated here.
However, when Rhodes came here, it was discovered that except for originally holding Five Major Financial Groups of Highland City, some of the small and medium chambers of business in Kingdom of Light came here. It seems that Five Major Financial Groups is not a fool. They also know that the current situation of Highland City Not good, so simply let these pawns give them a front stop. If there is a risk, they will naturally be borne by the small and medium-sized chamber of commerce. If there is a benefit, they will naturally eat the big ones. With the power behind Five Major Financial Groups in Parliament of Light, it is not difficult to achieve this.
And what makes Rhodes more interesting is that the consortium that currently controls Highland City still has a little relationship with itself. ——— Highland City produces the most kinds of mineral deposits, so the Elanik family that controls most of the mineral resources in Kingdom of Light Naturally, I will not let it go. Today, it has almost completely become the private territory of the Elanik family. In the entire Highland City, the private soldiers of the Elanik family occupy 7 or 8 out of 10. They almost manage all aspects of the Highland City people. For Elanik For the family, grasping a place like Highland City is not a big deal, but in turn, it is also a hindrance to the Rhodes' plan. Once he wants to take action, it means that he must compete positively with Five Major Financial Groups. ——— comes from this point Look, Parliament is not stupid. I know that I am not strong enough at the moment. I simply push all the things to Five Major Financial Groups. The merchants are unprofitable animals. They naturally understand that if they can handle Highland City, then those in the surrounding area The rich treasures are all their possessions ......... Because of this, Five Major Financial Groups is very active in this matter . To some extent, they are more difficult to deal with than Parliament.
After all, I have never seen a shady screen worse than the puppet BOSS, right?
Rhodes is very clear that on the surface, the high-end force of the Parliament itself is not much, some of them have basically been stricken by themselves, one was beaten back to the original form by him, and the other was directly beaten to the body to become an idiot. But this is just the strength of the light Parliament. But in fact, the strength owned by Five Major Financial Groups is much stronger than this. According to the survey of players, the inside of the five major families are more or less related to Dark Brotherhood and Hell's Devil. Among them, there is a Hell Lord level hidden in core of Dodd Family. . Sonya also once told Rhodes that in her Locktos Family, there are also two Dark Brotherhood's senior rank character who are accompanied by the head of the house, their strength has reached the level of Legendary middle rank, fundamentally can't be looked down on. And Piert Family, who holds Caster, even married Succubus and Fallen Angel in private to get the mastery of magic with good non-human ethnicity. As for the children born, they naturally become the elite of Piert Family. There are even rumors that Piert Family even has an unclear relationship with Succubus Queen. In addition, as the Business Leader, the Manny family has an affair with the Chaos congregation, and even the successive patriarchs of the Manny Family are all Leader of "Light of Chaos" Knight Regiment in the Chaos congregation.
And the Elanik family is naturally no exception. Among the strength they master, even Mindflayer from foreign plane ...............
I have to admit, Five Major Financial Groups Deeply buried in his true strength, a lot of things player I just heard the rumors, but never witnessed it myself. until Rhodes Led the starlight Casablanca Move to flat ground, front and Five Major Financial Groups After handing it in, I found out that their strength was not due to the collapse. Kingdom of Light The military can be compared. we can even say, Five Major Financial Groups Simply Kingdom of Light The five internal states, whether military or political, are almost independent of the light Parliament In addition, it will not be affected in any way, but it can be reversed to the light. Parliament Influence.
But ironically, I am afraid that even the dragon of light cannot imagine that under his Dragon Soul Asylum, there is still such darkness and evil.
Rhodes is not surprised about this, because in Continent of Light, many cultists and dark forces are lurking in Kingdom of Light, because most of Battle Angel are in Moon, once discovered by those Angel, then these forces are rooted out In fact, in Kingdom of Light, because of human distrust of Battle Angel, Angel is difficult to move here, and in turn, Devil Demon cultists are popular. Kingdom of Light's rejection of aliens for so many years, in addition to the ulterior motives of the Parliament itself, these guys have also contributed a lot to the back.
It ’s just that ... Rhodes did not expect that they would meet these guys so quickly.
"Hello, Miss Miranda, welcome you to Highland City, I really did not expect that Salem Chamber of Commerce will also be interested in here?"
Sitting in front of Rhodes, a young man in a luxurious costume stared at Rhodes with a smile, and poured a cup of tea for him attentively. He is the head of the Elanik family in Highland City, Shanlede Grant Elanik. But relative to this identity, Rhodes is more familiar with his other identity ——— Saint Snake Association Vice Guild Leader, Devouring Snake Grant.
The Elanik family has done a good job of buying and selling, and engaging in cults while engaging in minerals is really not a delay. Saint Snake Association is Continent of Light's leading human trafficker group. They are best at capturing non-human or some poor border people in the border area, and then selling them as slaves. But now it seems that the Elanik family can develop so many mines, I am afraid that the benefits obtained from the slaves are also quite a lot.
While writing on silently cursed/disagreed, Rhodes glanced at the black tea placed in front of him. With his keen sense of smell, he could smell the fragrance of this black tea mixed with a special spice that was enough to relax the mood. The spice itself is harmless, but if used in combination, it can be used in the hands of experts to psychologically suggest that the ——— group of guys are really dead.
"The recent business is not easy to do. We are planning to develop our own business. After all, there are so many messes in the country now, and many things are not as convenient as in the past, so I came here to see Can you help Salem Chamber of Commerce to find any new business opportunities. After all .................. "
Speaking of this, Rhodes glanced at the starry sky outside the window, and realized his eyes, Shanlede also laughed.
"Yes, Miss Miranda, the current Highland City is not as good as it used to be, but there are unlimited business opportunities here, and I have received internal information from the family. Soon, Parliament of Nikko will develop large-scale development here, if it can If you take advantage of this opportunity to develop, you will certainly be able to get a lot of money. Just do n’t know, Salem Chamber of Commerce is coming this time ... What is the plan to work on? "
"I haven't decided yet. After all, I came here just to conduct a survey. The current Highland City is no better than the past. Our small business is ultimately risky, isn't it?"
In the face of Shanlede ’s inquiry, Rhodes quietly took the topic away, not to mention that he is not a real businessman, even if he is a real businessman, he will never reveal his own in front of such a powerful competitor. The flop, and after hearing Rhodes''s answer, Shanlede didn't say much, just smiled diligently.
"Miss Miranda is really cautious. That ’s right. Although businessmen say that they are pursuing opportunities, it is also my way of winning. So, during this time, I will send someone to take Miss Miranda with to stroll everywhere in Highland City. Although it is located on the border, the law and order is still very good. There will be no problems under the management of our Elanik consortium. If you have any need, you can always ask me, as long as I can do it, I will do it It ’s true. I did n’t expect that your Chamber of Commerce would even have a beautiful lady like you, which really surprised me ... ""
"Then please, Mr. Shanlede."
After hearing Shanlede, Rhodes smiled and answered. Seeing the Rhodes' smile, the Shanlede in front of him suddenly froze for a long while, and then it reacted, and coughed awkwardly.
"That ... Ms. Miranda, you are a guest from afar, you must be a little tired just arrived at Highland City, would you like me to prepare a room for the two ..."
"Do n’t bother you, Mr. Shanlede, you have booked a room before you came here. Next, we plan to go around Highland City. When originally came here, I was worried that it might be a little dangerous. , But now it seems that here is indeed very safe, as Mr Shanlede said, so I can rest assured. "
Speaking of this, Rhodes glanced and stood beside him. At the moment, he was obediently bowing his head Angelene. At this moment, the identity of this Vampire Royal Family is Rhodes' exclusive maid. She is wearing a black and white maid attire, white stockings and black leather shoes, with a pure white maid headdress. At this moment, there is no trace of the majesty and pride of original on this Vampire Royal Family. Instead, it seems to be a loyal and sincere follower of maid who served on the side of Master. I have to say that these innate Vampire acting talent are full. At the moment, when I heard Rhodes' talking, Angelene also took a step forward. First, I obediently went to Shanlede nodded, then lowered my body, and said softly in the ear of Rhodes.
"eldest young miss ... It's almost time ..............."
"I know, Angelene."
After hearing Angelene's answer, Rhodes nodded, then he stood up and looked at the man in front of him with an apologetic smile.
"So, let's stop here today, Mr. Shanlede. It was a very pleasant conversation with you, and I hope we can have more in-depth communication in the future."
"Un, of course, I also feel very happy, Miss Miranda."
Although this is said on the mouth, looking at the cup of black tea that Rhodes has n’t even touched, Shanlede is obviously a bit unhappy and depressed, but this emotion just flashes in his eyes and disappears immediately, soon , A gentle smile reappeared on the rather handsome face of Shanlede.
"So, I hope you can have a pleasant evening, and please take me to your Chamber of Commerce to convey the respect of the Elanik family."
"I will, Mr. Shanlede."
After hearing the answer from Shanlede, Rhodes smiled slightly, and then he bent down, gracefully directed to the other party at gave a bow, then turned and left the room.
"............... Hum."
Until Rhodes left, looking at the closed door again, the expression on Shanlede's face suddenly changed, originally with a gentle smile, and a polite face now with a bit of unprecedented greed and ferocious.
"I did n’t expect that I could see such a good thing here, it would be a pity if I let it go ... But it seems that the woman is smart ... Forget it, I have a solution. "
While speaking to himself, Shanlede picked up the teacup that Rhodes just placed on the table, sticks out its tongue, and gently licks the part of the handle, as if tasting the other's white and delicate fingers. For Shanlede, this is really a unexpected joy, he did not expect that there will be a woman to come here to investigate, as for Salem Chamber of Commerce ... Hum, there are hundreds of large and small chambers of commerce in Kingdom of Light, but he never had I have heard of Salem Chamber of Commerce, but this is fine. The quality of the woman and the little maid beside her is very good. If you can get it ......... I will definitely make my boring time here become quite interesting.
Thinking of this, greedy and greasy smiles appeared on Shanlede's face, then he put down the tea cup, gently snapped a finger, and soon, two strange figures appeared quietly beside him.
"Go and stare at the woman for me and report her whereabouts to me."
After listening to Shanlede's order, the two figures shook, and then disappeared silently into the darkness.
"Master, why did n’t you let me control that human just now?"
Following Rhodes walking out of the gate of the manor, Angelene stared curiously at Rhodes in front of him, and whispered asked softly. To be honest, when I first saw the dress of Rhodes', the Vampire Royal Family stood on the spot and could n’t believe her eyes at all. This was not because she was shocked by the dress of Rhodes'. On the contrary, until this time, Angelene only found out ——— turns out this Your Majesty Dragon of the Void is actually not a woman .....................
Fortunately, the habit of Angelene ’s cautious words and deeds saved her life, otherwise if Rhodes knows her thoughts, I am afraid that this Vampire Royal Family will not survive to follow Rhodes .........
originally Little Bubble Gum and Canary are planning to follow. Although Highland City firmly opposes their ownership and Territory of the Void, the Rhodes' system obviously does not care about their statement and directly puts Highland City within the Rhodes' power range, so that Canary and Little Bubble Gum naturally Able to come here for a stroll. However, considering that these two people can be regarded as the top of the blacklist like Kingdom of Light, Rhodes finally rejected their request. After all, I can hide most people by only a little change, but I can pretend to be a woman, but it is impossible for Little Bubble Gum and Canary to be a woman. Besides, with the temperament of Little Bubble Gum, she is here to do a good job. strength of Little Bubble Gum, it is not impossible to directly disassemble Highland City, Rhodes is not so stupid to take her to cause trouble ——— Un, at least not now.
"That guy is not ordinary human, I think you also feel that his breath is very strange, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, do n’t do it for the time being."
When originally Rhodes is planning to meet the actual person in charge here, let Angelene completely control him, and then he can analyze the situation of the entire Highland City leisurely, but Rhodes did not expect that Vice Guild Leader of Saint Snake Association was actually responsible for this That guy is not an ordinary character. Of course, with his current strength, it is not too much to be killed by Rhodes, but for Rhodes, he does not intend to take back Highland City in this way. This is too risky and not worth it.
"I have a better way."
Thinking of this, the corners of the Rhodes's mouth are slightly raised, and a little smile appears. RS
