When Rhodes returned to the reception room again, Ann ’s expression was much better than before. Perhaps it was because of Marlene and lìjie's consolation. Now the originally's very heavy pain and despair on the girl's face has disappeared a lot. Seeing Rhodes walk in at this moment, An quickly stood up and looked at him with anxious and expectant eyes. It was as if an inmate standing on the dock, anxiously awaiting the judge's death sentence or acquittal sentence against her.
"I already know your situation."
Rhodes looked at the girl in front of her, started talking in without the slightest hesitation, and heard Rhodes' talking, Ann can't help shivering, she raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. But before waiting for Ann to take any further action, Rhodes has spoken very neatly what he wants to say.
"Miss Clark, you can stay in Land of Redemption. The Dark Power in your body is just a sequelae of the previous pagan rituals. Unfortunately, because this strength has already begun to be related to your soul fusion, so it cannot be eliminated, you can only Accept your destiny and live with this strength fusion. Do n’t worry about this, I will find someone to help you solve this problem. But beyond that, if you want to stay in Land of Redemption, then you must I work. What do you think of this condition? Miss Clark, my subordinate/hand, never raise idlers. "
The Rhodes sentence is not alarmist. In fact, there is really no idle person in his subordinate/hand. Although Annie ate and slept all day, the girl was very serious when she was fighting. Even the Chris pedicel with no fighting power will be responsible for some Construct Creation design drawings in the alchemy workshop of Labise. And Clark has to stay here, so naturally they have to find work.
"I will!"
After hearing Rhodes', Ann is almost without the slightest hesitation, and soon nodded, this is almost the last life-saving straw for girls. If Rhodes is not willing to lend a helping hand, then the girl really has only one way to go. Now, this Lord Sir is willing to take in himself, so no matter what he wants to do, he will definitely do it!
"Very good."
I heard Ann ’s answer, Rhodes nodded with satisfaction, and then he turned his head.
"Agawei, you go to arrange a room for this lady, Miss Clark. It is very late today, you go to rest first, what ’s the matter, and I will talk about it tomorrow."
"Okay ... thank you, Lord Sir."
After the big rock in my heart fell to the ground. Ann soon felt a deep sense of exhaustion in her heart, and along the way, the despair, restlessness and fear of death had been deeply entwined in the girl. She has not even had a good night's sleep these days. Since being forced to leave home again, every night has been a sleepless and painful night for Ann. At that time she even became a kind of extravagance even to survive, and now. The cloud that had been pressing on her heart finally dissipated, which finally made Ann feel relieved. She respectfully addressed Rhodes gave a bow and then left the reception room under the leadership of Agawei. Looking at the figure of the girl leaving, Rhodes just shrugged his shoulders. Then he turned to look at the other two beside him.
"Marlene, tomorrow, Miss Clark will follow you temporarily, you can let her help you fight, I think she can do this little thing. And I hope you can teach Miss Clark about Dark Power in this gap Correct knowledge. Lest our eldest young miss worry all day when she will suddenly become a living dead person. "
"Okay, Rhodes."
I heard Rhodes' talking. Marlene can't help but pffft, but still nodded quickly, with Marlene's understanding, Rhodes' is really not a joke. For those ordinary person who lack magic knowledge, what magic soul power is just like the curse and blasphemy of Demon, scary. And as a Mage, Marlene certainly cannot tolerate this kind of brutal ignorance happening beside him. In fact, even if Rhodes is not mentioned, Marlene will find an opportunity to talk to Anhao. After all, this problem is not a trivial matter.
Humanity is always full of fear of the unknown, and deep fear will eventually only lead to two results. ——— either flees because of extreme fear, or succumbs to extreme fear. As you ca n’t defeat your enemy, then join your enemy. Many times, those with talent strength are unable to overcome the concept of fear in their brains, so that they degenerate themselves and become the thing they fear. Because of this, they are not afraid of anything.
"lì clean."
After commanding Marlene, Rhodes turned to lìjie again.
"I think about Clark will probably spread throughout Land of Redemption in a short time. I want you to communicate with Church on our behalf before this and tell them about the true situation of this matter. Maybe they will cooperate with you and let you do this. "
"No problem, Mr. Rhodes."
After hearing the Rhodes' order, lìjie is also without the slightest hesitation, and nodded quickly. After getting the reply from the two, Rhodes finally let go of it.
In fact, although Rhodes appeared to be very indifferent to the Clark girl, in fact, deep in Rhodes's heart valued the girl very much. Because for him, Ann's appearance is a supplement to his own power.
This is not an intentional exaggeration of Rhodes. In fact, when he learned from Shana that Ann came to seek his own help, Rhodes already had this idea. Among the forces under Rhodes' hand, the most scarce is talent. In terms of government affairs, the students brought by Marlene can barely fill the gap, but in another aspect, it has a very obvious shortcoming ——— that is commercial investment.
Although Rhodes is currently cooperating with several chambers of commerce, both parties are only cooperative. The only thing that can be considered as a subordinate relationship is Metz. But Rhodes will not hand over all commercial operations to this Fat Merchant. First, it is in the spirit of not putting eggs in a basket. Secondly, Metz is an old fritter after all, although he is now with Rhodes The cooperation is enjoyable, but after all, he is an adult and has been in the business world all his life. Both character and independent awareness have been developed, he can cooperate with himself happily, but loyalty to himself is unlikely. And Metz has established his own business, and in many cases, he is also responsible for his business. This is an objective factor. It is impossible for Rhodes to ask Metz to sell his wife, children and children to himself, which is also unrealistic. But now he doesn't have a very good candidate, so he can only do it temporarily. Marlene was born Noble, although she has a keen political mind and a big picture. But she has Noble's pride, and she doesn't have a cold for the merchant's existence in dealing with the following class. Rhodes can't imagine how a Noble eldest young miss like Marlene can bargain with other people like a traveling merchant ......... This is too uncomfortable.
As far as lìjie is concerned, she may be a good-hearted child, but unfortunately the quality of kindness is a fatal flaw for merchants, and lìjie is not good at this kind of thing. As for the others ... Not to mention.
That ’s why. After getting the report of Shana, Rhodes suddenly shined.
Although he did not have much contact with Ann Clark himself, but after saving this lady back, Rhodes learned about her resume from the side ———. She was born on the Kohl Plateau merchant ’s house, and is the head of Clark Family Female, the performance in normally, as a wealthy born eldest young miss, is pretty much the past. There is no disorderly scandal. There are no strange rumors. Most people think of An as a quiet, docile and obedient child. In addition to this, she seems to have inherited her father's talent commercially, at least after Ann was fifteen. She has followed her father out for business negotiations more than once, and her father has a very high opinion of Ann.
It is inevitable that some of them will be doped with water, but even so, for Rhodes. This is also a good start. If he can hold Ann in his hands, then whether it is for the commercial development of Starlight Guild or Glennvell Territory. Will be a good thing. Moreover, unlike Metz, An is now an orphan, and she can only continue to live in this world on her own. Rhodes is not worried that she will backwater, or that she will betray herself. As long as she can work for herself wholeheartedly, it is a good thing for her and Rhodes.
The only problem now is that the ability of this eldest young miss is not as good as the rumors say. After all, after seeing An several times, Rhodes found out that the performance of this young lady normally was really quiet, gentle, look It looks harmless to humans and animals. But the other way around, he didn't even see that this lady had talent ——— in business. Of course, Rhodes actually has nothing to do with his rescued passers-by.
But Rhodes is not without back-up, even if this lady ’s commercial talent is just an exaggeration, but she was born in a wealthy family, she is still a Rhodes subordinate/hand rare talent with a good high-level education, even if there is no commercial talent, this talent will be used to make a Marlene What to get started ......... There is always no problem.
For Rhodes, this is just an episode.
Under the same starry sky, far away, there was an unprecedented shock.
old man heavily threw the stationery in his hand on the table. He watched every word on it with complexion ashen and bit down hard. Every word, the white stationery inlaid with gold rim can clearly see the beautiful and smooth above under the fire light. Font, but in the eyes of old man, this elegant font is like a snake that creeps on the letter paper, which is disgusting! The people sitting on the round long table in front of him looked at this white-haired old man with different eyes. Some of them were worried, some were angry, while others looked at him with sarcasm and contempt. Although there was silence in the conference hall, it could not hide the waves of the dark tide.
"What do you think about this?"
Under the eyes of everyone, old man realized that he had just behaved a little abnormally. He hurried back to his seat and sat down, then raised his head to look at the people. Upon hearing old man's inquiry, a man in a black dress sneered disdainfully.
"Moon Dukedom protests to us? What a joke? The investigation team passed unanimously by Parliament of our light, they have enough power to do anything anywhere. Since they found the culprit that is likely to attack the tempest trade route Then, it is natural to take them back for questioning. But now, Moon Dukedom not only resisted by force, but even wanted to seize first? I think that Parliament of Light cannot continue to remain silent. We must protest with the strongest attitude. Ask Moon Dukedom to surrender the murderer, if they do n’t want to ... …… "
"What do you want? could it be, do you still plan to send troops to Moon Dukedom?"
The man ’s words were not finished yet. I saw another person sitting not far from him reach out and lifted his glasses, then ice-cold ’s started talking.
"In the current situation, how can we take Moon Dukedom?"
"We must show the dignity of the light Parliament and let the younger generations know how powerful we are! The investigation team represents the face of the light Parliament! If so, let the Moon Dukedom tyrant and her running dog be so humiliated Then, where is the justice we have always adhered to, where is the belief in "freedom" and fairness and justice? How can we explain to the families of those who died in war? And if they are known by other territories, they What is your opinion? "
"Now is not the time to discuss these, we should pay attention to more important practical issues! Because of the previous changes in the tempest business road and the recent poor harvests in several border areas, the Kingdom of Light's financial income in this year was not enough. If at this juncture In the past, we made a tough stance towards Moon Dukedom, so what if the grand duke cut off the funding of Moon again? "
"What are you talking about? The self-righteousness and justice that could it be uses for generations of blood and life is not comparable to those of the money, which is full of copper smell? Are you insulting our ancestors for generations? Does the generation pay for ideals and beliefs? "
“I do n’t mean that. I just want you to look at the problem with a more practical perspective. Because of the previous series of incidents, there has been a voice of dissatisfaction with the Parliament among the people. If you ca n’t get funding for this year ’s Moon Dukedom. Then there will be a vacuum and loopholes in our capital chain. We do n’t have enough money to fill this loophole. If we lose Moon Dukedom funding this time, at least three territories will go bankrupt directly. How to solve this problem could it be Do we have to increase taxes? Is this something you would like to see? People in Barcel, Glenk and Drexel are very dissatisfied with the hard work of Parliament to help those remote and bitter cold areas. If we want to increase taxes If so, the support rate for Parliament will drop! And, in the new year, it will be ......... "
"……………………"
Silence.
No one speaks, but everyone knows what that member of the parliament just said. The following year is the year of the four-year general election. The public's approval rating is the most important. But in the previous two years, Parliament did not show enough to satisfy the people, and this year's tempest business road incident and subsequent follow-up also made Parliament quite a headache. Many consortia have expressed their dissatisfaction in secret. Not only that, the public did not resolutely send troops to assist the Moon Dukedom group of questers who pursued the 『freedom』 and ideals of the Parliament, but sat down on the cruel tyrant of the ruthless tyrant. Suppressing the pursuit of the independent army of the "freedom" has also made Parliament shake during this period of time. According to the survey, led by Old Parliament Elder, the current Parliament support rate in the public has been reduced from the original 48% to 48%. Thirty-five percent, and now, the opposition and the **** are also taking advantage of this opportunity to start looking at the throne of Parliament Elder.
"Because of this, we have to show a tough side in front of the people, let the people know that we are not afraid of the threat of a tyrant! Our Kingdom of Light is still on this continent, free, fair, justice and ideal Lighthouse! "
"But empty words ca n’t fill our stomachs. If we ca n’t fill the financial loopholes, how do you face the question of the House of Commons? Moreover, Moon is an independent country. According to the Dragon of Light Regulations, our originally has no Right to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. We have protested against the brutal and **** "suppression" incident that occurred on the territory of Moon. We have done everything we should do, and we continue to persevere in this matter. Meaningful! "
The people who said this seemed very indignant, filled with righteous indignation, according to what they reasoned for. ——— At this time, they remembered that Moon was a sovereign and independent country.
Looking at the noisy Parliament Hall in front of him, old man frowned, and he extended his finger and pressed it on his forehead, let out a long sigh. The stationery in front of him made him look very upset. Of course he knew what the little girl wanted to do to protest at this time, but ... he couldn't help it. But now, what can he do? Thinking of this, old man complexion slightly sinks, he looked at the parliamentarians who were fighting for reasons before, but he felt unprecedented fatigue. It was himself who made the decision to dispatch the investigation team at the beginning, because he still wanted to be re-elected, and re-election required the support of Major Financial Group in Kingdom of Light. The tempest Shangluo attack time has caused certain losses and impacts on each Major Financial Group. In order to appease their dissatisfaction, Old Parliament Elder had to do something. But now, he finds that his hope of reelection has become increasingly slim. But can you be reconciled? Can he just give up?
Thinking of this, old man can't help but held the armrest of the chair.
And at this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
"Everyone, I think, I have a way to solve this problem."
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately stopped arguing. They turned their heads and looked at the person who said this ———. Under the watch of everyone, he stood up and looked at him with confidence and pride. Own colleagues.
"I think everyone is very clear, it will be time for Dragon Soul Holy Ceremony ... …… Maybe, we can do it on the top." (To be continued)
