Summoning the Holy Sword

After hearing Lydia ’s words, the noise surrounding her quieted down. It ’s no wonder that the reason why the Midsummer Festival was so enthusiastic is that Lydia ’s promise, and the reformists and the royal party this time The reason why you fight for life is the same. Reformers want to take this opportunity to cut the party's face and increase their own strength. Of course, Wang Dang is unwilling to see similar things happen, let alone they are also worried about rumors circulating in the market, such as mercenaries who propose to spend the night with Lidia, or simply get married and have a child.

In the name of Lydia, she would not regret what she said, but this does not mean that her subordinates and the subjects can accept the archangel and the mercenary who are lowly and humble, let alone It is said that there is no emotional color between the two people, it is just a promise.

Now all eyes were on Rhodes.

Although the reformists failed, this does not mean that the royal party must be successful, because in fact, so far, Rhodes has not shown a clear commitment to the royal party. It is true that he eliminated two enemies for the connection of the King Party, but political allies are as simple as your enemy or my friend. What Rhode did at most only paved the way for him to join the royal party. Unless he made a clear statement, no one would be so optimistic that he would be his companion until he drank yellow wine and sprinkled chicken blood to worship his brother. .

Because of this, many aristocrats are actually looking nervous at Rhodes. They also know more or less the situation of Rhodes and the situation of the Starlight Mercenary Corps, and Rhodes showed in the arena. Their calmness also made them very concerned-they were also afraid that Rhodes would make some demands that made them uneasy. Although Rhodes' performance shows that he is unlikely to block the Wang Dang, the benefits are like a big one. You have more cakes, and I have less. Originally, after so many years, the reformists and the Wang Dang party have already been saturated in the interest cake. If you divide it, I will divide it. Everyone has counted it. Now I have added a new force to come in and share the cake. I am naturally a bit worried .

This worry not only exists in the Wang Dang, but the reformers are even more serious. Because Rhodes is too hostile to the reformers, they are also afraid that Rhodes would ask Lydia to share his cake at this time-in case this happened, the reformers would really be There is no place to cry. After all, this is Lydia ’s promise. The people of the entire principality have heard it for themselves. They cannot possibly accuse Lydia of trying to frame them or something. The only thing I can do is to blame Rhodes, but it is clear that this young man is very thick-skinned, and sees that he still does not change his face in the face of so many people's scolding. The other side, maybe in Rhode's opinion, this is not as loud as a fart.

So what kind of wish does this young man make?

Facing the eyes of everyone, Rhodes didn't show the slightest tension and pressure, and didn't hesitate. He first gave a little gift to Lydia, and then raised his head.

"Dear Your Highness, I do have something that I would like your help to do."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lidia opened her eyes slightly curiously, but Rhodes didn't care, he just kept talking very calmly.

"That's it, Your Highness. I have a younger sister ......... For some reason, she is very weak and cannot move like ordinary people. A spiritual master can cure her illness, but she cannot change her constitution. Therefore, I hope that Her Royal Highness will heal her body so that she can live a healthy and happy life like those ordinary children. "

Speaking of which, Rhodes no longer talks, and everyone's eyes on Rhodes have also changed. After all, no matter whether it is the King Party or the reformists, Rhodes would never have proposed such an unpleasant request. This is really beyond their expectations!

No wonder these people will be so surprised. After all, this is a rare opportunity. Grand Duke Lydia personally promised to fulfill a wish, even if they had never met it. Now, this young man has got this opportunity, and from his stand, naturally thought that Rhodes would like to choose to expand the power, or get some support and guarantee from the royal family to continue the development of his mercenary regiment, etc., but Now, Rhode's answer was unexpected.

Even Lydia opened her eyes for a while and stared at Rhodes. After a while, the archangel smiled unusually softly.

"It seems that you love your sister very much, Mr. Rhodes."

"I just don't want to make the same mistake again, Your Highness-if a person regrets something twice, it would be too stupid."

"I understand."

Lydia nodded slightly at Rhode's answer.

"I will fulfill your wish, and I can assure you, Mr. Rhode, I will fulfill your wish."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Rhode bowed his head and saluted Lydia, before he turned around and walked aside. Rhodes could feel the eyes of those aristocrats standing not far from him at this moment. There were doubts, consternations, puzzlements, and appreciations. Obviously, most of the royal aristocrats did not understand Rhodes 'ideas, while others expressed appreciation for Rhodes' choice. They may think that Rhodes was to avoid inconvenience to the royal party and would not let Lydia made a difficult request before making such a request. After all, such a thing as changing the physical fitness of a person, although only the Archangel-level talents can do it, but for those who roll in power and money As far as people are concerned, this is not attractive. And they certainly couldn't guess what Rhodes thought.

From the beginning, Rhodes never thought of using this to expand his strength.

He is very clear that in the Wang Dang, he is still a new foreigner. According to the terms of the game, now he and Wang Dang ’s prestige is the most ordinary, reaching the level of "friendliness" and even "respect." "Not really. If you want this and that as soon as you come up, it will inevitably give people a feeling of eating. It is as if a newcomer joined the guild and only made a few copies. Relying on his good skills, he wanted to make a leader and vice chairman of the Dangdang. This naturally caused dissatisfaction and resentment from other members. In the midsummer festival competition, they and the reformers have already reached the same level. There is no room for reconciliation, and the enemy cannot be forgotten while adding friends. What's more, the star mercenary regiment is too weak to eat a fat person. Too much demand will only make them alive, and for those who ca n’t support them, Rhodes can handle it himself, no need to use This desire.

Only this thing, Rhodes can not do it alone.

Qilian once told him clearly that only the Archangel and above existed that can change the physical constitution of the human being. The Dragon of Light does not need to think about it, then Lydia has become the only person who can change the fate of Christie. And because of this, it became the most important thing for Rhodes.

Although Rhodes did not think that Lydia would refuse, at this moment when she heard her promise, she felt relieved. At this time, Rhodes was also relieved, and started watching the next good show like everyone else.

The second person who came to Litia was Li Jie. Facing Litia's gaze, Li Jie looked up without hesitation, facing her sister bravely. Looking at Li Jie's eyes, Lydia smiled very softly and reassuringly.

"You have grown up, Li Jie --- you are no longer the fledgling that needs shelter, now that you have spread your wings, it is time to fly freely on this blue sky, then ... What do you wish? "

"I only have one wish, my sister."

Li Jie stared at her sister, and her clear eyes were not shaken in the slightest.

"I only hope that I can live a peaceful life as before. I only hope that I can continue my adventures and journeys. The principality now does not need me, my sister ... I only want to live the life I want."

"......... I understand what you mean, Li Jie."

After listening to Li Jie's speech, Lidia nodded, she reached out her hand, stroked Li Jie's hair, and carefully helped her to sort it out.

"I will fulfill your wishes, but you have to remember that Gold City is not just a palace, it is also the place where you were born, it is also your home ... ... if you feel tired during a long journey, If you are confused, you can come back here anytime, because this is your home. "

"......... Thank you, my sister."

After hearing this, Li Jie froze. She looked at Li Tia's face, she didn't know what to say. But at this time, Li Jie could feel a warm stream flowing from her heart. Since the death of her mother, she used to think that she no longer has any concerns here, so she can accept the resolution and leave Gold City, plunge into adventure. But now, Lidia ’s words suddenly made Li Jie feel extremely shocked. She stared blankly at the girl in front of her, as if it was the first time that she felt it. In this golden city, in this place, There was another person who shed the same blood as herself, waiting for her to return.

Are you really right?

At this time, Li Jie suddenly felt uneasy. She was in the mercenary group with so many friends and companions, but what about Li Tia? Is this way too selfish?

"Sister, I ........."

Li Jie opened her mouth, but at that moment Li Tia held out a finger and pressed it against her lips.

"If you have time, remember to come back and see me."

"………………"

Looking at Lydia's smile, Li Jie said nothing in the end, she just nodded, and then the girl lowered her head and wiped the tears in the corner of her eyes.
