At this time, Moan's meeting room was unusually quiet, and no one else spoke except for Rod's voice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThey all focus on Rhodes' storytelling and his twists and turns.

Rhodes continued his statement: "At that time, despite my young age, I was still smart, hiding at the bottom of the deck, motionless, and not even being noticed by them. I thought I could fool the past like this, and as soon as the ship stopped at a certain port, I would find an opportunity to disembark. However, fate did not give me such a chance. ”

"That night, the shouts woke me from my sleep, followed by a violent shaking of the hull, which at first I thought was in a storm. But the exclamations of the pirates quickly made me change my mind. Although I have never really come into contact with pirates, after following my father to the north and south for a while, I generally know that no matter what kind of storm, it is not enough to make the battle-hardened pirates so panicked! ”

"I heard their cries for mercy, and the sound of swords striking, perhaps a surprise attack on them by other pirates. Soon, the place where I was hiding was no longer safe, and the sea poured in, and I tried my best to climb up, but I couldn't get faster than the water could pour in. Finally I was swept into the ocean by a huge wave. ”

"The bitter sea water poured in, my body fell rapidly, I couldn't breathe, and this feeling of near-death made me struggle. It didn't take long for him to lose consciousness, but before that, the last thing that caught his eye was the shattered hull of the ship and the corpses of countless pirates...... I will never forget that scene for the rest of my life, but I still can't figure out what happened to the pirates that night, and whether they were really attacked by other pirates. ”

Later, I don't know how long later, when I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on a bed. There was a man in the prime of life sitting next to the bed, and behind him was a little girl about my age. ”

"So, you've been saved?" Lucia hurriedly asked, "Who saved you?" ”

Rhodes hesitated a little, he blinked and said, "What else can it be, an ordinary fisherman." ”

Mo An said eagerly: "What about the notebook?" ”

Rod shook his head: "After the soaking in the seawater, the note is already a mess reads;." The only recognizable thing was the pattern of the pocket watch and the word "Blood Rose". Later, when I grew up, I found out that this pocket watch belonged to Mabel, whose family had been killed. It is not surprising that he had the key to open the underground palace. And the mysterious "Blood Rose" is impossible to investigate. Over the years, I have also searched for the whereabouts of my father and sister, but I have no news of them when I have gone into the sea, so I have to look for this pocket watch instead. ”

Rod's narration finally came to an end, and for a while, there was silence in the room. Who would have known that Rhodes had experienced so much at such a young age. After a while, Lucia finally spoke: "So, who is the masked man you want to kill?" ”

Listening to Lucia's words, Rod didn't answer at first, he glanced at Mo An and Xuanyu, and it was obvious that the two were also very interested. He sighed and said, "The masked man is the Arteb who betrayed my father back then!" ”

There was silence again, and then Lucia asked, "But why did he wear a mask?" ”

Rod shook his head: "I don't know. I sent someone to investigate, and this masked man was not originally a nobleman, but twenty years ago he suddenly rose to prominence and was knighted. Without any merit, he can reach the sky in one step. In addition, although he never showed his true face, he was very close to the Royal Praetorian Guard, and it was not impossible to collude with the officers and soldiers back then. ”

"So, you're just guessing that he's the one who betrayed your father?" Mo Andao.

"I believe he is ......," Rhodes said and lowered his eyes, "In the alley back then, I also heard the officers and soldiers say to my father, 'Thanks to you, that kid is estimated to have to live with a mask for the rest of his life!'" Exactly twenty years ago, he ascended to the sky, and he was connected to the Praetorian Guard, and who else was wearing a mask? ”

"It's a pity that when you stared at him, he also stared at you." Xuanyu said, "This can be seen from the arrest of the Royal Theater and the fake masked man. ”

The corners of Rod's mouth rose slightly: "This makes him more sure that he has a ghost in his heart!" All in all, what he did back then was like killing my father's revenge, and I must pay for it with blood in this life and this life! Lucia seemed to see two raging fires in Rod's eyes, crackling and burning.

"I don't care about masked people and father-killers." Mo An's voice was slightly cold, "I just want to know what you think about the treasure. Do you really want the treasure or just to find out the truth from twenty years ago? ”

"It's a combination of both, and I'm afraid there's no one who won't fall in love with the treasure." Rod said, "What about you, Mr. Mo'an?" ”

Mo An's originally lowered eyelids suddenly rose, and after glancing at Rod, he quickly returned to his original appearance, but his instantaneous changes were seen by Rod, and he smiled and said: "I heard that the richer a person is, the more money has an irresistible attraction to him." ”

Mo An smiled: "That's right, I want money, the more the better." ”

Rod shook his head: "I don't think you look like such a person, besides, information about pocket watches is not something that can be bought for money." I know that Mr. Mo'an is extraordinary, since we are working together, you might as well let me open my eyes, how did you know the secret of the pocket watch? ”

Rod asked this question, and at the same time provoked the concern of the curious baby Lucia, she and Rod looked at Mo An opposite, and Mo An lowered his eyebrows, did not look at them and did not want to answer.

Once again, the atmosphere in the room froze. Mo An never spoke, and Xuanyu still held his head with one hand and didn't know what he was thinking. Rod finally couldn't sit still, he stood up: "Since Mr. Mo An is so insincere, then the matter of cooperation should not be discussed." With that, he walked around the couch to the door.

As soon as I walked to the gate, I heard someone say, "Do you really think that you can get out of my Crescent Moon Manor with your skills?" At this time, Mo An, who was sitting on the sofa with his back to him, finally spoke, but when he opened his mouth, there was such a heavy smell of gunpowder.

Lucia pulled the corner of Rod's coat and winked at him. Judging from his experience of three demon beasts in one night, Mo An's words are not exaggerated. But Rod's temper was the most threatening, and Moan's words were like adding fuel to the fire. He burst out laughing: "Thank you very much Mr. Moan for the reminder!" Before he could finish speaking, he rushed straight behind Moan like lightning, and then raised his right hand and grabbed his throat with lightning speed, the muscles of his entire right arm tensed, and Lucia knew that as long as Rod exerted force, Moan's throat would be crushed by him.

"I don't know magic, and I'm certainly no match for those monsters, but as long as I subdue you, it's easy to get out of here." Rod smiled slightly.

Lucia's heart was in her throat. Xuanyu, who was sitting next to Mo An, just glanced at Rhodes from the corner of his eye, still with a calm expression. Mo An, who was in a dangerous situation at this time, was also calm and relaxed, without a trace of panic. This annoyed Rod even more, and he was not worried about Mo'an, who had been controlled. The only thing that unnerved him was the Oriental man next to him, and intuitively, he thought that Xuanyu was a powerful character, but he didn't know when he would make a move.

The atmosphere became solemn, and at this moment, "dangdang", the door was knocked reads; Then the voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Master, there is a visitor." ”

Xuanyu suddenly changed her posture and was sitting up, glancing at Mo An. Rod stared down at Xuanyu's every movement. Lucia looked over Rod's shoulder, she didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to clean up the situation now. Mo An still calmly crossed Erlang's legs: "Where are the visitors?" The voice was so calm that it was completely inaudible that it was coming from the mouth of a captive.

"It's Mr. Alex Sandra, the captain of the Royal Praetorian Guard."

The servant's words surprised Lucia and Rod, they never expected Alex to come to Crescent Manor, and it was still at this time. Although Mo An didn't see anything abnormal on his face, he was really worried in his heart. If the captain of the Praetorian Guard saw Rhodes and Lucia here, it would be indisputable.

At this moment, Xuanyu laughed, and Rod, who had been staring at him, was startled by this smile: "You, what are you laughing at?" ”

"I laugh at you two, at the end of the day, you both have a common purpose and a common enemy. Instead of joining forces, such two people threaten each other. Obviously not a child anymore, but he is arrogant. Now......" he glanced at the door, "you have to clean up the trouble outside the door, and Lucia and I will not accompany you." ”

After speaking, Xuanyu stood up and beckoned Lucia: "Let's go." ”

"Wait, I still want to help ......" Before Lucia could say the word "busy", she was hugged by Xuanyu who came over and whispered to her, "It's okay." ”

Although it was only two short words, it made Lucia feel at ease. If Xuanyu said that it was okay, it was really fine, and I don't know when this unwarranted sense of trust was established between Lucia and Xuanyu. A flash of white light flashed, and Xuanyu and Lucia disappeared into the room.

Seeing that Xuanyu didn't mean to help, Rod couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the hand holding Mo An's throat relaxed a lot. And Mo An, because Xuanyu was no longer around, he had to be a little flustered first, he said: "If this stalemate continues, it will make Alex Sandra suspicious, you are arrested by me, and I can't get out of it, it's better for you to hide first, I will send him, and then continue our business." ”

It was a great idea, and Rhodes had no reason to refuse. Besides, even if Mo An is released now, without Xuanyu's help, he is not an ordinary person who is not his opponent, thinking about it like this, he nodded and let go of his arm. Mo An stood up suddenly, walked around the sofa, came to the fireplace, and slowly turned a candlestick on it. A gap suddenly opened in the bookshelf on the side, and it turned out to be a secret room door. Mo An motioned for Rhodes to hide inside, then closed the door and raised his voice, "Captain Sandra, please!" ”
