Chapter 273: Thugs
Everything is going according to Rhodes's plan.
Under the suppression of Rod's strong words, Querieta completely lost the initiative, and could only only be said to be true, and completely implemented according to Rod's instructions.
And after Rod had completely convinced the lord, he also left the office - and by the way, took the two files with him, leaving only the sweaty Querieta and the confused Infutia.
The night was deep, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Queleta.
……………………
Querieta's side aside, we're focusing on Rod's body.
The next day. The sun is shining.
Visiting the Lord's Mansion at night was very rewarding for Rod, not only did he succeed in turning the lord into his temporary puppet, but he also got the news of two good thugs.
The guy named "Wen Rui" is trustworthy, has outstanding combat skills, and seems to have a strong compassion for the weak; And another guy named "Chasing the Wind" is also good at fighting, compared to the overly kind Wen Rui, Chasing the Wind is a lot more decisive.
While Queleta was still preparing, Rhodes planned to meet with the two guys first.
As for who will be the seer - let's chase the wind first!
Rhodes hadn't fought with anyone for half a year, so he just moved his muscles before doing something.
For the top adventurers, Besiliko has very little to do with it - but anyway, there is always a way to find them, and the way is documented in the archives.
According to the records, Rhodes carved a cross in the corner of a tavern, and then, at noon that day, Rhodes met Mr. Twind.
Under the coarse cloth robe, the shoulder armor was worn out, and it was full of scratches; The white-colored trousers are belted with a string, and they are neatly tied; The unkempt hair was tied in a bun at the top of the head; Under the clothes, there are scars on the sturdy body.
The most impressive thing is his calluses and unsheathed rapier, the hallmark of a master swordsman.
However, the master swordsman didn't seem to wake up yet, and he seemed to be rubbing his eyes before Rhodes appeared.
And when Rhodes, who was dressed in black, suddenly appeared, the haze in his eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by the evil aura in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows and the sharpness in his pupils.
"Mage—I don't remember you in the adventurer's administration."
"Oh, that's a coincidence." Rod took off his hood, "I don't understand why a generation of Ionian swordsmen would come to Noxus to be adventurers—right, Mr. Yasuo?" ”
Yasuo didn't draw his sword directly - but in response, his right hand touched the hilt of his sword, while his left hand, which held the scabbard, was already slightly upturned and pressed against the sword grid.
It can be unsheathed at any time.
Rhodes only pouted at Yasuo's vigilance.
There is no fear.
Rhodes hadn't seen Yasuo draw his sword, and he didn't know what level of his Wind Sword Skill was, but what she could confirm was that this guy wouldn't draw his sword easily.
and was seen through the identity...... Not enough to get Yasol out of the sheath.
"Let your guard down." In front of Yasuo, who was like a sharp blade about to be unsheathed, Rhodes waved his hand indifferently, "If you were to draw your sword, you would have already drawn it - you obviously have no killing intent, why bother pretending here." ”
Yasuo scratched his head, then picked up the gourd at his waist and threw it to Rod.
"Drinking?"
"Don't drink it." Rod refused Yasuo without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, the wine gourd flew back into Yasuo's hand, "Mages need to stay sober and can't use wine to drown their sorrows like those who are psychologically wronged." ”
"You seem to mean something." Yasuo frowned, "It's a pity. ”
"I do mean something." Rhodes nodded indifferently, "I don't know about Ionia, but the banishment of the Wind Swordman...... I've heard a little about it. ”
"So what?" Yasuo shook his head, unplugged his head and began to drink, "This has nothing to do with a Noxus mage. ”
"Two mistakes." Rhodes stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Yasuo, "First, I'm not a mage from Noxus, I'm from Zaun; Second, this matter has something to do with me. ”
As soon as Rod's words came out, Yasuo had already thrown away his gourd and bullied himself.
The blade is unsheathed, and the sword follows the man.
Rod, who had been prepared, immediately disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already ten steps away from Yasuo.
With a wave of his hand, a series of fireballs flew straight towards Yasuo.
Yasuo, on the other hand, kept walking, stepping forward.
The breeze seemed to be a part of Yasuo, helping to avoid the fireball and at a faster speed, coming to Rod's side again.
As if to grab a live mouth, Yasuo's long sword was held backwards - after reaching Rod's side with the power of the wind, he wiped the back of his bladeless sword directly into Rod's waist.
"Sa-"
With a sword in the air, Rhodes flashed away again.
Faced with another string of fireballs from Rod, Yasuo finally stopped.
The sword slashed in front of him, and an invisible wall of wind appeared in front of Yasuo, and although Rod's fireball passed through the wall of wind, although it was not extinguished, it lost control and smashed crookedly at Yasuo's feet.
Unaware of the heat around him, Yasuo frowned at the moment - obviously, he couldn't catch this mage.
"It seems that even if you have been wronged, you will not be able to learn restraint, and you still have a long way to go in the path of the wind." Seeing that Yasuo no longer continued to pursue, Rod began to comment leisurely on Yasuo's swordsmanship, "However, this time you flipped the long sword and finally learned to stop killing, and it was not for nothing." ”
Yasuo is really in complete chaos right now.
When he first met Rhodes and was called out of his identity, Yasuo thought that Rhodes was a lobbyist for Noxus and wanted to make himself fight for Noxus—this kind of thing he had experienced several times; And when Rhodes named himself for not having murderous intent, Yasuo felt that Rhodes seemed to have something to ask him for help; When Rhodes brought up his grievances, Yasuo took Rhodes as the exterminator sent by the wrongdoer; And now, Yasuo has completely lost sight of Rod's details, and can only look at Rod's carefully.
Pity...... Nothing.
The same black crow feather of Madison modified from the True Knowing Sect's Demon Resistance Cloak completely enveloped Rhodes - in this case, even though Rhodes was not wearing a hood, Yasuo could only see his face.
Noxian-like black hair and black eyes, but the relatively soft facial lines are more like Ionians - all in all, I have never seen them, and they are very unfamiliar.
"Explain your purpose, stranger." Since he couldn't see anything, Yasuo simply said directly, "Don't beat around the bush, say something straightforward." ”
"Okay." Rhodes nodded, "I know a little bit about the Ionian radicals. ”
"At what cost?" Yasuo's eyes narrowed slightly, "Tell me your purpose." ”
"I need your help—not against Ionia, but against Noxus."
"Noxus?" Yasuo raised an eyebrow, the enemy was clearly unexpected, "kind of interesting......
