Chapter 339: Variables

The reunion of brother and sister is naturally very cordial.

But these two are not ordinary people after all, and they don't show much intimacy after meeting - Fuya turns to her brother and begins to introduce Rod.

"Brother, this is Master Olakiel—he has helped us banish the Hurricane Dragon; This is Master Aurakill's apprentice, Miss Anne. ”

"Lord Orakil, Anne—this is my brother, Jenn."

Fuya didn't mention her last name when she introduced Jenn, and it seems that she didn't want to make it public.

Noxus is a relatively "unruly" country, and if a Demacian doesn't introduce his surname, either because he doesn't have a relatively noble surname (from a commoner), or because he doesn't bother to tell you his last name - so among the heroes of Demacia, the one who doesn't tell you the surname is either a commoner like Lucian or a stranger like Bobby.

But in Noxus, in addition to the commoners and strangers, there are also many people who are "not proud of their surnames", and they don't like to give their last names when they introduce themselves.

Jenn's Fuya is not like a commoner (I have to say, the etiquette of the nobles is always so pompous and obvious), and in Rhodes's opinion, they, like Svein, do not think that their surnames carry a place of glory.

(To be clear, Svein's full name is Jericho Svein - Svein is his former surname, because the Svein family once plotted treason, so he reported and crushed the entire family, Svein went from a surname to a first name, and Svein changed from Jericho Svein to Svein.) )

For the question of surname, Rod has never cared much about it, the surname itself carries a person's natural position and responsibility, and Rode, as an outsider, has no feeling for the surname.

In Valoran, Rhodes has no feud or mortal enemy, so why do you care about your surname?

And what Rod cares about is Jenn's attitude.

It seems that Jenn is on his own arrival...... It's not very welcoming.

That's weird.

As Fuya said, the entire town of Shuangxi has withered a lot because of the wind dragon, so in this case, his arrival should be warmly welcomed, right?

But why is Jenn's attitude towards himself polite, respectful, and slightly distant?

Among them, politeness is ceremonial, and respect is slightly alienated because of one's own strength...... The reason for this is intriguing.

Fuya apparently sensed the sensation as well, and quietly reached out and poked through the crack in her brother's armor - the Assassin-trained Fuya's nails were so sharp that Jenn felt as if her waist had been cut.

Seemingly...... The mage in front of him was so powerful that Fuya had to have a good relationship with him.

Come on, another person came over for a piece of the pie.

The simple interaction between the two siblings exchanged enough information, and before Rod could figure out the reason for Jenn's attitude, Jenn had already taken the initiative to speak.

"I'm sorry, this Master Mage, Sungai Town is ...... right now There weren't a few people in the whole town left, and even if I wanted to welcome them, it would be hard to do so. ”

"Oh?" Rod showed a just right, very interested expression, "Is it convenient to reveal what happened in Shuangxi Town?" ”

"What's so convenient about this?" Jenn laughed, as if something was not worth mentioning, "The barbarians to the north are at war, their wizards seem to have invented some new voodoo potion, and many tribes are asking for some herbs at high prices—and one of them is nearby, so almost the whole town has poured out." ”

Rod nodded.

This is very interesting news, especially in the light of the wind dragon.

Fuya had previously said that the Wind Dragon caused a lot less prey in the entire vicinity of Sungai Town - which would have been a bad thing.

Interestingly, when the barbarians began to buy herbs at high prices, the decrease in the number of beasts in the vicinity became a good thing - it meant that the people who collected the herbs would be in a relatively safe state, with no beasts to interfere with.

And more importantly, judging from the fact that almost all the people in the entire town of Shuangxi went out to collect medicines, the price of medicinal materials is not simply "expensive", it is very likely to be "very expensive" - so expensive that you can ignore the family business.

If this is the case, Rhodes's "help" becomes a kind of "help".

This kind of change caught Rhodes a little off guard, the barbarians went to war, and the barbarian witch doctor also happened to master a new potion, which was a completely small probability event.

And this kind of small probability event happened to Rod to meet.

Bad luck.

Fortunately, at least he came into contact with the Northern Dragons and accepted Anne as his little apprentice, which is not for nothing - but I am afraid that the missionary matter will have to be based in a different place.

It should be a little further south, looking for a place that is not affected by this kind of influence, and use it as a base for the Cult of the Storm Patronus.

Thinking of this, Rod planned to leave directly.

But Fuya was reluctant to let Rhodes go.

"Master Orakil—remember your pact with the dragons? Wouldn't it be bad if you were gone and the dragon came to Sungai and couldn't find you? ”

"It's not a big deal." Rhodes waved his hand, "When I get to the next stop, I'll tell you where I'm going, and then you can just tell the dragons directly......"

Anyway, there are several settlements in the Black Forest, and Rhodes is very short on time, so he has no time to wait for the people from Shuangxi Town to come back - God knows how many levels they have to go into the mountains to collect medicine, and they have a total of half a year, so they can't afford to waste it!

In the face of Rod's resolute attitude, Fuya spoke almost pleadingly.

"Master Olakir, you've done us a great favor anyway—at least stay overnight before you go? I beg you! ”

Rod raised an eyebrow.

Obviously, Fuya must have something on her own mind, and she needs time to communicate with her brother.

After a few days of contact, Rhodes already got to know Fuya.

This is a girl with a clear and calm mind and decisive and bold behavior - she is ambitious and capable, and belongs to the existence of the attribute of "strong woman".

Although Fuya has not really grown into a strong woman at this time, her character and ability, Rod still agrees.

Since she really wanted to stay overnight, she must have a follow-up plan - and a plan that must appeal to her, she said this.

If that's the case...... Why not stay overnight?
