Chapter 1313: Special Ambassador
was debunked, and Rod didn't have much embarrassment - it was Delo who was discovered, what does it have to do with me Rode?
It's not clear exactly what Orianna used to find herself, but it was supposed to be some kind of gadget with special functions, and it was definitely not a spell.
As a rune annihilator, Rhodes knew very well that whether it was a time-rewinding spell or a causal search spell, it would be difficult for him to have any effect.
"So, Miss Oriana." Rod looked at Oriana in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Are you trying to arrest me?" β
"I don't think so." Orianna didn't hide it, "But...... I'm a little curious when I see what you left on your suitcase - I don't want to be a villain, considering that the owner himself has no intention of pursuing it. β
"......" Rhodes shook his head a little helplessly when he heard this, and smacked his lips, "Miss Oriana, I hope you can say something straight - if there is anything that needs to be done by me, we may not be able to make a deal, there is no need to use such means." β
"So, Mr. Droz." Oriana hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Can I hire you as a special ambassador for the Piltover Legation, as a detective during Ionian diplomatic activities?" β
"Me? Investigative work? Rhodes was really a little surprised at this time, "You are now inviting a person who has just taken your friend's three thousand gold Hex to become a special ambassador for diplomacy?" When did Pitcheng's diplomatic envoys become so worthless? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Take a step back, even if you have that permission." Rod took a sip of honey water, "Why do you believe me? And why should I trust you? β
Rhodes asked the heart of the question.
You see, before he got on the ship, Rod had never heard of another Freljord envoy on the shipβapparently, the mission was kept in complete secrecy.
And a secret activity, now to pull an unidentified person as a diplomatic envoy, and also responsible for important investigation security, who believes that there is no problem?
Is there no one left in Piltover?
No one can't pull a strong man like this!
"Mr. Derot, I can't do anything about it." Orianna looked at the tall, thin man in front of her without blinking, "This mission is confidential, but due to some accidents, we may face some destruction, in this case, we have no more choice - and the reason why we chose you as the object of appeal is mainly because of the amulet you left behind." β
The amulet I left behind?
Rhodes was even more confused.
Didn't I know the amulet I had drawn? It's just a simple arcane spell, the most basic kind, which represents defense, pronounced as a kag, two concentric circles, with a shape similar to lightning in the middle...... What's the matter?
In Valoran, no one but herself knew what this arcane spell meant.
Now you say you believe I'm a good guy because of this thing...... I can't even see it myself!
"I had the privilege of working under Mr. Victor to study clockwork automation and clockwork dynamics." As if thinking that Rod was still shirking, Orianna looked determined, "When I borrowed Mr. Victor's notes, I once saw a symbol exactly like it, and I was a little curious, so I took the liberty to ask, but Mr. Victor said that it was a special energy mark of Zuan, and only a few people who were close to him knew about it, and it belonged to an unconventional energy." β
ββ¦β¦β
"I know that even though the two cities are now one, many Zauns are still wary of Piltover, but ...... This operation is not only the operation of Picheng, but also the operation of Zaun - so, Mr. Droz, please! β
ββ¦β¦β
Come on, now Rod understands.
Strictly speaking, this is really self-deception - Victor, as Rhodes's apprentice, learned some arcane theories from Rhodes, and the basic spells are indeed within the scope of learning.
It's just that Victor himself doesn't have any talent for arcane spellcasting, so for him, Rod's teaching is more about the expansion of ideas and basic research.
And these basic arcane spells, including attack, defense, energy, explosion, chaos, etc., were indeed absorbed by Victor and became some of the miniature power sources or energy storage in his new works.
As for Victor revealing it to Oriana...... That's not a revelation at all!
If Orianna had really studied with Victor and saw these arcane spells, Victor casually explained, and that would be fine.
So, as a result, by chance, Rhodes was taken by Oriana as "a person who was close to Victor and might have even studied the evolution of Hexes together." β
Mouthful.
After figuring out the situation, Rod's first instinct was to simply leave, but then he realized that this was not a good opportunity for clothes moths.
Anyway, my goal is Ionia!
After roughly calculating the distance of his operation, Rhodes finally pretended to be embarrassed - and Oriana, after sensing Rhodes' hesitation, repeatedly assured and even took out her study notes from following Victor.
In this case, Rod finally "reluctantly" agreed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing that Rod finally nodded, Oriana finally sighed secretly here - she took out a contract from the suitcase, and then signed it with Rode.
The terms of the contract were simple, Rhodes' powers, duties and rewards were clear, he was to follow the envoys on his journey, and to serve as a scout and escort under the command of Orianna until he arrived in Presidium; As a reward, Rhodes could enjoy all the powers of the Freljord envoy, and he could also receive a reward of two thousand gold hexes when he arrived in Preshidian.
After confirming that there were no special pitfalls on the contract, Rhodes took the pen handed by Oriana and signed it overnight.
Looking at the signature of Dro Salo at the bottom, Oriana finally let out a long breath, she carefully put away the contract, and looked up at Rod.
"Where does Mr. Droz live now? If you can...... It's best to move to a room near the mission - I can go to the captain for a swap. β
"Then it's troublesome." Seeing Oriana's serious face, Rhodes simply nodded, "I hope you're in first class...... You won't say? β
"I'm sorry, Mr. Droz." Orianna shook her head apologetically, "In order not to be obtrusive, we booked a second-class ticket. β
