Chapter 660: The art master is bold
While both Svein and Alyssa are troubled by the kidnapping and ransom incident, Rhodes is once again in the mines of Fort Wo.
This is Rhodes' second visit.
The last time he was here, Rhodes wanted to develop the faith of Cana among the miners in the mines, after all, the more desperate the more hope was needed.
But that time, as Rhodes investigated, he finally realized that these people had lost the ability to believe under the day's work - at that time, Rhodes faced the threat of Naga Kapoulos, and although he had the heart to help these poor people, he could only leave silently.
And this time, Rhodes revisited his hometown.
Rhodes came this time to free the slaves and put pressure on Noxus.
On the one hand, he was already very unhappy with this kind of perverted work, and on the other hand, it was to make himself have more say in front of Noxus.
Freeing the Mine Slaves, this is to slap Svein's face in front of him, telling him that "I can do immeasurable damage to Noxus if I want to, and you will not agree to my proposal".
Unexpectedly, after infiltrating the pit, Rhodes found that things had changed.
The number of slaves working here has increased considerably, and the wives of Black Iron and many of their children are no longer here - in their place, there are a large number of "big men" of the Valrokan family.
What's going on?!
Rod quietly caught a middle-aged man at work, and after using a little trick, he got the whole story.
It turned out that after Elisa staged a "Return of the King" (women's limited version), relying on the support of the Noxus authorities, she quickly reduced most of her family's wine bags and rice bags to slavery - "Now, I have helped you find a way to make a difference."
These former unearned moths were reduced to slavery and had to work in the pits all day long in order to survive.
The Valrokan family flourished, and the mines were overcrowded.
In this case, many guys who were not assigned to the mine because of their own ability began to slap Alisa wildly, hoping to fish out a few of their loved ones - and in the face of the crazy praise of these "useful people", Alyssa, who knew that she did not suffer from inequality, did not pardon anyone.
After the moths went down to work, Alyssa swapped out the children in the pit and the wives of the black iron.
Then, Alyssa issued a series of laws, which basically said, "If you want to redeem a slave, you must have the following merits......"
(Interestingly, Alyssa first threw her brother out of the mines, and then when the laws were enacted, she managed to get out of this stupid guy who had a good relationship with her.) οΌ
The guy who was caught by Rhodes is also interesting - although he is a direct member of the Valrokan family, this guy has found a good son-in-law, and just a few days ago, he received the news that he was about to be ransomed.
It is for this reason that he "knows everything and says everything" when faced with Rhodes's threats - unlike many guys who have no hope in their lives, this one is very promising.
And after getting the news he wanted, Rod didn't embarrass this guy who had successfully lost weight, but just knocked him out and finished it.
After leaving the pit, Rhodes was thoughtful.
"Alyssa...... It's kind of interesting. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
That night, after Alyssa had finished her work, an unfamiliar figure appeared in her office without warning.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Miss Elisa."
Alyssa's hand subconsciously grabbed at her waist - there was an ice dagger - the ice dagger given to Svein was originally a pair, and Alyssa kept one for herself.
But halfway through the hand, Rod didn't move, and Alyssa stopped on her own.
"A wise choice." Seeing that Alyssa did not continue to perform aggressive movements, Rod nodded in satisfaction, "Looks ...... You're a lot smarter than Qurieta. β
"Medivan?"
"You can call me that." Rod shrugged his shoulders absently, "The name is just a code name. β
"You are the only ones who can think so." Alyssa sighed softly and complimented without a trace, "I'm Alyssa-Alyssa Valrokan, and it took me a lot of effort to barely make Alyssa and Valrochan have a lot of weight. β
Hearing Alyssa say this, the corners of Rod's mouth finally turned up slightly.
It has to be said that Alyssa herself is very level.
After discovering Rod, she judged Rod's identity for the first time, and then took the initiative to put herself on the weak side - the invisible compliment constantly raised Rod's status, unless Rod was completely shameless, he really couldn't do anything to Alyssa.
"Tell the truth." Rod looked at Alyssa with interest, "I admire a ruler like you. β
"How?"
"Do you know where I just went?"
"Uh, I don't know."
"Black Iron Pit."
Alyssa's pupils shrank slightly.
"But you're doing a good job - I don't mean to interfere more, but those children shouldn't be born destined to live in a dark pit for the rest of their lives, whatever your purpose, but in this matter, you're doing it to my liking."
"Just go with the flow." "When I was born, I was the most inconspicuous member of the family - my mother had no power and was still a girl - for the children in the mines, I just vented my extra sympathy, after all, this kind of opportunity is not much for a Noxian lord. β
"That's why I admire you - intellectual, but never coldly discarding your emotions." Rhodes simply used the materialized arcane energy to get the chair out and sit comfortably on it, "So, I'm going to give you a chance. β
"What do you mean?" Alyssa's eyes narrowed vigilantly, "I'm not like that silly woman in Quaretta - I won't betray Noxus!" β
"Of course not." Rhodes smiled, "So I don't have the same attitude towards you - not only do I not need you to betray Noxus, but I can even help you build a friendship that merits and gains the hand of Noxus." β
"So." Alyssa's hands clenched into fists under the table, "At what cost?" β
"Is it cost...... Rhodes organized his words, "I need to see Svein - the sooner the better, I'm in a hurry." β

"And you, it seems, are a good middleman."
