The luxurious room of the Millennium Hotel seemed to be a little lively, and Dio, sitting on the edge of the bed, excitedly hugged the huge Missy puppet, chatting with Ling with a happy expression on his face. No matter how mature she is, the girl in front of her is just a teenage girl in the end. The reunion after a long absence made Theo unload the calmness that had been hidden on his face. If Lloyd had been here, he would never have imagined that the intelligent and calm Theo would have such a bright smile.

"Ike, how long are you going to stay here?" Tio asked, turning his head sideways.

"Huh? I think I'll wait until the 70th anniversary celebration is over, but it's a big festival, so I can't think of it if I don't participate. Ike thought for a moment and replied.

"Really?! Then you're going to take me to Missy Theme Park! Theo's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but speak.

"Speaking of which, it's time to come now." Ike looked at the clock on the wall and looked at the door of the guest room again, just when Theo and Ling were puzzled, there was a dull knock outside the door, and before the three of them could run to open the door, the door of the guest room was suddenly opened, and a man in fashionable clothes rushed in from outside the door and took off his sunglasses in a chic manner.

"If you don't knock next time, be careful that I tie you to a tree and starve for a few days, Rhine." Ike said with some annoyance. "And who do you wear sunglasses for at night?"

"You don't understand this, Ike, this is the current fashion." The young man replied very proudly, and when he saw Ike pulling out his long sword from the bedside, he quickly took off the earphones that were stuffed in his ear, and muttered in a low voice, "This is a limited edition." ”

"Long time no see, Rhine." Ling greeted her.

"Since last year?" Theo replied as well.

"One year, two months and eleven days to be exact." The young man named Rhine replied, "A merchant's time is of the essence.

"Why are you here?" Ling tilted her head curiously and asked.

"Business, of course." Rhine replied very aggrievedly, "You spend money all day long, I am the only one who is desperately making money, and the doctor is urging me to pay money all day long, I think he is getting farther and farther away from the doctor's job." ”

"You don't come, you said you were responsible for doing business at the beginning, and now you are talking about it." Ike replied angrily, "By the way, what about Arlinn?" She didn't come with you? ”

"It's impossible for both of the two people in charge of the trade to come." Rhine shrugged, "But actually, I think she's still lazy." ”

"So she's still in the Empire?"

"That's right, the situation between the two forces in the empire has become more and more tense recently, and the nobles seem to be determined to kill the iron blood."

"Hey, if those nobles really had the means to kill Iron Will, he wouldn't be worthy of this title." Ike sneered, "It's just a bunch of clowns." ”

"Yes, you're the boss, you're right." Rhine replied perfunctorily, "But their strength is indeed very large, and once the war starts, our business will probably suffer a big blow." ”

"Then do some war-related business." Ike replied without thinking, "Recently, Crossbell has not been at peace, trying to find a way to collect the funds after the anniversary celebration."

"Isn't it? Something is going to happen here? Rhein's eyes widened.

"This is what Ling said, the information from the puppet workshop, the snake has already begun to act, but the specific responsible apostle is not clear, only that the abyss of the sky has reached the empire."

"Are they going to war on both ends?" Rhine was stunned, frowning and thinking, "No, no matter how strong they are, if they start a war on both sides at the same time, will they call back half of the executors?" ”

"What if the empire and the autonomous states were deliberately attacked against each other?" Ike asked.

"This is the most likely one." Rhine nodded, but even this requires quite a lot of combat power, and such a big personnel change should not be hidden from Phil. ”

"He's just gotten the news, so he's glad you're in charge of the autonomous prefecture, and you have to tell Arlinn right away." Ike took a deep breath, "NO.1 has already left for the Empire." ”

"Did he come?" Rhine's face was a little ugly, "If he is here, the boss can't do without you." ”

"There's no rush now, I'll go to the empire after the celebration." Ike replied, "You should take care of the property and everything now." ”

"Even if you say so, you can't withdraw so quickly in a short period of time." Rhine wrenched his fingers, "Commodity transportation and sales follow-up stores or something, even if you want to be fast, it is impossible to withdraw if you want to think about it, the goods have been booked and transported, and now you have to lose a lot of money if you want to give up." ”

"I don't care, it's your business, I'm just responsible for reminding you, if our money is lost, probably I won't be the only one looking for you."

"This,It's a bright threat.。。。。

"Who knows." Ike shrugged "All in all, the specific situation is not clear, we have transferred everyone from Liber to the Imperial and this side separately, and they have all replied, at least six people will come." If you do the math now, it will probably come soon, and you should be ready. ”

"Hehe, leave this to me, I'm better than you." Rhine grinned and took an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Ike. "Admission to Missy Theme Park, take-away tickets to the Rainbow Theatre. Both Teo-chan and Rei-chan like this, right? ”

"Do you have that too?" Ling took the envelope and opened it immediately, looking at the ticket information curiously.

"I've heard it's hard to buy." Theo answered.

"This is true of ordinary people." Rhine replied: "But have you forgotten what this place is?" As long as you have money, you can buy anything here. Rhine put his sunglasses back on, and the previous appearance of hip-hop and contemplation was gone, as if he had instantly become a different person. He waved at the three of them, turned and walked out the door.

"I always feel that the Rhine has become stranger."

"He's weird." Ike replied nonchalantly, "But it seems that he hasn't forgotten about training." In this way, there must be a helper for everything. ”

"Ike, is there really something going on here?" Theo asked worriedly.

"Probably so, yes." Ike sat down beside Theo and hugged him in his arms and comforted, "After all, those snakes can't afford to be early, so you should know what that wolf is in support of Ko." ”

"How do you know?" Theo was slightly surprised.

"I happened to have a fight with the dragon who guarded the Sky Treasure when I was in Liber, and Zeite felt the same way as the dragon, and with that group of guys around, there was bound to be a fight. You might as well tell Lloyd about them. Ike thought for a moment, and then said, "Just say what is necessary, don't make people panic at this time." ”

"I see." Theo nodded. Then he was worried, and he wanted to stop talking, "Ike, you... ”

"I won't force it. I just have a feeling that this time the apostles, I'm afraid ... Forget it, don't think about it yet. Ike shook his head, smiled again, and pointed to the envelope in Rei's hand.

"By the way, Theo, when is your holiday?"
