Chapter 11 Separation
Rod fastened through the athlete's tunnel and now needs to settle the follow-up troubles.
It's not just Uncle Jack and Annie's matter, but also the other party's father is the sheriff of Anluo City after all, and it is natural that he will not be a simple person to become the sheriff of the administrative and trade center of this Stormwind Province.
It's just that Rhodes had carefully inquired about the information before the duel, and knew that the sheriff at this time was accompanying a certain nobleman from the royal capital, and he was not in Anluo City, and he could take advantage of the time difference to enter Wang Lit and other academies.
As long as you enter Wang Lit and other colleges, it is equivalent to obtaining a protective umbrella, not to mention a small magistrate, even a nobleman cannot be presumptuous at will, because this is a direct academy of the Sartre royal family, and even the principal is nominally the current king of the country.
Therefore, as long as Rhodes entered Wang Lit and other academies, he would not worry about any danger, but the problem to be solved now was the two servants who stayed with the tall young man, and they provoked and beat Uncle Jack together with the tall young man in the first place, and it was inevitable that Uncle Jack would not confess.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be done by Rod, who has just become the winner of the life-and-death fight, and has also won the victory by using the second kill method, and there are many people who are paying attention to him, if he rashly attacks and kills, it is bound to be very likely to be seen, therefore, this matter needs Tom's action.
"How, can you do it?"
Through psychic communication, he already knew Tom's ability to awaken, and as a result of a night of adaptation, it was an ability called shadow stealth, which could be invisible in the shadows.
"Yes, master, I can now start shadow stealth at will, and there is no shortage of shadows to cover my body in this city."
Through psychic communication, Tom can also speak at will, so in order to prevent accidents, Rod did not spend magic to modify Tom's throat yesterday.
"Very good, go and kill those two people, if they also tell the others about it, let the others disappear as much as possible, be careful not to reveal their identities, the main purpose is to hide themselves, understand?"
Rod's lips didn't move, he walked unhurriedly, holding the whole body armor in his right hand, and his eyes were also staring at the whole body armor, looking as if he was studying the whole body armor.
"Yes, I will take their souls back and dedicate them to my great master."
Tom said a plunge, his whole body surged, wrapped his whole body and dived directly into the shadows, after feeling it for a while, confirming that there was no problem, Rod walked towards the contestant's waiting room, there should be someone waiting for him there.
Rhodes returned to the waiting room and found that someone was waiting there, but it was not Bane and Lisa, as Rhodes expected, but Uncle Jack and Annie.
Uncle Jack stood there embarrassed, his face free of fear and anxiety; When Anne saw Rod, she waved her hand excitedly, and the haze of three days ago was no longer visible on her smiling face.
Rod also smiled and wanted to wave his hand, but his right hand made a jingling sound, and then waved with his left hand, carefully observing the two with his eyes, and greatly relieved in his heart, for this Jack family who took care of himself, Rod didn't want them to have any bad sequelae because of what happened three days ago, and it seems to be good now.
This made Rhodes feel a strange feeling in his heart: "It seems that as long as it is used properly, the power of demons can not only kill people, but also save people." ”
As a normal person, how can he be defenseless when he dares to obtain demonic power, but the appearance of Uncle Jack and Annie reminded Rhodes that even if it is demonic power, it is not just a simple killing power, but also can save people.
Walking into the waiting room, a bag of money appeared as expected, and there were ten gold coins in it, which was enough for a civilian family in Anluo City to live for ten years, if you live in a small village with little expense, this money is enough to live for a lifetime, even if it is a well-off family like Uncle Jack, it is enough to live for more than seven or eight years.
Rod and Uncle Jack and Anne said very pleasantly, it should be said that it is a memory of ordinary people, Uncle Jack is like an elder, expressing apologies and inviting Rod to dinner, and Anne is like a little sister who is constantly pestering herself, curious and wants to ask everything.
This made Rod very happy, and time passed quickly, and after accepting Uncle Jack's request for dinner tonight, Rod and the two parted.
While Rod smiled and waved, Tom also came with the news that he had successfully assassinated the two ordinary people, Uncle Jack and Anne were not exposed by the two, and the bodies were swallowed directly by Tom, and no one would find a trace.
It's just a pity that the shrewd servant knew that something was wrong, and had already notified one of the defenders to go out of the city, in order to inform the sheriff, who, judging by the speed of the defenders' horses, would be able to get the news at noon.
Rod's face did not change, but his heart couldn't help sinking.
Although he originally planned to leave today, the visit of Uncle Jack and Anne made Rod have to change his itinerary, after all, it is a kind family that helps him, and at this time, it is impossible to refuse ruthlessly.
However, Rhodes is not too worried, even if the sheriff has the heart to return, the nobles who come from the royal capital will definitely be distracted and weak, so there is still time.
So it shouldn't matter if you stay for a day, of course, Rhodes won't hope for possibilities, he is not ready to give up and step out of the dueling arena with the preparation he should have.
Glancing at the value of energy, this is his biggest hole card at the moment, 450 energy, plus the souls of two more people who will turn into energy, should be enough to strengthen three times.
When he got home, Rod was smiling, Bane and Lisa were standing in front of the door, Lisa was calm, and Bane was already a little impatient.
Uncle Jack and Annie should have been seen just now, so Lisa quietly left with Bane, because Rhodes had already told Lisa about Uncle Jack and Annie.
"Judging by the way you look, you should be fine."
Lisa came over to straighten Rod's clothes, her eyes revealing reluctance and memories of the past, but more of a sense of anticipation for his future life.
"I've become Lord Bane's personal secretary, and I'm going to leave with Lord Bane now, there may be fewer opportunities to meet in the future, so you have to take care of yourself."
Lisa has tears in her eyes, although it is said that the first step to realize her dream, but as a price, Lisa gave up her childhood sweetheart, but she will never waver, marrying into a wealthy family and stepping into the sky, this is Lisa's hope when she was a child, even if she wants to climb to a higher position, this is also a difficult shortcut.
"Then ...... Congratulations. ”
Rod didn't know what it was like, it was a lie to say that the original owner had no feelings for Lisa, but this relationship contained more respect for Lisa, he knew Lisa's dream, so he didn't stop her, and he didn't selfishly want to monopolize Lisa, because Lisa should have her own dreams.
It's just that Rod couldn't say the sourness in his heart, and the tears unconsciously wanted to fall, but fortunately, he reacted in time, and in the heart agitation, Rod suppressed the tears that were about to fall.
Lisa clearly knew Rod's thoughts, and smiled with tears, not sad, but a smile that left behind the feelings she instinctively had, just like Rod wouldn't stop her, and she wouldn't stop herself.
"You have this ticket, the departure time is the day after tomorrow, the location is Shanhai City, this is the fastest trip recently."
Rhodes took the ticket and found that it was the first-class ticket for the latest steam train, and glanced at Bane in the distance, knowing that this was one of the conditions that Lisa had exchanged for herself.
Although he knew that this was one of Lisa's plans, one of the means to test Bane's character, Rod still gave Lisa one last hug, and clinged to each other, Lisa suddenly burst into the remaining tears in her eyes, and along with the tears there was the unsprouted emotion.
After a while, Lisa raised her head and showed a big smile: "You have to take care of yourself, little brother Rod, otherwise my sister will be worried." ”
"Hey, Miss Lisa, I'm not a kid anymore."
"Well, I'm leaving soon, Bane's convoy is already waiting for him outside."
"Well, goodbye."
"Goodbye."
It wasn't until Lisa disappeared from sight that Rod walked into the room, he didn't know what mood he was in now, but he knew that the seedling in his heart was dead, dead before it could grow.
