Chapter 608: Angels and Dragons (III)
"After talking for a long time, the result is still here."
Looking at the castle bathed in moonlight in front of him, Rod couldn't help scratching his head and muttering to himself.
Judging from the news I got from my sister, if the dragon clan is pregnant, it is impossible to give birth to a child in thirty or fifty years. This is also the reason why most powerful races have low birth rates. Just conceiving a child and giving birth is enough to live more than half of a person's time, not to mention that even if it is born, it takes a long, long time to grow up. Take Irene herself, she has been almost four or five hundred years since she was born, and she looks like she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, which shows how slow the growth of the dragon clan is, which can be regarded as a little relieved for Rod, even if Irene is really pregnant with her own child, she doesn't have to fight against Chaos with a big belly, after all, no matter how busy she is, she can't live a year or two here. According to my sister, even if she is really pregnant with a child, the impact on the mother is basically zero. After all, the body of the dragon clan is still very strong, and the general damage will not affect the child itself too much.
But even so, Rhodes ended up in Moon City. Although it is not certain that Irenene is pregnant, Lydia is also unreliable in the clouds. However, Lydia said it herself about Irene's poor health, and nothing else is necessarily right, and this can't be wrong after all. Therefore, after thinking about it, Rhodes finally decided to come and see how Irene's body was, even if she didn't talk about pregnancy, her identity as a dark dragon did need attention. After all, it will take the combined power of the five dragons of creation to open the dimensional passage at that time, and it will be much more troublesome if Irene is like her brother.
Since the Night City has been destroyed by Labis's plane, there are not even any residues left of the bomb, so the relocation of the Night Kingdom has become an inevitable matter. In the end, Irene chose the Moon City in the southwest of the Night Country, in the Moonlight Forest, as the new capital of the Night Kingdom, which was originally Irene's fiefdom and her villa. It is now used as the capital of a country, although it is not quite qualified. However, the Night Nation itself has also lost a large part of its territory, and it can be considered a "good complement" when combined with this small capital............
However, when he first saw the Moon City in front of him, Rhodes had an inexplicable sense of immediacy.
In the moonlight, the tall white castle by the sea shimmers with a hazy soft glow, which is even more vivid than the darkness of the sea at night. I don't know why, when I saw this Moon City. Rod immediately couldn't help but think of the Golden City in the Duchy of Moon. Although the geographical location is very different, they all feel the same beauty. It's just that the Golden City is as dazzling as the sun, and this Moon City is like the moon, bright, crisp, and from a distance, surrounded by a dark ocean, the Moon City on the peninsula looks like a bright full moon in the night sky, and no one can ignore its brilliance.
It seems that it is not for nothing that Irene and Lydia have a good relationship.
"The hosts. You're finally here. ”
As Rod, he naturally didn't need to be notified when he came to Moon City, in fact, before Rhodes came here, he had already informed Angelin through Guò Soul Contact. And at this moment, at the gate of Moon City, the little guy was naturally already waiting there. Seeing Rod coming, Angelint also immediately stepped forward to salute Rhodes. Originally, she had planned to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Rhodes, but Rhodes was not very interested in the ceremonial things, and it was a waste of time. Rejected Angelinte's request. So this time, Angelin was just waiting in front of the gates of Moon City by herself, and at this moment she saw Rhodes arrive. Angelint also hurriedly stepped forward and welcomed Rhodes into the Moon City.
As a city of undead creatures, Moon City is a little less dead and more popular than other places. This was originally Irene's fiefdom, and Irene's affection for humans was still relatively good. Because of this, there are more humans in Moon City than in other places. Follow Angelinte's presentation. Now it's her and Garcia's territory, except that Angeline is in the east and Garcia is in the west by the sea. This is because the undead don't like the sea, and humans do the opposite--and Rhodes is really curious, in a place like Night Country, which is eternal darkness. How are these people going to fish? It's a nuisance, isn't it?
But this time he came to Moon City, after all, he didn't come to explore the customs.
"Where's Irene?"
Following Angelinte into the City of the Moon, Rhodes asked casually while looking at the castle in front of him. I have to admit that this place is indeed in line with Irene's preferences. As far as the eye can see, you can see that there are thousands of gold works hanging all over the corridor, and in addition to the paintings, there are also some decorations dug out of some ruins, which are very pleasing to the eye under the illumination of the night pearl. Rhodes estimated that if all the treasures in this corridor were recovered, they would be worth enough to buy half of Casablanca.
"Irene is handling government affairs, and it's almost time for afternoon tea."
As she spoke, Angelinte led Rhodes deeper into the hallway. Everywhere along the way, beautiful maids dressed in maid costumes could be seen respectfully saluting the two of them, but what made Rhodes feel strange was that he could perceive that these people were the most ordinary humans, not the undead. This surprised Rhodes a little, because judging from the information he had received from Angelinte, Angelinte's power had obviously grown, but now it seemed ......... It doesn't seem to have come to fruition.
"What's the matter with these maids?"
"Majesty still likes humans more, and because of Ion's Majesty before, Majesty actually doesn't particularly like the vampire species themselves. Therefore, I did not let my subordinates serve Her Highness Irene, who were more responsible for diplomatic affairs and intelligence investigation. These maids were all sent by Lord Garcia, and there was no problem with loyalty. ”
"I see."
Hearing this, Rod nodded. He had also heard Angelinte's report about Ion and the Vampire, so he knew that Irene must have witnessed that scene with his own eyes. So it's fair that she doesn't like vampires very much. If it weren't for Angelinte's good relationship with Irene, I'm afraid it would be impossible to get the support of the Moon Queen now. However, looking at Angelinte's indignant look when she talked about Garcia, it can be seen that Angelinte's heart is also unbalanced, which is also normal, the country of night is the country of the dead. The living have no place here. Even if it was the earliest of the four demon generals, in fact, the lowest status among them was Garcia instead of Eswell, because Garcia was a human. That's why Angeline is so unhappy with Garcia now. Although Garcia, as one of the four demon generals, has the strength there, and he will not live for a hundred years like ordinary humans, but after all, he can't be compared with the undead creatures with long lives. But being so valued by Irene, it is difficult for Jalynt to be a little depressed.
However, this kind of thing is not the scope of Rod's concern, and he probably guessed that Irene is doing this to check and restrain the power of his subordinates. But this is an internal affair of the Night Nation, and Rhodes has no right to interfere. And Angelinte's sense of power is indeed too strong, if she doesn't suppress it, it's hard to guarantee that her goal won't be thinking about becoming the head of the four demon generals or something, and now it's better to be grinded by Irene like this.
And Angelint didn't intend to let Rod say a few nice things about herself in front of Irene, she just mentioned it casually, and then the conversation between the two quickly got back on track.
"How's Irene's health lately?"
"Recently, Irene Majesty's body ......... I don't think there's a problem. It's not much different from before, it should be a qiē normal. ”
After hearing Rod's inquiry, Angeline hesitated for a moment, but finally answered. In fact, after Rhodes asked her about Irene's situation, Angelinte volunteered to be Irene's personal maid again. Of course, with her current status, it is naturally impossible to be by Irene twenty-four hours a day, but in order to respond to her master's expectations. Angeline still gritted her teeth and persevered, which can be regarded as giving Rod an explanation.
"That's ..............."
Hear Angelinte's answer. Rod didn't say much, it didn't seem to have much to gain here in Angelinte, it seemed that he still had to rely on himself. And just as Rod was thinking this, she saw Angelinte's mouth open as if she was a little unspeakable, and she hesitated for a moment before she spoke.
"That......... Master. Although Irene Xià's body is fine, she does have a little trouble these days. ”
"What's the trouble?"
Hearing Angelinte's report, Rod raised his eyebrows. Hearing Rod's inquiry, Angelinte hesitated, and finally continued.
"This ............... According to my findings. For some time, it seems that someone is pursuing Her Highness Irene......"
"Oh?"
Faced with this unexpected answer, a cold light flashed in Rod's eyes. Who is so bold as to dare to snatch food from their own mouth? You must know that Irene is her own woman, although not many people know about this relationship except for the two of them, but even if this matter is removed, Irene Dark Dragon's identity, can't it still discourage ordinary people? How dare anyone chase the dark dragon? Don't want to die?
"What's going on? Who has such guts? Don't you want to die? ”
"This ........."
Saying this, Angeline showed an embarrassed expression.
“……… I heard that it seems to be the same clan of Irene Xià..............."
“…………………”
Rhodes twitched the corners of his eyes in the face of Angelinte's answer, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
In this way, under the leadership of Angelinte, the two came to the outside of Irene's study, and then Angelinte raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door.
"Your Highness Irene, His Majesty Rhodes is here."
"Please come in."
Hearing Irene's answer, Angeline respectfully opened the door of the study, and then made an inviting gesture to Rod, and Rod didn't say anything, so he walked straight into the study. This was Rod's first visit to Irene's study, and it was different from Lydia's splendour, which seemed to be full of luxury. Irene's room is even more chic and exquisite, with pure white sofas and bright red velvet curtains, paired with pale yellow carpets and mahogany bookshelves. Coupled with the fireplace with a burning fireplace, it gives a warm and chic feeling. It wasn't until he entered this place that Rhodes deeply felt the difference between the living and the dead. Although Irene is a dark dragon, she is also a living creature after all, not like those undead creatures, making her room as cold as a tomb, but full of a home-like warmth.
It is a sense of comfort and peace that comes from the depths of the heart, especially in this eternal night. In the country full of coldness and death, it even gave Rhodes the illusion of wanting to lie here and rest all the time.
"Mr. Rhodes."
Seeing Rod walk in, Irene naturally stood up from the desk with a smile on her face, walked to Rode's side, and greeted him with a smile. Obviously, Ireen is also very happy about Rode's arrival. Although she also rolled the sheets with Rod, after all, the identity was here, and Marlene and Lijie could be by Rod's side. Anne was able to climb into Rod's bed anytime and anywhere. And Irene doesn't have such a good "welfare", as a dark dragon, she has to spend most of her time in the Night Kingdom. Not to mention that because of Ion's incident, the entire Night Nation was also in chaos, and Irene spent a lot of effort to appease the undead who were about to move, so there was very little time to meet with Rod. The two of them have to race against time to steal a relationship, where is the time to fall in love?
Therefore, seeing Rod suddenly appear here, Irene was naturally very happy.
"How did you come here? What happened to the front? According to Lydia, the results of the previous battles didn't seem to be good. ”
"There's been nothing wrong with this late-term period at the moment. After being repelled by us, Chaos has no intention of attacking again for the time being. So I'll come and see you..............." Rod paused slightly, and then he quickly looked Irene up and down, especially for a moment in her lower abdomen, but to Rode's relief, it didn't seem to be an unusual bulge there. It's still a smooth and graceful curve. Of course, many women are already in good shape, and it's not surprising that there are no signs of pregnancy outside of the last few months of pregnancy. If it had been before, then Rhodes might have been a little worried. Now that he learned from his sister that it would take at least thirty or fifty years for the dragon to be pregnant, he would be able to give birth to a child, and he was much more relaxed. It didn't make Irene see anything unusual, but looked her up and down for a moment before withdrawing her gaze. Then he asked casually. “……… By the way, I heard Lydia say, you've not been in good health lately? What's going on? ”
"It's just too much work, nothing to worry about, Mr. Rhodes."
In the face of Rod's inquiry, Irene was very calm, without hiding anything, and she still had a soft, calm smile on her face. A deep attachment and a happy look can be detected in the eyes. It doesn't seem like there's anything to worry about too much.
"To be honest, I was reluctant to do these jobs before, so I didn't have a problem when my brother forbade me to participate in politics. After all, these things are too troublesome, but I didn't expect it to be my turn to do these things now, it's really a bit of a headache..............."
As she spoke, Irene reached out to hold her forehead, looking rather depressed.
"If I could, I would prefer the laid-back life I used to have, so that I could follow Mr. Rhodes and you everywhere, wouldn't I? But unfortunately, it seems that I don't have such a good life. ”
"If you're tired, take a break. Look at Lydia, she has been the Grand Duke for so many years, and most of her troubles are not solved by her subordinates. You don't have to do everything yourself, just leave some things to someone you can trust........." Saying this, Rod glanced at Angelinte, who was standing respectfully next to him. "Anyway, they're different from you, they won't die of overwork, so call them to your heart's content."
In this way, Rod completely sold her in front of Angelinte.
Rod didn't notice that a strange smile flashed in Irene's eyes when he mentioned Lydia, and after Rod said this, the smile in Irene's eyes disappeared immediately, so Rod didn't notice anything wrong. In the face of Rod's words, Irene also showed a wry smile.
"I do expect to do so, Mr. Rhodes. Things are going to be worse in the Night Nation right now, though, and I've had some minor troubles lately..............."
"Knock knock."
Just as Ireen was saying this, suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hearing this knock on the door, Irene sighed helplessly, and then spoke.
"Who is it?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Cloro has come to ask for a meeting."
"Hey..............."
Hearing the maid's report, Irene sighed helplessly, and then she looked up and winked at Rod playfully.
"That's my other trouble, Mr. Rhodes, and it's a very troublesome thing to have such an admirer, right?" (To be continued......)
