Chapter 574: It's Not That Easy
Athena's words shocked Rocky!
Could it be that behind this matter, there is also a part of the Sky Alliance?
If that's the case, you're in big trouble!
So after that, Rocky couldn't help but look at Athena, and stared at her with a pair of eyes for a long time before he had to ask, "Athena, do you think this is really the case...... What should I do?"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Rocky had to start asking Athena for advice, because he had a ghost in his heart! He knew very well that he didn't plan to share all the secrets of the runes with the Sky Alliance, so he naturally had to worry about whether the Alliance might take action against him after discovering this.
"My lord, don't be in such a hurry. ”
However, in the face of his worries, Athena became unhurried.
Before that, it was she who warned Rocky of the possible troubles, but when Rocky realized her situation, she became unhurried, and only listened to him and then said: "Everything we say now is just speculation, and I can't make any conclusions, maybe it's just that we are thinking too much?" ”
"Wait for things to continue to develop?"
Hearing this, Rocky was stunned for a moment, because this answer was too far from what he expected!
Indeed, what they just said and thought was just speculation, no, it should be said that it was random speculation, maybe it was indeed as Athena said, it may be that they were thinking too much, and the matter of Zuro was just another outrageous act of the children.
But what if not?
Even if there is only a 1% chance that someone is behind the scenes, Rocky can't afford to pay the price!
After being a city lord for so many years, Rocky has long become very mature, and he knows very well what kind of things he can take on and what kind of things he will never be able to do.
This is the reason why he has always been cautious about rune matters, because nothing related to runes can be borne by him, a little city lord.
In this case, where can he wait!
"My lord, let's take care of the present. ”
Perhaps he saw Rocky's urgency, so Athena took the initiative to say without waiting for him to speak: "My lord, let's assume that someone is behind the ghost, and the other party's purpose is the technology mastered by the adult, then I think our top priority is not to let the other party succeed easily, this is the most important thing." ”
“............”
Hearing this, Rocky glanced at Athena and found that she was still the same as usual, looking very calm, as if it was none of her business, but what she said made a lot of sense, no matter whether someone was behind the scenes, Rocky should now protect the rune technology in his hand, this is the top priority.
At the same time, we must not forget Zu Luo, no matter whether there is a deeper conspiracy in the conflict caused by Zu Luo today, Rocky has finally arrested him, which means that he has formed a bond with the forces of Tianzu City represented by Zu Luo, and this matter is also something he must deal with.
So after that, Lodge went straight back to the institute and met with Anier and the others.
Due to the arrest of Zuro, the ball ended early, so when he arrived at the institute, Aniye and the others had not yet slept, and they all happened to be gathered together.
After calling Arnier and the other four, Rocky told what happened today, as well as his own and Athena's guesses, he didn't need to hide anything from the four of Agnier and Orton, not only that, he needed the four of them to help him figure out a way.
After hearing everything he had to say, the four fell silent, and it was not until a few moments later that Agnier was the first to speak.
"Athena, this girl, is really smart. As he spoke, he looked at Rocky: "This girl is right, the best thing to do now is to wait and see." ”
"That's right. After Aniye's words were finished, Proya also nodded on the side: "If we are too suspicious at this time, it will be tantamount to messing with ourselves, and when the time comes, it will create an opportunity for those who have a heart to take advantage of." ”
"Hmph, you say that I don't understand, but I can't manage other people's affairs, and we can always manage our own affairs. ”
At this time, Orton also spoke, and saw him with a puffed face:
"I don't know if someone is making trouble behind our backs, but if we want to steal rune technology from a few of our old guys, we won't agree, although we are old, we are not old enough to be useful!"
As he spoke, he waved his fist angrily, and as his fist danced, bursts of magic power emerged, following his fist to sway in midair, while Hammer Fire nodded his head again and again, also showing an angry expression.
Obviously, they may not be good at intrigue, but if someone wants to steal their R&D results, then Orton and Hammerfire will never agree, that is the result of years of hard research and development, and even at the age of several of them, this may be the last and greatest R&D in their lives, how can it be easily stolen by others?
What's more, Orton and the others do have the capital to say this, because although their identities are all masters in the academic field, don't forget that among the four of them, except for Hammer Fire, they are all rare archmages in the world, and Hammer Fire may not be proficient in magic as a dwarf, but in terms of the age of the dwarf, he is in the prime of life, and not everyone can stop a hammer, so it is not easy to steal the research results under their eyes.
Besides, Orton and the others are not stupid, they know very well that before Rocky officially announced the rune to the public, the existence of the rune is still a secret, so even if a research team is formed and a research and development team is established, the core part of the rune, especially the part they have newly developed in recent years, has always been firmly in the hands of the four and Rocky, and outsiders cannot reach it at all.
Hearing the four of them say this, Rocky's heart also relaxed, the thing he was most afraid of was that the technology was stolen by someone, because as long as the rune technology could be held in his hands, then no matter what happened, even if he turned against the Sky Alliance, he still had a way out, but if he lost the rune technology, then he really didn't have any capital.
Fortunately, at least for now, it seems that rune technology is not in danger, and after his reminder, Arnier and Orton and the others will be more careful than before, which also makes Rocky feel a lot more at ease.
With this done, Rocky returned to his City Lord's Mansion, and then used one night to organize his thoughts.
