Roddick held the bead, his eyes were misty, nailed to it, as if admiring a brilliant jewel, his voice was ethereal, his demeanor was eloquent, and he spoke calmly: "There is a person imprisoned in it, a fairly powerful mage, oh, a little stronger than His Highness Frank." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Hmph!" Frank replied dissatisfiedly, saying that the other party was deliberately taunting him.

Roddick ignored it, he smiled, and continued: "This mage has come from Silvermoon City, hehe, the capital of the Northlands, where His Excellency Calf, the governor of the province, is located-ah! I think you should have guessed it! There is no doubt that his identity is a messenger, a lobbyist, and his mission is to liaise, co-opt, divide, divide, surrender, and even assassinate. In other words, to give up the many small forces like me who have some influence in Crescent City, or at least to keep them from opposing them!, in other words, to abandon the support that has always been in the Ashlons. Haha!"

"After all, you didn't agree. Roch replied in a deep voice, very calm and not flustered.

The appearance of the beads is actually an indication of Roddick's choice. But Roche knew that the other party's move was a gesture of goodwill, but also a demonstration, while expressing the goodwill that I don't know how many layers remained, but also showing its own strength, influence and importance in a clever and persuasive way.

Frankly, this move was far beyond Roche's expectations, and he could not have imagined that Roddick would frankly spread out such a selfish game. This gave him a new understanding of the latter, a huge change.

Once upon a time, although they were in the same city and knew each other's names, they never had any contact. Although they are all powerful figures, one side stands in the sun, and the other side hides in the shadows, and they are naturally in a situation of opposition. At that time, Lotchi would not and did not bother to communicate with the other party, let alone understand.

In his simple understanding, he only thinks that the other party (or a series of dark forces represented by the other party) is just a vicious worm that drills in the carrion pile all day long, and it is difficult to say whether there is no influence or not, but it is also limited. And the righteous forces that you represent, if you want to, just stomp your feet, you can trample all these evil insects to death. (In terms of absolute strength, it cannot be said that no matter how powerful the underground forces are, they will not be able to shake the rulers with elite troops, and at most they will only set off a great chaos.) Now, it doesn't seem like that. At the very least, Roche realized that that the kick was not so easy to lift. And in the shadows, there are also great heroes.

"Yes, there is no agreement. Roddick nodded in confirmation, "That's because they sent this guy, he's so stupid!"

Roddick placed the beads on the coffee table and twisted them casually, causing the beads to spin uncontrollably, but they remained in place.

He pointed to the beads and playfully commented: "This man, stupid, arrogant, impulsive, fanatical, is more like a faithful disciple than a sane mage." He is absolutely not fit to be an emissary or a lobbyist! I don't know why he came and not someone else - oh, maybe he offended his superiors and was fatally framed? Alas, whatever!"

Roddick waved his hand indifferently, then swept his gaze over the three of them one by one, and said in a mysterious tone, as if a storyteller was deliberately appetizing, "Do you know what kind of stupid thing he did?"

"I want to hear about it. Ye Guyun replied.

"After Mr. Saphius' first victory, we were able to see who the three really were. Roddick smiled lazily, "No way, it's the extra attention we have to pay to strangers who are too powerful." Otherwise, it's easy to lose money!haha!"

"And rightfully so. ”

"And then, this man is going crazy," Roddick pointed to the beads again, "and he thinks this is a great opportunity, and he tries his best to get me together and ...... you all in one fell swoop," he gestured with his hand over his neck, "Kill it." ”

"Yes, great opportunity. Ye Guyun tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"That's just for them. Roddick pursed his lips disdainfully, "Heh, how can there be such a stupid fellow? Wishful thinking, whimsy, and even trying to instruct a group of new allies who have just been co-opted and have not yet established a strong relationship, to make them pay the price of the possible destruction of the foundation, to accomplish a dangerous thing that I don't know if I can accomplish." Would you do it if it were you?"

"Nope. ”

"Yes! Absolutely not! A promise that only exists in words, and wants people to die for it, who does he think he is?" Rodick suddenly raised his tone, "Not everyone is willing to pay a big price for some illusory ideas or doctrines, some people only value practical profits!"

Obviously, this sentence is for the three of them again.

Ye Guyun was not confused, he hit the nail on the head and said: "The promise he gave, even if it is vain, is extremely beautiful. You choose to refuse simply because you are not sure that you will be able to accomplish the series of things that must be done to fulfill your promise. This decision is made carefully after weighing the costs, risks, and benefits. ”

Roddick raised an eyebrow and replied, "I admire your wisdom! ”

Hearing this, Frank couldn't help but mutter, "It's so inferior! ”

Roddick gave Frank a serious look and said, "Why, guess?"

"That's because of this. ”

Ye Guyun replied calmly, and then stretched out his right hand, the five-fingered halberd was open, as if it was light and heavy, and slowly printed it on the coffee table. There was no smoke or dust, and there was no sound, only ordinary touch, according to the truth. After a few seconds, the palm of the hand was withdrawn, and on the surface of the coffee table, a neat and clear palm print several centimeters deep remained.

"This is it. Roddick had a rare look of complexity on his face, "A powerful ability that has never been seen before, and is completely different from all known ability systems......! So we can't judge your strength. ”

"And that girl is the touchstone you've chosen?"

But she failed. Oh, not the competition, but the mission as a litmus test, and she didn't test your true level - maybe there was, but we couldn't see it. I even decided that you could have won the battle against Mephis, which you could have won more easily. Ha, if Mephis knew that, she would be very angry!" Roddick laughed helplessly.

"And what we see is only a small part, and you can't imagine how ...... it is without seeing it Dream. He pointed to Ye Guyun's right hand again, "Look, the tiger's mouth is covered with calluses, this is a hand that is skilled in swords! Hey! A swordsman has already shown the strength of the legendary level with just his fists and feet, so when he holds the hilt of the sword, how can he define the level of strength?"

Roddick shook his head again and again, as if he had been greatly frightened, and he said: "Ah! It's terrible! We have to deal with such a terrifying opponent! So, do we have to weigh it again? ”

Roddick pointed to his neck.

Although there was a heavy banter in his tone, the facts he described made Hu Luo on the side break out in a cold sweat, the hillbilly he had always despised, the old hat, the rough man who didn't understand etiquette, and the barbarian who ignored the rules, turned out to be such a terrifying existence!

If...... If......

Hu Luo didn't dare to think about it.

"Thank you for sure. However, you are overestimating me. Ye Guyun said indifferently.

"Whether it is overestimated or not, this risk cannot be taken, nor is it worth taking. Roddick replied, causing Hu Luo to nod his head.

But he didn't think so. Roddick pointed to the beads again, "He thinks we should resolutely seize the opportunity, do whatever it takes, and do our best to bury you here." Ha, why do you say that he never tried to think from our point of view, and really thought that we were a force that could be completely mastered by him in a few words, and then a fluttering command could make people die for him...... Very foolish. ”

"From this moment on," Roddick tapped on the table, looking around, "I realize that he is not a man sent by His Excellency Calf. ”

The three of them were stunned.

"Oh, that's ambiguous!" Roddick gave an apologetic smile before explaining, "Heh, I'm not saying his origins are fake—he may indeed be from Silvermoon City. Well, I mean, he didn't come by Calf's will, he wasn't appointed by that person. ”

Roddick smiled brightly, "Known for his wisdom, it is rumored that a great sage who can see the truth of all the facts in the world would not have such an unqualified skill. Even if he did lack manpower at his side, he would not send an absolutely unsuitable candidate for a task that could be quite important. He would rather give up than fail predictably. ”

"Hah, that's high! Ye Guyun commented, referring to Calf's status and impression in the hearts of the world.

"Anyway, it's taller than you see and think," Roddick replied, his face solemn, "much taller." ”

"Let's continue the story, haha, this stupid act really gives me a strong desire not to vomit or be unhappy," Roddick picked up the beads, sighed, and wiped them with his sleeve, as if he were wiping jewelry, "In short, this guy's series of actions, Calf may know, but more likely not to know, simply out of his radar." And the real reason why this guy is here may be that he has offended people, or the assignor does not know anyone, or he may have done it on his own, anyway, it is impossible to test. As for the appointee, it's probably just some advisor, staff member, or general in the Doge's palace who has independent powers, and while these people can't plan every project as seamlessly as Calf did, they can always cause you a lot of trouble when they focus on something......"

Roddick shook the beads in his hand and said, "Just like this guy." ”

With his continuous guidance, even Frank, who was a little politically dull, couldn't help but be stimulated by his brain, as if he had thought of something, he guessed: "This guy is a mage, although a mid-level mage is not a scarce talent, but it is not something that can be recruited casually." You say, "The one who appoints it, will it be that...... Electorate lady?"

Roddick laughed and affirmed, "Yes, I think the same way! As far as I see, this fool, eight, no, ninety percent was sent by the Elect Lady! Cunning as a fox and unscrupulous, it is indeed her style, but she is not sophisticated enough to carry out her conspiracy. After all, she was a brilliant mage, not a true conspirator. ”

Frank pouted and said, "Cut, anyway, no matter how you calculate it, people's wrists are bigger than yours." ”

Roddick shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said with a bitter face: "Ah! hard facts are always very frustrating. However......"

"But no matter how noble the Assignor's status is, as long as it's not Calve, it doesn't make a difference to you, does it?" Rocchi interjected.

"Aha! Wise Prince!" Rodick gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Yes!

"A 'small' person like me......"

He winked mischievously at Frank again.

"I am often faced with the choice of taking sides. If you do more, you will become proficient. It is said that standing in line is a science, and I naturally dare not deny it, but I think this science is both profound and shallow, and in the final analysis, it is nothing more than moving towards higher prices and better prospects. Of course, if you want to do it well every time, it is not easy, you have to pay attention to it, you have to focus on some key points that are easy to overlook, such as sincerity - whether the party who wants you to move really needs you, which is very important and related to the future...... Alas, not much more.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as it is not from the solicitation of Lord Calf, I do not see enough sincerity to make me hesitate and think twice - oh, do you say that I am an indecisive man?

Well, besides, the side I was standing on suddenly changed dramatically, and it seemed that it was no longer the same weakness, and it began to soar upward......"

He glanced at Ye Guyun, who was still indifferent, and smiled meaningfully.

"It's better to be still than to be still, why should I be in a hurry to make a change before it's done? However, at the moment when this mission was on the verge of failure, this fool not only did not notice it and save it, but urged, ordered, forced, coerced, and coerced...... The tendon is to let me do what he wants, ignore the risks, and do it to you at any cost. Haha! You can imagine how I felt at the time! Originally, because of his identity, although I was not prepared to act according to his orders, I had no intention of cleaning him up, and Silvermoon City's face was always to be given, but then I ......"

"He's done it to you. Lotch guessed.

"yes, it did it to me. Roddick nodded, "A delicate rose with poison attached." ”

"Clever approach, but obviously not enough. Frank said.

"Confident guys don't think so. Roddick spread his hands.

"That's stupidity and arrogance. Frank said dismissively.

"Correct evaluation, I'm glad we finally have a common point of view. Roddick smiled again, with an expression that seemed to be reminiscing, "Since he is so confident, then I think it is better not to disappoint him." So, I died, as he wished. Satisfied, he cast a spell to transform into me, gave a great speech, and then pushed the door and went out. ”

"The final destination is to become this bead?"

"Yes. Isn't that the punishment he deserves? I think I'm quite magnanimous, after all, I didn't end his life. Roddick replied, and then he put on a smug expression, "How's it going? And I think my acting skills have always been very high! Professional, proper! Perhaps, there should be a place for me in the City Theater. ”

"There's a chance. Luo Qi rolled his eyes and said a casual perfunctory remark, and then he asked, "Although that guy is stupid, he is from Silvermoon City after all, and treating him in such a way is tantamount to announcing a break with the other party." While I should be happy about this from a standpoint, I am also confused by it. Are you too ...... in doing this? Are you not afraid of the strong countermeasures that the other side is likely to exert?"

"Nope. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm coming. Ye Guyun replied for him.
