Chapter Ninety-Seven: South Springs Manor
Back to the guild.
Li Ling gave the S-level giant mountain shield directly to Meng Tie, and the other party was so excited that he almost cried bitterly, and he had to hold Li Ling for a long time and was unwilling to let go.
Li Ling, who was speechless and pushed away Meng Tie, just returned to the office when he saw a young woman guarding the door of his office.
"President?!"
Seeing Li Ling, the woman exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "President, I have something to report to you." ”
Glancing at the other party's young and nervous face, Li Ling smiled, I don't know when he started, he also became a character who was awe-inspiring and fearful.
"I remember you're a new member recruited by Lady Smoke, right?" Li Ling walked into the office and asked casually.
"Ah yes, yes, I only joined the guild this week." When the woman heard this, she hurriedly replied, "Lord Yan asked me to be responsible for cooperating with your daily work in the guild, and you can call me Xiaoling, president." ”
Li Ling sat down and nodded slightly.
During this time, he has been improving his strength and has not taken care of the specific affairs of the guild, but the rapid expansion of the guild has made the internal management work several times more difficult.
Recently, every time Li Ling saw Mrs. Yan, Michelle and others, the other party was basically tired.
It's time for some of the new members to share their workload.
Thinking about it, Li Ling tried to make himself appear kind and gentle in front of the newcomer, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that he thought was friendly.
And Xiao Ling saw that Li Ling suddenly stared at her skin and didn't smile, her hair suddenly stood on end, and a cold sweat broke out on her back, so she hurriedly bowed her head in panic and said: "Hui, president, did your subordinates do something wrong, please say it directly!" ”
Li Ling: "........."
The success of the other party's reaction made Li Ling lose interest in showing affinity, and simply turned back to an indifferent face, and said calmly: "Don't be nervous, tell me what you have to do first?" ”
"Huh? Oh! Good, okay. ”
Seeing Li Ling turn back to a cold look, Xiao Ling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: This is the normal appearance of the president, the smile just now is really terrible.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ling handed over the recent guild affairs sorting report to Li Ling, and said respectfully: "President, the guild association sent someone to look for you just now. ”
"Guild associations?" Li Ling raised his eyebrows slightly: "President Brent? ”
"It's not." Xiao Ling shook her head: "It was sent by Vice President Rod." ”
Rod?!!
When the words fell, Li Ling's pupils suddenly shook!
Is this guy Rhodes finally starting to deal with me......
I just don't know if he's clear... Anthony was killed by me......
Thinking about it, his face grew serious.
The day after tomorrow is when the entrance to Moon Island opens, I don't know if Rhodes is looking for me at this time...... Does it have anything to do with the trip to Moon Island?
After all, this guy has already determined that he has some kind of connection with the Svada forces......
"President?"
Seeing Li Ling's majestic expression, Xiao Ling subconsciously felt a little nervous, and whispered: "President, the people of the association have left a message for you." ”
Li Ling's eyes narrowed slightly: "What words?" ”
"I was worried that I had missed the memory, so I wrote down his words." Xiao Ling hurriedly took out a small notebook and read it carefully: "He said that President Rhodes greatly appreciates your abilities and hopes to have dinner together in the Chengxi Quanquan Manor." ”
As she spoke, she immediately said again: "By the way, he also specially explained...... The manor is clean and not crowded, so please go alone. ”
"You want me to go alone to a manor I've never heard of?"
Li Ling sneered slightly: "This Rhodes seems to be going to have a Hongmen banquet." ”
If it weren't for Anthony's mouth to learn that Rod had a problem, I'm afraid I really didn't know what medicine was sold in this Rod gourd this time.
Immediately, he waved his hand and said, "Go and call Meng Tie, Shadow, and Potter." ”
……
……
Twilight.
Suburb South Springs Manor.
A table of exquisite dishes is set on a long table in the hall.
Rod, a tall and thin man in a black suit, was sitting on the main seat, his hands crossed, and his face was gloomy.
"Is it necessary to make such trouble?" The woman with glasses on the side said nonchalantly: "It's just a new guild, even if it's S-level, you just find a reason for him not to go to Moon Island, why do you have to do this?" ”
"You think I want to do this?" Rod glanced at the other party coldly: "Brent admires that kid very much, if I inexplicably propose not to allow the Phoenix Guild to participate in the trip to Moon Island, it will definitely arouse Brent's suspicions." ”
"So you chose to kill him?" The woman with glasses chuckled: "Isn't this more likely to arouse Brent's suspicions?" ”
"Don't worry, this manor has set up a magic array, even if the sky here falls, the outside world will not know."
Rod said indifferently: "As long as Li Ling dies here, I naturally have a way to clear my suspicions." ”
"Hey, you're really listening to that guy Cecil." The woman in glasses looked in the small mirror and said while applying lipstick: "He asked you to deal with the Phoenix Guild, you just do what he said, and you, the vice president of the association, are too aggrieved." ”
"It's not about Cecil!" Rod gritted his teeth and said, "It's that if the Moon Island mission is not successful, no one can afford this responsibility!" ”
He stared at the woman in glasses and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that the trip to Moon Island is foolproof, the discovery of the potion and the disappearance of Anthony all mean that someone is sabotaging our plan behind it!" ”
"Someone sabotage?" The woman in glasses raised her eyebrows: "You mean Li Ling of this Phoenix Guild?" ”
"Although there is no evidence to determine that it is this guy." Rod said coldly: "But there is definitely something wrong with this person!" ”
"Anyway, since Cecil thinks that this person's entry into Moon Island will bring risks to his mission, let's help him solve this trouble first, so as not to be sued by this guy again and say that I didn't do anything."
After listening to Rod's words, the woman with glasses took back her cosmetics and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll cooperate with you anyway." ”
"A guild leader who has just been promoted to the S rank, it is estimated that his strength is around level 30." The woman with glasses stood up and walked to the side room: "With your arrangement, even if there is another level 30 one, you will have to die here." Okay, I'll go to the lake first. ”
When Rod saw the woman leaving, his expression was indifferent and he didn't speak again.
And one of his subordinates just walked into the hall quickly and whispered to Rod: "My lord, Li Ling is here." ”
"Coming?!" Rod's eyes narrowed, and he immediately asked, "How many people are here?" ”
"Just one." The subordinate replied.
"One?"
Rod's eyes rolled slightly, he thought for a moment, and then sneered: "I don't know if this kid is too stupid or too conceited." I really dare to come alone. ”
Immediately, he waved his hand and said coldly, "Let him in." ”
……
Outside the manor, Li Ling walked in under the guidance of the other party.
As soon as he entered the manor, the voice of the clown Gregottic appeared next to Li Ling's ears: "King, this manor... Call... There's a magic circle... Call... of the breath. ”
Hearing the chaotic voice of Gregoth from the Black Stone Space, Li Ling frowned: "Why is your voice so noisy?" Something went wrong in the Blackstone space. ”
"It's all right......," Gregot said helplessly, "it's Felix's snoring." ”
Li Ling: "........."
"President Lee, please come in, Lord Rhodes is waiting for you inside."
At this time, the person leading the way stopped, bent down slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal Li Ling to enter the room.
And Li Ling looked up at the door, his expression was cold, and he stepped in.
At the moment of entering, Felix, who was sleeping soundly in the blackstone space, suddenly moved his face slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
And Gregot, who was leaning on the side and clasping his arms around his chest, looked at the other party, squinted his eyes and said coldly: "You also feel the room that the king entered...... Something is wrong. ”
