The next morning, Rhodes enjoyed the first benefit.
The envoy from the Elders Group arrived at Fanxing Town and presented the candidate elder's robe, contract, salary and materials with both hands.
The additional weekly salary of an alternate elder is ten thousand silver cords.
Coupled with Rhodes' previous salary, his personal weekly income has reached as high as 20,000 silver ropes. If calculated based on the longest month, his monthly salary has reached as high as 180,000 silver ropes, and his annual salary has exceeded 146,000 silver ropes.
Wan.
The candidate elder's robe is a piece of spiritual equipment that can nourish the soul and restore spiritual energy.
The contract of an alternate elder is a symbol of his status, which means that he can participate in elder meetings, council meetings and other important meetings in the royal city, and has half the right to vote, counting as half a person.
The distribution of supplies to the alternate elders is the highlight.
In addition to a large amount of hematin, spiritual tree dew, elf grass juice and other conventional medicines, the supplies also include precious life medicines.
Generally speaking, normal people will need to take various spiritual potions from the second semester of entering Jinworth College to strengthen spiritual energy, improve characteristics, ignite fire, enhance physical fitness, etc.
These spiritual potions are generally based on mercury potion, green mold potion, and mandrake root potion, and are suitable for all kinds of people.
They need to digest potions during long periods of exercise and meditation to gain growth in spiritual energy, characteristics, and fire.
Even for a secret branch that uses combat as its core training method, these potions are indispensable.
Rhodes is the only exception.
All medicines have no effect on him.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he placed all these potions in his dream, or secretly sold some, or gave them as gifts to others.
But he didn't take out some very precious medicines.
Ordinary potions are reasonable, but if these precious potions are taken out, it will be difficult to explain.
Rhodes still has the green herbs and holy white tree fruits that he once obtained. They have been placed at the bottom of the storage for a long time.
If he hadn't obtained the precious life potion again, he would have almost forgotten it.
Rhodes suddenly had an idea. In his current capacity, giving some precious potions to relatives and friends would not be particularly suspicious, right?
Life potions and green herbal potions are precious potions that enhance spiritual energy.
The fruit of the Holy White Tree can clarify the soul, strengthen the trajectory of the soul, and enhance fire.
So, who should I give it to?
While Rhodes was thinking about this issue, Molly came to report to him on the mining situation of the Sun Crystal Mine.
Wang Cheng's movements are very fast.
As soon as Elder Palos and Guardian Churchel left, their team immediately entered the mine.
The officials set up the Fanxing Town Sun Crystal Mine Management Department on the spot, and the prospectors directly transformed into miners to mine.
The second group of workers rushed over three hours later, and the mine resumed work that night.
According to its manager, the mine in Fanxing Town can produce thirty solar crystals every day.
According to the agreement, three copies will be left in Fanxing Town.
Molly thinks this is a very good opportunity. They can formulate a complete system to standardize the use of these three sun crystals.
"We can establish a complete reward and punishment mechanism instead of using simple silver ropes and trophies as rewards for those pioneers who are willing to come to us. This can strengthen the team of Fanxing Town and attract more fire bearers to come here.
..."
"We can also use it to train our own team. Your Black War Group can be carefully taken care of..."
Molly suddenly closed her mouth.
Rhodes yawned: "Keep talking."
"Don't touch my legs."
Rhodes put down his hand and said with a dry smile: "I'm used to it... I'm used to it."
Molly looked at him seriously: "If you have needs, I can satisfy you, but when talking about business, I hope you can be more serious."
Rhodes stretched lazily and put his hand back on the black silk stockings.
"Molly, you can be responsible for these things. There is no difference at all between the Black War Group and the defense system of Fanxing Town. I am paying the money. Aren't these all my men? You can just do whatever you want.
."
Molly ignored his movable hands and said seriously: "It's not the same. The Black Battle Group is your battle group, and the Fanxing Town Defense Department is the defense system of Fanxing Town. They are combatants belonging to Fanxing Town."
, when you continue to take a step up in the future, they will not follow you away, but the Black War Group is different, no matter where you go, they will be your subordinates."
While enjoying the smooth and round feel, Rhodes asked curiously: "Is this the practice in the royal city? Does every high-level combatant have a battle group that belongs to them?"
Molly raised her thighs, folded them together, and clamped his hand.
"No, only some people have their own battle groups, such as Lord Theodore's Conjuring Guards, the Sun Knights of the Sun Knights, and the Moonlight Knights of Olivia, the Knight of the Moon."
Rod whipped a few times but couldn't pull out. Molly's thighs were very strong and they were clamped tightly, so she had to scratch her head with her other hand.
"Let's do this, you go sort out the Black War Group and carefully select the right personnel. The Sun Crystal will be used by Fanxing Town first, and you will work out the specific reward mechanism. When the Black War Group has formed a combat effectiveness, you can move some of it over.
”
Molly nodded: "Okay."
There was a moment of silence.
"Hey...you can let go."
Molly glanced at him, showing no intention of letting go.
Rhodes wanted to force it out. His psychic level was one level higher than Molly's, so he could do it.
But he is afraid of tearing the black silk threads of the wind. This is a rare and rare piece of equipment. It also has self-purification ability and does not need to be washed. It is a function specially created for him by Archbishop Horus considering the long-term combat environment.
.
Rhodes scratched his head, feeling that maybe he touched too much. Molly got angry, so she closed her eyes and instantly entered the dreamland, taking out the precious life potion.
"Here, this is for you."
Molly's expression flashed. She took the pure white potion and looked at it carefully.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"This is a life potion... one of the most advanced psychic potions. Why did you give it to me? You are the one who needs to grow most."
Rhodes smiled and said: "I drank too much, and my soul couldn't bear it. And your puppet control characteristics require special spiritual energy, and driving the black thread of wind consumes a lot of money."
"I have also learned that if your characteristics grow to the end, you can not only greatly strengthen the possessed person, but also directly control the actions of the monster. Therefore, this potion is very suitable for you."
Molly fell silent, her delicate face still showing a serious and indifferent expression, as if she was indifferent.
But her actions are completely opposite to her expression.
Molly leaned over and kissed his cheek gently.
The fragrance hit his face, and Rhodes was surprised: "Wow, is there such a benefit? Your lips are so wet... Uh, can you let go?"
Molly's serious expression remained unchanged, she pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses and spoke in a tone of educating students.
"You can slide in a little bit."
Rhodes looked at her in surprise: "Is this appropriate? Don't forget that I am..."
Molly said calmly: "I am willing, it's suitable."
Maybe, something good will happen here today, but a super fat man broke the newly heated atmosphere.
"Lord Rhodes, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Your energy and blood are still so rosy."
An extremely loud voice came from outside the hall.
Maihara's fat figure squeezed in through the door, trying his best to show a kind appearance with his fat face.
Molly turned into a cloud of mist almost instantly and hid in Rhodes' body, without even a trace being exposed.
Rhodes coughed.
"It's Mr. Maihara."
Maihara walked up with a smile on his face and hugged Rhodes hard, almost squeezing him into his flesh.
"Sir Rhodes, please allow me to give you a hug that we will never forget to commemorate our first official meeting."
Molly's mist silently transferred from Rod's body to Maihara's body, then flew out from behind him and returned to human form.
She walked away gently, walked back heavily, and said solemnly.
"Mr. Mehra."
"I must remind you that Lord Rhodes is now an alternate elder. According to the rules of audience in the royal city, you should half-kneel to salute him and kiss his fingertips."
Maihara let go of Rhodes who was about to suffocate, and deliberately said in a tone of surprise that he had just learned the news: "Wow! Lord Rhodes has been promoted to an alternate elder. He really has a bright future, and he is a young hero..."
Molly looked at him with serious eyes and said nothing.
Maihara laughed dryly and reached out to kiss the back of her hand.
"Miss Molly, we are old acquaintances..."
Molly ignored his action and said in a tone that could not be refused: "According to the rules of the royal city, I am the chief assistant to the alternate elder and the district-level consul. You must half kneel before you can salute me."
Maihara was startled, but as he rolled his eyes, he suddenly thought of something. He immediately knelt down and lowered his head and said, "I have an audience with Miss Molly. May your beauty and intelligence last forever like fire."
Molly raised her smooth and delicate hands.
Maihara's huge lips kissed the back of the hand, as if he wanted to eat it.
Then, Maihara turned around, saluted Rhodes, firmly held his right hand and kissed his fingertips.
This action is quite difficult because his mouth is bigger than Rhodes' entire palm.
Rhodes felt as if he had been bitten by a troll. He immediately retracted his hand and wiped his back calmly.
Maihara stood up, smiled mysteriously at Rhodes, and said, "Sir Rhodes, is it convenient for you to talk to me now?"
Rhodes snorted in his heart, thinking to himself that it is convenient now even if it is inconvenient.
"Say it."
Maihara coughed.
Rhodes immediately understood and said with a smile: "Molly is one of our own, you can say whatever you want."
With an expression that was indeed true, Maihara cleared his throat, his expression became serious, and said: "I don't know if you know, but the king has been living in seclusion for more than a month."
Rhodes frowned, as if he had heard Horus talk about this.
"I know."
Maihara continued: "Outsiders say that Wang is addicted to women and is deceived by Lilith, but from my point of view, this is unlikely. Wang's wisdom is beyond imagination. He loves his wife Ao Fu deeply.
During her lifetime, the king never had another partner, and when she passed away, the king never forgot her."
Rhodes was surprised: "How do you know?"
Maihara smiled slightly, and the fat on his face kept trembling.
"Giant merchants have borrowed several unknown commissions to carve fairy flowers out of complete star rubies. This is a very difficult task. Star rubies are very hard but brittle. They are usually ground into powder and used only.
Only giant businessmen have the channels to do it."
"The deadline for the commission is the death date of the royal wife Ao Fu."
"Later I found out that the Star Ruby is Off's favorite gemstone, and the Elf Flower is Off's favorite flower."
"From this, I conclude that this is an order from the palace. The king's affection has never changed. Lilith has not mastered any evil pink characteristics at all. She is just a cover. There are other reasons why Wang can't leave."
You are right, but the reason is something you would never expect... Rhodes sighed softly: "What do you want to say?"
Maihara said solemnly: "Sir Rhodes, to put it bluntly, you are a pawn in the game between the king and the elders. The king is your backer. But now that the king is unable to leave, the supreme council is completely controlled by
The elders are in control.”
Rhodes was surprised and said: "Aren't there four tallest people in the royal city? Where are the Archbishop Horus and the First Defense Chief Lin?"
Maihara shook his head: "In fact, there are only two, the king, and the group of elders headed by the first elder Armando. The authority gap between Horus and Dalin is too big. Without the authority of the king, the other two cannot
Influence the resolutions of the Supreme Council."
Rhodes said hesitantly: "Aren't there still you guys?"
Maihara smiled and said: "Sir Rhodes, you are really smart, but only some of the elders have received salary from us. The only things we can influence are matters related to the silver cord. Things that cannot be purchased with the silver cord, we will
It can’t be affected.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
He paused and his voice became deeper.
"Don't look at us as we are glorious and omnipotent, but without Yinsuo, we are nothing."
"There are too many things in the royal city that cannot be purchased with a silver cord. Our freedom is restricted, and our wealth may be confiscated at any time due to a crisis ban."
"We desperately want to change this situation, but there is no chance. The system of the Royal City has been passed down for more than 1,300 years, and most people's minds have become rigid and solidified."
Maihara's little eyes stared at Rhodes firmly, with an unknown light shining inside.
"But we see a difference in you."
"Your thinking is so unique, your understanding of Yinsuo is so profound, your young soul is not bound by tradition, and the wisdom it bursts out is so dazzling that we can't help but be dazzled.
Mysterious."
Maihara held Rod's hand excitedly.
"So, I firmly believe that you can definitely bring changes to us, and we will try our best to help you overcome the difficulties and successfully reach a high position."
Rhode's brows knitted together as he heard this. He completely understood what this big fat man was talking about.
"Mr. Mehra."
He reminded: "It is impossible for me to become a king. I must have the characteristics of eternal fire and resonate with the holy fire to be qualified as a king."
The name of this characteristic is very close to the state and potential of stars, which makes Rhodes wonder whether the essence of stars is also fire.
On the wedding day, the idea of whether Miss Qingyu will resonate with the fire in his soul when they merge together also comes up from time to time.
Mehalla smiled and said: "You are joking, of course we know this, but Trolian has a tradition of regents for the king's husband or his wife since ancient times."
"If the king is not good at political affairs, they will marry a capable king's husband or wife as the main partner to manage the affairs."
"And Miss Qingyu seems to be addicted to pleasure. Her number of intended partners has expanded to more than 600. And you look majestic and powerful at first glance, and you will definitely be able to conquer Miss Qingyu and become the king's main companion.
Political affairs in Prince Regent City."
"At that time, your ideas will surely become the king's consciousness, and your superb wisdom will lead Trorian to a new stage."
"Our good days are coming."
Rhodes covered his forehead. He had to say that Maihara had a really vicious vision, and he could tell at a glance that the logic underlying his behavior was extraordinary.
This person only regards him as a savior due to limited knowledge.
His actions were indeed very decisive. As soon as he saw signs of success, he immediately came over to place a bet.
And this is a heavy bet.
Rhodes sighed: "Mr. Maihara, I am very direct, what are you willing to pay?"
Maihara immediately replied: "Everything we can provide, I personally am willing to use all my wealth on this."
"So, what's the price?"
A shrewd light flashed in Maihara's little eyes.
"If you can become the regent's husband, I hope you can push for a law to price everything in Trolian with a silver cord and allow free buying and selling."
Rhodes sighed: "This is really the progress of the times."
A sincere smile immediately appeared on Maihara's fat face.
He bowed his huge waist with difficulty.
"This is the wisest language I have ever heard. You are definitely the right choice for us."
Rhodes smiled and agreed without much hesitation.
After all, it is always a good thing to have more support at this time.
As for the future, if one day the world returns to the embrace of light, he would not mind pushing it.
Otherwise, it's better to avoid it. This group of people are not aware of a huge problem in their dreams.
Silver cord has national boundaries and is not universal among monsters.
Therefore, Maihara's dream must be in vain.
As for the Fire Oath he made in front of Maihara, Rhodes didn't take it to heart at all.
But Maihara is extremely relieved.
In Trorian, except for doomsday cultists, no one will intentionally violate the oath of fire.
Losing the protection of fire is a very scary thing.
Since then, Rhodes and the giant merchants of Maihara have formally formed an alliance.
They will provide all the materials Rhodes needs at cost price and provide all possible help to Fanxing Town.
Maihara even whispered to Rod that he could bring him a team of professional maids who would provide the best service to make his life extremely comfortable and beautiful.
Just when Rhodes was about to agree, he saw Molly's cold eyes and had to decline.
Maihara didn't care either. He bid farewell to Rhodes with great satisfaction and gave him a psychic communication device so that they could communicate quickly at any time.
The talks were a complete success.
Accompanied by his guards, Maihara quickly returned to the royal city in his special car.
He is just an ordinary Spark Sequence Fire Holder, unwilling to stay in any dangerous place.
After Mehra left, the hall became quiet again.
Molly suddenly said: "If you want to agree, just agree. I have no objection."
Rhodes said righteously: "Do you think I look like that kind of person?"
"Like."
"...You are slandering. Do you know that you are slandering?"
Molly said calmly: "Lord Rhodes, I once told you that knowing how to enjoy is not a bad thing. Trorian has always respected the strong. I will agree to anything you want to do, but now there are many things, everything
It's still very unstable. I'm afraid that you will indulge in pleasure, delay business, and damage future interests."
"So, let me do these things."
Rhodes scratched his head. Molly was not bad, but her expression was too serious, like the head teacher, and she was particularly uninteresting.
"Smile."
Molly looked on expressionlessly, her stern eyes like looking at a student who made a mistake.
"Forget it, forget it..."
After a few casual jokes, Rhodes turned around and got back to business.
Rhodes knew about the strange movement of the Holy Fire before setting off, but he didn't expect that it hasn't ended yet.
No wonder the elders are so arrogant.
After much deliberation, he cannot solve this matter now. The abnormal movement of the Holy Fire comes from its weak foundation. The power of the Holy Fire has far exceeded its limit. Its source law cannot carry this power. It must be found.
Only the fire of another guardian fire can solidify the foundation and make the holy fire stable.
The Holy Fire Project is here for this purpose.
Developing Fanxing Town is a prerequisite for the Holy Fire Plan.
Only with absolute victory can the fundamental strategy of the royal city be transformed into expansion, and they can go all the way west to reach the former royal city of the Kingdom of Stars and seize the sacred fire seed that has been extinguished for fifteen hundred years.
Lot wrote a long letter to Archbishop Horus.
He detailed the current situation in the letter and asked the king when he would stabilize the Holy Fire and return to the royal city to support him.
After sending the letter using Spirit Crow Messenger, another happy event came.
