Although what Rhodes said made sense, neither the king nor Horus agreed with him.
This is really too deviant.
Although under the protection of the king, this move is very likely to succeed, it is not an unforgivable sin for some obviously tainted guys to be killed by heroes with a sense of justice, not to mention that Rhodes has basically booked the Palace of Fire.
For Wangcheng, which lacks high-level combat power, it is a forgivable mistake even if it is an irreparable mistake.
But the king planned to shape Rhodes into a greater image and become a flag of the royal city, just like Alan.
This kind of stain is absolutely unacceptable.
However, Rhodes doesn't really want to become such a public figure, as he will have the baggage of being an idol.
He tried to convince them.
"King, you know, I used to be known as the King of Sewers. I killed maggots, mice and other monsters in a dirty environment every day. It was not high-end at all, and my reputation was not very good either. I used to... cough cough
, my occasional visits to Hongfang Street have become widely known, and now everyone knows that I am an old pervert... It is difficult to reverse the reputation of this person who longs for heterosexual love."
After finishing their conversation, both Wang and Horus showed kind smiles.
"Little Rod, you don't have to worry about this, they are not stains."
Wang said with a smile.
"In fact, it is your advantage, and we officially consider letting you become the flag of the royal city based on this."
Horus added: "Not everyone is suitable to be in the public eye. Among the eleven special combatants, only Alan has come to the front desk. The others are just a strong background."
Rhodes nodded, this is a fact.
Until now, he only knows the names of the first knight Alan and the moon knight Olivia. He doesn't even know the names of the other two great knight captains and the seven sons of fire.
Horus continued: "Those who can step onto the stage must be legendary enough, absolutely in line with the image of the Will of Fire, and preferably have an excellent appearance. Only in this way can they bring joy to people in the endless darkness.
Come to faith and hope."
"There is no doubt that Alan is the perfect candidate, but over the years, we have also discovered a problem. His image is too tall and distant, and he has a sense of strangeness and is not close enough to normal people."
Horus paused and continued.
"But you are different. Your growth is step by step. Although it is very fast, you still have a track to follow, and you also have amazing legendary deeds."
"The most important thing is that you have dug shit in the sewers and found women in Red Square Street. You are not a perfect symbol, but a living person with seven emotions and six desires. Many people have done what you have done.
However, this will give people a special sense of intimacy."
Wang slightly chins his head.
"Xiao Hehe is right. Alan is indeed a perfect flag, but he is so perfect that it has become a shortcoming. We need another person to make up for this shortcoming."
"The Royal City has wanted to erect a second flag for a long time, and your appearance just met all our needs."
Horus continued: "When these two flags are erected in the royal city, everyone can find a place to belong to. The perfect good man Alan, the evil bad man Rod, everyone has what they need, and everyone can
Find spiritual sustenance."
Rhodes covered his face, not knowing what to say.
"Actually, I am also a good man..."
Horus smiled and said: "Stop pretending, the nuns you dream of have been prepared for you. They will become your direct subordinates. Each nun is the best healer in the Healing Order, and is equipped with
Your favorite black silk stockings..."
Rhodes said angrily: "You are arrogant and prejudiced. Although I am a little immoral on the surface, deep down, I am a pure young man as clear as water. I still don't know what love is..." p>
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm just asking you if you want it?"
"...want."
Puchi.
The bishops on the side couldn't help laughing.
Horus also showed a strange smile, but immediately restrained it, coughed, and continued.
"I have already solved the problem of the personnel transfer of the Black Legion for you, but I would like to remind you that the transfer of Mephis is a special case. In principle, emergency armed personnel are not allowed to be transferred to other legions or battle groups."<
/p>
"But you are a Trollian hero. You have made such a great contribution to us, so I will make an exception for you. The leader of the forbidden armed forces, Laienbik, will be responsible for all her sealing issues. You don't have to worry."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Your Excellency Archbishop, I don't think Mavis is dangerous at all. Most of your predictions are wrong. They may be rumors deliberately spread by doomsday cultists."
Horus sighed.
"I hope so, but her three soul characteristics are still very dangerous after all, especially the mental control. We don't want to see avoidable tragedies happen."
"Don't worry." Rhodes said with a smile: "My mental resistance is very high, no one can control me."
Horus nodded, he knew this.
"Rhode, I must remind you that the Black Legion is your subordinate, and the value of everyone in it is to cooperate with your battle. You should not pull people into your battle group for any other purpose. If you have any needs,
You can tell the Royal City Service Department, or talk to me directly."
Horus looked into his eyes with a serious expression.
"Never mix selfish desires and personal emotions into combat-related matters. What a qualified combatant needs to consider is how to win."
Rhodes knew that the archbishop had misunderstood, and said seriously: "You can investigate the process of all the battles. Molly, Mavis, and Annabeth are all very useful to me. They can cooperate with my abilities to exert stronger
Effect."
Horus nodded.
"I'm just reminding you that after all, you are too young and have too little experience. Suddenly you are in a high position and hold great power. I am afraid that you will not be able to recognize the facts and go astray."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Rhodes said solemnly: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, please rest assured that although I look young on the outside, I am already a mature and reliable man on the inside."
Horus smiled and said: "That would be great. Let's become a third-level combatant as soon as possible. We really lack high-level combatants."
"I will."
"Also, don't give Annabeth any more soul potions."
Rhodes asked strangely: "Why?"
"I can't tell you this, as long as you don't give it to me."
Rhodes felt strange, but did not ask further. He guessed that these potions were not suitable for her and she could not take too much.
Horus added: "Becoming a flag is something in the future, but we have to start thinking about it now. Some fatal stains are absolutely not allowed to be touched, such as killing or framing companions. This is Trolian's biggest taboo.
Even just having this suspicion will make you an object of rejection."
Rhodes frowned and said, "You said those people are companions?"
Horus said solemnly: "At least on the surface, they have various high-sounding reasons to explain their actions. The evidence of the truly dangerous behavior has been wiped out. But according to our investigation, at least hundreds of people are involved.
People, including several elders."
Rhodes suddenly felt the space in front of him shake, and countless double images overwhelmed his vision. It took him several seconds to realize that the center of the vision came from the king.
Rhodes subconsciously opened the eyes of the soul and saw fluctuations in the king's soul. The special waveform represented anger.
Rhodes knew that the human soul would fluctuate in different ways with emotions, but this was the first time that he had seen a space phenomenon caused by just the movement of the soul.
This vision came and went as quickly as it came. The king's soul quickly calmed down and he said calmly.
"These people have been completely corrupted. They can't see anything except their own interests in their souls. They hide in the dark and are far more harmful to us than stronger monsters. In the war with the Fallen King's City, we
These pests are absolutely not allowed to exist in the rear."
Archbishop Horus took the words:
"Although they are now dead, they appear to be harmless to humans and animals, and extremely loyal, but it is related to Trorian's life and death, and no mistakes can be tolerated. If you don't have this opportunity, we will use thunderous means to eliminate them, but since you are here,
We can completely reduce the losses as much as possible."
Rhodes looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "What should I do now?"
The Archbishop said: "Do you still remember your position as Hand of the King?"
Rhodes nodded.
"We will make you the captain of the King's Hand and the arbiter of the Internal Affairs Judgment Office. Then, we will create a bombing attack on the palace. This is the most serious incident. As the captain of the King's Hand, you are qualified to obtain the highest investigative authority.
”
Rhodes said solemnly: "I understand, don't worry, all the people on the list will be doomsday cultists who attacked the palace and tried to murder the king."
Horus laughed and said: "What are you thinking? What we give you is the power to search and investigate anyone. You have the right to use any means to investigate the people on the list, catch them by the tail, and bring them to justice."
, it is not frame-up and revenge.”
Rhodes was very disappointed.
You are not ruthless at all. Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. At this time, being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.
He agreed on the surface, but in his heart he had already made up his mind to kill all those maggots even if there was no evidence, so as not to disgust people again.
For Rhodes, the most disgusting thing in the world is that you are fighting bloody battles on the front line, but there are villains stabbing you in the back.
What's worse is that one of the people you are trying to protect includes them.
They eat your human blood steamed buns happily, while you lie on the cold ground and watch your own blood drowning your sight. This is the greatest sorrow in the world.
Rhodes is not that open-minded. He is very stingy and will never allow this kind of thing to happen.
These guys must be killed.
The conversation ended quickly, and then the king held a grand meeting in his palace.
Many important figures in the royal city attended, and all members of the royal guard were present.
The king announced Rhodes' achievements at the assembly and promoted him to captain of the King's Hand.
No one had any objections, and every member of the King's Guard cheered for the birth of the new captain.
Lucien, the director-general of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, also attended the rally.
He inadvertently announced that he would be promoting the position of Rhodes Investigator to Adjudicator.
This appointment did not cause any disturbance. Rhodes had been named in the Internal Affairs Adjudication Chamber for a long time, and the adjudicator was not a high-ranking position.
In this way, the first half of the plan has been completed, and then the palace will be attacked by "doomsday cultists".
Of course, we don’t just have to wait and see during this period.
In fact, a pest removal plan is just one of countless important things.
During the period when the royal city is about to transform into an expansion wartime system, there are countless things that need to be prepared.
In the Supreme Council, the king and the group of elders finally reached a consensus after several days of deliberations.
The elders made a lot of concessions and even agreed that the king would have complete control over the war. The elders would not interfere unless necessary.
In this way, even if there is some unreasonable expansion, the elders cannot stop it.
The reason why the Elders Council has been able to achieve this is that the Fanxing Town expansion experience shared by Rhodes during the meeting played a decisive role.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Rhodes' increase in the output share of the true silver vein from 20% to 30%.
Although the elders regard money as dirt, their sons, grandchildren, daughters and relatives still have to make ends meet.
Café de Coral is the real joy.
Although this would make the already expensive real silver veins completely unprofitable, and would even result in losses.
But Rhodes doesn't care. He also has full ownership of the Star Ruby Mine and the Super Large Copper-Iron Mine, which are enough to support the development of Fanxing Town.
Fanxing Town is currently managed by Molly on his behalf. This female deputy with outstanding abilities can handle all matters, so don't worry.
As soon as the negotiations ended, Wang Cheng officially began to turn around.
Everyone is busy, including Rhodes.
Although the attack has not yet occurred, and he does not have the authority to conduct in-depth investigations into the senior officials of the royal city, it is not difficult to make some preparations.
After Rhodes became the captain of King's Hand, he was already one of the senior staff of King City.
The King's Guards are responsible for guarding the Holy Fire Sacrifice and the Royal Palace, and their authority is quite high.
As a captain-level figure, Rhodes has considerable power. The entire royal city is unobstructed for him. He will not be blocked no matter where he goes. Everyone who sees him respects him.<
/p>
The remaining six justices came to him in person to apologize, saying that they were not familiar with Gregor and the other four justices at all.
These four people had evil intentions at first sight, and they never bothered to associate with them. The great and just Lord Rhodes killed him so well that they applauded with both hands.
Rhodes didn't care and dismissed them casually.
As for whether they are guilty or not, it depends on the results of future investigations.
With these six justices at the beginning, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit.
Rhodes greeted them with a smile and wrote them down on the list one by one, preparing to check them later.
Outside of work, Rhodes’ spiritual practice has not fallen behind.
Although spiritual energy will naturally move towards a state of coordination between spirit and body after reaching level 8, active adjustment can ensure the best effect.
This is a very important thing, related to his future growth.
Of course, the core of his real growth lies in dreams.
The dream state during this period was particularly peaceful. The book of knowledge ate and slept all day long, and he had less time to talk about it.
Rhodes was even a little uncomfortable with it, but he also knew that it was trying to restore its soul, so he didn't bother him. He also specially piled the souls in the storage area on the outer layer to make it easier for it to eat.
Now that Rhodes's spirituality has exceeded 100,000, it is impossible to finish the Book of Knowledge no matter how much he eats.
This book of knowledge makes me angry to death.
It originally wanted to secretly eat up all of Rhode's souls to retaliate for his indiscriminate behavior, but it didn't expect that this guy actually gave it a pile of souls to eat. It couldn't finish it, so revenge became a joke.
What makes it even more angry is that its soul recovers very slowly. Many memories cannot be retrieved, and it cannot remember where the fragments of the dream are scattered.
No new fragments have been found in Dreamland for a long time, and the road to recovery is far away.
This makes the Book of Knowledge very worried.
The only way now is to prepare as soon as possible. If powerful spiritual monsters can be hunted efficiently and Rhodes' strength can grow rapidly, the possibility of him coming into contact with dream fragments will be greater.
There is no other way. Currently we can only use this method of looking for a needle in a haystack to find the fragments.
Rhodes is already making dream creations at the fastest speed. After Mephis obtained a large workshop and many assistants, his efficiency has been greatly improved, and he can provide a large amount of materials every day.
However, it also takes time to make items on the stone platform.
Although it works around the clock, it cannot meet Rod's needs.
It seems that it will take some time to start a hunting trip in the spirit world.
Therefore, Rhodes can only coordinate his spirit and body every day, exercise the [Star Shuttle], and take time to learn advanced combat skills.
In addition, during this period, Rhodes also finished writing "Rhodes' Electricity" and handed it over to Mina and her teacher Amides.
Mina was very shameless in appropriating and naming the knowledge in ancient classics, but she was also extremely fascinated by the systematic knowledge in electricity. In the process of studying Rhodes classics, many doubts were suddenly revealed.
, integrating many pieces of knowledge, she was suddenly immersed in the study of thunder and lightning, so that there was always lightning and thunder in her laboratory.
Amides indulged his disciples and even went to battle in person to swim in the ocean of thunder and lightning.
But a great scholar is a great scholar after all. He quickly understood Rhodes's book on electricity, which was not too complicated, and vaguely felt that it was a complete system and that there was more and greater knowledge on top of it. p>
Amides quickly returned to the Royal City and invited Rhodes as a guest on behalf of the highest society in the Royal City - the Jinworth Society.
Rhodes naturally had no reason to refuse.
In fact, he has long wanted to get in touch with the most advanced knowledge representatives in Trorian to understand what the knowledge system developed by humans in such an environment looks like.
The two parties quickly agreed on a time, the tenth day of October.
This is a special day. It is the legendary beginning of chaos and the birth of the world. It is also the date when the great life priest Roport successfully hybridized the first meat clam.
The meeting of knowledge on this special day has extraordinary special significance, embodying the good wishes of both parties to use knowledge to save the world.
Not only the Jinworth Society, the White Tower also invited Rhodes, Jinworth Academy, the secret branch, and the Hunter Group also followed suit, inviting Rhodes to come back often.
Rhodes set a date with them one by one.
He now seems to be a busy man. He is extremely tired every day. Occasionally, when Molly comes back from Fanxing Town, he is even more overworked.
Although she did not need to make a special trip to come back, and she could communicate using the Spirit Crow Messenger, Molly believed that if she did not come back, Rhodes' mind would be filled with women again, which would affect his efficiency.
For the sake of the future of all mankind, she had no choice but to sacrifice.
In this way, the days passed day by day.
Everyone is fully preparing for the upcoming war, but what is different from the past is that this time, everyone has enthusiastic expectations. The emergence of Fanxing Town has greatly eased their survival pressure and improved their living conditions. Everyone is eager to get more living space.
There is also the more powerful Trorian Kingdom.
The same goes for Rhodes.
Without a prosperous world, how could he enjoy this prosperous happiness with peace of mind?
