For a moment, Rhodes' anger reached the point of losing his mind, and he wished he could punch the greasy man and the justice on the spot.

But his cold reason reminded him that the only consequence of his doing so would be to deepen his doubts or be completely destroyed.

But if he just swallowed this breath, it was really hard for Rhodes to accept it. What he hated most in his life was this kind of guy who would dig himself out in times of crisis, and this justice was the most wretched and meanest person he had ever seen.

Disgusting slugs.

It is really difficult to calm down the anger in my heart without crushing him.

Fortunately, Rhodes soon found an opportunity.

Before he and Gregor were escorted back to the capital as the main suspects, the leaders of both camps had a private conversation with them.

To Rhode's surprise, Miss Qingyu's first words when she saw him were:

"I'm glad we met so soon."

The second sentence is:

"I'm sorry."

Rhodes was surprised and said: "What are you sorry for?"

Qingyu looked at him with clear water-like eyes and said softly: "I'm sorry for involving you in my camp, but I failed to give you enough protection, which caused you to get into a lot of trouble."

Rhode's brows raised slightly, and he asked the question he had been holding in his mind for a long time:

"Why? Why can't everyone in such a harsh and harsh environment unite and work together to get out of the predicament and create better living conditions? Why do we still have to fight against each other, flatter each other, and conspire against each other? What's even stranger is that

, why do you do this and still survive for so long?"

Rhodes' words were merciless, but Qingyu was not angry and said softly:

"We were not like this before. The environment at that time was much harsher than now. It seemed that we could be swallowed up by the darkness at any time. We didn't have many ideas, as long as we could survive."

"Later, under the leadership of the new king, we got better and better, expanded faster and faster, and had more and more resources. Many things that we didn't dare to think about before were easily accomplished later. The king was also very tolerant and gave us more

We have a lot of freedom. Many of the previous strict regulations have been revised one after another, but our combat effectiveness has not declined, but has increased exponentially. Everyone seems to have enlightened themselves. Various schools and inheritances have been revived, and various ideas have been revived.

and ideas emerged one after another. Everyone felt very happy and excited about our achievements. Everyone was full of confidence, thinking that we would soon be able to illuminate the entire Ashland Continent and even the entire world."

"But soon, we suffered a series of serious setbacks. The large number of defeats and the deaths of our compatriots seriously shook everyone's faith. Everyone became confused and confused. No one was willing to accept such a thing. Everyone was eager to think

To find a new path to victory."

"As a result, our differences, hidden under the threat of death or the glow of victory, gradually became apparent and grew larger."

Qingyu's tone became deeper.

"Jon is like this. Since the death of his fiancée, he has become extremely extreme. He believes that in order to defeat monsters, people must be stronger and more cold-blooded than monsters. Survival must be done by any means, and victory is the measure of everything.

Standard. His ideas are recognized by many people and he has gathered a large number of followers."

"Although our goals are all for Trorian, for the Holy Fire, for the future of mankind, and for the continuation of civilization, there are always a few people with other purposes who sow discord, take advantage of the opportunity, and change ideas and paths.

The disputes have become more acute and have no bottom line."

"Especially among our three king candidates."

"Although I tried to bridge the gap many times, with little success. Jon regarded everything as a conspiracy and frequently used the conspiracy against me and another candidate, Starsong. He desperately hoped that everyone would accept his plan.

With this concept, everyone becomes ruthless, cruel and unscrupulous, as if this can instantly overwhelm the monster and restore the previous glory of victory."

Rhodes raised his eyebrows. From Qingyu's words, he could feel the strong emotions, such joy and loss, such expectation and pain.

He feels the same way.

So it becomes even more unacceptable.

"Where is the king? What is he doing?"

Qingyu said softly: "In recent years, Wang has been reclusive. Except for important meetings, he almost never shows up. There are also rumors that he is about to return to the Holy Fire. This is one of the reasons why we are like this. But recently,

For a while, Wang seemed to have noticed this phenomenon and was working to stop it. You don’t have to worry too much."

Rhodes was silent for a long time, reluctantly accepting her explanation. He sighed and asked, "How do you explain those doomsday cults? Why do I feel like there are their people everywhere?"

Hearing this question, Qingyu showed a smile on his face.

"The doomsday cult is only a very small number of people. Most of them are people full of endless greed, hoping to use the crisis of the kingdom to help themselves achieve success."

"There are mainly four types of doomsday cults. There are very few doomsday cults that aim to destroy everyone. Most of them are lunatics and enemies of everyone."

"Those who use pollution fire to gain protection from evil gods such as the Lord of Darkness or the Great Sky God, and are able to coexist with the black mist, are the Polluter Sect. They are the most populous doomsday sect, with approximately 1,500 to 3,000 people."<

/p>

"The Advent sect is the one who summons the Lord of the Old Age to come, destroy all darkness, and save mankind. They are an elite group with a number of about one hundred to two hundred people."

"Those who believe that fire is too strong leads to monster attacks and black mist erosion, and believe that we should actively reduce the scope, reduce the population, give up force, and show sincerity to the indescribable existence in the darkness, so as to gain a place to breathe, are the survivor sects

, they have developed rapidly in recent years, and their number may have exceeded one thousand."

"In addition, there are some individuals or sects who attempt to pray to evil gods to grant power or knowledge, or to realize certain wishes. The number of people ranges from single to ten figures."

"Their total number will not exceed 5,000. Those with real combat effectiveness are probably less than 1,000. However, your arrival alone has cost them more than 300. This is probably because you are the weakest around me.

People, they can only choose to use you as a breakthrough to provoke a fight among the king candidates."

Rhodes wisely did not continue to discuss this issue, otherwise he would accidentally expose his identity as a traitor. Wouldn't that be asking for death?

However, Rhodes does not think that this giant justice is related to the Polluter Sect.

According to the Black Priest, he seems to have become famous among the Polluter Sect and has gained some kind of power from the god of shit-eating. They mistakenly believe that his current powers were obtained by eating shit in the sewers. The Black Priest

I even believed that there was divine power in his feces, and I eagerly wanted to eat it, but Rhodes was stingy and unwilling to give it to her.

These people are really not very smart.

And that chief judge is cheap and cunning, and he is not like a member of the Polluter sect. He doesn't even know himself, so it is unlikely that he came here to kill traitors.

But no matter what, these pests should be killed as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Rhodes asked: "What should I do now?"

Qingyu looked at him quietly, the light in his eyes was restrained, as if there was an indescribable meaning.

She took out a pendant from her body. It had a silver hinge and a blue gemstone inlaid in the golden rectangular pendant.

"This is the mist pendant. It can cover up your aura and your psychic energy fluctuations."

Qingyu put the pendant in Rhodes' hand and said softly.

"You should know how to use it, please don't worry, I will take care of the rest."

Rhode understood in an instant, and his heart was filled with gratitude, and his slight resentment towards her disappeared. He immediately accepted the pendant and said in a deep voice: "I understand, don't worry, leave it to me."

Qingyu smiled and said: "That's great."

Her smile was so beautiful, like clear sunshine, that it made Rhodes feel like he was being healed, and two words suddenly appeared in his heart.

After.

They chatted about random topics, mainly to relieve their sadness and pain.

For example, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Qingyu told him that she received information from Linfeng City's relocation team that there were an unusually large number of monsters, and she also saw traces of a powerful psychic cannon streaking across the sky at a suspicious location, so she came to check.

Jon is probably the same.

"Suspicious location?"

"There are no powerful monsters inside the middle section of the Death Mountain Mountain Range. Logically speaking, there would be no such strong psychic attacks."

"Oh."

Rhodes understood instantly. The Giant Justice was standing on a higher ground than him and was much taller than him. The [Psychic Quintet] had an upward angle and hit the air.

No wonder they both arrived one after another, their defense areas must be next to each other.

No wonder Jon is so suspicious, what he worries about must be something he often does.

Rhodes asked casually: "How is my giant cannon? Is it strong?"

A smile appeared on Qingyu's beautiful cheeks.

"Little Rod, I've heard about you. Your 'second shot' is very powerful, but I think you haven't fully used its power. Next time you can show me the complete process of its shot. I'll

Can give you a better way to use it."

Rhodes's face darkened, "Forget it, if I really use it with you, it won't be a "second shot".

He coughed, changed the subject, and asked without leaving any trace what the phrase "one of the king's wives" meant?

Qingyu's delicate brows wrinkled slightly.

This little move of hers makes her look more like a little girl than a high-ranking candidate who can inherit the throne.

Maybe her identity can be understood as a princess, Rhodes thought.

"It's Jon who said it nonsense. All he can think about is victory and conquest. Even if I win, I won't ask him to be the king's husband. It's too greasy."

The key point is "one".
