Keller felt that Rhode’s identity was too confusing Originally, he wasn’t interested in Rhode’s background because even the nobility had classifications within their circles As long one had the money, one could purchase a low-class title and enter the ring of nobles Furtherathered intel, he discovered that Rhode hailed from the Eastern Plain, a place that was independent and closed off to the rest of the world That hy Keller didn’t really care about his history But now it seee his view on thisa relationshi+p with the Senia fa that can be easily achieved by ordinary nobles The Senia family’s influence spread wide across the continent While the Keller family could be considered to be rich, but compared to the Sena family, it was just like a small boat in an ocean
Of course, Keller heard of Marlene Senia, the rare and rising genius ed to reach the middle circle rank Her future was li that she had the chance to join the Royal Magic Guard
And this once-in-a-centurybehind Rhode?
Was she iher than her?
If Marlene could hear Keller’s inner ht now, she would immediately throw a few fireballs at him so he could sober up The reason why Marlene stood behind Rhode was so that she could conveniently whisper to Lize As for her status… at least Marlene would assuher than everyone else in the banquet
Keller, who didn’t know the real reason why Marlene was at the back, became even more respectful as he ushered theuests Since the Keller family was considered a first-class family in Deep Stone City, they rarely saw hiarnered even more curious stares towards Rhode
Whether it was on purpose or not, Keller arranged Rhode to sit beside Sereck Noticing Rhode and the others approaching him, the Swordmaster smiled and stood up
“hello, Mr Rhode, I did not expect to meet you here”
“hello, Mr Sereck”
Rhode shook hands with Sereck and nodded
“If it weren’t for Mr Keller’s invitation, I would not have had the chance to co Rhode’s answer, Sereck s After that, he looked at Marlene with a complicated expression
“I already heard the news from Hank Missy, your decision was too…”
“I don’t think that , Uncle Sereck”
Marlene proudly raised her chin
“You also know the reason why I’ain experience, but I was just being locked inside the house, which I did not see any benefit to it I think Mr Rhode can help roup In the end, we’ve succeeded in co ahappened to you, I don’t kno to explain it to your father”
Sereck shook his head, but Marlene clearly didn’t care
“I made the decision myself, so, naturally, I will explain it to ht dissatisfaction in her tone, then she pulled Lize’s hand and left
“Sigh… This youngMarlene silhouette disappear into the crowd, Sereck sighed and turned around to look at Rhode
“I’ll leave that kid in your hands, Mr Rhode I hope that you can take good care of her She has the ability, but she is far too arrogant It’s no surprise though as she possessed both power and talent But in this world, having power and talent isn’t everything If she goes on like this, I’m afraid she will suffer setbacks in the future”
Sereck stopped for a while, then he scooted over to Rhode and whispered so in his ear
“By the e’ve received a strange report A spy fro e suhtly but did not reply
“Do you have problems with them?” Sereck continued
Sereck’s tone e about it But his eyes were carefully scrutinizing Rhode, trying to detect any faint movement on his face
But Rhode ed
“I don’t know, Mr Sereck”
Rhode narrowed his eyes and gave an auous answer
“I did not think that I’ve done so that could spark someone else’s concern”
Sereck maintained his silence for a moment Then he smiled and patted Rhode’s shoulder
“I understand Don’t worry This is not the Country of Light Those bastards wouldn’t dare to do so but trouble to them However, no ht, I hope you won’t involve Marlene in it since her identity is quite sensitive Although the conflicts between the Munn Kingdo new, it’s better if you refrain fro Sereck’s assuring words, Rhode secretly h The codo on for h on the surface, the two countries were in a teoes quite deep This was because of soh the Country of Light was a country in name, but it was more of a coalition than a country When it was founded, the first generation Light Dragon formed a parliaon didn’t agree with the totalitarianison chose a different path It gave up all its rights on state affairs to the parlia a collective voting decision
However, the Munn Kingdo structure was fundaht And because of this, the tension between both countries increased even further Furtherraphical location was superb Situated around the borders of the Country of Light, the Kingdom’s trade network spanned into many directions They had ample lakes and rivers for basic needs as well as for trade Surrounding their doic crystals and minerals were abundant, which made the nearby countries jealous of their wealth
Of course, the Country of Light was no exception Throughout the years, they’d been increasingly envious of the Kingdom’s natural abundance Thus, on the exterior, they tried to improve ties between the countries, but inwardly, they loathed the Munn Kingdodo the Country of Darkness’s tyrannical ways of ruling which would eventually drag the whole kingdoht looked down on the Kingdom and criticized the with the Country of Darkness by trading with them, and their country was the ‘savior’ ould vanquish the ‘evil’ frodom, they felt that they were innocent Neither did they steal, force, nor trick anyone There was no reason for the Country of Light to despise the in prosperity?
