Rhode scanned the man from head to toe Come to think of it, he did see thisin Soraka Mountain However, he couldn’t remember him after the start of the chaos It seemed that this man was extremely lucky to have survived the disaster But, Rhode didn’t think that he was just sie of troubles that this faritted his teeth at this thought Initially, he had pestered Marlene in the Fortress and now, it was regarding Soraka Mountain This Alanic Foundation see their presence and had continuously found troubles for Rhode If there was a vote for the best uys would definitely be a popular choice Rhode shi+fted his attention to the minister beside Lydia The senior wore a white robe and held onto this golden staff while gazing at the ust Rhode knehere his sense of disgust came from because this senior was the Patriarch of the Senia Faical father Marlene was his only daughter and furtherical talent and she had almost turned into the slave of the Alanic Foundation… Rhode are that if it wasn’t for hidoone into an all-out battle with the Alanic Foundation Even though the Alanic Foundation was second to none in the Country of Light, the ht too If both sides did end up in a battle, the battle would be no less than a battle between the nations

Just that the scale of the ould be saze, the senior turned towards hi somewhat discourteous However, Rhode didn’t expect that the senior would place his idling left hand on his chest and bow solemnly Then, the senior revealed a kind s his attention back to the noble his narration

Rhode realized that there were a few sharp eyes gazing towards hist the crowd It was apparent that the interaction between Rhode and the Senia Patriarch had gathered soarded them and focused his attention on the narrations of the noble went, one couldn’t convince others with all truths while all lies couldn’t cut it to and the best as to hest to expose and this Zieg Alanic nobleman was apparently well-versed on this subject His narrations were clear and orderly, yet weren’t all truthful Froence of the Chairman to the eruption of the earthquake and the appearance of the Chaos Flames, all of them matched Rhode’s an He seelected’ Rhode’s presence and claimed that when the Chaos Flames erupted, he left the Mithril Hall hurriedly Then, he spotted a suspicious man in a black robe, which peaked his curiosity With the powers of his ical equipment, he followed the suspicious character and witnessed hi the Rock Shrine Shortly after, the mysterious man met up with the Supervisor and both of the of the Duke Fiend At thathad intended to leave, but he discovered that the mysterious man had a dispute with the Supervisor…

But who exactly was that person?

Rhode hadn’t gotten an answer to his question and he continued to listen silently

“I’ve heard your assertion,” Lydia turned a deaf ear to the laughter and she gazed at the man calmly “But this is only from your account, Mr Alanic You have to admit that you don’t have any evidence to support your statehness, his account was reviewed and verified by the Country of Light’s Parliament and is the truth!” MP Danny knitted his brows and replied coldly The fake sradually and it was obvious that he was extre excuses “After Mr Zieg returned to the Country of Light, the Country of Light’s Parliaes to trace his spirit me to the scenes that we have confir In order to search for the ged hi”

MP Danny pointed at the ard he was “For the sake of justice, he illing to dah to prove the authenticity of his recount?”
