Chapter 431 A Reward from the Angel (2/2)
In comparison, Eagle City used to be a military fortress, which was why the encampment of the Battle Angel Army was fixed and never changed. It was hidden in the edge of the city without too many guards on standby. Looking from afar, there was nothing apart from the flag representing the Light Dragon, the Holy Royalty, and the walls by itself.
Neither of them faced any troubles on their way there, but there was something troubling Rhode, and that was Anne.
The young lady smiled cheekily as she followed Rhode closely. Uninterested in the beautiful scenery on both sides of the path, the young lady hugged Rhode's arm so ever naturally, humming as she went. She was like a little pet dog circling its owner from time to time and sometimes licking its owner's legs, body, and whatever. Furthermore, Rhode clearly felt the soft parts of the young lady's front as she clung tightly to his arm. Yes… You don't say. It felt great.
Rhode reminded Anne a couple of times, but Anne didn't seem to listen. Rhode gave up reminding her since he was the one taking the advantage. Moreover, this wasn't anything shameless. It was merely touching, rubbing and they didn't lose anything from this. Anne was all the more unconcerned over this, so why should he be?
Both of them arrived at the encampment entrance after a pleasant journey. A Battle Angel by the entrance led them into the main hall located in the middle of the encampment.
The whole encampment seemed pretty clean and tidy. The white ceiling and floor, together with the pure, white marble columns were spotless, filling the place with a sacred atmosphere. It was rather quiet and peaceful in the entire encampment, without any majesty. However, as one stepped in, one would feel the urge to observe silence. Even Anne who has been rubbing against Rhode all over followed quietly, observing the place curiously with her shield on her back.
Just like this, they entered the main hall where a Battle Angel was waiting for their arrival.
”I'm so glad to meet you, Mr. Rhode, Miss Anne.” A Battle Angel clad in full silver armor greeted them with a warm, elegant smile.
Rhode placed his hand on his chest and bowed respectfully. ”I'm sorry for this late appointment, Miss Natalya.”
”Please don't apologize, Mr. Rhode.” The Battle Angel Army Leader gestured and handed over a beautifully crafted box to Rhode. ”Thanks to Mr. Rhode and your men, we have acquired the important intelligence in the Bone List, which is a great help to our country. We have reported this entire incident to the Royal Highness and the Royal Highness wants us to convey her gratitude. Thank you Mr. Rhode and Starlight for putting a stop to the conspiracy of the Country of Darkness and providing us with such important intelligence.”
”It is my honor to eradicate threats to the country.” Rhode bowed slightly in response. Although Rhode's expression remained the same, his tone of words surprised the Battle Angel Army Leader. She had seen various types of people as a Battle Angel. Some reacted excitedly after receiving the commendation of a Battle Angel while some reacted calmly but were secretly excited. However, Rhode's reaction was different from all these people. His reaction was indescribable, as though he wasn't simply a civilian of the Munn Kingdom. It felt more like he was a helping hand in aiding with the country's growth.
Of course, she wasn't aware that Rhode had managed to bring the Munn Kingdom's prestige to the 'Worship' level in the game. Also, he had fought alongside Lydia at the very last moment. Furthermore, players weren't mindful of the hierarchy in social classes as the aborigines were, which was why this wasn't a big deal for Rhode.
However, this doubt only lasted a few seconds in Natalya's head as she smiled without expressing her thoughts. Rhode was filled with anticipation as he received the box. In the game, players would receive a list of equipment after handing in the Bone List and although the list of equipment wasn't necessarily powerful, all of them were rare and one of a kind. Furthermore, it was the generous Royal Highness Lydia who was rewarding him. So… What would it be?
Rhode opened the lid slowly and his eyes widened after recognizing the item in the box.
A pair of extraordinarily stunning, delicate daggers laid within. Their white, flawless sharp blades were 60cm in length, shimmering in hallucinatory glow under the bright sunlight. Gold and silver lining studded the hilt, crafting two beautiful flowers. As Rhode tilted the daggers, he observed a line of sacred, unadorned text carved on the blade tips. For unknown reasons, Rhode felt strangely familiar with this pair of daggers.
At this moment, he felt a burst of emotions emerging from the bottom of his heart.
