Chapter 2402 New subordinates

"Marriage..."

Listening to Ender's story, Rhodes seemed to understand what he meant.

"There are indeed a few death knights under my command who are not yet married. No matter which one Captain Berry likes, just tell me and I can arrange a marriage for you."

Ender looked helpless and explained: "Lord Rhodes, I think you misunderstood me. What I said..."

"Isn't that what you mean? Are you kidding me?" Rhode interrupted Ender's words, and at the same time his tone dropped, and a terrifying murderous intent suddenly enveloped the appraisal master in front of him.

Feeling the change in Rhode's momentum, Ender's face turned pale. Although he had served as the chief appraiser of the Freelance Chamber of Commerce, the heads of the business groups and the high-ranking officials and nobles of Erathia that he came into contact with would at least maintain superficial harmony. What he really wanted to do would be done in secret, and he would not bring the secret activities to the surface. It was so cruel and compelling, as if looking directly at death itself, it was the first time he felt the piercing murderous intention.

Among the young heroes that Ender pays attention to, Rhodes is the only one whose prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This is why Ender values ​​him so much. Now, Ender finally understands that the prestige of Rhodes comes from Come on, only by killing countless creatures can you have that killing intention.

After calming down, Ander could only sigh. From Rhodes' words, Ander felt his attitude: "Lord Rhodes is really good at pretending to be confused... But in this case, things will become difficult to handle. ”

Beside him, Berry didn't understand the meaning of Ender's words, and there was some confusion in his eyes.

Ender turned around and looked at the family members who had escaped from the high-level space ring with him. When Rhodes showed his murderous intent, they were trembling with fear and did not dare to take a step closer: "I have investigated your deeds. According to your He is extremely vigilant and will not let us leave easily, otherwise there will be a risk of his identity being exposed. Since Lord Rhodes has no intention of his little girl, I can’t force him to do anything, what price should I pay in exchange for everyone’s safety.”

"What do you think?" Rhodes did not answer directly, but said slowly. When dealing with a smart person like Ender, Rhodes's evil reputation would not be a bad thing. Just a slight hint of murderous intent would be enough to put great pressure on Ender, and at the same time make him understand his current situation.

On the side, Berry hadn't yet seen the situation clearly and said proactively: "Father, Lord Rhodes disguised his identity in order to help me retrieve the space ring that trapped you. Now that the mission is over, you don't have to." worry about what."

Ender shook his head and glanced at her helplessly: "You are thinking too simply. Do you really think that a great lord like Rhodes would deliberately disguise himself as a new person and take such a big risk to help you, just because Have you ever provided him with the fountain of life? If he is not interested in you, it can only mean that he has a bigger plan in his heart. Lord Rhodes, although I don’t know what you are planning, but I believe that you are now The plan must be very important."

Rhodes looked stunned. He didn't expect that Ander would discover his true purpose just through these phenomena. As Ander said, if it weren't for the trouble of human blood, after hearing Berry's request, Rhodes would only Help her pay attention when she comes to Sierracia in the future, instead of doing this now.

Compared with Berry, the experienced Ander is more difficult to deal with. Ander is the helmsman behind the rare business group.

"You're smart, but you should know that sometimes that's not a good thing."

Rhodes shook his head and said. After just a moment of contact, Ender discovered something that Berry had always ignored. Even a mage who had mastered high-level wisdom spells would be hard-pressed to match his level of intelligence.

Ender shrugged and was noncommittal about what Rhodes said: "As a master appraiser, these basic observation skills are necessary. As I said before, I am an appraiser and a businessman. I know Everything has its value, whether it's you, my daughter, or myself."

"Now it seems that there is only one way to save the lives of all of us. We will become your hostages and stay in the space ring, and my daughter will continue to bring the chamber of commerce to your territory. Goods." Ender opened his hands and seemed to be saying words that had nothing to do with him.

Rhodes did not answer, but motioned for him to continue.

"You don't have to worry about us escaping from the advanced space ring. There is no designated space gem as a key. If it were so easy to escape from the space in the ring, you wouldn't have spent so much effort to perform the mission before. In this way, This will ensure that your secrets will not be leaked, and with us as hostages, my daughter will not dare to reveal any information. Lord Rhodes, what do you think of this?"

"Hostage..." The corner of Rhodes' mouth twitched. Ender's statement seemed reckless and impulsive, but it was the best choice at the moment.

When the end comes, no matter where Ender is, there will be no absolute safety. Except for the real demiplane, even the living creature space in the ring will face the problem of running out of water and food, and unable to restore mana. If you wait for a long time, you will be stuck in it.

At this time, becoming a hostage in the hands of Rhodes is the safest option. They can escape the doomsday battle smoothly without doing anything, and Rhodes has to replenish them with water and food regularly. On the contrary, Berry, who is still running the business group, will face huge risks. He may die in the hands of those demons while delivering goods one day.

If Rhodes agrees, Ender's move of becoming a hostage can be said to be a retreat in order to make progress, allowing himself and his relatives to successfully avoid the doomsday disaster under the protection of Rhodes. Berry took all the risks.

"What you think is beautiful." Rhodes said without mercy. He also had a new understanding of Ender's resourcefulness. "They can stay in the high-level space ring, but you can't. I want you to go to Saou." I am working for me in Chengdu, and there are still a few vacant seats in the Interior Department there. I hope your abilities can be demonstrated there."

Ender smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his plan would be of no use in front of Rhodes. He was indeed a necromancer known for his insidiousness and cunning.

"Lord Rhodes, I'm just a businessman. I can only appraise some treasures at most. I don't know anything about internal affairs..." Ender wanted to refuse, but after seeing Rhode's unkind eyes, he finally changed his mind and said, "Nevertheless ...I can still barely handle some tax issues, and I hope that your other subordinates and I can happily cooperate in the future."
