"Lord Rhodes, I will do my best to answer your doubts with my lifelong wisdom." After being taken to the quiet room by Rhodes, Ender said respectfully, not wanting to give up this hard-won opportunity.
Rhode nodded with satisfaction, and then said the doubts that plagued him: "I remember that you once wanted to marry your daughter, the head of the team, Berry. What do you think of marriage?"
"Marriage?" The tax officer raised his eyebrows. From Rhode's inquiry, he noticed some unusual information, but under Rhode's scarlet eyes, he didn't dare to be suspicious and replied, "Marriage It is an exchange of interests, a powerful alliance between the powerful, and for an existence like you, it should be more like a transaction."
"Deal? Isn't it love, or something else?" Rhodes asked helplessly.
"Well" Ender was noncommittal about what Rhodes mentioned. "If you asked the bard this question, you might get a different answer, but in my case, it's just a deal."
Seeing that Rhode was silent, the tax officer continued: "You don't have to love your future wife, through marriage, you can gain a large territory without bloodshed, and a large number of subordinates' allegiance will bring great benefits to your expedition in the apocalypse. Help. A woman who can match you in identity must at least be the princess of a country, or even the queen herself. As for love, it doesn't matter at all."
Thinking of the imminent threat, Rhode couldn't help but sigh deeply. Of course he understood the meaning of Ender's words. If he was here before, I'm afraid he would agree to Sally's request without a word, but now, he is too late. Can't decide.
People become weak because of love, but heroes are invincible because of love. It is a pity that although Rhodes has a hero template, it is added by the system, and he does not have the corresponding heroic will.
Recalling the bits and pieces of the past, Rhode realized that he should have fallen in love with Inota, and even his cold and hard heart was gradually dissolving in his relationship with Inota. However, when this love contradicted the predicament he faced and the interests of the entire force, he had to make a difficult choice.
Rhodes raised his head and sighed, praying that Inota didn't know the meaning of marriage and got away with it? Or pretend to deceive the thief leader? This is not a good way to look at it. Is it really necessary to conquer Crowlord and become the barbarian king?
"Rowling is right." With the tax officer's puzzled eyes, Rhodes finally said indifferently, "Before I asked you this question, I knew you would answer this, so I came to you. , I need to reinforce the thoughts in my heart with your answer. Not only you, but I know Gwen will answer the same way, and you will all approve of this marriage."
Ender, the tax officer, lowered his head deeply. It seems that the master has made his choice. Then his task is completed. He can give his own opinion, but in the end, only Rhode himself can make the decision. .
"Then I'm going to prepare the celebration first. I believe it must be a grand celebration. The bard will make a song about the situation of that day, and all the dead will remember that celebration. Every year, that day will become the kingdom of the dead. I wish you and Dragon King Moriel a happy wedding in advance." Ender said respectfully.
"What Moriel?" Rhode's mouth twitched, he seemed to have made a mistake.
The tax officer was also stunned: "Lord Rhodes, didn't you think about marrying the Dragon King Moriel?"
Rhode stretched out his hand and touched his forehead: "Where did your ridiculous idea come from? If it wasn't for the imminent threat of Morrell, I wouldn't have to think about it at all. How did you say I was going to marry Morrell? "
"Do you have other candidates?"
The tax officer quickly reacted, and his eyes were different.
"Only those queens can match you in terms of identity, and even princesses are not suitable. Speaking of queens in the main plane, except for the Dragon King Moriel, Queen Catherine of Erathia cannot agree, even if she agrees, Those angels won't agree either. The only remaining thief leader is the elusive thief leader, but her information is rarely circulated, is it her? As for the monarch in hell, or the monarch of the elements is not impossible, but they are inherently different from each other. We are different and will not propose marriage at all"
Ender reported several names, but he was ruled out one by one, and finally locked in a candidate. Rhodes took a deep look at him, and he never thought that with the information he had alone, he would be able to analyze things closely. It seems that in addition to financial management, his resourcefulness may be more useful.
"I understand the truth, but how can you think that I am going to marry Morril? She wants to kill me, and I will kill her too. Every time the frontal battlefield advances dozens of meters to the Dragon's Nest, hundreds of undead will die. , they and the corpses of alien species have already built towers on the battlefield, what on earth do you think to think that I want to marry Morril?" Thinking of his previous words, Rhode couldn't help asking.
Ender hesitated, and while looking at Rhodes' face, he said: "Lord Rhodes, there is no permanent enemy in this world. The Erathian knight and the Elf once had a quarrel over border issues, but when the necromancer threatens Come, they will form an alliance against a common enemy."
"And then what?" Rhodes asked.
"How similar is your position to the Dragon King Moriel. You are both the great lords of the same land, the kings in the doomsday. If you want to conquer Brakada, you will not be able to easily surrender to the hell demons in the future. The conflict of interest is that you took away her artifact. In addition, as for the blood feud of your subordinates who died in battle, I think both you and she have the power of the king, and you will not care at all. If you are willing to return the artifact As a price, marrying Moriel, I don't think she will refuse." The tax officer analyzed.
"You want me to send back the artifact I got?" Rhodes asked with a condensed gaze.
"But you gain more. You will get the allegiance of the sorcerers, the alien army, the giant dragon army, and the entire underground world. It is said that the underground world is vast and contains rich precious resources, far beyond the surface world. More importantly, isn't it a beautiful thing that you also got the Dragon King Moriel with the artifact?" Ender added.
Seeing Rhodes pondering, Ender said again: "Instead of marrying others and seeking a way to deal with Moriel, why don't you directly marry the Dragon King Moriel? As far as I know, Moriel has not yet had a husband, and neither do you."
At the end of the day, seeing Rhodes looking bad, Ender's tone softened.
"If you return the artifact to Morril, after she gets the artifact, she will be able to completely control the realm of time. At that time, wouldn't it be easy for her to go back to the past and kill me?" Thinking of the threat of doing so, Rhode shook his head.
Ender didn't think so: "Lord Rhodes, as I said, the essence of marriage is the exchange of interests. When you have Morrier, the Dragon King, she also has you. You think that for Morrier, it is a return In the past, it would be more profitable to kill you, or would it be more profitable for you to be your husband, to have the countless undead army under your command, and to wield the divine weapon?"
After listening to Ender's story, Rhode fell into deep thought for a while.
