It was a pitch-black ball that looked only a few centimeters in diameter, but the golden-haired, middle-aged heroic spirit felt a chill down his spine.
Pure darkness, extreme density, absolute quality, and a sense of threat that could not be ignored...
Although it was just an inconspicuous ball, if the seal on it was completely removed, not only Tolifas City, but the entire Romania would probably be erased from the earth, right?
It was definitely not a simple energy explosion like a nuclear weapon. The sphere contained a gravitational force that could devour everything. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he even took two steps back. The precious artifact called the 'Extreme Punishment King' was also ready to be used.
Yes, he was the famous Duke Dragon Vlad III of Romania, and even if he was standing on Rumanian territory, he was not qualified to block that ball.
“Kazikli……”
Intoning the true name of the relic in a low voice, Grand Duke Vlad planned to strike first. At that moment, a call came from afar.
"King! Please stop!" At this moment, a black car suddenly stopped not far away. The magician named Danick stumbled over. He looked at the two people who were at daggers drawn with a nervous expression.
"Oh? Danick, is this your advice to me?”Vlad III turned his head and the black ball in Rhode's hand disappeared without a trace as if it had never appeared.
"Yes, my king. The young man in front of you is the most talented descendant of my Yggdmillennia family in recent years.”Danick bowed humbly and explained to Vlad III in detail. "Rhode is the pride of the Yggdmillennia Tree. Please forgive his offense.”
" Is that so..." Vlad lowered his head, and the killing intent in his eyes turned into something else.
Unlike the legendary vampire, as the 'great hero who promoted the independence of Romania he was still an upright person, or rather, a politician who was upright enough.
"I won't apologize to him just like that.”Rhode said coldly. " If you think that you have the ability to dodge 'that', our battle can still continue, Your Grace.”
" This…" Danick shook his head helplessly and bowed to Vlad III. "Grand Duke, please forgive me."
"Say no more, Danik." Vlad III smiled and walked to Rhode with a guilty expression.
"It was my mistake." He said this with sincerity. "If I hadn't suddenly appeared behind you, you wouldn't have misunderstood me, right? In the future war, we should support each other. How about this misunderstanding be resolved? Your Excellency Rhode."
Vlad III had a sincere look on his face. He did not have the bossy look he had when he was facing Danick. His haggard face had a kind smile on it, and at first glance, he looked like a gentle herbivore.
"Let's just let it go?" Rhode repeated with a bright smile on his face. "As expected of a hero, Archduke Vlad.”
Obviously, the old fox and the young fox had reached a consensus. The tense atmosphere earlier was now like a gentle conversation.
" Phew..." Although he didn't know what was going on, Danick still took the opportunity to ask. "Since the Grand Duke favors Rhode so much, why don't we let Rhode replace Calles and become the Lord of the Holy Grail War?”
" That's good, I think…" Vlad III replied as if he had rehearsed it before, but Rhode interrupted him abruptly.
"Patriarch Danick, I had no choice but to take refuge when I returned to the family this time. How can I occupy the precious position of master? Wouldn't it feel like kissing her butt?”
Rhode revealed a hypocritical and sincere smile.
"I think it's better to let Calles continue to bear the heavy responsibility of the master. If the family needs my strength in other aspects, I will definitely not refuse. Of course, that is if the conditions permit.”
" Erm…" Danick's face lit up when he heard Rhode's words. He almost persuaded Rhode to take on the responsibility of becoming the Master, but the words 'conditions permit' made his face stiffen. He fully understood how difficult Rhode was to deal with.
Obviously, Rhode didn't rely solely on his skills to survive in the Clock Tower like a fish in water. He also had excellent tactics, which were not inferior to Danick who was ridiculed as 'eight tongues'.
However, as an outstanding politician, Danick ignored Rhode's last sentence as if Rhode was willing to do anything for him. He held Rhode's hands affectionately as if they were having a great time.
" Compared to this, I would like to ask Patriarch Danick for some material to increase our chances of winning the Holy Grail War.”
Rhode smiled and pulled out his hand. Unlike his previous modesty, he was simply asking for an exorbitant price.
"Oh…what do you need?" Danick said in astonishment while Rhode pretended to be ashamed.
" I need the remains of the Lesser Holy Grail. I believe you collected them during the third Holy Grail War, right?”With a subtle smile on his face, Rhode said in a relaxed manner as if the thing he wanted wasn't important.
" You..." Danick's face stiffened. He wanted to refuse instinctively, but Vlad III stopped him.
" Of course. It's good that Danick didn't waste his time collecting those things for you. I hope to see you in battle, Mr. Rhode.”
Archduke Vlad, who was generous to others, was not stingy at all. Instead, he looked free and indifferent. In contrast, Danick's face was already pale.
"As expected of the Grand Duke of Romania.”Rhode chuckled, but his eyes were filled with understanding.
Undoubtedly, Vlad Zepesh wanted to play tricks. Whether it was to get Rhode to work for him or some other scheme, he was just playing tricks with Rhode.
Unfortunately, Vlad III did not know that this seemingly eighteen-year-old youth was actually an old driver who drifted on Mount Haruna!
Rhode had long been used to this routine of treating the virtuous and corporal, so it wasn't worth it.
