Under the dim blue sky, Rhode led his maid on the rough cobblestone road.
This place was still under the control of the clock tower. It was even closer to the core area of the clock tower than the dilapidated courtyard 'gifted' by the Yggdmillennia family. It was protected and restricted by the clock tower.
This courtyard, which occupied an area of one square kilometer, was also a gift from a certain family of the Clock Tower. It could be considered as the opening gift of the Arcane Garden.
The family was called 'Edfelt', and there were many magicians from this family in Rhode's Arcane Garden. They provided manpower to supplement Rhode's foundation and to balance this talented young man, as well as to close the relationship between the two.
Be it Edfeldt, Baruletta, or even the famous 'Aristocratic' Sofia Family of the Clock Tower, they all accepted Rhode and chatted with him several times.
However, the schemes of these families all ended in failure. After the other families understood Rhode's principles, they couldn't help but feel disappointed and waited to see the tragedy of this rookie of the Clock Tower.
Rhode had offended the proudest part of the families by rejecting the invitations from most of the families in the Clock Tower. The rest of them would not help either of them and even add fuel to the fire. There were even rumors among the newbie magicians that 'Rhode will pay the price for his arrogance sooner or later.'
Rhode wasn't as stupid as they thought. He had left a deep impression on every family in these countless conversations. He even managed to gain the support of a large number of families through the exchange of benefits.
Of course, these families were all questioning Rhode's identity and suspecting which old monster in history he was. He wasn't a simple 16-year-old youth.
" Master..." Just as they walked to the gilded gate of the manor, Liu Zhu stretched out her arm and hesitated.
"What's wrong? You don't have to worry about anything in front of me." Rhode chuckled and said with a hint of joy in his voice. Apparently, he was glad that Liu Zhu didn't use such an 'unseemly' and direct venomous tongue.
"Huh?" A faint smile appeared on Liu Zhu's face, but her clear gem-like eyes were filled with disdain. "Last night, when you did those disgusting things to me, you said the same thing. Could it be that this is also your sexual addiction? But I don't hate terrible masters…"
"As expected, I shouldn't have expected you to get rid of your venomous tongue.”Rhode shrugged his shoulders. He was the one who had personally set Crystal Pearl to have such a venomous tongue, so he naturally had to take responsibility for it.
"Oh? Was this considered a venomous tongue? I think it's a kind whipping. It's very useful for you to get rid of those sexual habits. At least you didn't use those disgusting props these past few nights.”
With a faint smile on her exquisite face, Liu Zhu mocked without hesitation. However, her fair face was also flushed red, and her slender legs could not help but clench slightly. Clearly, she had recalled something terrible.
"Whip is only effective on perverts, right? I'm still considered a normal human being for the time being.”Rhode laughed at himself. "Let's get straight to the point. What are you trying to say, Liu Zhu?”
" It's very simple…" Seeing that Rhode had gotten to the point, Liu Zhu's little girl's attitude gradually disappeared and she asked curiously. "Why did you sell the attire to Baruletta of the Twelve Suzerains? We don't lack funds, and I'm afraid we'll turn against the Clock Tower in the future, right? Your current actions are undoubtedly aiding the enemy.”
"That's why it's sad to not know politics, Liu Zhu.”Rhode chuckled. "No country in this world will sell the latest weapons. They will sell simplified goods and even eliminated garbage to those third world countries to earn huge profits. That's what I do, that's all.”
" But…" Liu Zhu wanted to question him, but Rhode's finger stopped her from doing so.
"Wait a moment, I'll show you my true power.”
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Located in the manor that was gifted by the famous family of the clock tower, the original antique manor had been completely modernised. All kinds of technology were spread throughout every corner of the manor, from simple laser mines to fully automatic anti-aircraft guns. The manor was filled with the characteristics of a certain country, simple and tyrannical.
After all, only that place would use anti-aircraft guns to execute criminals, right?
All kinds of cameras filled every corner of the manor. Countless golems and puppets disguised as decorations hid in the shadows. Every shiny armor was a brave steel golem. Behind every classical painting was a powerful and ferocious M18A1-Claymore broadsword mine. Whether it was the golem's weapon or the high-power mine, they were all attached with magic, making it more concealed and symbolizing fatal lethality.
The seemingly elegant manor had actually become the strongest fortress in the world. Even an entire infantry company could not break through it. Instead, they would be completely defeated and devoured by those cruel traps.
Under the manor, in the space connected by the elevator, there were a total of eight teams of 12 mercenaries, a total of 96 mercenaries, waiting to be deployed.
They were fully armed, and their bodies shone with the brilliance of steel and magic. Each of them had the figure of a bodybuilder and had the qualities of a modern army.
Standing on the high platform, Rhode hugged Liu Zhu's slender waist and smiled brightly like a military parade.
" These people were originally mortals. They were mercenaries hired by Lion Jie Li from that terrible place in the Middle East. I transformed them into flesh golems. Their steel bones and super recovery ability can allow them to fight Wolverine head-on or fire with a 60mm caliber machine gun. They are also 'absolutely' loyal.”
"Did you give them a hint with your arcana?”Liu Zhu muttered softly as she looked at the somewhat rigid eyes of those people. "That's a little too much."
"But I gave them the highest commission in the world. They can get tens of thousands of pounds for working for me for a year.”Rhode said righteously, but Liu Zhu pinched the soft flesh on his waist.
"I said, if you're touching my waist, don't go in! That's too much!"
