"Court of Shadows?"
Rhodes was surprised for a moment and then returned to normal.
But Beta, who had always regarded Rhodes as his backbone, noticed his changes and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Lord Rhodes, don't you like this name?"
Rhodes said amusedly when he saw Beta's hesitant look.
"I just thought of one thing. No matter it is the Shadow Courtyard or any other courtyard, a name is always a name. The most important thing is that you are here, and that is enough."
"Lord Rhodes..."
Upon hearing this, Beta lowered her head and placed her white hand on the heartbeat. The rapidly beating heart proved that the girl was by no means as calm as she seemed on the surface, muttering to herself in her heart.
"Actually, it's the same for us..."
Beta vaguely thought of the original intention of the Shadow Courtyard.
The Shadow Courtyard was originally proposed by Alpha. Its meaning is very simple. It is like a shadow that follows Lord Rhodes, never leaving.
The world hates them and abandons them.
Because of this, they have seen darkness and tasted darkness, so they hide their bodies in the shadows, hunt the dark side of the world, and guard the beam of light that breaks through the darkness. This is also their meaning.
"It's up to you to decide about the organization. If you encounter something that can't be solved, come to me."
"Next..."
Rhodes didn't know Beta's psychological activities, and a dangerous smile appeared on his lips: "I'd better do something in advance."
"What happened?" Beta came back to his senses and asked blankly.
"There are some restless people in the house."
After Rhodes heard that Claire was kidnapped, he decisively used the power of fate and calmly reviewed the entire process of Claire in his mind.
He had previously wondered how Claire could be taken away as quietly as in the original novel, but since there were several mice in the house, it was not surprising at all.
"Sneaking in...that's what it is!"
Beta suddenly realized that although the sight of the Shadow Courtyard was rarely focused on the villa, and there were only two or three people left, it was not that easy to avoid them. It made sense that there were spies inside.
However, when they were completely confused, Lord Rhodes not only locked the location of the opponent's lair, but also found the hidden spy.
As expected of him.
Beta's eyes shone with admiration, and he took out a pen and wrote quickly, recording his deeds bit by bit. This picture shows the appearance of his number one fan girl.
Rhodes was also used to Beta's actions and opened the door. At this moment, other people in the villa also discovered that Claire was missing, and they suddenly panicked.
Rhodes walked slowly in one direction and started cleaning up.
…
"How's it going? Did you bring another kid?"
In the dilapidated wooden house, there are piles of tools stored by servants. And among them, in an inconspicuous corner, on the ground covered by thatch, there is a passage that is obviously man-made.
Five sneaky men in servant outfits gathered together holding torches.
"I didn't have a chance to do anything, and I don't know what happened to those maids. They were lingering in front of that brat's door every day. In order to avoid causing unnecessary noise, I didn't forcefully break down the door and take him away." Someone said angrily. .
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the most important cargo has been obtained. There are a lot of wild dogs on the road. If you need to deliver business over there, grab any of them and take them back. Get ready to evacuate!"
The others had no objections, raised their torches, and left together.
"Bah bang bang."
Suddenly, crisp applause suddenly sounded at the end of the deep road.
Several people's pupils shrank slightly, looking straight ahead in surprise.
"It's really lucky for you that such a farce happened so early in the morning."
The figures of Rhodes and Beta appeared dimly in the flickering firelight.
As the distance got closer, a few people finally saw the person clearly.
The scene was silent for a moment, but the man who said he was evacuating was the first to break the silence. He stepped forward cautiously, and his tone was also filled with the awe of a male servant for the owner of the house.
"Master Rhodes, what are you doing here? Come back with us quickly. They are all looking for you and Claire."
As if he was really worried about Rhodes, the man cautiously moved towards Rhodes.
When the light of the torch further illuminated Rhodes' back, confirming that there was no one behind him except a maid, his originally flattering expression suddenly changed, and he fiercely pulled out the knife from under his clothes, and the magic power rippled on the blade. It flowed and stabbed at Rhodes' neck with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Even though the person he wanted to assassinate was a teenager, he didn't blink at all.
Neither the maid nor the boy moved, as if they were frightened, just when he thought he had succeeded completely.
"clang!"
The tip of the knife suddenly stopped, and he was shocked to find that there seemed to be some obstacle in the space in front of Rhodes. His arms were shaking, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make an inch.
Not only that, he was even horrified to find that his body seemed to be dead and unable to move, leaving only his mind giving frantic warnings.
"Poor acting."
Rhodes took the knife out of his hand with a playful look on his face. After spinning it on his fingertips for a moment, he suddenly threw it towards him!
"call out!"
The extremely fast flash left a faint light in the void, and a blade penetrated the man's forehead, and he slowly fell down.
Blood dripped down his cheeks and onto the ground, staining the ground into dark red spots.
"Lord Rhodes, leave the rest to me."
After solving one person, Beta suddenly took the initiative to ask for help.
"Then I'll leave it to you." Rhodes was surprised that Beta, who had a softer personality, actually took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you Lord Rhodes for your kindness."
Beta held up the hem of her maid uniform and bowed elegantly to Rhodes. Then she turned around and faced the formidable crowd. Her face was not as well-behaved as before when she faced Rhodes. Instead, she looked extremely angry. Expressive face.
"To describe the beloved Lord Rhodes as a wild dog on the road, you should be glad that Lord Alpha is not here, otherwise, when she gets angry, she will be scarier than me!"
