Summoning the Holy Sword

Sitting on a chair, Rod looked coldly at Annie standing in front of her, shaking her hands anxiously. At this moment, the girl looked a little bit embarrassed. Not only was her hair and cheeks covered with dust everywhere, even in her You can also see some bruising bruises on the body-although things did not move in such a bizarre direction as the "mysterious carriage continuous killing incident", the expansion at the moment is not very congratulatory for Rhodes. thing.

"It's really hard for you, Annie, how did you feel along the way?"

Facing Anne, who was embarrassed in front of him, Rhode had no good face at all. He stared at the girl in front of him so coldly, and then asked half-depressedly. When hearing Rhode's inquiry, Annie could not help but smile a little awkwardly.

"Also, okay, head ... a little better than expected ..."

"Well, I'm not here to talk to you now."

Rhodes frowned suddenly, then he reached out and knocked at the table. The tone became colder and tougher.

"I remember I had ordered you to stay in the fortress. Why didn't you obey my order?"

"This ......... because ........."

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Annie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but under Rhode's questioning, Annie finally confessed everything very easily. Although Rhode did strictly prohibit her from leaving the fortress before, but for Annie, she was really I didn't want to take on the troublesome and trivial tasks, so in the end, Annie sneaked into the back of the carriage and set off with them while Rhode didn't notice.

I have to say that Annie's decision requires great courage. Although Metz gave Rhode's carriage a special one, the space like the trunk has never been very large. In addition, there is travel inside. The dust and greasy smell of clothes and boxes, as well as some tools and dirty and messy things used to repair the carriage, are even more unbearable. The small space was also a kind of torture for Annie's tall body. She almost curled herself tightly into a ball, and then forced herself into the trunk.

I have to say that this is definitely a pain for Annie, not to mention Rhodes has no parking and rest all the way because he is in a hurry, and the bumpy road can not bear even Rhodes sitting on a soft and comfortable cushion. Not to mention Annie in the back box. The bumps along the way also made the girl's body covered with bruises and bruises. If Annie had not been awakened by element and had wind element protection, I am afraid that if she really died, she would be accounted for in this carriage. At that time, I am afraid that even if a real detective comes back, he will not be able to clean up Rod's suspicion of murder.

"What about those mercenaries?"

"Annie gave it to Uncle Marfa to manage it. Uncle Marfa is so stable anyway, there must be no problem in controlling those mercenaries."

"Have you talked to him in person?"

Hearing Annie ’s confident answer, Rhodes could n’t help but be surprised. Although he did n’t have much contact with Marfa, in the eyes of Rhodes, this middle-aged mercenary still had his own persistence and calmness, and should not have promised Annie Such a weird request, if that's the case, then Rhodes must have looked away. Or, did Annie use a beauty scheme?

"Ok."

Upon hearing Rhode's inquiry, Annie nodded for granted.

"Of course Anne has talked to the uncle, saying that Annie can't do it well, just leave it to the uncle. Anne wants to go to the head of the delegation. But she was trained hard by the uncle ........."

"and then?"

"Then Annie was afraid of being trained again, so she left a note for the uncle and ran out secretly!"

After looking at this sentence, proudly straightened her body, as if she wanted to accept a girl in general, Rhodes had no strength to sigh --- negligence of duty can still behave so straightforward, she is What if I want to praise her?

"You violated my order again, Annie, aren't you afraid that I will expel you from the guild?"

Looking at the proud girl in front of him, Rhode did not relent, but still asked seriously. And when she heard Rhode's words, the proud girl was just now, but now she looked down in frustration.

"Of course, Annie is afraid of being kicked out by the head."

"Then you're coming?"

"However, Annie finds it more comfortable to be with the commander. It is boring to train mercenaries in the fortress!"

Although now Rhodes first thought was to immediately turn Anne away and return to the fortress. But soon he realized that this idea was not realistic at all. From this move of Annie, we can see that she did not dare to do anything without looking at herself. This time, Anne would be sent back to the fortress. Unless Rhodes followed her from beginning to end, he was sure that Annie would follow up secretly after leaving. This was definitely not difficult for her. But for Rhodes, he didn't have time to send Annie back to the fortress. The most important thing now is time, and Rhodes is unwilling to waste time on such a senseless running. Not to mention, he was not interested in running back and forth two or three times for such a painful journey.

But looking at Annie in front of him, Rhodes didn't know what to say.

He has understood that it is useless to say to Anne. This young girl's way of thinking is very different from ordinary human beings. She does not respect tradition and does not like rules. Although she has considerable strength, most of the young girls Every time I rely on my intuition to make judgments and understanding. Before crossing, Rhodes had seen some similar existences on TV shows. Those were children who were abandoned by humans when they were young and then raised by beasts. When they returned to human society again, most of them did not adapt to humans. life.

Apparently, Annie ’s performance also falls into this category. Her views on responsibility, loyalty, and even feelings are different from normal humans. Compared with thinking and logic, Anne prefers to do things according to her intuition. As if this time, she herself admitted that she was afraid of being driven out of the guild by Rhodes, but rational thinking did not prevent her instinctive action. Annie just felt comfortable to stay with Rhodes, so she had no reason to return Here, as for whether she will be hated by Rhodes and even kicked out of the guild, it seems that this girl does not care at all. But if you think about it, this is in keeping with Anne's usual style. Originally, Rhodes wanted to keep Annie in the fortress this time in an attempt to cultivate her sense of community and responsibility, but now it seems that Rhodes's experiment obviously failed.

"Aha……………"

Looking at Annie in front of him, Rhodes didn't know how to reprimand. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. Since his experiments failed, Rhodes had no choice but to accept this reality and take Annie on the road. Fortunately, Anne's strength is not a factor in Rhodes's retreat. According to the level, she is now no worse than Rhodes 3, and for Anne, the training method in the fortress is no longer relevant. On her request. On the contrary, battles such as Castell's Ruins can only improve her strength. Rhodes had considered whether to bring Annie with him, but in the end, he gave up in order to take care of the overall situation.

But Rhodes didn't expect that she had taken care of the overall situation, and Annie gave up the overall situation altogether-she hadn't considered any overall situation at all.

"Regiment ......... Head?"

Looking at Rhodes, Annie showed an uneasy expression, and she raised her head uneasily, staring at Rhodes.

"If I want you to go back now, I think you definitely don't plan to go back?"

"This is of course, head, Annie must still want to follow the head!"

As soon as she said this, Annie immediately raised her head proudly, but after a second, the girl found that this reaction seemed unsuitable, so she lowered her head again.

"Sorry, head, but Annie ........."

"Well, don't say anything."

Rhodes was so annoyed by Annie's actions that she knew that she was doing something wrong, and she was so straightforward and proud ......... This lady is really ......... Thinking of here, he waved helplessly.

"This time you can stay, Annie, but I have to say hello to you first. Once you join, then from today, you must follow my instructions. If you violate any of my orders, then I will immediately Drive you out of the guild and never want to see you again, do you understand what I mean? "

"I see, head! Annie can guarantee that Annie will absolutely listen to the head of the head! There will be no problems at all!"

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Annie immediately showed an excited and cheerful smile, and then she flew to Rhode immediately, hugging the man in front of her tightly. Later, she couldn't wait to make a promise to Rhodes. Her performance even made Rhodes doubt that Anne only heard the first half of her words and completely shielded the threat behind her from somewhere outside her ears?

But now it doesn't make sense to say that, Rhodes pushed away and hugged his girl tightly, then made a gesture.

"Well, you can take a bath and clean up yourself. After spending so much time in the trunk, you must be tired too, so rest early today."

"Okay, head, Annie is here!"

After listening to Rhode's words, Annie immediately raised her right hand in excitement and responded to Rhode. Then the girl ran out of the room in such a smoky way.

Looking at the shaking room door, Rhode reached out and held down his forehead. At this moment, Qilian, who had been watching good shows beside him, finally stood up and arrived in front of Rhodes.

"Whooting, I didn't expect, there will be someone who makes you such a headache."

"I'm just a little helpless. It's not a headache."

Hearing the ridicule of Qilian, Rhode could not help looking up, and replied coldly. As for Rhode's answer, Qilian didn't seem to mind, she just chuckled and then looked out the door thoughtfully.

"So, master, if Miss Anne disobeys your order, are you really going to drive her out of the guild?"

Facing Qilian's inquiries, Rhodes didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the window.

"I think you should know my choice, don't you?"

Rhodes then spoke.
