Summoning the Holy Sword

"This lady ...... want to join your mercenary regiment."

With the words of Old Hank, Rhode turned his eyes to the woman next to him, and under his gaze, the other party finally took off his cape and revealed his true colors.

It was a girl who looked sixteen or seven years old.

The delicate face, exquisite features, and beautiful, long white hair that looks like snow are eye-catching, and a pair of large wine-red eyes flashes a curious light. With the unique confidence and pride of the nobleman on his face, judging from the girl's beautifully made collar and the intricate patterns on it, it is obvious that she should be behind a certain nobleman.

"This lady is ..."

Rhodes frowned. He didn't want anything unexpected.

"Hello, Mr. Rod Elantra."

The girl stretched out her hand generously and said with a smile.

"I'm Marin Sunia. As you have heard, I hope to be able to join your mercenary regiment and ask you to give me this opportunity."

"Marin Sunia?"

Hearing the girl's self-reported home, Rhodes stayed a while, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The name Marin Xenia is no stranger to Rhodes. In the game, this character is quite famous among players, and she even has an nickname "Queen of the Mercenary World". It is rumored that this lady is a magical genius. At the age of nineteen, she had broken through the limitations of the inner ring mage and set up a mercenary group called "Ring of Freedom". . However, among the players, this lady is not liked, because it is said that she has a quirk-she hates men.

This is very obvious in the game, the mercenaries of the ring of freedom are all female surnames, not a man. And those male surname players who want to join are all rejected, and even this mercenary group is only limited to female surname players, even those male surname players who want to hire a few mercenaries on the basis of their wealth are rejected Outside the door. This also makes many players itchy hate to this woman. Therefore, most people don't think highly of this mysterious, so-called "queen of mercenary" woman, and they even hate it.

Although suffering from many players' hatred, Marlen's ending is a standard hero end-when facing the attack of the kingdom of the night, she and her men resisted the kingdom of the night for three days and three nights outside the Golden City The attack finally launched a suicide-style taboo spell under the siege of the heavy soldiers, and ravaged the country. From this point, it is indeed reverent.

Although Rhodes had also heard the name of the young lady, because of his "male surname", he had never met the other person. At this moment, I heard that the young lady was actually in Deep Rock and wanted to join her. Mercenary regiment, which also made Rhodes quite surprised. Don't you say that lady hates men the most? How could she take the initiative? Or did she consider herself a woman? There should be no such weird thing happening.

Looking at Malin's right hand, Rhodes was also a little confused. Could it be that this is just a different person with the same name? It doesn't make sense. The other person is indeed the last name of Xenia. From her outfit, she looks like a noble family, except that the Xenia family is far away from the Golden City. No, what do you want to do when you come to this remote and remote place in Shenshicheng? Is it a response to the call to go to the mountains and countryside?

"I've heard your name, Miss Xania."

Rod replied calmly, holding his opponent's hand at the same time. He doesn't know much about the story of this legendary character, and it is no different from other players, but the general situation is still understood.

"Please forgive me if I have offended you, but ......... you should not be in the college at this time ..."

Hearing Rhode's question, a faint light flashed in the eyes of Marin and Old Hank.

The reason why Marlene is interesting is because the other party actually knows her identity and even knows some of her own things, which shows that I heard from Old Hank that the strange rumor that the head of the mercenary was a noble was not true. Miscalculate. The old Hank was a little surprised, he did not expect that Rhodes would really have a relationship with the aristocracy. Although many people have had such speculations for a long time, it is difficult to stand still without the support of actual evidence. And now, Rhode has finally shown his side as a nobleman. Imagine that this kind of news is generally circulated among the children of the aristocracy. If Rhodes is just an ordinary mercenary, it is absolutely impossible to understand this kind of thing. of.

"Is such that."

Perhaps it was confirmed that Rhodes was "own", and the hold and pride that Marin showed in the beginning also dissipated a lot.

"My mentor believes that my strength has now reached a stage. To continue to improve, it requires a certain degree of practical experience, so I asked Uncle Serek to give me this opportunity to let me exercise here."

It turned out to be related to Serek.

It was only then that Rhodes realized that it was obvious that it was because of the sword master's face that the Xenia family would send their daughter to this ghost place, but before that, Rhodes was still Some things need to be confirmed.

"Miss Marlene."

Thinking of this, Rhodes retracted his hand, looking pale.

"Since Uncle Hank brought you here, then I think you should have learned about us from him. Frankly speaking, we are indeed understaffed now, but because of this, it would be dangerous to follow us on missions. In particular, we have only recently received a four-star mission. If there is any accident, it is likely to encounter an outrageous disaster. In this case, you are willing to use your life as a bargaining chip to join my mercenaries. Mission? "

Facing Rhode's inquiries, Malin raised her chin slightly, revealing a confident and cunning smile.

"Of course I can understand what you mean, Mr. Rhodes. But this is a good thing for me, and as a mage in the ring, I am still very confident in my strength."

Is it a good thing for her?

Hearing Malin's answer, Rhode looked at Old Hank in doubt. He has not met the "Mermaid Queen" in the game, and from the impression of meeting for the first time now, the lady is a person with a good read ability and a strong self-esteem, except what she said But it made Rhodes a little bit puzzled. How could a mercenary regiment that didn't even have full numbers become good for her?

Uncle Hank, who was aware of Rhodes's eyes, was miserable. He was very clear about the identity and influence of Marlene. A noble child, single, came to a place like Deep Stone City, although her strength was not weak, but Mercenaries sometimes look at more than just strength but means. Even if you are a powerful mage, you can kill countless enemies on the battlefield, but after all, you are still not a woman. If you are drunk and dragged to the bed by those bad-hearted guys, you are useless as a master ? So the old Hank has been very careful, the fear is that if something happens to this young lady, she will not be able to handle it.

In addition, the pride of the nobleman revealed by Marin also made many mercenaries very uncomfortable. Although Old Hank had introduced her to several mercenary regiments before, but in the end, the other party was neat with her own personnel. She was rejected for accepting more people. After all, the two sides are not the same person, and for the mercenaries, they do not trust those nobles.

Marlene is not stupid. She knows why these people are unwilling to accept herself, but the pride unique to the aristocracy does not allow her to lower her price to cater to these guys.

The appearance of Rhodes gave Marin a spark of hope.

I heard that the other party is also a noble. If this is the case, then he must be much better than the uneducated mercenaries, and this mercenary group has only two people. The manpower is definitely not enough. If they want to make excuses to say personnel Neatness-isn't that a lie with open eyes?

Rhodes didn't understand what Malin meant, but the old Hank knew that she meant something, which made the old man secretly startled. Before coming here, he had persuaded the proud young lady many times, Starlight Mercenary The regiment was definitely not her best choice. They had too few staff and too dangerous missions, and they still lived in the famous mansion in Shenshicheng, but even if they broke their lips, the young lady did not listen at all. Go in. This also made the old Hank privately complain in his heart that the aristocracy was a group of proud and stubborn guys, so was Rhodes, so was this young lady, it was really troublesome!

If possible, the old Hank really wanted to report this to Lord Serek and let him handle it. Presumably, Lord Serek definitely does not allow Malin to take such a risk, but the adult who is so immortal has not been in the mercenary association for two days, and can't find anyone at all. But Marlene was very smart to see this, so she was forced to order the old Hank to do what she wanted while Serek was away.

Heaven, earth, I really do n’t want to do such offensive things ...

Old Hank can of course foresee, once Serek returns, what kind of expression he will have after learning this decision, but what can he do?

This is the sadness of the little man.

Rhodes didn't know exactly what Hank was struggling with, but even if he understood it, he wouldn't take it seriously. It would be better for a mage to come to him. Even if the old Hank objected, Rhodes was already determined to bring the future "mermaid queen" to his thief ship.

But before that, Rhodes felt he had to make it clear.

"I can accept you, Miss Marine."

Speaking of which, Rhodes became more serious.

"But I have several requirements."

"please say."

When she heard Rodson's mouth, there was a surprise in Malin's eyes. She came here to gain a certain practical experience, but she did not expect to be a canary in a cage after coming to Deep Stone City. Freedom of action. This also made Malin very dissatisfied, so after hearing about Rhodes and his mercenary regiment, Malin quickly realized that this was a very good opportunity.

Now it seems that he is about to succeed.

"First of all, since you have joined the mercenary regiment, then you are my subordinate."

Rod raised a finger.

"As a subordinate, you must obey my order unconditionally. In the task, you can do nothing without my permission. You must report to me in advance even if you want to facilitate such a small thing."

"you!"

Hearing here, Malin's face changed slightly, but before she could say anything more, Rhodes raised a finger again.

"Second, although you have joined our mercenary regiment, we are not familiar with each other because I don't think you can cooperate with us in the fight. So I ask that you must fully obey my instructions in the fight, What I want you to do, what you have to do. If I do n’t need your defense, you ca n’t move even if the enemy is close at hand! ”

Speaking of which, Rhodes let go.

"This is my condition. If you can accept it, even if I welcome you to join my mercenary regiment."

"What if I violate it?"

The girl at this moment was already sinking in water, she clenched her teeth and asked in a low voice.

"I will give you up immediately."

Rhodes answered without hesitation.

"I have said before that this task is very dangerous. If you ca n’t do what I say, then we are likely to die there. So I must guarantee that all possible accidental surnames are minimized. If you act dangerously without us, then for us, abandoning you is the inevitable choice. "

With the words of Rhodes falling, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
