Summoning the Holy Sword

What happened to the Red Hawk mercenary regiment made Rhodes a little confused, and at the same time he was secretly alert. Although it is an accident to say that this kind of thing is in the eyes of others, Rhodes always feels that it is not right. As Shana said, the other party paid a deposit of 150 gold coins. It's too much for a happy play.

There must be a problem behind it.

Although Rhodes thought so, he didn't let Li Jie probe the news of the Red Eagle. After all, the Barney incident made the atmosphere of the two mercenary regiments a bit embarrassing, and Rhodes didn't want to grow side by side, so he Return Old Walker to the Mercenary Association to "regain old business."

"I hope you can help me keep an eye on the latest developments in the association."

Sitting at the slightly old wooden desk in the study, Rhodes said to Old Walker while he was writing and drawing on paper.

"Look if there is anything particularly weird these days, if there are any abnormalities, tell me immediately. Also, I hope you can help me to see more in the association and find an mt."

"Humti? Never heard of it."

"People who can stand in front of the team in times of crisis."

Rhode reached out and tapped his forehead, then corrected the statement.

"Remember, don't have more than two people at most. Although our mercenary regiment is very small now, what we need most right now is not to expand manpower, but to run together and cooperate with each other."

"People who can stand at the front of the team in times of crisis ..."

Hearing Rhode's request, Old Walker narrowed his eyes and touched a bare beard on his chin, thinking.

"Well ... I have such a personal choice, but boy, I think you have to pay a lot of money."

"how much is it?"

Rhode looked up and looked at the old man sitting in front of him, while Old Walker shrugged, then grinned.

"Three hundred coins."

"so much?"

Hearing this, Rhodes frowned. This time he got five hundred gold coins for completing the mission. Old Walker took more than half of this opening, which really puzzled Rhodes. You need to know that the mercenaries themselves don't cost much to hire, and a good mercenary can only join the mercenary regiment for a hundred or more gold coins. There are many mercenaries who prefer not to have money and want to join those mercenary groups. Old Walker and Marlene belong to this kind. The former only needs fifty gold coins, and the latter is not bad money at all. The difference is only combat experience, so Marin did not ask Rhodes for money. And now Old Walker actually spends 300 gold coins to hire people?

Seeing the surprised expression on Rhodes's face, the old Walker touched his beard and showed a happy smile. Since he joined the mercenary group, Rhodes took a sneer to sneer at him when he was okay. Now he finally caught the chance of revenge. Of course, the old Walker is not open-mouthed, after all, this is now his own mercenary regiment, and he has not yet been confused to find his team uncomfortable. It's just ... hey, you pay for a penny, if you want to get the best, you need to spend more.

"Ok."

But beyond what Old Walker expected, Rhodes wasn't as angry, upset, or yelling as everyone else, except for his initial surprise. Instead, he opened the drawer and took out a money bag and threw it on the table.

"There are five hundred gold coins in it. Take them."

"Hey?"

Facing Rhode's actions, Old Walker's expression froze.

"Hey, boy, isn't this the reward of our last mission? You gave me all this?"

"It doesn't matter, there is no place to spend money anyway. Since you want to use it, use it."

This time, in the face of Old Walker's uneasy inquiries, Rhodes didn't even lift his head. He picked up the paper in front of him and replied indifferently. Although five hundred gold coins are considered a lot by Old Walker, in the eyes of Rhodes, they are really nothing. You must know that during his tenure as the president of the guild, the gold coins in his hands were in the millions. These five hundred gold coins It wasn't enough to make a splash in Rhodes. Besides, Rhodes didn't worry that Old Walker would use the money to mess with it. In case he really did that, it would be a big deal to deduct the loss from his reward and end it.

If Old Walker knew that Rhodes had this idea in mind, he would definitely reconsider his suggestion. But unfortunately, people's hearts are separated by the belly, so in the view of Old Walker, Rhode's generosity has really made him re-knowledge about this kid who has a face all day without a word of good words.

"Relax, kid."

Old Walker picked up the money bag, a rare serious expression on his face.

"I promise to bring back someone who pleases you."

Having said that, Old Walker paused, and then a strange smile appeared on his old face.

"I guarantee you there will be no wasted money."

"hope so."

Because Rhode's attention was focused on the piece of paper in front of him, he didn't see the weird smile on Old Walker's face. But at this moment, Rhode put down his pen and closed the paper together.

"Is there anything else?"

"By the way, I want to ask, when will we have a mission next?"

"I have picked it up and set off in two days."

"After two days?"

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Old Walker frowned.

"So I still have time to inquire about the association?"

"Only this task is with me and Marin."

Rhodes shook his head before answering.

"Li Jie needs to concentrate on learning new skills this time, and you have tasks to do, so this time we will go with the two of us, rest assured, just go to the forest at dusk to collect some alchemy plants. The two-star mission is not difficult. So You do n’t have to worry about anything, just rest assured that you are doing your thing well. "

Having said that, Rhode glanced and sat in another corner of the study, the noble lady who was reading, and when she noticed Rhode's gaze, Marin showed a proud and proud smile, which made Rhodes helpless. Deep inside, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

In fact, Rhodes did not intend to do so. He originally intended to go alone, so that he could use this opportunity to dig out the best equipment buried in the forest at dusk. Unexpectedly, after learning about this, she decisively rejected Rhode's request, because for the girl, the most important thing is to go out and take risks to accumulate experience. She has had enough of the extremely boring life in Deep Stone City. Obviously this is very cold. So under the strong request of Marin, Rhodes finally agreed to take her on the road. Anyway, now Marin is also a member of the mercenary group, plus the strength of her mid-level mage is there, even if there is anything Accidents can also be resolved very well.

"Okay, I know."

The old Walker nodded his head for understanding, and then he stood up.

"Then I will prepare, and then go to the association to see the situation ......... If you want to find me something, old place, old place."

With that said, Old Walker was about to get up and leave, and at that moment the knock on the door suddenly sounded. Then Li Jie opened the door and went into the study.

"Mr. Rhodes, this was sent by the Keller family just now."

With a little nervousness and confusion, Li Jie handed the letter to Rhode, which was an exquisite invitation. The bronzing logo and gorgeous family emblem on it all showed her identity and status.

"The Keller family?"

Rhodes frowned in doubt, and then he reached out to take over the invitation from Li Jie.

"Do we know these guys?"

Upon hearing Rhode's inquiry, Li Jie's face immediately showed a weird expression.

"Uh ... Mr. Rhode, did you forget?"

"how?"

"When we returned from Deep Forest to Deep Rock, you didn't save a lady ..."

"I'm not impressed."

Rod replied decisively, and apparently he completely forgot the other person by the look of him. This also made Li Jie stunned. She slightly spit out her tongue, but decided to say nothing more. After all, the two parties were a little unhappy at the time. Originally, Li Jie thought that there would be no more communication between them afterwards, but she did not expect that the Keller family would come to the door again at this time. I do n’t know what they are trying to do this time?

"The patriarch of the Keller family invited me to dinner and thanked me for saving his daughter."

At this point Rhodes had finished reading the contents of the invitation and placed it on the table beside him.

"Do any of you intend to go with me?"

Hearing Rhode's invitation, the old Walker turned and walked out of the room first, without wavering at Rhode.

"I don't do things like boring and drinking tea with those aristocratic masters. I'm going to take a step first, boy, rest assured, and promise to complete your commission."

"Me, me too ..."

Li Jie said, a few awkward smiles appeared on her face, and she took a few steps back quietly.

"Recently learning new magic skills, I think ... I can't get away for a while."

"Marlene?"

Seeing that neither Old Walker nor Li Jie planned to go, Rhode looked at the aristocratic lady who was sitting quietly reading a book, but in the face of Rhode's eyes, Marin thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Although I'm not interested in spending time with the hunk upstarts, it's not bad to occasionally relax ......... Li Jie, come with you."

"Hey? Me? But ..."

"Spirits can't be learned in a day, and ... you haven't participated in a tea party like this for a long time, can you relax?"

"for this I…………"

Upon hearing Marin's suggestion, Li Jie's complexion became even more embarrassing. She peeped at Rhodes and saw that he didn't show anything. This relieved her, then nodded helplessly.
