Summoning the Holy Sword

After the farce, the banquet resumed. After such a trouble, the nobles who had doubts about Rhodes gradually changed their attitude towards Rhodes. After all, the relationship between the Principality of Moon and the Kingdom of Light was very poor, and Rhodes dared to sacrifice the sarcastic body of the special envoy in the public. This has also changed those who have been hostile to foreigners invading their own territory. In any case, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and this is certainly not wrong.

Serek and Malin's statements also made Rhode's backing extremely stable. One is the long-known sword master of Deep Stone City, and the other is the sole heir of the Shania family. At the same time, he is also a genius mage. Their identity and strength, and their identification with Rhodes represent that he is already qualified to stand on the same level with these two people.

In this way, within Deep Stone City, the number of people who would embarrass Rhodes and the Starlight Mercenary Corps would be reduced. After all, no one would be stupid enough to touch this mold.

So in subsequent banquets, from time to time someone came to toast Rod and talk to him. There are also many rich ladies secretly enthusiastically for this handsome man, hoping to spend the night with him. This is not uncommon among the aristocracy. Many rich ladies and their personal companions like to meet some handsome and handsome men at such a banquet and enjoy a good time with them. As if men always like to brag about having a one-night stand with beautiful women, being able to spend a good night with an excellent gentleman is also a topic of comparison between many rich and young ladies-in this kind of thing, many times men and women are actually the same.

But unfortunately, before these people had time to put their delusions into reality, they were frightened by Malin's cold eyes.

"Shameless things."

Looking at another girl in a luxurious dress, flushed and turning away under her gaze, Marin snorted, then took a glass and took a sip. As a member of the aristocracy, of course, Marlene knew what these women thought about. As a proud aristocratic girl, Marlene naturally couldn't get used to this behavior.

"I said, Miss Marlene, did you come to invite me to drink, or did you come to be a bodyguard for me?"

Rhodes sat beside Marin, watching the scene in front of her, and said a little helplessly. In fact, Rhode is no stranger to this kind of thing. Before he did not cross, Rhodes had made several girlfriends, but the end result was not good. Some were dumped by Rhodes after a thorough understanding, while others opted for psychological stress because Rhodes was more beautiful than himself, and eventually chose to quit. So in this matter, Rhodes is very open-minded. If the other party is willing, he doesn't mind cooperating to ease the pressure. Although there were two beauties sitting beside him at this moment-but adhering to the rabbit's attitude of not eating grass on the edge of the grass, Rod didn't think about them. The benefits of one-night stand are here. The strange men and women don't know each other at all. After you finish, you can slap your **** and walk away. But it's so stressful to play this set with a female surname who meets with her all day .........

"Why, are you still interested in that kind of woman?"

Marin said, raised her chin and nodded to the crowd aside. The rich ladies who were surrounded there saw Marin's gaze coming, and immediately panicked like a chick chased by an eagle. Trace.

"At least it gives me a good chance to choose."

"It's superficial."

Marily gave Rhode a cold glance, but the latter didn't care.

"This ......... Marlin, it's not good for you to do this, after all, it's Mr. Rhode's own business ..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Li Jie, who was sitting on the other side of Rhodes, panicked out and rounded out.

"Why, do you still want to let this man go to eat wild food? Li Jie, will you not be too accommodating to others, or you will be eaten by the man if you get married in the future!"

"Knot, get married ?!"

Li Jie opened her eyes wide when she heard Marin's words. She stared at Rhode beside her, her face flushed, but then she was choked by the drink in her mouth and coughed fiercely.

"Ahem ... it's too early to think about this, Malin, I ..."

"What are you talking about, like me? I was urged by my father last year. Hmm, fortunately, there aren't many men who can make Miss Ben tempted. Otherwise, ... I don't think you care about this now . "

Speaking of which, Marin seemed to think of something. She looked at Li Jie with a little envy and shook her head.

"Looking at a life like yours now, you can do everything yourself. Unlike me ..."

Speaking of this, Ma Lin also felt that she seemed to say too much, shook her head, shut up and stopped talking.

The atmosphere became dull for a while, but soon Rhodes spoke.

"Yes, Marlene, I want to explain something to you."

"What's the matter? If it's about the superficial woman you see, I don't want to listen."

"It's about our mission."

Upon hearing this, Ma Lin immediately turned her head and looked at Rhodes.

"what's up?"

"Is such that."

In the face of Marin's eyes, Rhodes was not as afraid as those rich ladies. In fact, the eyes of this aristocratic lady were indeed very oppressive, full of confidence, pride, and even unparalleled clarity, as if one A shining sword. In front of her, the weaker man might not be able to look up.

"I decided it would be better to go alone."

"why?"

Hearing here, Ma Lin frowned. Although she hasn't been in contact with Rhodes for a long time, she knows that this man rarely changes his decision. This is the first time in the memory of Ma Lin. Repent.

"You should use Li Jie to hear how we met."

Regarding Rhode's inquiry, Marin nodded. Although Rhodes had told Li Jie that the news of the floating ship accident should not be circulated, but as a close friend of Li Jie's boudoir, she was also a member of the mercenary regiment. Naturally, he heard the truth of the matter.

"As I said, I have always doubted the relationship with the State of Light, and just now, Serek told me that the agents of the State of Light were asking about the news recently. It seems that the group of guys are still dead. I want to find you without change. I think that this group of guys will definitely come to my trouble after I leave. "

"So you don't plan to get me involved."

"According to Serek, your identity is not suitable to be involved in, and it is quite dangerous. The people in the country of light do everything for the sake of face. Since they dare to send people to attack merchant ships in secret, they are definitely not I'm going to let others know that they did it, Miss Marlene, you are not the party and it has nothing to do with it, so they shouldn't do anything to you. "

"What about Lijie?"

Marily frowned, then asked.

"There is no need to worry in Deep Stone City. The Kingdom of Light will not be stupid enough to start working in the city in a big and bright way, and the base should be safe. Be careful, there should be no danger."

For Malin's worries, Rhodes didn't care. He now has control of the stronghold, and can naturally activate some defense functions, as if now, if someone invades the stronghold, Rhodes will immediately get a warning and prompt. Moreover, the invaders will encounter a certain degree of counterattack and send out magic signals quickly, and the base itself will be quickly closed to refuse outsiders invasion.

"As for Li Jie ..."

Having said that, Rhode looked at the girl sitting on his other side.

"After I left, you temporarily stayed with the Mercenary Association for a while. I will ask Serek to take care of you. With him, the idiots in the kingdom of light are afraid to grow big."

"Okay, Mr. Rhodes."

Although there was some dissatisfaction with leaving her own home, which was hard to find, Li Jie knew that it was important, so she nodded and answered. Although the girl also wanted to go with Rhodes, she had too few spiritual skills. The healing spell only had an attack effect on the undead, and it was meaningless to the living. Just following Rod's side would only add to the burden, so Li Jie was only able to press her own mind and nodded in favor of Rhode's proposal.

"So, Miss Marlene ..."

After receiving Li Jie's answer, Rhodes turned his head, but before his words were finished, Marin had already answered very simply.

"I reject."

"Hey?"

"Although it really doesn't matter to me, but I'm from the Xenia family. It's not my style to run away with a tail in the face of threats, and ..."

Speaking of this, Marilyn narrowed her eyes.

"After all, this is the Principality of Munn, our country, and the scum of the country of light. If you want to be arrogant here, you must ask us not to agree. Mr. Rhodes, I think I can still help you. Just now You helped me, now it ’s time for me to return. I hope you do n’t refuse. Although your strength is really strong, but your hands are not as good as four punches, and one more helper is always good. Moreover, I am still a Central Mage, the group of light-bodied guys in the kingdom of light may not find them in front of others, but in front of me, they are unlikely to let their conspiracy succeed. "

Hearing here, Rhodes fell into silence.

In all fairness, Marin's words do make sense. If the other party wants to attack when they go to the forest at dusk, they are likely to be sneak attacks. Despite these things, Rhodes can solve it himself. However, as a well-known Central Master, Ma Lin can already use simple enchantment-type spells. This will make countermeasures and inspections easier.

If it was a life of nine deaths without any certainty, then Rhodes would never agree to take a risk with Malin, and now the situation is that he is very sure. At this time, if there is a help .........

"Okay, I agree with you, Miss Marlene."

In the end, Rhode nodded.

"However, I believe you know my conditions."

"I understand that I will obey your orders. After all, I don't want to die of boring self-esteem."

"Then ..."

Talking, Rhode reached out his hand.

"Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation."

In the face of Rod's outstretched hand, Marin smiled confidently, then held her heavily.

They didn't notice that Li Jie, who was on the other side at the moment, stared at the two hands holding together in complex colors. The two little hands grasped the skirt hard, and they were very tangled.

I want to be stronger.

This is Li Jie's only thought at this moment.

ps: Someone in the group asked about the time of the latest chapter update, so I will explain it here. These days, it ’s getting hotter and hotter. My room is Chaoyang in the morning. I got up early in the morning and I really have no mood to write anything. .
