Chapter 150 The Elf on a Rainy Night

What happened?

Hearing Anne's scream, Rhode frowned, then stood up and walked over. At this moment, the other mercenaries were also attracted by Anne's shouts and turned their heads one after another.

"What's wrong? Anne?"

"The leader... this child... she..."

Facing Rhode's inquiry, Anne pointed at the girl in front of her with some hesitation and anxiety, obviously not knowing what to say. At this moment, when she noticed her movements, Marlene and Lijie also curiously peeked at the girl's face that was originally shrouded in the cloak, and then their faces changed slightly.

"This is too much!"

Marlene almost angrily stood up, and Lijie was also shocked.

"This...this..."

At this moment, with the help of the light of fire, Rhode finally saw the face shrouded in the darkness, which made him stunned.

In other words, Rhodes didn't see what the girl's face looked like. The long dark purple hair hung down from the girl's forehead, blocking the girl's right eye. Not only that, under the shadow of the cloak, from the mouth and nose, the girl's face was completely wrapped in a leather mask, tightly bound behind. Only in the middle of the nose and mouth, several small gaps were exposed to breathe air. If you look closely, you will find that a solid collar was connected to the bottom of the mask, which was firmly fixed with iron chains and dark locks, and there was no way to remove it.

Is this a torture instrument?

Rhode frowned. He finally understood what Anne, Marlene and others were doing. No matter who it was, he would probably be furious when he saw such a young child being treated like this.

"What's going on?"

"The Holy Soul is here, this is so scary! Which bastard did it?!"

At this time, the mercenaries surrounded them one after another. They looked at the girl in front of them in surprise, not knowing what to say at all. Shanna frowned and turned around to look at Lando standing next to her.

"Lando, go get the dagger and see if you can take it off."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Hearing Shanna's orders, Lando nodded quickly, and just as he was about to turn around to get the dagger, the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes. Then she shook her hand anxiously, pointed to her mask, and shook her head again.

"What does this mean?"

Facing the girl's strange statement, everyone was stunned. Then, Marin said with some uncertainty.

"You mean... this mask... can't you take it off?"

“…………”

The girl nodded vigorously, pointed to her mask again, and shook her head. Perhaps because of her excitement, her breathing was a little rapid. Soon, the girl began to cough in a low voice. She bent down and covered her mouth with one hand, making a low cough. Her thin and weak body kept rising and falling like a small boat in the turbulent wind and waves, as if it was about to subvert.

"let me see."

Lijie hurriedly walked up and held the girl's hand. Soon, a warm white light appeared and enveloped the girl's body. The girl gradually calmed down. She raised her head and looked at Lijie with gratitude, and then looked at everyone. When she saw Rhode, the girl's eyes were slightly wide open, and her body shook, as if she wanted to do something, but in the end she fell forward, threw herself into Lijie's arms, and closed her eyes.

"What's wrong with her? Are you okay?"

Marlene asked uneasily, while Lijie shook her head and sighed.

"It's nothing. She just was too weak, so she fainted... Maybe it's a good choice to give her some rest, but..."

Speaking of this, Lijie looked at the girl with a little more worry.

"Through the treatment just now, I found that she was very weak and hadn't eaten for a long time. Not only that, she was also seriously ill - at least not a disease that would be cured in a short time."

"Why do you still have to come out even though you are so weak?"

Anne looked unimaginable, not only that, but even the others showed incomprehensible expressions. This is not surprising. After all, according to common sense, people who are seriously ill should rest more. No matter how difficult it is, they will not have to work in this kind of weather. Moreover, the strange leather mask on the girl's face is also confusing. If it is specifically covered up because of the girl's face, it will not be as if it is sewn together with her mouth and nose, which is more like a punishment measure. But what would such a little girl do that deserves punishment for others? Not to mention that she is still punished so severely, even those robbers and murderers who have committed evil deeds will not be treated like this.

"This is not the issue we have to care about now."

And at this moment, Rhode, who had been silent, spoke.

"Shana, go and make another fire inside and boil some hot water. Lijie, Marlene, Anne, this child is left to you to take care of. After the water boils, you can help her wipe her body. Her body is soaked and she can't fall asleep like this. Those flocks... I think they shouldn't have a big problem, and others will take good care of them. As for who she is, where she comes from, it's not too late to ask when she wakes up...Shana, you don't need to watch the night tonight, leave it to Old Walker. You just need to be responsible for watching this girl by her side, and the rest of you will rest as usual."

Since Rhode had issued the order, the others didn't say anything more. According to Rhode's command, they quickly started their respective work. Old Walker took over Shana's post and vigiled at the entrance of the cave, and the other mercenaries quickly found a place. While they were curiously talking about the strange thing that happened tonight, they gradually fell into a deep dream. Marlene took Lijie and Anne to the depths of the cave to set up a fire and burn hot water to clean the girl's body. Not only that, Marlene also used spells very considerately to create a wall of earth, blocking everyone's eyes - no matter what, men and women always have something else.

When it was all over, it was already late at night.

After Lijie's sacred technique treatment, the girl who warmed her body fell into a deep sleep. Marlene and Anne also lay not far from her and closed their eyes. After a day of fatigue, they were already very tired, and naturally they couldn't support such a thing for too long. Shanna sat quietly next to her, looking at the fire in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Mr. Rod, are you not asleep yet?"

Rhode turned his head and saw Lijie standing behind him, holding the cloak that the girl was wearing, and it seemed that she was about to dry it.

"Go to sleep later, how is her condition?"

"It's worse than I thought..."

As soon as she talked about this topic, Lijie couldn't help but frown. When cleaning the girl's body, her skinny body was already shocking. Not only that, Lijie also saw many bruises on her body. According to her experience, they should be scars left after being beaten and collided. Not only Lijie, but even Marlene and Anne could not imagine how cruel people would be to attack such a girl who looked extremely weak. Not to mention that during Lijie's examination, they also found that these injuries were not one-time, but accumulated over the years. They could not imagine what kind of person would use such injuries to a girl who had been ill for a long time. Even Marlene turned against her usual steady and gentle attitude, and sweared fiercely that if she found those guys, they would completely roast them into carb!

"Her physical condition is very poor, and...her disease seems to be difficult to cure. I have tried my best, but it has not achieved much effect."

"That's how..."

Hearing this, Rhode nodded expressionlessly, and then he gently patted Lijie on the shoulder.

"I understand, you should rest early, we will arrive in Gaoya Village tomorrow. I think this girl should be from there too..."

Speaking of this, Rhodes was a little unsure. He was not unfamiliar with Gaoya Village, but Rhodes never remembered that there was such a number NPC in the village. You should know that the girl's outfit was so eye-catching that players could not notice it. However, from the beginning of the game until she left, there was never similar information or rumors about this, which made Rhodes very strange. He carefully recalled a series of tasks in Gaoya Village in his mind, but he had no gains. But this is not good. After all, the mainland in the game is always changing, and some NPCs will choose to leave or disappear, not to mention that during this period, the player has not reached Gaoya Village at all. If this girl only appeared in this period of NPC, then the players after the game operation certainly have no place to find her.

Or is there something wrong with this?

"I get it, Mr. Rhodes."

Lijie nodded when she heard Rhode's words, but she hesitated for a while and asked Rhode her own question curiously.

"But Mr. Rhode...you seem to be very familiar with this kind of thing?"

"I've dealt with similar situations before, and I've gotten used to it."

Hearing Lijie's inquiry, Rhode raised his eyebrows and then answered.

"But that happened a long time ago..."

Speaking of this, Rhode sighed, then he turned his head and looked out the hole.

The rain is still falling, and the dense sound of rain is getting louder and louder, like a fierce symphony.

"Anyway, there's nothing to say, so you can go to a rest as soon as possible."

"It's...Mr. Rhodes."

Lijie paused after hearing Rhode's answer. At that moment, she was sure that she had noticed a trace of nostalgia in Rhode's eyes. However, the girl did not ask any more questions in the end, but nodded, turned around quietly and left.
