Chapter 174: Before Departure

"Let Anne go?"

Hearing Rhode call his name, Anne turned her head curiously, then thought for a while, then nodded. The latest chapter of the Holy Church

"No problem, leader, you can go wherever you ask Anne to go."

After saying this, Anne focused on the food in front of her and started her struggle again. It seemed that for the girl, she really didn't care what Rhode asked her to do. Anyway, she would do it, so she would do it right. As for why it was herself, what did they do, does it matter to Anne? If you have time to think about this problem, it would be better to solve the bread in front of you.

"Do you need me to go with me too? Mr. Rhode?"

Lijie and Marlene looked at each other, and then the former spoke in a low voice.

"No."

Rhode shook his head. The Black Pine Ruins were not troublesome, and there were no undead creatures. It was also a waste of Lijie, a spirit master, to follow him. Originally, Rhode didn't plan to bring Anne with him, but the Mystery Ball could not be held by himself with his strength. Although the name of the Mystery Ball doesn't sound very big, but the ping-pong ball is a ball, the blue ball is a ball, and the moon is also a ball... Rhode didn't think he could have the ability to pick up the moon. Originally, when he went to get the Mystery Ball in the game, he needed a high-weight character. Rhode had no barbarians under his command, but Anne's half-beast was not bad either...at least he was much stronger than himself.

"I hope you take good care of Christie these days. She has just arrived here, so there must be many places that are not used to it. You are all girls, and I think you should be more clear about her thoughts."

"OK."

Hearing this, Lijie hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. (") She didn't think there was any problem with Rhode's arrangement. In fact, Lijie herself also wanted to stay with Christie. However, this little girl seemed to be a little unadapted to the new environment and subconsciously kept a certain distance from them. Only when she was around Rhode, she would let her be cautious, so Rhode spoke now to let Lijie get closer to Christie more legitimately.

“When will you set out?”

Marlene looked at Anne, who probably didn't take anything seriously except the food on the plate, and asked this question instead.

"I'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll ask Lando to buy two boat tickets later. If any news comes from the government official, I'll just say I'm not here and I'll talk about anything when I come back."

During this period, Rhodes had also reported to Clauze about Gaoya Village. As for what Clauze wanted to do and what he did, it was his business and had nothing to do with him. Anyway, the task was completed, even if the idiots in Gaoya Village wanted to go home to find their mother crying, that was their business, but it was hard to say whether they had the courage or not.

"I see."

Hearing Rhode's answer, Marlene nodded slightly and stopped talking. But at this moment, Rhode saw Christy holding the water cup in her hand and looking at him uneasy. A trace of attachment and reluctance appeared in her eyes.

"…Rod… are you leaving?"

"I'm just going out to do something."

Faced with Christy's uneasy inquiries, Rhode gave her a comforting smile, and then continued to speak.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

"………Um………"

In the face of Rhode's answer, Christie nodded and said nothing more. "In fact, the girl's own mood is also very complicated now. When she was in Gaoya Village, she had never encountered any good things. The girl was used to such a life and would not have any ideas because of it. Without expectations, there would be no harm. Since Christie never expected the villagers to treat herself kindly one day, she would not feel sad because they would punch and beat her. Even the old village chief was the same, although it was because of his upbringing that Christie had survived the most difficult period.

But after that, the old village chief ignored her and treated her as air. Christie had already accepted her life. Although it seemed to others that such a life was simply a pain. But for Christie, if she got used to it, it would be nothing. It was like a person who was born in an extremely cold place in the snow and snow. If someone who came from a warm place would definitely feel cold to death. But for those who were born here, they were already used to this cold and were not disgusted with it except that they felt that something was inconvenient.

But now, the girl feels that her life is a bit painful.

Indeed, everyone was very nice to her, but the better they treated her, the more afraid Christie felt. Since her birth, the girl had never tasted the warmth of the world, but when it comes to indifference and pain, she probably knew more than anyone in the Starlight Mercenary Group. Christie knew how cruel people could be, and what they would do if they really hated themselves. This made her very worried and scared. Now Lijie, Anne and Marlene are all gentle to her, and even Christie has never enjoyed such warmth. But the more this happens, the more she is afraid whether she can accept such a blow if they abandon themselves in the future.

This kind of worry is unnecessary to ordinary people, but it is a smooth thing for Christie. Many people are born with their parents' shouts and friends' surroundings and grow up in a warm environment. Of course, they may have encountered various sufferings in the future, but the warmth they enjoyed since birth still makes them kind. But Christie is different. She has been disgusted, cursed, hated, insulted and beaten from birth. If she was replaced by others, it is not surprising that she is full of hatred in her heart, not to mention despair of the world. It is already very rare for Christie to have a pure heart...

So whenever Lijie and the others showed a gentle attitude to Christie, and the girl wanted to respond, she would instinctively start to worry about this problem - the instinct of human self-defense made the girl hesitate to the friendly hand that others extended. She was worried that she would suffer after she was involved. Since that was the case, keeping a distance from the beginning might even make herself hurt a little lighter...

Only in front of Rhodes would Christie not have such thoughts. Only when she saw him would Christie let go of the problem that had been tangled in her heart. For some reason, Christie was not at all prepared for this person who looked almost exactly the same as her. She felt that staying by Rhodes was a very comfortable thing, and she would not think about it, which made her feel very comfortable.

Because of this, Christie actually didn't want Rhode to leave, but because of her experience, the girl was much precocious than many of her peers. So Christie knew that she shouldn't be willful at this time, so she just nodded and didn't say much, but her expression obviously became low.

Rhode also felt a little embarrassed when he took Christie's expression into his eyes, but he still didn't say much. Feeling and reason are two different things. He will go out longer in the future. Christie cannot be with him forever, and her physical fitness also determines that Christie is unlikely to even go far...

But now Rhodes has no better way. Although he is sorry for Christy, he can only do this.

The next morning, Rhodes took Anne to the "port" outside the upper area of ​​Deep Rock City.

On the surface, the port here seems to be no different from other places. Boats are moored in it, with thick and long cables hanging from the ship and hanging on stone pillars to maintain the balance of the hull. A series of sampans connect the hull to the port, and workers carry specialties such as ore onto the ship with cargo or trucks, while those carriages are parked on the other side, waiting for goods such as vegetables and fruits transported from the ship.

Everything seems to be no different from the lively trading ports of other commercial cities - if they are ignored, they are built on the hillside.

In the game, Rhodes was once amazed by this spectacular scene, but he didn't think it was so strange. The game was really data. What was strange about the ones flying downstream from the sky? But now in reality, when he stood in this lively port and looked at these ships floating in the air, Rhodes felt that this was really incredible. Just watching the ships floating in the air, but there was no power system to maintain their float. Only a rope was tied to Rhodes, Rhodes felt that this thing was too unreliable. What if these ships fell?

He looked at the floating boat not far away, shook his head, then pulled up his cloak to cover his face. He didn't want to cause any trouble when he went out this time, so Rhode planned to act low-key, and he also knew that his face always caused trouble for him. Since childhood, his teachers always regarded him as a girl, and his peers always regarded him as a girl. It was not until the game that Rode was comfortable that he could choose to build a burly man role without worrying about being regarded as a woman. This is also one of the reasons why he is very passionate about the Dragon Soul World. At least in this virtual world, no one will make his gender wrong...

As a result, after going around for a while, Rhodes found himself tragic again...

He couldn't redesign the characters like in the game, and he could only try to find less trouble in this way. However, Rhode actually didn't have much time to think about his past and present, because there was a very lively guy around him...

"Ah, Commander, Anne has found our ship!"

Anne ran around Rhode with a long golden shield on her back and excitedly, then she stretched out her hand and pointed to a ship not far away. Looking in the direction of her finger, Rhode soon saw a two-story passenger ship, which was quietly floating in the port, and the upright flag was embroidered with a golden wing pattern. After Rode looked at the pattern, he lowered his head and looked at the same pattern on the ticket in his hand.

It's it.
