The cold night wind blew.

Rhodes stood on the balcony on the second floor, quietly staring at the beautiful scenery of the Deep Rock City in front of him. At the edge of the dark and huge mine pit, lights of flames were connected into a bright necklace, which looked so dazzling and charming under the dark sky. The sound of wind, water flow and the noise from afar formed a brand new world.

Every time this time, Rhodes felt extremely clearly that this was the world he existed.

"Ka, da."

There were crisp footsteps, but Rhode did not turn back. The other party did not speak, but walked to Rhode and looked at the scenery in front of him. After a while, Marin's crisp and nice voice appeared in Rhode's ears.

"I've heard about you from Lijie, thank you."

"I don't seem to do anything worthy of your thanks."

Rhode said without looking back.

"You saved Lijie, which is very important to me."

Marlin stretched out her hand and sorted out her long hair. She raised her head and looked at the back of the man in front of her with a complicated expression.

"She is my only friend. From the past to now, I have only her. If she dies..." Marin didn't continue to say this, but Rhode already understood what she meant.

"Do you know Lijie's past?"

"If she's willing to say something, I think she'll tell me."

Faced with the girl's rhetoric, Rhode did not answer positively, but shrugged his shoulders and gave a vague answer. When he heard Rhode's answer, Marin didn't say anything more. She quietly stared at the back of the man in front of her and gritted her teeth. Although Lijie told her that Rhode was a very easy person to get along with, as far as Marin's "personal experience" was concerned, she really couldn't see what was the beautiful guy who looked like a woman easy to get along with...

"………I have decided, Mr. Rhodes. I will promise you the conditions and hope you can let me stay."

"oh?"

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhode turned around.

"You decided?"

"Yes."

Facing Rhode's inquiring gaze, Marin raised her head proudly. Although she lost a bad match with Rhode, the girl also knew her shortcomings because of this. Although she still didn't believe that Rhode could give her any good suggestions and opinions, since she could not do it, she would simply accept other people's opinions.

Since you have made a decision, you will never regret it. This is exactly where Marlene's pride lies.

"very good."

Rhode didn't say much about the girl's transformation, he just nodded slightly.

"Have your injury healed?"

"…………alright."

Speaking of this, Marin's originally calm expression changed slightly, and she immediately subconsciously pressed her wrist. The injury there was not serious, and after Lijie's treatment, she even left a scar. However, the injury this time caused Marin to be very severe. Even when she thinks about it, she still feels a little painful on her arm.

"You had a chance to defeat me."

Rhodes' unexpected words made Marlene look up in surprise and stare at him in surprise. For some reason, this man suddenly said this.

"Your injury is not serious. If you could seize the opportunity and fight back against me at that time, you would not fail so quickly. But you gave up the great opportunity to fight back because of a little bit of life-threatening injury, and put yourself in an increasingly dangerous situation."

After hearing this, Marlene's face turned slightly red. After that, she recalled the battle between her and Rhodes several times. Marlene did find that if she could remain calm, although she might not be able to defeat this strange young man, she could guarantee that she would not be defeated so miserably. However, after being injured, she lost her calmness and had no idea what to do, which led to a later miserable defeat. Indeed, just as Rhodes said, a small injury on her arm was nothing at all, but because of this small injury, she almost gave her life...

"I understand what you mean, thank you, Mr. Rhode."

"You're welcome, I'm just talking casually."

After saying this, Rhode turned around again, and this time Marlene hesitated and was silent for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Mr. Rhode, I heard... you are from Dongfangshanhara."

“Yes, is there any problem?”

"No...I just want to..."

The girl opened her mouth, but in the end, she still couldn't express her inner doubts.

"It's okay, then I'll say goodbye first, good night, Mr. Rhode."

It should be impossible. According to the information, that family had already perished a long time ago.

Marlene shook her head and threw the idea behind her. Then she lifted her skirt and bowed to Rod, then planned to turn around and leave.

And at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rose up on the ground, scaring the girl.

"Hey, that damn boy, where are you? I'm here!!"

When he walked to the door, Rhode soon saw the old Walker standing there. At this time, the old man had no longer had the lazy and decadent she had in the tavern a few days ago. His dirty clothes had also been replaced with an old but very clean leather armor. His thick wooden longbow and quiver were behind him. He looked particularly energetic. Of course, the stinky face that looked like someone else owed him money.

"I thought you wouldn't come, Mr. Walker."

Although Old Walker's face clearly showed a dissatisfaction expression, Rhode completely ignored it. He walked to the old man, swept him, and then nodded.

"Twenty minutes left...well, welcome to my mercenary group. From today on, you will be a full member of the mercenary group."

"Don't be too proud, boy."

Hearing Rhode's words, Old Walker replied coldly.

"I want to see how failures you, the arrogant guy, will be. Humph, by that time, I will laugh at you and let you, an ignorant brat, experience how cruel reality is for yourself!"

"Only the weak will think that reality is cruel."

Faced with Old Walker's provocation, Rhode replied without caring at all, which made the old man roll his eyes unhappily. Then he glanced at Marlene, who was standing at the door with obvious dissatisfaction, and curled his lips.

"Who is this girl? Your woman? She looks good, but her face is a little stinky..."

"you………!!"

Hearing this, Marlin couldn't help it. Because of Old Walker's loud voice, she had already classified the other party as those rude and rude guys. Now, when he heard that he dared to say such words, it was even more unbearable for the eldest lady from a noble family.

"That's rude, I..."

"This is Miss Marlene Shania, a former acquaintance of Lijie. She will temporarily join our mercenary group to act together."

However, it was obvious that Rhodes did not intend to give Marine a chance to vent her anger. Before Marine spoke, he waved his hand and interrupted the other party. Then he reached out and made an invitation gesture to the old man.

"So Mr. Walker, it's too late today. I'll prepare a room for you and have some rest. We'll set out early in the morning to head to Pavel Cemetery."

"Of course it's okay, boy, do you think I'm... waiting!!"

After halfway through the conversation, the old man realized the problem. He stared at Rhode in surprise, and then jumped up like a cat with only his tail stepped on.

"Paville Cemetery? What are we doing in that haunted place?! Did you take that damn mission?"

"certainly."

Faced with Old Walker's questioning, Rhode raised his eyebrows.

"What's the nerve that you are like!! You actually took on this kind of task! Why didn't you tell me at the beginning?"

"It's very simple. First, when we went to find you, I hadn't taken over the task. Second, even if we took over it, you were not a member of our mercenary group at that time, and I don't think it's necessary to tell you."

"You...you...you...you..."

Old Walker pointed at Rhode angrily, and even his hands were trembling slightly from anger.

"You actually played with me, I'll stop doing it!"

"Please."

Faced with the old man's roar and threat, Rhode didn't even raise his eyelids. He knew that the old man was actually just a trembling man. If he didn't clean up, he wouldn't obey his orders at all, so he would just not be polite to him from the beginning, so he would do as he followed his instructions. What's more, even if the old man really left angry, Rhode didn't care. He already had the plan to challenge the cemetery at least two people, and Marlene's joining was also a very powerful help. In this case, it would be okay if Old Walker came or not.

"It's not strange for a turtle to be trustless."

"You...you......"

Hearing Rhode's sarcasm, Old Walker only felt his blood rushing up and almost fainted. At this moment, Marlene, who was standing at the door, chuckled "pop" and looked at Rhode with a touch of playful gaze.

Because Rhode always has a stern face on weekdays, Marin felt that he should be the kind of taciturn person. But when he really came into contact with him, the girl realized that this man was talking nonsense at all, and sometimes it was quite hurtful. Although Rhode was only a few years older than him, Marin felt that standing in front of him, she was always a dwarf. She had never felt this feeling in someone about the same age as her.

Perhaps that person is the only exception?

After glaring at Rhode for a moment, Old Walker finally gave up. He put down his hand and turned his head.

"Okay, boy, you won. I want to see how miserable you will die. I will go with you, but I want to first explain that if I find something wrong, I will turn around and leave immediately! Although I am old, I still don't want to hand over this life to you, a reckless young devil!"

“No problem.”

Rhode shrugged in the face of Old Walker's words.

"If you can do it, I have no objection."

What does he mean?

Hearing Rhode's answer, Old Walker looked at the young man standing in front of him in confusion and surprise. What does his words mean?
