Sitting on the chair, Rhode stared coldly at Anne standing in front of him, restlessly tugging her hands. The girl looked a little embarrassed at this moment. Not only was her hair and cheeks covered with dust, but she could even see some bruises and scars of collisions on her body. Although the matter did not develop in a strange direction like the "Mysterious Carriage Serial Killing Incident", the current development is not a very fortunate thing for Rhode.

"Thank you so hard, Anne, how did you feel along the way?"

Facing Anne in front of him, Rhode had no good expression at all. He just stared at the girl in front of him coldly, and then asked half-depressedly. When he heard Rhode's inquiry, Anne couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

"Okay, it's okay, the team leader... is a little better than I thought..."

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense to you right now."

Rod frowned suddenly, then he reached out and knocked on the table. His tone became colder and tougher.

"I remember that I had ordered you to stay in the fortress, why didn't you listen to my orders?"

“This…because………………………”

When Anne heard Rhode's inquiry, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, under Rhode's questioning, Anne finally confessed everything very readily. Although Rhode did strictly prohibit her from leaving the fortress before, for Anne, she really didn't want to take on those troublesome and trivial tasks, so in the end, Anne sneaked into the back box of the carriage while Rhode was not paying attention and set off with them.

It has to be said that Anne's decision requires great courage. Although the carriage that Mays gave to Rhodes was specially made, the space like the trunk was never very large. In addition, there were also travel clothes and boxes, as well as some tools for repairing the carriage and dirty and rags. The smell of dust and greasiness was even more unbearable. The narrow space was also a torture for the tall Anne. She almost curled herself tightly into a ball. Then she barely stuffed herself into the back box.

It has to be said that this was definitely a pain for Anne, not to mention that because of the rush to travel, Rhode did not stop and rest all the way. Even Rhode, who was sitting on the soft and comfortable cushion, could not stand the bumpy road, let alone Anne squeezed into the hard back box. The bumps along the way also made the girl's body full of bruised scars. If Anne had not been awakened by elemental awakening and possessed the wind element protection, she would probably have been half a life in this carriage. By that time, even if there was a rejuvenated detective, she would not be able to clean up Rhode's murder suspect.

"Where are those mercenaries?"

"Anne is left to Uncle Mafa to manage. Anyway, Uncle Mafa is so steady. It is definitely no problem to control those mercenaries."

"Have you talked to him in person?"

Rhode was surprised to hear Anne's confident answer. Although he didn't have much contact with Mafa, in Rhode's eyes, this middle-aged mercenary still had his own persistence and calmness. He shouldn't have agreed to Anne's strange request. If this is true, then Rhode would have really missed it. Or, did Anne use the beauty trick?

"Um."

When Anne nodded for granted when she heard Rhode's inquiry.

"Of course Annie has talked to the uncle and said that Annie can't do it well, just leave it to the uncle. Annie wants to find the team leader. But she was scolded by the uncle......"

"Then what?"

"Annie was afraid of being scolded again, so she left a note for the uncle and then ran out secretly!"

After saying this, she proudly straightened her body, as if she wanted to receive a reward. Rhodes had no strength to sigh - she could show such confidence when she neglected her duties. Is she hoping that I would praise her or why?

"You once again violated my orders, Anne, aren't you afraid that I'll expel you from the guild?"

Looking at the proud girl in front of him, Rhodes was not soft-hearted, but still asked seriously. When he heard Rhodes's words, the proud and proud girl just now lowered her head in depression.

"Of course, Annie is afraid of being driven away by the commander."

"Then are you still following?"

"But Annie feels that it's more comfortable to be with the regiment commander. It's really boring to train mercenaries in the fortress!"

Although Rhode's first idea is to immediately turn Anne and leave and return to the fortress. But soon he found that this idea was unrealistic at all. From Anne's actions this time, she really dared to do anything without watching herself. This time she wanted to send Anne back to the fortress, unless Rhode followed her from beginning to end, he could be sure that Anne would follow her secretly after leaving. This was definitely not a difficult task for her. But for Rhode, he didn't have time to send Anne back to the fortress. What he lacked the most now was time. Rhode was not willing to waste time on such a meaningless run. Not to mention, he was not interested in running back and forth for such a painful journey.

However, looking at Anne in front of him, Rhode didn't know what to say.

He already understood that it was useless to say that to Anne. The girl's way of thinking was very different from that of ordinary humans. She did not respect traditions and did not like rules. Although she had considerable strength, the girl mostly relied on her intuition to make judgments and understanding. Before traveling through time, Rhode had watched some similar existences on TV programs, which were children who were abandoned by humans when they were young and raised by wild animals. When they returned to human society again, most of them were not as adapted to human life.

Anne's performance obviously also belongs to this category. Her views on responsibility, loyalty, and even emotions are different from normal humans. Compared to thinking and logic, Anne prefers to do things according to her intuition. Just like this time, she herself admitted that she was afraid of being kicked out of the guild by Rhode, but rational thinking did not stop her instinctive action. Anne just felt comfortable staying with Rhode, so she came without hesitation. As for whether she would be hated by Rhode or even kicked out of the guild, it seemed that this girl didn't care at all. But if she thought about it carefully, this was in line with Anne's usual style. Originally, the reason why Rhode wanted to keep Anne in the fortress this time was to try to cultivate her awareness and sense of responsibility for the group, but now it seems that Rhode's experiment was obviously a failure.

“Haah………………”

Looking at Anne in front of him, Rhode didn't know how to scold him. In the end, he could only sigh helplessly. Since his experiment failed, Rhode had no choice but to accept this reality and take Anne on the road. Fortunately, Anne's strength was not as good as Rhode's retreat. Judging from the level, she was only three levels away from Rhode at most, and for Anne now, the training method in the fortress could no longer keep up with her requirements. On the contrary, the battle like Custer ruins could improve her strength. Rhode had originally considered whether to bring Anne with him, but in the end, in order to take the overall situation, he gave up.

But Rhode didn't expect that he would take into account the overall situation. Anne completely gave up on the overall situation-she had never considered the overall situation at all.

"Group...Captain?"

Looking at Rhode, Anne showed a disquiet expression, and she raised her head uneasy and stared at Rhode.

"If I want you to go back now, I think you definitely don't plan to go back?"

"Of course, the leader, Annie must still want to follow the leader!"

As soon as she said this, Annie immediately raised her head proudly. After a second, the girl found that her reaction seemed to be inappropriate, so she lowered her head again.

"Sorry. Commander, but Annie..."

"Okay, don't say anything."

Rhode was already amused by Anne's actions. He knew that he had done something wrong, but he was so righteous and proud... The lady was really... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wave helplessly.

"This time you can stay, Anne, but I will first make it clear to you that once you join, then from today you must follow my instructions and if you violate any of my orders, I will expel you from the guild immediately and never want to see you again, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, leader! Annie can guarantee that Annie will definitely listen to the leader! There will be no problem at all!"

Hearing Rhode's answer, Anne immediately showed an excited and cheerful smile, and then she immediately rushed to Rhode and hugged the man in front of her. Then she couldn't wait to make a promise to Rhode that her performance even made Rode doubt whether Anne had only heard the first half of her words and completely blocked the threat behind her to the point outside her ears?

But it doesn't make sense to say this now. Rhode pushed away the girl who hugged her tightly without changing his face, and then made a gesture.

"Okay, go take a shower and clean yourself up. After staying in the back box for so long, you must be tired too. Let's take a break early today."

"Okay, leader, Annie is going now!"

After hearing Rhode's words, Anne immediately raised her right hand excitedly and answered to Rhode. Then the girl ran out of the room.

Looking at the shaking door, Rhode reached out and pressed his forehead. At this moment, Qi Lian, who had been watching the show next to him, finally stood up and came to Rhode.

"Huhuhuhu, I really didn't expect that there would be someone who would give you such a headache."

"I'm just a little helpless, and it's not a headache."

Hearing Qilian's ridicule, Rhode couldn't help but look up and replied coldly. Qilian didn't seem to care about Rhode's answer. She just chuckled and then looked out the door thoughtfully.

"So, Master, if Miss Anne violates your order, do you really want to expel her from the guild?"

Faced with Qi Lian's question, Rhode did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the window.

"I think you should know my choice, don't you?"

Then, Rhode spoke. {Piaotianwen Thanks to all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
