Chapter 445: Underground City (IX)
After listening to Melzer's story, Rhode's question was finally answered. Although he was just a trial angel, he was an angel after all, and there was no problem with the group of miscellaneous soldiers at the door. However, because of this, this group of guys who were not qualified to enter this dungeon accidentally entered. If there was no war angel on the side, they would probably retreat at the gate - why should they fall to this point?
Rhodes did not believe all about Melze's statement, but he did not doubt it too much, because Rhodes remembered very clearly that when he and others killed the undead BOSS, he did summon a group of mercenary undeads to fight with two angel undeads. Well... now it seems that the master is the ones in front of him.
"So, what are your plans next?"
"this……………"
When Metzel heard Rhode's inquiry, he showed some difficulty on his face. Although it was common sense that he was lucky to be able to save his life now, and it was rare to walk away from the gates of hell. Now he should be the most correct choice. However, a human being is a creature with insufficient greed. Seeing Rhode and others at this moment, Metzel couldn't help but hesitate. After all, he was just a young man who had just come out to take risks, and his sense of honor and responsibility in his heart had not been smoothed out by the strict life experience. If it were those veterans who had been through many battles, they would have left decisively except for thanking them for their gratitude. After all, life is his own, and there is only one time, and there is no need to waste it for others. What's more, they are already in danger for this and it is rare to escape. Now they have to take the initiative to join in it. They will not think about such idiotic things.
But Metzel did not do this. Of course, he knew what to do was the most correct one. His companions were exhausted and there was no point in staying here. But what about those companions who were captured by the Necromancer? So what about them? They followed them to the Caster Plateau by following them. Now they are in danger, which is also their own responsibility. Can they just let go?
It has to be said that a leader without responsibility can be a headache, but being too responsible is not a good thing. Metzel is hesitant here, and his expression on his face is naturally taken into consideration by Rhodes, but he did not say anything. After all, Rhodes just asked casually, no matter what choice Metzel makes next, it has nothing to do with him.
Not long after, Metzel seemed to have made a decision. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then he raised his head and looked at Rhodes.
"Please forgive me for being rude, Mr. Rod, I would like to ask. What are you here for?"
"I think you may not know yet. This is the ruins of the Caster Plateau, the location of the five-star mission designated by the Mercenary Association. We came here to complete this mission. This is the obligation of our Starlight Guild."
“Five-star mission………!”
Hearing this, Metzel couldn't help but be stunned. Then his face immediately turned pale. Although he was just the captain of a free mercenary squad that was not even a regular system, he still knew the mercenary mission. The five-star mission was almost difficult to reach the sky. He had already noticed that this underground ruin was not that simple, but now it seemed that this might be even more difficult than he had imagined. But even so, Metzel still gritted his teeth and looked at Rhodes.
"Mr. Rod, I have an uninvited love..."
"I know what you want to say."
Rhode interrupted Metzel's speech without hesitation.
"But this is not my problem. What you want to do is your own business, as long as it doesn't interfere with us. And we won't take special care of you. If you want to die, then we will never stop you."
Hearing this sentence, a light suddenly lit up in Metzel's eyes, and then he saluted Rhode solemnly, then turned around.
"Xia Li."
"Mezer?"
Hearing Metzel's call, a girl who was helping her companion bandage her wounds quickly turned her head and stood up. She was wearing light leather armor, with a wide wooden bow on her back, and an exquisite dagger inserted into her waist. She looked like a very formal dress of a ranger--well, at least more formal than Labis. After hearing Metzel's voice, the girl named Xia Li quickly came to him and looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
Facing the girl's inquiry, Metzel did not give an answer immediately. Instead, he reached into his arms, took out a purse, and put it in Xia Li's hand. The girl took the purse with confusion and looked at Metzel curiously, not knowing what he was planning to do.
"Xia Li, I will continue to move forward next. You can take the others back. This wallet is the money we have accumulated so far. Originally, I planned to expand the team. If I could apply to become a formal mercenary group, it would be great. But now, it doesn't make sense. Take them back, and then distribute the money there, and then disband our team. As for those sacrificed companions, I will also ask you to give compensation to their families... All I can do now is this."
"What did you say?"
Hearing Metzel's words, the girl opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the young man in front of her in disbelief.
"Mezer, are you crazy? Keep going? What a joke? Isn't what we just happened to?"
"But……………"
"I know what you want to say, but Metzel, that's not your responsibility. None of us knows that there is a powerful necromancer here, and he is so powerful that he can't even defeat the Angel of War. So what's the point if you go in? I understand that you have a strong sense of responsibility, but you should not only think about those who were arrested, but also think about those of us who stayed! At the beginning, everyone responded to your call and wanted to go out for adventure, so they gathered together and formed a mercenary team. And at that time we all said it very clearly. Life and death are based on fate, and we will never regret it, but now... are you going to abandon us?"
Wow……This eight o'clock TV series is worth it.
Rhode stared at the two people in front of him with interest, and even took a few steps back, leaned against the wall next to him to appreciate it leisurely. At this moment, attracted by the quarrel between them, Anne also jumped to Rhode. She tilted her head, looked at the two people curiously, and then asked Rhode.
"Captain. What are they doing? It seems like they are arguing?"
"Shhh... shut up and look at it carefully, it's quite interesting."
Facing Annie's inquiry, Rhode pretended to be mysterious and stretched out a finger to put it beside her mouth. Seeing Rhode's movements, Annie couldn't help but feel curious. She nodded and stopped talking, and began to concentrate on the scene in front of her.
This is really a soap opera. And it is a third-rate. There is nothing to describe the dispute between the two. Although the girl named Xia Li strongly opposed it, Metzel was also a elm-headed person and was unwilling to give up his companions no matter what. In his words, it was to meet people alive and die to see corpses. In any case, he could not give up. Even if they were transformed into monsters by the evil necromancer, he would have to confirm with his own eyes. For Rhodes, the two argued that the two were really boring, but it was rare that there was a live version of the soap romance drama, so naturally they would not watch it. Anne also watched it with relish. It seemed that as long as it was a woman, no matter how time and space changed, there would always be some essential things that would never change.
"This is my duty as the captain."
"Fool!!"
Facing Metzel's remarkable answer, the girl shouted angrily, and then she suddenly reached out and slapped Metzel in the face.
"Bang!!"
The crisp sound even made the bystander Rhode and Anne shrink their heads involuntarily. At this time, Xia Li turned around and left angrily and returned to the other companions. On Metzel's face, it was red and swollen at this time, and it seemed that he was injured farther heavier than when he faced the undead army. While he stroked his cheek awkwardly, he looked at Xia Li who was leaving, but he was a little reluctant...
This episode ends. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next episode.
Seeing this, Rhode shrugged his shoulders and planned to turn around and leave. The rest had reached a section. Although the necro creatures had been divided and surrounded, they had no time to watch the third-rate soap love drama here. Just as Rhode turned around, a tall figure blocked his way. It was the Battle Angel who had been with Metzer and others before. Metzer said that his name was Delno, an intern War Angel. Although he had not yet become a regular person, no matter how Rhode looked at it, he felt that this intern War Angel was much more mature than the decent War Angel of Celia. If measured by the age standards of humans, then he was probably around middle-aged. Seeing Rhode turn around, the Battle Angel stretched out his right hand and pressed it on his chest, and then bowed respectfully.
"I would like to express my gratitude for your help, humanity."
Delno's voice was a little stiff and expressionless, but even so, Rhode still heard a dangerous breath from his tone. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and began to carefully examine the battle angel in front of him. After Delno expressed his gratitude to Rhode, he immediately raised his head with a sharp light in his eyes. Then, he looked at Rhode seriously and asked.
"But, humans, why do you act with the evil devil?"
Sure enough, it's here.
Hearing the War Angel's inquiry, Rhode raised his brow. He had thought that this possibility would be possible. After all, the evil aura of anti-necromancer used by Selestina was too heavy, and even humans could feel strange, let alone the War Angel, who was extremely sensitive to the devil. To be honest, it was a very polite move for the other party to declare war on Selestina regardless of life and death. If it were an ordinary War Angel, I would have cut it down without saying a word now.
However, Rhodes didn't have time to answer, but a scent came from behind him.
"This is the master's business, what does it have to do with you? A chick with wings?"
Selestina raised her head proudly and stared at the Angel of War in front of her with a little contempt. She snorted coldly, pulled the thorn whip in her hands with force, making a loud flapping sound. The action made Rhode recall something very, very unsuitable for public disclosure. Not only that, Selestina was also stretching out the pair of black wings behind her as if she was deliberately stimulating the poor Angel of War.
"It's just a little chicken who is underage. He actually has the courage to talk to me in front of my host. What are you?!"
"evil!"
Hearing Selestina's words, the Battle Angel finally couldn't help but shout angrily. He suddenly jumped backwards. Then he raised the long sword in his hand high, and soon, the sacred flames burned on the sword. Although he was exhausted before, now, facing an existence that was even more evil than the necro creature, the Battle Angel seemed to have planned to burn his life to eliminate evil.
However, for Selestina, the "glowing chicken" in front of her obviously would not pose any threat to her. She just snorted coldly, then waved her right hand, and soon, the long whip of thorns flew out of her hand and quickly stretched out. The unlucky angel of war had not yet reacted. The long sword in his hand and his hands and feet were firmly tied together by the long whip. Even the flames that were originally burning on the sword were extinguished again at this moment, and replaced by dark and thick fog.
“Woo…………………………………………”
It was obvious that Selestina's evil power was far above Delno. At this moment, the battle angel was unable to resist Selestina's invasion. His face became paler and paler. His hands began to tremble. Not only that, there were also darkness on the pure white sword at this moment.
"You...evil......"
Seeing the black on his sword, the face of the Zhan Angel darkened. He gritted his teeth, and the pain and hesitation that had originally appeared on his face was immediately replaced by anger. Then he shouted angrily. The white flame that had already been extinguished appeared on the sword again. However, compared with the burning appearance before, the current sacred fire seemed like a small flame trembling in the cold wind. It was almost completely extinguished.
At this moment, everyone around was already scared by the scene in front of him. Metzel and others stood there blankly, watching the confrontation between them and didn't know what to do. After all, they were humans, and they did not have the natural hatred and displeasure of evil like the war angel. Not to mention that Selestina is a high-level devil. Even if she restrained her charm, she is now a very beautiful girl in the eyes of everyone. People are always deceived by their eyes. Seeing such a beautiful image, it is really hard to believe that this beautiful girl will be an evil and terrible devil. But the pair of dark wings behind Selestina will undoubtedly tell everyone that she is indeed a member of the eternal evil and darkness.
Not to mention that these people were saved from the threat of the Necromancers and now they have to stand up to fight their saviors. These relatively naive rookies and mercenaries really can't do such a thing. But on the other hand, Delno is also their benefactor. If he hadn't been there, he would probably have been completely finished if he couldn't hold on to Rhodes and the others. Now which side should we help?
The mercenaries were hesitating, and Annie stood on the other side and clapped her hands, as if she was watching the second episode of the TV series, and she had no intention of finding out what to watch the fun next to her. Fortunately, not everyone was so heartless.
"Swish!!"
A dazzling white light flashed by, and the thorny whip that originally bound the Battle Angel was divided into two. At this moment, the Battle Angel, who had enough strength to fight against the evil, seemed to be unable to support it. He shook his whole body and half knelt on the ground.
"Let's just stop here."
Celia took back her sword and looked at Celestina in front of her with a little reproachful look.
"It is not the time to do this kind of thing. We still have to continue to eliminate threats for our masters, right? It is better not to waste unnecessary time here."
"snort."
Seeing Celia taking action, Selestina calmed down a little, but her eyes still swept over the angel half kneeling on the ground with dissatisfaction.
"Celia, it's not that Miss I can't understand your feelings and thoughts about your stupid aftermath, but for me, this guy's blasphemy against me is an unforgivable felon, let alone that he actually wanted to threaten my master and commit such disrespectful crimes, and should have apologized for death!"
Speaking of this, Selestina's mouth raised slightly, and then a sarcastic smile flashed in her eyes.
"That's it. It's not impossible to ask Miss to forgive him, but he must apologize to Miss... By the way, just let him lick my shoes clean. How about it?"
"you………………!!"
As soon as Selestina said this, the air around her suddenly solidified. At this moment, even Metzel and others felt the dark, evil, but full of temptation. It was like a tempting drug to fall into the abyss. She knew that the end was absolutely destruction, but she had no choice. Just like now, looking at the girl in black, even if she knew that she would be ridiculed and insulted by her kneeling in front of her, when she saw her slender and beautiful feet, she couldn't help but want to fall to the ground and do anything for her, as long as she could kiss her, and even let them kill each other.
But for the angels of war, this fatal temptation is the source of sin.
"You evil one..."
"Sister!!"
Celia also noticed the aura that Selestina deliberately emitted, and couldn't help but scream helplessly. When she heard her call, Selestina smiled softly.
"What, you want to resist me? Celia? In this case?"
"It is precisely because of this situation that I think you two should take a break, too?"
Just as Selestina asked coldly, suddenly, an extremely leisurely voice came from the side, and then Qi Lian's figure quietly appeared and appeared between the two.
"The master summoned you out not to see you quarrel here. Can you stop here?" {Piaotian Wenxue Thanks to all book friends for their support. Your support is our greatest motivation}
