"This lady... wants to join your mercenary group."

As the old man spoke, Rhode turned his gaze to the woman beside him, and under his gaze, the other party finally took off his cloak and revealed his true face.

It was a girl who looked only sixteen or seven years old.

Her delicate face, delicate facial features and beautiful long hair as white as snow looks particularly eye-catching, and her big burgundy eyes flashed with curiosity. Her face was filled with the unique confidence and pride of the nobles. Judging from the girl's exquisite collar and complex patterns on it, it was obvious that she should be the descendant of a certain nobleman.

"This lady is..."

Rhode frowned. He didn't want any unexpected situation.

"Hello, Mr. Rhode Elrant."

The girl Luoluo generously stretched out her hand and said with a smile.

"I am Marlene Shania. As you have heard, I hope to join your mercenary group and please give me this opportunity."

"Marin Shania?"

When Rhodes heard the girl telling her home, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The name Marlene Shania is not unfamiliar to Rhodes. In the game, this character is quite famous among players. She even has a nickname called "Queen of the Mercenary World". It is rumored that this lady is a spell genius. She had already broken through the limitations of the inner ring mage at the age of nineteen and established a mercenary group called "Ring of Freedom". It can be said that it is a talented girl in Moon's Duke. However, among players, this lady is not popular because it is rumored that she has a quirk - she hates men very much.

This is very obvious in the game. All the mercenaries in the Ring of Freedom are women, not even a man. And those male players who want to join are rejected, and even the mercenary group is limited to female players even if they release tasks. Even those male players who want to rely on their wealth to hire a few mercenaries were rejected. This also makes many players hate this woman. Therefore, most people do not have a high opinion of this mysterious secret, known as the "Queen of the Mercenary World", and even hate it a little.

Although he was hated by many players, Marlin's ending was a standard hero ending. When facing the attack of Night Country, she and her subordinates resisted Night Country's attack for three days and three nights outside the Golden City. Finally, she launched a suicide-style taboo spell under the siege of heavy troops and sacrificed her country. From this point of view, it is indeed awe-inspiring.

Although Rhode had heard of the lady's name, he had never met her because of his "male" identity. At this moment, he heard that the lady was actually in Shenshi City and wanted to join her mercenary group. This surprised Rhode. Didn't that lady hate men the most? How could she come up with her on her own initiative? Or did she regard herself as a woman? There shouldn't be such a strange thing.

Looking at Marlin's outstretched right hand, Rhode was also a little confused. Could it be that this is just a different person with the same name? It makes no sense. The other party is indeed surnamed Shania. Judging from her outfit, she does look like a noble family. However, the Shania family is far away in Golden City. The young lady was not at the Magic Academy, so she ran to the remote area of ​​Shenshi City, which was a remote place in Shenshi City? Was it responding to the call to go to the countryside?

"I've heard of your name, Miss Shania."

Rhode answered calmly, holding the other party's hand. He didn't know much about the story of this legendary character, and it was no different from other players, but he still knew the ordinary situation.

"If there is any offense, please forgive me, but......... You shouldn't be in the academy at this time..."

Hearing Rhode's question, a strange color flashed in Marlene and Old Hank's eyes.

The reason why Marlin found it interesting is that the other party knew his identity and even knew some of his own affairs. This shows that the rumors that the strange mercenary leader was a nobleman were indeed not wrong. The old man was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Rhode would actually be related to the nobles. Although many people have always had this kind of speculation, it is difficult to establish a tense without the support of actual evidence. Now, Rhode has finally shown his side as a noble. Just imagine, this kind of news will generally be circulated among the children of aristocrats. If Rhode is just an ordinary mercenary, it would be absolutely impossible to understand such things.

“That’s how it is.”

Perhaps because of confirmation that Rhodes is "her own person", the reserve and pride that Marlene showed at the beginning also disappeared a lot.

"My mentor believes that my strength has reached a stage at present. If I want to continue to improve, I need a certain degree of practical experience. Therefore, I asked Uncle Serek to give me this opportunity and let me come here for exercise."

It turns out that it has something to do with Serek.

Rhodes then suddenly realized that it was obvious that the Shania family sent their daughter to this ghost place because of the face of this swordsman. However, before that, Rhodes still had something to confirm.

"Miss Marlene."

Thinking of this, Rhodes withdrew his hand and his face slightly darkened.

"Since Uncle Hank brought you here, I think you should have learned about our situation from him. To be honest, we are indeed insufficient now, but because of this, it will be dangerous to follow us to do missions, especially since we have recently received a four-star mission. If there is any accident, it is very likely to be a catastrophe. In this case, are you willing to use your life as a bargaining chip to join my mercenary group?"

In the face of Rhode's inquiry, Marlene raised her chin slightly, showing a confident and cunning smile.

"Of course I can understand what you mean, Mr. Rhodes. But this is a good thing for me. Moreover, as a Central Witcher, I am still very confident in my strength."

Is it a good thing for her?

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rhode couldn't help but look at the old man in confusion. He had never had contact with the "Queen of the Mercenary World" in the game. Judging from the impression of the first meeting, this lady is a very autonomous and self-esteem person. However, what she said made Rhode a little confused. He couldn't figure out why a mercenary group that couldn't even get enough of the official number of people became a good thing for her?

Uncle Hank, who noticed Rhode's gaze, was suffering. He knew Marlene's identity and influence very well. A noble child came to a place like Deep Rock City alone. Although her strength is indeed not weak, sometimes mercenaries can see not only strength, but means. Even if you are a powerful mage and can kill countless enemies on the battlefield, you are still a woman after all. If you are drunk and dragged all over by those ill-hearted guys and thrown on the bed, it is useless to be a ** master, right? So the old Hank has always been very careful, and he is afraid that if something happens to this young lady, it will be difficult for him to do.

"First of all, since you have joined the mercenary group, then you are my subordinate."

Rhodes raised a finger.

"As a subordinate, you must obey my orders unconditionally. In the task, you can't do anything without my permission. Even if you want to make things convenient for such a small thing, you must report it to me in advance."

"you!"

Hearing this, Marlene's expression changed slightly, but before she could wait for her to say anything more, Rhode raised another finger.

"Second, although you have joined our mercenary group, we are not familiar with each other, because I don't think you can cooperate with our battle. So I ask you to completely obey my instructions in the battle, what I want you to do, what you must do. If I don't need your defense, even if the enemy is already in front of you, you will never be able to move!"

Speaking of this, Rhodes then put down his hand.

"This is my condition. If you can accept it, even if I welcome you to join my mercenary group."

“What if I violate it?”

The girl's face was already as deep as water at this moment. She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice.

"I will give up on you right away."

Rhode answered without hesitation.

"I have said before that this mission is very dangerous. If you can't do what I said, then we are likely to die there. So I have to make sure to minimize the possibility of all kinds of accidents. If you act without authorization and bring danger to us, then for us, giving up on you is the inevitable choice."

As Rhodes finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
