Chapter 48 Old Acquaintance
At this moment, Marlene's face was already cold. Since she was born, she has never been treated like this. As a rare magic genius in the family, both her parents, clan members, and even the teachers of the Magic Academy have always been polite to her. She is also very proud and confident. She is not like those wastes, she is forgetful and arrogant when she grows up in a state of luxury. She has always kept her family motto in mind and has never slacked off at all.
Regarding Rhode's request, Marin believed that although the first one was a bit difficult, he could still accept it. However, the second request he made was completely unacceptable to Marin!
Marlene has always been very confident in her strength. She has received the most formal magic education since she was six years old. It has been ten years since she was six. She has now broken through the limitations of the outer ring and entered the field of the Central ring. Although Marlene has not made much progress after entering the field of the Central ring, she is not worried. Just as her mentor said, what she lacks now is not knowledge, but practical experience. In terms of understanding spells, she is already able to have no big gap with her mentor.
And now, Rhodes' words are simply a naked denial of her efforts over the past ten years!
This is something that Marlene can't accept anyway.
"Mr. Rod, I can understand the first condition, but I cannot accept the second condition!"
Marlene raised her head proudly and stared at Rhode straight, without any wavering. Feeling her gaze, Rhode raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.
On the contrary, the old man on the side prayed in his heart, let’s talk break, let’s talk break, if the talk breaks, it’s okay if the talk breaks...
"Why?"
"Because you don't know my strength!"
Marlin said this with confidence. He could not see his strength at all when he met the other party for the first time. Moreover, she had heard from old Hank that this young man should be a swordsman rather than a mage. If he was a mage, then it would be fine to ask you to give me some advice because everyone was still walking with him. But you are a swordsman who was dancing with swords and guns to command the mage to fight? Do you really understand the situation?
Marin gritted her teeth. She really wanted to jump up and point at Rhode's nose and curse. However, in the end, the good tutoring cultivation still forced the girl to calm down. After all, the other party did not look angry. If she lost her composure, it would not have a good impact on the reputation of the Shania family. After all, as a family, her words and deeds were no longer just considering her own personal influence.
Faced with Marlene's rebuttal, Rhode stood up. This action made the old man happy. I think this stubborn little guy can't stand it anymore and plan to drive people away. Thank God, you'd better scold him hard. If this young lady was so angry that she left Deep Rock City and went home, it would be better... Thinking of this, Old Man also cooperated to stand up, intending to be a peacemaker before the two quarreled - but Rhode's next sentence immediately made Old Man almost vomit blood.
"So, let's try it."
"no problem!"
Marlin was simply, and when she heard this, she immediately stood up and nodded in agreement. No one noticed that the old man next to her was black and purple, purple and black, and the colorful ones were not sure what color they were going to turn into.
And just then, a voice came from the stairs.
"Mr. Rod, breakfast is ready, you are..."
While walking down the stairs, Lijie looked at the two people in the hall curiously. She looked at the old man in surprise, and then subconsciously moved her gaze to Marlin. The moment she saw the other person, Lijie suddenly stopped and stood there blankly.
"You are... Marlene?"
"Lijie!"
Marin looked in the sound, and after seeing Lijie standing by the stairs, her originally serious and cold face immediately thawed, and she turned cloudy and sunny, showing a bright smile like sunshine.
"Lijie! Is it Lijie? I really didn't expect to see you here! Where have you been going for so many years? I have been looking for you, but I can't find you. Why are you in Deep Rock City? Are you okay?"
The girl who was quite steady just now finally showed her cheerful and lively as she was at her age. Marlene trotted to Lijie, holding her hands excitedly and shaking them constantly. Facing Marlene's enthusiasm, Lijie's expression was a little awkward. She even glanced at Rhodes a few times, as if she was worried about something.
They know each other?
After taking the scene in front of him, Rhode felt a little surprised. To be honest, although he gave people a mysterious feeling, Lijie actually has a lot of unknown factors x, half-angel bloodline, and those experiences that only nobles can understand. Now she still knows Marlene Shania?
Judging from the young lady's attitude towards people, Lijie should not be such a servant or servant, otherwise Marin would never be so enthusiastic to her.
What is her identity?
"I'm fine, Marlene."
Seeing Rhode's playful gaze, Lijie felt panic. She hurriedly let go of her hand and deliberately changed the topic.
"How did you come here? You're not in Golden City..."
"I have entered the Central field. In order to let me go further, the mentor asked me to travel and accumulate more combat experience. Yesterday I heard that there was a shortage of people here, so I came to see if I had any chance... What about you? Lijie? Why are you here?"
"I... I've been here since then." Lijie's voice was very small, as if she was afraid of being heard by Rhode, but she quickly raised her head and looked at Marlene worriedly.
"You really decided to join the Mercenary Group? Marlene, this is not a game. Our mission this time is very dangerous..."
"I decided, I must join."
At this time, Marlene had already thrown away the unhappiness of herself and Rhodes. In her opinion, she finally met her past friend again, so how could she let her go? But at this moment, Rhode poured a basin of cold water on the spot.
"Don't make such a hurry to make a decision, Miss Marlene, I don't think you have passed my test yet."
Hearing Rhodes' words, Marlin's face darkened slightly, and she returned to her serious and arrogant appearance just now, and turned around to look at Rhodes.
"Of course, I won't escape because I want to see how strong you are."
“No problem.”
Rhodes have never been a dragging person. Marlene obviously acted decisively and after reaching an agreement, neither of them wasted any talk. Soon, they came to the garden outside—and until this time, Lijie had not figured out what was going on.
"I won't show mercy."
Taking off the cloak outside, Marin said quietly. At this time, she turned back to the Marin who was a member of the Shania family, rather than the cheerful and lively girl in front of Lijie.
A luxurious purple robe highlighted the girl's delicate figure, and the patterns on her collar and cuffs embellished the glory of the family. The girl held a short staff inlaid with rubies in her hand, which looked so serious. At this moment, Marlene stood quietly on the ground not far from Rhode, lowering her eyes and looking at the ground.
Elemental Mage, the seventh level of the central ring, is in the early 15th level according to the player level...
Rhodes used his eyes and pierced her base from Marlene's equipment. Ruby was fire-attributed, and Marlene's robe had several protective magic circles, which showed that the holder of the robe completely gave up on active defense. From this point of view, coupled with the first impression of this young lady, Rhodes had almost guessed her fighting style.
As the former president of the First Guild, Rhodes has had many PKs with people, so he is very familiar with this aspect. Not to mention that compared with players' casual matching, NPC is quite fixed for equipment matching, so for Rhodes, the girl in front of him has almost been completely seen through by him.
But contrary to Rhode's confidence, Marlene felt like a mouse pulled the turtle and had nowhere to vent her mouth.
Because Rhodes, who was standing in front of her, did not move any movement, he did not hold a sword or make any gesture, but just stood there quietly, as if he was relaxed, as if he was fighting, but as if he was waiting for someone.
This made Marlene feel a little embarrassed. It was not that she had never fought with others, but she had such a joke... But the eldest lady was the eldest lady after all. Although she was not sure what Rhode was doing, she quickly changed her mind and stopped thinking about it. No matter what conspiracy the other party wanted to do, as long as I fought according to my ideas, I would definitely win!
Thinking of this, Marlin made up her mind.
"migcl!" (flame)
Accompanied by the high singing, the girl took a step forward and raised the staff in her hand. A bright red, hot fire light ejected from it and flew straight towards Rhode. For a moment, the air around began to heat up, and even the fire light flashed on the ground. After being ignited, the weeds quickly disappeared, as if they had completely ignored the burning process.
The burning flames instantly swallowed Rhode's figure, which caused the two of them to exclaim. But unlike them, Marlin's heart sank at this moment. She could clearly feel that she was not able to hit the target! She missed!
But geniuses are geniuses after all.
The moment he realized something was wrong, Marlin immediately held the staff tightly and then paused hard on the ground.
"jir!" (Storm)
A violent whirlwind swiftly and spread rapidly from the girl's feet, and the sharp air condensed into wind blades, making a slight sound. Not only that, in this violent whirlwind, bits of ice dust appeared from time to time, adding a few icy aura.
A daughter is a daughter.
Looking at Marlene's performance, Rhode couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. In the game, the mage is one of the most powerful professions, but now they are still so powerful in reality. Although Marlene is strictly above Rhodes level 5, she now has the lethality - neither Rhodes can compare to her.
There was a saying among players that when a mage pks, he doesn't even have to look at where the enemy is. As long as he puts all his skills, even if he dies, he can at least pull a squint.
This shows how powerful and terrifying the profession of mage is.
But for Rhodes, although Marin performed very well, she was not impeccable. The most obvious thing was that she didn't know what she was doing now. In fact, while Marin attacked, Rhodes had activated the shadow flash to the dead corner behind her, lurking there quietly. Marin's reaction was quick at the first time. She quickly gave up the attack and released the storm guard to avoid being attacked by the opponent. However, if she could not find the source of the threat quickly, blindly defending would only have a counterproductive effect.
Rhode flipped his right hand, and then he swung forward suddenly.
