Rhode woke up quietly.

I have to say that this was the most comfortable time he slept after leaving Shenshi City. He didn't have to think about danger, and he felt relaxed wholeheartedly. Especially the softness behind his head, which was a great enjoyment.

Opening his eyes, the first thing Rhodes saw was Marlene's face. The girl at this moment was obviously exhausted. She put her hands on her knees, closed her eyes, leaning against her side, and constantly hitting tons. The magic light had long dissipated, leaving only the faint light of the torch flashing in the dark palace, but now it seems that it is a little more comfortable.[]

Rhode sat up, his strange feeling in his left hand made him a little strange, and when Rhode turned his head to look, the scene in front of him made him speechless.

The thick bandage completely wrapped his palms and forearms, and each finger was wrapped as thick as a carrot. If the white bandage was applied to black, then at a glance, it looked like the arm armor that the heavy armored warriors would wear... But for Rhodes, it obviously had no protective effect.

The eldest lady is indeed the eldest lady.

Faced with the scene in front of him, Rhode could only shake his head and sigh.

After removing the bandage, the wound on the palm has almost healed. No matter what kind of bloodline you have, at least this healing ability is nothing. If it were humans, it would probably be much better even if it was ten days and half a month.

And just then, Marlene also opened her eyes.

"Um…………"

The girl snorted in a daze, then she raised her head, her eyes were dull, and she stared at Rhode in front of her in a daze, as if she was looking at something that didn't exist at all. Rhode did not avoid it, but just stared at the lady with some amusement. After several days of getting along, he had already gained a lot of interesting understanding of this lady - such as her hypotension.

This is definitely not an advantage for a mage.

To be honest, Rhode was really surprised when he encountered this for the first time. He wanted to wake up Marin in his sleep without knowingly, but was held tightly in his arms like a doll. Marin, who seemed to be powerless, showed amazing power at that time. If she hadn't had any dreams and suddenly let go, Rhode would have been half-dead... What's even more terrifying is that after waking up, the young lady had no impression of her previous bold actions, and even thought that Rhode was dreaming in the daytime.

Since then, Rhodes decided to keep her distance—especially before waking up.

Marlene was the same at this moment. Her eyes were blank and unconscious. She looked like a doll who had no ability to resist and could only obey her. She set off her beautiful face and was very likely to cause men's slap. She wanted to immediately overwhelm this beautiful girl who seemed powerless to resist to the ground, and then unscrupulously vent her slap and burning enthusiasm.

But Rhodes knew that this was definitely not the best choice.

The girl's body began to shake like a pendulum.

one time.

Two strokes.

Three strokes.

Then she stabilized her body and blinked.

"Ah, Mr. Rhodes, are you awake?"

It seems that he really woke up.

"Good morning, Miss Marlene."

Rhode raised his hand and greeted Marlene.

"It seems you have a good dream."

"Fortunately... it shouldn't be too long."

Facing Rhode's greeting, Marlin narrowed her eyes in a little confused and looked around, but the dark underground world was obviously not suitable for calculating time. She tried to stand up, but her legs became weak and she sat down again.

"Okay, so uncomfortable..."

Half-sitting on the ground, Marlin supported her body with one hand and pressed her legs with the other - it was very uncomfortable to maintain a posture for a long time, and it would be even more so if something was pressed on it.

Rhodes didn't say anything about this, but just shook his head and then reached out. Marlin lowered her head and with the help of Rhodes, she finally stood up to stabilize her body. She stomped her feet, but judging from her expression on her face, she seemed to have not recovered yet.

"Prepare, we are leaving here and going back to Shenshi City."

"OK."

Hearing Rhode's order, Marin didn't say anything more. She just lowered her head and replied in a low voice. Then she walked slowly and awkwardly to the side, picked up the gem crystals that formed the protective barrier, and put them back in her arms. At this moment, Marin suddenly remembered something. She walked to Rhode's side and took out something from her arms.

"By the way, these..."

"What's this?"

"According to your words, the loot."

At this moment, the girl finally returned to her usual style of a young lady. She frowned, not seemingly very happy.

"I found it from those guys who wanted to assassinate us before, I think you might be useful..."

"oh?"

Hearing this sentence, Rhode looked at Marin with curiosity and surprise. Since touching the body that time, Marin has hated such things. Rhode has heard her say more than once that she would never do it again. So what is this? It is not Marin's style without trust. Could this young lady be stimulated to change her temper?

Marlene didn't notice Rhode's gaze with questioning, and didn't know if she really didn't pay attention or deliberately ignored her. She just took out these equipment and handed it to Rhode, and at the same time tried to show her appearance, "This is all yours, it has nothing to do with me" - it's really a place without silver.

Be proud.

Rhode sighed in his heart, but didn't say anything more, but just reached out to grab the equipment from Marlene's hand.

I have to say that although she said no, Marin's body was still quite honest... or her vision was still very unique. From the three spies, Marin searched for four magic equipment in total. Although most of them were ordinary types, with increased sensing and agility equipment, for Rhodes, it was still left to nothing. The mercenary group is in the construction period, and these equipment are good choices whether they are used to arm the troops or sold for money.

However, the female assassin's dagger attracted Rhode's attention. It was attached to it. It was a spell used to crack medium spell protection, and it also had a fierce paralysis toxin. It was made of essence metal and cold iron. It was really a must-have item for traveling at home and killing people to silence people. Unfortunately, Rhode's current team does not have a suitable thief, and Rhode's own swordsmanship is not suitable for fighting with daggers, which is useless. However, according to Rhode's estimate, if it is auctioned on the black market, it is still not a problem to exchange for some pocket money. The only thing to worry about is whether this kind of thing will cause you any trouble after it flows out.

After checking the equipment in his hand with satisfaction, Rhode put them all into his space bag without hesitation.

It was not until this time that the two of them finally came to an end.

When leaving the palace, Rhodes found the remaining two unlucky corpses at the entrance of the secret passage. At this moment, they had fallen under the previous statue in a bloody manner, and it seemed that they had already died. As soon as Rhodes and Marlene left the secret passage, the stone door that was originally used to cover it was automatically closed and the entire palace was again blocked.

If possible, Rhodes definitely don't want to come again.

When the two of them returned to Deep Rock City with their exhausted bodies, it was already in the evening two days later. After entering the Mercenary Association, Rod and Marlene first went to Old Hank to hand over the mission - the magical plants that needed to be collected had been collected long ago, so it was no problem. After that, Rod also handed over the mercenary group badges he had obtained in the dusk forest and also received points and rewards. After completing these three tasks, the Starlight Mercenary Group is now ranked sixth from the bottom of five points, and finally pulled it back from the brink of disbandment.

"Boy, to be honest, you did a really good job."

After recording the completion of the mercenary mission, the old man patted Rhodes on the shoulder with mixed feelings.

"It's only half a month before you completed three tasks and got five points. Hey, I really should let those lazy people see how you do it. Hit and hit those trash who know how to drink and sleep with women every day. Humph, if you don't work hard, you won't even cry until you disband!"

“This is nothing.”

Rhode shook his head. In fact, he really didn't take these trivial matters to heart. On the contrary, Rhode was more worried about other aspects.

"How is Lijie's situation? She didn't have any trouble."

"Lijie is very good, there is no problem, but..."

Speaking of this, the old Hank frowned in confusion.

"The little girl doesn't know what's wrong recently. She works very hard and locks herself in the room all day long, saying that she wants to learn some new spiritual skills. I'll give her three meals a day. Otherwise, I'm afraid the little girl will forget about her meals. I really don't know why she is so hard and is so young. She has plenty of time, right? If she works so hard now, if she loses her body, it will be more than worth the effort. Young man, please help me persuade her. Now she probably only listens to your words..."

"Okay, no problem."

Hearing this, Rhode nodded. He didn't want Lijie to fall down due to excessive hard work. After all, this is the only treatment in the group. If even she falls ill, the trouble will be great. Thinking of this, Rhode didn't say anything more, but nodded politely to the old man, and then looked at Marlene standing beside him.

"let's go."

"Um………"

Hearing this, a strange and complicated expression appeared on Marlin's face, but she quickly patted her face and regained her former confidence and arrogance.

And just as the two were about to leave, suddenly a voice sounded.

"Hey, boy, you're finally back!"

The two of them looked in the voice and saw Old Walker passing through the crowd with a red face, waving excitedly to them.

"I thought you two might have been eaten by a wolf outside. Now it seems that you are doing a good job!"

"Mr. Walker."

Rhode raised his eyebrows.

"Why are you here?"

"I?"

Hearing Rhode's inquiry, Old Walker took out the wine pot from his waist, took a big sip, and then he narrowed his eyes with a smile and looked at the young man in front of him.

"Thank me, boy, I got that person as you requested!"
