Is it him?

Seeing the young man talking beside him, Rod raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything. On the contrary, Marlene was a little unhappy next to her, she was not present when Rhodes and Emerald Tears had a conflict, I don't know what happened between Rhodes and this person, for Marlene, she was still thinking about whether to take the task, and someone actually ran over to grab it, this kind of impolite and rude behavior like queuing up Gassell made Marlene very dissatisfied, she had a certain prejudice against mercenaries, and now Barney's behavior made her feel disgusted.

"We haven't left yet, and you're trying to steal our mission? What a faux pas, don't you know how to follow order? ”

Hearing Marlene's words, the half-elf girl's face changed slightly, and she grabbed Barney's hand hard, signaling him not to entangle with the other party. However, perhaps he learned from the mistakes he had made in the past, but this time Barney did not refute Marlene's words, he just looked at Uncle Hank in front of him with a serious expression.

"Uncle Hank, you should know the rules, in the Mercenary Association, as long as there is a task that has not yet been determined, anyone can take it, and now I, as the acting head of the Emerald Tears Mercenary Group, have expressed my willingness to take on this task, there should be no problem."

"This ............"

Uncle Hank's face was embarrassed by Barney's questioning, and he looked at Barney and then at Rod. Unlike Marlene, Uncle Hank had seen the battle that took place at the entrance of the Mercenary Guild. Now that these two people have actually met again, Uncle Hank's heart is really nervous immediately, and he looks at Rod, for fear that this young man will kill people without speculation like he did at that time. If that's the case, it's definitely not good news for the Mercenary Guild. Fortunately, Rhodes seems to be in a normal mood now, and he doesn't mean to get angry. But then again, who can figure out Rod's true meaning from his expressionless face?

"Uncle Hank."

Seeing that Uncle Hank was slow to react, Barney had to remind.

"We should be able to take on this task."

"You're .........!"

Hearing this, Marlene couldn't help but open her mouth to say something, but at this moment, Rod suddenly made a gesture and signaled her to stop. Then he turned around and looked at the two men in front of him carefully.

Facing Rod's gaze, the half-elf girl trembled a little, she bit her lip tightly, looked down at the ground, and did not dare to look at Rod. Barney, on the other hand, raised his head and met Rod's gaze without fear, but Rod was not too interested in such a response, he was silent for a moment, and then snorted softly.

"Wouldn't it be too arrogant for you to want to complete this task?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether you can do it or not."

Barney was very serious and responded word by word. Rod shrugged his shoulders at his answer.

"Looks like you don't agree with me, and you're already planning to take on this task?"

"Of course, Mr. Rhodes."

Barney didn't hesitate and quickly answered.

"But I'm not going to give up on this mission."

Hearing Rod's words, the hearts of the half-elf girl and Uncle Hank immediately lifted, and Barney gritted his teeth, and quietly pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, always ready for battle. Luckily, it doesn't seem like Rhodes is going to dwell on that, and he's in a pretty good mood.

"Needless arguments aren't necessary for either of us, though, so why don't we make a bet?" …,

"What bet?"

"I don't believe you can accomplish this task, so I suggest that we both take this task at the same time here."

Rod said, holding out a hand and looking down at the two of them as if he were looking at a rat in a stinking gutter. This kind of look made the two of them very angry, but they also knew very well that if it broke out here, then they would also know very well what kind of fate they would have. So they suppressed the anger in their hearts and waited for Rod's next answer.

"Then, out of sympathy for the weak, I will give you ten days, and after ten days, if you do not come back, then it will be considered that you have all died inside, and the mission has failed, and at that time, I and my mercenary group will enter the abyss of Blackstone again and complete the commission. What do you think of my proposal? ”

Hearing Rod's words, everyone's expressions were different. Marlene didn't say anything, and it was clear from her expression that she felt that the bet was very unnecessary. And the half-elf girl already has the intention of giving up, although I don't know if what Lu Dao Rhodes said is the truth, but this church mission is really not prepared on her side, and I don't know the situation inside Lu Dao, and no one knows what it will become if she goes there rashly. And Old Hank looked at the two back and forth in fear, for fear that the two sides would fight if they disagreed.

"Yes."

Barney thought for a moment, then nodded, but soon, he added.

"However, I have one condition."

"Oh? Condition? ”

Hearing this, Rhodes fell silent, then nodded.

"Okay, let's talk about it, what conditions."

"In order to ensure the fairness of the gambling contract, I hope that the Mercenary Association can send someone to help investigate......... After we enter the underground passage, we hope that the Mercenary Association will send someone to seal the lock there to avoid possible, unnecessary troubles and any unnecessary dangers that may arise. ”

The half-elf girl sighed, of course she understood what Barney meant, and in fact the mercenary group could indeed request this kind of assistance from the guild to avoid some troubles and problems that might arise during the mission. Obviously, just like the half-elf girl thought, Barney was also worried that Rhodes would attack them privately, so he deliberately made this request. Even if Rhodes is a nobleman, he is the leader of a mercenary group. But after all, he didn't open the mercenary association, he was only one of the mercenaries, and with the mercenary association watching, Rhodes shouldn't do such a thing again, after all, once this kind of thing spreads, it will definitely not be a good thing for Rhodes.

"No problem."

Rod nodded his head in agreement to Barney's offer without hesitation, and then he turned around and waved his hand to the two.

"Well, that's it, I hope you don't disappoint me, let's go, Marlene."

Hearing Rod's order, Marlene frowned, looked at the two guys who ran out halfway very dissatisfied, and then she didn't say anything, just shook her head, and then followed Rod and turned away. It was only then that Barney let out a long breath, and he took his hand away from the hilt of his sword, and only then did he feel that his palms were sweaty. And the half-elf girl is also a relief from the edge of life and death hell.

"You're being reckless, Barney."

"But it's useful, isn't it?"

In the face of the half-elf girl's complaints, Barney gave her a very confident smile. This made the girl's face flush slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said nothing.

..., but I have to admit that Barney's move is really good, with the help of the mercenary association's strength, it can indeed reduce the threat that Rhodes may bring to them. But the half-elf girls also know very well that now is not the time to relax, and they still have a lot to do.

"What are we going to do next?"

"I'm going to go to that supporter and report the situation, and I think they'll be happy to give us money to support our mission. You go back and prepare, inform the others, and let them investigate the matter about the Blackstone Abyss, we can't just enter without knowing anything. After all, it's better to be careful in everything, and besides, find two people to monitor the Starlight mercenary group, and if they make any moves, notify me immediately. I don't believe the man would have stopped there, he must have had other plans! ”

"Okay, I'll go now."

Hearing Barney's order, the half-elf girl was relieved, and she was finally convinced that the young man in front of her was no longer as reckless as before. This relieved her a lot, so the half-elf girl didn't say anything, but nodded, and then quickly left.

At this time, Rod and Marlene, who had left the Mercenary Association, were also communicating with each other.

"I can't believe you're going to say yes to their frivolous bet, Mr. Rhodes."

Marlene still seemed a little unhappy about this, but Rhodes really didn't seem to take this little thing to heart.

"Don't worry, Marlene, that's fine, we've got a lot of time to prepare. It's business as usual, you go and take care of buying those fire-type scrolls, and buy as many as you want. It just so happens that I can take advantage of this time to gather those mercenaries and adjust their status......... How are you doing now? ”

"I think we've found a clear direction, Mr. Rhodes."

After that time, Marlene and the others seemed to have finally opened their minds, and they began to try to choose and determine their own combat methods, and tried their best to integrate these skills and ideas into actual combat, although the progress was slow, but it was still very good.

"Very well, this mission will also be a guarantee to test your combat effectiveness, I hope you can be prepared. By the way, Marlene, if you have any fire-attribute magic equipment, I advise you to bring them all, this mission is not as simple as you think. ”

"I'll be ready, but......... Mr. Rhodes, aren't you really worried? What if they complete the task? ”

"It doesn't matter."

As for Marlene's somewhat worried inquiry, Rod didn't seem to care.

"Even if they get the job done, it's pointless."

Then he replied...... ）
