Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Destination of the Heart

Frank could swear that he had never seen the man in front of him, after all, Rod's characteristics were so obvious that it was almost impossible for anyone who had seen him to forget. 9vk。 However, it was this man he had never seen before who actually called out his identity in one mouth, which immediately made Frank feel a little chilled.

How did he know who he was? In the Kelis family, he is just an heir with no status, and even in the aristocratic circle of Barcelona, there are probably not many people who can know his name, how did this young man know Lu Dao?

Although he was shocked in his heart, Frank hurriedly regained the smile on his face and replied casually.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Rhodes would know about a little person like me, which is really surprising to me."

"There's nothing surprising to be surprised because Barcelona and my hometown aren't far away. I've met with you a few times, but it seems that Mr. Frank has forgotten. But it's no wonder, after all, everyone doesn't have much communication on weekdays, but ........."

The expression on Rod's face was still so cold, but there was a hint of sinister mockery in his eyes.

"The circle of nobles is really small, isn't it?".

"You have a point, Mr. Rhodes."

Hearing Rod's words, Frank was a little skeptical, and he had also inquired about Rod, and learned that he was from the Eastern Mountains, although it was indeed not far from Barcelona, where the Kelis family was located. But the closure of that place was notoriously close, and even the Duchy of Moon itself was not very familiar with that area, let alone Barcelona. Although the nobles of the two sides occasionally communicated, but the number of times was very small, and he did meet the distinguished guests of the Oriental Mountains a few times, but ...... There is no such person among them, is there?

But now, Frank's heart lurks not only with doubt, but also with a hint of uneasiness and panic. As a person who has always liked to keep a low profile, Frank is already a little flustered at the moment. After all, Rhodes did not hesitate to reveal his identity, which made Frank very uneasy. He could even feel the skeptical gaze coming from the Elder and Serek. But now, there is no way back.

So he could only continue to smile and replied bitterly.

"I really didn't expect that, in fact, my father ordered me to travel for a period of time to increase my knowledge, and I have learned swordsmanship since I was a child, and I have achieved a little success, so I plan to increase some experience in the mercenary group, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen recently...... I had to do this in order for the mercenary group to survive. ”

"A noble heir to be a mercenary?"

Hearing this, Rod looked at him curiously. 9vk。

"Mr. Kelis wouldn't agree to such a thing, after all, ........."

"I don't intend to get my father's approval, I know that the mercenaries don't have a good impression among the nobles, but based on my contacts over the past few days, I feel that the mercenaries are not as bad as they are rumored. Moreover, I have developed a deep affection for my companions, and in order to be able to help them, it is not a big deal if I disobey my father's orders once. ”

"I see."

Rod nodded and let go of Frank's hand.

"Hopefully you'll be able to make it."

"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Rod, and I also hope that your mercenary group can go further and further."

Frank nodded gracefully to Rhodes, then immediately turned away.

"Boy, do you know?"

It wasn't until the door closed again that the elder frowned and looked at Rod suspiciously.

"I used to have a distant relationship, I knew him, he didn't know me." ..., Rod replied with ease, and then he asked pretending not to care.

"But I didn't expect him to come here as a mercenary."

"He's been here for a year."

The elder said.

"At the beginning, I saw that he was a nobleman, and I didn't plan to agree, but then this kid is very good at talking, and can endure hardships, and his skills are not bad, so I recommended him to the Emerald Eye after the mercenary evaluation. I heard that in the previous battle with the undead, the leader and deputy head of the Emerald Eye were seriously injured and died, and now in the entire mercenary group, only this kid still has a shot, it seems that he is doing a good job. ”

A year ago? I actually started thinking about it so early, and you really played big enough in the Land of Light.

Hearing the elder's introduction, Rod raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say much. At this time, the old president was obviously a little tired, so many things had happened in the association in the past few days, and he was indeed busy enough as the head of the meeting.

"Alright, boy, is there anything else you can do? If you don't have anything to do, I'm tired and need to rest. ”

"Wait, Elder, about the reward for completing my mission this time...... As agreed, as long as I can safely get all the people out, you will double my pay. Now that I've brought everyone back in their entirety, and my men have been injured for this, you should show your sincerity too, right? ”。

"You...... You kid, now that there's such a big thing in the association, you can't wait? Anxious to get that money for a coffin? ”。

"This is here, that is that, of course I know the current situation of the association, but this is not a reason for you to refuse to pay me, okay, according to our previous agreement, please give me the payment."

"You greedy bastard!!"

At that moment, the elder leader's angry roar spread almost throughout Deep Rock City.

Anne opened her eyes.

She stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling in front of her, then turned her head to look out the window. It was already evening, night was falling, and only the glow of the candle flame brought some warmth and peace of mind to the room.

"I'm ........."

Anne sat up and shook her head, the soft bed, the comfortable room, the smell of weeds and flowers in the air cleared her mind a lot.

"That's right...... I fought the Death Knight, and then, I ............"

Thinking of this, Anne's face suddenly turned white, she seemed to remember something, and her body trembled involuntarily.

I, I've transformed?

In front of the regimental commander?

In front of the sisters?

Did I really, did I really do it?

"Knock knock."

The sudden knock on the door startled Anne, and she couldn't help but scream subconsciously.

"Who?!"

"It's me, Lijie, that you're finally awake? Annie? ”

As she spoke, Lijie walked into the room with a steaming soup, and when she saw Anne's appearance, her face immediately felt a little more relieved.

"It's great that you're finally awake, Annie. How does your body feel? You've been in a coma for almost two days, huh? You must be hungry, this is Uncle Walker's soup, I think it must be to your taste. With that, Lijie placed the bowl on the table next to her, and Anne did not jump up with joy as before, but instead grabbed the quilt and covered her body and face, only the pair of eyes still flashed and looked at Lijie with an uneasy look.

"Sister, sister............ Aren't you afraid? ”。

"Huh?"

Hearing Anne's inquiry, Lijie turned her head curiously and looked at Anne suspiciously.

"I, I'm transformed, right?" ..., however, Anne didn't notice Lijie's gaze at all, she just stammered and whispered.

"Am I like that? Sister? Everyone must be scared, I ......... It's ............"

"Half-beast, right?".

Hearing this, Anne's whole body tensed, her hands grabbed the sheets, lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at Lijie more. She was now uneasy in her heart, she didn't know what to do, it was her own fault, she should have confessed to everyone at the beginning, but she didn't dare. Because the old regiment leader had told her that her identity needed to be kept strictly secret, and Anne had seen the fear and disgust of those in the regiment after seeing her transform. Is it the same with Sister Lijie? What about the regimental commander?

Will they stop wanting me and drive me away?

Just as Anne was thinking, she suddenly felt a hand on her head, gently stroking the girl's hair.

"What a fool."

Lijie gently stroked Anne's head, and looked at the girl who was trembling with fear with a gentle smile. She didn't tremble when she faced the Death Knight, but looking at her now, it was as if the end of the world had come.

"Frankly, people were a bit surprised. But we're definitely not afraid, are we? I didn't, Marlene didn't, neither did Mr. Rhodes. Don't be cranky, you blocked such a dangerous enemy and saved us, we thank you It's too late, how can we be afraid of you? ”

"Sister Lijie........."

Anne raised her head and looked at Lijie, her emerald green eyes clear and transparent, as if she could shoot all the way to the depths of people's hearts. But in the face of Anne's gaze, Lijie did not run away, but quietly endured her gaze, and after a while, Anne's face finally resurfaced with the pure, energetic smile on her usual day. Then, she threw herself into Lijie's arms.

"I like everyone the most!"

"Ann, Annie?"

Looking at the girl who hugged herself and kept shaking her body, Lijie's face showed a wry smile, don't you say, looking at Anne's current appearance, if there is another tail flicking in the back, it is not like a wolf, but like a .........

"But, Anne, be prepared?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Anne's movements stopped.

"You have violated Mr. Rhodes' orders, which makes Mr. Rhodes very angry, on the way back, he has said more than once that he will punish you, so you need to be mentally prepared, you must know that Mr. Rhodes's punishment is very terrible."

"This, this ........."

Hearing Lijie's words, an embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Anne's face, and just when she didn't know what to say, suddenly, a low protest came from her stomach.

"Goo............
