"Speaking of which, what's going on with that young lady?"

Returning to the study with the grizzled old Walker, Rhodes asked the first question.

"What's going on?"

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Old Walker was a little confused.

"As you said, shield warriors are hard to find, but you paid to find one so smoothly........."

Rhodes sat behind his desk and tapped on the table.

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

"Oh, that's what you mean."

Hearing this, old Walker finally understood what Rod meant, and he let out a long sigh of relief, then sat down in his chair and explained.

"To tell you the truth, I brought her from the Macbeth Mercenary Regiment."

"Macbeth?"

Hearing the name, Rod frowned.

"The big mercenary group in the top three? How did you get people from there? ”

"Here's the thing........."

Under the explanation of old Walker, Rod finally understood why the girl named Annie would join his mercenary group. Speaking of which, this is also related to the current power dispute of the Macbeth mercenary group.

In a previous mission, their regimental commander was seriously wounded and was not able to recover from his life. Next, the leaderless mercenary group will naturally elect a new leader, and the two vice presidents below are competing for this position, they all have their own supporters, and they are all working hard to get this position. And in the midst of it, Anne expressed her anger at it. She is not weak, and there are many old people who support her, but she is an orphan adopted by the old president, and naturally she is dissatisfied with the fact that now the old president's bones are not cold, and this group of guys has begun to fight for power and profit. However, Anne is still young after all, and the two vice presidents have been operating in the mercenary group for many years, and they have deep roots, and it is not good to fight against them. After several times of persuasion to no avail, Anne is also dead set to ignore this matter, her personality is as bold as the elder, out of sight and out of mind, I can't afford to provoke it, can't I hide? So she very decisively proposed to leave the mercenary group.

However, even if Anne is the adopted daughter of the elder, in this regard, the mercenary is not qualified to put forward conditions to the mercenary group, although the mercenary chooses the mercenary group, and the mercenary group chooses the mercenary is a bit similar to the way the company employees choose, but there is no equal treaty here, and naturally there is no contract period. Basically, all mercenaries will follow the mercenary group after joining the mercenary group, unless there is any major change in the mercenary group, such as disbandment or destruction, there will be few mercenaries who choose to quit. After all, it is more dangerous to do it alone, and in the mercenary group, even if you die unexpectedly, you will at least have a companion to collect your body, without worrying about being in the wild. What's more, many times, for mercenaries, leaving their own mercenary group is equivalent to labeling themselves as "betrayers", and it is difficult for such a person to be favored by other mercenary groups. Therefore, Anne's decision is not without boldness.

Anne wanted to leave, and the two vice presidents didn't want to keep her, because she was also the old president's person, although she was still young now, but her strength was not weak, and she was a shield warrior, and she had a lot of influence on the mercenaries, and they were all afraid that if this little girl grew up, she would lead her supporters to make a comeback in the future to threaten their presidentship, but they were afraid that letting Anne go like this would gossip to people, so they finally made a decision, whoever could give three hundred gold coins would be able to take Anne away.

Three hundred gold coins is a lot of money for those small and medium-sized mercenary groups, they are numerous, there are a large group of people to live, don't look at the reward for a task is not small, but after it is evenly divided, one person can't share much. And a medium-sized mercenary group, with a full amount of liquidity, is only four or five hundred gold coins, and they can't come up with so much money at all. …,

And those large mercenary groups that can come up with money, their concerns are similar to those of the two vice presidents, they all see that this is the internal contradiction of the Macbeth mercenary group, and no matter who is the president in the future, it will definitely be at odds with this young lady, most of the big mercenary groups are related to each other, unless there is really any deep hatred, otherwise they will not do such a thing as buying the enemy. In addition, they basically have no shortage of manpower, and Anne's strength is good, but for a big mercenary group, there is no more than her, and there is no less than her, and it is not worth offending a mercenary group for one person, which is not cost-effective. There are really enemies of the Macbeth mercenary group who want to pay to buy Annie back disgusting and disgusting opponents, but unfortunately, the enemies of the Macbeth mercenary group are naturally also Annie's enemies, although she is now indifferent to the Macbeth mercenary group, but this does not mean that she can agree to accept the invitation of those guys she hates.

There are also many wealthy businessmen and aristocrats who have made money and wanted to buy this beautiful girl back, but Anne is not stupid, she will not go anywhere except for the mercenary group, and directly refuse the invitation and offer of these people. It was clear that the girl had no interest in being a bed mate or concubine.

Most of the news between the mercenary groups is exchanged, so many mercenaries have heard about Anne, and when Old Walker heard Rhodes say that he wanted someone, he immediately thought of Anne.

And Anne herself seems to be very satisfied with this transaction, the small mercenary group means less pressure and less trouble, those big mercenary groups don't want her, she actually doesn't really want to go to those big mercenary groups, because the greater the power, the more disputes there are, in the battle for the new president, Anne is already tired of such disputes, and now she just wants to be an ordinary mercenary, simply doing tasks to live, and no longer thinking about those complicated things.

"I see."

After listening to Old Walker's explanation, Rod nodded and let go of the doubts in his heart.

"So, let's get down to business......... The one I commissioned you to investigate......... What do you think? ”

"Hey, don't say it, boy, it's a little weird."

At the mention of this, old Walker immediately came to his senses.

"I did as you told me to investigate the thirty-two mercenary groups, and guess what? Except for those who currently have missions, they all go out to those missions related to the undead, and the departure time is almost the same as those days! ”

"They all take on their own tasks?"

"Not at all."

Old Walker waved his hand.

"The mercenaries all know the difficulty of the undead, unless it is those big mercenary groups, who would be stupid to joke with their lives, according to what I heard, these mercenary groups were all entrusted by people, and the other party also paid a large deposit, so they agreed to take the task."

"And now? How are they doing? ”

"There are five mercenary groups that have returned, most of them have suffered heavy casualties, similar to Red Eagle, many of them are understaffed, and it sounds like they have not completed their tasks, which is indeed a big blow to these mercenary groups."

"Do you know the specific location and content of their mission? Also, the client's situation, have you gathered. ”

"I don't know about that, boy."

In the face of Rod's inquiry, old Walker spread his hands helplessly.

"These are the secrets of the mercenary group, and they are rarely told to others, and it is not convenient for me to inquire more, but I think the mercenary association must have a record, because these commissions must be confirmed by the mercenary association. But then again, it's a bit strange in itself, as no one usually entrusts so many things related to the undead...... What's going on? ”…,

"I'm just guessing at the moment."

Rhodes sat in his chair, pondering, his fingers tapping lightly on the tabletop. Things were certainly not normal, and he seemed to sense something when he thought back to everything that had happened in the game. By the way, at that time, there were a lot of players from the Land of Light who appeared here, and I heard that they came to complete a mission with a very good reward in the early stage, and as for the content of that mission......... Thinking of this, Rod raised an eyebrow.

I see, but I still have to continue to investigate before I can draw conclusions.

"But for sure, there should be some connection between these things......... Tomorrow I'll go to the Mercenary Guild and see if I can get any clues. ”

"Mercenary Society?"

Hearing this, old Walker frowned.

"You're dealing with that bunch? Then don't blame me for not reminding you, those guys are very tight-mouthed, and it's not easy for you to get something out of them. ”

"I've got my own measure."

Rod shook his head, then he closed his eyes and thought again.

"Next, you continue to find out what those mercenary groups are doing, and pay more attention to whether there are any strange mercenaries who have entered Deep Rock City recently."

"Strange mercenary? These guys are there every day, and as Deep Rock City is a big city, isn't it normal to attract those guys? ”

"It's normal, but it's not normal if it happens in large numbers in a short period of time."

"You mean ............"

Hearing this, old Walker's face also changed. He was not confused, Rhodes asked him to investigate so much, and it was all such an abnormal thing, old Walker naturally saw that there was a problem, but he still didn't know who dared to do this......

"Someone wants to attack the mercenary group in Deep Rock City? Boy, do you have any news? ”

Looking at Old Walker's expression, Rod rolled his eyes helplessly, what news could he have? If it were on weekdays, Rhodes would only think it was a bit abnormal and wouldn't think much about it. But now it was different, he knew what would happen to the Dao in the near future, and because of this, the slightest abnormality now would be immediately noticed by Rhodes and vigilant.

"If I have any news, I'll tell you."
