It was with this in mind that in the end, when Rhodes announced the participants of this mission, he deliberately excluded Marlene, Lijie and Anne. These three people are the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the mercenary group, but on the other hand, if they are there, it will be very difficult for Rhodes to try to create a group annihilation, these girls are very clever people, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not notice something, so in order to avoid accidents, Rhodes finally decided to exclude them, of course, for them Rod of course can't tell the truth, but in the name of "for the Midsummer Festival competition, you need to strengthen training", they were kept. However, for this reason, Marlene and the others didn't think it was so strange, so they all accepted it. Of course, for the same reason, Lando and Joey also did not participate in the mission. This time instead, this time Rhodes brought Shanna and her men, as well as Kavos and the others. He can't just take Carworth and the others now, because this may give them the illusion that their status has been promoted, so Rhodes will choose to let Shanna divide half of the men and follow him to the Unicorn Peak, in order to balance the power of Kavos, after the Blackstone Abyss, these people have shown signs of gradually integrating into the mercenary group, but this is not enough, if they can't keep the pressure all the time, then it won't be long before they will return to their original state, of course Rhodes doesn't want to let his efforts go to waste———— Otherwise, the Black Stone Abyss is not in vain?

It's just that not everything is under Rhodes' control.

Because this time, Labis heard about it from somewhere, and approached Rhodes, hoping that he could take him to the Unicorn Peak.

Rhodes almost forgot that Labis was an alchemist——— a profession that was in some ways related to archaeology. It's just that Rod doesn't understand, why did Labis choose to go to Unicorn Peak? If she just wanted to go to the ruins, when she went to the Black Pine Ruins and the Black Stone Abyss by herself. Why didn't she say a word?

But when faced with this question, Labis refused to answer. All she said was that she wanted to go to Unicorn Peak to find something. It was very helpful for alchemy medicine, but as for what it was, Labis refused to say. The girl, who would be frightened in battle, squatted directly on the ground with her head in her hands, showed extraordinary persistence at this time, although Rod's questioning made her very difficult. But the girl still refused to reveal the specific content, and there was a lot to be decided. Blood can be shed, and words cannot be said nonsense.

This made Rod a little curious, and he knew that many people had their own secrets. This is not surprising. However, like Labis, it is definitely not an ordinary thing, maybe there will be some additional personal tasks, if this is the case, there is nothing wrong with letting her follow, you must know that the difference in combat effectiveness of Rabith is definitely the second to last in the mercenary group. Even the scholars of Orphenia are probably better than she is coming, in case something happens. Rhodes could have given up on those guys in the name of protecting Labis and left them alone to face danger———— after all, for mercenaries, their own companions are also important, aren't they?

And if he did, no one would blame him for what happened to the poor group of Orphinians at the bottom.

In this respect, Labis is a good shield.

It was with this in mind that Rhodes finally agreed to Labis's request for a companion. So in the end, the members who participated in this escort mission were led by Rod, Seven Love, Shanna, Labis and Kavos and others. As for the security of the mercenary group's stronghold, it was temporarily handed over to Marlene to deal with. ..., in these days, Seven Love has gradually integrated into the team, her personality is cheerful and lively, and she is very beautiful and quite popular. Although she is a fire elemental lord, Qilian doesn't have those shelves, she gets along well with many mercenaries, and in just a few days, Qilian's reputation among mercenaries has already caught up with Annie, Marlene and Lijie, these "old people".

And now her only flaw is that, unlike the previous three, Seven Love has not really fought with the mercenaries. As mercenaries, they may appreciate beautiful women, but they don't see them as their companions. Only after you have truly fought with them in life and death will they recognize your identity.

And this mission, for Qilian, is a chance for her to completely gain the recognition of mercenaries.

Rhodes was fast, and on the morning of the third day, the mercenaries were already fully armed to the city gates, where they soon saw the Orphinians who had been informed. Although the genius was only just dawn now, the Orfinians had already dressed and packed their luggage, ready to hit the road. Seeing Rhodes coming with mercenaries, the old man led by him quickly stepped forward.

"You're finally here, Mr. Rhodes."

"Hopefully I'm not late."

Glancing up at the sky in front of him, Rhodes nodded and greeted the old man. The old man nodded in return, and then he was slightly stunned when he saw Qiai standing beside Rod. Obviously, whether in terms of appearance or personal style, Seven Love is attractive enough, even an old scholar can't help but be attracted to her. However, the old scholar did not lose his temper because of this, he just stayed on the ears and tail of Qilian for a moment in surprise, and then quickly retracted it.

"So, can we go?"

"Of course."

Rod made a gesture.

"Rest assured, we will keep you safe."

"Hey, do you see?"

While Rhodes was talking to the old scholar, the others standing behind the old scholar were talking, and they exchanged their heads with each other, speaking curiously and suspiciously.

"What's the matter with that young lady? Do you think she's a half-beast? ”

"Not really, right......... The beast characteristics of the half-beast are not obvious, I remember that according to the literature, the half-beast only turns into the form of a beast after being stimulated, so there should be no difference between it and humans on weekdays. ”

"But what about her ears and tail?"

"Could it be an ornament? I've heard that in some remote places, some people have such strange behavior......"

"But it looks like it's alive."

"Ahem! Okay, shut up. ”

Just when everyone was developing their academic spirit and talking about it, a man walked out, stopped their whispered talk, and then quietly warned.

"Don't forget, they are the ones who protect us. According to the information that the master inquired from the mercenary association, the strength of this mercenary group is very strong. We need to rely on their protection to complete the task and not cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand? It's their private business, it has nothing to do with us, you just have to do what you have to do. ”

Hearing this man's words, the rest of the people quickly closed their mouths, and then they followed the mercenaries out of the city gates.

"Hoo ..............."

It wasn't until the moment she passed through the heavy city gate that Labis let out a long breath, and she looked around uneasily, but she could only see the black crowd as far as she could see, and among these people, she should be safe......... Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but let go of her heart, she relaxed her fingers, and then raised her head and looked at the back of Rhodes in front of her. ..., if the truth is known, will the head of the regiment be angry? He was a very serious person, if he knew that he was hiding something from him...............

"Labis?"

"Yikes!"

The voice of Seven Love suddenly appeared from Labis's ear, and the frightened girl screamed, she hurriedly subconsciously tightened her cloak to cover her head, and then quickly took a few steps back, looking at Seven Love in front of her uneasily.

"Seven, Miss Seven Love! Can I help you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you're a little absent-minded, so you're just a little curious."

In the face of Labis's inquiry, Seven Love showed a mischievous smile, she approached the girl, looked into her eyes, I don't know what Lu Dao was for, looking at Seven Love's eyes, Labis couldn't help but feel dizzy, as if it was a bottomless whirlpool, which would completely swallow herself.

"What's on Labis's mind? Would you like to tell me, I promise not to tell anyone? ”

"I............ I'm just worried about ..............."

Under the seductive voice of the Seven Loves, Labis hesitated to speak, but before she had said that, the girl suddenly woke up, she quickly took two steps back, and then grabbed her cloak.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Miss Seven Love, I'm fine, I'm just a little nervous, then............ I, I'll go to the back first. ”

After saying this, Labis didn't wait for Seven Love's answer, and hurriedly turned around and entered the group of mercenaries. And it wasn't until her figure disappeared that Qilian withdrew the meaningful gaze that had been looking at the back, and then she narrowed her eyes, swept towards the forest in the distance, and then took it back. Soon, Seven Love came to Rod's side and laughed softly.

"Master?"

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with you? Seven Loves? ”

"What are you going to do with that elf?"

Seven Lovers asked the question lightly, but Rod didn't show the slightest expression of surprise at her sudden inquiry, it was obvious that he seemed to have noticed something a long time ago.

"It's up to her."

Gazing at the road in front of him, Rod spoke.

"I believe this may be a good opportunity."

Then, he closed his eyes.

"Whatever you see, pretend you don't see it, understand?"

"Of course, master, I know you very well."

Seven lovers laughed and no longer spoken.

And at this moment, in the forest in the distance, a figure covered in leaves slowly stood up, through the gap, carefully observing the mercenaries in the distance. Then he held out a hand, and soon a bird flew down from the sky and landed on the man's hand.

Then, a hoarse voice rang out.

"Inform everyone, Huang Ying has finally appeared."
