"What did you say?!"

The elder slammed to his feet.

"Did the imp take Lijie to the Cyrell's murderous mansion? Don't you say anything earlier! ”

"I just learned about it, old friend."

Serek looked helpless and wryly smiled.

"I wanted to go to them and ask what this little guy's plans were next, but I didn't expect that neither of them would be there, but later I learned that the kid went to the city hall and bought the Ceril murder house for five hundred gold coins——— I have to say that courage alone makes me very optimistic about his future."

"Nonsense, it's nonsense."

The elder slapped the table.

"It's not a place where everyone can go, go and pull them back immediately!"

"It's late, they're already in."

Serek shook his head, but soon, a smile appeared on his face again.

"But then again, old friend, why are you in such a hurry? Haven't you always hated this kind of breaking the rules of mercenaries? It's not very good now, if the two of them disappear in the murderous mansion, the mercenary group will be disbanded immediately, so don't you save a place? How about tossing with them? ”

"This is this, that's that."

The elder frowned and complained very dissatisfied.

"Now that kid is also the leader of a mercenary group, how can he do it if he doesn't take responsibility to heart. Alright, Serek, I hope you don't talk about it here, go and bring back those two imps who don't know how thick the sky is, it may be too late now. ”

"Don't be so nervous, my old friend, maybe things aren't as bad as you think."

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing Serek's calm words, the elder showed some doubts, judging from his understanding of Serek, this swordsman is not the kind of guy who cares directly about interests and is ruthless. But looking at what Serek said now, it is obvious that he means something.

"It's not interesting."

In the face of the elder's curious inquiry, Serek just smiled and spread his hands, revealing an elegant smile.

"You haven't fought him, so you may not know him, but I'm different......... Perhaps, it is possible for this young man to work miracles. Since he dares to go, he is naturally sure, we just need to watch quietly from the sidelines. Didn't you tell Lijie? It's a gamble, she gambled, and we have to gamble——— Cerrell's Mansion is located in the upper district, and we in the Mercenary Association have not been able to find a suitable opportunity to get the opportunity to go there, and now if this young man can take the mansion, it will be a good thing for us, and besides, I think he thinks he has the ability. ”

"It's just the frivolous pride peculiar to young people."

The elder does not seem to approve of Serek's statement.

"If you have a little extraordinary strength, you think you are invincible in the world, and there are many idiots like this."

"There are a lot of geniuses, too."

Serek grinned and took the following words.

"Whether this young man is a fool or a genius, we don't know the way now, but I think we'll know soon."

"I just don't think that's too ......... It's an exaggeration. ”

The elder lifted his eyes and looked at Serek with a hint of depression.

"Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that you haven't been out of Deep Rock City for decades, I really doubt that kid has something to do with you to let you protect him like this."

"I'd love to have something to do with him."

In the face of the elder's taunt, Serek sighed a little tiredly.

"I'm old, I didn't feel it before yesterday, I didn't expect to be forced to be ruthless by such a little guy, think about what I was doing at that age, and then look at this group of children......... Don't you think that we people are really a little out of step with the times? ”

"But history will still have our place."

The elder said casually and picked up the pen in his hand.

"Young people have the glory of young people, and we also have our pride, and now is not the time for you to serve old age......... Well, since you're so optimistic about that little ghost, I'll leave this matter alone for the time being, but for three days, if there is no movement after three days, you should be ready to take someone to collect the corpse. ”

In the gloomy hallway, rotting wooden planks creaked under the weight. …,

Although the legend of the Ceril Mansion is terrifying, as a building built on the upper floor, its own decoration is quite standard. Dark red velvet carpets, ornate sculptures and solid wood decorations, and crystal chandeliers all show guests its prosperity and beauty——— of course, that's when they are clean and beautiful.

But now, full of holes, curtains swaying by the wind in the cracks of whistling broken glass, broken furniture, falling to the ground, smashing the otherwise ornate floor into a deep pit, and cobweb-covered oil paintings, there is also a kind of alternative beauty when viewed——— but it is clear that it is not developing in the good way.

It's a pretty artistic picture when viewed quietly, but the noise that comes with it spoils all that.

"Whoa."

Rhodes dusted his hands and tossed aside the pieces of the wooden table that had just turned into a pile of garbage at his feet, while behind him, Lijie was watching him in horror.

"Ro, Mr. Rhodes, what the hell are you doing!"

"Cleaning."

After making a gesture and signaling the soul bird to use the strong wind to completely sweep away the accumulated dust, Rod turned his head and said to Lijie lightly with his usual serious and expressionless face.

"After all, this hellish place hasn't been inhabited for several years, so these things should be pulled out and thrown away......... As a stronghold of the mercenary group, we can't be as troublesome as the nobles, just keep it simple......... Well, but this carpet is of good quality and can be kept, what do you think? ”

"First, sir!"

Lijie was about to cry, and Rhodes in front of her was really like a homeowner who had bought a new house and came to decorate it. On the contrary, Lijie's pressure is not small from the moment she comes in, after all, the murderous house is notorious, and the poor girl who harms her is even a little soldier, even if the wind blows the curtains or even a little rustling sound, Lijie is not lightly frightened. In fact, she can't be blamed for this, although Li Jie has faced life and death many times in mercenary operations, but after all, they are all enemies who can be seen and touched, and they are also very calm in their hearts. And now in this murderous mansion, but I don't even know what the enemy looks like and where it comes from.

The girl's performance was in full view, but Rhodes didn't say much, he was quite familiar with the process of this task. I think that when I started this mission, I was also careful to search every corner of the entire house with a weapon, for fear that a monster would suddenly appear somewhere. But even Rod didn't expect that the danger here would appear in the most unimaginable moment, in the most unacceptable way——— frankly, now recalling the original scene, Rod still can't help but feel a little chilled, after all, it was the first time he was so scared in the game.

Speaking of cleaning, Rhodes is just doing it, although he has indeed obtained the title deed here from the city hall, but the mercenary group construction system does not recognize this stronghold, which means that he has not completely completed this ghost place. That's why he brought Lijie here, firstly, to completely take this piece of land into his hands. Second......... This is also a great help for Lijie's skill improvement. Since Lijie is the only one among his subordinates now, he must let her improve to keep up with his own speed. But Lijie is not a player, of course Rod can't tell her directly, "Come, there is a task, get ready to eat experience upgrades" and so on, the upgrade of NPCs in the game has the characteristics of NPCs, and it is not the same as players, so in addition to patience, Rod has to keep this simple and poor girl in the dark and directly trick her into this way——— anyway, she has no other choice.

Sunset over the West Mountains.

The dim night was shrouded, and the already gloomy house was now more like it was painted with a layer of heavy paint, and the darkness was not even so clear. Only the light and heat from the burning fire in the center of the hall brought a few shaky glimmers of light to this dimly lit place.

"Mr. Rhodes, I think we'd better go back, and we'll sort it out tomorrow."

As the sky darkened, Lijie felt that she was getting more and more uncomfortable, which was not physical pain, but an instinctive suppression. It was as if some unspeakable danger was condensing under the thick ice, ready to burst out of its shell.

"No, just rest here, this is already our stronghold after all."

He took in Lijie's uneasiness, but Rhodes didn't say much. He knew very well that Lijie must be very uncomfortable now, because when he stepped into this area, Rhodes received a system notification that he had entered the evil territory.

For the pure angels, the evil territory is definitely their great enemy, and the eternal opposition between good and evil also means that the two sides will give absolute blows to the mortal enemy on each other's territory. And Lijie is now in the range of being suppressed by the influence of this evil region, so she will show some vulnerability, even uneasy. But she's a half-angel, half-human after all, and at least she can barely support that this state won't deteriorate.

It's almost time.

Comforting Lijie casually, Rhodes carefully recalled the content of his previous mission, and then, he reached out and quietly summoned the bright red card.

"Bell ..............."

And at this moment, a low chirp suddenly sounded.
