Chapter 421: The Snow Girl Appears
Hearing this voice, Rod was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head and soon saw the female mercenary standing not far from him, and after seeing her, Rode's eyes immediately lit up.
This is not to say that the mercenary captain is very beautiful or attractive, because her entire face is covered by a gray mask, which is quite scary to look at, and although the woman's body curves are quite attractive against the background of the close-fitting leather armor, it is not about the same as Anne, so it is of course incorrect to say that she has any attractiveness. But in fact, for the current Rod, the woman in front of him is indeed much more attractive than Anne.
Because she is one of the vice presidents of the Purple Lily Guild——— "Snow Girl" Paris.
Rhodes is very familiar with this character, and in the game, Paris was once known to many players. It's not because of how beautiful she looks or how powerful she is, or because Paris has some magic weapons. It's just that this woman's background is really sighing.
Paris grew up with Battle since she was a child, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, Paris was also a beauty when she was a child, her family is a merchant family, although not too rich, but the life is also solid. And Paris has also been adventuring around with Battle since she was a child, carrying out activities as a mercenary. The relationship between the two is quite good, and there are even rumors that Battle and Paris have been engaged and are waiting to be consummated.
It's just that the so-called red face is thin, and most of the beauties have no backing, and Paris has not been able to escape this law. So when she was eighteen years old, a big family with rich and powerful people in the local area took a fancy to her, and then tried in vain to marry the girl back home. At that time, Paris's family had no way to resist the threat of this large family, and although they did resist, they were still unable to defeat each other's strength and had to be captured.
And at this time, Paris also showed her brave and resolute side. In the face of those who came to arrest her, the girl did not even hesitate to cut her face with a dagger, and it was not just two or three times, she almost scratched her entire face into a bloody blur, and she couldn't see anyone at all, and then Paris just stood at the door, with a bloody face, bloody and bloody with a dagger to confront the other party. And after seeing Paris's determination, the family finally got timid and backed away. After all, such a family also wants to save face, and they can't get over their face if they make too much trouble, and Paris was completely disfigured at that time, and it took so much effort. As a result, no one wants to do such a thing as a monster. So the other party finally left very happily.
At that time, Battle was not by Paris's side, he had something to leave, but after he came back and heard what happened to Paris, this man who was already rough by nature went directly to the door without saying a word, and directly resisted his own rock chopping sword to find the door, and killed the family, and then he took advantage of the other party's failure to come to his senses, and directly took Paris out of the place of right and wrong.
After that. The two wandered for several years, until the family finally collapsed because of something, and Battle returned there with Paris, by which time they had joined the Purple Lily Guild, and later Battle became the president of the Purple Lily Guild, and Paris became his lieutenant.
Of course, Paris was able to become the vice president of the Grand Guild, and it was naturally not just because of her and Battle's "love is stronger than gold". She also has the strength of a master in her own right. As a thief, Paris's strength is in this area. It's second to none. And she is meticulous and careful, and she is also quite wise, and her reputation in the guild is not bad, so everyone gradually accepted her.
Frankly speaking, Rod still admires Battle. Although many people claim that love will never change, but think about it, when your beloved woman has changed beyond recognition, and even her face, mouth, and ears are full of horrible and disgusting scars, just looking at it makes people want to vomit, and you can still talk about love. At least Rhodes himself felt that if there was a woman around him who became like that, he would probably stay away, at least intimate physical contact would definitely not be there again. But Battle's feelings for Paris have not changed, and in the second story of the game, they are finally married, and even have children——— for many players, it takes courage to hold such a woman. No matter how good the other party's figure is, just by looking at that face, I'm afraid they will wilt directly.........
Therefore, the love story of Battle and Paris is quite widely circulated among players, whether it is sarcastic, appreciative, envious, or emotional. All in all, everyone knows the deeds of the two great lovers of the Purple Lily Guild. Of course, Paris has not changed because of the love between herself and Battle, after all, the most important thing for a woman is a face, and after that incident, Paris's personality has changed from the original lively and cheerful to a cold one, making it difficult to approach. And it was from that time on, she had a gray iron mask on her face, which enveloped Paris's face, and Paris never took off the entire mask except in front of Battle. It is precisely because of this that she has the nickname "Snow Girl".
Rod's eyes are shining at this moment, not because he saw the heroine of the legendary love story, but because ——— Paris is the vice president of the Purple Lily Guild, and the reason why he wants to lure the necromancer to the Eagle City this time is not because he plans to borrow the power of the Purple Lily Guild?
Paris's strength is not as strong as Battle, so she is not suitable for attacking head-on, but as a thief, her means and strength are first-class, and the other party is a mage——— hey, even if a necromancer is also a mage, what a mage is most afraid of is a close-range sneak attack. Therefore, seeing Paris at this moment, Rod immediately had an idea.
"I didn't expect to see you here, Miss Paris."
Rhodes stood up, nodded to the other party, and then made a gesture of invitation, and in the face of his invitation, Paris did not hesitate at all, just pulled a chair and sat down, although she couldn't see her expression while wearing a mask, but Rhodes was sure that Paris was looking at himself suspiciously at this moment. It's no wonder that Pafield, who has a good job, doesn't run it, and goes all the way to the territory of the Purple Lily Guild, and it's no wonder that the other party has ideas. 、
"May I ask Mr. Rhodes what is the matter with coming here?"
Paris's speech was as cold and direct as her nickname, but Rhodes obviously didn't care, instead, he restrained his expression, and then nodded solemnly to Paris.
"Frankly, I'm here for something to do. I'm here for a guild mission, so Miss Paris isn't unfamiliar with it. ”
"You mean the Custer Plateau Ruins mission?"
Paris is worthy of being a snake on the ground, listening to Rod's start, she quickly guessed what happened, and for her inquiry, Rod did not hide the slightest meaning, but nodded very calmly, and then looked at the masked woman in front of her with a hint of scrutiny.
"That's right, I hope it's not so unlucky, your guild plans to complete this task too?"
"You don't have to worry about that, Mr. Rhodes, we don't have any intention of exploring that ruin at this time."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Paris just gave a brief response very indifferently, looking at her appearance, it was obvious that Paris didn't intend to waste any time on this topic, and she didn't want to say anything more. But Rhodes doesn't plan to be too entangled in this, although the relationship between the two sides is not bad, but they are both mercenary guilds, after all, there is still a competitive relationship, no matter how good the two brothers are, it is not such an intimacy, as long as the Purple Lily Guild does not have the same idea of punching the ruins of the Plateau, Rod will be relieved——— of course, even if the other party fights, it doesn't matter, with Rhodes's understanding of the Purple Lily Guild, if they don't do the prefix task, they are estimated to be completely wiped out if they go there. But more curious than this, why did Paris appear in the White River Valley? At this time, shouldn't they prepare for their guild mission? If the Purple Lily Guild didn't come for the guild mission of the ruins of the Custer Plateau, then what did Paris do here with this group of mercenaries as the vice president?
In the face of Rod's doubts, Paris also gave the same explanation this time.
"That's right, Mr. Rhodes, we received a report in the early hours of the morning that there was a sky-high fire in the White River Valley, which is a very rare sight in the White River Valley, and I brought people here to ensure the safety of the trade routes in the White River Valley, and to investigate what had happened."
At this point, Paris stopped, although she didn't say anything more, but from Paris's suspicious gaze, Rhodes could sense that she was obviously doubting herself. It's no wonder, after all, this is a must-pass place in the White River Valley, and it would be a bit far-fetched to say that it had nothing to do with that fire. Fortunately, Rhodes had no intention of hiding the truth.
"I don't think you have to go to your destination, Miss Paris, and I can tell you what happened."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Paris let out a puzzled "oh", and then she also sat up straight and looked at Rhodes seriously.
"I want to hear about it."
