Chapter 145 The Direction of the Heart

Looking at the momentum

With Marlene standing in front of him, Rhodes can only sigh helplessly.

He did not plan to sign a contract with Marlene from the beginning. Although this eldest young miss does have a great influence and combat ability in Mercenary Group, it can even be said that from a certain point of view, she is already a qualified Vice-Captain . But Rhodes is also very clear that it is impossible to keep Marlene here.

The reason is simple, because she is Marlene.

For Noble, the last name behind them is far more important than the previous name.

Frankly, it ’s like an large company working for a fast food restaurant. If you work for a few months, then the enlightened bosses will not only stop you, but may also support you to experience more life. But if you say that you plan to work in a fast food restaurant for several years, ———, no one will have a good face.

And Marlene has never behaved like a mercenary in Starlight. She does not distribute loot and is not interested in these rewards. According to her — law, she did come here to absorb combat experience. But other than that, she was not interested at all. Although she said that Marlene also had a set in terms of commanding and appeasing the team, it was not that she wanted to compete for power and profit. It was simply that she was used to giving orders in eldest young miss normally. This is a kind of instinctive consciousness of the superior. Sometimes Rhodes can't take care of it, and others don't have any experience, so Marlene will stand up on its own.

It can be said that as an assistant, she is very competent, but as a mercenary, she is still far away. So Rhodes never considered making Marlene a mercenary.

Of course, he can also choose to use the contract to bind this genius Mage to himself. However, Rhodes is very clear about the consequences of this. Although it is said that the law protects all contractual acts, the big family like Sunia will not care about this kind of thing. On the contrary, if they really make them angry, it is not a good thing for Rhodes. Coupled with Shenia Family is the backbone of Royalist, Rhodes does not need to find potential trouble for yourself.

"I think you should know your identity very well, Marlene, you are a Mage, but not an mercenary."

Speaking, Rhodes made a gesture to signal her to calm down.

"And Shenia Family will not agree to this behavior. I think you have read the content of the contract. Do you think you can accept it as the successor of Shenia Family?"

Hearing here, Marlene complexion changed, and then she seemed to lose her strength and sat on a chair.

She certainly knows that if she decides as "Marlene", she will definitely be able to accept it. But it would be very difficult for her to make the decision as "Marlene. Sunia".

Rhodes knew exactly this, so I did n’t plan to sign a contract with her from the beginning, which saved the embarrassment of Marlene, because it was equivalent to forcing her to make a choice between Mercenary Group and her family. For the understanding of Marlene, Rhodes can be sure that she will never choose the former. Marlene is a very rational person. She was rigorously educated since she was a child, and she is very clear about the major and minor things. In this kind of thing, she will never be emotional.

So instead of embarrassing both parties, it is better not to talk about it from the beginning. However, Rhodes also understands the attitude of Marlene to come to the door to ask the teacher for guilt. After all, she has been in Starlight for so long and already has feelings for this place. Now that Rhodes has given a contract to everyone else, but excludes herself, it will inevitably make her a little thought, which is normal.

Rhodes does n’t know how long Marlene can stay in Mercenary Group, but he is very clear that this eldest young miss should not stay too long, although frankly speaking, there is such a genius Mage can really be much easier around him, However, Rhodes must still consider the changes of Mercenary Group after Marlene leaves. If he can, he hopes to find some real Mage through Marlene and invite them to join Mercenary Group, the level need not be too high, even if it is only Outer Ring level, it is enough for Rhodes. And he believes that the people Marlene knows, the strength should not be too bad. Because this eldest young miss is a very proud person in her own right, she disdains being with those "mortal", so people who can get her approval should have no problem.

However, Rhodes is not going to do these things now, after all, it is not yet time. He believes that when Marlene is leaving, she will think of this problem herself. After all, this eldest young miss is a very responsible person.

But the performance of Marlene is still beyond the expectations of Rhodes'.

She sat in a chair, silent for a while, and finally raised her head slowly, but said something that surprised Rhodes.

"So, that is to say, if my family can recognize it, I can get this contract like Leiya?"

"This ........."

Heard here, Rhodes gawked, how could he think differently why Marlene cares so much about this thing, which is not good for her?

"Things are not as simple as you think, Miss Marlene."

Thinking of this, Rhodes intends to not mincing words and make everything clear.

"I think you have been with us for so long, and you almost understand the nature of mercenary. I can see that you are not very interested in the mercenary industry itself, you just like to take risks, so I think you do n’t need Signing such a contract will not benefit both of us. "

"I know this very well."

Marlene faintly nodded, but she is still a little unwilling.

"But ... I still hope to get the same treatment as Leiya, after all ..."

Speaking of this, Marlene suddenly realized that he seemed to be saying something wrong and hurriedly shut up. And hearing her, Rhodes is the inner somewhat uncertain.

He only discovered now that Marlene has been referring to Leiya from the beginning. It seems to complain that since she should give her a contract, she should give her a contract, so it is fair to treat them equally. But Marlene should be very clear about the status of Leiya in this Mercenary Group. How could she think of such a naive idea as if a child complained to others but did n’t give herself candy?

This is not scientific?

"In short ..."

Under Rhodes's thoughtful gaze, Marlene coughed awkwardly, and a trace of slightly red flashed across his face.

"I can understand what you mean by Mr. Rhodes, but I feel that, no matter what, I have also contributed a lot to Starlight. I feel that I have the right to demand similar treatment. As for the family, I think you can rest assured , I do n’t think they care too much about it. In any case, I want to be the most special one here. "

"......... I will consider it."

Finally, in the face of Marlene's confession, Rhodes was only a slight nod and responded.

“………… Huah …………”

After returning to her room, Marlene leaned against the door panel, let out a long sigh, she reached out and pressed her chest, you can feel the heart beating fiercely.

As a smart woman, Marlene knows that she is a little unreasonable, and she also understands that Rhodes is for her own good. But I don't know why. When she saw Leiya and Annie there happily discussing a contract about her future life, Marlene always felt a little upset. The feeling of being crowded out made her very uncomfortable.

For Marlene, this exclusion is not unfamiliar, especially as the heir of a large family, as an magic genius, she is often excluded. Those whose status, wealth and reputation are not as good as their own hide from her, and those whose strength is not as good as talent also exclude her, but these have no effect on Marlene. She didn't feel that she was excluded, on the contrary, she thought that this justified her success. The so-called high altitude was cold. Although Marlene did not know this sentence, she could understand the similar meaning.

But at Starlight, the previous idea of ​​Marlene gradually disappeared.

She and the people here are doing well, Leiya, Annie, and others. Although those mercenary and she are not friends, the interaction with them makes Marlene feel better than those in the college. Communication is much easier. They don't care about their family or their identity. It was just because of her own strength that she showed her favor, which made Marlene feel very comfortable. She also felt that she had chosen Starlight as a correct decision.

So although she can understand the Rhodes' approach, she still hopes that she can get a contract like other people. Marlene is very clear that this is how people are connected through the same things. She is now It's very comfortable to stay here, and naturally I don't want any unpleasant scenes.

But Marlene is also very clear, these are all her excuses.

The main reason for her is .........

Thinking of this, Marlene shook her head and left behind the thought that upset her, and then, she took a deep breath calmed down. Then the girl pulled out a badge from her arms and placed it on the table, singing in a low voice.

With the low and complex spells, the gems inlaid on the badge illuminate accordingly, and then they emit a soft glow. Soon a illusory figure was formed. It was a man of nearly fifty years old. He stood upright and his hair was meticulously combed backwards. The black mage robe was a tall silhouette against the tall man. He held a handful of white staff, and complexion looked at the girl in front of him seriously.

At the same time, a deep, majestic voice rang.

"Long time no see, my child."

"Lord Father, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your look is still as good as before."

Marlene picked up her skirt, respectfully to the man gave a bow.

"You are too, my child, I feel relieved to see you still so spirited."

Speaking of this, a gentle smile appeared on the man's face. Although there were few, Marlene still felt the concern and tenderness.

"I have heard Mr. Serek about your business. I heard that you have joined a very interesting Mercenary Group. So, this time you contact me, is there anything wrong?"

"Exactly, Lord Father."

Hearing here, Marlene coughed softly, and then she brought a trace of pride started talking.

"The reason why you are contacted this time is that there are two things to report to you."

"Oh? Which two things?"

"The first thing is about my current progress, Lord Father. I can be quite sure that I have now broken through Middle Ring 6-Layer and will soon touch the edge of 5-Layer Soul Ring."

"Oh?!"

Hearing this, the man's face showed obvious surprise and joy for the first time.

"So fast? It seems that you did a good job, my child, but you still have to remember that the magic way is to avoid blind arrogance, although you can have upgrade in such a short time is a good thing , But we still need to guard against pride and impatience to have a solid foundation. "

"Yes, Lord Father, I must bear it in mind."

Hearing the man ’s warning, Marlene gave a deep bow, she is used to the almost cumbersome advice of her father, from the beginning she also finds her father very annoying. But now, she has understood that this is a manifestation of her father's love for herself.

"So, what is the second thing? You told me a good thing, I hope it will not be a bad thing next."

"Not so, Lord Father, I think you will be very interested in the second thing."

Speaking of this, Marlene raised her head, with a little blush on her face, but between the eyebrows, she revealed an unspeakable excitement and seriousness.

"I can be sure that I have searched for the king of my destiny, Guardian Knight under the stars, we have been waiting for Shenia Family all the time, the moment when the void image returns to this continent is coming ! "
