"This gentleman, what do you want to do?"
The woman who was caught on the wrist by Rhodes did n’t change a bit, but still had a leisurely smile asked. The Rhodes that heard her answer was suddenly eyes narrowed, and the strength in hand immediately became a bit bigger.
"Oh ... you still know that I am a sir."
"This is ... of course, sir."
Once Rhodes takes it seriously, his strength is not something that anyone can bear. The woman complexion, whose wrist was caught by Rhodes, changes slightly, and then she still tolerates the pain and smiles. Leaned forward in front of Rhodes, and then lightly chucklingtǐng started his own xiōng department. The white and plump xiōng mouth emerged in the gap of the collar, giving a rough yòuhuò. However, on this, Rhodes found another focus —— that is worthy of his attention. That is a silver tooth necklace in front of the female xiōng.
"I just want to take a good look at this lady, she really loves it, doesn't she?"
As she said, the woman pulled her hand from in Rhodes' hand $ (), and she looked at Christie again, but this time she did not recklessly try to step forward. Instead, the woman quickly pulled away from retreat Step, looking at Rhodes with dissatisfaction. She seemed very angry about his behavior, but soon she shrugged her shoulders, and then lightly chuckled.
"Do n’t be so nervous, sir, I ’m just an ordinary woman. Is n’t it polite to treat a lady like this? But it seems that I am too abrupt, so ... I ’m leaving now."
After saying this, the woman smiled at Christie nodded, and then turned and left. Rhodes looked at the woman's back thoughtfully, then lowered her head and looked at the note in her hand.
"... Rhodes ...?"
Kristi's voice rang in Rhodes''s ear. She raised her head suspiciously and looked at Rhodes in front of her. Hearing her call, Rhodes didn't say anything. Instead, he put the note in his arms, and then looked at Christie, lù smiled softly.
"Is there any place you want to go? Christie?"
When Rhodes took Christie back to Stronghold, it was already evening.
Whether it is for Rhodes or Christie, this is a rare rest for them. Christie spends most of his time in retreat and rarely goes out. Occasionally, he can only take a walk in the garden of Stronghold. While Rhodes has to spend most of its time building Mercenary Group and quest, and rarely have such leisure time to go out shopping, so both of them have a hard time, but compared to the excited Christie , Rhodes seems more tired. After all, for men, shopping is definitely not their hobby. But for women, the hobby of shopping seems to have been fully integrated into their spirits and blood, even Kristi is inevitable.
But in order to avoid the girl getting sick, Rhodes will let Christie go to rest after returning to Stronghold. Although Christie ’s spirit is still very good, her body does not support such a long period of exercise. , So although some are not reconciled, the girl can only choose to return to the room to rest. After sending Christie back to the room, Rhodes did not go to rest. Instead, he came to lounge on the first floor and planned to relax.
After shopping all day, Christie was physically exhausted, and Rhodes was mentally exhausted. Even if she looked like a woman again, and she had several girlfriends, he still could n’t understand the female xìng for shopping Where does the great enthusiasm come from? Is it meaningful to come and go on the street and not just buy it? Conversely, if you do n’t buy, why go shopping?
Rhodes cannot find the answer to this question at all.
However, when Rhodes walked into lounge, he met someone in accident/surprise.
"Yo, brat."
Old Walker sat on the table by the window and saw Rhodes coming in. He reached out and waved at him.
"Are you back?"
"I am back."
Rhodes glanced around, here originally is the entertainment room of the old Noble house, but now there is no item for entertainment, only a few barrels are placed in the corner, next to it is a clean copper wine glass, now lounge There is no one here. Most of the mercenary has not come back. Because the ban has not been lifted, the current Starlight Mercenary Group is not completely in good operation. Only after the ban is lifted can we see what level the current Mercenary Group can have. .
"... I didn't expect that there are so many people in Mercenary Group now."
Old Walker took a sip of the fine wine and looked out the window with emotion.
"I thought when you invited me with brat and Leiya together, I thought you Mercenary Group did n’t do long, three people? Hey ......... brat did you know? At that time, many guys were laughing at you , Say you are delusional, let alone them, I think so too. I came here just to see how you failed, but unfortunately, you let me down ... "
Speaking of this, Old Walker stopped for a while and then picked up the glass again.
"brat, what exactly do you want to do? I have made mercenary for a lifetime, and everyone has seen it. People like you generally have their own goals and plans. I believe you will not build this Mercenary Group just for Discuss life and seek adventure to stab it. If that's the case, is it necessary for you to do this? "
In response to Old Walker's inquiry, Rhodes did not give an answer. He just shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture with a blank expression.
"Of course I have my plan, old guy."
The so-called come and go is not polite, since Old Walker closed his mouth and called himself "brat", then Rhodes did not mind calling him "old guy", otherwise the words were heard by others, where should he put his majesty as Captain?
"You just have to look at it obediently, anyway, you are so old, it's hard to change, is it?"
"Tooth is sharp."
After hearing Rhodes''s return, Old Walker coldly snorted, and then he shook his glass, the expression on his face suddenly became more serious.
"However ... no matter what you want to do, you must be mentally prepared. Not everyone will be with you. Your ambition may just be a burden and trouble for them ......... hope You can remember this, mercenary ... sometimes it ’s just mercenary after all. "
Speaking of this, Old Walker ’s complexion is a bit yīn Shen. He lowered his head, shook his head and sighed, then stood up and walked towards the shovel by the wall. While Rhodes is eyes slightly narrowed. Looking at the obvious old figure, did not answer.
"I used to have that time."
While pouring wine, Old Walker bowed his head.
"At that time, I was so arrogant and thought that I could do everything. I longed to be able to take my companions to become stronger. We will become more famous, richer, and like those in the bard population. Heroes are eternally recited ... We used to think so, but that was not the case. Not everyone is interested in the future I described. They do n’t care about money, reputation, and do n’t want to risk their lives. They went deep into the channels connecting **** and the world to protect the good and peace. Before the threat of death and the shadow of yīn, they chose to retreat. They were reluctant to fight Demon undead in the cold underground of yīn. Eventually they died in obscurity. They chose I took money back to my hometown and lived a comfortable life. I used to think I was betrayed, but now it looks like ... I was so ridiculous at that time ... "······"
Speaking of this, old man smiled bitterly, but his voice was full of bitterness.
When faced with old man, Rhodes fell silent. He has never considered this issue, but now, Old Walker's words make Rhodes have to think from another aspect.
That is the future of Mercenary Group.
If all goes well, then after the Midsummer Festival, Rhodes' Mercenary Group will be upgraded to Mercenary Guild, which is almost one of the biggest dreams in mercenaries's life.
Now whether it is Leiya or Anne, they are working hard for this dream. But after the upgrade is successful? They became Mercenary Guild, and then just continue to live together?
Of course, Rhodes is unwilling. Mercenary Guild is not the ending for him, but the foundation of the real beginning. In the end, his goal is to obtain a territory to manage the forces that are enough to resist Kingdom of Light and Kingdom of the Night. ready. Rhodes used to think that this was not difficult. After all, he already had experience once and would not lose again. But the reminder and advice of Old Walker made Rhodes find that he ignored one thing. ——— is that he subconsciously confused player and native.
player is unlikely to have such a problem of boredom. When they hear the new quest, the new Dungeon, and the new team, they must be very excited. If you know that they can have a piece of their own territory, then it is a morale. Because this is the purpose of player to play the game, they are eager to have their own territory, their own power, their own equipment, their own organization, and even conquer the world. This kind of power is invincible for player, but for native, But ———, which has its limits, is different from player after all. They only have one life, and they do not have the qualities of player being dead and being able to come again. Because of this, they value their life more than their illusory things.
The history of Old Walker Rhodes knows a lot, but he knows the common situation. originally Rhodes thought that Old Walker was depressed after the injury, but now he heard it, and then found that Old Walker may be before the injury , He was disheartened by his companion.
He is using justice and glory to encourage his companions, but it sounds like these illusory things have not succeeded. The Rhodes intends to use equipment and forces to attract those mercenary, so will his approach succeed?
It's as if you and your companions have swept a robber camp and got enough wealth for you to enjoy forever in your life, and then you got another message that there is a dragon in the vicinity, which houses legendary weapons With equipment, if you can kill it, everyone will be a hero of the kingdom.
So how do you choose?
If it is player, it is sure that there is no second word to directly agree.
But from the perspective of native, will they really want to challenge the suicide goal? Although Rhodes is very clear, once the war breaks out, no one can escape, and those mercenarys are unlikely to appear like Old Walker. For their own survival, they can only stick to it, but after they win, they will continue to choose Fight? Or take a generous bounty to live in a peaceful place? No one can say for sure, although Rhodes knows that the battle of this war will burn every corner of continent in the future, but now he ca n’t say such words. Just like now, most people of Deep Rock City are still living in peace. simply does not know that Kingdom of Light is about to fight Kingdom of the Night, and Kingdom of the Night will take Moon Dukedom as the primary target. Peace is like a soap bubble, beautiful and fragile, it will be completely destroyed with a little effort, and they would rather live in this soap bubble than they would come out to face reality.
"Thank you for your advice, old fellow."
Rhodes stood up and found that he might have to rethink this question.
"You are welcome, little brat, anyway, I just move my mouth. Anyway, all I can say is this. It ’s your business whether you like to listen or not. I ’m old, but I ’ve managed so much, this one I do n’t know if I can live for a few days, and I ’ve done enough to worry about. ”
Another glass of wine came down, Old Walker seemed to return to calm again, he wiped a corner of his mouth, then replied with a smile. Then he looked at Rhodes toward the door with some doubt.
"Why? Are you going out at this time?"
"I'm going to Magnificent Star. After Marlene training, I'll trouble you to inform them for me. You don't need to wait for me tonight."
"Magnificent Star?"
I heard Rhodes' answer, old man gawked, and then I smiled cunningly.
"Hehehe, can you finally bear the brat? The girl there is very positive, I said, man, how can I not go there and be chic? There is the best place in Deep Rock City. There are so many beautiful girls around me every day. I ca n’t see if I ca n’t eat, and I ’m really thankful that you can bear it now. Rest assured, brat, I will cover it for you. If they ask Little Leiya, I will say you do Very important thing! "
After hearing the jokes of Old Walker, Rhodes shook his head, but he didn't say much.
In fact, as Old Walker said, he does have very important things to do. ! .
