Chapter 50 (2/2)
If things happened based on what had been written down, then that’ll be for the best, but what if there was an accident? Let’s say that the monsters were killed earlier than expected, and the boss appeared before they could get into position When that happens, if the situation was not handled properly, the group ht be wiped out!
Rhode believed that if the battle went as she has expected, then she would surely perforures in history Unfortunately, fights, in reality, was unlike CG animations Under an unexpected situation, her nificant problem
After Lize left with Marleen, he went back into the house Old Hank’s face was clearly different He never thought that Rhode was actually that strong That girl was the faenius of Golden City She had defeated many people with just oneman would be that ruthless! He actually injured the beautiful youngrather bitter He sighed as he looked helplessly at Rhode’s back and then at Marlene, as being lifted up by Lize
A while later
Marlene silently stared out of the , her eyes still somewhat vacant
After all that had happened, Lize brought her to a room where she could finally relax This was the most massive blow in her life so far It was just like a faround and kicked in the face
Rhode’s words repeatedly rang in her h she could not accept it, she had no way to refute it While she could bla style, but she knew that if it were truly a life-and-death battle, there would only be a single person standing – the winner If Rhode were her enemy, then she would be dead by no can a dead person co style eird and crafty?
“How do you feel Marlene?”
Lize put a cup of hot tea in front of Marlene and asked in low voice
“I’ better Thanks, Lize”
Marlene reluctantly exposed a stiff smile While she was happy that she could meed an old friend here, but under these circuhtly aard The ihed heavy on her It wasn’t as if she hadn’t lost before, but there had never been a ti manner before Moreover, the duels with her teacher were very civilized, and would she rarely notice any blood during the spar… Marlene shook her head dejectedly She found that she was too weak
“Frankly, I took things too lightly”
She sighed
“I thought that it wouldn’t be too difficult to finish these th But… now I know that I can’t even fight properly Obviously, in my mind, I knew that I had to execute my drills, but my body did not move as I wanted to In the end, I don’t knohat should I do”
Marlene exposed a bitter sh at those inco ht?”
“That isn’t the case, Marlene”
Lize stood up and held her hand Her eyes focused on the girl in front of her
“Actual battles and e iine actual battles to be are vastly different I was also the saroup, I was also full of unrealistic dreams; I believed that I could rely on le one of their injuries They helped me when I needed them and so I wanted to be able to help them”
Lize’s eyes flashed a trace of sadness
“But when I participated in my first real battle, when I saw real flesh and blood, I was almost scared to death In fact, I did not have the ti seriously injured Although the leader did not directly blame me, I could sense their disappointment in their eyes I know that they needed my help, and I had the ability to help them But I took a step back at the most critical moment… The leader told me that everyone would face such a test without exception After that, I also kept working hard and finally…”
“I know…”
Marlene looked down; her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of cos
“I understand what you mean Lize, it was just like what he said If I did the sas as I did now on the mission, no wonder he would not want me But…”
Marleen clenched her fists
“I still wanted to try I know that s that I was proud of, is useless for my improvement But I won’t run away like a coward because I alory! I absolutely won’t allow myself to retreat, no matter how difficult and hard it will be, I will bite the bullet and continue lory…”
Her face turned bitter as she ured that so at Lize
“By the way, Lize You have not told me why you are here as a mercenary? Why did you leave the Golden City? At that time, I was absent, so I didn’t knohat happened When I returned, you were already gone I had been looking for you for a long ti Marlene’s question, Lize’s expression turned somber She bit her lower lips and answered, “Because it was the decision of the family council”
“You were expelled?!”
Hearing that term ‘Fairl who sat beside her in surprise and anger
“How could those old geezers do that! They actually dared to drive you out? Did Mr Drekreed the Council’s opinion”
“This…”
Hearing that sentence, Marlene didn’t knohat else to say
“…how can he…”
“It’s not surprising”
Lize s with her golden ponytail
“Right now, I aer Lize Noir… That’s eezers!”
Marlene raised her eyebrows coldly and sat down again Then she looked at Lize with concern
“Then, you…”
“Just like now”
Lize replied softly
“I will stay in this h it is very dangerous, but forbad Mr Rhode proroup I think that this is better andan expensive dress while attending the banquets, isn’t it?”
Marlene was surprised at the calentle smile But still, her irl who liked to cry frorown up… eh?
