The rain stopped around ht and the mercenaries could finally continue their journey under the fresh air and war put everyone in a much better mood Thebreakfast

The little girl theynot far behind at the back of the group She earing her usual clothes Her dainty wooden stick waved froirl woke up, Rhode h Cliff Village, but there were no further details Due to the leatherShe could only co her head This way of communication doesn’t allow co this little girl back to High Cliff VIllage and find out what truly happened

If it wasn’t for Lize’s healing, the little girl who hadn’t ate for the whole day wouldn’t even have the strength to stand Even so, she still politely and determinedly rejected the kind help from the ritting her teeth She was very experienced in doing it… at least the la by her side

Even as the irl After all, although these people participated in many adventures, they had never seen such odd incidents

“What a poor child Why would she receive such treatment?”

“Could she be under a curse?”

“Don’t joke about it If it was a curse, do you think Miss Lize will not feel it? She said it was only an illness”

“Could she be disfigured so she purposely hid it? I’ve seen a lady in the city who covered herself with a cloth every day after a major burn scar on her face”

“That’s just for concealuess Haven’t you seen the collar and chains on the little girl’s neck? This obviously is an act of torture”

“But ill do such a thing? Any normal human wouldn’t be this cruel…”

“You already said ‘norh Cliff Village?”

Hearing their comrade’s answer, one of the mercenaries replied with disdain, and the other mercenaries ended their conversation on this topic

To be honest, they didn’t wish to go to High Cliff Village In fact, Shauna and Old Walker’s attitude represented the mercenaries’ attitudes — If possible, they would rather wish those people to die to the undead creatures than to help them After all, these people had a bad reputation and everyone in the roup, except Marlene, had experiences with theh Cliff Village were just a bunch of scu for money Their wicked na to provide service for the and cry for mercenaries’ help in the Mercenary association Every one of them yelled and wept so pathetically but once the mercenaries turned soft on them, those scue

Thebecause within High Cliff Village there was a guard captain froers had conflicts, they would ih the al business” If they were caught by the guards and thrown into jail, they wouldn’t have an opportunity to earn o alongside Rhode, partly was due to the rich remunerations offered by Deep Stone City’s owner, Klautz

Just half of the reold coins Since the officials were the ones giving , they wouldn’tit was for money, everyone would be helpful

Of course On the other hand, they were curious on what Rhode would do to those villagers in High Cliff Village Although they had not spent much time with Rhode, these mercenaries were aware of Rhode’s temperament Cold, cruel and no mercy If he could kill somebody in front of the Mercenary association due to an insult then no one could guarantee that those scuet away safely from him later — In fact, to most of theood temper before

And because of this, you could say that half of their motivation comes from Rhode’s attitude and the other half ca those people…

“Mr Rhode, that poor child…”

Walking beside Rhode, Lize continued to turn around to care for the little girl struggling to keep up froh most of them slowed down their pace to make it easier for her, most of them were already adults, so they were fast when it coirl tried hard to follow behind, due to her short legs and lack of energy she was always panting throughout the rocky path back to the village But even so, she never turned to them for help Lize had been rejected many times when she tried to offer assistance

“She’s a strong child, but… for her, this is too tiring”

Marlene stared at the little girl’s figure with admiration in her eyes Her approach was different froirl’s will Even though she understood that there was a tough journey ahead, but she still chose not to rely on others Marlene displayed her respect by adirl’s determination

“She appears to fancy the leader” With both hands behind her back, Anne did a stretch as she spoke

She wasn’t wrong though In the crohat the little girl cared theman without any reason Of course, this wasn’t considered too weird for anyone Besides, Rhode was a man with attractive and beautiful feh for people to stare at him Rhode ell aware of this, but he didn’tabout it

“I can sense an obscure evil energy froelic voice echoed behind Rhode’s ears

When no one was looking, Rhode suet for this el’s natural enes in battle Also, Rhode hoped to use this opportunity to teach those scue a lesson about humbleness and humanity

As for Celia’s sudden appearance, the mercenaries weren’t surprised at all After the battle in the Twilight forest, they knew their leader always had an angel on guard by his side, so they didn’t felt anything odd

“Evil energy?”
