Chapter 97 Anne Georgia’s Secre (2/2)

Because she already did so much to this mercenary group.

Rhode endured the pain, he reached out his other hand and patted the black wolf head.

”———!!!”

Feeling Rhode’s movement, the black wolf roared. But soon, it narrowed its eyes and began to loosen its jaws that tightly clenched on Rhode's hand.

It’s working!

Feeling the change in black wolf's attitude, Rhode was relieved. He was still softly patting the black wolf head; then he moved his hand down to touch its face and its nose. The black wolf didn’t dodge his touch, on the contrary, it nuzzled Rhode’s fingers affectionately. Then it carefully opened its mouth and backed down. It stretched out its tongue to lick the wound on Rhode’s hand, it tilted its head and stared at him uneasily, then it slowly sat on the ground. He didn’t know whether it was trying to apologize or was afraid, but when Rhode stroke its head continuously, it satisfyingly shook its head, closed its eyes and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, the huge body shrunk down, the thick fur and tail also slowly disappeared. After a while, a naked woman appeared before Rhode, but now the wound was no longer there and she was sleeping soundly.

”Sigh…”

Until now, Rhode finally relieved. He put down his right hand and turned back looking at Lize who was walking towards him in a hurry.

”Please heal me.”

After going through this unexpected accident, everyone finally relieved.

The Death Knight had been killed and there were no undead creatures left. Only after getting out of here would it be considered a victory. The only thing that made Rhode depressed was the Death Knight’s equipment. Although the Death Knight had multiple good pieces of equipment, for example, the ‘Curse Ring’ could add a poison effect or the ‘Death Gaze’ that allowed the holder to possess night vision. Unfortunately, these equipment had been contaminated by evil, when Celia used her holy flame, they were already burned into ashes. Looking at the messy corpse, Rhode was simply helpless. Even so, he still tried to be optimistic and asked Marlene to clean the battlefield, hoping that her lucky hand could bring something…

Have to say, Marlene’s hands were really lucky. It seemed a bit wrong to say it like this, but she actually found a space bag from the Death Knight armor. As a magical item, naturally, it wouldn’t get burnt by the holy flame. It’s also the only thing that Rhode obtained, as for the stuff inside, Rhode didn’t plan to open it in front of everyone, since it wasn't too late to check it after they went back.

After that, Rhode, Lize, and the others gathered with everyone. When they walked towards Kudla, a shadow stepped out from the crowd and blocked in front of Rhode.

”What does that mean!”

”The half-elf girl glared at Rhode angrily.

”What do you mean by what does that mean?”

Facing the girl inquiry, Rhode replied expressionlessly.

”That woman!”

The half-elf stretched out her hand and pointed towards Anne who was covered in a cloak while sleeping soundly behind Old Walker’s back.

”You actually employed a mixed half beast to protect us, what are you doing! Don’t you know, that b*st*rd was very dangerous?! What if the beast inside of her attacked us, you definitely did this on purpose!”

Upon hearing her accusations, Lize's and Marlene's face darkened. Behind the half-elf girl, those spirit master from the Mercenary Association also showed unhappy expression. Although they only interacted with Anne for a short time, along the way, it had been Anne who was protecting them. Although her identity as a half beast did shock them a little, but these spirit masters didn't think that it was something that couldn't be accepted. That was why when they heard the half-elf girl insult their savior in front of them, they were feeling miserable. Sereck and Old Walker also turned serious and looked at the half-elf girl in dissatisfaction.

”Hey, you!”

Even Kudla also grunted awkwardly. Not only him, but the mercenaries beside him were also the same. No matter what, Anne was their lifesaver, and having half beast in their group was their own problem. Why do you even bother to bring that up?

”Dangerous?”

Rhode didn’t say anything. Instead, it was Marlene who coldly snorted. At first, she didn’t want to bother with herself with these boorish mercenaries but hearing the elf girl words; she couldn’t help but become angry.

”If it weren’t for Anne, you wouldn’t be able to walk here safely. Not only you aren’t thankful; you are even blaming us? Boorish people like you make me want to throw up.”

”You… don’t you think that I will be afraid of you just because you’re a mage.”

Facing Marlene’s insults, the half-elf girl stood frozen but soon recovered.

”Moreover, she didn't really do anything; she just hid behind like a coward. What was she doing? Hmph, I think this b*st*rd just…”

Rhode didn't let the half-elf girl finish her sentence when he punched her in the face.

Naturally, since she did not expect an attack, she was sent to the flying to the ground, but Rhode didn’t wait for her to say anything. Rhode followed up with a kick to her stomach causing the half-elf girl to curl up in a ball as a subconscious reflex and began to throw up. Rhode finally stopped and patted his hands emotionlessly. This made Kudla couldn’t help but feel awkward.

”Mr. Rhode…”

”Because she kept insulting my subordinate, I’m not happy. That’s why I wanted to hit her, but now I have hit her, I’m happy. Now we’re all even, that’s why you don’t have to apologize to me, or else I will think that I owe you something.”

Rhode interrupted Kudla. After finishing what he wanted to say, he turned around and walked towards his comrades.

”The mission is complete. We should leave this ghostly place.”
