Chapter 120 Saving Hiller’s Soldiers 1 (1/2)

”There's such a thing?”

Rhode thought for a moment, then he lifted his head to look at Lapis, who kept pulling her hood and wrapped her whole body inside her cloak. Whenever he looked at Lapis, he really wanted to complain as to why she was afraid of him: did she think that he might eat her?

But now was not the time to complain.

”I got it. You can go back now. Remember, don't forget to finish your task.”

”Yes, leader.”

After hearing Rhode's words, Lapis sighed deeply. She ran away from Rhode's tent like a criminal. Looking at her panicked figure, Rhode helplessly sighed but said nothing. He had nothing to say.

Lize's condition was just as he had expected. There were some things that one couldn't easily get over. Although Lize had tried her best, in the end, she still couldn't walk out from the shadow of her heart. It was not strange, since even though Lize thought she had tried her best, she was still subconsciously was avoiding everything. Now, when she could no longer avoid it, she could no longer suppress the problem in her heart. Although Marlene said that she could help her, Rhode didn't think Marlene could because Marlene had never experienced it before. So of course she wouldn't understand how Lize felt. Rhode thought that one of the worst things in the world was when someone who had never experienced the same thing said ”I understand your feeling” to another person with a sympathetic tone. It was basically b*llsh*t since they never experienced it. How could they still say that they understood?

But the help that Rhode could give her was also very limited. He knew that this kind of thing couldn't be solved by relying on others. If Lize herself couldn't pass this ridge, then no one would be able to help her. Rhode also understand that it was extremely difficult to make Lize pass the ridge by herself.

However to him, there was still a very good opportunity before him.

After knowing that the Burning Blade mercenary group had encountered a danger, Rhode quickly decided to help them. Although it was dangerous, but it was a good opportunity to train his subordinates. Moreover, after the floating ship incident, Rhode had been suspicious that the Wind Snakes were being controlled. It was too unusual for the Burning Blade to be attacked at this kind of time. Probably, they encountered the person who controlled the Wind Snake and got encircled in it. Or else, an ordinary Wind Snake group wouldn't reach thousands or millions. If that was the case, then to Rhode, it was the best opportunity for revenge. He wouldn't let go of someone that had injured him that easily.

When Rhode had just transmigrated to this world and was heavily injured, he could still break through the opponent encirclement and had escaped. Now, Rhode was no longer as ”weak” as before. He would level up soon, and he was confident that he has enough strength to finish those guys. In addition, he still had a trump card…

After resting for a day, Lapis finally finished the task Rhode gave to her. With two dark circles under her eyes, she handed a bag full of potions to Rhode. Originally, the pitiful Lapis had planned to sleep after that, but she didn't expect that immediately after Rhode took the potions, he told them to depart. Facing this tragedy, Lapis couldn't help but follow the others and bitterly continue the journey.

On the other hand, Lize seemed to have forgotten about what happened last night. At this moment, she was walking beside Lapis while restoring her energy and comforting her. It seemed that she was no different than usual.

”I never thought that Uncle would be in trouble…”

Following Rhode from behind, Anne was still as carefree as usual. She was munching on an apple that she plucked out from nowhere and said, ”You knew him?”

Hearing Anne's words, Marlene curiously asked while holding the magic wand in her hand.

”I'm not sure how to say it. I met him a few times before with the old leader. He was a very taciturn fellow; he had a flat expression and didn't even speak for the entire day. I remember when I first met him, he only said 'Ehn' to answer his subordinates. Honestly, at that time, I thought that he was a mute.”

Anne laughed.

”It just that Uncle is very amazing. I think he's almost the same as the leader? He's also very very strong, especially his sword. Yes, it's really too much. Moreover, he's the type that won't show any mercy to women just like leader… Yes, I think leader will be very compatible with him?”

”Haa…” Hearing Anne's answer, Marlene glanced at Rhode with a complicated look in her eyes but said nothing.

After that, Rhode rejected the request that mercenary had asked of him. The mercenary wanted him to ask for the Mercenary Association for help. But in Rhode's opinion, it would just be a waste of time. When they got out of the Twilight Forest and went to look for reinforcements from the Mercenary Association, perhaps the Burning Blade mercenary group would already become history. Since Wind Snakes were a low level monster and a lot easier to deal with than undead creatures, Rhode quickly decided to let that mercenary to lead them to the Burning Blade mercenary group's location and try to save them.

Although the mercenary doubted and hesitated for a while, he also knew that if he went back to look for the Mercenary Association's help, it would definitely be too late. It was better to let them try it. Since Rhode had also saved ”Victorious Wine” in Silent Highland, he was supposed to be strong.

After hurrying up for the whole day, Rhode and others finally arrived at the location.

”It's, it's here.”

Pointing to the forest not far before him, the mercenary wiped his sweat and helplessly said.
