Chapter 168 The Incoming Sacred Glory (2/2)

Klautz began to talk.

Two days had passed since Rhode brought his subordinates back to Deep Stone City.

Because of the addition of Christie in their group, Rhode didn't lead his group like usual. Although the mercenaries had no problem in following him, Christie's body couldn't withstand walking for such a long time. According to Lize's examination, Christie's body was very weak. Living in such an icy cold cellar had affected her body, and she also often received beatings from the villagers, making her body grow even weaker. Not only was her right hand fractured, but it seemed that it had never been healed properly. It was already a miracle that she could continue to move her right hand, but it was impossible for her to carry heavy things.

This made the other mercenaries even angrier. Anne was so mad that she lifted up her shield and planned to go back to destroy that ghostly place. Even Marlene, who didn't express her anger intensely, also began to regret. Why hadn't she casted a massive destruction spell in the village that night, in the name of annihilating the undead creature… but now it's already too late.

On the other hand, Rhode was calm. When he received Lize's report, he only asked some questions about Christie and asked her to rest properly. Luckily, even though the injury was difficult to heal, to a Cleric it was nothing. As long as she could find some people who were good at healing to help Lize, then these injury wouldn't be a trouble.

However, Lize was powerless about Christie's body condition. Although a healing spell could heal injuries and wounds, it didn't have the ability to turn a weak body strong. Else us Cleric also wouldn't be that weak too…

But despite this matter, all of the mercenaries seemed to be happy since Rhode divided the money that he had ”cheated” from the High Cliff villagers to them. It's extremely surprising for them to get this unexpected fortune and Rhode also fulfilled their contract very strictly. Those who exerted more power got about 50 to 60 gold coins, and those who did less work only got about 20 to 30. Right, no less than twenty or thirty.

Now they alone could get the reward of an entire mercenary group, and it was only as their extra bonus. When they got back to Deep Stone City and turned over their mission, they could get more rewards. This made them feel that they made a correct choice, and they also cherished this kind of opportunity. They were very clear that this mercenary group was unlike other groups, which they could stay forever. If they didn't work hard enough, they might be unable to stay in here anymore. They didn't want that to happen, and hoped that they could stay here forever.

After finishing this mission, many mercenaries swore that they needed to try harder in their hearts. Because they could already see the reward they got from working hard. It wasn't just 10 gold coins. If they continued to stay in the Starlight mercenary group, not only that they could beat the enemy easily, but they would also get treatment unimaginable by other mercenaries. Just think over it! Magic potions! That kind of thing was considered as treasure, but every person here had about 5 to 6 bottles. Did any of other mercenaries have this kind of opportunity?

None of these things could be bought by money!

Rhode had also noticed their mood. After he entered Deep Stone City, he ordered them to leave and rest. This made them even happier and they shouted ”long live.” They held onto a bag full of money and entered the tavern. However, Lize and others didn't go to rest, as they were worried about Christie's condition and wanted to talk about other things after she had settled.

Rhode also agreed to their decision.

But when they arrived at the stronghold, there were someone blocking on their way.

”Hey, kid, you're finally back.” Old Walker, who was responsible for protecting the stronghold, immediately rushed to Rhode and blocked their way.

”I've waited for such a long time; how come you guys took so long? Hm? Who's that girl?”

”I'll tell you afterwards.” Rhode waved his hand and blocked Old Walker's sight of Christie.

”What happened?”

”I also don't know about the entire story, but yesterday Sereck was looking for you and said that he had something to talk to you about… you see…”

”I'll go now.” Hearing until here, Rhode nodded his head. He didn't care about why was Sereck looking for him. The reason he quickly agreed was because he remember the Cleric in the Mercenary Association. If Rhode could get her help, then it would be good for treating Christie's injuries.

Thinking until here, Rhode said nothing and quickly agreed.
