MTL - Summoning the Holy Sword-Chapter 29 Just ask
The crowd only saw him last time before raising his hand, and the next moment his figure disappeared instantly, the white and bright sword blade flashed with the sound of breaking air, and pierced straight to Orland's right hand.
So fast!
Facing Rod's sudden attack, Orland was shocked. Although he had prepared himself before, what he saw and experienced was completely different. He only felt a flower in front of him, and then saw that Rhodes's blade had pierced his right hand.
Facing the attack, Orland had to choose to step back and was forced to leave Helen. At this time, he no longer had any expectations for completing the task, and the gap between the two sides was too great. Now, the only option is to escape. Thinking of this, Orland no longer hesitated, rolled backwards in the face of Rod's attack, then leaped suddenly and flew towards the bushes next to him.
But Rhodes apparently did not intend to make him wish.
Rhodes, who was stabbed with a sword, did not choose to step back. Instead, looking at the figure who was leaving quickly, Rhodes' mouth slightly tilted, and an imperceptible smile flashed across his face. Then, the long-stabbed sword in his hand stopped slightly and moved forward again.
The long-awaited sparkling beam burst out of the sword, circling and splitting forward and whistling away, as if it had been prepared to shoot a short distance away from Orland.
The Rhodes sword is obviously a bit weird, because the broken blade does not shoot directly at the figure not far away, as other people think, but it tilts upwards and tilts away, it seems that it is missed. This idea Not only Ben, who was standing in the distance, but even Li Jie and Mays, who had peeked out of the carriage, had the same idea.
But at the next moment, their eyes widened in surprise.
Because at this moment, Orland, who had rushed backwards, suddenly jumped up and took the initiative to meet Rhode's attack.
In fact, while taking off, Orland was already aware of this. This is also the action of the thieves accustomed to surnames. When they retreat, in order to avoid the subsequent pursuit of attacks, they instinctively have to do some avoidance actions. The reason why Orland jumped up was to avoid Rod's attack. But he did not expect that Rhodes predicted his actions in advance. Instead of avoiding this jump, he put himself on the blade!
Orland was shocked at the moment. He wanted to change his position, but it was too late.
With the cooperation of Orland ’s “prince and selflessness”, the broken blade hit Orland ’s right shoulder and back heart unbiasedly. The poor thief just had a scream before he flew straight away, One knocked into the bush.
It was only then that Rhode took up his sword and slowly walked towards Orland.
"Woo ...... ah ..."
Lying in the bushes, enduring the pain from the shoulders and back, Oland clenched his teeth and heard footsteps, he wanted to escape subconsciously, but he had not had time to stand up, and the white sharp blade Lightning penetrated his right hand.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
All of Oland's heartbreaking screams were tight in heart, but Rhode was still calm, as if it was nothing at all. This also made everyone's evaluation of Rhodes have a new change. Obviously, it is absolutely abnormal for this young man to remain indifferent when facing such a scene.
But Rhodes doesn't think so, and he didn't actually do this because he was intentionally vicious, it was just a habit in the game. After all, in the game, the player's shameless shameless attack is more professional and more vicious, and these people in the game are not afraid of hurting. So the only way to keep these guys to avoid them escaping or going offline is to keep the opponent in combat at all times. In fact, Rhodes sword is just a continuation of his habit in online games. Seeing the other party to run, he instinctively stabbed the long sword in his hand in order to avoid the other party's "forced offline."
But after the sword was shot and after hearing Orland's scream, Rhodes reacted. This is a reality, not a game-but it doesn't matter.
Throwing the boring thoughts in his head aside, Rhodes came to the man in black, and then he reached out to hold the sword handle and slowly lifted it.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!"
Orland has almost rolled his eyes in pain at this moment. His right hand has begun to twitch involuntarily because he can't bear the pain of exceeding the limit. Even the left hand has not been able to stop Rhode at this moment, only instinctively. Hammer hitting the ground, and this scene is also inwardly chilling in the eyes of others. They have never seen such a cruel scene. Although the opponent is an enemy attacking himself, it is also true to see him fall to such an end. Fearful.
Li Jie stood in the distance, staring quietly at Rhodes, who had no change in color, and there was a complex emotion in her eyes. At this moment, she recalled what Rhodes said to herself in the hotel.
"I didn't say this in order to repay your life-saving grace. Li Jie, I have brought you out. In this regard, we have no debts. You owe me nothing, and I owe you nothing. I can tell you that the purpose of this is not to repay, I have my purpose, so I need strength, that's why I made this proposal. I can assure you that in two years, I will It developed into a powerful mercenary guild, but I also want to remind you that I will probably take some measures that you cannot accept. So, I hope you can think about it, Li Jie. If you are willing to accept my proposal, Then you must first prepare accordingly. I will not allow anyone to hinder me, and I will not allow anyone to obstruct me. I have my reasons, but you do not need to know now ... I can Understand your mood, so I will not force you to promise, but I must remind you of the consequences after promise-it is very likely to go beyond what you can bear. "
At that time, Li Jie didn't know Rod's words very well, but she admitted that she was indeed shocked by Rod's speech, but on the other hand, the girl's heart had a little peace of mind. After all, Rhodes must have faced her and said that she had made an attempt. Although this may sound unacceptable, it was indeed more convincing than the other party's unconditional help. But she still didn't understand what was about to be dismissed by a mercenary group on the verge of dissolution, but since Rhode was unwilling to explain, she couldn't continue to ask.
But now, after seeing this scene, Li Jie's heart has begun to loosen a bit. He had attacked Helen before, not to mention that Ben et al didn't think of it, even Li Jie didn't think of it. After that, she was able to hurry up and cast a shield of protection on Helen. It was purely the result of a flash of light in Li Jie's own mind, not the product of tacit cooperation with Rhodes. And because of this battle, Li Jie's heart seemed to finally understand Rod's meaning.
I thought it was very simple before. Just recruit a few more people, and then grit your teeth to pick up the task, you can keep the mercenary regiment. But is it really that simple? Li Jie has not been a mercenary for a year or two. She knows how cruel the mercenary world is. Everyone is for survival. The Moonbow Mercenary Corps used to be a medium-sized mercenary group, but now it is It became like this, she was watching how the mercenary regiment like her own home was going down.
Can I do it myself? Rebuilding mercenary regiments?
Li Jie asked herself that she couldn't do it. Even the former head Carter, although Ping Yueli was very easy to get along with, she also showed a cold and firm side from time to time. But Li Jie felt that she couldn't do it. She didn't have this ability, and she didn't want to do it.
Thinking of this, Li Jie involuntarily set her sights on Rhodes.
He didn't tell himself what he wanted, but his expression was so firm, without a hint of confusion and doubt.
What about yourself? How can she do it for her own dreams and goals?
Thinking of this, the young girl bit her lower lip tightly and held her hands.
And just as Li Jie decided his own future, Rhodes also took out the long sword leisurely, he glanced at the blood on the sword body, threw it away, and then looked at the painful rolling black man under his feet.
"Although I think you should understand what I want to ask, in order to avoid you being confused, I would like to ask one more question, who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Wh ......... wow ..."
Orland curled up, the pain of being punctured in his right hand made it almost impossible for him to sort out a complete sentence, he looked up and stared at the young man in front of him. I can't figure it out, why I am so unlucky, and provoke such a character.
"I ... I ... I am ..."
The fear of the enemy and the physical pain had already worn away Orland's will. He now almost completely had no ability to resist, and was only able to answer Rod's question in a low voice. But he didn't finish the sentence, and the huge pain from the back of his right hand made him breathlessly. But in Rhode's eyes, it seemed to have a new explanation.
"You don't want to say that? Then forget it, I'm not very interested anyway."
"Me, I'm a subordinate of Vice President Kleit !!"
Hearing Rhode ’s words, Orland was so scared that he forgot the injuries on the back of his hand, and hurriedly shouted that he would accept it if he died, but if he was killed by the other party because he did n’t breathe a word, Really died ... he didn't want to go to that world to report so early.
"Vice President Klett?"
Hearing this name, Rhode's sword paused slightly.
"Businessmen's Association?"
"Yes, it is."
"What is your purpose?"
"Tied up, kidnapped Miss Helen. All I know is ..."
The star-studded white sharp blade was stuck on Orland's face. The cold touch made him swallowed subconsciously. He has now completely lost his squareness, and only hopes that this young man can show mercy. Just then, he saw Rhodes nod, and said, "I see."
Then, Orland only felt that his neck was cold, and with the invasion of cold air, darkness completely covered his world.
Withdrawing the sword, Rhodes turned and returned to the carriage. At this time everyone looked at him with a completely different look. Helen sat aside with the help of his servant and looked at Rhodes with a complex expression. Ben coughed, and then stepped forward.
"This ......... Thank you for your help, sir."
Although Rhode's behavior has nothing to do with "assistance", the result is good after all.
"You're welcome, just a hand."
Rhode nodded slightly and said nothing more. Instead, he hesitated, and then asked a moment later.
"Excuse me ... who is the other person?"
"They said they had been sent to abduct Miss Helen by Vice-Chairman Cleett."
"what?!"
Hearing this, Ben was astonished. As the head guard of a business family, he knew it well.
"You mean these people are from the Merchants Association?"
"That's what he said. Actually, I don't care."
Rhode waved his hand, then turned around.
"I'm just asking whatever I want."
