Summoning the Holy Sword

What happened?

At the scream of Annie, Rhodes frowned, then stood up and walked over. At this moment, the other mercenaries were also attracted by Annie's shouts and could not help turning their heads.

"What's wrong? Annie?"

"Head ... she's ... she ..."

Facing Rhode's inquiry, Annie pointed at the girl hesitantly and uneasily, apparently not knowing what to say. At this moment, she noticed her movements, and Marin and Li Jie were also curious to peep at the face of the girl who had been enveloped in the cape. Then, their faces changed slightly.

"This is too much!"

Marilyn almost stood up in anger and Li Jie was shocked.

"This this………"

At this moment, with the glow of the flames, Rhodes finally saw the face shrouded in darkness, which made him wonder.

In other words, Rhodes never saw what the girl's face looked like. The long dark purple hair hangs from the girl's forehead, blocking the girl's right eye. Not only that, under the shadow of the cape, starting from the mouth and nose, the girl's face is completely wrapped in a mask made of leather. The restraint is behind. Only in the middle of the nose and mouth, a few small gaps were exposed for breathing air. A closer look also reveals that a sturdy collar is attached to the underside of the mask, which is firmly fixed with a chain and a dark lock, and there is no way to remove it.

Is this torture?

Rhodes frowned. He finally understood the performance of Annie and Marlene. No matter who it was, seeing such a small child being treated this way, I'm afraid he would get angry.

"How is this going?"

"The Holy Spirit is on, this is terrible! Which **** did it ?!"

At this time, the mercenaries also gathered around one after another, and they looked at the girl in front of them in surprise, not knowing what to say. Shana frowned, turning to look at Lando, who was standing beside him.

"Lando, go get the dagger and see if you can take it off."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Upon hearing Shana's order, Lando nodded hurriedly, and just as he was going to turn to pick up the dagger, the girl suddenly reached out and grabbed his corner of clothing, then she shook her hand anxiously and pointed Pointing at his mask, he shook his head again.

"What does it mean?"

Faced with the weird expression of the girl, everyone was stunned, and then Marin said with some uncertainty.

"You mean ... this mask ... you can't take it off?"

"........."

The girl nodded strongly, pointed to her mask, and shook her head. Perhaps because of too much excitement, her breathing was a little short. Soon, the girl began to cough in a low voice. She bent down and put a hand to her mouth, making a low coughing sound, thin and weak body. It seems like a small boat in the raging wind and waves, it looks as if it is about to overturn.

"let me see."

Li Jie hurried up and held the girl's hand, and soon, the warm white light emerged, covering the girl's body. The girl gradually stabilized. She looked up and looked at Li Jie with grateful eyes, and then looked at the crowd accordingly. When she saw Rhodes, the girl's eyes widened slightly, and her body shook. It seemed to want to do something, but in the end it fell forward, fell into Li Jie's arms, and closed her eyes.

"What happened to her? Are you okay?"

Marilyn asked uneasily, and Li Jie shook her head and sighed.

"Nothing, she's just too weak, so she fainted ... maybe a good choice for her to take a break, but ..."

Having said that, Li Jie looked a little more worried in the girl's eyes.

"Through the treatment just now, I found that she was very weak and hadn't eaten for a long time. Not only that, she was also seriously ill-at least not a disease that would be cured in a short while."

"Why do you come out because you are so weak?"

Annie's face was unimaginable, and not only that, but other people also showed incomprehensible expressions. This is not surprising. After all, according to common sense, people who are seriously ill should rest more. Even if there are any difficulties, they don't have to work in this weather. Moreover, the weird leather mask on the girl's face is also confusing. If it was intentionally covered because of any injuries on the girl's face, it would not be so much that it was sewn together with the nose and nose, which is more like Some kind of punishment. But what would a little girl do that deserves punishment? Not to mention such a severe punishment, even those robbers and gangsters who have been accused of doing so will not be treated like this.

"This is not something we are concerned about now."

Just then, Rhodes, who had been silent, spoke.

"Sana, go inside to regenerate a fire and burn some hot water. Li Jie, Marlene, Annie, this child will take care of you. After the water has boiled, you will help her wipe her body and she mixes up and down. It's soaked and I can't fall asleep like that. Those sheep ... I think they should not be a problem, others will take care of it. As for who she is and where she comes from, she won't ask again when she wakes up Late ... Shana, you do n’t need a vigil tonight and leave it to the old Walker. You just have to take care of watching this girl by her side, rest of you as usual. ”

Now that Rhodes has given the order, the others no longer say anything. According to Rhodes's command, they quickly started their respective work. Old Walker took over Shana's post at the entrance of the cave, and other mercenaries quickly found him. Well, while they were curiously talking about this strange thing that happened tonight, they gradually fell into a deep dream. And Ma Lin took Li Jie and Annie to the depths of the cave and lit a fire to burn the hot water to clean the girl's body. Not only that, Ma Lin also very intimately used the spell to create a clay wall, blocking everyone else's Gaze-no matter what, men and women always have something else.

When it's all over, it's late at night.

After Li Jie's Holy Art treatment, the girl who warmed her body fell into deep sleep. And Marin and Annie closed their eyes while lying not far from her. After a day of exhaustion, they were already exhausted. Naturally, they could not support such things for too long. Shana sat quietly beside her, looking at the flaming fire in front of her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

"Mr. Rod, haven't you slept yet?"

Rhode turned his head and saw Li Jie standing behind him, holding the cloak on the girl in her hand, and it seemed that she was planning to dry it.

"Going to bed soon, how is her condition?"

"It's worse than I thought ..."

As soon as she talked about this topic, Li Jie frowned involuntarily. When cleaning the girl's body, her skinny body was already shocking. Not only that, Li Jie also saw many bruises on her body. According to her experience, it should be the scars left after being beaten and hit. Not only Li Jie, but even Marin and Annie can't imagine how cruel people would be for such a weak-looking girl. Not to mention that during Li Jie's inspection, it was also found that these injuries were not a surname, but accumulated over the years. They simply can't imagine what kind of person would be such a poisonous hand to a long-sick girl. Even Marin turned back and said that she had a gentle and gentle attitude, and vowed viciously if she found those guys. They are thoroughly roasted into coke!

"Her physical condition is very poor, and ... she seems to be difficult to cure. I have tried my best, but it has not been effective."

"So ..."

Hearing this, Rhode nodded expressionlessly, then he patted Lijie's shoulder lightly.

"I know, you should rest early, tomorrow we will reach Gaoya Village. I think this girl should be there too ..."

Speaking of which, Rhode was a little less certain. He is no stranger to Gaoya Village, but Rhodes never remembers that there is such a npc in the village. You must know that the dress of a girl is so eye-catching that the player may not notice it. But from the beginning of the game to the time of his departure, there has never been similar information and rumors about this, which made Rhodes very strange. He carefully recalled a series of tasks in Gao Yacun in his mind, but nothing was gained. But this is not good, after all, the continent in the game is always changing, and some npcs will choose to leave or disappear, not to mention that this time is still in the public beta period during the game, the player has never reached the possible surname of Gaoya Village It's not without. If this girl is an npc that only appeared during this period, then of course the player after the game has nowhere to find her.

Or is there anything wrong with this?

"I see, Mr. Rhodes."

Lijie nodded when she heard Rhode's words, but she hesitated, and asked Rhode curiously.

"However, Mr. Rhodes ... do you seem familiar with such things?"

"I have dealt with a similar situation, and I am used to it."

Hearing Lijie's inquiries, Rhodes frowned, and then replied.

"But that was a long time ago ..."

Having said that, Rhode sighed, then he turned his head and looked out of the cave.

The rain is still raining, and the dense rain is getting louder and louder, like a fierce symphony.

"All in all, there's nothing to say, you should take a rest soon."

"Yes ... Mr. Rhodes."

Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Li Jie paused. At that moment, she was convinced that she had noticed a sense of nostalgia in Rhode's eyes. But in the end the girl didn't ask much, but nodded, turned quietly and left.
