Summoning the Holy Sword

When Rhode and the others returned to the base, Marlene had already changed her clothes. She stood in the hall while gazing out the window. She couldn’t help but feel startled and turn around when she heard a sound of the door.

“How come you guys came back so early?”

“The battle ended quickly, that’s why we came back earlier… how do you feel?”

Rhode nodded and replied. But as Marlene heard Rhode’s voice, she lowered her head, feeling flustered, not even answering Rhode’s question. This scene made Lize feel a little strange, due to her understanding of Marlene. She shouldn’t be the type to get flustered when someone asked her something. What happened? Has she not awoken yet? Or does she feel uncomfortable somewhere?

At this moment, Marlene seemed to realize that her behavior was a little strange. She lightly coughed and when she looked up, her facial expression had returned to usual.

“How come it ended so early? Supposedly now the second game has just started, right?”

“You’re right. We only had one match. Barter was difficult to deal with, but fortunately, we still won.”

Rhode simply told Marlene about the bet he had with Barter. Afterward, he looked at his own cloak and said.

“Marlene, go get ready. We still have something important to do. I’ll go and change my clothes.”

The door’s knocking sound awakened Marlene from her daydream. She trembled then looked at Rhode who was nodding towards her.

“Let’s go, Ms. Marlene.”

The temporary base that they currently lived in was a Security Corps base in the past. Therefore, there were a lot of prisons here. Followed with the relocation of the Security Corps, these prisons naturally lose their function and turned into cellars for storing food. However, even so, they still retain some of the features of the prison. When Rhode and Marlene walked into the ground, Gillian was swinging and sitting around the chair. Not far behind her, Ellenson and that man were chained by a fire whip. The man was still unconscious at this moment and Gillian looked extremely bored. It seemed that if he were a little bit later, she would have fallen into sleep.

“Oh, master, you are finally here!”

Seeing Rhode and Marlene, Gillian immediately jumped and lazily yawned.

“Yes, if you come a little later, I’m going to be bored to death. The humidity in this place is so heavy and it isn’t good for the skin…”

“How are they?”

Rhode didn’t seem to care about her complaints and directly inquired.

“They are still unconscious, Sir. The effect of Lapis’s potion is pretty good; if I knew, I wouldn’t have to guard them…”

“It’s always better to be more careful.”

Rhode shook his head, then he walked up towards the man and opened the potion in his hand. Soon, a pungent stench spread out.

Even Marlene and Gillian couldn’t help but step back while holding their nose. Rhode himself also couldn’t help but twitch his nose. He quickly came closer to the unconscious man, squeezed his mouth and poured the potion in.

The effect was very good.

Less than five seconds, the man opened his eyes. He curled up, wretched and struggled. It seemed that the potion wasn’t as simple as just having a pungent stench.

A moment later, the man looked up as he wheezed. He blinked and looked at everything before him awkwardly, then he locked his sight at Rhode, who was standing in front of him.

“You, who are you!”

The man shouted and asked. He struggled hard and found out that he had been tied up. However, the man’s response was really fast. He just stopped struggling immediately and glared at Rhode.

“No matter who you are… Do you know that you won’t be able to afford the consequences for treating me like this?!”

“Tch.”

Hearing his intimidation, Rhode only coldly snorted and heavily kicked his lower abdomen. This blow caused him involuntarily groaned and instinctively curled up. At this time, Rhode lowered his head and whispered to him.

“Alanic’s son of a b*tch, it seems that you still do not understand the situation you’re currently in. Did you inherit your low IQ from the orcs?”

“You…!!”

Hearing this, the man looked at Rhode in disbelief. He coldly glared at Rhode but he didn’t know what to say.

Marlene also looked at Rhode in surprise as she heard Rhode’s words.

“Alanic?”
