Anyone who knows Rhodes will know one of his characteristics.

That is, he really, really hates being mistaken for a woman.

After getting along for so long, Lijie also understands this, and although Marlene didn't know the way at first, she gradually discovered this characteristic of Rod. Even old Walker never joked about it, because they all knew very well that this was Rod's reverse scale, and once it was lifted, God knew what would happen to the Dao.

And now, this strange girl is so bold and gorgeous.

For a while, a cold feeling of the coming of the end immediately made the three of them shiver.

"I'm sorry, this young lady."

Rhodes didn't get as angry as everyone thought, he just pulled his hand out of the girl's hand without changing his face, and then spoke.

"I'm male."

"Male?"

Hearing Rod's answer, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she carefully observed Rod's for a moment, then showed an innocent smile again and patted Rod's shoulder.

"Big brother, I really didn't see that you were so beautiful!"

In terms of danger, she has already entered the nuclear reaction zone after a double jump......

"This young lady ......"

"Anne's name is Anne, Anne. Verroga, it's okay to call Anne Anne, right? Big brother. ”

"So...... Anne ......"

Rod reached out and pressed his forehead, and after a long while, he continued to speak to the girl in front of him.

"Although it is true that I asked Walker to look for it, but I have not recognized you as a mercenary group now, first of all, you have to pass my test, only if I admit that you are qualified, then you can join, otherwise you can join, otherwise ........." Speaking of this, Rod turned his head and glanced at the strange old Walker.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to withhold his salary as compensation."

"No problem!"

I don't know if the girl didn't understand at all, or didn't intend to listen at all, as soon as Rod's words were finished, she couldn't wait to nod her head in agreement, and the girl knocked on the shield in her hand, while showing a smug and confident smile.

"Whatever the test, please come on, Anne absolutely no problem."

"Good."

Hearing the girl's answer, Rhodes nodded, and then he turned around, and his cold eyes looked at the extremely ugly old Walker without any pause.

"Well, then, Mr. Walker, you don't mind doing me a favor, it's the Commander's order."

“………………”

Since it's all an order, you asked me if I mind having a hair.

Facing Rod's eyes, the old man rolled his eyes helplessly - at this moment, he had no other way but to resign himself to fate.

Rod's test is very simple, he asks the girl to ensure that the old ranger is not harmed at all within a certain period of time, as long as it can be completed, then it is considered to be a test. And the reason why he did this naturally has Rhodes's reason.

After coming to this world, Rhodes found that there were subtle gaps in the methods in many games. Take the MT profession as an example, after the game, the player only needs to make a taunt and shout "grandson", and the monster will obediently follow him. However, in the real world, it is not so simple, and low-level monsters will obviously focus on the enemies who do the most damage to them. And those enemies with a certain amount of intelligence are even more difficult to deal with. When facing the necromancer, Rhodes also tried to let the shield warrior of the Red Eagle Mercenary Regiment make a cameo appearance in MT's work, but unfortunately, no matter how hard the other party tried, the necromancer did not look at him, but focused on Rhodes, who was waiting to give him a blow at any time, obviously he was not a high threat to him, and the damage was not much......... It can be seen that there is still a gap between reality and the game itself. …,

However, this does not mean that MT is useless in reality, in fact, whether it is reality or games, the main task of MT is not output, but protection. However, in the game, MT protects his teammates from damage by actively attracting and taunting monsters. But in reality, he can only play the role of passive guardian most of the time. This requires him to have good reflexes, protection and coping skills, otherwise, no one will trust his life to be safe.

And that's exactly what Rhodes tested.

"Hey! Boy, you're a communiqué vendetta!! ”

Standing pale on the lawn in the back garden, Old Walker protested loudly, but it was clear that Rhodes had made a final judgment and would not accept appeal.

"This is a fair choice, Mr. Walker, this young lady was chosen by you, so presumably you should believe in her strength, now, take it easy, believe that she can do it, isn't this what you should do?"

"Don't think that if you say it so nicely, I don't know what you want to do! You bad-bellied boy! ”

Old Walker waved his fist angrily, but then he immediately looked nervously at Anne standing in front of him, raised the shield in his right hand, and looked carefully at Anne in front of him.

"Little guy, I'll leave my life to you, you must handle it!"

"Don't worry, old man, it's absolutely fine, probably."

"What absolutely, probably, don't say the last word! In vain, I trust you so much! ”

Without waiting for old Walker to say anything more, Rhodes was already in action.

He stretched out his hand, and three cards appeared in the air, and then, with the summoning circle shining, the centaur knight, the black hound, and the soul bird immediately appeared.

"So handsome, what is this?"

Seeing this scene in front of her, the girl's eyes widened in surprise, which made old Walker startled.

"Don't get distracted! Little guy, that kid knows how to pretend to be a ghost, be careful, don't touch that black dog, it will explode! ”

"From now on, three minutes, as long as you can hold on for three minutes and not let the old Walker get hurt, then you can pass the test."

As he spoke, Rod looked at Marlene, who was standing next to him watching the show, and nodded slightly.

"You come to keep the time."

"Good, Mr. Rhodes."

In response, Marlene took out a pocket watch from her bosom, and then Rod snapped his fingers.

"Give it to me."

“————！！”

As if in response to Rod's command, the three summoning elves roared in their own different ways, and then they rushed forward.

The first to bear the brunt is still the black hound who is the captain of the kamikaze, since the continuous self-detonation, this poor summoned elf seems to have awakened some not very good attributes, looking at it at the moment as usual as at home but with some excited expressions——— if it is a human, maybe consider seeing a psychiatrist.

And at this time, the girl who had always been smiling finally restrained the smile on her face and began to become serious.

She bowed her body slightly, held the shield in front of her, and made a standard starting gesture, and then, with a soft sound of "ballast", sharp tooth-like barbs drilled out of the gaps on both sides of the shield, shining with a cold cold light. And at this moment, the black hound also howled and pounced.

The girl shouted angrily, swung the shield in her hand vigorously, and slammed it forward.

The huge and heavy shield, weighing more than a dozen kilograms, seemed to be waved as if nothing was in the girl's hand, but the whistling sound it made proved that its weight was not fiction. The black hound didn't expect the other party's movements to be so fast, and he was immediately smashed head-on and flew away, wailing and flying backwards backwards for a distance, and then rolled to the ground. …,

But at this moment, the centaur knight has also been killed.

The thick knight's spear stabbed forward, but the girl suddenly changed the direction of the shield as the shield was about to make contact with it, sliding diagonally away from the impact of the centaur knight, and then she raised the shield in her hand violently, and knocked the knight's spear that was stabbing old Walker into the air. Although the contact was dangerous, the girl did not let her guard down at this moment, on the contrary, after crashing into the spear of the centaur knight, she immediately smashed her shield to the ground.

"Ka!"

The heavy shield immediately slid down, and then turned into a huge full-body shield that enveloped the girl's body, and the underside of the shield plunged heavily into the ground. Almost at the same time, the shield held by the centaur's other hand flew in and slammed into the giant shield.

"Bang!!"

The muffled sound made everyone present jump in their hearts, and the huge recoil force made the centaur shake its body and retreat. And the girl also took half a step back——— but unlike the centaur, she had another purpose.

The soul bird that had been hovering in the night sky finally roared down.

As a creature condensed by the wind element, the speed of the soul bird was almost incomparable to that of the other two, and everyone only saw a flash of blue light, and the soul bird was about to hit Walker.

It's over.

Looking at the turquoise bird that appeared in front of his eyes in an instant, the old ranger shouted in his heart that it was not good, but he had nothing to do. After all, the speed of the soul bird was too fast, and it was unlikely that even old Walker wanted to react. At this moment, old Walker burst into tears in his heart——— is he really going to be deducted from his salary?

As the old ranger prayed in silence for the money he was about to lose, an arm pulled him back from the edge of the cliff.

The girl grabbed old Walker's collar and pressed down on him, then held the shield in front of her.

The unsuspecting old Walker didn't react at all, and was immediately pressed to the ground, but the soul bird, which had lost its target, did not give up, on the contrary, it roared, still mixed with the sound of the wind, and then slammed into the shield.

"Boom!!"

Woooooo

Old Walker only felt a tremendous force coming from the girl's body and all the way to himself, which made the poor old man feel like a flattened piece of meat, unable to breathe at all. And just as he was about to cry out for help, he felt a lightness on his body, and then old Walker saw that the girl had jumped up.

The girl in mid-air looked so relaxed, but the expression on her face was quite serious, and in the face of the three summoned elves that attacked again, the girl stretched out her left hand, took out another shield from the inside of the impact shield, and then quickly threw it.

"Whew!!"

The sharp, barbed shield spun around the girl at once, and in a short time it formed a whirlwind barrier, completely isolating the three summoned elves.

Seeing this scene, Rhodes raised his eyebrows, and then he suddenly drew his long sword and threw it forward.

The light flashed, and the silver-white blade pierced the night sky and rushed into the whirlwind.

"Boom!!"

With a light incense, the blade storm finally stopped.

In it, Old Walker had already sat down on the ground in fright, and behind him, a deep trace of sword qi was clearly visible.

In front of him, the girl half-raised her shield, and the scars on it were shocking.

At the same time, Marlene held up her pocket watch.

Three minutes to to.

"Well done, Miss Anne."

Rod put away his sword.

"I already know your strength......... Frankly, you do fit my requirements, but after all, this is just a test, and I will wait and see how you will perform in actual combat, and I hope you don't disappoint me. ”

"Don't worry, big brother."

The girl put away her shield, and a youthful and enthusiastic smile reappeared on her face.

"I won't let you down!!"

"I hope so."

In the face of the girl's vow, Rod didn't say anything more, he just nodded, and then looked to the side.

"Lijie, you take her to a room, Marlene, you can go and rest. As for you........."

With that, Rhodes turned his head to look at old Walker, who was getting up from the ground.

"Mr. Walker, come to my study, I want to know how that thing went."
