The Sealed Place (8)

A violent tremor forced the mercenaries to halt.

What happened?

While the mercenaries looked at each other in confusion, Rhode's expression turned gloomy. A system prompt appeared informing him that Lapis was in grave danger.

Due to the mercenary group system, Rhode was able to receive information of important members of the group, especially when they were in danger or close to death.

When Rhode was configuring his Stronghold settings, the first member he chose to monitor was neither Lize, Marlene, nor Anne. Instead, it was Lapis. Compared to the three, Lapis' ability to protect herself was almost nonexistent. Rhode even believed that even if she were given a knife to fight a defenseless enemy, she would end up injuring herself instead.

Nevertheless, disregarding her combat ability, Lapis' importance to the mercenary group was indisputable. She was an expert in manufacturing — a rarely seen trait among mercenaries.
