Chapter 328: Confession
Seeing that Soth said so confidently, Leonard and Bruno looked at each other again, and finally Leonard took a deep breath and said:
"Your Excellency, please allow us to follow you—"
Soth pinched his chin and thought for a while, he didn't really want to take a large group of people with him, he just thought of himself as a traveler, adventuring in this unknown world, going wherever he wanted, leaving whenever he wanted.
He doesn't want to have a large group of burdens, and he has to take them with him everywhere, of course, this is a bad aspect, but on the other hand, these mercenaries can be regarded as strong according to the standards of ordinary people, especially fifteen people of various professions, which can be regarded as a small army.
And Bruno and Leonard are both masters among ordinary humans, at least in Soth's opinion, Bruno's strength is almost on par with Riley, the vice president of the Mercenary Guild, although Riley controls magic, but Bruno's combat skills are also many.
But this is not enough to be the standard for Soth to allow them to become a member of his command, to be honest, Soth's own strength is strong enough, he doesn't need others to become the embellishment of his power to enhance his strength, so the strength of Bruno's group of mercenaries is almost not considered.
So there is only one criterion left for Soss to consider, and that is: fun.
In the eyes of Soth, who doesn't care about his strength, there is probably only one criterion for the person who can make him willing to travel with him, and that is fun, after all, staying with interesting people will not be boring.
Bruno, are they interesting? Sos asked himself, this is really a difficult question to answer, Bruno they can be considered more interesting, such as Leonard, this guy who thinks he is clever and always thinks of himself as the brains of the whole team, and he is full of drama, which makes Sos think it is quite interesting to watch.
And Bruno is a fierce person who immediately fights when he encounters someone stronger, and if he doesn't consider his actual combat value, he just treats him like a monkey, then it can also meet the standard of fun.
This made Soth very distressed, he knocked his head, but decided to ask again, after all, these two people would not take refuge in themselves just because they were robbed of money and couldn't continue to stay.
If you really believe in this kind of reason, then Sos Ke will become a fool, fifteen such powerful mercenaries, do anything casually, no matter how bad it is, you can get money by visiting the nobles' homes, mercenaries are the existence of the most disregard for the law, because they are a group living on the battlefield.
"Why on earth do you have to take refuge in me?" Soth asked bluntly, a question that made Bruno and Leonard look at each other for a long time.
Finally gritted his teeth, Leonard still had a tangled and hesitant expression on his face.
"Actually...... I'm going to take refuge with you, my lord—just to get refuge......" Leonard said something that Soth didn't understand, as if sad.
"Asylum, is there someone chasing you?" was the only reason he could think of.
"No—or not exactly—" Leonard grimaced, as if he had had been caught up in the world's worst fortune.
"I'll tell you—" Bruno took over, and the room looked at him with interest, as if expecting him to tell a funny story.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Bruno's mouth, he sorted out his emotions a little, and said slowly: "Actually, we came to Sanafria this time to accept a mission. ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone, and his voice became serious, not like the slick mercenary who was desperate to slap him out of fear of Soth, but really like a soldier who had gone to battle.
"Are you sure that everyone here is reliable?" As if he was about to reveal some big secret, Bruno confirmed the matter to Soth over and over again, as if something terrible would happen if it was leaked.
"Don't worry, Bruno, I think you'd better get to the end of your story, and as for your so-called secret, do you understand what I think?"
Soth gouged his ears as he cocked up his stool, yawned and looked at the bright moon outside the window, then turned his head to stare at Bruno, and said word by word:
"I don't care at all—you understand? Your mission—secrets—conspiracy—I don't care about any of these things—I think you understand what I'm saying?"
Bruno froze, apparently annoyed Soth by their repeated questioning, and he almost forgot what kind of strong man was sitting in front of him.
"If it was Mr. South, maybe even the mysterious guy in that organization wouldn't be a match. Bruno remembered the stories he had heard about the big men, the strong and the heroes he had heard on his mission and on his travels.
These heroic powerhouses are usually fearless, and this fearlessness also comes from their great strength, and they even ignored this, and the fear they showed in front of Lord Soth, Bruno's heart was gloomy, maybe at this moment, the role of his group of mercenaries has been reduced a lot in Lord Soth's heart.
"Yes, I see-" In order to make up for his mistake as much as possible, Bruno hurriedly bowed his head, and said in a respectful tone, dryly:
"Actually, we received a mission from a mysterious person this time, and this time we came to Sanafriya to participate in the war. ”
"War?!" The first to be uncalm was Sasha, his face pale in the moonlight, and Rooney and Avril sitting next to him had ugly expressions.
"You're saying - here, Sanafria - there will be war?!" Sasha looked like he couldn't accept what Bruno said, but Bruno responded positively;
"Yes, there will be war in Sanaavria-"
Sasha stumbled back, his calf slammed into the leg of the chair behind him, and muttered to himself:
"It shouldn't be—the autumn harvest is coming, it's not the season of war—and even if it's war, who are our opponents?"
"Calm down, Sasha-" Looking at the lost rookie adventurer, Soth let out a loud shout, like a sharp arrow piercing the mist, instantly recalling Sasha's spirit.
"I'm sorry - Lord Soth, I was rude. Sasha was embarrassed that even though Sanavria was his hometown, he shouldn't be so excited.
"Well, listen to Bruno. Sos nodded, and motioned to Bruno to continue, the latter showed a grateful look, Bruno really has no good way to deal with the runaway Sasha, maybe only Sos can scold him, after all, Sos is currently the highest status among all the people here.
