"Hello, Captain Byron."

A familiar face appeared in front of Byron's eyes, the cook who called herself "Mary", dressed in dark clothes, standing in front of Byron's bedside, holding a dagger that glittered in the moonlight, looking at Byron with a slight smile.

Byron immediately touched the short sword he usually kept next to the bed, but as soon as the other party's hand touched behind him, the short sword appeared in his hand.

Byron felt a chill spread from his feet to his shoulders, and he couldn't even sweat out.

Byron did his best to stabilize himself and not let himself be ugly.

At this time, Byron's brain was extremely clear, and he quickly thought about who might have sent the other party and what he would do to him.

The other party could have killed him in his sleep, but he didn't do it, and the other party's purpose was obviously not to kill him directly. Regardless, Byron felt that the two sides could still talk.

"What do you want to do?"

Byron asked, trying his best to maintain a calm and composed appearance.

"Don't worry, Mr. Byron, I don't want to do anything to hurt you."

The other party laughed, and his voice became completely different from the previous Mary, the voice was clear and pleasant, maybe this was her real voice, but now Byron was in no mood to talk to the other party about her voice.

Byron opened his mouth to ask what the other party wanted, and if the other party wanted his money, then let her take it, anyway, his own money was not all in one place. If she wants to get any information, it will be bad news for her team, so she can do her best to perfunctory, if it really doesn't work, she will recruit it, nothing is important.

"I want to get a job, with you."

But before he could speak, the other party's words startled him, and Byron's eyes widened, almost thinking that he had misheard.

"You have seen my abilities, and although it may make you a little unhappy, I am sure that you will need me."

The other party smiled very confidently, put away the dagger, and returned the short sword to him.

"The Peony mercenary has been recruiting, and I've observed it during this time, you won't refuse someone who is capable, even if his background is not very clean, right?"

Every word of the little girl's words reached Byron's heart, and if it weren't for the impact on his reputation, Byron would not refuse to allow the robber to join him. Although their quality is very poor and the atmosphere is bad, there are some jobs that they will do very easily.

"But who the hell are you? I'm happy with your strength, and if you can prove that you're not a competitor, I'll be happy to hire you. ”

Byron thought about it for a while, although it was scary, but if the other party could really use it for himself, he could still hire it, and it would be okay to offer hero-level treatment.

"My name is Cress..."

When he heard the other man's name, Byron sat up straighter, and in his heart he also decided to hire the other man.

Because just like Jamila Fatis, Kress is also a part of the Knight's Slash Heroes, and the youngest of all the heroes!

"Oh my God, why didn't I think of that sooner!"

Byron thought to himself.

However, Kress didn't care about his performance and began to tell his story.

"I was born near a castle, my father died at an early age, and my mother inherited the land. But those bastard relatives of my family robbed my mother's field, and we lost almost everything. ”

"Since I was very young, my mother and I have traveled a lot and spent time in many villages. We don't have any money, but even then those guys will bully us and have fun with it. They inflicted their own pain on us, and at that time, I learned to pickpocket with my friends who had lost their parents, figured out how to pick locks, and catch rats to fill my stomachs. I even learned how to slit someone's throat with a dagger with a few men, and it only took a few simple strokes. I don't even know how I survived. But I knew that after my mom passed away, I was able to live in the world on my own. ”

"I can't write, but I can cut off the fingers of those who can write with a dagger. I knew where the human heart was, and I knew that a person could be killed by a stab between those ribs. Of course, even if that person wasn't next to me, I could have stuck a throwing knife into his throat exactly five meters away. ”

"I have lived in the shadows for a long time, and no fewer have died under my hands than those warriors under yours. If you need me to open the treasure chest, or cut open the intestines of a person and remove the gold coins inside, I will be happy to do it. ”

"As for why I'm here, it's not complicated. I used to work as a helper in a lord's house, where I learned to make groceries, and that's what I do now. They treated me well, but one day I saw Madame's jewelry, and I couldn't refuse it..."

Cress said this, and took out a jewel-encrusted pin, the most beautiful ornament on the breasts of the ladies at the feast. Byron had seen a lot of the market, and he was sure that the little pin was worth more than 150 dinars.

"I escaped from there, and I survived on my own along the way. I've come to Deherim, and I've heard that you're recruiting, and I've inquired from some acquaintances, and I don't think a man who can buy off the gangsters in the city won't turn me down. I've been looking for a job at your camp for almost a month, and I'm now sure that I made the right decision. ”

"So, will you hire me, Captain Byron? But I can guarantee that if you try to catch me, you won't succeed. ”

Kress had a very confident expression, and she was fully confident that she would stab Byron in the heart with a dagger before he drew his sword. When he slept in his room, Byron didn't wear armor, and he had no protection against the dagger.

"Good, Cress. I want to congratulate you on being hired by me. I think the 10 dinars a week should be satisfying, and you'll get what you get when you kill enemies on the battlefield. It's great to have a wonderful assassin join us, follow us, no one can judge you. ”

Although Byron was shocked at why this young girl was so cruel, he still persuaded himself with the reasons forced by life and the impact of the environment, and took possession in a way that was acceptable to the other party, and extended an invitation to the other party.

"You'll have the final say, boss."

Kress nodded, crossed his arms and smiled again.

She trusted Byron and joined Byron's ranks. And she was also assured of her own safety, it seemed to her that no one in Byron's team could catch her when she wanted to leave.
