ACT13 I'm humble
When Gros called out Eugene's name, the old butler Bulston looked dumbfounded, he looked at Eugene, and then at the young mercenary leader in front of him—
The two are not the slightest similarity in appearance and physical characteristics, therefore, there will never be any blood relationship, and looking at the surprise on Eugene's face, this also shows that the two are not old acquaintances.
Maybe the young mercenary captain knew Eugene, but Eugene definitely didn't know the young man.
"Who are you?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Eugene regained his usual cold look, and he stared at the young man, as if trying to find a little shadow from his memory against his appearance—
Unfortunately, he didn't find the answer in his mind quickly, so he asked again:
"Or, who is your father?"
He felt that he might have known the young man's father.
Gross was still smiling.
Eugene's guess was undoubtedly wrong, his father was Franco, an old farmer in the Nogo countryside, an ordinary man in his life, and if there was anything remarkable about him, it was just a penchant for telling clichéd and cold jokes—
The furthest he'd ever been in his life was a nearby town, so it was almost impossible for him to have anything to do with Eugene, a noble knightly officer in the Talon Fortress.
Gross did not give a positive answer to this -
Although he didn't understand why Eugene, the 10,000-year-old otaku in the game, came to Faun Town, he knew very well that he couldn't let the relationship between them become bad at the moment.
"My father was a soldier."
He lied, his expression calm, and his face did not change color—
When the companions of the mercenary group who knew the details on the side heard this, they couldn't help but admire it in their hearts: the leader (the head of the group) really has a strong psychological quality.
Eugene nodded.
Gross's lie was very clever, and Eugene, as an officer with a high status in the Taron Fortress, did have a lot of ordinary soldiers who recognized him, but he couldn't remember the faces of too many soldiers—
Gross's answer was unverifiable, and after a little thought, Eugene seemed to reluctantly agree with it.
"But I'm curious about your martial arts skills."
However, what people didn't expect was that Eugene's gaze did not take his eyes off Gross's face, and after squinting his eyes at the young mercenary leader for a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes again, and he was full of light.
"You're very strong individually. I don't think you and your family will ever be unknown, and I may have met or known your father. If the son of an ordinary soldier can step into the first level of awakening at this age, then I have to admit that you are indeed a very great genius. ”
"Heh, there are always some amazing and brilliant characters in this world."
Gross replied—
Eugene was able to detect that he had stepped into the first stage of awakening, but he could not tell his true strength, which also made him roughly sure that this guy's current strength was at the first stage of awakening.
"Like you?"
"I'm humble."
"Hahaha, funny boy!" Eugene laughed.
Unconsciously, with Eugene's footsteps, the bodies of the two were only a step closer - Gross was half a head smaller than Eugene, and he saw Eugene raise his head, and there seemed to be a playful smile in his eyes:
"Do you have any ideas to join the Earl? With your strength, you are enough to obtain the title of Chosen Knight. ”
"I'm used to being free."
This is the end of the conversation between the two, and Gross's statement surprises Eugene a little, but he also knows that everyone has their own ambitions, and some things may not be forced, so he quickly put this plan aside.
Of course, he didn't die of this heart.
Eugene's gaze swept over the others in the room.
Among these mercenaries, the weakest person is a young man who is correcting the bow hunting, but he also has the strength of the middle rank close to the high rank;
And the others, including a seemingly delicate blonde girl, all have the strength of the high level of employment, especially when he observed the sloppy man with a red beard and sloppy dress, and found that he actually had the level of almost awakening at the peak of employment, his eyes couldn't help but become serious.
Where did this kid find such a powerful mercenary companion?
He didn't know how many people there were in this so-called mercenary group, but judging from the strength of these people in the room, they even surpassed Baron Cardinor's family background-
Although the Cardinal family has withered since the "Fog Pine War", he was still shocked that such an elite mercenary would appear in the not prosperous town of Faun.
Compared to the surprise a few minutes ago, it is now a visceral shock.
However, Baron Cardinal's statement about hiring these mercenaries as the town's defense force seems quite reliable-
The employment contract brought by the old butler Bulls had been placed on the wooden table, and the young mercenary leader quickly signed his name after carefully reviewing it.
"Gross?"
Eugene was very interested in this mercenary leader who was born in a commoner and was young but had stepped into the first level of awakening, and he thought to himself that he must tell Knight Brant and Count Wolf what he saw today-
There is a natural gap between the status of the aristocracy and the commoners, but if it is a truly good talent, the nobles who hold the power do not mind such a person joining their group and becoming a part of it.
And this is also the secret of the aristocratic ruling system of the Elantra Kingdom that has stood for thousands of years, and the political nobles of the kingdom have such a saying: the best way to destroy the enemy is not to cut off his head, but to make him his own side or ally.
Eugene even thinks that this young mercenary captain deserves to be invited by Lord Earl himself-
Looking at him, he is only in his twenties, and in the history of the kingdom, if he can step into the first stage of awakening at this age and grow up smoothly without accidents, he has all reached the transcendent first order in his early thirties.
Transcendent first-order, strong enough to dominate one side, even in the northern land of the kingdom with many military nobles, there are very few people with extraordinary first-order strength-
There is no such figure in the Tarun region.
Neither did Ensada.
Karthas?
Earl Maddock Collins' grandfather was said to have a superior level of strength, but he had died thirty years ago. There is no such figure in the Collins family at the moment, and perhaps Baron Andrew, who is now twenty-nine years old, has this potential, but he only stepped into the awakening level at the age of twenty-eight last year......
Eugene doesn't know Gross's true age and strength, and those slag-pulling beards that grow vigorously with male hormones are somewhat misleading-
If he knew that this young man had reached the middle level of awakening at the age of less than twenty, he would probably be so shocked that his eyeballs would fall out.
The old butler Boers frowned unhappily when he saw that Eugene and the young man were quickly becoming closer, but no one cared about the unwelcome old fellow.
