Chapter 15: Covetousness

It's nearly midnight, but the small inns in the town of Beate are still bustling.

A merchant who lived on the second floor was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, and he opened the door and gave angry eyes to the messy mercenaries in the hall, but a powerful looking man gave him a blank look, and he was so frightened that he quickly closed the door.

The girl and Dimi are discussing plans to infiltrate Eusta Manor.

The green and strong parts of the Yolanta region have to go to the battlefield of the Five Nations Alliance, and the security maintenance in the territory is stretched. Eusta, who is in charge of the day-to-day affairs of the locality, has to pay out of his own pocket to hire "Briar" and free adventurers to be in charge of the day-to-day security of the manor, which gives the girl and Dimi the opportunity to infiltrate the manor.

Elizabeth? Douglas was imprisoned somewhere on the estate.

The girl didn't notice that while she was talking to Dimi, there was a pair of eyes staring at her all the time.

……

At the table.

The stakes are getting bigger and bigger. "Bull's Eye" ended his gamble early. A trivial scolding sounded, and "Bull's Eye" didn't bother to pay attention to them at all. As a bookmaker, he has already made a small profit, and he doesn't care what others think.

"Bull's Eye" was still cleaning up the copper plates that filled the table, and a tall and thin figure wearing a cloak and hood with a war knife stuck in his waist sat next to him.

"Say." "Bull's Eye" didn't look at the man, and muttered.

The tall, thin figure let out a disdainful chuckle. It was a somewhat shrill female voice. At this moment, there are no less than twenty mercenaries on the first floor of the hotel, but including the girl, there are only three female warriors in total.

"There's something," said the cloaked mercenary, "you need to do it." ”

"Say." "Bull's eye" still only answered one syllable.

The mercenary's face under the hood was a "hideous" and terrifying face full of scars, half of which seemed to have been splashed with strong acid, completely disfigured.

The mercenary leaned closer to the "bull's eye" and whispered in her ear. "Bull's Eye" stopped moving his hand and frowned.

"Let me help you get the woman that your head has a crush on?" "Bull's eye" frowned "...... Let your regimental commander come to me himself. ”

The disfigured mercenary approached the "bull's eye" and put one hand on his shoulder, while the other hand quietly stuffed a full money bag into the "bull's eye" pocket. "Bull's Eye" felt the weight on his waist: it was undoubtedly a whole bag of silver coins.

"Bull's Eye" snorted.

"You don't want to be seen?"

"You just have to say yes, or ......," the mercenary's voice cooled.

"I promised." The "bull's eye" watch said expressionlessly, and continued to arrange the copper coins on the table.

"Don't you ask the head of the regiment who he fancies?" The mercenary wondered.

"Of course it's the little girl in the corner," said the "bull's eye" with a smile, "and there are only five women in this room." Which waitress did your head take a fancy to, and he was still trying to play tricks? Or did he take a fancy to the yellow-faced woman? ”

The mercenary smiled awkwardly. Needless to say, the three female mercenaries in the room, in addition to herself, the woman with small eyes, a high nose bridge, and a sallow face at the next table can only be regarded as a middle and lower level among the rude female mercenaries, and their head naturally looks down on them, let alone specifically looking for "bull's eyes" to help.

"I took the money," Bull's Eye glanced at the mercenary, "I'll naturally do something for you." What, questioning my creditworthiness? ”

The mercenary shook her head repeatedly. They can also rank in the top three among the illegal mercenary groups of the Five Nations Alliance, but they don't want to easily offend this "bull's eye" with their hands and eyes. As he spoke, "Bull's Eye" had already put the last copper coin on the gambling table into the money bag, but the corner of his eye was spinning around the girl in the corner.

"That little girl," "Bull's Eye" muttered as he tied the new money bag with a rope, "Well, your head has a good eye." Two more years...... No, it's now, a little dressed up, and it's also a first-class beauty. Hmph, I didn't think that in this kind of place, such first-class goods could be dug up. ”

The mercenary looked uneasy: "Be careful with me, bull's eye." "There are a lot of mercenary groups in them, but only three of them have arrived in Okad this time, and they can be hired by Mr. Eusta all rely on "bull's eyes" to be the middle people, without "bull's eyes", they are really "lonely".

"You also tell your regimental commander," Bull's Eye said indifferently, "tell him to be patient." This little girl, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get it. ”

"Because that...... Boy? The mercenary glanced suspiciously at Dimi, who was sitting next to the girl.

"He's officially the 'Briar'." "Bull's eye" said.

"I see," the mercenary snorted, "No wonder, no wonder." But he didn't care much in his tone.

"That's all I have to say, anyway, you still have to carry out the mission together, and there is a chance," "bull's eye" said too lazy, "you wait for me to act." Your regiment commander must not be reluctant to be careless first...... I don't care. With that, the bulls-eyed man lay on the table, as if he were asleep.

The mercenary sighed. Their head is good at everything, but there is one thing: greed! That's it, so he can't get along in the mercenary guild, so he can only come out and work alone. The girl was just a "mercenary" who suddenly broke in, and their head immediately wanted to get it!

The hooded mercenary couldn't help but look at the girl a few more times.

Even female warriors who are looking for flexibility often get a light leather armor to protect themselves. But the maiden, dressed in black cloth, seemed to have completely abandoned her defenses, and was more of a thief or scout than a warrior. But how could a thief choose such a "bulky" weapon as a hammer spear?

In the eyes of the hooded mercenary, the reason why the girl is like this is either because she is too inexperienced, or she is shy in her pocket, and she can't afford to spend on armor at all. It's this seemingly delicate hammer spear, I'm afraid she didn't buy it herself-look at her small body, how much strength can she have? Most of them were stolen or picked up weapons.

"It's just a trash fish." The hooded mercenary thought to herself. This kind of miscellaneous fish, or a woman, no one will want to be a soldier for the lord in the Five Nations Alliance, be a miscellaneous soldier and cannon fodder, maybe one day she will suddenly die.

"With this kind of posture, it's better to be a concubine for the old man, or a 'guard' for someone's son, and have a better time, but it's a pity to meet our regiment leader," the hooded mercenary said in her heart, "Or is the boy next to her ...... Well, he was a full member of the Mercenary Guild at a young age, and it was indeed possible that he was connected by family. ”

"Got it?" The slender regimental commander, dressed in thick leather armor, was talking "warmly" with a waitress when he heard his subordinates coming back, and said without looking back.

"Alright." The mercenary in the hood said respectfully. This time, the head of the regiment only brought two people out, promising not to touch women on the way...... It only lasted three days, and then it was lost.

……

"Heh......"

The "bull's eye" lying on the table, his eyes half open and half closed, but he could see everything that happened in the room clearly.

"Specially brought such a disfigured ugly monster out of the house, Tommen, my old friend, you also want to 'mend your ways,'" "Bull's Eye" muttered to himself, "It's a pity, I can't hold it back!" Tsk......"

Captain Tomman's temper that he can't walk when he sees a woman is also famous.

"I'll be able to help you a little bit." patted the bulging money bag on his waist, and a peculiar smile appeared on the face of the "bull's eye".

Ever since Alexei, the leader of the strongest illegal mercenary group of the Five Nations Alliance, disappeared from the Empire with his men, the illegal mercenaries of the Five Nations Alliance have been in chaos. Every regimental commander wanted to sit in Alexei's place...... But this position is not so easy to stay.
