Chapter Eighty-Eight: Garcia's Guarantee
"What did she tell you...... But he never mentioned it to me. When Helliga and Garcia returned to the puppeteer's workshop and found LΓ©vy, who had returned early and was lying in bed leisurely, and told him what they had just seen, Levi's face was confused, "Of course, I never asked these ......"
"When you were a country boy, you probably knew something about the legend of the second revival of the empire." "According to that, didn't you have any such thoughts when you saw her?" β
"Nope. Although it is a legend that is basically well-known in the Empire, no one will know about it in a remote place like "Hamel", which is difficult for even itinerant priests to cover. Levi shook his head, "Looks like she's ...... herself Although he is already in the "association", he still cares about the affairs of the empire. β
"The exact circumstances are still unknown. Seriously, I don't believe that the Seventh Apostle of the Seven Yao Church who doesn't know about the "association" is Liana Sandrot herself, who was bestowed the supreme title of Holy Maiden by them. But for some reason, both the church and the association treat her as a special being. β
"Don't you have some contact with the church? If you're in doubt, just ask. Levi suggested.
"Maybe...... It's a lot of fun, but I don't see anything particularly relevant to my plan yet, so it's not too late to deal with it when I realize it. Heliga looked at Levi's injuries again, "You are injured...... It seems that there is no need to take you out of the house. You can rest here. I'll take Garcia to find someone. β
"Looking for someone?" Levi asked suspiciously, "What other acquaintances do you have in the autonomous prefecture?" I don't take him to the police or guerrillas to turn himself in. β
"Of course not. As the saying goes, you can't do without money - the activities of the two of you also need a certain amount of financial security. β
"I see...... It's the Black Moon. "But, wasn't he from the Rubacher side before?" If I have to say, these two sides are enemies who share the sky. β
"Rubacher is dead. There may only be grievances between people, but between organizations and organizations, between countries, it is mainly the issue of interests that is most prominent. What's more, Garcia himself didn't like that President Malconi very much, and he was always by his side, just out of professionalism that he wanted to be worthy of that salary. β
"Really...... Well, I won't bother you. Levi's heart tingled slightly, but he understood that what Heliga said was the truth, "Go ahead." β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"That 'Sword Emperor'...... There seemed to be a moment just now, and my expression was particularly lost. "Leaving the puppet workshop, bypassing the bustling city and taking another side road on the outskirts of the city to East Street, Garcia and Heliga walked and chatted.
After all, his hometown was destroyed as a pawn in the conflict of interests between countries. And he also lost important relatives because of it. "Every time he brings up the subject, he has this look on his face. β
"Yes." Garcia sighed, it was true that he was a top mercenary who had killed countless people, but that didn't mean he didn't have a little empathy, "What's going on?" β
"The main war faction of the empire needed an excuse to go to war with Liber, so they directed and staged a scene to find scattered hunters disguised as Liber's army, and attacked and sacked a border village." Heliga told Garcia all this, also out of an attempt to express his trust in him, "After the defeat of the war, in order to cover up this scandal, the Imperial side used it to blackmail Liber as one of the bargaining chips for the truce. The end result was that all his neighbors and villagers in his homeland were slaughtered, leaving only him and his lover's brother - and both nations remained silent about the matter out of their own interests, as if it had never happened in this world. β
ββ¦β¦ No wonder. Garcia could understand Levy's reaction just nowβeven if he knew the truth and the truth was true, the instinct of a human being as a sensual animal would still affect his emotions," but ...... A hunter who is willing to take on this errand...... It's really scum. β
Indeed...... Zephyr would never accept a mission to attack the common people. However, the "Red Constellation" does it occasionally. Haliga remembered Randy's story, "Are they scum too?" β
"Of course." Garcia snorted lightly, "But their combat effectiveness is really strong enough, even if they commit this kind of crime from time to time, neither the 'Qiyao Church' nor the Guerrilla Association can do anything to them all at once." And because of their strength, even if they are notorious, there will still be many people who are willing to hire them to act...... In this regard, the "Chasseurs of the North" are slightly better. After all, their mission is to send the necessary funds to their barren homeland, so they fear that their bad reputation will make them lose their market in the hunting world. β
"I see...... Hunters are really complicated. Heliga suddenly realized, "Alright...... Don't talk about that. Think about yourself. Seriously, I'm going to meet Black Moon soon...... Anyway, you've been fighting in this city for years, so this kind of grievance shouldn't be forgotten, right? β
"yes...... Now that I think about it, it really doesn't feel very realistic. Garcia smiled wryly, "I don't have any emotions here...... I just don't know what that's going on. β
"Don't worry. In terms of this kind of rationality in dealing with business issues, "Black Moon" will not be much worse than you. At least not a big fight as soon as we meet. Speaking of Garcia, when you were in "Rubacher", were you in charge of the account reporting? I remember that you, the second master, were mainly responsible for the external affairs of the armed forces, right? β
"Yes. Although I didn't learn anything like that, the early "Rubacher" was very short of manpower, and it was kind of dabbling in it at that time. However, don't ask me for questions that are too deep. β
"Good...... In this case, I can also leave some small questions to you with confidence. With Garcia's assurance, Heiliga's worries were put down.
During the conversation, the plaque of "Black Moon Trading Company" has appeared in the field of vision.
