Chapter 7 Identity Transition

"Do you need Kimpton?" Don't skip words.

Such a sudden sound, especially from behind, immediately caused the thin mercenary to roll forward like a frightened rabbit, and after entering the shadow of the surrounding rubble, he immediately ran in the direction of the pontoon bridge - the situation at the scene, even a child could understand that there had just been a battle between life and death, and that kind of battlefield-like situation proved that tragedy.

And in this case, who will still exist here?

One of the two sides?

Or a third party?

Or is it ......

Aside from the fact that the other party was certain that the other party was not a mercenary who had accepted the same mission as him, there were too many other possibilities, and even other features of the Sennuma District that might be passing by—and either way, the strength of the other party had already been proved by the decision; Being able to get close behind him without him knowing it is the best proof of this; The skinny mercenary may not have any confidence in other abilities, but he has a considerable ego about finding and the most basic perception of tracking.

At the very least, among the mercenaries in the entire Thousand Pond District, he was sure that he would be within ten yards of anyone who came close to him, and it was only after the other party spoke up that he found out - so the other party had been standing behind him like this before?

The thought of this possibility made the thin mercenary shudder—if this was the case, then his life and death were undoubtedly in the hands of the other party, and this fear of life and death that could not be controlled was even stronger than the fierce beast he had encountered by chance; After all, the last time he faced the beast, he was still able to escape with confidence, but this time he didn't have the slightest certainty, even if he reacted the most correctly in an instant.

As if to prove the skinny mercenary's thoughts, after he once again rolled to dodge the attack that might appear behind him, a black shadow obscured the moonlight that should have appeared in front of him—ordinary, unusually common outdoor equipment in the Sennuma District, with sideburns and a beard obscuring most of his face, and then the angular cheekbones and piercing eyes fell on the thin mercenary's line of sight with great clarity.

"You, hello ......"

Keeping the last moment of the roll—he said with an ugly smile as he half-crouched there.

As a fairly qualified mercenary, this skinny mercenary possesses all the qualities and flaws of a mercenary; For example: greedy for life and afraid of death; You should never want a mercenary to give you a noble professional creed; The secret they keep is just for more Gimpo; Of course, if your knife is sharp enough, then you will get more.

And now this thin mercenary understands very well his situation at this moment; After all, known as the 'coward', 'coward', and 'scavenger' in Sennuma District, what he is best at is the 'most normal' level in life and other discardable selves.

"Whatever you want, as long as it's my own arm: "I'm thin, and I won't do any harm to you!" ”

"So, whatever you think, as long as I know the truth, I will tell you the truth!" Edward Road.

"Aren't all mercenaries using so-called secrecy regulations?" Don't skip words. Ye Qi couldn't help but frown when he looked at the mercenary in front of him, but he didn't plan to waste anything more with the other party here? ”

"My lord, as you can see, I am a mercenary; I'm here for my mission, of course! Edward, who was safe with his own life, did not play any small tricks, and immediately said truthfully; Moreover, he also answered the question that Ye Qi didn't want to know: "The secrecy regulations of mercenaries have not been recognized by any real mercenary since they were established; After all, we just came to the vultures smelling the rotting stench of corpses! ”

"I don't want to discuss with you a code of conduct for mercenaries; I just want to know about your employer, and your mission! ”

"Of course, of course!" Hearing Ye Qi's rhetorical question, the skinny mercenary immediately said that after the wrong deposit, let me come here tonight to find out everything that happened here! ”

As if something, the thin mercenary immediately said again, from the beginning of the commission to the deposit; The people I came into contact with were my acquaintances! ”

"So, could you introduce me to that acquaintance of yours?"

"Of course, my lord!"

The skinny mercenary replied very respectfully.

……

"My lord, you look like a mercenary in such a dress!"

Ye Qi, who had returned to the market, sat in front of a wooden house that was located in the main 'complex' but was still closed, and the thin mercenary beside him said very carefully - the wooden house behind the two of them was not a gathering place for the mercenaries of the Sennuma District, but a 'shop';

"Your acquaintances have a good position here!"

Ye Qi, who had 'shaved off his beard' and tried to make his behavior look rude, looked at the wooden house behind him and said in surprise - although the thin mercenary in front of him had mentioned last night that his acquaintance was a merchant, and he had his own counter with a large number of various goods on it, and the whole person was sitting in the back of the merchant.

The wooden house in front of him was undoubtedly very different from what he imagined - although Ye Qi did not know the difference between the wooden house shop and the stall shop in the market, some of the things in it could be easily deduced; According to the character of Toka, the person in charge of the Chinuma Ward Market, the other party was able to obtain such a 'position', which undoubtedly made a great contribution to the entire Chinuma Ward, otherwise even more Kimpton would not have relieved a person like Toka, who can be called a 'dead brain' in some respects.

According to this speculation, the owner of the shop in front of him obviously has a pretty good reputation in Qiannuma District - as an existence recognized by the people of Qiannuma District, Ye Qi can easily feel the simplicity and loveliness of the people of Qiannuma District after removing the mask of indifference and vigilance; Belong to the kind of people who give them one point and they will repay ten points.

Undoubtedly, the owner of the shop behind him seized such an 'opportunity' - Ye Qi was not sure whether the owner of the shop behind him was the manipulator behind the Holy See; After all, according to the other party's arrangement, controlling the middleman is the best way; And what better person than a businessman who is habitually speculative?

Ruud was an acquaintance who was not his own, and the thin mercenary said with certainty: "After all, just like a broken mercenary like me, he will choose to help!" ”

After a few hours of getting along, and receiving a generation of Kimpton's skinny mercenaries have completely put their minds at ease, and as time passes, when this fear fades, he has understood that the person in front of him will not be a threat to the strength of the other party.

The other party is undoubtedly powerful, but he has a very good temper, even the kind of 'gentleman' who has nothing to do without being touched to the bottom line, and not the kind of 'thug' who is short-tempered, like a powder keg or whose behavior becomes extreme with the change of mind - Edward, who has been a mercenary for several years, still has a very own vision; Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ye Qi showed great skill, but never showed him that contempt as if he could pinch him to death at will; In Edward's eyes, this strong man, who would be very polite even when pressed, was definitely a real strong man.

Rather than those who have the strength and know his reputation with their strength, they all look at him with a 'traditional' eye, and this kind of vision undoubtedly makes Edward feel angry, but under the threat of life, it is the most rational to choose to acquiesce.

In this regard, Edward comforted himself from the bottom of his heart - I made the right choice, otherwise, I would have died at this moment.

Therefore, when Edward, who had always followed tradition, suddenly met an unconventional person, even if he experienced the initial fear, he still felt a little happy - however, Edward obviously didn't want to admit his emotions, even when talking to Ye Qi, he kept saying to himself in his heart.

"I'm because of Kimpton! I'm because of Kimpton! That's right, it's Kimpton! ”

The hint in his heart made the thin mercenary instinctively touch Kimpton in his arms; And as soon as his fingers came into contact with the familiar, hard and intoxicating touch, he shuddered—he suddenly thought of the purpose of their sitting here at this moment; Maybe the big man in front of him has unconventional principles of doing things, and the whole person is also an unusually gentleman, but the most important reason for this is that he is not the enemy of the other party; But what about his acquaintance? What will happen to you?

Although it is clear that his old acquaintance is 'investing' in his favor for the sake of using himself at certain moments, and even the cause of this incident is because of the other party, this does not mean that Edward can choose to forget, and the other party's help to him as a broken mercenary in the most difficult time - hatred, he may selectively forget; But for all the kindness, Edward will definitely remember it clearly.

"Although I know that there are some factors of interest in this, but if you can, please spare his life!"

The thin mercenary, after a pause, raised his head sharply and said to Ye Qi; And Ye Qi, who had been looking at the other party, couldn't help but smile after hearing the other party's words - compared to Edward's observation of him, Ye Qi's observation of the other party was more nuanced; Even, when the other party's emotions were obviously unstable and knew everything, Ye Qi had already felt the other party's old bottom clearly.

Although he has passed his teenage years, he still has the dreams of his youth; Although all dignity and glory have been betrayed for survival; But he retains his bottom line - Ye Qi believes that if he were another mercenary, he would never say such a thing; He will even provide him with as much information as possible in order to get more Kimpton.

Ye Qi is very sure of this; After all, the generation of Kimpton he threw out before him was enough to be a proof or a test - anyone who is greedy will choose their nature, and in the end they will only get that bag of Kimpton, and even lose their lives because of that bag of Kimpton; But the person who has the most embarrassing bottom line, even if he has been despised and even humiliated by others, he still has his own dignity and glory.

At the very least, he will have the right to survive in this world!

Of course, the other party's nostalgia for his former partner is also an important reason why Ye Qi changed his original plan, affirmed his current plan, and returned to the market with the other party; Otherwise, even if the other party behaved as a good person, Ye Qi would never agree to the other party's proposal to lead the way; At most, it is to let the other party say what he knows, and then knock the other person unconscious in a safe place - those who cherish their partners can gain the respect and favor of the demon hunter, it has nothing to do with position and relationship, it is just pure nature.

"My lord, I can do things for you! As long as you can let Ruud go! Seeing that Ye Qi was just smiling but didn't say anything, the thin mercenary said something again and again; As long as it's there, I'll be sure to find it for you! ”

"Don't worry! According to my estimates, this friend of yours is just a middleman at most! Smiling at the skinny mercenary again, Ye Qi said honestly: "Although I look down on him a little, if he wants to become the mastermind behind the scenes, he needs to train for at least another hundred years!" ”

"Your good humor, my lord!"

Ye Qi's words undoubtedly made the thin mercenary let go of his worst worries, and he immediately chuckled - no doubt, Edward thought Ye Qi was joking; After all, in Edward's eyes, his acquaintance was still very capable; Especially that kind of communication skill, which is beyond his reach; And it was able to operate normally in Sennuma District without being 'disturbed', and it also possessed considerable force.

Although you have the care of the locals of the Sennuma area, it is not just the slightest hint of local heat that can make you pass through the Sennuma area unhindered; As a mercenary, Edward knows very well that the mercenaries other than him have themselves, and they are basically outlaws with such thoughts.

Undoubtedly, such outlaws themselves only value money and ignore everything else; In particular, there are also the 'wanted criminals' who are known to ordinary people among the three characteristics of the Sennuma District, which makes the merchants in the Chinuma District face visible or invisible dangers - as far as Edward knows, the merchants in the Chinuma District are more or less paying the so-called 'protection money', and only his acquaintance has not had such a encounter, or rather, it is not that there is none, but he refuses.

He remembered very vividly that one of his acquaintances, drunk, pulled him and shouted, "Although I am a prisoner, I have a strong cage; And under this cage, I am safe! ”

Although he didn't understand what was hidden in such poetic words, Edward was sure of what hole cards allowed him to run amok in the Thousand Swamps - and this kind of unscrupulousness was the root cause of Edward's stubborn belief that his friends were not as unbearable as Ye Qi said.

"My lord! Ruud's coming! ”

The thin mercenary sitting beside Ye Qi said suddenly, and then, jumping straight from the ground, walked towards the figure approaching in the distance—a slightly chubby man, twisting his body, carrying a small suitcase and a slightly stumbling step; And with a few steps, the person will stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead, revealing his somewhat reddened nose; The people around him smiled and greeted the chubby man from time to time, and he returned the salute one by one.
