Listening to the relays of the thin mercenary in front of him, a smile reappeared on the face of the long-awaited young man of the Holy See—by this time, he could finally be sure of the correctness of his message; Although there was already a certainty of seven or eight points before, compared with the current ten percent, it is undoubtedly the latter that is more secure; After all, it's about his future.

"Rude, take this friend of yours to the cave to rest first, there are two more adults coming in a while!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

The young man of the Holy See, who had already obtained what he wanted, naturally did not need to keep the two 'witnesses' by his side, and waved his hand immediately, and the grocer immediately nodded, and led his friend towards the cave behind him—compared to his friend who was still confused about everything, this dark son who had been in the Thousand Pond District for an unknown number of years, felt that something was wrong; At the beginning, when the Holy See still had a considerable advantage in this land, he had already accepted the task of lurking because of his 'mistake'.

Ruud has no complaints about this; After all, when you can die, there is suddenly an extra way to live, and it is a great joy for any person; Even if it would make him lose his former dignity and glory, it was worth it compared to surviving - so he abandoned his original surname and became the current Ruud, from a respected priest to the current grocer.

Originally, Ruud thought that he would continue to be in his post for the rest of his life; After all, he didn't think there would be any surprises with the huge power behind him; Not to mention, even if it appeared. Someone will take care of it – Ruud has always thought so. And it is precisely with this opinion. Ruud silently abides by his duty to complete his task; After experiencing the initial discomfort, Ruud suddenly found that this kind of work was, in a sense, more suitable for him.

A sense of uninhibited made Ruud take his current life seriously - although he was no longer respected, he was still loved. And this kind of affection is more comfortable for him than the respect he used to have; In addition to the weekly report, which made him face the 'colleagues' he was accustomed to in the past, but were extremely awkward at the moment, Ruud gradually began to be satisfied with his current life.

Bargain like a merchant, drink and bet with people in bars, sing and dance loudly at parties, and then go to please the girl you like......

Such a life seemed sinful to Ruud in the past, but now Ruud sneered at the 'simplicity' of his past - if 'sin' makes people closer and happier. But the 'sacred' makes people alienated and indifferent, so I would rather fall into the abyss!

Ruud was exiled for 'offending' someone. It was very easy to accept this view, and it was undoubtedly stronger than the previous beliefs - the 'simple' he saw behind the 'sacred', under the impact of ugliness and darkness, he understood what he really wanted or what he wanted.

God may be right, but that doesn't mean that those who serve God are right!

After such a view reappeared in Rude's heart, Ruud completely bid farewell to the past and became the current grocer; And he has all the friends that a grocer can have—a mercenary, a lady in a special profession, a hunter among the locals, a guide......

This group of people who used to be sinners in Ruud's eyes have become his friends now, and Ruud let out bursts of laughter that he had never felt before—living my life like this is God's compensation for me!

Bidding farewell to the depression and indignation at the beginning, except for the report, which would make Rude feel unnatural, the rest of the time, Rude was smiling, like a real businessman - with not too much and not too little money allocated by the upper echelons, coupled with his business, Rude gradually realized the joy of being a businessman; Especially when the money flowed out of his hands to the people who needed these Kimptons more, Ruud felt more and more that this was the life he wanted.

When helping people, it is not just words and manipulation, but hands-on.

Ruud had thought that such a day would stay with him for the rest of his life until the day he was old—but suddenly one day the huge existence he thought was behind him was all evacuated from the Thousand Swamp District; Ruud panicked about this; He feared that he would retreat like the others; If it had been a few years ago, of course he would have been happy to do it, but now?

However, in the days that followed, Ruud did not receive the corresponding orders, but the funds allocated from the upper echelons went up a new level, and it was clear that those behind him were ready to run him as a 'focus' - and Ruud was very happy about this; Of course, his happiness is not because of the attention of the top, but because the more money he has, the more he can help others in need; And the original weekly report has become a monthly report, which is as comfortable for him as drinking mead with his friends.

If, if you can, don't all come back!

Such thoughts inevitably appeared in Ruud's heart; However, he also knew that this was impossible - since he came into contact with the 'sacred', he had a more intuitive understanding of where he used to be, they believed in God, served God, acted in God's name and had power in their hands, but they never really relied on God as their own, and they preferred to believe in those who claimed to be 'closest to God' than they called God.

Because those people have shown strength comparable to that of 'gods'!

Measuring everything by the amount of strength seemed so sad to Ruud; Because, those high-ranking beings will never understand what friendship, family affection, and love are, everything is so false and disgusting; But, even more tragically, he had to conform to such a man, because he did not want to die silently; After feeling all that a normal person should have, for the kingdom of God after death. He doesn't yearn for it; Although he is still willing to help others with God's mercy. But he also liked everything he could have now: a happy big smile. Crying of sorrow, care from friends, greetings from neighbors......

Therefore, when he received this task at this moment, Ruud was like a mourner—he knew very well that the life he longed for would once again be far away from him; There was nothing he could do about it; Even, I don't dare to talk to my friends; Because. He knew very well what such an outpouring would bring to his friends.

Death is a common means used by those people!

It may be brutal, but it is extremely effective!

And he didn't want his friends to fall victim to such tactics; Especially after watching the indifferent black-clothed deacons appear one by one in the past, and even the appearance of higher-level existences, Rude pressed the words in his heart to the bottom of his heart - as a shadow, there are not many high-level people he can contact; In fact, he had never seen a higher-level being except for another black-clad deacon with whom he came into contact with a purchaser; And when he was a priest, he had seen with his own eyes that the highest level of authority was only a priest in a town.

As for the priest of a parish?

If it's about seventy or eighty yards apart. I glanced at it from a distance, and I could see it clearly without removing my clothes. The face is not visible at all, and if it is considered to have seen it, then this grade can indeed be raised by one level for Rude - and now, the superiors who were originally out of his reach have appeared one after another in the Thousand Swamp District, and Rude, who is not stupid, just guessed a little, and he was also shocked.

There's definitely something big going on!

With this realization, Ruud became more and more cautious and cautious; However, he still didn't dodge - looking at his friend who was covered in mud, he couldn't help but feel the trick of fate.

"Don't worry! As long as we do what they ask, we'll be fine! ”

Faced with his friend's doubts, Rude could only comfort the other party with such pale and weak words.

"What if you can't do it?"

The skinny mercenary involuntarily asked rhetorically - everything had made the skinny mercenary feel as if he had fallen into a huge boundless spider web since last night, and the more he struggled, the tighter he struggled, and no matter how much he thought, he had no clue at all; And this feeling, for this skinny mercenary, is really terrible; Coupled with the fact that my friend is still secretive until now, this terrible feeling has become terrible; If he had a gun in his hand, he would have sieveed all the people who had asked him questions and 'invited' him before.

Of course, the skinny mercenary who had seen the other party's skills knew very well that this was nothing more than an illusion; The guy who had 'invited' him here was no less than the outstretched beings he had ever seen, except, of course, the one who had crossed his way last night.

The thin mercenary who came back to his senses, looking at his friend who was asked by himself and didn't know how to answer, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "When I became a mercenary, I was already mentally prepared; So, there is no need to apologize; It's just a little unwilling! It would end here! ”

"It's not going to end! It's not going to end! The grocer looked at his friend's gloomy appearance, his fists clenched in front of him, and he lowered his voice: "I promise with my life that they won't hurt you!" ”

"You ......"

"I had long expected this day, so, I made some preparations!"

The grocer did not say this, but gestured to his friend - any oppression will face resistance, and rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry, let alone humans themselves; Since receiving those news, Ruud, who has already planned for the worst, has left a way back for his friends.

As for himself?

He who has done such a thing is absolutely not allowed to survive in this world; If he goes with his friends, he will only face endless pursuits; This is not in line with his original idea; Therefore, it is better to use the back hand he prepared and himself as a bargaining chip in exchange for a way out for his friend.

The taste of mead is probably not tasted.

Shaking his head with emotion, the grocer smiled at his friend and pulled his friend towards the inner hole; The skinny mercenary was stunned when he saw the grocer's smile—a smile that was all too familiar; Those of his teammates had such a smile and told him to withdraw first.

'We'll catch up with you if we stop that guy a little!' ’

That's it. We are well armed. If you don't fight and withdraw. How can you be worthy of these newly arrived equipment? ’

'Edward, run back first; Find a safe place and have food ready for us! ’

'Let's go, how can a guy with poor marksmanship and rookie skills organize a firepower network with us?' ’

……

'I promise with my life that they will not hurt you!' ’

These words, which he had buried in the bottom of his heart and thought he had forgotten, all came to his heart; Then, intertwined with this phrase from the grocer.

My lord. Where are you?

Edward needs your help!

The thin mercenary who shouted in his heart was dragged into the inner cave by the grocer, and in a trance he saw a familiar figure.

"Big ...... Fin, Finger, even you ......"

When he came back to his senses and saw the person in front of him clearly, the thin mercenary immediately fell to the bottom of his heart; The whole person seemed to have been sucked off his backbone, and he stood there loosely, as if he had lost his soul.

"Finger, you're fine, are you?"

Looking at the mercenary in front of him, his face was swollen, and half of it was bloody; The grocer immediately took the backpack behind him and pulled out the medicine and gauze from it—the grocer had been prepared for a long time, as he left his residence. I have already packed all the medicines and food into the backpack; He didn't know what the development of Lu Dao would be like after the most difficult period, but he had a certain amount of preparation. But you can't go wrong!

……

Ye Qi, who was still blessed with advanced stealth techniques in the inner cave, looked at the different expressions of the three of them, and finally did not choose to 'contact' the skinny mercenary - he saw the hesitation of the other party at the entrance of the cave very clearly; Although the other party still chose to cooperate with him, and Ye Qi also knew the other party's distress, this did not mean that Ye Qi could still 'tell each other frankly' at this time, after all, two fluctuations that became clearer and clearer in the distance had already appeared, and one of the familiar fluctuations made him squint his eyes.

Cardinal: Terry!

Ye Qi still remembers this cardinal archbishop vividly - in addition to the identity of the other party that makes him unable to kill the other party directly, more importantly, after the incident in the Northside family manor, the father of his disciple once had a detailed conversation with him; Aside from some personal matters, half of the rest was about the cardinal named Terry.

Although the other party has the strength of the solar level, and is also famous in the solar level, the other party prefers to complete what they do with layout and planning; Even if it is necessary to use force, it is the most critical moment, which plays a decisive role - Ye Qi clearly remembers the helplessness and pain of the former head of the Norsd family when he said this again; After all, as an opportunity to work hard for his family for decades, but also to give up traditions, improve his own strength, etc., but was broken by the other party at will, if it was Ye Qi, Ye Qi would also have such helplessness and pain.

Of course, if it was Ye Qi, he would not accept the other party's conditions at all - although the result was very tempting, there was no so-called family drag, and it was the best choice to look at it purely from the perspective of a demon hunter, and it was the best choice to fight with the other party; After all, it's not necessarily you who retreats first.

Despite this thought, Ye Qi chose to be a qualified listener in the face of the former head of the Nosd family—something had happened, and it could not be changed; Let's face it, it's also a good tradition for witchers.

And as a result of this conversation, the cardinal archbishop was on Ye Qi's blacklist; Not because of the strength of the other party, but because of the way the other party behaves - a complete utilitarian, as long as the goal in his heart is achieved, then any despicable and shameless means, in the eyes of the other party, can be used; The best example of this is that of those who had left the Northsteads, who had been attacked the day before the attack on the Northstead estate; Assassination, poisoning, and all sorts of means are enough to make up a perfect assassin's teaching; Ye Qi believed that if it weren't for the old man from the Norsd family, the Norsd family would not have waited for the so-called reinforcements at all.

And Ye Qi also believes that without his accidental intervention, even the Nosd family who are waiting for reinforcements will not be able to escape the end of destruction!

Since you have touched it, then ......

Ye Qi, who was flickering with murder in his heart, couldn't help but squint his eyes - the relationship between different camps, mortal enemies, especially the other party's unscrupulous style; The death of the other party is simply beneficial and harmless to him; However, for the same reason, the identity of the other party's cardinal archbishop had to make him feel troublesome.

However, Ye Qi, who immediately had a flash of inspiration in his mind, immediately smiled easily.
