With the dispute between Momo and Huck finally coming to an end, the deadlock between Reins and Apaya was barely broken.

"'For some reason,' ......," Rhines snorted softly through her nose, "Didn't I tell you how much we hate the family?" ”

Apaya raised a hand to the sky and replied very seriously, "You definitely didn't tell me why you hate the family. I always thought you were acting as mercenaries. ”

Reins seemed stunned, and she looked at Apaya's expression carefully, as if trying to find some loopholes.

"I really didn't say that? I've told you that even the head of the Mercenary Guild must not possess the ability to use magic. She muttered under her breath as she frowned and tried to remember, "I...... Oh well, I probably didn't really say that. ”

Her momentum calmed down again, and Apaya thought for a moment before deciding to continue, breaking their argument once and for all.

"You've been attacked by ice crystals, and it's unpleasant for you to save a member of your family when they've been hurt by your family, doesn't it?" The long confrontation had finally allowed the Engineer to guess more or less about the mercenary's thoughts—he couldn't help but learn to speculate, because he didn't want to be shrouded in the shadow of mischievous death all the time, and he couldn't ask Shao for help every time, "I'm not going to blame you again if I know this...... You're also my friend. ”

The mercenary pursed his lips childishly, and continued as if he was a little unforgiving: "You mean that if there are no such circumstances, I should go and step into a family area?" Do you really remember that I was a mercenary? And I'm still a mercenary leader, and my actions are being watched in mercenary circles, even if I have the means to keep them from noticing my whereabouts. ”

As if he had finally succeeded in putting him in a helpless situation, the mercenary smirked triumphantly. The blonde man looked around the hall, hoping to find a presence that would free him from this impossible conversation—even though his heart had just been filled again with a sense of fullness that he couldn't express, even more than before—but he decided not to think about why.

Shao had long attacked his ability to think about human communication, and warned him not to guess and judge his own mind, which could lead to some kind of unpleasant mistake. Seriously, that was his own idea, how could he guess wrong? But...... Well, everything in the family shows that Shao's decision can't go wrong.

See what he found? Apaya breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally found a reasonable reason to leave. A pharmacist walked into the hall - as for why he knew it was a pharmacist? It was too simple, and the pharmacists took great importance of and proud of their profession, always wearing a robe that was completely inconvenient for movement, and liked to hang various potion bottles around their waists. His colleagues had even speculated if any pharmacist would one day trip over his robe and break the bottle on his body causing some complicated reaction.

He was convinced that the pharmacist was here to deliver the potions. Of course, if you're just here to post a commission, the pharmacist will go straight to the task board or the bar. But now he's just looking around, looking like he's looking for someone. Apaya stood up and decided to go over and guide the apothecary over. After all, the conversation had left him at a loss of how to proceed, and he knew very well that the mercenaries were just trying to show off their victories - God knows how such a guy made these mercenaries so admired?

Looking at the embarrassed blonde man who had left, Reins allowed herself to pick up the hot tea again and took a small sip. The feeling of warmth was especially evident in her physical condition at the moment, and it flowed from her mouth to her stomach, and while there was no way to continue to diffuse, it was enough—look, the rigid, brain-clogging engineer had gone to get her potion.

But, of course. Silver-haired women hide their smiles behind teacups. The Engineer must have realized that there was a deliberate element in what she had said - no, it wasn't entirely fake, and the other party's words really made her feel unpleasant, and although it wasn't that serious, it would still make the Engineer's future fall into a nasty prank.

She'd won this time, and of course she'd have to show her pride in a big way—if the stupid engineer had won, he'd have raised his chin in an unpleasant arc, and she'd have managed to stay away from the guy so she wouldn't be tempted to resort to some kind of violence. She's a mercenary, and the fragile Mr. Engineer can't handle her force.

The mercenary put down the teacup, and the apothecary had been ushered in—though the apothecary's face was suspicious, as if he was worried about the family's conspiracy—and when he saw Reins, he had a look of gratitude and reproach on his face.

"Your Excellency Reins, you really shouldn't be sitting here." He took out a vial of gray-blue potion and handed it to the other party, "No, I'm not accusing you, after all, you helped me so generously, I won't be so ignorant." But you should find a warm environment to rest in a good place, not ...... here."

She smiled, and Jura noticed that the smile finally had a touch of its owner's temperament, just as she and Huck had shown when they faced the members of the family, not to the extent that they were as close as Shao and Gale, not to the point of detachment, but to the tolerant attitude of a lord towards the people of his realm.

"I know, Sanrata." Rhine didn't mind uncorking the potion, tilting her head and drinking it, she seemed to frown in pain, but the effect of the potion was immediate, at least her cheeks and lips began to return to their normal color, "But I always have something to do, and I'm at least sure I can hold out until you make the potion...... Sanlata, didn't I say that the taste of the potion really can't be changed? ”

The apothecary's eyes immediately widened, and Reins couldn't help but think that if he had a beard on his face, he might be blown up by his disgruntled jets.

"Potions shouldn't have been changed!" Sanlata straightened up and raised his head, "It's the original taste that can interpret the essence of the potion!" Through this taste, we can understand its ingredients, its soul! You can also feel the effect of the best potions! If its taste is altered, its soul will also be masked! People can no longer feel the message they want to convey! ”

"Thank you, Sanrata." Reins didn't go on with the question, because it was useless, "Your potions are always the best, and I can even go to another battle right now." ”

The pharmacist smiled proudly, then turned and walked out slowly. Ignoring Apaya's disappendroving glare at the last sentence, she finally took off her cloak. The mercenary's outfit made Yura unable to restrain the change in her face from showing her flush. Fang Cai's cloak completely obscured the mercenary's figure, no, she didn't say that she had guessed that the mercenary's figure was bad, but she hadn't thought it would be like this......

At least in some parts of the world, she couldn't compare at all. Jura thought to herself, a little distressed.

Reins looked at Jura and smiled a little maliciously.

"I think the little lady of the family may not be able to accept our undignified style of dress?" She even approached Yura and leaned down, looking straight at the girl who was only about 16 years old with her red eyes, and the color of the face of the person who was watching made people worry if her blood would burst out suddenly.

Yura's eyes lit up. She was very fond of Reins. No, this is not to say that she has any love for women, after all, she only wants some stubborn retinue to be her partner. But, oh my God, the mercenary in front of him has very beautiful muscles on his arms, which are also very beautiful for women, and a certain part is also the degree of development that she envies, and the waist is also just right, not as slender as the young ladies of the family that seem to break with a force, nor so bloated as those noble ladies who only know the root of their tongues in their parents after giving birth, so - so delicate and powerful.

She really wanted to be such a woman. Jura thought with her face in her hands. Such a woman is so attractive...... Yes, he is very charming, and he attracts people's love and admiration more than his mother. Yes, just that, and not some other bad idea. Her temperament dispelled all filthy thoughts, and perhaps it was her own coercion that made people dare not think about it.

In fact, she was dressed perfectly. Yura is once again obsessed with the mercenary. The other party exposed his entire arm and waist. From the waist up to the neck was covered with a sleeveless bolero, the material she couldn't discern, after all, she was not a professional, but the mercenaries must not wear inferior clothes.

This time, she noticed some kind of scratch on the other man's glove, perhaps the mark left by the destruction of the ice crystal. Oh oh, the half-fingered gloves, such an easy design to move, maybe she could order the family of seamstresses to follow suit, the seamstresses and armorers are too rigid in their thinking, thinking that only completely covering the hands can they play a protective role, but this makes the warriors sometimes lose the sense of touch that their fingers can bring. Even though recent technology has been developed to simulate the sense of touch, there are always errors...... Oh, she couldn't see the mercenary's legs, which were blocked by the table......

Rhines looked at the petite girl who was immersed in her own thoughts with a somewhat complicated expression. Her intention was just to play tricks on the noble family. It is well known that the family always pays attention to various etiquette, and the dress of the mercenary will never be approved by them. But...... No, the young lady's reaction was completely unexpected. She could tell that she was really obsessed with this-

"She adores all kinds of powerful and beautiful women." Apaya sat back beside her and learned to give her a smirk, "Once she begins to indulge, she will be hard to shake. And because of her young age, she doesn't have such a deep-rooted notion that the family and mercenaries should be hostile. ”

Gail had complained countless times about this, and his young lady would always be very obedient to learn about other things, but this was the only thing she had been holding on to. And now, Gale also covered his forehead, refusing to look in the direction of the mercenaries and Apaya.

"So—" Rheins prolonged, looking at Appaya playfully, "are you complimenting me on my strength and beauty?" ”

The Engineer looked at her warily, pondering if there were any catches in the phrase, and then replied slowly.

"I want to ...... This is recognized by many people. He said slowly, "As the head of Fili, there is no doubt about your strength. And about ...... At least you're much better off than the sick ladies who take a few steps to catch their breath. ”

Reins laughed heartily, and even though the Engineer became willing to admit some of his mistakes to ease his own survival, that didn't mean he was clearly aware of what these conversations represented. For example, now she just wants to make a joke, but the other party can't tell if it's a joke or if she wants to dig a hole for him to jump in again. Of course, the engineer's reaction is not bad.

After hearing Reins' laughter, Apaya realized that there was no danger in saying this. And he just sighed helplessly in the end.

"It seems a little too quiet over there." Reins decided to interrupt the confrontation between them for the time being, and looked over the bar, where there were still a large number of mercenaries gathered, and she couldn't see the specific situation, "Your companions shouldn't bully Momo, right?" Well? ”

"Huck shouldn't bully girls......" Jura hesitated, "but...... Oh, I beg your pardon, if it were Shao, he might have been more easily agitated. ”

Reins frowned, she was so immersed in the battle with the Engineer that she should have gone to see Momo. In any case, that little girl trusts herself, and she will not do any harm to Fili, and she will directly help Fili block many troubles. In every way, she is very worthy of protection.

Reins made her way to the bar, and the three of them followed her. Yura finally had a chance to see the outfit on her legs, but now she didn't have the heart to indulge in business. She always prioritizes what matters most – which is why Gail complains every day but ultimately doesn't urge her to change. The mercenaries, seeing the arrival of the silver-haired woman, consciously made a way. And from the faces of the mercenaries, Reins saw a hint of not so rosy - the expressions on their faces were a little sarcastic.

"I said, don't put on such an expression, it makes me feel as if I've really done something wrong." She saw the man with white curly hair squatting on the ground with a sad face, while the little girl next to her sat on the ground with her knees crossed, pursing her lips tightly, "You can make any offer, as long as you are willing to renovate this union." It will still belong to you, I swear by our faith. Please, I don't want my companion to die, I'm not going to dig my own grave in this kind of thing. ”

Huck seemed to be incoherent as well, but Peach still refused to speak. Reins pressed the corner of her forehead with a headache, walked over to Momo, sat down, and took her into her arms.

"So." Leynes sighed, and Huck looked at her with a nervous expression, "I thought you guys would help Momo and not let her be wronged?" ”

The mercenaries shuddered, and the man with the scar on his face spoke again.

"Your Excellency, of course we are looking for Peach." He said hoarsely, and Momo glared at him fiercely, which made him wince again.

"Peach?" Reins looked down at the girl whose tears were already glistening in her eyes, "What do you say?" ”

"They, they don't ...... Not at all towards me! Momo couldn't help but sob, "The bastard of the family won't make me feel bad and uncomfortable!" But they also want me to lose my union! ”

The girl began to cry loudly, unable to say anything more.
