Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 6 Reins' Decision
Momomo's accusation silenced the hall for a moment, and then the mercenaries began to look at each other in uneasy and confused eyes.
"We don't!" The man with the scar retorted to the girl's words, "Momo, how do you think we're towards the damn family instead of you?" ”
"But you agreed to let him move our union!" Momo screamed, her voice even becoming a little hoarse. Roth, the waiter, gave a cup of warm water to the man with the scar, and the man consciously walked up to Momo and squatted down, trying to put the cup into Momo's hand, but Momo tried very hard to push him away, but the little girl's strength was not as strong as that of the battle-hardened mercenary uncle, which made him easily grab the girl's hand.
"Momo, you need to drink water now instead of screaming." The man said bitterly, but the girl still firmly refused, "We just think that since he just wants to renovate the union, and you don't have to pay for it, it will still belong to you, what's wrong with that?" And you see, this is the condition that Your Excellency has given him, so Your Excellency will definitely not let him take this place away. ”
"I suppose I should be held responsible?" Rhines touched Momo's head and said softly, while the girl hugged her tightly and refused to let go, "After all, this condition was prescribed by me, I'm sorry, Momo, I didn't expect this to give you so much pain." ”
"It's not Lady Rhine's fault." Momomo said sullenly, sniffling from time to time, "If it weren't for Lord Rhine, this place would have ceased to be mine a long time ago." So it's impossible for anyone to take this place. Lord Rhine knows and knows the importance of this place to Tao Tao, so he will use this person to embarrass the family, and my lord believes that Tao Tao will not let the family people succeed easily. ”
Rhines showed an expression that was somewhere between helpless and wry, and Momo then glared at the scar-faced man.
"It's all him...... "Momo has already focused on one person," Tucker said to the family...... He's talking to the family! ”
"No, Momo, I don't." Tucker shook his head, forcefully broke Momo's hand open, shoved the glass of water into her hand, and made her squeeze, "I'm just doing it for your good." ”
"For my good—"
"Yes, for your own good." Tucker said firmly, "Momo, we mercenaries are rough men, or seasoned women. ”
Tucker looked apologetically at Reines before continuing, "So, we all have enough ability to protect ourselves. But if this union remains in such a state — shabby, old, and seemingly unsecured — that you can't even defend yourself if it's being targeted when we're not here. At best, Roth can make you escape, but he can't guarantee that you will be safe after you escape. ”
Peach seemed to want to refute his description of the union, but kept her mouth shut about Tucker's last words.
"This is what your father left you, and we all know it, so we're all trying to help you protect it." Tucker continued, "But, Momo, if it was only to protect its original existence, and it didn't protect you, I think your father would rather have it disappear, and it never appeared. It's not the meaning your father left it to you. To your father, the daughter must be far more important than this union. ”
The girl's eyes turned red again, and this sentence seemed to remind her of the time she spent with her father when she was a child. Protected, carefree time.
"Maybe I didn't make it clear just now." Tucker hammered his head, "Momo, you know, my personality is too frizzy, I didn't expect me to let you know my intentions at all - until you say what you think we're helping the family people - oh my God, do you still need to think about the choice between you and the family people?" Peach? ”
The person who was questioned pursed her lips softly, and she was finally willing to hold the glass herself. Tucker grinned.
"If the union looks a little neater, then the person who wants to make the idea of it will first inquire about it, and he will know who is covering the union. Needless to say, Philip's Excellency, even we will not let them succeed. Tucker said lightly, and the mercenaries sensed the alarm was lifted and began to grin over as they approached, "And, seriously, Momo. You're still a little girl. That's right, you haven't even grown yet. For the sake of your growth, you should also make the environment in which you live a little better. ”
Momo's eyes widened, and she only thought for a second before throwing the water glass in her hand at Tucker, including the water that had not yet been touched.
"You talk like that to a lady!" Peach left Rhine's embrace and jumped up with bared teeth, "Tucker, you uneducated fellow! Go get me a new glass of water! It's all cold! ”
Tucker had water dripping from his head, but he didn't look upset, he just shrugged his shoulders to find Roth, and the whole hall erupted in cheerful and hearty laughter. Reins stretched and allowed herself to stand up from the ground. She leaned against the bar, clasped her hands to her chest, and looked at the rejuvenated girl with a smirk.
"So, Taotao, you haven't made a final decision on the other party."
Reins said lightly, while Huck waited for the final result with a worried expression. Appaia looked at Reins and decided not to say any more. It would be a nightmare if he said something wrong and things went bad.
Momo pursed her lips and returned to her bar, then crossed her waist and bared her teeth at Huck.
"For the sake of Lord Rhine and Tucker's face." She glared at Huck and reluctantly said, "I can forgive you for your rudeness, and...... Oh well, go and renovate my union. ”
The girl is young, but she is not a fool. Her Lord Rhine obviously just wanted to embarrass the family members before accepting this commission - otherwise she would not have come to the family today, and she would not have made any conditions to the family.
Huck almost jumped from his spot with excitement as he rushed to Rheins, looking at her expectantly.
"You see, she's already agreed. I can sign this agreement in any way that is acceptable to her, and she can renovate it whatever she wants. Huck said quickly, "Can you come with us now?" I really don't want to waste any more time-"
"No, of course not." Reins said indifferently, and her words were like a basin of cold water that extinguished Huck's excitement, and also made the hearts of the others cold, the man's forehead burst into hideous bruises, and his eyes were bloodshot with anger, as if he was about to roar and tear apart the mercenary's body in the next moment.
Reins made a grasping motion in the air with her hand, and then a bottle appeared in her hand, which contained a bright red rose, and she threw the bottle to the man who was about to explode, and the other party subconsciously reached out to take it before she continued: "Take it back, whatever you want, let your companions eat the petals." At least let her live until tomorrow when I stand in front of her. ”
Huck was still glaring at her, his chest heaving and heaving, as if he wanted to get angry but was interrupted by the bottle he suddenly threw at him, he looked like a balloon that could explode with a prick of a needle, or deflect gas. But he still held the bottle carefully. The mercenary didn't care about his mood at all, went back to the table and picked up her cloak, and then walked straight to the door. It was already completely dark outside, and she stood in the doorway and thought for a moment, then looked back at the people of the family.
"If you want me to come over tomorrow, any of the four of you will show up here at 10 a.m. tomorrow." She yawned, "I hope that before then, I can hear the good news that you and Momo have signed everything." ”
With that, Reins turned to leave. And Yura, who was relieved because of the fact that there was finally a result of the matter, continued to look obsessively at the mercenary's legs. Beneath the shorts are slender and powerful legs, and those black high-heeled boots also make those legs look so elegant.
Huck's disgruntled squirting beside her didn't distract her. Come on, Miss Mercenary didn't promise to go to the base as soon as she persuaded Tao Tao, but Huck himself was too excited to forget to confirm this matter, which can't be blamed on Miss Mercenary, she even gave an exact way to prolong Shao's life.
Gail looked at Huck, who was still angry, Yura, who was addicted, and Apaya, who had returned to silence, and covered his head again.
Leaving the chaotic families in the mercenary guild, Reins walked leisurely down the path. Of course she couldn't walk back to Fili's station on her own feet, but she didn't want to use teleportation magic to go back in plain sight - it would be very easy to follow, just throw something at her at that moment. The principle of teleportation is only to teleport back the entire small space around herself, and it cannot be as detailed as just teleporting herself...... Perhaps it would be possible to add great mental strength, yes, to have only her own existence in her mind, down to every edge of her clothes, and every hair of herself, it would be too much effort for anyone to want to do such a thing. And if it is really in a moment of crisis, it is impossible to mobilize such mental power.
She turned into a dark corner, detected and eliminated the surrounding interference, and unfolded a small silver-gray magic circle on the soles of her feet, returning herself to Fili's station.
"Rhine!" As soon as she appeared in the room, a woman with revealing red hair approached her and looked at her with worried eyes of the same color as her hair, "You have met with the family until now?" They didn't do anything to you, did they? ”
"Ella, you should trust my abilities." Reins hung the cloak on the hanger and replied with a little helplessness, "And it's in the mercenary union, how dare they do something?" ”
"I'm just a little worried, after all you insist that one of them is your friend." The mature and feminine woman said worriedly, "The family can use this to design you." ”
Ella is very worried, and this is the consensus in the Fili mercenary group. Fortunately, she didn't go on and on, and after confirming their safety, she wouldn't continue to talk about it.
"It's a pity that today they are asking me." Reinth yawned again, everything today was too draining on her energy, "I'll be going to the base of the Morfi Alliance tomorrow, Ella." ”
She saw the woman in front of her eyes widen in shock, as if she had made some ridiculous decision. Actually, it's ridiculous enough.
"I can't believe you're agreeing to such a request." Ella pressed her chest, her face looked like she couldn't breathe, "Oh my God, they can set up so many traps in the base for you to pass, no matter how you do it alone, you can't face the attack of the entire family, especially a family alliance!" That Molfi is a fusion of five large families with a long history......"
"So I told you about it." Reins smiled and decided to go back to her bed to rest when she was done, "I'll go over tomorrow, and I'll let you come over if necessary." ”
"Oh...... At this time, why did they all go out to commission? Ella groaned in pain, "If the others are here, at least ...... together"
"That could well turn out to be a real war, Ella." Reins waved her hand and turned around and walked towards the second floor, "A whole Filip mercenary group going to the base of the Morfi Alliance?" Even I think it's going to be a big deal. Not to mention those who have been eyeing the war between the mercenaries and the clan once and for all. ”
The conflict between the mercenary and the family began hundreds of years ago, no one knows which side of the initial disagreement arose, according to rumors thousands of years ago, the two parties were still friendly and cooperative, the mercenary's magic and the family's technology are combined with each other, basically there is no crisis that cannot be solved.
But then there seems to have been events that led to the separation of the two ways, and there were some minor wars over the centuries, but for the sake of the stability of the continent, the two sides reluctantly sat down for peace talks under the auspices of a neutral and authoritative church. This did not solve any fundamental problems, and it has now developed into the current rigid situation.
The Fili had some special ways of trying to get some of the things that had happened before, but they didn't want to do that - that could cause them to have memories and even mental confusion.
“…… Can they really be trusted? ”
The moment she stepped onto the floor of the second floor, Ella muttered under her breath, and Rhines stared at the window for a moment, before finally sharing her thoughts with the anxious woman.
"They can't be trusted easily, but I trust him." She breathed a sigh of relief, "If he was a mercenary, or a fighter who has specialized in mental training, I wouldn't be so relieved. But he's a mechanical nerd, so he can't detect anomalies, so as long as I haven't hurt anything important to him, he'll follow his soul and won't hurt me - he'll just think it's his own true thoughts, though in a sense, it is. ”
Yes, that's what she's always trusted engineers. And its influence is mutual, it makes Apaya have an extraordinary tendency to tolerate and protect her, and at the same time, it also makes her extremely tolerant of Apaya. Although she was aware of the situation and identified the root causes, after careful consideration, she finally decided to indulge in the effects for the time being, and even to some extent in the long run.
And today's events have also confirmed one thing for her. That is, the mutual trust that this influence can bring is limited when neither party actively wants to deepen it. If the woman named "Shao" is involved, Apaya's tolerance for her will be greatly reduced - it's like if the topic involves her Fili, her tolerance for engineers will be infinitely close to zero.
Whether this influence needs to be strengthened by her leadership is yet to be determined. Reins finally pushed open the door and decided to run into her warm and soft bed. But...... In any case, let's think about it the next day.
