Three days passed quickly, and on the second day, Filly received a special invitation from the Mercenary Guild - from the Morfi family.

Naturally, the invitation was opened by Reins, and after noticing the subtle expression on her face, the Fillies looked at her curiously, and with her permission, Lillian also took the invitation and read it, and all Filly's expressions became angry.

They looked at Reins, and Reins, with an inscrutable expression, put the invitation away and did not mention it again. They could only look at each other, deciding that this had never happened.

Day 3.

"Rhine, I received a contact from Momo, and the people of Morfi want to talk to you first, and then go to their base together." Ella's expression was a little strange, "There were only two people here in Murphy, one was a woman with short black hair, and the other was a man with blond hair, and Momo said that the man had been there before. ”

Reins was silent for a moment, and changed her original lying on the couch to a sitting position.

"It should be Hua Shao and their engineers." Reins avoided the latter's name, which made Ella wink, "It should be about that invitation from yesterday...... Let them come to the station. ”

Ella's eyes widened as she looked at her, and she looked at Ella.

"Go ahead, Ella." She smiled innocently, "Teleport them with you." You don't want me to go like this, do you? ”

Ella grinded her teeth, picked up her cigarette stick, and walked out. The others were still looking at Reins.

"What do you see me doing?" She lazily tucked herself back into the couch, "Do whatever you have to do, and the idle can pack up and get ready to welcome our guests." ”

Fili didn't understand why Rhines had made such a decision, but they got up and went about their jobs. When Eliam tries to stop the twins from holding up a large vase, Ella returns with the family.

"Sister Ella, you're back." Elianne said hello obediently, but in that moment, the twins finally got their way.

"Got it——!"

The twins ran happily with the vase, and Elianne exclaimed, trying to catch up and stop them, but she couldn't. The twins smirked, but in the next second, they were floating in the air with the vase.

"I don't mind if you're a little lively, but now that our guests have arrived, you should show your courtesy." Reins threw a pebble up and down in the palm of her hand, and said with a smirk, "Don't think that I can't do anything to you if I can't use magic for the time being, I still have a lot of props in reserve." You may not be able to do a delicate operation, but it is more than enough to deal with you. ”

With that, Reins ignored the twins, and she got up from the couch and walked towards Ella.

"Good work, Ella." Rhines patted Ella on the shoulder, then faced Hua Shao, "Welcome—I want to say that, but I don't think we should lose any more time. I hear you want to talk to me, so get down to business. ”

Hua Shao nodded, and then asked, "Is there a separate room?" ”

Reins raised an eyebrow. Behind her, the twins have been freed by Ella, and the vase has been carefully put back in place.

"Of course, we can come to my room. But it's just you, no problem, right? ”

Hua Shao agreed, she let Apaya stay in the living room, and followed Rhines to the second floor. Rhines nodded at Illion—none of the rest of the people, except for Ella and Eliam, were able to entertain the guests properly.

"Sir, please come and sit down here, and I'll prepare drinks and snacks for you."

Appaia withdrew her gaze that had been ignored at Rhine, looked at the girl in front of her, who was smiling in a friendly manner, and followed her to where she was supposed to be.

"Please come in."

Reins walked into her room and sat down on the edge of the bed, and motioned for Hua Shao to come in and find a place to sit down. The other chose the only chair next to the bedside table - she wasn't supposed to sit on the bed, was she?

"Maybe you're feeling a little hot?" Reins saw that Hua Shao was a little unaccustomed, "I'm sorry, I've not been in particularly good physical condition for the past two days, if you feel too hot, I'll go and change the temperature lower." ”

"No, I'm just not used to it for a while." Hua Shao shook his head, and then carefully observed what Reins was wearing, the mercenary was different from the battle-ready outfit when they met three days ago, now she was wearing a loose-fitting, long-sleeved, wide-necked white sweater, and a pair of dark blue denim trousers, while she wore a beige gauze around her neck.

It seems that the accident three days ago still seriously affected Reines's physical condition - according to the information she has made up for the past few days, people who are good at magic can build an invisible barrier around them, so that they can always be in a suitable environment. According to the information provided by the Alliance's family and Apaya, Reins is undoubtedly the most proficient in magic.

"So, what do you want to say this time? I guess...... Was it the invitation you handed me yesterday? ”

Hua Shao came back to her senses, and she nodded at Rheins.

"Yes, that's one of the purposes of my conversation with you this time, and it's the only thing I want to do." She smiled, "I think there's a very high need for the clan and the mercenaries to join forces as it stands—given that there are malicious third parties outside of the church. ”

Reins looked at her expression carefully and asked.

"Why can you be sure that there is a malicious third party?"

"Because of the Soul Wounding Beast. I've checked the relevant records in the past few days, and there were indeed such creatures a hundred years ago, but they were extinct in an accident a hundred years ago. And the original Soul Wound Beast didn't have other branches or mutations, which led me to two hypotheses. One is that the Soul Wound Beast is actually retained as a small part of the group, which has mutated due to the environment. The other is that someone tried to reproduce the Soul Wound Beast, and as a result, a variant was experimented. ”

Hua Shao paused, she looked at the mercenary opposite, and the mercenary asked her to continue.

"I've vaguely learned that many important members of the family have been attacked when they go out, and either they are species they have never seen before, or they are similar to the species they know but have caused unexpected damage. We thought it was the mercenaries who did something. She smiled apologetically but not guiltily, "But then I also investigated, and the mercenaries have been in a similar situation, so I think there is a third party." And this incident convinced me of that. ”

Reins took out two cups from her storage cabinet, took a glass of water and handed it to Hua Shao.

"Oh, thank you very much......" Hua Shao took the water, took a sip and put the cup on the table, "I also asked our companions to gather some information about the movements of the Fili mercenary group in the last two years, one or two of you usually go to the scene within a short time after the attack, and even if anyone passes by after that, there has been no attack." I might have suspected that you might have been behind this, but I am the one who knows about these things, so I think you are also aware of the existence of this third party, and are very familiar with it. ”

Reins supported her face with one hand and tilted her head to look at Hua Shao.

"I can't help but sigh again, worthy of Molfi's brain. Your guess is basically correct, and we do know about this third party. They didn't make a mistake trying to recreate some extinct magical beasts, they deliberately made some deteriorating modifications. And I don't mind letting you know that the Fili Mercenaries are in a desperate situation with that third party. ”

Reines' last accentuated tone gave Hua Shao an idea of how serious she was.

"My guess is that this third party will have a very bad impact, and if left unchecked, it will lead to an even greater tragedy. Therefore, I think that the family and the mercenaries should unite to eradicate this third party. ”

"So," Reins looked Hua Shao in the eye, "why do you think we're going to join forces with you?" ”

Hua Shao also looked her straight into the eyes.

"We can provide a much larger and more detailed network of information, and we can provide more human, material and financial resources, and do everything we can to meet your needs, as long as it facilitates your actions." Hua Shao took another sip of water and continued, "And your combat power and understanding of the third party can also facilitate our side to act. I think an alliance between the two of us can do more than double the effect. ”

Reins leaned her arms onto the table, bringing their faces closer, and then folded her hands together to support her chin.

"How do you make sure you don't kill each other?"

"Morfi has always instilled in her members the idea of peaceful coexistence with mercenaries, and this time I have arranged for a third party to be attacked. Now Molfi has given the order to deal with third parties first. As for the mercenaries," Hua Shao smiled, "I have contacted the church, and after you agree to form an alliance with us, the church will send someone over to witness the covenant between the two sides." ”

"So you've already arranged everything, just nod my head?" Reins propped herself up from the table and sat herself back on the bed, "If you want me to say, I'm not against forming an alliance, but whether you can get this far in the end depends on the explanation you give to Leanne today." As long as your performance today satisfies us, then I can consider forming an alliance. ”

Hua Shao nodded.

"That's a reasonable request, of course." Hua Shao quickly ended the topic, "Then that's the end of business, and the next thing is that I personally want to talk to you about private matters." ”

Instead of answering her, Reins plunged headlong into the pillow and sunk herself into the pile of plush.
