When Rhines and Appaya caught up with Morfi, they saw the scenes of various families and mercenaries fighting separately, although they did not achieve unity, but at least they did not fight each other.

Back on the ground, Apaya, despite Rhine's objections, handed over the machine to another of Morfi's combatants, and followed Rhines back to the leader's and Phili's lineup.

"You're back."

Hua Shao greeted them with a smile, and the church staff standing not far from her also smiled brightly and waved their hands.

"Hello, I greeted you through the water mirror just now, and now I would like to formally introduce myself again, my name is Pat, this time the representative sent by the church to assist, although I am only one person, but my combat ability is more outstanding, right? If I can't figure it out, I won't hesitate to ask the church for help, don't worry! ”

Reins didn't know what kind of expression she should make, although it was a very good habit not to die in the face of danger, but the fact that the other party was so open and honest also made her feel a little delicate.

"Reins Fili, as you know, the head of the Fili mercenary group." Rhines stretched out her hand and shook the other's hand, "I heard Hemiria talk about you, the leader of the 'Divine Messenger', the first person in the Church of Iop after the priest in terms of combat effectiveness. ”

Pat laughed heartily.

"Ahahahaha, huh? Is that what Smofa says about me? That's a delightful compliment. I've heard him mention you, huh? Being able to make him suffer so much and still be ridiculed by Xiao Ciruo with no sympathy at all, you are really amazing, I have admired you for a long time. ”

The corners of Rheinth's mouth twitched uncontrollably, even his own leader didn't want to see him so much, how did Smofa usually behave?

Apaya coughed softly beside her, took Rheins by the waist and took her a few steps aside, she turned her head to look at Apaya in confusion, but only saw the side of his face looking to the other side.

"Ahh Pat smiled and waved his hand, "I don't mean anything else, it's just that when I see someone who can teach Smokea good lesson, I can't help but be close to it—sometimes I really want to beat him, but I don't think it's good to hurt my colleagues." ”

"Ahem." Hua Shao coughed heavily twice at this time, and decided to bring this matter over, "According to Mr. Crado, we are still some way from the research factory, let's continue on our way, shall we?" ”

Everyone present agreed, and Reins looked ahead, and Epivos Clado was at the front, being guarded and leading the way. After making sure that the others had moved on and could not hear them, Reins turned around and reached out and poked Appaya's face.

"What's wrong? It can't be jealousy, right? ”

Reins originally asked jokingly, but when she saw that Apaya still turned her head and refused to look at her, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Is it true?"

Perhaps her tone was too obvious, and Appaya glared back at her fiercely.

"So what?" He whispered, "Just shake your hand, why hold it?" ”

Rhines blinked, and Apaya's somewhat awkward jealousy at the moment actually made her feel a little cute.

"We've only met for the first time, Apaya."

"I know."

Apaya grunted in her throat, but she still looked a little reluctant. Rhines stood on tiptoe to his face and looked at his expression carefully, which made Apaya look away even more uncomfortably.

"Do you mind anything?"

Apaya coughed again, and with a slight effort to get Rhines to her feet, she pulled her to follow the crowd in front of her.

"Apaya......?"

The other party's performance made her feel even more strange, if he was just jealous, he wouldn't be so awkward.

"I'll listen, mercenary." Apaya pursed her lips, "Don't make fun of me first...... Did you hear me clearly this time?

Looking at the light brown eyes with a subtle sense of chagrin, Rhines nodded obediently.

“…… At this time, it is the most obedient. ”

Apaya sighed and rubbed Rheinse's hair hard.

"Actually, it's nothing...... Okay, I'm not going to be so perfunctory, don't look at me like that...... I was just thinking if I could be more useful. ”

His words surprised Reins even more.

"If you're useless, who else can claim to be useful?"

"Should I thank you for maintaining me? Even if I'm accomplished in engineering...... But when you're fighting or frustrating, it still doesn't seem like there's anything to actually help you, so you can only watch from the sidelines. ”

Reins stared at him with round eyes, and after making sure he was serious about it, she couldn't help but pinch the back of his hand—everything else was covered by clothing, and it was too much to cause real pain.

"Are you serious? Are you serious about saying that? ”

Apaya's face distorted for a moment, as the mercenary had used ruthlessness this time.

"I know it's a baffling thought, I've only thought about it for a moment - so can I let go?"

Reins rolled her eyes widely, and then let go of her fingers.

"Are you stupid? Oh yes, you're a stubborn engineer with a rigid brain that makes people angry. She shook her hand, she wasn't used to pinching people with such small movements, "Let me think about it, it's because you didn't talk much when I visited the mercenary union?" Were you in the hood while fighting Number 2? On the way here, you couldn't come up with a solution to the conflict between the family and the mercenaries? ”

Apaya pursed her lips, her expression rather depressed.

"I just thought about it occasionally—"

"Who taught me that confidence before?" Reins glanced at him, but he still couldn't help but reach out and flick Apaya's forehead, "You think the mercenaries can't see that you're from the family?" Experienced old mercenaries have dog-like noses, and they can smell the family smell when they smell them, and if they are hostile to you, whatever you say will only be more hostile, and it is only right not to speak. ”

Reins thought for a moment and added, "I'm not polite to speak in front of Prosoya, because I know you're on my side, and he's only one person, and he can't do anything at all." ”

Appaya touched his nose, and although he didn't really have these thoughts seriously, he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what Reins had to say.

"That No. 2...... Even if you were sitting in the machine, I wouldn't have let you fight. Reinse's expression became serious, "His ability is not something that can be prevented by a mask or anything, disease and toxin are two concepts, if you are infected with a disease, even the priest cannot guarantee that you will be able to recover without leaving any sequelae." ”

In the preference of Number 2, all of his men will give priority to the weapons they are good at, rather than abilities. The shield was only used to distract them, luring them to attack without using their abilities, and by the time they woke up, the nerve-paralyzing toxins had made it impossible for them to use their abilities.

"You have to remember for me, Apaya, the number 2 'Crow Regiment' is very large, although each person can use it to a different degree, but they can transmit diseases to others, even if I myself am not properly protected, I can't fight him casually!"

Reins' fingers were even on Apaya's nose, and Apaya nodded submissively, then gently moved her hand a little farther away.

"As for the conflict between the family and the mercenaries, that kind of thing has existed for thousands of years, and if you can think of a countermeasure in just a few minutes, you can be worshiped as a god, right?" Reins pouted, "I can do whatever I am good at, and the people in the church can take care of this, but he can't make me learn to protect myself." ”

Apaya's eyes widened slightly, staring straight at Reins' face, which made Reinss feel uncomfortable.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, I'm just thinking about what you said at the end." Appaya tilted her head, looked at Reins' gradually reddening face, and smiled unconsciously, "Is this your confession to me?" ”

"It's not! You self-styled engineer! ”

Rhineth shook off Apaya in shame, and hurried a few steps to catch up with the large army in front, and Ella, who was discussing something with Hua Shao at the end of the line, turned around and winked at Rhines narrowly.

"Another affectionate bickering?"

Reines glared at her fiercely and fired back without hesitation.

"Iori isn't here, do you feel lonely? Do you want me to contact Rossiel and ask her to release Iori back? ”

Ella pursed her lips and turned her head to complain to Hua Shao.

"You see, such a big temper, you can't say it at all, it wasn't like this when I first came out of Roseos, and Rhine didn't like to talk most of the time at that time."

"Really?"

Apaya came up at some point, leaning over curiously and asking, and seeing someone pick up her words, Ella became even more excited, and she didn't care about Rheins's protest at all, and continued with great interest.

"Yes, at that time, Rhine didn't know a lot about the outside world, so he listened to us quietly, but then Leanne was so easy to do something stupid that Rhine couldn't even help but scold her."

"Wait, did I hear someone say bad things about me?" Lillian squeezed out from behind Ella, "I'm just not here for a while, am I?!" ”

"What stupid are you talking about, Leanne?" Ella said lovingly, "You've been with Iroh since you set out, and you didn't come to stay with us at all." ”

Lillian choked for a moment, and Reinth's smiling expression seemed to add fuel to the fire to ignite her temper, causing her to blow her beard and stare in anger.

"Alright, girls, now is not the time for infighting." Ella grabbed Lillian by the neck, "This is our destination ahead, we need to be prepared." ”

"Oh-"

Lillian replied with a long voice, and sprang into the crowd in three or two clicks. Reins sneered, and unceremoniously asked Apaya to turn around, rummaging through Apaya's package for props.

It wasn't long before Lillian dragged Epivos Crado, who was followed by an Ilo, back among them. Reins glanced at Epivos, who was being dragged to the ground, with disgust, and looked at Lillian suspiciously.

"What's that? You really didn't kill him, did you? ”

"Of course not!" Lillian yelled dissatisfied, "Am I that careless? ”

Of course you are.

Everyone present said silently in their hearts.
