Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 17 Lillian
Huck twitched the corners of his mouth, barely allowing himself to touch the other's hand, and immediately retracted. Hua Shao couldn't help but smile and walked back to him, which made him unable to vent his breath.
"The Fili mercenary group also surprised us." He gritted his teeth faintly and said, "The Fili mercenary group that is famous on this continent - more than half of them are women, not to mention, they actually have children. ”
"Don't underestimate these kids, they can make you regret being in front of their eyes." Reins waved her hand, "Anyway, that's not the point, any one of them you can bring out can cause serious damage to your base - except for our lovely healer, thank you, don't count her in." ”
The expressions of the leaders became very subtle, and from the beginning of the meeting, they skipped the greeting part and went directly to each other's attacks, so could they really form an alliance smoothly?
Iroh stole among the mercenaries, and eventually fixed his eyes on the red-haired woman. Even though the other party's appearance has changed from before, and even the color of his hair and eyes has changed, he still knows that it is his Lily. But the other party didn't look at him, just looked at Morfi's building with some boredness.
Huck decided not to try to fight back - it didn't make any sense, with Shao by his side, there was no way he could seriously do anything to the mercenaries!
"The Morfi family welcomes the arrival of the Fili mercenary group." He chose to act as if nothing had happened before, "Please come with us." ”
The mercenaries followed in the footsteps of Reins. Reins and Lillian walked in front of the front, Reins still wearing her warm and casual outfit, while Lillian wore a white short-sleeved blouse and black leather shorts, and a red shoulder armor on her right shoulder; Elianne walked in the middle of the two of them, wearing a black off-the-shoulder short-sleeved top and a denim blue knee-length skirt - this was Ella's match for her, and if the girl wore white again, it would look too weak.
Bora and Ella were a little further back from Elian, with Ella wearing a high-slit open-chested dress that could even attend the party, while Bora wore a peach-colored waistcoat with vertical stripes over her white shirt and a pair of cute blue and white bloomers; The twins, Meda and Mita, were on Elian's left and right, dressed like the sons and daughters of a nobleman, one in a gorgeous bubble skirt and the other like a little guard—surprisingly, this was Rhine's doting on the twins, and she wanted to buy Mita a little prince's clothes, but Mita insisted on being his sister's knight.
Shuka and Imi were the ones who wore the ones that best suited their status as mercenaries. They wore short-sleeved black tights with leather vests in army green camouflage. Shukka wears trousers of the same color as his upper body, while Imi wears shorts of the same suit. Maybe it has something to do with their preferring to snipe in the shadows. They walked on the outermost part, and together with four other people, protected the three small ones in the middle.
As they walked into the hall, the members of the family were all secretly watching the Fillies, and when they saw the long, curly-haired blonde woman in the middle of the hall, Lily paused.
"Lily? Are you Lily? The woman stepped forward with the hem of her skirt and tried to touch Lillian's hand, but was dodged, "Oh my God, Lily, it's good that you're not dead." ”
Reins scoffed. Lillian snorted coldly.
"You've always been so good at acting, Socilia Lauren." Lillian said disdainfully, "How many times have you pretended to be such an innocent and affectionate face, whether it was to get that big fool to notice you, or for your own benefit?" I've seen that I want to throw up. ”
The woman's face seemed to freeze, and so did Iro's.
"Looks like you weren't that character before, Leanne, I can't imagine what kind of personality you used to be that would make them look so stupid about what you say to you. But at least I know why you hate the name 'Lily'. Reins smirked, and then led the other Fili to the other side of the area that was obviously vacant for them, "You talk slowly, and I've decided to find a place to rest instead of standing here with you." ”
Lillian glared at Reins, who snuggled into a chair next to the table and took Elianne into her arms.
"That's ...... Elianne? Socilia asked uncertainly, "Oh...... You've all become mercenaries? ”
"It's not a big deal, Lauren." Lillian said impatiently, "I'm only here today because my chief promised me to come over and restore the truth of the past—if I wanted to, I wouldn't have anything to do with you at all." ”
"Lily......" Iloh stepped forward, his hands trembling, "Lily...... You're really alive. ”
As Iroh spoke, Lillian became expressionless, while the other woman lowered her head slightly, her expression hidden behind her bangs was unrecognizable.
"Please don't call me that, Mr. Ganillo." Lillian said stiffly, "I hate that title, please call me Lillian - given there are so many Fillies here." ”
"Li...... Lilian ......"
Yiluo looked a little lost, and Hua Shao intervened in the conversation at this point.
"Miss Lillian, in return for Rhine's treatment of me, we have brought with us Socilia Lauren, who Rhines questioned, and would like to know what you are saying." Hua Shao motioned for Huck to take Iloh aside, "You may not want to mention this again, but ......"
"I see, tsk, Rhein knows to get me in trouble." She pouted in dissatisfaction, "The question is, what else is there to say about this thing?" When I was on a mission with the Ganillo family, I saw an injured Lauren family in an alley, so I went over and wanted to take him back to the medical area. Instead, he took me out of the mission area with my mouth covered, and threw me with a bunch of wolves that had been hungry for days. And when I fell to the ground, I saw Socilia Lauren pointing at me from a distance and saying something, and then she was gone. ”
"I know, that's the man's own actions!" Socilia hurriedly said, "I saw it and followed, trying to order him to bring you back, but I found that I didn't know him, and he didn't listen to my orders and wanted to take me away, so I could only desperately run to Iroh and ask him to save you......"
Lillian interrupted her with a sneer.
"Lauren, I don't have any interest in your lie-filled explanations." She yawned, "That's all I have for me, believe it or not." ”
"Leanne - you're too succinct to do it." Reins grumbled, "Why don't you say anything else?" For example, this young lady has poisoned you several times to try to make you disappear? Or is this young lady trying to threaten you with your sister's life to leave Ganillo? Or maybe I happened to see and hear all of you when I picked you up from the wolf's pile? ”
"You saw Lily being abducted?" Sohelia's voice raised, and Lillian frowned in disgust, "Why don't you stop it so we don't lose Lily-"
"'Are these wild wolves really hungry for 3 days without any food?' Completely ignoring her words, Rhines began to recite with a smile on her face, and Socilia's face froze, "'They don't seem to be brave enough, why didn't they devour this pariah the first time they saw her?' ’”
Reins smiled wickedly at her.
"How? Doesn't that sound familiar? Reins let go of Elianne and stood up and walked slowly towards her, "What I heard ten years ago, oh, I remember what a memory. ”
She stood in front of Socilia and jerked the distance between the two faces.
"It doesn't matter how much you quibble, Miss Lauren. I know some of the magic of time, and I'm sure your knowledgeable Miss 'Brain' can tell you that there are some kinds of magic that can turn back time in an area temporarily. Ten years is a bit too long for others, but for me, it's something that can be done very easily—"
Socilia was frightened by Rhine's eyes and words and took two steps back, her face turned pale and sweat began to break out on her head.
"Your concentration is too bad, isn't it?" Reins put her hand on Lilian's shoulder, "Liane, you've been counted by this kind of waste that can't achieve anything without the help of your own family guards?" You'll be laughed at by me for the rest of your life. ”
Lilian bared her teeth.
"Miss Lauren is different from civilians like us, living in fine clothes and food, and all she has to do every day is to learn how to be a lady, and of course she will not learn those despicable things like you."
Reins just smirked.
"Leanne, you can't say that, in order to let you live a stable life, I call it Long-Hearted Eyes."
Lillian rolled her eyes, and Rhines looked back at Socilia.
"How's that, miss? What are your thoughts? ”
Socilia pursed her lips tightly.
"You don't have any proof, mercenary." She was so angry that her voice was even lowered, her voice was dry and hoarse, and the kind of low voice that made people can't help but look sideways, "What you said is just your side-"
"Ahhh——!hh
A sudden scream erupted between the Fillies, and Reins and Lillian quickly turned to their sides, the white-haired girl curled up tightly on the ground with her head in her hands, her mouth still screaming loudly.
"Ellie!"
The two eldest sisters immediately ran back, and they held Elian in their arms, while the others took out their weapons from the space bag that Rhines had given them in an instant, and surrounded them with their backs, pointing their weapons at the people of the family. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. Hua Shao wanted to check on the situation, but Huck stopped her and walked over by herself.
"What happened to your companions?"
Bora held the flute across in front of him, his little kingfisher already on his shoulder, and he looked at Huck hostilely.
"Obviously, this should be asked of you. Oh, that young lady," the little kingfisher suddenly flew to Socilia's side, blocking her escape path, "you'd better not move, for if you run away now, you'll be convicted." ”
Socilia retreated to where she had stood in a bit of anger, while Rhines was still trying to reassure Eliam.
"Ellie? Ellie, what's going on? ”
"My Nails ——!" The girl kept crying, "My nails, it's been pulled out!" My nails! Sister! Sister! Where are you! Elianne hurts! Woo...... Elianne hurts! ”
The girl's voice was so sharp that it almost broke, and all the Fili changed their faces.
