Chapter 43: The Mercenary's Mission

The sound of the heel hitting the ground echoed in the basement of the Gione base, and the heavy sound and the speed of walking showed the not-so-good mood of the owner. And beside her, there was a relatively gentle footstep.

"Rhine, if you're in an upset mood, you can find some other solution instead of going around in circles here." The man gently persuaded, "You don't want to grind through the floor here, do you?" The building in Gionet was built by us, so it wasn't so easy to break. ”

The silver-haired mercenary stopped and glared at him fiercely, as if he was going to pounce on him in the next second.

"Who's interested in your broken floor?" She rolled her eyes widely, "Don't make any jokes about that, your mind is all disrupted." ”

She took another step, only this time her steps were much lighter, not as fast as before.

"I don't quite understand the reason for your anxiety right now." Appaya said slowly, "You've already found out where those people came from, haven't you?" At least the scope has been delineated. ”

"That's right, it's delineated to include almost half of the area of the Goddess Continent." Reins said sarcastically, "What the hell, are the people of Roses rabbits?" Why did you get so many branches? What are the fools of the church doing? How did they get so many buildings under their noses? At least the anomalous structures in this area are all in the Church's sphere of influence, what do they do every day? Don't they care about anything other than 'gifts'? ”

Appaya cautiously didn't answer the question, it was clear that although the mercenary was very angry, he should not blame the church at will—that was the right of the other party.

"Oh, of course, in addition to the 'gift', they are still having a good time talking with that god in the Demon King Continent." Rhines looked even more angry, "Although I knew that the church had arranged a lot of people in the Demon King Continent, but these fools in the Goddess Continent could still chat so happily with the gods over there?" Believing in the creator God can one be like the creator god to 'love all beings'? That's the Demon King's son—"

Apaya coughed softly, and he grabbed Reins' arm, half-forcing her to stop.

"Rhine, it's enough to be angry with the people and gods of the Demon King Continent, don't talk about anything else." "That's not good for you," he said softly, and you know that your 'Fili' may not like your attitude towards believers in the creation of God. ”

"If it had any grievances, it should have punished me long ago, and I don't know how many times I have scolded the church over the years because of Hermiria, the most extreme of fools."

Despite saying this, Reins still softened her tone. She stopped clinging to the church and turned to Roseos.

"'Roseos.'" "I have not heard of the name of this deity before, nor has he been recorded in any literature," she said rigidly. Of course, there are not all gods in the books that have been circulated by humans, and there will always be some gods who are unwilling to approach humans. But if he had the ability to murder other gods—perhaps even the creator gods—and build up this level of power in the places where humans lived, he shouldn't have been such an obscure god. ”

"It's not strange." Apaya put her arm around Rhine's shoulders and patted her gently and soothingly, "If it's a famous god, it will be difficult for him to get close to other gods and do something. And since both the Grim Reaper and the Demon King know his words, at least he's not completely unknown. ”

"But did you notice?" She frowned slightly, "Those people in the Demon King Continent haven't said detailed information about 'Rossos', and neither has the god called Figilio. This should obviously be an important clue. ”

Appaya tilted his head, realizing that if the problem was not resolved, he would not want to turn his lover's attention to anything else.

"Maybe they don't know it themselves?" He rolled his eyes, "Like you said, this is an important clue, and since they have all told us about the existence of 'Roseos', there is no need for them to hide this level of information anymore. ”

"They don't know?" Reins didn't seem to be able to accept this statement, but after a second of silence, she reluctantly accepted the possibility, "That makes sense...... But they don't know the intelligence of 'Roses'? It's normal for those four people not to know, but it's ridiculous that Figilio doesn't know as the son of the Demon King. Could it be that the Demon King doesn't know about 'Roseos' either? If even the gods don't know him, then who knows what kind of power he has? ”

"I think it's better to throw the problem back than to wrestle with it here." Apaya leaned on Rhine's shoulder, lazily pushing her chin into her neck, "This is also a question that the people of the Demon King Continent should think about, and they should have more information if they have access to their gods." ”

Reins pondered Apaya's proposals, and it must be said that engineers often had some really constructive suggestions on key matters, and perhaps this was the role of his logical thinking.

"You have a point." She nodded unconsciously, "I shouldn't be dwelling on responsibilities that aren't mine, I have other things to do." ”

Leynes glanced at her partner, and Apaya's obvious expression of "trouble has been solved" made her want to pour cold water on him.

"Then we should go on our mission now." She smirked and said, "Of course, it's my mission to be exact, and if you don't want to be with me, I don't have a problem with that." ”

Apaya snorted indignantly.

"Do I have any other choice?" He sarcastically asked, "How dare I choose an option other than to accompany you?" If that were the case, and not even the countless future proposals I would have to face countless failures, you would never let me step into your house even a single step as far as the most realistic of things were concerned. ”

Reins smiled innocently.

"You see, as long as you don't care about these two issues, you can stay in your research room."

Appaya rolled her eyes and pressed Reins' head from behind.

"Stop laughing at me, mercenary." He ruffled his long silver-white hair angrily, "Okay—what are we going to do now?" ”

Reins slapped Apaya's hand away and straightened up as she straightened her body as she straightened her hair.

"How can you still ask such a ridiculous question?" She glanced at him, "What am I here for?" Now we're going to give information to the family that is known for getting it—oh, maybe one of the sources of their intelligence is this, by squeezing their allies. ”

Apaya had to admit that he enjoyed watching Reins attack others with words. He could accept that he was occasionally attacked by her as a pleasure, but if there were too many of them, even he would be overwhelmed.

"Are you going to give them the range you just circled?"

"Of course." Reins responded lazily, this time she took Apaya's hand and walked towards the elevator together, "My task is just this, to help them eliminate the impossible area, and leave the rest to them to continue the investigation." By the way, I'll have to tell them about the anomalies and see if our great Ryan can find out the truth. ”

They stepped into the elevator and returned to the above-ground part of the Gione base. On the way to the Ryan family, Reins even hummed a tune in a good mood. Before reaching the Ryan family's area, Apaya suddenly let out an exclamation.

"You trust Murphy quite a bit now, don't you?"

Reins staggered to her feet, her abrupt movement nearly tripping Apaya.

"Where did you come from to come up with such ridiculous, funny, unreasonable conclusions?"

There was a clear threat in her tone, and Apaya believed that if he didn't retract his previous words, or give a reasonable explanation, he would face the same fate as he had previously said about choosing "not to accompany his partner".

"If it was you in the past, you would definitely have to do everything yourself." Apaya let herself show a calm expression, "Whether it's going to the ruins, or going to Roses' branch, or tracking down Roses' tracks. You don't have a good relationship with Ryan, but you were able to give them this task, which shows that you trust them in their ability to do their job and that they can do what you want them to do, not just tire them out. ”

Rhines stared at Apaya, but she found herself without any words to refute. The engineer's logical thinking, yes, can help her in the right thing, but it often makes her gnash her teeth in anger when it comes to small things - he uses factual evidence to substantiate what he wants to say, so that she can't find a loophole.

But it wasn't a difficult question for her, they weren't the two sides to debate, the two of them were lovers, so she was able to exercise some part of her rights when she wanted to.

"So what?" She raised an eyebrow, "I just don't like Ryan, I don't think Murphy is a reliable ally of the Fili mercenary group, what else do you want to say?" ”

Before Apaya could reply, she added another sentence slowly.

"It doesn't matter what you want to say, it doesn't matter if what you say makes sense." She raised the corners of her mouth in a sweet and dangerous arc, "If it puts me in a bad mood, we won't see each other for the next week, Apaya." ”

The blonde engineer was about to say something, but his partner's threats blocked him from speaking, causing him to nearly choke on himself. His embarrassment entertained the other party immensely, and to the laughter of the mercenaries, they stepped into the Ryan family's base.
