Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 70 Prosoya and Carcas
After the previous day's meeting had set the general scope of Roses' truth, Reins went to Ella to discuss which mercenary groups belonged to the scope of their activities.
Compared to Reins, Ella, who often interacts with foreign affairs, is more familiar with the actions of other mercenary groups.
"At first glance, there are a lot of mercenary groups in this area, but ...... As I happen to know, there are two guilds in the center of this range, one called Misefa and the other called Jokla. Ella nodded to the map, "There are a few other unions scattered around, but compared to Mithefa and Jok...... Those are just three or two kittens, not a climate. β
Reins cupped her cheeks and fell into deep thought.
"What about the two unions?"
"How to put it, these two unions look similar, but the essence is completely two extremes." Ella picked up the cigarette stick, "It's all looking neutral and nothing black...... But one favors shady commissions, and the other is a well-known union. β
Ella took a puff of her cigarette and spat out the window. Reines didn't interrupt her thoughts, and after a while she came back to her senses and continued.
"The Zokla union is a rare person, but their union hall is quite sunny and refreshing, right? The person in charge there is also a cheerful guy, and he doesn't think there's anything bad about the commission they received, just take the money to eliminate the disaster. He also invited me to drink, but his wine there was so inferior that I didn't like it very much. β
The rose-haired woman laughed and shook her head.
"The head of the Miserfa Guild is shrewd, that cunning old man." Ella took another puff of her cigarette, the smoke almost obscuring her face, "That old man is afraid of death, he won't blatantly touch something he shouldn't touch, and he will act like a righteous person, even if the mercenary who fails to commission will not be blamed by him, but will comfort them and help them clean up the mess - at least on the surface." β
Hearing her description, Reins raised an eyebrow.
"It doesn't sound like you like the Miserfa Guild very much."
"Oh, is there?" Ella pretended to blink innocently, and Reins scoffed.
"Come on, don't pretend, tell me which one you think is more like the one who owns Roses."
Ella was lost in thought again, and she forgot to smoke her cigarette.
"If you want me to say, the possibility of two unions is not low." Ella said slowly, "The Zokla Guild itself is doing that kind of commission, so their mercenary group has always been very secretive, and they can use this advantage to do something more." And although the old man of the Misifa Guild would not dare to contact Roses directly, if a mercenary came into contact with Roses, he would definitely turn a blind eye. β
She glanced at Reins, then tilted her head.
"If you really want me to judge, then I can only tell you by my own liking, I believe that the mercenary who colluded with Roses is in the Miserfa Guild. But...... This is just my personal preference, because the head of the Jokla union has a temperament that is more to my liking. β
Rhines looked at Ella inquiringly, and if she didn't know Ella, she would have thought that the head of the Ruok union was Ella's lover.
Yesterday Hua Shao told her about Iori-
"Anyway, that's all I know." Ella grinned as she picked up the cigarette stick again, "It's up to you to decide how you want to implement it." β
Reins nodded briefly, then glanced at Ella again.
"I've learned a little bit about Iore's departure from Zant Town." Ella's smile quickly faded as she said this, "They said Iori didn't want to tell you to get your forgiveness in this way, so they told meβbut I don't know if you want to know that. β
"......" Ella turned her face away, she looked out the window at the dark clouds, and frowned tightly, "Do you think I should know?" β
The silver-haired mercenary took two steps forward and gently patted Ella on the shoulder.
"It's your business, and I have no right to interfere with you."
Ella fell silent, as if the incident had caused her considerable distress.
After a long time, even the clear slapping of the twins and the scolding of Bora could be heard in the living room of the station, and she sighed as if she had woken up.
"I'll go talk to Bora." Ella whispered, "After that...... I'll look for you again. β
Reins looked at her and nodded.
"Don't worry too much, Ella, you know we're all on your side."
The other man replied with a bitter smile and went back to his room.
"Is the Misefa union the same as the Jokla union......
In the base of the Ryan family, Hua Shao touched his chin and thought.
"Even though Ella said it was just her personal inclination, I still trusted Ella." Reins shrugged, "But it's not a decision I can make alone. β
"On the family's side, we're basically sure, right?" Hua Shao didn't say anything about the mercenaries, and instead talked about their results, "Although they all seem to belong to the territory of some small families that have nothing to do with it on the surface, but ...... Sanger always has some special information here. β
The named man looked up at her, while Ozra looked proud.
"These small families are all privately related to a certain big family." Sanger began to explain that he rarely spoke, and even when he did, his voice was cold, and that he was probably only able to soften when confronted by Ozla, "Whether they had been favored or had innocuous conflicts, they had contact with the family named Prosoya. β
Rhines frowned, the name of the family felt somewhat familiar to her, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Prosoya is a big family." Hua Shao followed his words and introduced the family, "It should be said that before Morfi was founded, Prosoya was supposed to be the leader of the family - but Morfi appeared, and their head of the family did not show any inappropriateness, but has been assisting Morfi in managing the family. β
"It seems very simple, you robbed them of the honor and benefits that they would have received, so you hold a grudge." Rhines said with a smirk, and Hua Shao seemed to be entangled.
"If that's the case, then their acting skills are too good." She sighed, "They did pull us up when we were in trouble...... And as far as I know, they also helped Jura when the Gione family had a struggle for power change. β
Reins raised an eyebrow.
"In any case, since this is the result of your own investigation, then you should believe it." The silver-haired mercenary glanced at the map again, then looked thoughtful, "Can you find out if there is any connection between it and the mercenary?" β
"This ...... It's obvious. Hua Shao smiled helplessly, "You must know that the family and the mercenaries have been opposed for so long...... Morfi was the first to dare to make peace with the mercenaries, and Prosoya had been able to gain so much prestige because they had always been clearly hostile to the mercenaries. β
This sentence finally reminded Rhines of the family, which Ella had told her when she had nothing to doβthe heads of the Jokla and Mithafa unions had complained to her that the Prosoya family had often caused them a lot of trouble because of their frequent actions.
However, Ella had privately inquired with some minor mercenaries, and the mercenaries of the Zokla Guild had actual casualties, while the mercenaries of the Misifa Guild encountered many obstacles when they only carried out their commissions, and although they were sometimes seriously injured, they were never permanently injured or killed in the true sense.
Although the head of the Mithifa Guild explained that it was because their mercenaries were very united, and because they had a good reputation with the outside world, the family did not dare to touch them casually, the head of the Ruokla Guild disdained but agreed with him, but ......
In this case, it is really impossible to conclude that Misefa is really innocent.
If it's the Misifa Guild, then one of the most famous mercenary groups there is the Cargus.
The Carquis Mercenary Regiment she had seen a few times before. Unlike the amiable image of the head of Miserfa, Carques has a somewhat maverick style, not minding to do good and bad things, but always doing seemingly casual actions to change people's perceptions before they really resent them.
For example, they once took on a mission to avenge the client, and it is said that the other party's death was very tragic. But after the revenge was over, he let go of the other party's young son, and entrusted the baby to an ordinary family to raise.
Regardless of the reality of the matter itself - many mercenary groups will dismiss their actions because they don't make sense. But their behavior and attitude still earn them some appreciation among the general population.
So, could it be Carques?
Although it stands to reason that Calquis is too conspicuous to be suitable for this kind of role, it is not certain that it is because people think this way that Rossos will choose them instead.
"Looks like we only have two options." Rhines closed her eyes and thought, "One is to find Roses' base to get more information, but I suspect this method will be less effective, because we have already attacked Roses twice, they must have been prepared; The other is...... Go to the object of our suspicion and find out. β
"I want to ...... Why don't you do it both together? Hua Shao smiled kindly, "Anyway, if there is a problem in Roseos's intelligence, Rhines can also see it, right?" As for the family, we have contact, and the mercenaries have Ella, who knows them well, I think it couldn't be better. β
Rhines looked at her wordlessly, as if to express a denunciation.
"Don't do that, dear Rhine, although I know that this will make you feel sorry for the busy Apaya, but it is also to solve the problem more efficiently."
The silver-haired mercenary rolled her eyes, shook her head and walked out, waving her hand at Hua Shao before she was about to disappear from their view, signaling that she would relay the matter to Ella.
