It wasn't until Reins and Apaya walked out of the lab that they felt alive again.

The underground research institute in Gioone does have a good temperature control system and also guarantees the circulation of fresh air. However, the makeshift cubicle they built in Lab 1 didn't take care of this, and being able to breathe normally without breath leakage was already quite an ideal result that could be achieved in a short period of time.

By the time they were caught by Hua Shao, the two of them were still sitting idly in the courtyard on the benches and chatting.

"You're finally willing to come out of the lab?" Hua Shao's voice came from behind the bench where they were sitting, "If I hadn't seen Rhine come out looking for food every day, I would have someone forcibly break into the lab and drag you two out." ”

Reins turned her head to look back, and the black-haired woman looked at them condescendingly with her arms folded over her chest and her chin slightly raised.

"We're doing the right thing, too." The silver-haired mercenary said lazily, "Didn't you see that the two of us just cleaned ourselves and took them out to bask in the sun to prevent ourselves from getting moldy?" ”

"That's a fitting statement." Hua Shao sneered, "In order to prevent you from rusting, I have something to discuss with you here." ”

Without waiting for Rheins' response, Hua Shao walked around the bench and walked to Rheins's side and sat down.

"Discuss? Is it really just a discussion? Reins sighed, "Let's do it when we're done, right?" We're just going to be able to rest for a while, but it's not completely over. ”

"Don't worry." She smiled and said, "Just help you move your brain." ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, knowing that even if she objected, it would be useless, so she simply leaned on Apaya's body and made a deferential appearance.

"I also mentioned to you the last time I saw you, our guests from the Demon King Continent will be going back in the next few days." Hua Shao said briskly, "It stands to reason that we will definitely hold a farewell banquet." ”

"So what?" Reins looked at her suspiciously, "Do you want to make any ingenious arrangements?" ”

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid our guests won't be too happy." Hua Shao shrugged his shoulders with regret, "I'm just thinking, those two people, named Ji Aduo and Lieta, do you remember?" Looking at the meaning of those gods, these two people are going back to the Demon King Continent with them. Do you think I'm going to give those two men to them at the banquet, or do I want them to take them quietly when they're leaving? ”

“…… What's there to tangle with this kind of thing. Reins rolled her eyes, "Let them choose, you're not their mother." Even if the two continents may be reconciled in the future, it is not something that can be done now, what kind of heart do you have? ”

Hua Shao frowned in embarrassment, and Rhine patted the top of her head unceremoniously.

"Okay, don't say you're going to use this little thing to make me use my brain." She raised her chin and looked at them in response to Hua Shao's eyes just now, "What's the main thing?" Let's hear it. ”

The black-haired woman shook her head slightly, revealing an innocent look.

"I think you're thinking too badly, Rhine." There was a sly glint in her eyes that Rhines was quite familiar with, "What I tell you is always for your own good. ”

"Come less." Reins pressed a finger against Hua Shao's face and pushed her away from her in disgust, "Say it quickly, or I'll go back to my house with Apaya and lock you out." ”

"Okay." Hua Shao pretended to sigh, and in the next second, her expression became serious, "Rhine, I know that maybe you don't have much interest in these tedious things, but at least, Morfi wants to do something about the current situation." ”

Reins stared at her expressionlessly, not looking very inclined to take her words, but finally continued to listen quietly.

"The future of the Goddess Continent and the Demon King Continent is indeed far away, because we haven't sorted out our own affairs yet." Hua Shao leaned on the back of his chair and looked up at the sky above the courtyard, "The grudges that the family and the mercenaries have accumulated for hundreds of years, I know that they can not be easily resolved by relying on Molphy. But if we don't do it, nothing will change. ”

"What do you want to do?" Rhines asked indifferently, "A family alliance that has been established for less than ten years, this form itself is a new type of organization that is difficult to recognize in the family, and you still want to challenge the centuries-old tradition?" Do you think Murphy has survived for too long? ”

"From the moment Molfi did not reject mercenaries, Molfi has been hostile to those old-fashioned families." Hua Shao was noncommittal about the danger they faced when Reinz mentioned it, "But now, Morfi has left those old guys far behind, which shows that we are right. The families that are receptive to new things and the young ones who are new are neutral and wait-and-see, and the current situation of the Rhine family is a little more optimistic than we thought. ”

"Attitude is just a nihilistic thing, and as long as it is not broken, it will never be classified as an objective position." "The reason why they can tolerate Morfi now is because you haven't publicly declared that you want to be friendly with the mercenaries or even become family. No matter how much you say as an individual, it will only be considered a private opinion, or you may have some intention that other families do not know, but which is beneficial to other families. ”

"Once it is revealed, we will become public enemies in the family, and I can still think of this possibility." Hua Shao smiled meaninglessly, "But with Morfi's existing combat strength, it will be more difficult if those big families join forces to attack us, but most of those big families are stubborn and suspicious, and they will not join forces with other families without scruples." ”

Reins raised an eyebrow, a smile of unknown meaning on her lips.

"And the big family will not be the first to end up in person, and the small family will be thrown out as a waystone, so that there is no threat to Murphy, which is really calculated."

"Passing the prize." He said modest words, but Hua Shao's face did not have any humble look, "I have fully considered the pressure of the family in this regard, and it can almost be said that I am in the chest. But what I'm not sure about now is not the family, the Rhine. ”

Apaya, who was sitting on the sidelines, wisely chose not to intervene in their conversation, pretending not to hear anything. It's just that when Rhines was silent, he still quietly squeezed Rhines's palm to show his wordless support for her.

"I won't deny that we have gotten along well with you since Filly lives in Morfi, and there have been no obnoxious disputes over the tasks of cooperation." "But excluding a few of us who have special relationships with some of you...... Molfi and Fili still get along more like partners. Of course, there is also a reason why Fili's number is too small, but this is a situation that cannot be ignored in the mercenary group. ”

Reins took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"The number of families and mercenaries can be equal because the mercenaries are relatively scattered. We don't have mercenary groups with hundreds or thousands of members, assuming that if we want families and mercenaries to get along equally, the pressure caused by numbers cannot be ignored, and it will evolve into a family having to face several or dozens of mercenary groups. However, the relationship between the mercenary groups is not to the level of mutual trust, which will only turn into a worse strife. ”

"We might be able to make some changes." Hua Shao said calmly, "It's not impossible to separate some family members to live with the mercenaries. Of course, it also depends on whether the mercenaries are willing to accept members of the family. For me, there's another better way. ”

The two women, who were sisters by blood, looked at each other, and neither of them gave in.

"Let the family and the mercenaries truly become one." Hua Shao said quickly as if he was afraid of being interrupted by Rhine, "It's not that the mercenaries are incorporated into the family's system, nor are they made the family mercenaries. We can be like the Morfi Alliance, where the five families have not lost their autonomy, but they are one with each other. ”

Before Reins could speak, Hua Shao only changed his breath briefly and continued to speak quickly.

"I know you'd say it's naïve, but Murphy had faced such difficulties before it was formed, and I believe we can do it - an alliance of family mercenaries, actually, that's what I originally intended, but I think we need to give each other some time to get together."

“…… I don't see any point in your proposal. Reins frowned, "Even so, we're still just a few scattered people—"

"Rhine, you just didn't pay attention because you didn't care." Hua Shao firmly interrupted her conclusion, "What is the manifestation of the five families being one? Is it just that we treat each other as family? While this is important, I am well aware that some of the fundamental elements must be carefully established in order to ensure that our rights are equal. ”

Hua Shao's words made Rhines narrow, and after a while, she raised her eyebrows in a little surprise.

"I'm sure you realized." Hua Shao's tone softened, "What is really still an independent part of the five families is the leadership of each family. ”

"And as the basic part of the manpower, it has long been broken up by you into a team belonging to Morfi, and the leader of each family can mobilize this part of the combat power alone......"

Reins fell into deep thought, she never let Fili really integrate into Morfi, although she did not hide her thoughts, but it was also unexpected that Hua Shao was able to notice this so quickly in addition to the busy family affairs.

After all, Hua Shao is Molphy's "brain", and she always seems to underestimate the other party's acuity and wisdom.

A cooperative relationship built solely on feelings is unreliable, especially when two parties are not just two people, but other lives that need to be responsible for themselves, and cooperation based purely on feelings is irresponsible.

And Hua Shao once again showed her comfortable means, before they could propose, she laid out reasonable and trustworthy conditions for them to choose.

…… If Murphy could really respect Filly to this extent......
