With a slight roar, Reins felt a vibration that represented the landing information of the flying ship. Huck had returned to the main operator's room to prepare, and Apaya had risen from his seat. And she was still sitting in her chair, stretching unhurriedly.

"Let's go." The blonde man patted the mercenary on the shoulder gently, "Arrived at our base." ”

She looked at Apaya, then slowly stood up. Follow them in the direction of leaving the flying ship, thinking as they go.

It's time to verify whether she's right or not. If the Engineer hadn't actually been as sluggish as he had appeared, or had been exploited by his family without being noticed, she would have needed to be ready for battle the moment she walked into their base - even the moment she stepped out of the flying ship. All the assumptions that she made an engineer would not hurt her were based on the fact that he was really an engineer who threw himself into mechanics.

The moment their feet hit the ground, Reinse's spirit tightened to a high point, and she searched for murderous or dangerous aura nearby. But then she let her tension go down - she didn't detect anything that would be detrimental to her, and her soul told her that there was no crisis.

She silently followed her family toward the white building in front of her. This building—no, these buildings make others feel their majesty, and no less aggressive than that.

The air elemental told her that some of the bricks contained different guns and shells. There was no doubt that the structure of the building must have been the work of some blonde engineer, and the hidden mechanism was not noticeable from the exterior alone - he noticed some details, such as the fact that the bricks were less likely to pick up dust than the others if they were moved frequently, so they kept every brick in the place white and flawless, even in the crevices.

Appaya looked at the thoughtful mercenary, who he knew must have obtained the secret of the building. In fact, from this alone, he thinks that the mercenary does not need to worry about walking into a family's base, no matter what the arrangement, she can see everything the moment she steps into the base.

But it is clear that his ideas are not shared by the parties. Reins gave the engineer a menacing smile. She knew very well what the engineer's simple brain cells were thinking, and she would never allow the other party to have such a false perception. Whether or not he could truly understand her sense of crisis, she would insist that Apaya admit that it was a very dangerous thing for her to step into the family. And when Reins saw the blonde man shrink his head and look away, she knew he understood the meaning of her smile - yes, that's right. If she is not satisfied, then his future will continue to be in the shadows.

Jura stood in the doorway to greet them, and Gail stood diagonally behind her. As they walked into the base, Yura moved like a butterfly to Rheins, smiling wide.

"Welcome, Reins." The girl smiled sweetly, and the mercenary chose not to care about her and called her by her name, "Can I take your hand?" ”

Rhines stared straight at her, and the girl happily took her hand and walked inside. She followed Yura's cheerful steps with a blank face, wondering why the girl in front of her could reach her so safely. Unlike Momomo's simplicity and cleanliness, Yura's soul aura has some impurities, but her firmness makes those impurities become beautiful embellishments. The girl's loyal bodyguard followed them with a straight face, as if opposed to such intimate contact.

"I beg your pardon, because the matter is more urgent, I will take you directly to see Shao, and I will not introduce you to our base for the time being."

Jura looked very apologetic, but Reins didn't think there was anything wrong with it - the most inappropriate thing was the girl's attitude.

"For me, I'd rather get out of here as soon as possible than get to know your base as if I were going to be a guest or stay here." She replied coldly, rejecting the girl's enthusiasm, "Just take me to your companions as soon as possible." ”

However, the girl didn't seem to care at all about her disappreciation, so Reins continued to be led forward by Yura. She could feel the Engineer looking at her embarrassed and laughing at her, but as the distance between them and their destination was gradually shortening, she was distracted by something else.

Her blood was agitated, as if she had met some enemy...... No, no, it's not any dangerous uneasiness or excitement, it's just restlessness. If Rheins were to describe it, he would probably choose the description of "fear that does not pose a threat to himself......

This can't be, there is nothing in this base that makes her afraid, and how can there be a person who is afraid without a threat? …… But the truth was that the panic was growing, and she felt that she should have seen or heard of this situation somewhere, and she couldn't remember—

"Here, this is Shao's ward."

Jura's voice caused Reins to draw her attention to reality, and she was well aware that what was unsettling her was behind this door, and that she could not and could not escape from it. She could only watch as the girl pushed it away—

"Shao, Miss Reins is here." Jura walked gently to the bed, and Huck rushed to the patient's side as the door opened, and everyone walked into the room, except for the mercenary.

The woman on the hospital bed had short black hair and black eyes, which was unique to the inhabitants of the eastern part of the continent. Her appearance is very ordinary, but she has the temperament of a scroll, just looking at her is like reading an antique book, her aura is not gentle and easy to break, she is even tougher than anyone present, which means that she can do more amazing things.

However, there was no way for Rhines to notice, she could only stand in the doorway and watch the woman, her blood boiling, shouting something, but she didn't know what it was, she wanted to know, she wanted to know very much-

- Trying to know why just looking at the woman, she almost couldn't control her tears and let it fall.

"Reinse Fili, right?" The woman, who should be called "Hua Shao", was also looking directly at Reins curiously, "I'm sorry you had to come here in person, and thank you very much for the petals you gave me earlier, they made me feel a lot better." ”

Collect the heart, Rhine, close the heart. She kept repeating to herself. You're not someone who should be controlled by emotions, you need to be calm, you need to be calm at all times – think of your Fili!

Filly's countenance allowed her to restrain her emotions well, and she finally walked towards the hospital bed. Apaya, who was familiar with the mercenary, felt that the other party's face was very pale, but he was not sure if this incident was just his delusion.

"I need to use magic to test your body." Reins spoke, and she could feel something in her throat causing her voice to be very dry, "I don't need you to do anything, I'm just telling you not to be unnecessarily wary of it." ”

All her strength was used to control her emotions and blood, and she didn't want to think more about diplomatic rhetoric or polite language. She didn't wait for the other party's answer, just condensed a translucent white ball of light that filled her palm from her palm, Hua Shao just smiled and looked at her, as if to show that she trusted her no matter what she did.

But this is not possible. As Molfi's brain, how could she possibly give her trust to a stranger she had never met. Reins thought so, and then let the ball of light move closer to Hua Shao.

The glow that overflowed from the ball of light swept over the patient's body, and a large amount of ominous-looking black liquid quickly accumulated in the orb of light.

"It's a very bad situation." Reins whispered, "The existence that threatens your life force is almost 80% of your blood, and I need to know when this began." ”

Hua Shao pondered for a while, and without waiting for her to answer, Huck preemptively answered the question: "2 months." She has been in a hospital bed for 2 months now. ”

Reins shifted her eyes to Huck's, then looked at the others to make sure he was not wrong. She then went on to ask, "What happened before that?" ”

"What happened? Shao just fell down one day without warning—"

"Three days before my first fall, we had a fight with a monster." Hua Shao softly interrupted Huck's words, "I was attacked that day when we were outside, and I was scratched on the arm by the claws of that demonic beast. ”

As he spoke, Hua Shao rolled up his sleeves and showed the scars on his arms to Reins.

"The scar never went away, but it didn't bleed either. I've actually tried to touch it, but I can't touch it at all. Hua Shao looked down at it, "It's as if it's not really on my arm, but through my arm to something-"

"Soul Wounding Beast." Reins reached out to touch the scar, her fingers faintly glowing blue, and Hua Shao was stunned for a moment, "You can feel the burning heat at the location of this scar now, right?" …… This kind of scar is a characteristic of the Soul Wound Beast, and one of its attacks can directly damage the soul of a person. One of these variants will inject toxins into your bloodstream through the wounds they cause, and the moment the infusion is complete, the real scars on your body will be unnoticeable. All you can see now is the scar that your soul manifests through your body. ”

Reins withdrew her hand and took two steps back.

"I can't believe it." She said softly, "You can actually let a civilian be attacked by a soul beast, especially since she is still your brain. The attack of the Soul Wounded Beast is very difficult to solve, but on the other hand, its disadvantages are also quite distinct. Its range is so narrow that if you get 5 meters away from it, it won't be able to attack you in an instant - it needs to walk in front of you first, and it won't even be able to run. ”

"Then you can save her, can you!" Huck said eagerly, "We don't even know what that beast is called, we've never seen it before, but you can tell what it is just by looking at her wounds—"

"Save her?" Reins let herself look into the corner where no one was, her eyes a little empty, "Yes, I have that method, but with her current physical condition, you don't know how harsh that method is, and if it fails, it will even kill her on the spot." ”

"I'm not afraid of this, because I know I don't have much to live." Hua Shao said calmly, "But I want to know, is this method harmful to you, or the healer who wants to save me?" ”

Reins turned her gaze back to hers. It was very easy to talk to smart people, whether it was the previous explanation of her own situation or the sensitivity at this time, which saved her from the strength to explain. How can she answer this question? Of course it hurts, to be precise, there is a great risk, if according to her usual intentions, she doesn't want to save this woman, but her soul is clamoring for her to risk reinventing herself to save this life, otherwise she may regret it.

Regret? What do you regret? It definitely won't be because of Apaya's relationship, as long as she tells the way to cure it, everyone here will understand that Hua Shao is almost certain to die. No, not because of the engineer, but because of something else, about herself—

"Are you worried that we won't be able to pay us?" Huck suddenly said, "You can ask for it now, and if I can do it, I can give it to you right now, as long as you can save her." ”

Rewarded? No, that's not something that the remuneration can explain—

"Are we late? Sorry, we were patrolling the base. ”

A brown-haired man and a dark green-haired teenager ran in, they also looked at Hua Shao with concern, and the brown-haired man continued, "How is Shao's condition? What about the mercenary? ”

The dark-green-haired boy was much more stable than the brown-haired man, and when he saw Reins, he dragged the brown-haired man and called him helplessly: "Iro, Your Excellency the mercenary is here." ”

Iroh turned his head with a look of shame on his face, he had just rushed to learn the details of the situation, and he hadn't even looked closely at the environment. Hua Shao is too important to their alliance, and if Hua Shao is lost, this alliance may not even continue to exist.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, please forgive me for my faux pas." Ilo bowed down and sincerely apologized, "I am extremely sorry that I was worried about the safety of my companion and lost my etiquette for a while. ”

His actions did not react in exchange for the mercenary, he hesitated for a moment, straightened up, and found that the other party was staring at him deadly, and even made him feel a dangerous chill.

Everyone in the room looked at Reins and Ilo, and when they found that Ilo was dazed, they all focused on Reinse, while the mercenary covered his face with one hand and crossed his stomach with the other, bending slightly and laughing.

"I really didn't expect that I would be right. Hahahaha – I should know, it never fooled me. "Rhine's laughter doesn't make people happy, it makes it more creepy," said Ilo Ganillo. Ilo Ganilo! ”

"Excuse me? Your Excellency Mercenary, may I ask me—"

Iroh's inquiry was interrupted by Rhein's unceremonious wave, and she stopped laughing and straightened up, looking at him with a cold face, but she was speaking to Huck.

"Huck Wright, you said you were going to do what you could to do what I asked for as long as I asked for it, right?" Reins's tone was extremely calm, and her request made everyone's faces change, "Then, hand over Ilo Ganillo's fiancée, or have her body appear in front of me, this is the reward I have requested." ”

"What!" Iroh exclaimed, and his face showed offended anger, "Your Excellency, if I annoy you, then you can take your anger out on me instead of my innocent fiancée-"

The others looked at Reinth with strange eyes, and her request couldn't help but make people wonder if Iloh had some kind of regrettable past with the mercenary-

"No, Ilo Ganiro. It's your fiancée herself who annoys me. The stares were even more eerie, and Rhine's next words confused them - except for Iloh himself, "It's been ten years, but I think the charm around your neck should make me think that you haven't forgotten that girl?" ”

Reins tilted her head and raised a heart-wrenching smile. And Iro's expression gradually became a little trance-like.

"Do you remember the girl named Lillian who was abandoned ten years ago?"

At that moment, Iroh's face turned extremely pale.
