Chapter 162: The Rabble
Before Hela sat the lynx back in her seat, the networms sat quietly in the corner of the room and watched the men. Her hand unconsciously stroked her abdomen twice, and even though her abdomen was not yet bulging, such a movement still made her feel a little reassured. This sense of peace of mind helps to observe everyone present more calmly. By the time the dealer sat back down, the mercenary had a clearer idea of the few people present.
Of these, her gaze was especially fixed on two people. One of them, naturally, was a bobcat, and from the perspective of the networm, she could see the somewhat crazy smile in the shadow of the other's messy hair. The mercenary knew this smile, she had seen it on the faces of addicts who had endured a long period of addiction and finally been freed, and on the faces of those who were called crazy by normal people. She didn't want to know which of the two was a bobcat, because either one was quite dangerous.
As for the second person who is valued by the networm, it may be a bit surprising. Because instead of paying attention to the monstrous gatekeeper, she noticed the diminutive Sach. A child, he is no less dangerous than a madman. This may not be easy to understand, because in the eyes of ordinary people, children are always harmless and powerless, but in fact this is not the case, and it can even be said that it is the complete opposite. Children are often not harmless and powerless, but most of them are ignorant. Ignorance here does not mean pure knowledge, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, those who are born after two years old to speak and read at the age of three, and who are five years old and literate are not many, but there are also many prodigies. Therefore, it is not right to belittle a child based solely on the amount of knowledge he has.
Their ignorance is at the level of experience and experience. They cannot be blamed for the lack of understanding of life among the young people who are referred to by adults as children, because they are still in the initial stages of life and can only experience growth, and therefore cannot understand first-hand what aging and death are. Because of this, they can easily talk about life and death, the most serious proposition that every life can think of, but few children know how to be in awe of these two words and the concepts they represent. Coupled with the fact that their young lives are too easy to fall into simple dualism, they will not hesitate to destroy and destroy what stands in their way, and there is no hesitation or reflection on this. When children act cruelly in their innocence, the sense of uncontrollability and discomfort is countless times stronger than that of a heinous thug.
The webworm has always disliked children getting involved in such things, and part of the reason is that she was trained in this situation. As a mercenary people, the spider tamers have never let their children have a good childhood, and the toys they give to their children are weapons, and the bedtime stories they tell are assassinations and wars. In the past, the webworm didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but since she realized that another little life was being conceived in her womb, she began to realize that such a childhood was problematic.
However, the mercenary would not directly ask Hela to withdraw from the operation, which would undoubtedly make the boy feel disrespectful, and she also heard the Lynx talk about Saich. The kid may have had too much to do with the witch. And if that's the case, she shouldn't even go out of her way to discuss the topic with Hela.
While the webworm was observing the others, the witch was also watching her with her peripheral vision. Hela had sought the mercenary's help not only because she was in possession of the Iron Amulet, but the Grave Girl knew that of all the people in the room, the Networm was the one she could trust. Because just like the networm thinks about the bobcat and Sech, Hela doesn't think that the gambler and the child can help her save Kiri, the former is too extreme, and the latter, maybe Sach can become a qualified guard after a few years of training by the witch, but that's not now. Although the shadow beast in the eye socket gave Saich the ability to protect himself, there were still too many parts of his body that needed to be sculpted. And the mountain monster, yes, he is a qualified gatekeeper, but he is a gatekeeper loyal to the witch group. Even though the Great Witch had now handed over his command to herself, Hela was still not sure how he would behave when she asked the Mountain Monster to deal with another witch.
The action against Kiri is not something to be joked about. They only had one chance, and if they failed this time, even if the other witches didn't notice anything unusual, the part of Kiri that belonged to Kouira would become more vigilant, and if she hid in her room, then Hela would have nothing to do. "Alright, I'm sure we can get back to where we left now. But Mr. Bobcat's words remind me, and I must tell you first that what I am doing now is to help Miss Cooira, and if there is any other purpose in this, it is because I do not want to lose an ally and friend like her. ”
The lynx spread his hands, and the expression on his face was rather complicated. He didn't believe Hela's words, for the sake of allies and friends? Either way, the witches were the leaders of Heartbreaker's Bay, and it was hard to imagine that the people who ruled this filthy region could have such noble qualities themselves. However, there's no need to puncture every lie, right, a lot of things are known to be not as rosy as they sound, but you don't have to get bloody every time. "Your concern for your friends is respectable, Ms. Hela. But I still don't understand what role I can play in this help. You see, though you said you were going to bring that lady Kouira here, she's also the daughter of a noble raven, and if you can't do that, I'm afraid we'll all have a hard time doing it. ”
"Don't be so hasty to draw conclusions, my good sir. The Grave Girl smiled, she had a somewhat bold plan when she went to seek help from the webworms, "I promise she'll come." And I promise you'll play a pretty big part in that. As long as you prove your worth, Kuyla and I will be grateful to you, and the gratitude from the witch will not be just a few blood dollars, and we can give you more than you think. ”
Kite. Of course, there is no such thing as a check, so the word may be replaced with something else. Still, the lynx made this judgment in his heart about Hela's promise. But he didn't show that, not at all. "Then tell me what I should do, Miss Hela. I don't need to know all your plans, just want to know what I have to do. It's easier for you and me. ”
"Well, you did remind me that it would be better for me to give each of you your respective tasks to be safe. As for you, Mr. Lynx, I have heard from the sea breeze that there seems to be a considerable number of people on the docks who have been dissatisfied with the behavior of the witch colonies lately. I think it's time for them to vent some of their anger. ”
