Chapter 112: Hot Potato
"You're going to make her a mercenary?" asked Fed, quickly putting down the grilled fish that he was crossing.
"That's right, she's top-notch in archery, and she's got a lot of survival and hunting skills," Russell kept his eyes on Ayana, "Normally, she won't drag you down." ”
Feder also looked at the fourteen-year-old girl, who had no understanding of why Russell would make such a request.
But the Ayana didn't say a word, just lowered her head, stood up, and walked into the distance, still chewing on the rabbit meat in her mouth that had not yet been swallowed.
Russell saw her walk away and said, "When she was five years old, all her family members were killed by mercenaries, so she has always hated mercenaries," Fielder heard this, and Russell's request was even more puzzled, "Originally, she was like a lone wolf in this group of thieves, basically except for Feo and Nangus, she didn't say a word to anyone else, but a year and a half ago, I came here, and she learned a lot about mercenaries from me." ”
Feo shook his head and said, "That's right, Ayana has always wondered why those mercenaries killed her parents and ruined her family, and she has no way of understanding that behavior. ”
"If according to the two seniors, those mercenaries should be there to take away her family's money. Fidel responded.
Russell waved his hand and said, "Of course we know why, but for a child who was only five years old at the time, the murder caused a lot of trauma in her heart, and that incident caused her to become extremely withdrawn, and that changed after meeting me. ”
Feder didn't know what Russell had done to change the little girl, if it was an ordinary person, seeing the whole family being killed at the age of five would definitely have a shadow in his heart that could never be erased.
"Then in that case, why did you want her to join the mercenary group?"
"I'm just the opposite of what you think," Russell could see Field's doubts, "I think she must join your mercenary group to have a chance to re-understand the world and change more." ”
Russell tells Feder that when she was twelve years old, Ayana found the mercenary group that killed her parents, and she killed all 160 of them in one night. Most of the mercenaries were killed in their sleep when they were shot in the head with an arrow by Ayana, and this tragedy made those who knew about it still have lingering fears. In the Rock Thieves, the only people who knew about it were Fei and Nangus, and Russell, who was later told.
"Actually, there are only two choices in front of me, one is to let her join your mercenary group and let her accept this world again. ”
"What about the other one?"
"The other can only kill her. As Russell said this, he glanced at Ayana, who was walking away. The thin figure loomed in the night.
Fed didn't know what to say for a moment. If what Russell said is true, then this short, good-looking little girl is definitely an extremely dangerous figure. Being able to kill one hundred and sixty mercenaries in one night, even if it is oneself, may not be able to do it - in addition to ability, the most important thing is that extremely cold-blooded heart.
"But joining my mercenary group will make her accept the world?"
Feo: "That's right, I had already checked with your men the day before you woke up, and I probably knew what you were doing before. ”
"The person I fancy won't let me down," Russell said, looking at Fidel with his eyes, "neither you nor Andre are like other mercenary captains on this continent. By the way, I would like to tell you that she will have some psychosis at certain times, such as standing next to you while you are sleeping, looking at you coldly. When he said this, his tone also became creepy.
Fei De would not believe the other party's far-fetched reason. He just thinks that Russell wants to throw this extremely gray and dangerous little girl into his own hands. Indeed, with such a dangerous and twisted little girl by his side, he will not be able to sleep well at night. Especially someone like Russell who has been through the storm must be extremely vigilant and cautious. This little girl is only fourteen years old now, and she has already stabbed an entire mercenary group of mercenaries, and I am afraid that in the future, she will definitely become a killer with an extremely unstable mind.
Presumably, Russell and Fio have considered various ways to kill Ayana, but they are not sure enough to solve this hidden danger.
Seeing that Feder was silent, Russell immediately laughed and said, "Look at you, I'm scared! Don't worry, young man, although Ayana can only talk to me, Feo, and Nangus here, I believe that after getting along with you, I will definitely become cheerful." The smile on his face was as if he was genuinely congratulating Fed on acquiring a treasure.
"yes, come to think of it, we're just a group of thieves, and it's a shame to have such a powerful character as Ayana stay here. Feo chimed in.
Feyder was tempted to refuse, for a strange little girl was not his responsibility at all, but he saw a threat in Russell's eyes—the other party showed that he was kind and warm, but in fact he was a cunning man with a back hand.
"Then wait until André wakes up, he's better at dealing with people. ”
Seeing that the other party had made concessions, Fei and Russell stopped talking about Ayana, saying that they would wait until the next day to talk to Ayana about it, and they would definitely convince her.
After everyone had eaten, Fei O began to complain about the ups and downs of his life through the strength of wine. Russell had already heard the other party's complaints, but when Feo saw that someone else was there, he began to talk about the past again.
Fio claimed to have been the most trusted staff member of one of the Grand Dukes of the Empire, but he was envied by the other people he worked with, and framed him. As a result, he almost died under the duke's suspicious knife. Later, he wandered and served, and served beside several nobles, giving advice. It's just that in the end, because their talents are too sharp, they are either jealous of their masters, or resented by their collaborators. In the end, Fei O was disheartened and decided to retreat to the mountains and forests to kill his sorrows with wine.
Becoming calm and cautious, he meets Buck. At that time, Buck was not yet a grasshopper, just a big farmer with a lot of arable land. Buck admired the other party's talent very much, and kept drinking the wine to Fio, and it was because he listened to Feo's words that he saved his family property during a lord plunder, and came here to form a group of thieves and occupy the mountain as king. From then on, Buck obeyed Fei O's words, and the entire thief group also regarded Fei as a wise elder because of his low level of education.
Fidel could see that a drunk Faio was his true character. When he was young, Fei O must have offended too many people because of his open-mindedness and empty eyes, and he thought he was talented but didn't know that he was so talented.
Russell didn't comment much, he just asked Fio to drink less.
Fei De suddenly felt a hint of murderous intent. He turned his head to look at the lake, and found Ayana standing not far away, looking at him coldly. Russell really threw a hot potato to himself, but from another point of view, if he can really change Ayana, it may become a powerful combat force.
