Chapter 401: Before Dawn (9)
"Well, then, let us just leave. www.biquge.info To be honest, although I am very unwilling, it is true that even if we stay here, we can't help much. I think it would be the wisest decision to evacuate first. The master, the Viscount, thinks so too. ”
After organizing the evacuation of the mercenaries, Elaine stepped up the staircase that had been in the darkness and was now illuminated by the light of the torches.
"Good work......" nodded stiffly, as if unable to find any good words to respond, Evan hesitated, and only said such a polite word that was neither comforting nor encouraging.
For different people, from enemies to partners, maybe all you need is a promise, a little benefit, some money, some compliments, and of course, there are always people who will not "betray" no matter what. No, even the most firm people should have their weaknesses, which will eventually lead to their "betrayal", right? Moreover, such associations are too sorry for Elaine and them, strictly speaking, how can their behavior be regarded as "betrayal"?
Mercenaries, after all, are different from soldiers.
Different responsibilities?
Evan could clearly feel his own disgust with this way of thinking, but another emotion also told him that such a thought was correct. Because it's right, it's hard to accept.
Then, in the minds of the aristocratic youth, the figure of the culprit who caused his current contradiction appeared.
- Leon, whose theories are always so demagogic.
"Wait a minute! Elaine ...... Ma'am, I actually have a question I've always wanted to ask. While Evan was pondering, Vijay suddenly stepped forward and said to the mercenary, the shy boy bowed deeply, and then, in the most sincere tone he could, said:
"Lord Leon...... Is it in the depths of this cave?"
He was led here in an incomprehensible way, however, there was no real evidence to confirm the location of the Lord. The battle had taken away too much attention, and now, Vijay seemed to be just remembering what the group was setting out for.
"Ahh......h Can you give me some information about this cave, and any other information you have?"
Compared to Vijay's question, Evan's is obviously more organized and comprehensive. In fact, Evan knew from the beginning that he had to get information from mercenaries, but it was simply unrealistic to get information from these people...... This may seem like an afterthought, but Evan was one of the first to have some of these ideas, albeit by chance.
And now, after some incidents, the mercenaries who are nominally Evan subordinates, no, this is limited to Elaine alone, because even if he becomes his own subordinate, it is almost impossible for a "group" of mercenaries to casually reveal the information of the "original employer".
"Hmm...... Although morality tells me that I should not say this, it seems that it is more important to me now than morality to fulfill the obligation to answer......" Elaine said with a beautiful smile that did not hesitate in the slightest, yes, she did not hesitate in any way, at least, on the surface.
Elaine took her gentle gaze away from Evan, her expression instantly cold, she looked at Vijay's eyes that glowed like black jewels, and then saw the concerned look of Loye behind him. The mercenary nodded, and then suddenly spotted Puno investigating something in the passage on the other side of the Rock Hall.
"Well, I think you should understand, it's just us people, but it's just a fact of 'minions'......" Elaine swept aside the contradictions in her thoughts, and it only took a few seconds to gather her thoughts, "If you want to move on...... All I can tell you is that the enemy ahead is much stronger than we are. ”
- Fighting is inevitable. Moreover, the next opponent is no longer a mercenary. No, I guess it's not all mercenaries.
After looking at the changes in the expressions of the few people in front of her, Elaine suppressed the sudden feeling of fear, which was probably caused by two reasons, continued.
"I don't know much about this cave than you do, and to be honest, I was shocked to see the man-made stone steps when I came here, and then I wondered who built these things, and why...... I know that's not the point, but allow me to get my thoughts straightened out again!"
Elaine wasn't just doing a one-sided transfer of information, but at the same time, now that the battle was over, she suddenly felt that she should sort out the situation so far.
"Minions, strong men like you can only be considered minions?" Elian's words surprised Vijay, who herself seemed to be lost in thought and did not respond to Vijay's exclamation.
"Ahh......h
Eyes met several people in turn, and she said with a serious face.
"Sure enough, I thought about it, and the other details can be left out first, those things may only affect your judgment. Well, I'll just say one of the most important things, which is the weirdest thing that strikes me. This mission, let's put it this way, struck me that it was different from the past, that we were just a small group of people, a very small group, who had been selected to come to this cave with the sub-head of the agency...... Here's the weirdest thing! Guess what's the mission we've been told?"
"Don't let anyone into the depths of the cave, right?"
Just as Elaine's words were briefly paused, Vijay suddenly spoke.
- This is important information filtered out of the noisy noise before the melee begins.
With a slightly surprised, but generally expected expression, she glanced at the young man who was not as wooden as she looked, but was actually quite keen, and Elaine was about to speak, but was interrupted by Evan.
"But that's not your real mission, is it?" said Evan with a subtle expression on his face.
“...... Yes, but not really?" and there was no overly unpleasant emotion because the words were interrupted, and Elaine was a little used to the way these two "don't play according to the routine" way of speaking, "Our mission is indeed this, but I personally feel that this is not our 'real mission'...... Well, what should I say, ah, I hate to explain the problem!"
Elaine's appearance of looking up to the sky and scratching her head and complaining made Vijay and the others speechless for a while.
