"I guess I understand, that is, that 'don't let anyone into the depths of the cave' order is just a façade, a cover for some real purpose?"

Royer's words were exchanged for a nod from Elaine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That's right, it's the same as everything before, it's unfounded, but it's intuition! intuition! What is that called......

"A woman's intuition. Vijay almost blurted out. The boy clearly remembered the teachings of the adult, that in this world there are always things that have no reason in mind, but can never doubt their correctness.

One of the most important is "women's intuition".

Sweeping Vijay with a strange gaze, in fact, the young man's unpretentious pure black eyes made Elaine immediately look away, such an innocent gaze is the most terrifying "weapon" for people.

She knew it perfectly.

"Okay, that's about it, that's all the information I can come up with, I'm going back to the surface. Releasing the hand that had grasped Royer's palm, the mercenary felt a cocoon no thinner than her own, and Elaine stepped one foot on the stairs under the girl's friendly gaze, but soon she turned back again.

"I almost forgot, it's something I have to tell you......" Sensing the surprise on the noble young man's face turning into helplessness, the corners of Elaine's mouth hooked up a charming smile, "After all, I'm already a subordinate of Lord Viscount, so I can only be sorry for the previous 'companions'~"

Ambiguously uttered such a sentence, and Elaine withdrew the expression that was clearly arrogant but actually coquettish.

"If you want to move forward, the battle is inevitable...... Just like when we were with the rest of us. However, the difference is that in the depths of this cavern, there are far more ...... 'enemies' than our 'minions'. ”

The emotions in her eyes were uneasiness, and worry.

"You are indeed very strong, the young man is very strong, the viscount is very strong, and the soldiers over there are not ordinary soldiers, it seems to be Puno......, right?

Moved his gaze from the distance, who was kneeling and groping for something, to the girl who had given herself too many "accidents".

"Little maid girl, you are even stronger, terrifyingly strong, so strong that I can't understand it at all, huh...... Although it is very unwilling, it is the truth. As if she hadn't fully recovered from her previous frustration, the mercenary's brow was still somewhat gloomy, but it was quickly replaced by deeper worry.

"You are indeed very strong, but even this strength may not guarantee that you will be able to win in the battle in the future......" Looking at the expressions of the three people in front of him who had not changed, Elaine couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

- I wish my worries were unfounded.

"You don't seem to be worried about that, sorry, but I'm also underestimating your will. If you have a reason to advance, what if the enemy is strong, but if it's just to reassure me, let me tell you everything I know. ”

"Intelligence about the 'enemy'—"

She said so.

......

......

......

Walking alone on the spiral staircase, despite the darkness around her, it didn't stop Elaine in the slightest.

"It should ...... I have already reached it exactly. ”

She thought so.

For Evan, the boy, the maid girl, and even the soldier with "prejudice", there is no doubt that as an opponent, she respects them - they all have their own 'charm', or 'attraction'. As a companion, the word was a bit too heavy for the mercenary, and as a companion, she couldn't help but show her concern for a few people.

- The enemy is unexpectedly strong. The enemies they are going to face, if they keep going.

First of all, Javley, the cold and cruel man who took everything he once had. As a mercenary, the man was undoubtedly perfect, there was absolutely no task he wouldn't accept, and there had never been a mission he had failed to complete...... That man is the best embodiment of the warlord's guild's distorted values!

"Failure equals death. ”

It's horrible.

The weak thoughts in my mind were dispelled, and the nightmare of that day reappeared in front of me. When the reputation of the Warlord Guild rose in this northwestern land, few people noticed the "weak" mercenary guilds that gradually disappeared. The rise of the Warlords was based on the brutal annexation of countless small guilds, and the forced absorption of all the members of those guilds was the reason for the Warlords' growing strength. And for such an act that destroys the original order of the mercenary world, everyone is not without resistance, the fact is that all the rebels are like weeds, and they have no power to resist at all.

There was resistance, and among them, it was the "blue wolf" led by Elaine, who was still an adult at the time, but had already been sharp, who led everyone to resist the atrocities of the Warlord Guild.

Then, it was this man who appeared in front of Elaine.

Only, he's alone.

A simple saber and a dagger that could be crafted in any blacksmith's shop, the man played a music of blood and fire with only two weapons.

The result of a pair of fifty was that the man did not suffer any decent injuries at all, and on his own side, except for Elaine, the rest of the forty-nine people were all killed cleanly and neatly.

"I don't like to kill women and children, and you just take both, so I'll spare you your life. ”

The ruthless mercenary left these words, dropped the blood-stained saber and dagger in his hand, and left.

On that day, the howl of the blue wolf resounded throughout the northwest grassland.

And after that day, the Warlord Guild undoubtedly became the "master" of the mercenary world in the northwest, and this word is not used too much here. After that day, there was no more mercenary in Northwater who dared to defy the authority of the marquis.

Later, having lost her partner and family, the guild was her home, Elaine, who had faith and all her spirit, joined the Warlord Guild and became one of those ordinary mercenaries.

The encounter with Javley changed her completely.

"It's too strong...... Overwhelming ......" the mercenary slowed her pace and muttered to herself. Elaine shuddered every time she thought back to that night, but the only thing she could comfort herself in talking about was:

Time is fair.
