Here it is. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mary raised her head and looked through the crack in the rock to the cave not far below, which did not look unusual, as if it were just an ordinary beast's habitation, the entrance of the cave was overgrown with weeds, and in this desolate wilderness, it seemed so inconspicuous, but for Mary, it was not.

The mercenary girl lowered her head, took out a map from her arms, and then carefully checked the direction and nodded.

After returning to the headquarters of the mercenary union, Mary has been carrying out the task given to her by Yuren, she began to investigate in detail about the relationship between the Blue Feather Mercenary Group and those mysterious people, and about the report of the head of the group, Mary also learned most of the content from acquaintances, in fact, it was the same as Mary thought, the head of the branch took all the responsibility on himself, admitting that he saw the money and was not able to resist the temptation of the other party, and finally took the task. And because he was worried that he would be scolded by the headquarters, coupled with a misjudgment of the strength of the Knights of the End, he mistakenly thought that he and others had enough ability to complete the commission, so he made this decision. And now that the situation has been revealed, then for the honor of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment, he is willing to accept the punishment and make amends to the Knights of the End. As for the origin of those entrusters, the head of the sub-group said that they didn't know, but they took over the task because the other party had a lot of money, and those people came and went without a trace, and they were unpredictable, so until now they didn't know who these people were.

Mary was skeptical of the testimony of the head of the group, believing that it was possible that the head of the group did not know who these guys really were, and in fact, since the other party had the courage to go against the Knights of the End, he would definitely not tell his true identity to anyone who might leak it just in case. The mercenary group and those people are only in a mercenary relationship, although it is said that the mercenary's trustworthy honor is a virtue, but this is not an explicit rule after all, and it is naturally impossible for the other party to tell such a confidential matter.

But to say that the head of the sub-regiment did not know where these people were, Mary did not believe it. And with her unremitting efforts, the mercenary girl still found a piece of information. The contact location of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group and those mysterious people marked above, and this is the place they agreed upon, according to the information Mary got from that information, this should be regarded as regular contact——— but in this way, it makes the mercenary girl even more uneasy, you know, the sub-group of the mercenary group is usually very busy, not only to move around, but also to change the itinerary due to emergencies There are also many things. In this case, it is very difficult to contact the other party at a fixed time. Among the mercenary groups, the only one that can do this is the headquarters.

Could it be that the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment is really connected to these mysterious guys?

Mary bit her lip, she poked her head out, looked around, saw that there was no figure, then she turned over and fell from the cliff, silently landed on the ground in front of the cave, then, she looked vigilantly into the cave, after finding nothing unusual, the girl turned around, gently picked up the weeds that had been overwhelmed by her own jump, and then she fell backwards into the cave.

It was spring season, but it was unusually cold in the cave, Mary bit her lip and pressed against the wall, cautiously moving inward, watching the situation inside the cave vigilantly, while putting her ear to the wall of the cave, listening to the movement inside. What made Mary a little strange was that through the cave wall she heard a very regular, muffled crashing sound, what was it? Mary had no clue about it.

And just as she was turning the corner, Mary suddenly heard the sound of conversation and footsteps approaching in front of her, and it was obvious that someone was walking this way!

Sensing this, the mercenary girl looked around in panic, and then Mary soon noticed that there was a small hole not far above her head, and she did not hesitate any longer, but immediately jumped into it, and then slipped into it. It was too late, but just as Mary had entered the hole, a bright light shone through, and two tall figures appeared. Thankfully, they didn't seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, and were still talking in a low voice.

"Holy grace above, I can't believe that those bastards would dare to do this to our boss. ”

Hearing this voice, Mary frowned, she knew this voice, this was the member of the Blue Feather Mercenary Group Association, he was responsible for serving as the leader's bodyguard, and also served as a swordsmanship teacher, Mary had been guided by him when she was young. And now, he will actually appear here?

"I'm feeling bad, Sachs. ”

The man continued.

"I'm not afraid of the Knights of the End, I just feel a little weird about these bastards who came from somewhere, and frankly, I always feel like they don't look like humans, well, at least half of them don't look like humans. I want to vomit when I look at them, as if I see something and want to pretend to be sincere. ”

"Alright, Lofa. ”

At this moment, another man's voice rang out.

"It's our job, but we're not here to talk to them, just keep your mouth shut and do our job. ”

"But I just don't think it's right, you look at the way these bastards look like they're clearly trying to drag us into the water! I don't believe the president can't see this clearly! But he didn't refuse to continue to cooperate with them? Compared to these guys who make people feel itchy on their skin, I'd rather deal with the Knights of the End!"

"Alright, shut up!"

The other man was visibly angry.

"Don't let those guys hear, this isn't our territory! Don't get us in trouble, okay, now let's go out and take a walk around to prevent rats from sneaking in, and get rid of our anger by the way, understand? When we come back, we'll let the regiment leader see our normal side, not like this!"

"Okay, I understand, I understand. ”

The big man waved his hand.

"I know, I know, I'll do it, but these guys aren't going to allow us to run around here......... Alright, let's go. ”

The conversation between the two came to an end, and soon, the light of the fire faded away, and Mary, who was huddled in the small hole, breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment she was not in the mood to imagine what was going to happen next, because the girl's brain was completely stunned by what she had just heard.

Of course she knew who the two people were talking about, the leader of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment ——— the real leader, and the Holy Grace was on top! Although Mary guessed that there must be someone in the Blue Feather Mercenary Group who was in contact with these mysterious people, she couldn't imagine that it would be the head of the group himself?! How long had it been since he had interfered in the affairs of the union?

Thinking of this, Mary shook her head, and at this moment, suddenly a light breeze blew behind the girl, making Mary shiver, she hurriedly turned around desperately, for fear of encountering some danger——— but in front of Mary, there was nothing but darkness.

But, with the faint sound of the wind, Mary faintly heard a few muffled conversations.

Someone talking?

Thinking of this, Mary hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and quietly crawled inside.

The hole is getting deeper and narrower, and at first it can barely accommodate a person to turn around, but now, even moving forward is very difficult, the girl has unloaded all the equipment on her body, just biting a dagger in her mouth, wearing a thin leather armor and crawling inward, and with her advance, the sound of conversation, which was originally a little indistinct, has begun to become intermittent and clear at this moment.

“......... Right now............ Situation ............"

"You......... Trading ..............."

"The ............ of the date No...... Changing ........."

And at this moment, Mary also reached the end of the passage, to the girl's surprise, there was not a dead end, but on the contrary, in front of Mary, a frame made of metal, on which were turned into long pages, like a fence to block the invasion from outside. Mary reached out and touched it, and the touch felt cold and smooth, as if she had touched armor. But what exactly is this thing? Why is it here?

With this question in mind, Mary reached out and took the dagger from her mouth, and then, she carefully inserted the dagger into the slit and slowly began to shake. With her movements, the metal plate that had been tightly attached to it began to shake, and finally let go with a "snap" after a while, and Mary hurriedly reached out to hold it to prevent the metal plate from falling down and making a sound, she carefully laid it down, and then crawled back inside.

"This ...... What the hell is it?"

After climbing into the entrance of the passage, Mary's first reaction was unparalleled surprise, and she stared blankly at the half-human-tall metal passage in front of her, completely unable to imagine what it was. Luckily, at least the metal passage was much better than the previous cave, and Mary didn't have to worry about getting hung by anything. But most importantly, even after Mary climbed into the passage, the previous staccato conversation became completely clear.

"There's not much time we can give you. ”

It was a voice that Mary had never heard before, no, it could even be said that Mary had hardly heard anyone capable of making such a mechanical, emotionless, smooth sound like a stone. It made her feel very uncomfortable, and although she hadn't seen who was speaking, Mary had decided that it was definitely not normal.

"We're working on it. ”

At this moment, an old voice sounded. This voice was all too familiar to Mary, it was the voice of Mosed, the leader of the Blue Feather Mercenary Regiment.

"At the moment, the Knights of the End are staring us to death, I have to say, what you are doing is too lacking in thought! The Knights of the End are not the kind of characters to bully, do you think they will be caught off guard because of a Sith Empire? You are too rash!"

Although the old man's voice was not loud, the anger in it made even Mary who was outside couldn't help but tremble, after all, it was not the first time she had heard the old leader's roar, and in fact, in Mary's memory, whenever this time was the time when the old head was the most angry.

"And now? I might have to sacrifice my men, my team, because of your demands! Damn! I wouldn't have agreed to your commission if I had known that! Now it's all messed up! Are you satisfied? I want to solemnly state that I plan to quit! You go find someone else, by the way, you can go to the Sith Empire! I promise they'll give you a proper answer, aren't those guys fighting the Knights of the End? Why don't you go to them for help?"

"Now is not the time. ”

Although facing the anger of the old leader, the other party still spoke unhurriedly.

"There are also our enemies over there, so we don't plan to contact them, we still build our expectations on you, and don't forget, twenty-five years ago, you should have died on the battlefield, who saved you and gave you a new life?"

"New life?"

The old head snorted coldly.

"Look at me now, I'm more like a walking corpse!!"

As the two spoke, Mary had crept closer, clinging to the edge of the metal tunnel and peeking down the gap, before Mary's eyes widened in surprise. If she hadn't covered her mouth for the first time, I'm afraid that the mercenary girl would have been unable to suppress it and might have screamed now.

Not far from her eyes, the old head of the regiment was sitting on a chair, with an angry face, his face was still full of vitality, and his expression was still so threatening, but what was frightening was that the left part of the old regiment leader sitting on the chair at this moment was opened!

What is it?

Mary covered her mouth, her body trembling, her brain went blank, only her ears were still instinctively receiving messages from the two.

"But there's no denying that you've gotten good out of it, Captain. You have survived to this point because of its blessings, and if you still wish to be able to fulfill your wishes, I hope that you will still be able to cooperate with us, and we will bring you a brave new world, and believe me, Elder Regiment, it will all become a reality in the near future. ”

And standing in front of the old head was a man wrapped in a cloak and wearing a mask. I couldn't see his expression, but I could tell from his voice that he was very confident.

"And rest assured, what we need you to do next, is not to provoke the Knights of the End, I've been informed that they're in a bit of trouble, and this is the right time for us. ”

“............... What do you want to do?"

"I want you to be able to find a city. ”

The man waved his hand.

"It exists somewhere on this continent, and we need it to break the seal and return to this world. You don't have to worry about not finding that city, because that city is very special, as soon as you look at it, you will immediately know that it is what we are looking for——— right, I want to keep this matter extremely secret, especially not to let the people of the Knights of the Last Empire know, and of course, not to let the people of the Sith Empire know about it. ”

“.................. That's it?"

"That's it. ”

"Then, you should always tell us the specific direction, the continent is so big, where do you want us to find it?"

"I don't know, Captain. We've been here for decades, but we haven't been able to find the city, but I'm sure you should have a better way. Besides, I'm not asking you to look for it aimlessly, in fact, I have some clues. ”

Saying this, the man stopped, and then laughed coldly.

"Of course, I'll explain the specific things to you later, and before then, I'll deal with another thing........."

As he spoke, the man suddenly raised his right hand, and Mary was surprised to find that there was a metal pipe on the man's right hand, and it was pointing in Mary's direction.

"Oops?!"

Although she didn't know if the other party had discovered her existence, Mary was surprised and immediately instinctively wanted to pull back, and at this moment, the man's fingers moved slightly.

"Phew!!"

With a dull sound, the mercenary girl stopped moving, her strength seemed to disappear completely with the dull sound, and then, feeling a tingling and burning pain in her chest, Mary lowered her head.

And in his chest, at this moment, blood is slowly oozing out.

"Ah...... Ah.........h

Her heart had stopped, her breathing had become harder, and Mary opened her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound. She stared blankly ahead, but there, it was already a blur, the girl could no longer see the scene in front of her, her brain was completely blank, she only instinctively opened and closed her mouth, and the will to survive was still forcibly supporting her. But that's all it takes.

Lord Yuren......... This is the only impression left in the girl's last consciousness.

Then, Mary fell like a puppet with a broken string, and at that moment, her earrings suddenly emitted a white and flawless brilliance, and then the mercenary girl's body was enveloped in this white light and disappeared.
