Chapter 118: Contradictions between the North and the South

"I see," Roy's eyes showed admiration, "you know, I met the devil's eye as the whipper struck me in the chest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"And then?" said Payne.

Roy recounted what had happened, and Payne was relieved, "By the way, why did you shake your head again?"

"I thought I would give everything for her, but I soon found out that I didn't seem to have that power without your permission," Roy said in all seriousness.

Hey, this sycophant is really a bit level, Payne thought.

"Have you ever thought about becoming a demon hunter?" Payne said, "I mean, the intention of becoming a truly powerful one. ā€

"Of course," Roy affirmed, "I don't want to be a drag on you. ā€

Roy's expression suddenly became serious, "Actually, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, I owe you only with my life, but I messed things up." If it weren't for me last time, you wouldn't have rushed at the Flogger, and you wouldn't have nearly lost your life. ā€

Payne was a little surprised, he was really surprised that these words could come out of Roy's mouth, although he had always thought that Roy just looked more silly, but when Roy said these words, he really realized that he still underestimated him.

"It's not your fault, Roy," Payne wanted to say, even if you weren't threatened with your life, I'd still rush in, it's just a matter of time.

"Of course it's my fault," Roy looked at the clearing beyond the gap, "I know you have the power of the gods. ā€

Payne was stunned.

Roy didn't pause, "But even so, you're still giving the most of us." I saw that you slept late at night and would get up at dawn, and at first I didn't know why you did that, but you were already favored by the gods. But I understand now," Roy looked back into Payne's eyes, "the gods only give guidance to her most devout and faithful people, as you told me a long time ago, but I don't understand the meaning of the words,--hopefully it's not too late." ā€

I'm dizzy, are you sure you understand?" Penn thought, but that's fine, but there are some things that it's time to explain.

After about ten minutes, Payne gave a general account of the Awakened.

"If you don't want to take risks for this, I won't force you," Payne said calmly, "You are different from me, you and Connie, you can choose to live this life peacefully, so whatever choice you make, it is a matter of course, there is no need to force it, and there is no need to care about what I think." ā€

"You know, Payne, I swore to follow me when you took me in," Roy grinned, "So, where you are, I'll be there." ā€

Payne was a little moved, he knew that Roy would not be happy with the twists and turns, and he also knew that Roy was the only one who would carry out his orders without thinking, which was why Payne would risk his life to save Roy, and it was also the reason why he distinguished Roy from Hawke.

Even after Johnny saved him, the former was still not as important to Roy as in his mind, especially after learning that Roy was the Unawakened.

"What's your plan?" Roy asked, "I know you always like to make plans. ā€

"Uh, well, I do have a plan," Roy guessed that his mind felt a little weird, but he did have a plan, "I want to wait until this mission is over, and then I will leave the mercenary,......怂 ā€

Before Payne's plan was finished, he heard footsteps, took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, it turned out that it was time for the changing of the guard, and before he knew it, an hour had passed.

......

Early the next morning.

"Payne, Payne....... ā€

Payne opened his eyes and saw that it was Roy. He glanced at the time, 5:53, and by this time it was already a little brighter.

"It's time for us to go, the chief has asked us to assemble in ten minutes. Roy said.

"Damn, how could I sleep so deeply," Payne had been on high alert since his mission, but this time he found himself sleeping so heavily that he didn't open his eyes until Roy came to wake him up.

The moment he got up, he suddenly noticed that his head was a little dizzy.

Damn, it's not a cold, right?" he thought.

"Roy, get the team doctor, I need some potions. Payne said, rubbing his heavy head.

After pouring two bottles of potion into Payne, the team doctor said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little cold." ā€

"Thank you," Payne said, "I feel better now." ā€

"Call me again if you need to," said the team doctor and left.

"Hmph," Lieutenant Colonel Gaunt happened to pass by and saw this scene, and snorted coldly with disdain, "A little cool breeze can catch the wind cold...... , a moldy southerner. ā€

Of course, this sentence is not simply to ridicule Payne, because Payne is not qualified to make him care, he is targeting Bailey, targeting the Southern Mercenary Group.

This time, the headquarters selected five people to participate in the Awoken trial, three of them from the headquarters, and one from the northern and southern mercenary groups. And Gaunt is from the Northern Mercenary Regiment.

There is a reason why Gaunt looks down on the people in the south, in the battle of divine punishment, the mercenary group in the north who contributed the most and contributed the most, in fact, there is no way, who told them to be next to the fortress?

Of course, in terms of overall strength, the mercenary group in the south is not as good as the north, after all, the mercenaries who can survive the battle of divine punishment must be more than one step higher. But every two years, the number of Awakened Trial places is one in the south and one in the north, which makes him feel comfortable.

In the Northern Mercenary Regiment, there are many people who feel uncomfortable. The Northern Mercenary Regiment is closer than united, and the Northern Mercenary Regiment has protested to the headquarters more than once, demanding that the number of places in the trial be increased.

Of course, the quota of the headquarters cannot be changed, so it can only be filled by canceling the mercenary group in the south. In comparison, the Northern Mercenary Regiment did need more power like the Demon Hunter, but the Headquarters' response to this was silence.

Over time, the contradiction between the mercenary groups of the south and the north naturally arises. And the Southern Mercenary Group also knows that its strength is inferior to others, so in most cases it will choose to swallow its anger.

But what kind of person is Payne, he can suffer this loss.
