Whether it is an innate difference between the same species, such as the strength of the body or the dullness of the mind, or the change that is acquired through hard work, these differences are more or less affecting the differences between people and creating the diversity of the group.

The difference in strength may have been gradually diluted in modern society, because the development of society tends to promote a pluralistic way of thinking. But this contrast still exists, and it is often even more stark when the lives of some weak people are ruthlessly crushed by some "strong people".

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle, which has prevailed among living beings since the beginning of the barbarian era, has often become the norm pursued by some individuals who think they are strong, but they seem to have forgotten one thing - it is often the "fittest" who can survive, not the "strong".

From the primeval past, there have been countless species in the world that are far stronger than all the intelligent beings that are now found all over the world. They were once majestic and thrived on the earth...... But without exception, they have all become fossils buried in the dust.

Even among the many civilizations that exist in the world, humans are known for their fragility, their strength in power is not as strong as that of Gulinius, and their ability to cast spells is not even comparable to that of many peoples represented by demons, but humans are the people who own the most land.

It is not that a species is weak and cannot survive, and now every species on this planet has survived for a long time. Their bodies have undergone various evolutions to adapt to their environment, and these changes have allowed them to continue to this day.

The same is true for humans. They are united by the weakness of the individual, and then they have the organization of society because of the division of labor and cooperation. If a person is too weak to fight, then entrust the duty of fighting to someone who has the ability. Then take on what you can do.

There are some things that cannot be done by one person, especially professional acts - combat, medical care, knowledge - and groups are often more efficient than individuals.

Although collective cooperation is an option for the Human Fair, there are times when seemingly reasonable cooperation may not be possible. Sometimes it's a clash of ideologies, sometimes it's just a price difference – for example, now, another cooperative negotiation has broken down.

"I'm sorry to tell you. Although I sympathize with your plight, I must refuse this commission. Curt tried to keep his tone as gentle as he could, "Although we mercenaries claim to 'have money to serve you'. But your mention is violated. ”

It was still the Leinster family, and after a simple funeral in the suburbs, the boy was taken back to the gloomy house by Curt. The boy who had been tied up by Liqi's shadow tentacles was now a free man, but his face was much uglier than it had been then.

Curt could tell. The vengeance against the black-robed mage had almost completely overshadowed the young man's eyes. Some of the civilians he killed were probably important to the boy. What was once hostile to Lizzie is now full of sludge.

Curt wouldn't say anything to make him give up revenge, and for a boy who already had almost nothing, he lost the remaining qiē in just a few days. If it weren't for the vengeance against the sorcerer that sustained him, it wouldn't have been surprising that the boy would have done anything.

But even if the fire of revenge burned in his heart, it couldn't change the fact that he couldn't do anything. Aside from running a little faster, he may be no different from a normal person, and Lizzie doesn't have the talent to become a sorcerer in him - with his abilities, there is no way to get revenge at the moment.

At his current level. It's too late to evade the other party's possible pursuit, so how can there be any strength to retaliate. Even if you really rush to the other party regardless of a qiē. The most likely outcome is also a charred corpse by the guy who uses fire spells.

That's right, even if that sorcerer has a powerful spell-casting ability, he is still a human being after all. There are thousands of ways to kill a person, but the boy obviously has no way to do any of them - whether it is financial or ability, he does not have enough conditions now.

But just because he couldn't do it didn't mean that others couldn't do it—at least there was one of the people he knew who could suppress the black-robed magician. So he approached Curt after the funeral and wanted to buy Curt's power and let Curt assist him in his revenge.

"Why? You have that ability!" the boy couldn't understand Curt's answer, and he slammed up from his chair and roared, "Aren't you doing anything for money, or is the price I offered not enough to buy your sword?"

"Sword Sellers"...... Some call them that way, and don't even respect them as warriors. They seem to have forgotten that there have been people who have made combat a profession since the beginning of recorded history, and most of them are actually more skilled in fighting than soldiers.

In most people's minds, a mercenary is an armed man who sells his life for money, and as long as you pay enough, the sword in the mercenary's hand will swing for you. They don't care what they're fighting for, they don't care about the honor of fighting, they only see the money paid by their employer and their employer.

Therefore, he was so angry that his face was red and his ears were red, and his immature face was distorted, and the spit from his mouth almost flew into Curt's face. Regardless of the conditions he proposed, at least in terms of momentum, he seemed quite serious, and it didn't matter if he sacrificed himself to achieve his goal.

If the demons in the story who fulfill their wishes at the cost of their souls really exist, then this young man will not hesitate to give his soul. But it's a pity that a story is a story after all, and there is no convenient transaction in reality, so he can probably only hope for more powerful foreign aid.

"If you don't want to talk properly, you can leave now. Liqi, who was sitting on the side, took a sip of the teacup and said coldly, the chill revealed in her tone made people feel like they were in an ice cave, "Whether it's a request or a transaction, your attitude doesn't make people feel the slightest sincerity." ”

Lizzie's cold words were like a basin of cold water on the angry boy's head, and he froze for a moment like a bird hit by a slingshot, and then returned to the whole point weakly.

The boy's head was already not very bright, but now he was even more carried away by anger and sadness, and he couldn't even figure out the most basic communication methods. On the contrary, Lizzie showed no interest in his expressions of anger, still staring at the boy with cold eyes.

The young man muttered dejectedly, and sat in his chair as if all the strength of his body had been squeezed out of his body. Entrusting Curt with his aid in revenge was the most effective means he could think of right now, and if that didn't work, all he would see was darkness.

Curt patted Lizzie on the shoulder, signaling her not to continue to lash out at the boy: "Actually, the terms you made have no real meaning for us, but they are not the fundamental reason why I should refuse this commission. You may not know, but Imperial law explicitly prohibits private revenge - even if the other party is indeed guilty, it is the garrison that is in charge, and mercenaries do not have this power. ”

We're law-abiding citizens of the Empire, and we won't do blatant lawlessness - Curt reiterates his code of conduct, as if he had long forgotten about his attempts to allow Lizzie to use violence to get information out of the boy's mouth.

If mercenaries could kill the citizens of the Empire at will because of their commission, then the laws of the Empire would be broken. Especially in the Catrices, the mercenaries were now a vigilante organization that provided assistance to citizens under the control of the government, and it was even less likely that they would violate the provisions of imperial law.

The mercenary is not a messenger of justice, but a hired force - a "force" that must be controlled by certain laws, or else it will inevitably become a great element of instability. Uncontrolled forces are more dangerous than the enemy, because these are hidden dangers under the nose.

"Seriously, if you just want to hire me to help you catch that magician, I can still help you make a discount because it is related to the task you are currently on......" Curt sighed obviously, the boy's request was not so simple, "But I can't take it as a mercenary to buy murder." ”

You need to go to the sweeper, those are the experts - he didn't say that. After all, the money needed to hire a professional killer who can kill a high-level mage is not as good as this teenager may not be able to make up for a lifetime, and it is more likely that the result is that the mage will be dealt with by the garrison before he can scrape together enough money.

What can teenagers do if they only think about the legitimate way to earn money?

His emaciated limbs seemed too much to do heavy work, at least not in the sweatshops, and his background was not good enough to work as a servant in some middle-class household, and his employer might have to worry about running out of things in his own home.

Useless -- this is the truest portrayal of a teenager.

Listening to Curt's words, the young man's face gradually turned pale, at first a little bloody, and finally almost as pale as a dead man. Strength may not be able to solve a qiē, but he is powerless, and he doesn't even have a chance to take revenge on the guy who ruined his life.

"If you can't accept this commission...... So let's just change the way and make a deal. ”

The boy bit his lower lip tightly, and a trace of sorrow came out of his thirsty throat...... It was almost begging, and his body was still trembling slightly. (To be continued!)
