"Do you need a Kimpton?" Without skipping words.
Such a sudden sound, especially from behind, immediately made the skinny mercenary roll forward like a frightened rabbit. After entering the shadow of the surrounding gravel, he ran towards the floating bridge non-stop —The situation at the scene, even a child can understand, just experienced a life-and-death battle here, and the situation like a battlefield proved the tragedy.
And in this case, who is the person who still exists here
One of the two sides
Or a third party
or...
Apart from being sure that the other party is not a mercenary who accepted the mission like him, there are too many other possibilities, even including other characteristics of the Qianmao District that may pass by—no matter what it is, the strength of the other party is already there. The proof of his decision; being able to get close behind him without knowing it is the best proof; perhaps for other abilities, this skinny mercenary has no certainty, but looking for traces and being a searcher The most basic perception of traces, but he has a lot of conceit.
At the very least, among the mercenaries in the entire Qianmao District, he was sure that anyone who approached him within about ten yards would kill him, and he only found out after the other party made a sound—then the other party was like this before Standing behind him all the time
Thinking of this possibility, the skinny mercenary shuddered—if this was the case, then his life and death would undoubtedly be in the hands of the other party, and this fear of life and death being out of control was simply worse than his accidental death. The fierce beast he encountered was even stronger; after all, when he faced the fierce beast last time, he was able to escape with certainty, but this time he didn't have any certainty, even if he made the most correct reaction in an instant.
As if to prove the idea of this skinny mercenary, after he made another roll to avoid the attack that might appear behind him, a black shadow blocked the moonlight that should have appeared in front of him—ordinary, in Qiannuma The unusually common outdoor equipment in this area, the Lothar beard with sideburns covered most of his features, and then the sharp cheekbones and piercing eyes fell into the sight of this thin mercenary very clearly.
"You, hello..."
Maintaining the movement at the last moment of the roll—he said with an ugly smile while squatting there.
As a fairly qualified mercenary, this thin mercenary has all the qualities and shortcomings of a mercenary; for example: greedy for life and afraid of death; you never want a mercenary to give you a lofty professional creed; they are conservative The secret is just to get more Gimpo; of course, if your knife is sharp enough, then you will get more.
And now this skinny mercenary is very clear about his situation at this moment; after all, what he is known as the "coward", "coward" and "scavenger" in Qianmao District is best at dealing with life and other disposables. 'Most normal' levels.
"Whatever you want, as long as it is my own arm, Edward: "The thin me will undoubtedly not cause any harm to you! "
"So, what do you think, as long as I know it, I will tell you the truth!" Edward said.
"Don't mercenaries use the so-called secrecy regulations?" Don't skip words. Ye Qi couldn't help but raise his brows when he looked at such an interesting mercenary in front of him, but he didn't intend to waste any more time here with the other party? "
"My lord, as you can see, I am a mercenary; of course I am here for my mission!" Edward, whose life is safe, said truthfully without any tricks; and also answered Ye Qi A question I don't want to know: "Since the mercenary's secrecy regulations were established, no real mercenary has recognized them; after all, we just come here to vulture after smelling the rotten corpse!"
"I don't want to discuss the code of conduct of mercenaries with you; I just want to know your employer and your mission!"
"Of course, of course!" Hearing Ye Qi's rhetorical question, the skinny mercenary immediately said that after the wrong deposit, he asked me to come here tonight to investigate what happened here! "
As if something, the thin mercenary immediately said again that he knew, from the beginning of entrusting the task to getting the deposit; the people I contacted were all my acquaintances! "
"So, can you introduce your acquaintance for me?"
"My lord, of course there is no problem!"
The thin mercenary replied very respectfully.
…
"My lord, you look like a mercenary in such a dress!"
Ye Qi, who had returned to the market, sat in front of a closed wooden house located in the main 'building complex', and the thin mercenary beside him said very carefully - the wooden house behind the two was not hired by Qianmao District. It is not a gathering place for soldiers, but a 'shop'; although this shop is just a simple wooden house, when most people are still trading by setting up stalls, this wooden house has already shown its Extraordinary; just like the prosperous shops on the commercial street and the street stalls on the night market.
"Your acquaintance has a good position here!"
Ye Qi, who 'shaved off his beard' and tried his best to look rude, looked at the wooden house behind him and said in surprise—although the skinny mercenary mentioned in front of him last night that his acquaintance is a businessman, and has The image of a businessman who does not have his own counter, where a large number of various goods are placed, but the whole person is sitting behind.
And the wooden house in front of him is undoubtedly very different from what he imagined—even though Ye Qi doesn't know the difference between wooden house shops and stall shops in the market, some of them can be deduced very easily ;According to the character of Toka, the person in charge of the market in Qianmao District, the other party was able to obtain such a 'position'; undoubtedly made a huge contribution to the people of Qiannuma District, otherwise no matter how many Kimptons there are, they would not It will make people like Toka, who can be called a 'dead brain' in some respects, let go.
According to this speculation, the owner of the shop in front of him obviously has a pretty good reputation in Qianmao District—as an existence recognized by the people of Qianmao District, Ye Qi can easily feel that after removing the indifference and guard, Behind the mask, the simplicity and loveliness of the people in Qianmao District; they belong to the kind of people who give you one point for them and they will return ten points for you.
Undoubtedly, the owner of the shop behind him seized this "opportunity"—Ye Qi was not sure whether the owner of the shop behind him was the manipulator behind the scenes of the Holy See; after all, according to the other party's arrangement, controlling the middleman was The best way; and what better man than a habitual speculator
"Rud is an acquaintance who is not his own. The thin mercenary said with certainty: "After all, he will choose to help a poor mercenary like me! "
After a few hours of getting along, and receiving a generation of Kimpton skinny mercenaries, he has completely let go of his heart. As time goes by, when this fear fades away, he already understands that the person in front of him will not endanger the other party. powerful.
There is no doubt that the opponent is powerful, but he has a good temper, even the kind of 'gentleman' who has nothing to do with him until the bottom line is touched; it is not the kind of grumpy, like a powder keg, or changes with his mind And the behavior of the 'thugs' who have become extreme - for this, Edward, who has been a mercenary for several years, still has his own vision; In the end, he didn't show that kind of contempt towards him, as if he could crush him to death at will; in Edward's eyes, this strong man who would behave politely even when pressed was definitely a real strong man.
Instead of those who have strength, all those who know his reputation by strength look at him with a "traditional" perspective; and this kind of vision undoubtedly makes Aidehua feel angry, but under the threat of life , choosing the default is the most sensible.
Regarding this, Edward comforted himself from the bottom of his heart—the choice I made was correct, otherwise, I would have died at this moment.
Therefore, Edward, who has always followed the tradition, suddenly met an unconventional person, even though he experienced the initial fear, it still made him feel a little happy—however, Edward obviously didn't want to admit his emotions, even when he was with Ye When Qi talked, he kept talking to himself from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm because of Kimpton! I'm because of Kimpton! Yes, Kimpton!"
The suggestion from the bottom of his heart made the thin mercenary instinctively touch Kimpton in his arms; and when his fingers touched the familiar hard and intoxicating touch, he immediately trembled—he suddenly thought of The purpose of them sitting here at the moment; maybe the big man in front of him has unconventional principles of dealing with things, and he is also an unusual gentleman, but the most important reason is that he is not the enemy of the other party; but his acquaintance Woolen cloth? What will happen
Even though he knows that his old acquaintance's kindness to him is to 'invest' in using him at certain moments; even, the cause of this incident is also because of the other party; but this does not mean that Edward can selectively forget that the other party He may selectively forget about the help-hatred which was the most difficult time for his poor mercenary; but for all the kindness, Edward will definitely remember it clearly.
"Although I know that there are some profit factors in it, but if you can, please spare his life!"
The thin mercenary, after a pause, raised his head abruptly, and said to Ye Qi; while Ye Qi, who had been checking the other party, couldn't help smiling after hearing what the other party said—compared to Edward's response to him. Ye Qi's observation of the other party is more meticulous; even when the other party's mood is obviously unstable and he knows everything, Ye Qi has already figured out the other party's old background.
Although he has passed adolescence, he still has the dream of a teenager; although he has sold all his dignity and glory because of survival; he still keeps his last bottom line—Ye Qi believes that if he were another mercenary, he would definitely He would not say such a thing; even, in order to gain more Kimpton, he would provide him with as detailed information as possible.
Ye Qi was very sure of this; after all, the generation of Kimpton he threw out before was enough as evidence or a test—anyone who is greedy will choose their nature, and in the end they will only Get that bag of Kimptons, and even lose your life because of that bag of Kimptons; but the person who has the final bottom line, even if he has been despised or even humiliated by others, he still has his own dignity and dignity. glory.
At the very least, he will have the right to survive in this world!
Of course, the other party's nostalgia for his former partner is also an important reason why Ye Qi changed his original plan, affirmed his current plan, and returned to the market together with the other party; otherwise, even if the other party behaved like a good person, Ye Qi It is also absolutely impossible to agree to the other party's proposal to lead the way; at most, let the other party tell what you know, and then knock the other party unconscious in a safe place-those who cherish their partners can gain the respect and favor of the demon hunter , this has nothing to do with positions and relationships, but pure nature.
"My lord, I can do things for you! As long as you can let Lude go!" Seeing Ye Qi just smiling but not expressing anything, the skinny mercenary kept saying things; as long as it exists there, I will definitely can find it out for you! "
"Don't worry! According to my estimation, this friend of yours is at best a middleman!" Smiling again at the skinny mercenary, Ye Qi said honestly: "Although he looks down on him a bit, he wants to If you want to become the mastermind behind the scenes, you need at least another hundred years of training!"
"My lord, you are so humorous!"
Ye Qi's words undoubtedly made the skinny mercenary put down his last worries, and he immediately chuckled—no doubt, Edward thought Ye Qi was joking; after all, in Edward's eyes, his acquaintance was still very capable; especially It's that kind of diplomacy that he can't match; and being able to operate normally in Qianmao District without being 'disturbed', he also possesses considerable force.
Although you have the care of the local people in Qianmao District, in the wild, it is not just a trace of local enthusiasm that can make you pass unimpeded in Qianmao District; Edward, as a mercenary, knows very well that other than him After all, mercenaries have their own outsiders, and they are basically desperadoes with such thoughts.
Undoubtedly, such desperadoes only value money and completely ignore other things; especially the "wanted criminal" who has been disliked by ordinary people among the three major characteristics of Qianmao District, is even more so in Qiannuma. The merchants in the district are facing dangers that can be seen or not—as far as Edward knows, the merchants in Qianmao District are more or less paying the so-called 'protection fee'; but only his acquaintance did not Such an encounter; or not without, but rejected.
He very clearly remembered that once his acquaintance was drunk, he pulled him and yelled loudly: "Although I am a prisoner, I have a strong cage; and in this cage, I am safe! "
Although he doesn't understand what is hidden in such poetic words, Edward can be sure that what hole card allows him to run rampant in the Qianmao District-and this kind of rampant behavior is what makes Edward stubbornly believe that he Friends, there is no root cause that is as unbearable as Ye Qi said.
"My lord! That fellow Rude is here!"
The thin mercenary sitting next to Ye Qi said suddenly, and then jumped up straight from the ground, and walked towards the approaching figure in the distance - a fat man twisting his body, carrying a small The suitcase came with a slightly staggering pace; and after a few steps, this person would stop and wipe the sweat on his forehead, revealing his red nose; He greeted this slightly fat man with a smile, and he returned the greetings one by one.
