Destiny Thief

Chapter 166 Artifacts
But old Hugo never said anything more.

Victor walked outside, and then he saw Monica in front of the station's door—the vampire lord disguised as a human woman, looking extremely bright and charming.The dim moonlit night could not hide her beauty at all.

"I am coming."

Monica peeked out from the hood of her cloak—she looked at the man in front of her, and smiled.

This smile made Victor forget Old Hugo's advice. He became restless again, suddenly took a step forward, grabbed a white and smooth hand in his sleeve - and squeezed it too much.

The bastard?
Monica was secretly a little sullen, but she didn't show any emotion. The man took her hand and walked straight into the house. He said as he walked, "Monica, I knew you would come looking for me." Me. Well, now it is time to join the 'Song of Ashes'. But the time is too late, and those procedures have to be done tomorrow."

Victor dragged Monica into the inner room together. The mercenaries were startled when they saw a lady coming, and then hurriedly began to arrange their appearance - when they were just drinking, most of them took off their shirts , This came in a hurry, and several people buttoned the buttons wrongly.Seeing this scene, Monica couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling.

"Cough—this is Miss Monica. From now on, she has become a member of our mercenary group."

Although the team leader Heinrich is not present at the moment, as the captain of the first brigade of "Song of Ashes", Victor still has the independent right to accept new members.He looked at the group of people in the room, including members of the first brigade under him, as well as members of the second and third brigades. As one of the core figures in the mercenary group, he coughed and reminded, Monica, who was next to me, introduced me here.

Of course, some of the mercenaries who had seen Monica in the tavern almost couldn't hold back their laughter—they knew how much the captain thought about it.In the past, "Song of Ashes" was an existence that Afron's mercenaries desperately wanted to join, and even if the application for joining was approved, they still had to go through a long series of strength assessments before they could become an official member. As soon as this lady came here, she was given special treatment.

This kind of special treatment is usually given to powerful famous people or senior core members. In the tavern, Monica showed such a small hand, but this is not enough to accurately evaluate her strength, and the introduction ?In the years since "Song of Ashes" was created, there are all people with backgrounds.For example, Biden, the captain of the third brigade, had already become an officer during the sixth Eta war, but he chose to retire and join the "Song of Ashes" because of his ordinary civilian background and could not be promoted. .

As for the other referees, the mercenary remembered that most of them were relatives of the core members of the regiment.

Does this young lady named "Monica" have any unusual relationship with Captain Victor?
Victor is of typical Aiferian descent, and the lady in front of him, although she has breathtaking charm, seems a bit weird in terms of physical characteristics - she is not like any ethnic group in the kingdom: Her eyeballs are red; her hair is an extremely rare pure black, that color reminds people of the ink used to write characters, and is even purer than ink; she also has a high curl Nose and sunken eye sockets.Looking at the facial features alone, there is nothing outstanding, but the combination of this face, every frown and smile is fascinating.

A charming lady!

The mercenaries felt that they were not breathing, but such a young lady unexpectedly appeared beside Victor, holding hands, which caused many speculations.

"This is the new Miss Monica."

Seeing his colleagues stunned on the spot, Victor was secretly proud of his vision, and he introduced again——the clever young man under him finally reacted:
"Mo... Miss Monica, you... hello, my name is Todd, welcome to the 'Song of Ashes'."

He stretched out his hand, ready to shake hands with the lady, but the hand he stretched out turned out to be his left hand—although the mercenaries were not particular about the details of the handshake, Victor was holding Mo Ni now. Card's right hand, the captain seemed to still be obsessed with the slippery softness of the little hand, and he gave Todd a vicious look.

Todd's hand quickly retracted.

The other mercenaries quickly reacted, and words like "Welcome..." were heard endlessly.

"These guys, don't look stupid, they are actually very enthusiastic. When you come here, if you need help with anything, just tell them." Victor paused, "You can also Come to me. By the way, where's Betty?"

He asked the last sentence to the mercenaries present - Betty was the only female mercenary in the first brigade, although most of the time she behaved no differently from other men.But this time Miss Monica joins as a newcomer, it is more appropriate to be guided and accompanied by someone of the same sex - Victor understands the rules in the mercenary group, although he has a good impression of Monica, but there are some things that he can't express Take it too far.

"Betty? She went to see Captain Biden."

"In today's battle, Captain Biden was also injured. It is said that the enemy slashed his back with a knife, and the armor was split into two halves."

Several mercenaries who participated in the battle said.They recalled the scene - the whole armor was wet with bright red blood.After taking off the armor, the injured part had a paleness that lost its blood color, and the skin was split open, revealing a deep and large gash. Under the red muscles, white bones could be vaguely seen.Although injuries are commonplace for mercenaries, such a serious injury still makes them feel lingering fear.

"Is the kid injured? I'll go and see him."

"The leader and Captain Biden seem to be still in the church."

After hearing what his colleagues said, Victor finally realized the brutality of today's battle. He almost wanted to rush to the Holy Radiance Church in an instant—he glanced at Monica beside him, and asked softly:

"Are you with me? Monica. Both the leader and the deputy leader are there."

church?

Upon hearing this name, the vampire lord Monica felt a little nervous—as Dill's deceased, no matter how she went there, she felt like falling into a trap.Although she learned from the information that the strongest clergyman in the church in Afron is only at the middle level of awakening, but if she enters the church and faces those magic circles and restrictions, she knows very well that even if her strength exceeds There are a lot of those magic sticks, but they still can't take any advantage, and they are even very dangerous.

So, she decided to refuse.
