Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology
Chapter 62: The Mercenary Association was bloodbathed, and President Daphne escaped
On the forest path back to the castle, the two held hands and walked with light and graceful steps. Tan Aili sang songs happily like a lark.
The love lyrics written by the romantic poet Sarion are particularly dynamic in her interpretation.
The lyrics of "Addicted to Love" are as follows:
I have no other wish except to love you
A storm filled the valley
A fish fills the river
I made you as big as my loneliness
The whole world is there for us to hide
Day and night so that we can understand each other
In order to see nothing else in your eyes
I only see my imagination of you
I only see the world in your image
And the days and nights controlled by your eyes...
~~
This was the happiest day of her life. Kashen, this handsome boy, was like a gift from God and opened Tan Aili's heart.
The future is infinitely bright, and I long to enter the palace of marriage and protect this hard-earned love...
Kashin is ignorant and hopes that this is love. If he has to get married to protect his love, he can agree to it immediately. Now that he has love, how far is freedom?
It is said that tonight, a group of elite assassins of unknown origin attacked the Shadowmoon City Mercenary Guild. Because of the sudden attack, the guild was unprepared. Since ancient times, no one has attacked the Mercenary Guild except rebels.
The president, Daphne, was at work, so she led all the armed forces to launch a fierce resistance. Daphne was the best fighter, killing a large number of assassins and escaping unscathed, her whereabouts unknown.
The association suffered heavy financial losses, and this has nothing to do with Daphne. She can't just die like this, otherwise there would be no evidence, which would be the biggest loss to the association.
At this moment, she was hiding in the city's sewers, her body covered with scars. She was using medicine to heal her wounds with difficulty, hiding herself temporarily to see the situation clearly.
She is the only one left, and as long as she doesn't die, these assassins will kill her sooner or later, so she needs to stay calm instead of acting recklessly.
These elite assassins took away all the property of the guild and fled without any intention of occupying the place. Ordinary people in the many living facilities of the association were killed, and it became a gloomy and terrifying building.
Daphne was on the run, but they had set up a tight net for her, and as soon as she showed up, she would be brought to justice.
It is fine to regard this as revenge by the church. But without evidence, we cannot say that it was done by the church. At the moment, information is not flowing well, so it is difficult for the news to spread.
The next day, Tan Aili was shocked to learn that the Mercenary Association had been destroyed, and she soon found out what had happened. She naturally thought that President Daphne had met with an accident, and she was very sad.
It was so hard to have this ally to protect me, but as for how the rest of the things would end, the other party acted very decisively. I could only wait and see how the church would force me next.
The feud here has already been formed, and any kind of conflict is possible, it is just a matter of time.
Tan Aili was afraid that there were people sent by the church to monitor her home, so she pretended to be calm. After all, she only had an employment relationship with the Mercenary Association, so she couldn't be too affected.
To predict the other party's means is to block the news. Anyone who leaves the city in the future will not be able to go far and will be killed. There will be no survivors, so don't act rashly.
Tan Aili worked in the castle as usual and paid little attention to the major events of the Mercenary Association, except that the plan of recruiting talents from outside had fallen through.
Now she had limited manpower to support a few business operations and promote some apprentices, so she was stretched to the limit. The church was ruining her good deeds, and she had to remember this.
During the day, Kashin and Grandpa Nick are either doing their daily training or analyzing texts. The scriptures on the intermediate breathing method need to be carefully dissected.
The breathing method of the Mercenary Association is a high-quality thing. You should know that it is not easy to obtain it. You have to accumulate a lot of merits. This mission was given to them due to the situation.
Grandpa Nick was very happy. They had experience in studying the mental method, and they would definitely be able to thoroughly understand and improve this breathing method.
They were immersed in the joy of studying martial arts, practicing breathing techniques and meditation at the same time. At night, they would also "study" love. Kashin was very happy every day.
The old man was very satisfied with the result. This girl was just like his own granddaughter. Her filial piety was rare. She lost her only relative in the world. The old man had no other relatives except Kashin. From then on, the three of them relied on each other to feel the warmth of home.
Old people like Grandpa Nick know the value of "home", so they are happy to see Kashen and Tan Aili be together and make this family prosperous.
Sewer
Daphne's injuries had improved slightly at this moment, but she had already lost too much blood in the ten-hour bloody battle that night, which had drained away all her strength. She felt limp and powerless, like a candle in the wind.
The spies outside were searching for her like hungry wolves. Sooner or later, she would be discovered by those cunning guys.
She went from the deep underground passage of the Mercenary Association to hide in the stinking sewer like a rat. Because she was seriously injured, it was meaningless for her to leave the city, so she chose to sneak into the sewer to heal her wounds.
The only one who could help her was Tan Aili. At this moment, she urgently needed medicine and food to nourish her broken body, otherwise the pain would become a huge obstacle on her way forward. However, on second thought, if there were people from the church secretly monitoring this huge castle, wouldn't that push Tan Aili into the fire pit as well?
She took out a list of names from her bosom, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She lit a torch, and the faint light illuminated the names on the list. She carefully analyzed them, trying to find a trustworthy person and reach out to him for help. This might be her only way to survive...
Those mercenaries active in the mercenary guild are like being labeled as untouchable. There are many believers in the church, and the active mercenaries will certainly be closely watched by them. The believers are all potential intelligence agents for the instructors.
What she was looking for were those who had retired long ago and had little contact with the Mercenary Association. Many locals knew nothing about their former mercenary identities.
Her eyes were like those of a hawk, fixed on the still impoverished mercenary, the drunkard Rubili. Most mercenaries valued profit over loyalty and were afraid of death. This was due to the pressure of life and the nature of their work, which was for money.
Therefore, those who have been mercenaries for many years but are still in poverty are most likely kind-hearted people, except for their lack of life skills. Back then, among the six people in the Glorious Team, five have become rich, but he is still poor.
Daphne, who has been a mercenary for almost half her life, how could she not understand mercenaries? It was not difficult to find this drunkard, who made a living by picking up garbage in the city. His former teammates were all rich, but no one helped him, and they wanted to cut off their relationship. This is the fickleness of the world.
People who are rich and powerful are probably not good people. Sometimes, when an opportunity comes and you need to do something immoral, some people will do it without hesitation, while others will give up because of their conscience. This is not because the rich are so capable and the poor are born incapable, it depends on opportunities and choices.
Daphne regretted that she had never helped him in the past. Now that she needed his help, she first thought of him as a good man! He must be able to help her. Could it be that good people can only wait to help others, but good things will never come to them...
Daphne couldn't help but despise herself, but at the moment she had no time to care about so much, just take it as a gamble, the probability that the drunkard Ruby would risk his life to help her is as high as 90%...
