"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Eloise said expressionlessly.
The red-haired woman's face froze, she didn't expect this handsome man to be so direct.
However, her expression returned to normal in an instant. After all, she was also a person who had been through the storm, so these slight embarrassments were nothing.
"Give me a reason, am I not good-looking enough?" the red-haired female mercenary was a little reluctant.
"Maev, you're exhausted. This guy is prettier than you. He acts like a girl and doesn't even dare to drink. Why don't you try with me?" A ranger from the Golden Company who was as skinny as a monkey said.
He spoke sarcastically.
"It's better to follow me. I guarantee you a happy life every day." Another mercenary also said.
The female mercenary was extremely angry, "Go to hell, you two don't show your own virtue by peeing!"
These two mercenaries didn't care when they were scolded. It seemed that they were used to joking around.
She turned her head and stared at Eloise. Somehow, she had seen countless handsome men, but since she walked into the hotel and saw Eloise at the first sight, she fell in love with him.
The life of a mercenary is like licking blood with the tip of a knife. Every day, Maiev also plays the world with the mentality of having fun in time, and has had many one-night marriages.
But she never did it with people in the regiment, because after getting along day and night, she developed more comradeship, and she was afraid that if she fell in love with someone, she would form a bond.
The Eloise in front of her was undoubtedly the most handsome person she had ever seen.
no no.
It can no longer be described as handsome, this is neutral beauty.
Somehow, facing Elos, a kind of longing arose in my mind.
It was a longing feeling that I had never had before.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to drink now." Eloise stood up and gave Maiev a gentleman's salute before returning to the room on the second floor of the hotel.
Facing the polite and polite Eloise, for some reason, this female mercenary with a straightforward personality actually had the idea of inferiority in her heart.
She then had a strong sense of loss in her psychology. Although there were only a few sentences in the conversation, and they were all polite rejections, she could feel Eloise's indifference.
This kind of indifference is not the kind of condescension or arrogance due to differences in status, but rather the feeling of not caring about her or even everyone in the Golden Group at all.
Maybe there aren’t many things in the world that he can put into his eyes!
Maiev thought so.
This time she didn't stop him, she just watched silently as Ilosu walked up to the second floor.
In fact, what she didn't know was that Eloise's character had always been like this. Apart from revenge and the people and things around him, he had no desire or desire for anything else.
At the same time, Eloise is extremely rational, but this also produces a trace of arrogance, which no one has noticed, not even him.
The deeper reason is: after awakening his true name, Eloise's body and temperament are gradually approaching perfection, and he naturally has the idea of making others feel ashamed of himself.
Maiev is also very beautiful in appearance and has a bold and aggressive personality. She has many suitors in the mercenary world, and it is difficult for ordinary people to refuse her request.
But one incident actually caused her deep frustration and low self-esteem.
He returned to his seat, picked up the fruit wine and drank it all in one gulp, and then asked for a strong whiskey, drinking alone and silently.
The teammates are all very strange, this is not like Maiev's style.
Once upon a time, a handsome nobleman rejected Maiev because her status as a mercenary was not worthy of being with a nobleman. So Maiev, who was furious at being rejected, immediately beat the handsome nobleman to pieces, breaking his bones and tendons. For this, she was wanted by the locals.
Hunting, Maiev is still on the wanted list in that town.
This man who looks like a girl actually escaped death?
The female mage opposite Maiev saw something was wrong with her and asked:
"Sister Maiev, what's wrong with you!"
"It's nothing, I just feel that my life is a failure and meaningless." Maiev drank a glass of whiskey directly and then motioned to the bartender to continue adding more drinks.
"The man just now was indeed handsome, but he didn't make you so lost." The female mage was very surprised. Although she also had a crush on Elos, she didn't become a completely different person like Maiev.
"It seems that we need to strengthen our magic practice so that we can focus on nothing else. There is a golden house in magic, and there is Yan Ruyu in magic." The female mage strengthened her thoughts.
"Vivian, listen to my sister, cherish yourself and love yourself, so that when you meet good people, you will have no worries, you can stand on an equal footing, and you don't have to feel inferior or feel sorry for yourself!"
The female mage named Vivian was thoughtful after hearing this.
Early the next morning, Elos walked downstairs in high spirits. His injury was almost healed, and the scars from the wound had fallen off, revealing new pink flesh.
There were not many guests on the first floor of the hotel early in the morning. There were only wine barrels and food residues on the floor. It seemed that the group of people had been working very late last night.
After settling the remaining fees and asking the boss for the route to the Central Mountains, Elos went to the stable in the backyard of the hotel, ready to ride on Grape and continue on his way.
I just heard the voice of that bully Halsey: "Commander, when will you be equipped with a war horse? Are you going to go on missions like this every day?"
"I'm talking about a bull, no horse of your size can carry you, unless you let the group leader get a shire horse." The ranger, who was as thin as a monkey, sneered.
"Oh my god, there really is a Shire horse!" The group of people were somewhat surprised when they saw Elos passing by them on Putao.
The mercenaries of the Golden Company were suddenly confused as to where Iloth came from.
The reputation of the Golden Group is relatively good in the industry. Not only do they have a strong spirit of contract, but they rarely do anything to bully others. Last night, Maiev got a bad blow from Iloth. Although this group of people were not angry, they were not angry either.
He must stand up for Maiev and cause trouble for Eloth.
Although the conduct of the mercenaries of the Golden Company was generally acceptable, it was more likely that they also felt that Iloth was powerful.
After all, anyone who is so beautiful and dares to travel alone is either stupid or very powerful, otherwise he would have been kidnapped long ago. You know, there are many people who like men.
Obviously Iloth is the second one.
Maiev walked up to Elos's horse, looked up at him, and said with complicated thoughts: "I heard that the hotel owner said that you also want to go to the Central Mountains?"
Eloise nodded, "Yes, are you going too?"
"Of course, we have received an important commission and we need to enter the Central Mountains. How about we go together?" Maiev has not given up yet.
The Slender Monkey Ranger was not happy when he heard this: "Maev, why do you invite an outsider so casually? Who agreed? Are we going to enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
"I can hire you, just take me to the Central Mountains."
Iloth looked at these experienced Golden Company mercenaries and thought that he was not familiar with this place, especially since he had already attracted the attention of the Holy Empire. He was about to go deep into the Xirel Empire for a while, and it was very easy to attract attention alone.
Therefore, I plan to hire this group of mercenaries as a cover.
"Brother, you probably don't know the price of hiring our Golden Group!" Halsey the Bull said angrily, "The fees are very high."
"Oh, that's easy to say." Eloise took out a small bag of gold galleons and threw it to Halsey, "Here's the deposit, about 200 gold galleons. How about you send me to a place and give the other half to me?"
Halsey the Bull was a little confused. She originally wanted him to retreat in spite of the difficulties, but unexpectedly she hit the snake on the stick and offered him money that he couldn't refuse.
"We'll take this job!" The affirmative reply came from the grizzled middle-aged mercenary, who was the leader of the Golden Company.
The middle-aged leader of the Golden Group is named Arthur Myron. He was also a famous young talent when he was young. It was he who founded the Golden Group, and then led the team on the path of becoming a mercenary through his extraordinary leadership skills.
The pinnacle of the military world.
He had been secretly observing Ilosu last night, and found that he could not see through Ilosu's strength. He was probably about the same as himself, maybe a little higher.
Judging from his many years of experience, Ilosu's character must not be bad.
What's more, Maiev in the team likes him very much, Vivian also has a good impression of him, and the most important thing is that she also wants to recruit this young man to join the team.
The Golden Company has not had new blood join it for many years.
Now that the group leader has spoken, everyone has no opinion.
At this moment, apart from Maiev and Vivian, who were secretly rejoicing in their hearts, Captain Arthur was also thinking happily in his heart:
"This guy is very powerful, no less powerful than me. Even if we fail to recruit him, we can still use him to increase our chances of winning this mission. Otherwise, we can also earn an additional 400 gold galleons. After all, we are on our way. Our goals are the same anyway."
“This wave is very profitable!”
Captain Arthur thought so.
If he had known about the complicated and hostile relationship between Eloth and the Holy Church and the royal family of the Siril Empire, he wonders whether he would still be able to laugh.
If Elos could understand Arthur's psychology, he would definitely say:
"You may make a lot of money, but I will definitely not lose money this time!"
