The Chosen Game

Chapter 86 Neither a saint nor a devil!
"I am a nobleman, you...you want to do something to me!?" Mrs. Kesumari's voice was trembling.

None of the mercenaries spoke, and two mercenaries stood in front of Mrs. Kesumari, blocking her way.

The maid was overwhelmed with fright, and the male servants were all pale and huddled together, not daring to speak. They were just ordinary farmers on the farm, and they had no fighting power at all.

But then again, if these servants were really capable of fighting, Mrs. Kesumari would not spend silver coins to hire the Hammer Mercenary Group to escort her.

The confrontation between Mrs. Kesumari and the mercenaries lasted only 2 minutes, and the team leader Leo and the others had already finished the secret conversation and walked towards this side.

Whether it was Mrs. Kesumari or the mercenaries, they all set their sights on the group leader Leo and the other four.

Xin You walked in the front with a blank expression, but the head of the group, Li Ao, looked a little gloomy and unwilling.

Xin You strode up to Mrs. Kesumari, and said, "Madam, please keep your promise. After arriving in Yanlin City, you can give us 20 times the reward."

Mrs. Kesumari's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe what she heard, and then she nodded without hesitation: "Okay! As long as you can bring me and my daughter together with that rare treasure, we will be safe and sound." Send it to Yanlin City, I will definitely keep my promise and give you 20 times the reward!"

Xin You nodded and continued: "I have one more request. According to what the leader said, it is very dangerous to escort the strange treasure. In order to speed up the journey and reach Yanlin City earlier, I hope that Mrs. Kesumari can give up that General cargo in several carriages."

Mrs. Kesumari showed a painful expression on her face, and she seemed a little hesitant: "Although the ordinary goods in those carriages are not worth much, their existence can cover the existence of that rare treasure."

"Mrs. Kesumari, you have to know that you have a rare treasure, which has already been leaked out, otherwise, the Mads Thieves wouldn't have come all the way to attack us." Captain Leo said with a gloomy face. , even your honorific title was removed, and it was directly replaced with you.

Madam Kesumari bit her lip and nodded: "Okay!"

"Well, for the sake of safety and to reach Yanlin City earlier, let's set off overnight, Mrs. Kesumari, do you have any objections?"

"No." Mrs. Kesumari shook her head.

"Where are the brothers?" Captain Leo looked around at the mercenaries under him again.

"I have no objection." The mercenaries also shook their heads. Many of them have long been attracted by the 20 times high remuneration. How can they have any objections?
As the leader of the regiment, Leo may have a little greed in his heart for Mrs. Kesumari's rare treasure, but these ordinary mercenaries basically don't have such thoughts.

Mrs. Kesumari took out a wooden box with an old style from a carriage carrying ordinary goods, held it in her hand preciously, and took the little girl into the carriage together.

The three carriages carrying ordinary goods were left in the woods where the camp was camped, and the body of the mercenary Kexi was also stuffed into a carriage carrying goods and was not taken away.

The team continued to set off in the deep night.

Because there were no torches for lighting, the procession of the team was not fast.

In front of the carriage, there were mercenaries with good eyes leading the way, and behind the carriage, there were also mercenaries following.

A male servant was in charge of driving the carriage, and Xin You was holding his dagger, sitting next to the male servant, closing his eyes and meditating.

As the strongest fighting force of this team, he must recharge his batteries and keep himself at the peak state to deal with the dangers that may arise next.

With his eyes closed, Xin You didn't fall asleep, he was thinking about what happened that night.

This was the first time he accepted the Heavenly Dao mission, and it was also the first time he encountered danger during the Heavenly Dao mission, and a lot of problems were exposed from it.

One is that his mission experience is too little, and his judgment is also very lacking. If someone on the enemy side gave a command, he would instinctively think that it was the enemy's commander. As a result, the enemy's real commander who was hiding in the dark escaped calmly. Lost.

He wasn't sure if the head of the Maze Thieves escaped, but he had a premonition that this insidious and cunning thief leader must have escaped.

The second is that he came here to carry out the mission of Heavenly Dao, so he shouldn’t be so curious. His mission is to escort Mrs. Kesumari and their mother and child to Yanlin City safely. This is the most important thing to him. , and everything else is secondary.

He shouldn't have kept the captive of the Metz bandit just because of the little curiosity in his heart.

It was this prisoner who almost caused the entire escort team to split apart and fall apart. He tried his best to stabilize the team.

All of the above are things he needs to think about and reflect on.

Just like that, the carriage was driving on the somewhat rugged mountain road, and Xin You swayed along with the carriage.

The girl Staffan suddenly poked her head out of the carriage and said to him in a low voice, "Thank you, Uncle Xin You, you are a good man."

Xin You opened his eyes and turned to look at the little girl.

His eyes met those of the little girl's blue eyes. The little girl's eyes were very clear and pure, but his eyes were mixed with too many things.

After only looking at each other for less than a second, he looked away and said in a low voice, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."

The little girl stared at her big eyes with a curious look on her face, and when she wanted to say something more to Xin You, she was forcibly pulled into the carriage by her mother, Mrs. Kesumari.

Xin You closed his eyes again, he was thinking, is he really a good person?
Perhaps, when he was very young, on Desert Saturn, he was an innocent child full of fantasies about the future, and he at that time could be called a good person.

But after that, can he still be called a good person?

His more than ten years of life experience have made him ignore life and death. If there is no factor such as missions, let alone Mrs. Kesumari, even all the mercenaries in this mercenary regiment are all under his control. Even if he died tragically in front of him, he would remain indifferent.

The reason why he helped Mrs. Kesumari was simply to complete this Heavenly Dao mission.

So, can he be called a bad guy?

Ask yourself, he is not a bad person, at least not the kind of bad person outright. Although he has already ignored life and death, and there is not much sympathy for the same kind left in his heart, but he knows how to be grateful. Under the nurturing, he still sticks to the bottom line of many human beings. If it is not necessary, he will not kill any innocent person indiscriminately...

This is Xin You, neither good nor evil, he is him, a pure human being, neither a saint nor a devil!
