"Young Master Luo Ya? Is that the young master of the Akate family that we have been protecting? "
"Yes, that's him."
Within the Iron Wall Mercenary Corp's armory in Rosetta City, Cynthia, the tall and slender commander, frowned as she looked at the clerk of the corp with dissatisfaction.
"You want us to be transferred to Akate territory? Are you kidding me?"
"No, this is a notice from the officials of Rosetta City. They said that there was a change in the contract and that it was transferred to Akate territory. They want us to listen to Young Master Luo Ya's orders in the future. As for the salary …"
"That's the Theocracy!"
“.....”
Cynthia's roar interrupted the clerk's explanation, and also shouted out the thoughts of the members nearby.
The Theocracy of St. Maester was famous for its stability and ease of living in the human world. It was the base of the Holy See and a place of pilgrimage for thousands of Xi Ya believers. It was beautiful and holy, but for the heretics, the situation was completely different. It was dangerous.
Since the Twin Wars of the Theocracy two hundred years ago, the heretics began to move out of the Theocracy in large numbers. Today, there were very few heretics in the Theocracy, and the relevant laws seemed to be stricter. The atmosphere in the Theocracy of St. Maester and Rosetta was completely different.
In fact, the Iron Wall Mercenary Corp had been established for so many years, but they had never done any business in the Theocracy of St. Maester. This time, Xia Luote gave them too much money, so they made an exception and accepted it. But this time, they were detained by the Theocracy, and they did not expect to get into such big trouble.
"Can we refuse?"
"At least not in Rosetta."
"What about money?"
"It's useless. This is the decision of the higher-ups."
The old clerk stroked his beard and sighed. He looked at the beautiful commander and said:
"If you want to refuse, I'm afraid you will have to negotiate. You will have to talk to Young Master Luo Ya face to face."
"Hey, you want the commander to meet a noble?"
"No, it's too dangerous!"
The old clerk's words caused an uproar in the room. The members present were all agitated and tried to dissuade her. The reason was simple. Due to Cynthia's beauty and identity as a woman, she rarely saw outsiders, especially nobles. Meeting them often meant trouble.
Due to her beautiful appearance and her identity as a female heretic, Cynthia had been pestered by quite a few disgusting nobles in the past. In fact, these nobles would even condescendingly request for her to become their mistress. The moment she thought of this, her stomach was filled with rage.
Cynthia was 30 years old this year. As an Extraordinaire, she looked like she was 18 years old. It could be said that she was youthful and beautiful. As the daughter of the previous leader, she had been in the mercenary group since she was young and had extraordinary talent. Today, she was already a level 3 Source Rank expert.
If she was a possessor of three Origin Substances, these nobles probably wouldn't have dared to speak to her like this even if they had their guts broken. However, she was a heretic, and discrimination was a common attitude among the nobles, let alone the nobles of the St. Maester Theocracy.
"In my opinion, there are no good people in the Pope's country! Previously, Morton and his mercenary group didn't even get half of the money because they were heretics. "
"That's nothing. Previously, they were attacked and detained by the regular army because they were marching in the Pope's country. It was the headquarters of Lochet's side that collected the money to redeem them."
The noise in the room continued. Examples of how the nobles of the Pope's country had harmed the heretics were brought up one after another, causing the brown-haired beauty's face to turn gloomy.
Cynthia held her chin as she weighed the pros and cons. The more she thought about it, the more she realized that she had to go. As the saying goes, the situation is stronger than the person. Whether it was Lochet's side or the Akat family, she couldn't afford to offend them.
After a long silence, Cynthia spoke of her decision.
"… I understand. I'll talk to him personally."
In the luxurious carriage, the fully armed Cynthia took a deep breath and tried to calm her nervous emotions.
This time, she dared to come personally not because she was brave but because she had carefully considered it. The main reason was that she had once escorted Luo Ya to Akat.
Luo Ya should be 13 years old this year. At this age, there was a huge gap between him and Cynthia. On the other hand, as a guard, Cynthia had seen the young miss of the Sorofia Family act intimately with him more than once. She heard that the two of them were engaged.
Now that Luo Ya was living in the famous Bird Garden of the Sorofia Family, no matter how she looked at it, the Luo Ya here would not touch her due to etiquette. Otherwise, it would be a public slap to the Sorofia Family's face. Even if he had bad intentions, the Source Rank 3 Cynthia was not afraid.
He was just a child. His status might be high, but how much strength could he have when he was spoiled? Moreover, he looked sickly.
