Hao Ren found Becky, who had nothing to do in an officer's lounge in Hodeceus Floating City. Becky had no chance to participate in the high-level meetings because her rank was not high enough. She had been hanging around the base for half a day. Relying on her reputation as a legendary mercenary and her noble identity, she enjoyed freeloading in the lounge. When everyone saw Becky, she was gorging herself in the canteen. She had prepared a table full of high-class drinks and snacks for herself. She was in high spirits.
If it was someone else who was left alone, they would probably be disappointed for a while. But for this careless mercenary girl, it seemed that there was no such thing as' unhappy 'in her dictionary. Hao Ren even suspected that as long as she was provided with good food, drinks and clothes, she would be happy even if she was sold.
But the premise was that she was responsible for counting the money: she liked counting money.
As soon as Becky saw everyone, she greeted them happily. Hao Ren went over and looked at the table full of banquet-sized dishes. "You sure are carefree. Eating so much alone, you must be stuffed to death, right?"
"Isn't this prepared for you when I knew you were back?" Becky laughed and clapped her hands. "I just couldn't resist tasting two drumsticks, half a pound of pancakes, four cakes and two bottles of wine. Welcome, saviors. You've saved the world again? "
Lily looked at Becky in a daze and suddenly showed a look of admiration. "Your appetite has almost caught up with mine. You've made great progress."
"Enjoy life to the fullest. From now on, the king doesn't have morning court … I've had a good fight today. After smelling the blood, the habit of being a mercenary emerged again." Becky waved her hand. "Enjoy yourself when there's food and drink. What if there's no next meal?"
Y 'lisabet gently tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve. "Uncle Ren, enjoy life to the fullest. Is that the saying after that?"
Hao Ren kept a straight face. "Don't learn from her. She's ignorant and incompetent."
But aside from that, Becky's attitude towards life was really enviable. Hao Ren could not help but think that if the end of the world really happened today, Becky might really be the only person in Hodeceus who died of hunger. Of course, it was also possible that she would be stuffed to death.
"What do you mean by ignorant and incompetent?" Becky's ears were sharp. "Little girl, I'll teach you how to crush stones with your chest in two days. I have the skills too … Okay, okay, I'll stop talking nonsense. Sit here and eat. Look at you guys … You're probably busy. Are you leaving soon?"
Only then did Hao Ren realize that his stomach was empty. He had been doing high-intensity physical exertion for most of the day, and he had not eaten anything yet. Lily, who was next to him, was already in a trance when she smelled the food. She was already crouching on the table and wolfing down the food like a hungry dog. She could finish a whole drumstick in the blink of an eye, and she did not even spit out the bones!
"I'll be leaving in a while," Hao Ren said as he sat down opposite Becky. He did not bother with pleasantries and started to eat his belly. "A lot has happened. I have to go back and report. Slow down, Lily. No one is going to snatch it from you … At least spit out the bones, okay? "
"Huh?" Lily looked up with half a piece of meat bone in her mouth. Her face was covered in oil. She chewed the bone and swallowed it. "What?"
"… Forget it. Do whatever you want." Hao Ren smiled and shook his head. He put Lil Pea on the table and gave her a few pieces of sawdust to chew on. He then chatted with Becky about life in Holletta while eating. The careless mercenary maiden was still the same as before. She was abnormally slow when it came to things that had nothing to do with money. She did not even feel the change in the atmosphere in the floating city. Even when the pope's martyrdom was mentioned, she just sighed and said, "Ugh … I can't believe it …"
With her brain, she couldn't handle the comprehension or analysis of the situation above all of this.
While chatting, Hao Ren seemed to have returned to the time when he lived with Becky. This amazing girl really did not change much no matter where she went. He used to think that she was adaptable, but now it seemed that she was just too stubborn. Nangong Wuyue could not help but sigh. "Sometimes I really envy you. If anyone had your attitude, life would be a lot easier. Mr. Landlord would not have to worry so much all day long."
"That's a compliment?" Becky burped and patted her belly. "Thank you. Life is pretty simple. Why worry about things that you can figure out? Why worry about things that you can't figure out? That's what the goddess taught me. Oh, your goddess over there. "
After saying this, Becky stretched comfortably. "Phew … it's still so easy to talk. It's so much more comfortable to talk with you guys. I used to have to go to the banquet to be polite with those old antiques. I had to put on makeup to go out of the city to find someone to curse at, and I often found that the person who was cursing at me was actually the butler in disguise …"
What else could Hao Ren say? He just felt that it was not easy to work in Becky's mansion …
While Becky was complaining, a voice suddenly came from behind them. "You should get used to the life of a noble. At least understand your butler. He won't let you go to the tavern and fight with those gangsters. The image of a legendary mercenary shouldn't be tarnished like that."
Becky turned her head and suddenly froze. She suddenly jumped up and said, "Oh … Lady Ophra! You, you, you … you're here? Have you eaten? What would you like to drink? Do you have any instructions? Do you want a glass of ale? Pastries? Do you want me to massage your back … "
Ophra waved her hand and said, "No, I still don't dare to eat your food for now. Who knows what you've put in it again."
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as Marshal Ophra said that, Hao Ren thought of Becky drugging his idol. He looked at Becky, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He whispered, "So, your drugging was exposed?"
Ophra had the blood of a demon hunter. Her ears were sharper than Lily's. She heard Hao Ren's whisper and immediately laughed. "How could she not be exposed? She said she was going to make tea for me, but the tea could be eaten with a spoon. Who couldn't see that there was something in it …"
Everyone immediately looked at Becky as if she was an idiot. Becky blushed and explained, "I didn't pay attention at that time. I was too excited. I didn't even look at the amount and poured it all in …"
Lily asked excitedly, "And then? And then?"
"And then?" Marshal Ophra smiled and touched her chin. "Anyway, I'm immune to most of the drugs, so I just chewed it. It's quite chewy."
So, Hao Ren was amazed by Becky and Ophra. Putting aside the fact that Ophra could chew the knockout drug, Becky's ability to drug someone's tea to make it chewy was unprecedented.
Lily looked at the combination of idol and die-hard fan with a serious face and very seriously suggested, "I think the two of you should really go and have sex."
Nangong Wuyue poked Hao Ren's waist with the tip of her tail and whispered, "Is it really okay for us to discuss this topic here so seriously? It doesn't sound like it's for young people … "
"Oh, by the way, there's business." At this time, Ophra seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped chatting with Becky. She looked up at Hao Ren and said, "I'm here to ask you something."
Hao Ren noticed that the relaxed atmosphere on Ophra suddenly faded and could not help but become serious. "What is it?"
"You … or more strictly speaking, you, do you want to try to be like the Disciples of Glory, accept the blessings of the church, and listen to the voice of the Goddess?"
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the other party to suddenly mention this. After a few seconds, he subconsciously shook his head and said, "You want me to join the church? That doesn't sound very reliable … I have no problem with your faith, but I have an organization. "
"Maybe there's something wrong with what I said." Ophra looked into Hao Ren's eyes seriously. "I'm not asking you to join the church, I'm just asking you to try the branding ritual."
"Branding?" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment and then remembered that this was a ritual that the new official clergy of the Disciples of Glory had to go through. By injecting lifeblood into the body, and in the process, a spiritual shaping was carried out, so that the power of the Goddess would resonate with the power of the Goddess somewhere in the universe. It was said that after the ritual, the clergy would be able to communicate with the Goddess, but he did not know why Ophra suddenly came to this. "Why me? Is it because we helped solve a lot of problems, so the church decided to use this method to 'reward' us? If that's the case, then I'm not very interested … "
"Let the master tell you," Ophra said, raising her hand and pointing behind them.
Hao Ren saw the bearded ascetic coming from there.
