Bab 27: Chapter 27. Mercenary sermon
Fear seemed to have infused their bodies, trapping them, binding them.
But it was not so for all present, a young man managed to overcome it and with tears in his eyes he returned to try to hit me.
I had to recognize the courage and stubbornness of this young merchant, unlike the monkeys, he was a dog man, but with the same golden blond of the monkeys.
Before he went half way to hit me he was stopped by one of the minotaurs, in his eyes, one could see kindness, understanding and a touch of mockery.
According to Lint.
It was this one who solved the atmosphere with his words.
- Remember where we are, in which world we live, we, even being part of the Leprechaun alliance, must be paid to defend your shipments and you still have the balls to send your complaints to the people who have decided to help us for free," the faces of many were already starting to turn red with shame.
- Not only have they faced the beasts at the cost of their own lives, but you are asking them to face more without offering anything, what's the matter, are their lives worth so little that they have to offer them for free? If it were us, surely we would have done the same, indeed, I would say that we would not even have killed that devourer who escaped from the line of defense. But you insult them and even try to beat them up. Apart from shameless, stupid, if these people were to get angry, do you think any of you would be left alive, let me answer you, NO and not only that, it would drag us, the guards and mercenaries to a stupid death.
All the merchants were silent, with their heads down, it was true, everything mentioned was the absolute truth.
At that moment the minotaur looked at me.
- Young lord, if you ever need mercenary soldiers or want to become one, don't hesitate to come to the Leprechaun Alliance, we minotaurs like strong people and people who know how to survive in this world, I see you have all the requirements and our boss will surely like you. As long as you have money or resources that we need, we will be at your service and if you want to stop being nomads, come along, we will have a bed for you and warm food for your own -
Even without Lint telling me, I knew that the minotaur spoke the truth, it seemed that his people were honest and belligerent, something I liked.
I did not hesitate to thank him for his proposal, in the end I was able to get something good out of this fight, yes, I had discovered something bad, very, very bad. When I take creatures to the abyss as my troops, they don't give experience, in other words, I will have to decide if I want soldiers or experience in the future, a terrible choice.
After that, the merchants and their guards spent the day burying the dead, we took a few bodies from the beasts and moved them away, then sent them into the abyss.
It didn't seem to matter to those present.
As there was still some tense weather, I thought it was time to leave, night was on the rise and as we were still close to shore, we could swim north, that would give us safety and we could move on.
Here is something strange, we were not sleepy, being dolphins we were sleepy when the day was over, but being abyssals, we only felt like resting, every three or four days. Now it seems that we are still on the same path as the abyssals.
When we got ready to leave, the minotaurs invited us to dinner, since they had been kind to us I agreed.
The dinner was raptor to the flames, on bed of reptilian devourer.
In other words, the beasts we had slaughtered.
Although this was nothing to feel slighted about, beast-class meat is very expensive, in addition to its skin. Bone and anything belonging to it, the same for animal class, but in this case a bit cheaper.
I could see the anxiety and curiosity of the minotaurs and everyone present, even on the part of my own, when I was offered a skewer of meat, I didn't see the problem, so I pulled down my hood showing my short, white hair and removed my mask. The eyes of those present opened wide and Lilith instantly stepped between my face and their gazes.
A new passive ability had appeared, but I simply let it pass, we decided to eat apart and in the dark, after the many propositions from Lilith and mine, I personally didn't give them much hype.
After that, people started to look at us strangely, especially me, but we tried not to let it bother us.
After eating, we went back to the minotaurs and started talking, in any case, the ones who talked were Gal, Velona and Pele, the biggest of ours, they seemed to like the company of these mercenaries, me too, so I soon joined them and we ended up spending the night laughing and partying.
With the last night we removed the insecurities with the merchants, but we did not speak to each other, under the wish of the minotaurs, we joined the caravan, as emergency protectors and so we could continue our walk to the north, which was extremely profitable, Balthazar managed in this week of travel, learn a couple of spells and teach them to us, this was easier because of our passive curiosity.
