Chapter 121 - Volume 2
TL: I kind of got rekt for trying something too hard of a subject. The lecturers didn’t like it and I want to fix things before I post it up. Don’t worry, I didn’t drop any series and I’ll be back on November 26/27 for updates on all the series.
I’m still speed TLing the chapter and there might be Engrish or TL mistakes.
Chapter 65 – Mercenaries’ code
Brendel was throughly familiar with the background knowledge in the game. While Amandina’s understanding was restricted to the books, Brendel was was a complete veteran. Even though the captain apparently did not use his full strength, Brendel accurately discerned his true strength.
[About a Mid-tier Silver Rank fighter. At this level, he can match the White-Mane army captain of a full corp, and nearly reaches the strength of a commander. This fact makes it clear that this group of mercenaries cannot be underestimated.]
Leto and the other mercenaries were retired, but they possessed the strength of a Mid-tier Iron Rank fighters, and Brendel thought they were no weaker than the group here when they were at their peak.
He had tried asking Leto a few times about their background, but Leto did not wish to talk too much about it.
On the other side, Capo observed Brendel and felt a strange feeling crawl over his heart. His instinct was almost innate. When he looked at his black irides, they were as calm as though the event earlier did not happen. He had visited many places and seen many important men, consisting of Aouine’s nobles, great merchants, people from the desert and even a couple of mysterious wizards. None of them matched the youth’s demeanor, who gave a faint smile like everything was under his control.
“Captain, who’s that?”
Capo looked at one of the followers who came towards him. He shook his head: “I’m not sure, he appears to be a merchant in this local region.”
“I heard him talking about our Mercenaries’ Oath. I have never heard of 314th rule, is that a fake rule?” Another mercenary asked.
Capo shook his head. He knew that it was true, but it was only after Brendel described the rule that he recalled about it. It was not a particular thing to note of, as there were over seven hundred rules, and people only took care to remember the thirteen core rules. The other rules were just additional interpretation of how things should be done, and there was no strict regulation amongst mercenaries to use these rules.
But Capo felt that Brendel was the most mysterious and not a simple merchant.
“Having more people is a good thing.” One of the men immediately said.
“Not really, who knows if these people are spies from the other side.”
“That is quite true—”
“Don’t worry. If he wants to join our group even for the shortest time, he needs to pass the commander’s test according to the core rules.” One of the mercenaries replied: “The commander is definitely going to let Buga fight personally…”
The mercenary sighed and finished his words. “It’s a pity that Eke brat suddenly created trouble, otherwise he’s going to become the center of attention again.”
The young mercenaries suddenly fell into a silence when the topic suddenly changed to Eke.
