Sully put his hand down and looked up at the Lions leader with a calm gaze.

The Lions leader could not see any warning or defensiveness in his eyes; Sully looked at him the same way he looked at any passerby on the street.

But for the leader of the Lions, a person without elemental affinity should not be so bold as to look directly at himself who could easily kill him, no matter how many protectors are around him.

But that's the reality.

The green-eyed boy poured himself a cup of warm milk, seemingly to relieve the burning sensation in his stomach. However, this unusual attitude made people instinctively feel that he took everything he was about to talk about as normal.

"Whether Sadina is in chaos or not, for someone like me who lives on the edge, I don't have much of a sense of reality." Suli took a sip of milk slowly before continuing, "As long as the bakery is not closed and the grocery store is still open, all the disputes between you and Euphia are like clouds in the sky, separated from me by the entire sky."

"To be honest, I don't care about the fight between you." Suli saw it clearly, "As long as you still put forward the premise that 'the person who issues the mission may be anyone', the fight will not be expanded to civilians."

"So, how about you just sit quietly and listen to me, an outsider who has no vested interest in you and no obvious connection with the incident?"

These words seemed righteous, but when Sully's eyes lightly glanced at the solid-colored plates on the table, he still revealed that he was worried about the compensation he might have to pay after the furniture was damaged, as well as the money that would be wasted on purchasing new furniture.

But in the eyes of everyone, Suli, who was holding a glass of milk in both hands, was deliberately focusing his eyes on irrelevant things.

Sully himself didn't know that when his green eyes stared at others, they always brought an inexplicable sense of oppression to the people being stared at.

Perhaps because of his young age, Sully's eyes seemed too clear. But once this clarity was accompanied by a sense of oppression, it always gave people a feeling... had he seen through me completely?

Today is no exception.

Even the leader of the Lions Club thought that Sully's move to look away was to give him some space to think, rather than to overpower him.

But the current situation is just as Sully said before, as long as the leader of the Lions Club is in an environment where everyone around him may become an enemy, he actually has no other choice.

For a moment, the Lions leaders thought Sully was an extremely smart person who would use everything around him to expand his power.

He may have no power, and may even look like a child, but with those simple words and the shift in eye contact, the Lions leader could no longer look down on Sully.

There is only one way to maintain your self-cultivation and attitude in this environment where everyone is watching you covetously, and that is to say with self-respect and dignity: "Tell me what you want to say."

He raised his chin subtly.

Euphia tutted, feeling disgusted by his unwillingness to let go of his burden.

After obtaining the consent of the leader of the Lions Club, Suli slowly took on the serious attitude he had shown towards Party A before the time travel.

"The purpose of establishing the Lions Club is to accept war missions, and the main focus of the reforms that Euphia and others intend to make to the Mercenary Alliance is to avoid the occurrence of large-scale war missions so that mercenaries do not have to face life-and-death crises every time they accept a mission." This is the big premise.

The leader of the Lions Club seemed impatient and wanted to take back the initiative in the conversation. At this time, he said, "Don't say these nonsense that everyone knows."

But the next second, the knife and fork on the table were already in Egbert's hand and placed around his neck.

His tone was cold: "When Sully speaks, you just need to listen carefully."

Sully had no intention of stopping Egbert's behavior. Changing other people's individual consciousness easily would make them develop habits and gradually become convinced of what he said. Getting along with people is not like training a dog. This is not good at all.

Suli simply glanced at the leader of the Lions Club, crossed his hands on the table, and continued with his chin in his hand: "Although the benefits of war missions are far greater than other missions, they have an unusually high mortality rate. Under normal circumstances, after obtaining the reward for the mission, part of the money will be taken out immediately to compensate the families of the mercenaries who have died."

"but!"

"Before mercenaries were organized, they mostly acted alone. They didn't even know the names of their victims, and were often only referred to by a single feature. Even if they died suddenly, the money used to compensate them would probably not reach their families. Therefore, in my opinion, the so-called war missions were just a way for the upper class to make money or trade resources with the lives of mercenaries."

The life of a lone traveler is worth nothing.

This information was taken for granted by the leaders of the Lions Club. Even when Euphia wanted to reform the Mercenary Alliance, she did not consider this almost "insignificant" detail.

The former simply do not understand that this is cruel, while the latter has never faced such cruelty.

However, Sully's behavior of continuing the topic without doing anything to stop Egbert made the leader of the Lions Club stretch his neck to feel the coolness of the sharp blade, and even a piercing chill rose from his back.

It was like a shadow that he had never noticed before was suddenly exposed under the light, forcing him to stare at it directly.

"Reforming the existing plan may seem like a unilateral and unwarranted move to the vested interests, or even to those who have not yet discovered these vested interests. However, considering the overall situation..."

Suli held the cup of milk in his hand, looking gloomy.

"Which mercenary can completely trust the people he is accompanying on a mission during a war?"

"The simplest example is that my partner has no family, so after his death, there is no one to be compensated. Then, the commission we have earned together, as long as the other party dies... will all belong to me."

But judging from past situations, the reason why mercenaries were wary of the people around them was not because they thought the other party might kill people for treasure, but because they thought strangers were not trustworthy.

The reason why they are not trustworthy is that no one knows what actions people who are not familiar with you will take, good or bad...

Ultimately, this unilateral vigilance is defined as: Don't gamble with human nature.

Suli didn't know whether this was artificial guidance or something else, but he just felt his scalp tingling.

It is too shallow, so shallow that it looks like fallen leaves floating on the lake. It seems to be swept by the sad autumn wind, but the bottom of the lake is full of old mud that has been rotten for who knows how long.

This is a paradox that is completely illogical in terms of consciousness, but it is taken for granted by everyone.

"The extremely high death rate of mercenaries is not only due to the dangers of war, but more to murder by people around them."

Sully occasionally wondered why mercenaries existed.

The slogan of the alliance is very clear: they are a group of people who choose to be loyal for the sake of freedom.

But what if there is no freedom at all?

I can't get the money, and I can't go to the tavern to drink a glass of bard wine as I want, listen to the bards telling some strange and interesting stories, or go to the Monster Forest to fight against the aliens head-on.

All these possibilities that might have existed were completely obliterated by the derivatives given by the concept of war mission.

Most of the mercenaries who yearned for freedom died before they were about to touch their freedom.

The lone walker did not enjoy the peace that belonged to him alone, but in the end he did not even know how he died.

Suli drank the remaining milk in the cup quietly, leaving a long time for people around him to think about what he meant.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to tell everyone present something.

No matter how you fight, it has nothing to do with me in essence.

Regardless of whether this statement is cold or not, it is a fact that cannot be ignored.

Suli, who was not a mercenary, was also one of the vested interests to some extent. Because the mercenaries served the people who issued the missions, and the people who issued the missions could be nobles or commoners. Therefore, disputes among mercenaries would never easily involve these two types of people.

But this reform is destined to be inseparable from these two types of people.

If the leader of the Lions Club was originally a three-star mercenary, he should be one of those who hindered Euphia's reforms. Similarly, he is also tied to the nobles.

In this case, Sully represents the ordinary people who will unite with Euphia and issue ordinary missions on a large scale.

Those that were released provoked conflicts between forces, established resource divisions with blood, and used the lives of mercenaries to determine the war missions of superiority...

Essentially, there is no point in having mercenaries; they do not enjoy resources nor do they obtain a noble status.

Ultimately, Suli expressed these unilateral judgments only to give them more reference on the overall situation so that the coming of changes can be more stable and harmonious.

To put it bluntly, this one-sided personal dialogue is more like a letter that a worker drops into the comment box at the door of his boss' office.

Would it be looked at twice and then thrown into the trash, or would it be swept away without even a glance? Sully had no idea. He could only hope that his dining table could save his life during this conversation.

Suli, who deeply lamented the difficulties of working people, stroked the cup with his fingertips, and then said with a sigh: "People may do the work of tools, but they can never stop considering themselves as human beings."

Just these one sentence woke up everyone present.

The leader of the Lions Club even had a chill, as if he was inexplicably thrown into the ice and snow in the hottest days of summer. Snow wolves and white foxes surrounded him, but because of the same environment and fur color, the humans standing in the scene were completely unaware that danger was imminent.

As long as they are still mercenaries, they are all victims and tools in the hands of the nobles.

Euphia thought of this, and so did the leader of the Lions Club.

This shock and the idea he had never encountered before made the leader of the Lions Club lower his head, abandon the burden that should not have existed, and completely lower his posture. He looked at the ground and said with an extremely pious attitude: "I spit on the overly shallow self before I officially got to know you."

Suli was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

The author has something to say:

Suli: ????? ?????
