Magicians never make wishes

"The Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group?" Ronan asked in surprise.

So far, he has come into contact with two of the three major mercenary groups: the Dawn Mercenary Group and the Shadow Mercenary Group.

Could this Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group possibly be...?

"The leader of the three major mercenary groups of the Mercenary Blood Alliance, you haven't heard of it, have you?" Perry asked with surprise and skepticism.

Good heavens, Ironblood, Dawn, Shadow...

He had met all three vice-leaders of the three major mercenary groups.

"What's the relationship like between your three major mercenary groups?" Ronan asked.

"It's alright, after all, we're both from the same mercenary blood alliance," Perry said lazily. "While we wouldn't say we're irreconcilable enemies, we're certainly sworn enemies."

"Incompatible as fire and water, irreconcilable enemies?" Ronan exclaimed in surprise. "Is it that exaggerated?"

"The relationships between powerful forces have always been this complicated."

Perry shrugged and explained, "You think this force is an enemy force, but in reality, the two forces may be cooperating very closely."

"You might think these two forces have a good relationship, but in reality, their leadership is trying to eliminate each other."

"It's even possible that two seemingly unrelated forces are actually just two branches of a larger force."

"There are so many dirty tricks between these forces..." Perry sighed helplessly.

"So you couldn't stand the way your own mercenary group behaved, and chose to resign from your position as vice-captain?"

Ronan made a reasonable guess.

"No, I was fired by the dog commander for disobeying orders." Perry blushed.

"This is quite an unexpected turn of events, but could you please get off me first?"

Ronan felt a little breathless after being pressed down by a living person for so long for no reason.

"Uncle, you look quite strong, but I didn't expect you to be so weak..." Pei Li clicked her tongue twice.

Ronan remained silent, struggling to push Perry, who was clinging to him, aside, finally feeling a little lighter.

Although his physical form changed after the transformation, his constitution remained the same.

If Ronan in his original form could lift a hundred bricks,

Regardless of body type after transformation, one can only lift one hundred bricks and cannot enhance strength.

"Uncle, why do you seem to dislike your body..."

Not only does Perry have excellent night vision, but her senses are also exceptionally sharp. "Is this really your own body?"

"Of course, that's obvious."

That's outrageous! If I transform into another form, am I no longer myself?

"What are your plans for coming here? What are your next steps?"

Ronan quickly changed the subject and started discussing the next steps with her.

"There's only one entrance/exit on the third floor, and there's a rather strong guy guarding it."

"If I can't kill him quickly, it will easily attract others..." Perry said helplessly.

"At that point, let alone saving these girls, I myself might not be able to escape."

"You yourself are almost trapped, yet you still want to save these people?" Ronan was somewhat impressed by the other's ambition.

"Well, it's you who's here..." The girl's numbness in her legs had subsided, and she stood up excitedly.

"Uncle, let's work together to take down this evil organization that traffics in girls and sells their organs!"

"Aren't you the deputy commander?" Ronan glanced at her sideways. "Send in a large army to wipe them out!"

"Do you mercenaries really need a few more men?"

"predecessor!"

"Do you even know what an ex is?"

"What I say doesn't matter to them anymore," Perry said indignantly.

"Is no one in charge of Moonless City?"

Ronan didn't believe that the city guards of Moonless City couldn't handle this.

"If you don't think the city guards are their people, would they dare to openly build a dungeon here?"

Perry gave her a look that said, "You're so naive."

Seriously? Is Moonless City really that dark...?

"The two of us can't save these people," Ronan shook his head.

He used his mental power to carefully sense that at least a hundred young girls were imprisoned here.

Perry was taken aback. She was so focused on how to escape and fight her way up that she overlooked the question of whether these girls could survive.

"By the way, how did you know you were coming here to investigate?" Ronan asked curiously, though he had been forced to come.

"My best friend has gone missing, and as I was searching, I ended up here... but unfortunately, I haven't found her here either." Perry seemed a little disappointed.

"This is also the main reason why I was fired by the dog squad leader."

"I was originally supposed to be sent to the Earl's place... but I trust my own intelligence sources more."

"Is it Earl Barnes, who owns a manor outside the city?" Ronan had a vague idea of ​​what was going on. "Has he gathered people from various factions...?"

"That's right, I heard a lot of people died later." Perry immediately nodded in confirmation.

"Your friend isn't the Earl's daughter, is she?" Ronan boldly guessed.

Morgan, the manager of the Adventurers' Guild, once said that the reason Count Barnes went to such lengths was to find his daughter.

"You know Anna?" Perry asked in surprise.

"I don't know her, but the Earl has tried everything to find her... wait."

At this point, Ronan suddenly had an idea. "How can you be sure your good friend isn't here?"

"I've looked at each one carefully."

No, you didn't.

"Yes, this cell door can't hold me. Normally I... yeah!"

"Yes, you found clues about your good friend here, and this place is where many young girls are being held," Ronan said slowly.

"And after you infiltrated and learned about the situation, you immediately informed the Earl."

Perry smiled maliciously. "Uncle Barnes will be very happy to hear this news."

"Alright, so the next task has changed from 'saving a hundred or so young girls' to 'saving my unconscious team members'."

"No, there's no need to rescue your teammate alone," Perry said confidently.

"Once I summon the Earl, everyone here will be saved, and this building will be razed to the ground."

Ronan shook his head and analyzed,

"First of all, the girls are not in immediate danger and can hold out until you summon the Earl."

"But my teammates are no good. They won't wake up and could be cut into pieces and sold at any time."

"Most importantly, I've discovered a group of people with ill intentions heading in our direction."

"Keep your voice down," Ronan quickly whispered, reminding him.

at this time.

The dark passage was gradually illuminated, and the sounds of a group of people talking grew closer.

"Who gave you permission to lock him up on your own?!" A gruff male voice boomed with anger.

Ronan recognized the voice; it was his employer's.

"Master, we don't know the specifics either. Usually, we wait until after the harvest before..." the obsequious voice explained repeatedly, its tone full of flattery.

That's Parker's voice.

"These aren't sheep for meat, deal with them quickly to avoid trouble." The employer's words carried an air of unquestionable authority.

"No problem, Master. You've just returned from your studies and must be tired from the journey. Why don't we do the work and save you some effort?"

"Who told you I learned this from school?" The employer paused in his steps.

"Master, my lord... I misspoke, I misspoke..."

Parker prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, the muffled thuds echoing through the tunnel.

"It's alright..." the employer said magnanimously, placing his hand on Parker's right shoulder.

"Just be more careful next time."

Immediately, he exerted force with his five fingers.

Multiple shoulder bones were crushed at once, and the entire right shoulder collapsed instantly.
