"Don't you guys feel any doubt?" Violet felt the unfolding situation was somewhat baffling.
These guys were mercenaries, do they not care about money?
Tell anyone this and you'd probably be laughed out of the room, what a joke!
If mercenaries had enough money, they could obviously do other stuff, like setting up small businesses, or becoming traveling merchants.
Anything would be less risky than being a mercenary.
Yet they weren't, these guys seemed to care more about their integrity.
"Doubt?" It was now the mercenary captain who looked puzzled, he didn't understand what Violet was implying.
At this point, Violet had completely misunderstood their intentions.
This small group of mercenaries might be powerful, but they respected the unknown, and that respect for immense, unknown power, defined their principles.
They were not explorers, willing to risk their lives to discover the mysterious unknown in the forest.
