The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 15 First destination, Elf Village.

Isabella went to the guild first to take the adventurer card so that she could enter and enter the village or city as she pleased, before leaving she had prepared a backpack containing food and money supplies.

"Are you really going?" march asked as Isabella was busy filling out some formality files.

Isabella just nodded without looking at March's face. Then March asked again, "Are you sure you can be alone?" 

"Why do you keep asking? how many times do I have to answer, I can do it myself. After all bringing that friend is too much trouble for me." 

"Is it also a hassle for me?" yuna asked who had just arrived. He gets word from Martini that Isabella wants to go on an adventure, so he comes to see Isabella's face before leaving.

"Will you come with me? I could have brought you. But I don't know if I can hold myself back when I'm with you or not" Isabella's seductive tease that attracts the laughter of all the guild's residents. To them he was the only man who dared to tease the younger brother of a grumpy woman like Martini.

"Don't tease her." March hits Isabella's head with a book in her hand.

Isabella grimaced in pain as she said, "I'm just telling the truth, I'm sure all men would be of the same mind if they were near a girl as pretty as Yuna."

"I'll behead all the men if they dare to have dirty thoughts to my sister" Martini threatened. He decided to leave his room because he could not bear to hear Isabella's voice.

"If you say such a thing all the time, then no man will want to marry Yuna. They'll be scared when they see Yuna because of you" Isabella sneered.

"If that's what you need to worry about, you will be there" Martini replied making everyone there surprised.

"Sister, what are you saying, huh? you're embarrassing me, "sorry Yuna. His face is now blushing like a tomato.

"I leave first, see you later" said Isabella. He just put the file down and ran away as fast as he could, it could be dangerous if Martini really wanted to match them both.

Isabella's first destination was the village of the elves, Isabella had always wanted to go to this village because she was curious about the original shape of the elves. The trip to the village took 20 days, while Isabella wanted to take it on foot to save some pocket money.

After just 3 days, Isabella stopped at a village for the night before continuing the journey tomorrow morning. As night fell, Isabella awoke from her sleep thirsty, and she saw that some men had brought a little girl into their room.

Isabella did not want to get into trouble during her journey, only she could not stay silent to see how the rotten men were being rude to a child. Isabella also felt that something was wrong, because the innkeeper did not act at all even though he saw everything that happened.

Without waiting for long Isabella quickly took her dagger and broke into the room entered by some of the men, and sure enough the men were there with the little girl.

"Who are you? don't try to interfere!" threaten one of the men.

"Please brother, please to …."

Plaque!

The man slapped the little girl so hard that even the girl fell down because of it, the scene really made Isabella could not hold herself anymore.

Isabella concentrated all her strength on her dagger and then drew the dagger towards the rotten men, Isabella's movements so fast that it was difficult for the men to see her movements. As soon as Isabella stopped moving, the floor of the room was filled with blood.

Isabella did not care about the bodies of the men who were lifeless, she turned around and hugged the little girl and took her to Isabella's room.

Isabella dropped the girl on the bed and then closed the door, she was afraid that later there would be partners of these men to see this girl with her. After that Isabella took the medicine box from her bag and sat down next to the little girl.

"Alright if you don't want to, forgive brother for scaring you" Isabella said again. As he was about to stand up from the bed the girl blocked his hand.

"Please treat me, my face hurts," whined the girl with teary eyes.

Isabella smiled and treated some of the wounds on her face until her hands, after the treatment was finished finally the girl did not feel afraid of Isabella anymore.

"Sister is a beautiful woman. Just like us the elves beauty sister is very step by step," said the girl.

Isabella was shocked to rush out of the room, forgetting to wear her disguise ring. But what makes Isabella surprised is this girl turned out to be from the elf race, Isabella was not aware because the girl's ears were covered with a veil she wore.

After that they talked for a long time together, not long after that the girl could get out of Isabella's room because someone called her. When making sure the girl was really gone and safe with the person who called her, Isabella immediately put on her disguise ring and left the inn at that moment. He did not want anyone to know his true identity during his adventure.

*****

Arriving at the elf village, Isabella was allowed to enter and even live in the village even though many villagers were staring at Isabella with a sharp gaze. They do not seem to welcome the arrival of Isabella maybe because she is human, basically elves do hate humans as much as described in the novel.

Isabella confirmed her identity to a guild before getting permission to a nearby inn. Isabella felt very uncomfortable with their cold attitude as well as their sharp gaze. However, it could not change the fact that Isabella had been fascinated by the appearance of the elves. As a race loved by gods, they were all handsome and beautiful not even a human being had the same face as them.

"Our village is so dirty because of the coming of man. So disgusting."

"He said he was an adventurer and therefore given permission to enter, hopefully he doesn't stay here long."

"We have to be careful or the human can kidnap the villagers again."

The whispers of the elves were clearly heard in Isabella's ears, Isabella felt that the elves did not know how to whisper. They were seen whispering to each other, but the brand's voice was too loud for that.

"You're blocking my way" an upset man as Isabella stopped in front of the stairs.

"Kyaaaa, Fil is here. He is the greatest elemental expert in our village, I still can't believe he's the son of a tribal chief when the chief isn't that handsome my mother said when she was young."

"I wanted to say hello to him, he was so handsome that I got nervous. He'll return my greeting or not yeah."

"The man was blocking the view, he was like weeds in the middle of a rose garden."

The words of the elven girls when they saw the man must be Isabella is indeed true, he is much more handsome than other elf men, even Isabella was stunned when she saw him.

"Don't look at me like that, I can get dirty just like you. Move over!" Fil hit Isabella and just passed by. He went to tease the girls who had been waiting for him.

"He's very arrogant. Regretting the feeling I had been blown away earlier," Isabella's mind continued its steps towards the room she was about to occupy.
