The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 33 Achlys

Isabella was shocked when she found out that the beggar was Luca Alfie. What the hell happened to him? how could he end up like this? and how did he get to this place so far? there are so many questions that Isabella wants to ask. But he had to save Luca first, it was hard to believe that Luca was with him.

"You say things like that because it's not your business. Don't feel great just because you're the sister of …."

"Shut your mouth and stop babbling. Take this!" Isabella threw a small bag of money at the man, "The price of this bread is 2 gold pieces, right? in that pocket are 10 pieces you just take as charity money from me."

After saying that Isabella threw the bread in Luca's hand right in front of the owner, "That bread is not even worth your hands. Come on!"

Isabella pulls Luca gently into her residence, upon arrival she gives the cake and tea that Callix brought to Luca. Luca ate all the cake voraciously even he was willing several times because it was too greedy, he looks very funny at this time.

"Is there still?" ask Luca. His stomach is still rumbling.

"Wait a minute!" Isabella went to the kitchen for a long time, then she returned with a tray of rice and side dishes.

Luca also ate all the dishes greedily. After eating a few portions he was finally completely full, not forgetting Isabella asked him to take a bath and gave her men's clothes to Luca.

After everything was done now was the time to ask all the questions that came to Isabella's mind, she was afraid to make Luca uncomfortable. But Isabella could not accept Luca at this residence, if she did not have enough explanation to keep him.

Luca recounts all the bad things that happened to him after he knew all of Zelene's decay. Zelene kills Sean and makes the murder look like an accident, she plays the saddest person for Sean's death and makes Luca the baddest person for not coming to Sean's funeral.

In fact, Zelene locked up Luca after she found out Luca had secretly gone to see Sean, even after inheriting all of Sean's wealth and peerage, Zelene still hurt Luca physically and mentally. As Luca decides to flee his home, he regrets giving his father's title and fortune to the cruel woman Zelene.

Because of his folly in the past he has now become a beggar. But he escaped not without purpose, Sean who asked Luca to find Isabella to the rabbit guild as well as ask for protection from Isabella. He'll be safe from Zelene if he finds Isabella Sean said.

Unfortunately when he went to the rabbit guild, the guards did not allow him to enter because he was a beggar. Luca was forced to surround the village for several hours and steal bread because he was too hungry, he did not know to be grateful or not because his decision to steal had brought him to Isabella.

"Please accept I'll be anything, so slaves can too. I have nowhere to go to if you don't accept me or I don't find you. I have decided to commit suicide, there is nothing left for me in this world. You probably won't accept me because I've been rude to you before" Luca said. He clutched his clothes tightly.

"Why not just form a team? you can be together because you are a team. That way you can be near Allred, and Allred doesn't have to hurt you or her."

Yuna's words yesterday re-emerged in Isabella's mind. Should he form a team? looking at Luca's condition now, Isabella feels that it is possible that Luca will do something bad if not supervised or Luca could immediately run away if Isabella rejects him. Why should I be in such a difficult position? thought.

"I can't accept you as a slave. What if you become my friend and join my team? I have a plan to form a team, there are 3 more team members besides me. Do you want to?" ask Isabella.

Luca's eyes glazed over and the sound of his crying broke, Isabella did not know what caused it. But Isabella could not ignore Luca, for the sake of comforting Luca he hugged the 15-year-old man until he could calm down a little.

Isabella finally left her own residence, and went to the rabbit guild to confirm the formation of a new team. Of course Isabella had said that to Aisnley, Bara, and Phil. They were happy because in the end they were able to stay beside Isabella, and all that was thanks to Luca's arrival.

"Team building? then you have to make a new identity card" said Isela. He was a worker at the registration desk.

"No problem. It just so happens that we are not permanent members in any guild" Bara replied to his team.

"Well, what's the name of the team leader?"

"Bara Jourell, he is a diamond-level mercenary knight as a 35-year-old weapons expert" Isabella replied.

"Eh! why is he the chairman?" ask Aisnley and Fil in unison.

"alright. That's what you want" both answered.

"Who is the representative?" ask Isela again.

"I'm vice. My name is Allred a gold-level mercenary knight as a weapons expert. 20 Years old."

"First man, my name is Fil Harith. Not yet ranked as an 18-year-old elemental master."

"Second member, my name is Aisnley Blossom.  Not yet qualified as an 18-year-old poison master."

"Last member, my name is Luca Alfie. Not yet ranked as a 15-year-old master potion expert."

Everyone had said the identity needed to become a team member, they just waited for his identity card to be completed.

"Well, what's the name of your team?" ask Isela. This is the last and most important question.

Isabella was silent because she did not think about the name of this team yesterday, even she formed this team in a hurry it was because of Luca.

"Allred, do you have a name?" ask Bara. He noticed the anxiety on Isabella's face.

"The name Achlys means darkness. That's a pretty good name, right?" ask Isabella and be approved by the others. In fact the name of the team was the name of his own team in his previous life.

From then on the Achlys team became very famous, many other paid knight teams were disinclined to all of them. 

Isabella's team runs many missions at night, which is why the name Achlys fits them so well. No one dared to oppose Isabella's team after the many teams that died in the hands of Isabella's team, anyone who dared to oppose his team would have a terrible end.

"Do we still have another mission request?" isabella asked Phil, who was in charge of recording all the requests that came to them.

"There's one request from our guild leader, March. Helping in the border wars, the rabbit guild lacked people and he felt that we had enough to cover the lapses" Fil replied.

"At least we have to vacation first, it has been 7 months that we work non-stop. What if we go home first?" Aisnley.

"Go home by yourself if you want, just get out of the team. It's free if there's a weak man among us" Fil sneered.

"Fil's right. Anyway if I go home I don't know where to go either" Luca added.

"We just run the request from March, after that we will hold a vacation from work for 2 full months" said Isabella.

"alright. If you're on vacation, Luca will come home with me. The people in the elven village will take you well" Fil said, making Luca happy.

Isabella actually wants to take a vacation right now and immediately prepare to move house. But he must join the war this time to save Martini. Not only that, in the later war he could also earn a lot of money.
