Along the journey, Hao Ren found out that the young girl, who seemed to be wandering alone in the world, was called Becky. She was a freelance mercenary in her own words.
A freelance mercenary was a military occupation that required individuals to travel the length and breadth of the country. It was quite a common group of people in this world. They had their own organization but, were loosely structured so they were hardly considered as ‘armed groups’. They were active in the society and undertook all work according to their ability. Although Becky did not reveal too much to a stranger, Hao Ren speculated that the group dabbled in everything from murder to finding an old lady’s cat, depending on what the employer paid them for.
