دانلود رمان انگلیسی “به لطف خدایان” – جلد 7

Two weeks passed after my rescue of Pedro. Fay and I were on our way to Gaunago to meet up with Serge and to visit the Jamil family, but I wanted to take a detour, so we entered a dark forest.
“Sorry for dragging you into this,” I said.
“Don’t sweat it,” Fay answered. “Right now I’m your bodyguard. If you want to visit your old house, then I’ve got no qualms about tagging along. I’m used to treading ground like this anyway.”
I led the way, but Fay didn’t stray far behind. He was quick on his feet and I could tell he was used to walking through nature. That was to be expected from an ex-assassin.
“That’s good to hear. Were you trained in that?”
“Yes, but also, my country doesn’t have as many paved roads as this one does. Roads make travel easier, but they also help enemy soldiers invade the nation more easily. I posed as a traveling merchant and visited many small villages for that role, and it was always like walking through this forest. Only big cities were different.”
That reminded me of how I’d never asked about Fay’s country before. I heard that it was at war and a dangerous place to be, but nothing more. I hired Fay over half a year ago and never even asked him. But considering his former job, maybe it was sensible that I didn’t.
“Would you mind if I asked you about yourself, Fay? I’m sure there are things you don’t want to talk about.”
“I’ll tell you anything you want, as long as you don’t go public with it. You already know I was an assassin.”
