“……Mercenary group?”27f1875d9d0c26a2

The ‘Red Lion Mercenary Group’ was the group the player belonged to before the original story began. Although it wasn’t mentioned often in the game except for the beginning, I played the early parts so many times that I remember the name clearly.9028d6626ccbb2b0
