"Hiring child labor? No, I hired humanoid weapons."
When the cold-blooded businessman Langvald was betrayed by his guards and left to die in the Warcraft Forest, he met a blond girl who was tearing apart the skin of a diamond bear like paper. She can't speak or read, but she can kill dragons and demons with a knife; she was despised as a "monster" by the town, but her eyes lit up for a cup of honey and hot milk.
"With a daily salary of one gold coin, I will hire you as a bodyguard."
Smart businessmen eye this cash cow. He taught her how to dress and read, beat her oppressors for her, and sold the magic stone for three gold coins at a sky-high price - but he woke up in the middle of the night and found that the girl was curled up beside his bed holding gold coins, with complete trust reflected in her sea-blue pupils.
When wanted posters for national subjugation were plastered all over the city walls, he realized that the "wild child" he had picked up was actually the legendary savior hero with ice eyes who killed gods; when the enemy's blade cut the girl's throat, he pulled out the noble sword that had been dusted for ten years.
"Tool my employees? Pay liquidated damages first - pay with your life!"

Not bad, but in some paragraphs it is completely unclear who the subject is, and the names of you, me and him are a bit confusing.
A very good book. I look forward to the follow-up. The characters are also good.
