Read the full text in our reader

Homens mercenários que vendem a sua liberdade, consciência e vida por um salário, não têm dedicação verdadeira senão a um objeto, o dinheiro; seu senhor, seu chefe e seu amigo é o que mais lhes paga. Fr. Ângelo conhecia o coração humano, e por isso apenas iniciado no regimento da banda, avaliou do caráter dos aventureiros.

The setting

Mercenary men who sell their liberty, conscience, and life for a wage have no true devotion except to one object, money; their lord, their chief, and their friend is whoever pays them most. Fr. Ângelo knew the human heart, and so, barely initiated into the band's rule, he had gauged the character of the adventurers.
