Chapter 34, Emilia

A goblin attack ended so easily. The mercenaries happily talked about the pleasant battle. Everyone was examining the corpse carefully. Greenskins like shiny things, which may be worthless Glass beads or stones, it may be moving gold coins or even precious stones.

"Ah, it was a pleasant battle. No one was sacrificed, and even the few unlucky ones who were injured were only frostbitten. We can start again soon, Ms. Trovik." The mercenaries are very happy, Wirth He took out some silver coins from the goblin, which was a windfall, and he immediately came to the sorceress to report the situation.

"Very good...call Ryan over here." In Wilt's imagination, even if Ms. Trovik couldn't smile, she shouldn't be angry, but the deputy head found that the sorceress' face was pale and her tone was ugly. So Nuonuo retreated.

this woman! Do you think we are not working hard? Or do you think the intensity of this battle is too low? An indignation-like emotion rose in the deputy head's heart. He suppressed his anger and found Ryan who was watching the scenery.

"Can we go?" Ryan saw Wilt coming, so he stopped the conversation with Estelle: "Tell Oliver, I'll be right there."

"No, Mr. Lane, it's Ms. Trovik, she asked you to come over." Wilt said with a shrug.

"Oh, okay." Ryan had to nod: "It seems that our chat will be late, Estelle."

Following Wilt and walking towards the convoy, Ryan felt that the riding boots were very comfortable on the soft withered meadow. He didn't make a move in the previous battle, so naturally he didn't take the initiative to share the spoils. The Kingdom Knight stood there and watched for a long time Scenery: "Do you know what it is?"

Wilt's leather boots made a sound when they stepped on the ground, and the deputy head shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Ryan, I want to ask you a question."

"Please say."

"Are all spellcasters so difficult to get along with?" The deputy head smiled bitterly: "Our Blood Axe always shows the highest sincerity and the best attitude. We try our best in everything, and our mercenary group has reduced by nearly half. , but . . . Ms. Trovik doesn't seem to notice."

"Because the views of your mercenaries may not apply to spellcasters, and the rules of our knights may not be suitable either... I have been trying to find a way of getting along with her that I can adapt to. Does it work well?" Ryan carried the hammer on his shoulders, and patted Wilt's shoulder with one free hand: "We can always find a way to get along, if there is really no way, out of sight may be a way."

"Mr. Ryan said it easily. I have been stuck in the elite middle class for two years. The 35-year-old mark is not far from me. I hope I can break through again one day." Wilt stopped in front of the carriage: " I won't go, please."

When Ryan saw Teresa in the crowd, he found that the sorceress was sitting pale on top of a box of goods. Seeing Ryan coming, she subconsciously wanted to stand up, but her eyebrows immediately tightened. Wrinkled tightly, his face was very ugly: "Lian, it's not good, I~"

"Are you injured?" Ryan asked curiously: "Can goblins hurt you?"

"No, the situation is not good, Ryan, my one... came suddenly!" The sorceress stretched out her hand to cover her lower abdomen, her voice was full of pain: "Damn, why at this time."

"What's coming?" Ryan thought for a moment, his face changed slightly: "Isn't it?!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Teresa was obviously enduring the pain with all her strength: "It may be... caused by the confusion of diet and magic power for a while..."

"Let me hug you!" Ryan's expression was not good. The sorceress and him are the only two high-level combat powers. Once the staff is reduced, the consequences will be disastrous.

Teresa didn't refuse this time, she obediently let the man reach through his armpits and legs, let him carry her into the carriage,

Leaning on the carriage and panting, the whole person looked uncomfortable: "Sit with me for a while, okay?"

The carriage started, and the caravan continued to set off. Seeing this, Ryan also leaned against the other side of the carriage. The man put away the smile he always had before: "Do you often do this?"

"We Jialan...often like this...because after the magic power enters our body, it will...also change our cycle of things like this. If we don't take care of it well, it's easy for this kind of thing to happen." Teresa Clutching his stomach, he half-lyed down in pain: "It's okay, it usually takes a day to endure, but..."

"only?"

"It's just that my pants are dirty, and I may not be able to change them myself." The sorceress looked at Ryan for help: "You..."

"I'll forget it, I'll find a female mercenary to help you." Ryan got up a little embarrassed, and left the interior of the carriage. Teresa looked at his back, her eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Ryan stepped out of the carriage and opened his mouth and said loudly: "Are there any women in the caravan? It's fine if it's a woman!"

A large group of people in the caravan were shocked, and everyone began to whisper.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ryan, the famous knight of the kingdom, to be this kind of person. In broad daylight, he wants to..."

"And I still plan to go directly in the car..."

"Not only in the car, but also in the moving car, wouldn't he just like this?"

"And as long as it's a woman, Mr. Lane has such a strong taste!"

Ryan's forehead was covered with black lines, and he had to add: "There are patients here who need to be cared for."

Only then did everyone stop talking about it.

After about ten minutes.

Ryan brought a woman into the carriage where the sorceress was: "Teresa? There is only this woman in the whole team, let her take care of you!"

A slender woman with beautiful blond hair came in cautiously. She was wearing a very simple mercenary costume, brown leather armor and yellow linen clothes. To the sorceress's relief, the female mercenary It's pretty tidy.

But after she raised her head, Teresa felt a burst of disappointment. Her face was full of pockmarks, her small eyes and high nose bridge made her facial features look uncoordinated, and her appearance could only be regarded as average. posture.

"She is?" Teresa asked casually.

"She is a mercenary from the Bloodaxe Mercenary Corps, her name is Emilia, and she is the only woman in our caravan. Let her take care of you during this time." Ryan nodded and was about to exit the carriage.

"Wait!" Teresa stopped him: "Why do I feel like I haven't seen her before? Is she really a mercenary from the Bloodaxe Mercenary Group?"

"Really, she is usually responsible for cooking and laundry, and she is also doing well in medical treatment, and she can wield a thin sword. According to Wirth, her level is not bad. In short, you change your clothes first, and we will talk about any problems later. ’ Ryan added.

Even after repeated explanations, Teresa still looked at the female mercenary with mistrust and scrutiny. Her eyes seemed to sweep over the female mercenary, especially after sweeping her face, especially In Leisa's silver pupils, the light of arcane light kept flickering. Under her gaze, the female mercenary named Emilia was very reserved, and she seemed to be retreating, wanting to back off.

"Well, she stays."

Ryan got out of the carriage and rode to Wilt's side: "Mr. Wilt, that female mercenary, Emilia? I don't think I've seen her before?"

"Emilia? Yes, she is indeed a little... Not very conspicuous, do you know how she joined our mercenary group?" Wilt said.

"Appreciate further details."

"She joined our mercenary group about two years ago. At that time, she was picking wild vegetables in the wild, and she looked very lonely. Then a few bandits noticed her. Our mercenary group happened to pass by, and Boris rescued her." She, we didn't plan to take her because her swordsmanship is really weak, and...the mercenary group doesn't really need this kind of woman, I think Mr. Lane understands what I mean." Wilt gestured.

"Then why did you let her join again?" Ryan crossed his arms, and he became interested.

"Because she is literate and knowledgeable, she easily found out the loopholes in the contract we signed with the local businessman, and then helped us negotiate with the businessman, and she can cook, and also knows a lot of medical and bandaging skills, and Can make some simple herbs, so after she showed these talents, even though her swordsmanship is not good, we don't have much opinion on keeping her in the mercenary regiment." Wirth told Ryan the ins and outs of this female mercenary , Then thought about it and added: "It's ridiculous to think about it. At that time, I was still firmly opposed to the one who joined the mercenary group, but now, even I have to admit that she is an indispensable part of our blood axe. member."

"Interesting, but you haven't thought about her origin? Why would a woman who can read and write pick wild vegetables in the wild?" Ryan asked curiously.

He is not worried about Theresa's safety. The sorceress' powerful magic power is not a vegetarian. She has N ways to protect herself. The strength of the female mercenary has been confirmed by Ryan, but it is only at the level of ordinary rank.

"Emilia said she was the daughter of a bankrupt businessman. There are many such people. It's not surprising, is it?" Wirth raised his right hand, palm up: "War always brings disaster, even if Without the threat of those damned barbarians and monsters, frequent wars between bandits, bandits, robbers and even lords would easily lead to bankruptcy of merchants. The daughters of these bankrupt merchants were often sold as maids, and they were also capable like It's no surprise that a girl like Emilia escapes."

"That's true." Ryan nodded, which is really not surprising.

The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals. This regulation is fully applicable to the enfeoffment system of the nobles in the main material world. Although the laws of the empire stipulate that disputes between lords can only be resolved through legal means and negotiation. Fighting is still indispensable, not to mention all kinds of robbers, bandits, and monsters. You must know that this world is not an earth with extremely advanced technology. In this world, even the richest territory has at least 50% of the area. It is an uninhabited forest, field, or mountain and swamp. If the lord's army is not strong enough, the farmers will have to worry about farming, because the devil knows if something will suddenly appear in the forest, stream, or even the land by the roadside. Monsters make them lose their lives.

In the same way, any business route has risks, the difference is only that you will meet scumbag goblins or ordinary bandits, or terrible beastman war gangs or even green skins.

In the afternoon, the caravan continued to move forward. At this time, it was not long before winter, and the road surface was completely frozen, and the carriage was moving very fast. According to Oliver, if the snow starts to melt in April and May next year, the road on the Nord side will be It will become extremely muddy, not to mention carriages, it will be difficult for people to pass through, and then many hibernating animals will come out to look for food under hunger, and the trade road will become more dangerous.

"So, in April and May, no businessman would choose to do business with Nord." Oliver finally concluded.

"It's no wonder that every April and May, the price of grain on the market soars. I thought it was because of the problem of grain and grain storage after the end of winter." Ryan complained.

"It's the same. In April and May, the taste of human meat is the most delicious, and the price is also the highest." Oliver said with a smile: "The increase in food is for us humans, isn't it also for Beastmen and green skins?"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yes." Ryan laughed heartily.

"Well, Mr. Ryan, would you like to see Ms. Trovik? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood, I'm worried..." Seeing that Ryan was in a good mood, Oliver immediately made a suggestion.

"Okay, okay, I'll go and have a look."

He'd been hearing Tereza's impatient voice ever since.

"Oh! Stop it, where are you wiping?" "Wait! Be careful, it's made of silk, do you know how expensive it is?" "Oh my God! You idiot, you can't even put on basic trousers ?” “Don’t use this dirty water! Bring me clean water! Clean!!!”

He always pretended that he didn't hear the sorceress' roar. After all, women who have menstrual events can easily lose their temper. What's more, Teresa was born and raised in the Garland Council. She has an independent personality, strong strength, and no temper. It's not normal, so he doesn't want to get into trouble.

Everyone also hid far away, only the carriage driver was still driving the carriage bravely.

In the carriage, Teresa, who was pale, was wearing tights by herself in pain, but she gave up after a while. This kind of black tights is usually not comfortable to wear. In this case, she just needs to pull up the pants a little , The body is a piercing pain.

This female mercenary is clumsy, especially when she tried to wash her with fetched water, doesn't she know that it is easy to get infected? It must be boiled with snow to filter out impurities!

In addition, the attitude of the female mercenary also made her feel uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable. Of course Teresa knew that she was not at home now. This female mercenary could not be respectful to her, but basic respect and politeness must be Yes, but this female mercenary named Emilia kept her head down from the beginning to the end. She didn't even look at her from the end to the end, and then replied with "Yes, I'm sorry, okay" The easiest way to answer.

This made her feel very uncomfortable, both physically and psychologically.

"Okay, okay, from now on, what I say, you do, okay?"
