002, the money is scattered and comes back
In the Patch Forest, which is only a few kilometers away from the southwest border of the Principality of Selai Road, an inconspicuous team is moving slowly. There are a total of eleven horses in the team. Except for three or five men with swordsmen who look like mercenaries or wandering swordsmen, the rest are either old men with white beards or weak-looking girls. They all carry a small burden and seem to be on the way of migration.
The leader was a fat middle-aged man, who made him look more funny than serious, but he was actually a guy with no sense of humor at all. He shouted loudly all the way, urging everyone to go faster.
"Hey! Let's cheer up. We have to go to Kruse Fortress before the sun goes down, otherwise we will have to sleep in the wild again! Go faster!"
Yin rode a thin horse listlessly and followed the end of the team. From time to time, the leader was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but he didn't want to lose the bad reputation of the little girl, so he had to leave her alone.
This seemingly ordinary team is actually a special commission regiment that escorts military supplies. In order to avoid being harassed by bad forces such as barbarians and other bad forces along the way, when hiring group members, they are particularly inclined to look for gentle and harmless old people and women, which is also an important reason why Yin can wander around.
And these seemingly gentle and harmless people actually have one thing in common. They are all space magicians - it may not be accurate to say so. Space magic does not belong to the category of standard magic and is not lethal. It is usually used as an auxiliary skill practice, and the requirements for magic affinity are quite low, which can be said to be almost Individuals can learn it, so people who know space magic and only space magic can't be called magicians at all.
Because of its low requirements, space magic has become a means of livelihood for many poor people. For example, like now, you can hide munitions into your own dimension and then pretend to be an ordinary traveler to transport the destination safely. The useless Yin is born with space magic, so when she saw the recruitment notice, she immediately went to sign up.
It's always good to make a living. She thinks so. After all, she can't do anything else.
The practice of Somera can be roughly divided into three categories, magic, fighting spirit and space-time control. Among them, magic is divided into elemental magic, dead spirit magic and healing art. Fighting spirit has different rules according to the use of swords, bows and guns. Space-time control is the simplest and most common of the three, and there are not so many complex. In the miscellaneous division, there are only four skills: time freezing, teleportation, dimensional opening and emptying. In addition to the high demand for magic affinity for time freezing, the other three can be learned by anyone, just because of different effects of personal ability.
It has been three months since the incident of knocking down the prince. Yin wandered all the way from Jinqi City to the vicinity of the border. On the way, she relied on helping people feed horses, washing dishes and other rough meals. At first, she felt that the three meals of the common people were difficult to swallow, but now she can deal with it calmly - after all, she is no longer the eldest lady of the Galo family. .
"Hey! Girl, don't linger. Be careful that the wolf will eat you when it's dark!" The leader's angry shouts pulled Yin back to reality, so she had to shake the reins to keep up with the pace of the team.
A kind-hearted young woman looked at Yin's slender arm sympathetically and said, "She is still so small that she can't bear so much load." Although everyone can learn space magic, the load amount and load distance are strictly restricted by their own ability. In other words, if you carry a lot and go far, the consumption of your own energy will also increase. In everyone's eyes, Yin is just a slender little girl, and the materials that load a container are really It's hard for her.
The leader stared and said, "She didn't say anything herself. What are you talking about?"
Many people showed a dissatisfied look, and some people whispered nothing more than the military's stingy transportation fee and was reluctant to hire a few more people. Seeing that the leader's face was getting worse and worse, she quickly came out to round up: "I can still hold on. Thank you for taking care of me like this. Life is forced!"
The leader's face looked a little better, and he said to her in an unkindly tone, "Woman, if you really can't stand it, tell me earlier. Don't drop the chain halfway. It will be a misunderstanding." Yin nodded quickly to make sure.
Just as the sun was about to go down and everyone was about to walk out of the forest, the thieves who robbed materials still appeared. Originally, you could think of hiding diamonds in the barnhills to fool others, and others would also think that there would be diamonds where there was a barnhilles, which itself was the two problems of dialectical unity. The leader pulled out his sword and led the three or five swordsmen to fight against the barbarians, but the number of people was so different that they were all caught alive in the end.
Yin sat in the barn chewing a straw. Everyone in the company was called in turn, and then never came back. It seemed that he couldn't stand the torture and handed over the things. The leader, who had always had a bad temper, also understood that people had to bow his head under the eaves and did not say anything to blame.
"Little girl, come out!" The door of the barn opened again.
Yin patted the straw on her body and walked towards the door with an indifferent face. The young woman who had been interceding with her before looked at her worriedly and said to the thieves, "Don't..." Before she finished speaking, the door of the barn closed mercilessly.
The thieves took Yin to a wooden house. There was a man with a single eyepiece sitting at the wooden table by the fireplace. His hair was black, but his beard was snow-white, so it was difficult to say how old he was. The man drank hot cocoa, raised his jaw indifferently and said, "Other people have handed it over. You are a little girl and can't stand those sticks. Hand them over early. I won't embarrass you."
"Do you promise?" Yin looked around the wooden house, and there were indeed many wooden sticks as thick as her own calves, which were really dead and disabled.
The man sneered, "What's good for me to kill you?"
Yin nodded, took out a bag of gold coins his father stuffed for himself before leaving, and threw them on the table: "It's too heavy for me to carry."
The moment the man saw a bag full of gold coins, his face was different, and then he doubted: "Each of them carries a large amount of military supplies, but you only keep a bag of gold coins? I can't say it."
Yin replied very sincerely, "Don't you think they all take too much? Because each of them helped me share some of it. I just learned space magic. I can't do it halfway. I'll give them some, and I can't walk again. I can't walk again..."
The man waved his hand impatiently: "Ok, okay, you can go."
Yin said, and asked again, "Well... Thank you, my commission this time has been ruined. Can you let me take a gold coin?"
The man laughed contemptuously and didn't want to look at her more: "Take ten. Don't let people say that Jereman bullies children."
Yin happily took out ten gold coins from the money bag, then put one back on the table and bowed solemnly: "This is one-tenth of my assets. Thank you for letting me go."
At this time, the man finally looked at her with a little new eyes. He looked at her through the monocular and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
Yin took back the remaining nine gold coins into the dimension, waved the door and went out: "I'll tell you next time we meet!"
Out of the wooden house, Yin asked the way to the city and went straight to the Kruse Fortress.
Kruse Fortress is the border city between the Principality of Cerro and a small country of Beria, and it is also the destination for this escort of military supplies. Yin relied on herself to make a living all the way, and she had never touched the gold coins given by her father. Now she has handed it all over in order to survive. Naturally, she has to find a way to earn it back. As an aristocrat, she knows that the problem of losing military supplies can be big or small. If someone wants to embarrass herself in the future, she may be sentenced to a military felony, so she must not hand over supplies to save her life like others.
What's more, it was not someone else who robbed the supplies, but the Jerryman...
"Sir, a little girl said that she had to give it to you in person with important military information." The door of the headquarters was opened by the non-commissioned officer. Hatton, the commander-in-chief of the Kruse Fortress, unexpectedly put down the war report in his hand, thought for a moment, and ordered, "Bring her in."
In this world where space magic is ubiquitous, the body search is of no value, so Yin was politely invited into the reception room.
Hatton sat on the sofa, and there was only a cup of black tea in front of him. Yin rolled her eyes in her heart and knew that he didn't even mean to ask him to sit down. He simply didn't beat around the aristocratic etiquette. He directly opened the dimension and dragged out the quarterly supplies with a container weight little by little.
Hatton and two non-commissioned officers stared at the slender little girl lean into the dimension, dragging out a sack of oats, a box of magic potions, and throwing out some quilts, towels, socks and other things. They were so tired and sweaty, and almost fell into the dimension. Finally, Pour out all the supplies you carried.
"This..." Hatton felt that his brain was a little insufficient. "What are these?"
Yin rolled his sleeves and wiped his sweat and explained, "This is a small part of the military supplies sent from Gillette last month. Let's make do with it."
Hatton is about to faint: "Are you from the special commission? What about the others?"
Yin smiled and said, "I'm sorry, they have handed over their things to the thieves in order to save their lives, so they dare not come to see you."
The corners of the commander-in-chief's mouth twitched. He really couldn't believe that the little girl in front of him would be the only one in the regiment who successfully transported the supplies, but what is the so-called important military intelligence?
"Oh, by the way, I also brought an important message. Mr. Jerryman asked me to greet you for him." Yin answered his questions in time.
Hutton was so angry that his head smoky in an instant: "That guy again! He has robbed three batches of our supplies! How can someone have a special problem with his motherland? What on earth is he thinking!"
Yin said helplessly: "That's all I brought. Is it time to talk about remuneration next?"
Only then did Hatton realize that he had lost his temper. He coughed and regained his serious look: "You have done a good job. Although you don't have much, your spirit is worthy of praise. On behalf of the Kruse Fortress, I thank you."
"Thank you, I don't need it. What about my reward?" Yin stretched out her hand and hooked, "The original reward was five gold coins, but there was a danger on the way. According to the mercenary law of the Principality, when the life of the mercenary is threatened, the commission this time should be doubled, that is, ten gold coins. In addition, the reason why I can keep this batch of materials is that I sacrificed a piece of my personal wealth. I don't remember the specific number, but two hundred gold coins are definitely indispensable. You know, I'm Jia..." I almost spilled my mouth.
Hatton's head was congested when he heard 200 gold coins, and the unnatural pause behind him did not listen to it. Yin's secret was barely preserved.
The gods are on the top, 200 gold coins! The supplies she sent are only worth 200 gold coins!
But the interests of the army are the highest, and Hatton can't refuse, let alone question whether she really lost 200 gold coins, so she had to order her 210 gold coins painfully, and then go back to her room to take antihypertensive medicine.
