Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 69 The Dwarf's Ransom
"Huh~" Sophia shouted: "How are your injuries? Zate, come here and help deal with it." The girl helped treat those with serious injuries, and asked Zate to reply to the others.
"It's okay, I'll come right away." Zate rushed over to help Nina deal with the injured.
The group once again won the battle without killing anyone - except for a few unlucky ones who bled to death before being treated. But there was nothing they could do about it, not to mention they were the invaders.
Dinefel flew into Zate's treatment range and slowly healed himself. Potions alone were not enough, but fortunately he was no longer considered a human at all.
[Well, the co-authors are all alive, I was thinking...] Karin put away some of his weird ideas and began to help others clean up the battlefield and deal with the wounded.
After finishing, Sophia wanted to clean up the battlefield to see if there was anything worth collecting. But Nina didn't let her search for the enemy's loot: "Let them go back intact, so we can tell their generals that we have no ill intentions."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Sophia nodded and continued to deal with post-war matters.
"That's what I said, but I still feel very uncomfortable." Carlin said.
"It's really uncomfortable to be tied down." Dinefel echoed Karin.
"Okay, think about it better, aren't we being wanted? It would be troublesome if we offend too many other countries." Sophia comforted.
"I hope this war can end peacefully." After finishing his busy work, Zate glanced at the sky.
"It's difficult." Sophia didn't think the war would end soon.
At this time, a dwarf enemy woke up and shouted, "Don't kill me, I can redeem myself!" It is a common content in novels that some officers redeem themselves after becoming prisoners, and other dwarves are very tough.
"Good guy, I can definitely save your life, but how are you going to redeem yourself?" Since he couldn't be killed, Carlin decided to play with him.
"My eldest cousin is a blacksmith in the nearby Guzhuo Town. I deposited a few gems with him and let my brothers go. They are all yours." Now the disdain in the eyes of the other dwarves turned into
Moved.
"Okay, okay, since you are so proactive, they will also pack it for you, right?" Karin pointed to the other dwarves, and then looked to see if Nina had any reaction. "But please give it to us.
Can you lead the way?"
Nina was still busy treating a seriously injured archer. After thinking about it, Karin decided that there was no need to ask for her opinion. [Oh, this aunt is not too lenient, so I pretended not to hear her.] He
But he didn't plan to continue asking. After all, he didn't force the dwarf. There was no reason to let him go, not to mention that he could let him go directly later.
"Nina, what do you think?" Sofia looked at the lively side and asked the girl in a low voice.
"Isn't it nice to have some extra income? It was given to us by him, not by us." Nina didn't look back, she was reasonable. If it were Brandon, he would definitely...
"Okay, I can see that they are depressed a lot, so they should be in a better mood now." Sophia planned to reward the escort team for working hard for so long.
[Money is a good thing, but I have to consider my companions. Isn’t there nothing here that can be justifiably crushed!] Even though Karin usually looks like a good guy, he is also a rabbit tribe demi-human, but his life as a mercenary has completely changed.
Got him.
So the matter was settled like this. The group of people let the others go, and then followed the dwarf to Guzhuo Town. It was still the same here, without being overshadowed by the haze of war. After all, these mercenaries launched a ruthless attack to destroy the city.
It's also very simple.
"Finally, I'm back here. It's been such a long time since I last left." Sophia sighed.
"Obviously he came out for a trip, but it seems to have deteriorated. The air without the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood is better." Carlin agreed. He must have preferred to fight against people, and he preferred to deal with monsters.
"In short, peace is the best." Zate doesn't like fighting, especially with others.
Bruno, the clerk of Nishichuang Trading Company, was walking towards the unloading carriage at the entrance of the town with a basket of fresh apples, and he happened to see you. "Hello, Miss Sofia, and Mr. Recchia. Um, didn't Mr. Recchia set off with the army?
?"
"Long time no see, Bruno." Sofia turned to look at Lechia, hoping he wouldn't talk nonsense.
"Hello." Zate also greeted.
Karin became excited when he heard someone ask this question, and looked at the dwarf called Lekia with a playful expression. However, he did not forget to say hello to Bruno.
"It's okay, it's okay, I have something to do and I'll be back first." The dwarf said knowingly.
Bruno didn't pay much attention. "The vice president is in the office. Do you want to go see him? He just brought back a box of good goods."
Sophia did not feel any burning in her magic book. It seemed that Ms. Shirley had solved the source. After all, it had been almost two years.
"Well, let's take care of our affairs first and come to visit him soon. Is the vice president busy now?" The magic weapon in Sophia's hand was very useful, and she wanted to thank him in person.
"No, you're not busy. Just come back in a quarter of an hour." Even though he said that, Bruno went to work.
"Then, let's take our leave first." Carlin was always polite.
"It's not convenient for so many of us to go together. Richard, you go hang around here and eat some delicious food. Take it, if you don't have enough, ask me to get it. If you find anything good, let me know.
"Sofia gave Richard five linseys and asked him to take the brothers for a walk and have something to eat. The big men went to drink in a big way.
This dwarf is a chatty guy, and his clan is called Lekia in the common language. Their clan name means rock hammer in dwarf language, and they have been blacksmiths for generations.
Then this guy likes to read novels written by humans, and insists on forcing his family to join the army. When he arrived in Guzhuo Town, he wanted to be a mercenary, but the army was so easy to leave. This was great, he ransomed himself.
Presumably the army has to thank his clan.
The four of them and Nina followed Recchia to his eldest cousin's blacksmith shop. This guy was very rich, so he went directly to his eldest cousin and took five gems of different colors, one for each person.
These gems are used to enchant equipment. As decorations, they can only be considered average, but if you are short of money, they can be sold to adventurers or mercenaries in need.
Yellow corresponds to the earth element, red corresponds to the fire element, purple corresponds to the thunder element, light blue corresponds to the water element, and purple corresponds to the dark element, which is negative energy.
"Now we don't owe anything to each other. You also know the vice president of the countercurrent trading company. If you have any forging orders, you can contact me. I am also an enchanter." After that, the eldest cousin went back to blacksmithing.
, Lekia also followed suit in embarrassment.
"Okay." Sophia put the gems away. "Okay, let's go to the Countercurrent Trading Company. I guess our things should be stored there."
"Yeah." Zate nodded and followed Sophia's footsteps.
"I wonder if there will be something new this time." Karin was looking forward to it, but Dinefel and Nina were much more silent.
The five of them saw Grand in the office, who was drinking Great Ape Espresso and had prepared five more cups, and they became interested.
"Long time no see, Mr. Grand." Sophia smiled slightly.
Grand saw the holy flame, the magical weapon in Sophia's hand. "Miss Sophia, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Are you good at using the weapon?"
"It's very easy. You helped me a lot. Thank you very much."
"Come, come, everyone, take a seat." The wooden chairs and sofa prepared were enough for all five people to sit down in front of the wooden table.
Sophia put the Holy Flame aside and found a seat to sit down. She tasted the familiar taste and finished the previous packet. "It still tastes great."
Zate sat next to Sophia, holding a cup in both hands and slowly tasting coffee.
Dinefel picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee with his human-skin prosthetic hand controlled by psychic powers, and immediately fell in love with the taste.
Carlin swallowed the fragrant coffee, moved his chair back a little, and listened to Sofia and Grand chatting.
As for Nina, she huddled further away than Karin, holding the coffee in her hand and not knowing whether to drink it or not.
"Really? Well, nothing happened recently. The situation in the empire is very stable, and most hidden dangers have been eliminated in the rainforest. Why didn't Alexander and the others come?" Grand asked.
"They went to Bakato, and they have other things to deal with." Sofia felt it was time to contact them again.
"I just came back from the city inside Endigon, and I brought back a lot of new things, which you may like." Grand smiled heartily.
"Oh? What's there?" Sofia's interest aroused, and of course Carlin's too.
"Go and see for yourself later. They are all at the counter. There is something called a protective stone that is really powerful and cheap. I think it can be used by all adventurers and mercenaries to increase the survival rate. This
After one batch is sold, the next batch will be promoted. If you want to try it, you can be the first to buy it at half price." It sounds like Grand really thinks this thing is good.
"Okay. By the way, we just got a few gems and haven't decided what to do with them yet. I want to know the approximate price of these gems and whether to buy these diamonds?" Sophia took out the gems and diamonds she just got.
.
"Diamond, this thing cannot be used in weapons and is not easy to sell. But it is very expensive as a decoration, also called diamond. I heard that nobles use diamond-encrusted rings to propose marriage, and they can also be sold. But the transportation fee is relatively high.
, the preferential price also requires 30% of the transportation fee. Well, it also costs a lot of money to manage the relationship with the nobles, and the forces in Endigon have not had much contact with the nobles." Grand frowned, and it seemed that he had done so before.
