The man pinched the gold coin in his hand with his fingernails, and after seeing the shallow marks left on it, he waved with satisfaction, signaling for his men to let it go.
"But..." the freckles, baby-faced, brown-haired soldier couldn't help but say.
"What? Do you want to question the commander's decision?"
In an instant, the man with a gloomy expression turned around and asked coldly.
"But the enchanted weapon carried by this adventurer was not registered..."
"So Fabisio, you are turning a deaf ear to your commander's orders?"
"My subordinates dare not..."
"Are you an idiot? The most important thing as a soldier is to obey!"
The voice of the freckled, baby-faced, brown-haired soldier became smaller and smaller under the bossy questioning of the man who was the commander. At the same time, he lowered his head and secretly clenched his fists, as if he was going to punch the yellow teeth in his mouth the next second.
His mouth smelled of alcohol and saliva.
But he didn't do that. He clenched his fist for a few seconds and then slowly released it. In the midst of the scolding, he apologized humbly to the superior and the girl. His back, which was originally as straight as a gun, was blamed again and again for something that didn't exist.
Make the wrong bend.
The drunken commander was satisfied with the effectiveness of his instruction to his subordinates. He turned around, carrying the pottery pot, and called his colleagues under the shade of the tree, showing off the gold coin in his hand to them.
"It's time for you to go."
The boy-faced, freckled, brown-haired soldier stood up straight and looked expressionless. He glanced at the commander who was enjoying a drink not far away, and whispered to the girl who was still there at a loss:
"Remember, you still have to go to Rebelion to get a certificate for holding enchanted weapons. Not all soldiers in South Rivers are like my commander."
"sorry......"
Shi Junjun felt a little sorry that this soldier who had done his duty suffered such an unjust disaster for no reason.
"It's okay, it's not the first time..."
The boy-faced, brown-haired soldier with freckles waved his hands to show that he didn't care, and urged the girl to get on the road quickly, as there might not be any extra berths in the hotel ahead if she got late.
"By the way, one gold coin is too much as a bribe for this kind of thing. It can be solved with two or three silver coins."
Isn't that the first time in her life that she has taken the initiative to do such a thing...
After walking a certain distance, Shi Junjun looked back and saw that this upright human from another world was still sticking to his post, stopped a carriage and continued to perform his duties.
The girl checked her purse and after excluding the money she had to pay for the trip, what was left was probably worth fourteen gold coins. It shouldn't be a problem to stay in a hotel.
While counting the money, Shi Junjun suddenly felt dizzy.
According to the seasons in the other world, it is almost late autumn now, but the afternoon sun is still dazzling and poisonous.
Probably because of the many emergencies that happened one after another during this period, she never had a good rest.
Coupled with wearing a wig and using a long adventurer costume to cover up the jacket underneath...the exhausted Shi Junjun found that he had symptoms of suspected heat stroke.
Heat stroke outdoors is not a trivial matter...especially since she is in another world.
"I seem to have heatstroke..."
As she said this, the girl tried to move herself to the shade of a tree by the roadside, but the degree of heat stroke seemed to be more serious than she imagined. It was difficult to walk the short distance of more than ten meters, and there was a buzzing in her ears.
There were tens of thousands of bees flying around, making people upset.
Shao Wei seemed to be saying something in the earphones, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
Shi Junjun remembered that he had brought Huoxiang Zhengqi Water to him before, but it seemed that he had left it in the Goblin Village while packing down his luggage to avoid exposing his identity.
The girl, who was sitting on the lawn with her back against a tree trunk, took off her outer world adventurer costume and touched the pocket of her jacket. It was empty, probably because the idiot hadn't found any medicine to relieve the heat.
...
No longer able to open her eyelids, Junjun was thinking wildly about whether she would burn out her brain and become an idiot like Shao Wei, when she suddenly felt that the light in front of her was blocked by something, and then a refreshing chill spread from the top of her head.
When my limbs were covered with bones, I suddenly lost all sense of heat.
"It's really rare for a magician who can't use ice magic, water magic, or wind magic to make himself faint..." The gentle female voice who spoke first sounded very helpless.
"As an adventurer, I fainted after eating poisonous wild fruits in the forest and was eaten by monsters. This kind of embarrassing death for my grandma's family is not unrecorded in the guild, right?" A male voice that sounded a bit joking continued casually,
"It feels almost as weird as being eaten by a monster after having a heat stroke."
"Aren't there a lot of weird ways to die among fledgling adventurers? But judging from the magic items this person possesses, they should not be available to novices."
"Maybe she is the rebellious daughter of a rich man... Huh? The fabric of this dress looks quite special..."
"What are you doing? What are you doing?" The girl with her arms folded across her chest sat up and shrank back with a wary face, "Who are you?"
There was a man and a woman standing in front of Shi Junjun, and they both looked quite happy after seeing Shi Junjun wake up.
The tall, burly young man with brown hair and gray eyes on her right side, holding a spear, retracted his hand and scratched his head awkwardly: "Just wake up. I just saw that the texture of the clothes in this room seemed to be quite special, and I wanted to touch what material it was."
..."
"We don't mean any harm. We just came here after seeing you fainted under the tree and looking very uncomfortable." The gentle female voice on the left, wearing a sophisticated sky blue robe, with the same hair color and eye color as the male companion nearby, explained.
, "Did you faint from the heat just now? Do you need some more ice magic?"
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Jenny, and this big guy's name is Karl. We are both local adventurers from South Rivers."
"Thank you for your help." The girl breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that they meant no harm. "My name is Shi Junjun."
"Huh? It doesn't sound like a local name. Are you from somewhere else?" Adventurer Carl asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, I came here from a very, very, very far away place."
Shi Junjun knew the consequences of not receiving timely treatment after a heat stroke, so he was extremely grateful to the two adventurers from another world who came to help.
The latter replied nonchalantly that being adventurers means helping each other. When they heard that Shi Junjun's destination was also Rebellion's Adventurer's Guild, they immediately said they could go together.
But Karl and Yanni... When Shi Junjun walked side by side with these two people, he couldn't help but wonder why these two names sounded so familiar...
