The logistics supply team from Mukuso City successfully arrived at Selia Village, and the first batch of logistics supplies was also transported to the Yezipias Manor.
The carriage could only travel along the dilapidated mountain road to the village of Selia. The rest of the journey relied entirely on the transportation of the logistics department personnel before it arrived at the Yezipias Manor. In fact, even without these supplies, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment
You won't starve either. The manor has abundant food and material reserves, and they have not refused to provide them to the heavy armored infantry regiment.
Gulitem placed a yellow sheep that was dripping oil on the bonfire. The bearded Edgar squatted beside the bonfire and asked Suldak: "What should we do next?"
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in the camp seemed very relaxed. They had white bread and broth for dinner, and everyone was celebrating the victory.
Suldak scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying to Edgar: "The heavy armored infantry regiment still needs to be stationed here for a while. This stronghold of the Black Magic Monastery will have to wait for further inspection by the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group."
Check it out, you stay and look after the scene here."
"I have to go back early to handle official business in Ruit City and will leave tonight."
Edgar didn't expect that Surdak would rush back to Ruit City at night. Hearing Surdak's arrangement, he could only order.
As the leader of the heavy armored infantry regiment, Edgar the Bearded must stay here.
Sitting in front of the bonfire, Surdak glanced at Aphrodite sitting in the shadow not far away and said to her:
"Aphrodite, you have to stay this time too..."
His main purpose of leaving Aphrodite here is so that he can rush here through the Void Gate at any time. After all, there are still many uncertainties here.
In the past few days, Ruit City has accumulated a lot of official business waiting for him to handle. As the city's governor, Surdak cannot continue to stay here.
This time when he returns to Ruyter City, he will also take away a large amount of precious materials that he captured.
In addition to confiscating magic materials and the Tree of Desire, Surdak also found some magic books in the cave of the Black Magic Monastery Research Institute.
Among these books, Surdak selected some basic magic books to take back, but none of the books on black magic were touched. There were also some books on religious beliefs. These books were left on the bookshelf because there were still more books to follow.
There will be magicians from the Magic Guild Law Enforcement Group coming to take over, and everything cannot be emptied.
"Thea, you come back with me this time!" Suldak said.
Thea rolled her eyes. Although she was reluctant, she had no reason to refute.
Although the two of them are traveling together in name, Surdak actually only needs to let Aphrodite end the summoning circle before he can return to Ruit City through the Void Gate, while Thea can return to Ruit City the fastest.
The only way is to ride a magic harpoon over the mountains in the abandoned mining area.
Thinking about riding a magic harpoon and flying all night against the night wind, the Naga Mermaid would not be very happy.
Although he was reluctant, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
…
Aphrodite wears a mithril mask and behaves like an alchemist with a very weird temper.
In the camp, almost no one dared to talk to her.
She walked back to her tent, and Naomi was sitting quietly at the door of the tent. She was wrapped in a thick cloak and had a hood on her head to cover her face, hiding in the shadows.
If you hadn't gotten closer, it would be hard to spot someone sitting in the dark shadow.
Aphrodite sat down next to Naomi, and they sat side by side.
Naomi smelled faintly of antiseptic potion.
Aphrodite turned to Naomi and asked: "Have you thought about whether you want to join us? In fact, I think you should join us, at least life will not be as embarrassing as it is now..."
Naomi remained silent for a long time before saying in a metallic voice: "I want to stay here. Selia Village is a place I am familiar with. I don't want to go anywhere except there..."
"Since you insist, I respect your decision." Aphrodite said.
Naomi opened the hood covering her head, revealing a skinny face that was almost covered with bones. She stared at Aphrodite in surprise.
"Suldak has told you before, we are not a magic union, and we have no discrimination against people like you. As long as you do not violate local laws, you can always live here, but no matter what, you will
Beware of the ordinary people around you. These people have been too brainwashed by the Statue of Liberty. Even if they are abandoned by the Statue of Liberty, they still don't repent. This is my personal advice to you."
When Aphrodite spoke, she did not look at Naomi's uncertain face.
"Actually, it's good to go back to Selia Village. After all, it's relatively remote and you won't come into contact with basically any strangers..."
Naomi pursed her dry lips. She did not say in the end that she wanted to stay to take care of old Avi and his wife. Although the two old men and their other children lived in Ruit City, they hoped that they could go.
They live in the city, but the two old people stubbornly do not want to leave Selia Village.
Looking at Aphrodite's glowing mithril mask, Naomi pursed her lips again. She felt that her face had gradually become numb recently.
The degree of corpse transformation in her body further intensified, and she felt that she might not have much time left.
In the last few days, she hoped to hide at home and wait silently for death. She hoped that her body would fall into the mine after her death...
…
In a corner of the camp not far away, Crake's body was lying in a coffin, with two copper plates covering his eyelids and his hands folded on his chest.
It is said that these two copper coins were the cross-river money given to the ferryman when his soul passed through the River Styx.
Although Crake's wife and son were in jail for a while, they were still frightened. The boy looked very thin, with some fear on his thin face.
The woman was sitting at the door of the tent, leaning against the coffin with a numb face, as if she had completely despaired of her future life.
Crake's death was a huge blow to their family. They had three children to support, and the little savings she had in hand couldn't hold on for long. Her son would go to the military after he was sixteen.
, the two daughters have to be raised for many years, and two dowries have to be prepared for them, otherwise once they are arranged to marry a homeless man in the town, the future will make people feel even more desperate.
In this day and age, how can you get married without a dowry?
Once the news of Crake's death spreads, the woman will be arranged by the town's census officer to remarry, and the new family doesn't know what it will be like...
She felt a little chilly and pulled the blanket tighter around her body. She looked at her son beside her and stretched out her arms to hold him in her arms.
The two of them just cuddled each other, and the night in the mountains seemed very cold...
