Chapter 24 departed with the caravan

For the next two days, Monia didn't go to Siyi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although it was just a guess for her that Siyi was a god, the little mage didn't plan to gamble on her illusory luck, and if she really saw the gods, she could only pin her life on the likes and dislikes of the gods.

Monia didn't want that to happen, and she had a headache for the ten-year agreement. The little mage was never a man of his word, nor did he intend to be a broken promise, but he was just taking an unacceptable risk to meet the little girl who lived in the temple area.

At one end of the scale, emotion is at the other end, and between emotion and reason, the scales rise and fall and fluctuate – and Monia is no different. The little mage thought about this question for a long time, but still did not make a choice that would convince him.

I'll talk about that later.

In the end, the little mage became an ostrich: Ten years anyway, isn't it?

In the past two days, because she was afraid of meeting Siyi, she did not go to the temple area, but soaked in the Great Library of the Holy Rose. The City of the Holy Rose is one of the most important cities in central Mastan, and the library here naturally has a special section for spells, but it costs five Mastan silver coins to transcribe each spell.

Of course, if you are genius enough, you can also study directly in the library. However, this kind of genius did not appear in Monia's memories of this life, at least. In the study of spells, Monia was already considered a genius, and it only took a day or two for an ordinary low-level spell to figure out the structure, which was enough to throw an ordinary mage a few streets away.

Monia didn't have much silver on her, only about twenty Mastan silver coins left, some of which had to be spared, and Monia ended up copying only three spells. Affected by the previous battles, all three spells are short-syllable chanting spells, and they are: Trapping, Glare, and Soth's Healing.

The healing technique of the subsidence technique and the healing technique of Soth are low-level spells, the subsidence technique is a certain range of underground collapse, which can provide great help to group operations, and the healing technique of Soth is a rare healing spell of low-level mages, although it is much worse than the immediate effect of divine art, but it can effectively help the mercenaries relieve pain and speed up the healing of wounds after the battle.

As for the glare, it was a self-preservation spell prepared by Monia, and the rank was just a trick, and it was not lethal at all. However, if this spell is used when the warrior is close, it can burst out with dazzling light in an instant, at least making the mid-practitioner lose the vision of the three-breath time.

In fact, Monia still wants to copy more spells, but the money consumed by the spells above the middle level is something that the shy little mage in the pocket can't bear, and the low-level really practical spells only exist in the secret legends of various schools, and it is not easy to find three spells with such a high cost performance.

Time is always not enough.

When the sun rose again, Monia knew it was time to leave.

The little mage sitting in the carriage moved out of the city little by little with the traffic, and the temple area gradually disappeared from her field of vision, and finally, Monia sighed and never looked back.

"Goodbye, Siyi."

Behind him is the pure white castle that is gradually moving away.

Almost at the same time that "Swords and Roses" left the City of Holy Roses, in their expected next resting point, the "Perfume Beauty" of one of the largest chambers of commerce in the southern city of Aniji, old Jill was anxiously waiting for the summons of the president of the chamber of commerce.

Old Jill was not old, just about thirty-five or sixteen years old. He has always been a veteran of his qualifications, having worked as a traveling merchant for fifteen years. Ever since he left the remote southern mountains at the age of 20 for the bustling commercial city of Aniji, he has longed for a rich city life, and little by little he has begun to take advantage of his status as a southerner to become a traveling merchant in both regions.

This has been done for fifteen years, during which there have been losses and profits, and now it is only a little bit close, and he can use the wealth he has accumulated to apply for the glory of the citizens of Aniji, settle in this prosperous dream-like city openly, and then take root.

But things don't always go as planned, and Jill takes a gamble in order to gain the honor of a glorious citizen before the birth of a child. He buys a large number of apples from his hometown in the southern mountains, and plans to ship them to Anigi to sell, and if the trade is successful, he can earn enough Mastan gold to keep his unborn child on his head high.

Unfortunately, this trip failed.

He lost everything, lost more than a dozen years of accumulation, and lost the least credibility as a businessman.

All he has left now is his old face, his pregnant wife, and a large debt from the "perfume beauty". This debt is not astronomical, but it is also a huge debt that requires years of hard work to pay off the principal.

Honestly, he'd thought about running away, he'd thought about dying. However, he couldn't let go of his wife, and he couldn't let go of his unborn child. If he just let go like this, his debt will definitely fall on their mother and son, and what this means to their mother and son is self-evident.

He is not a good father, nor is he a good husband, he can't keep his wife and children out of poverty, but he never wants to be an irresponsible father and husband, even if he risks this life, there are some things that must be shouldered.

So, here he comes.

"Look, old Jill is here."

"I heard that his goods were lost in the southern mountains, what is it called?"

"It seems that a virtuous wolf worshipped as a god by the mountain people ate and wiped his apples clean."

"It's a fantasy that wolves will eat apples!"

"I don't want a better reason either."

"More than ten years of reputation have been ruined."

He could hear the chatter of the merchants around him, and he knew that many people didn't believe his reasons at all. It's just that what does it matter, what he has to face is not these traveling merchants at all, but the Chamber of Commerce, as long as the Chamber of Commerce can reduce part of his interest, today's trip is worth it.

"Perfume Beauty" is his old club, and there is still some friendship between them. Even if the more important thing for a businessman is always profit, the friendship between them can give him a little room for relaxation.

After waiting for about thirty mushas, the beautiful waitress of the Chamber of Commerce informed him that it was time for the President of the Chamber of Commerce to receive him. The president of the Chamber of Commerce, Avisky Lehman, is the son of the elder Lehman, 23 years old this year, and has only taken over his father's business for three years.

Ivesky is the most orthodox Mastani, it is said that his ancestors are of noble Mastani blood, he is tall, with naturally curly blonde hair, bright and not melancholy blue eyes, always dressed appropriately, and every movement shows the elegance of high society.

"Mr. Jill," the young businessman motioned for him to sit down, clasping his hands together and leaning forward, "you are one of the earliest partners of our Chamber of Commerce, and you have made outstanding contributions to the development and prosperity of the Chamber of Commerce for a long time. But you should know that the most important thing for a businessman is profit, not friendship. It is true that we have had many pleasant cooperation before, but this time your failure has caused us a huge loss to our chamber of commerce, which is unacceptable to us. ”

"I know, Mr. Ivesky." Jill nodded, "I failed this time to run the business, and I have dissipated all the tangible and intangible wealth I have accumulated in my life, and I am now worthless except for my rich experience, and I can only beg you to give me a chance to repay." ”

"Our 'Perfume Beauty' has always been a humanized chamber of commerce, you have helped us a lot in the development of our chamber of commerce, we give you two choices." The young president of the Chamber of Commerce said, "The first is the most direct, you use your caravan to pay off the debt, we lack an experienced caravan, which can be said to be one of the most fatal shortcomings of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ivesky." Jill shook his head helplessly, "This condition is unacceptable to me, my business group is the result of more than ten years of hard work, and it is also the foundation of my foothold, if I can, I don't want to hand them over, I hope you can understand." ”

"I can understand your feelings for the caravan." The young chamber of commerce president nodded, "So we have prepared a second set of plans, you and your caravan will work for us for three years without pay, and cultivate a caravan that is enough to shoulder the development of the chamber of commerce, and after three years, the debts will be cleared." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Jill accepted the offer, which he actually took advantage of, and it was not difficult to repay the principal of the debt in three years, but the point was that the debt would roll over over time, eventually rising to a terrible height, "willing to serve you." ”

"I'm glad we got to a consensus, Mr. Gill." Ivesky stretched out his hand, broad and powerful yet delicate, "May we work together happily." ”

Jill accepted the other party's kindness and shook the friendship stretched out by the other party hard: "Happy cooperation. ”

"Actually, we're going to trouble Mr. Jill to get out of Aniji." Ivesky smiled, "This time the destination is the hinterland of the kingdom, the commercial capital of Nieman, a little far away, but I believe that Mr. Jill will be able to complete the task successfully, but one thing to note, this time the cargo was ordered by Sir Rozka, and he doesn't want anyone other than his servants to know about this shipment, understand?" ”

"Do you mean employer consignment?"

"Pretty much, I don't dare buy or sell such goods," he said meaningfully, "I'm a serious merchant." ”

"I see." Jill had roughly guessed what the so-called goods were, and after all, there was only one thing that the only regular merchant in the South did not want to take, "So, when will I go?" ”

"Now." The young president of the Chamber of Commerce clapped his hands, and a young beautiful waitress stepped out from behind the curtain, "Help me to invite Mr. Romus, and tell him that everything is ready to leave at any time." ”

"By the way," he said, turning to look at Jill, "Mr. Jill, I have a very important piece of information here, and the reason why I invite you to join me this time depends a lot on that. Then, word for word, he said: "Rumors suggest that 'Casero' is planning to do something to us. ”

"I see." Jill understood the danger of this trip and nodded, "I'll ask for the best mercenary group." ”

"Alright, Mr. Jill." Ivesky's serious face was replaced by a cynical smile, "Let's wait for Mr. Romus, who is a close man to the sir, and whether we can gain access to the commercial capital depends on how much he will do it." ”

"I see."

It was probably the day Jill said it the most, as he was already aware of the change in his identity. However, for the old merchant who is nearing middle age, this is an acceptable price.

In any case, the wife and children should not be burdened with debts.

In any case, it is necessary for the wife and children to be able to hold Aniji up and be a person.

This is the most modest hope of a father and a husband. For this, he is willing to give everything.

Even if it's dignity, even if it's conscience.
