Chapter 20 Delivery
After a good exchange with me, Balai finally said it all.
This life is highly profitable, but it is also risky, first of all, you have to beware of the inspection of the Imperial patrols, if you catch it, you will die! Secondly, there is a group of ...... around the royal city Robbers, that's pretty much what it means, in short, it's black and black, and it's easy to rob the goods, and Balai finally recommended me what he thought was the best job...... From the royal city to the attached city, these two cities are next to each other, the two are just separated by a mountain, and it is enough to travel for two days, so that the time is enough, so I accepted it so gladly.
That night, I took the address given by Balai, looked for it, came to a small alley in the royal city, stopped in front of a dilapidated wooden door.
"Bell, bell!"
"Who?"
"Pick up the job. ”
Barley told me that if I said it, they would understand.
Sure enough, the door opened, and a bearded man opened it for me.
"Alone?"
"Alone. ”
"Come in. ”
I followed him inside, and when I got inside, I was a little confused.
Before I came, I thought that the people who were doing this kind of secret trade were a group of fierce and vicious, meaty-faced people, and their dens must have entered the kind of people who drank and ate meat, but now I see a completely different scene.
"Brother, you can help me take a look, I don't understand this part of this book. ”
"I'll show you...... Well, that's right. ”
"Brother, look at this paragraph, I understand it correctly. ”
......
The people inside were holding books and discussing with each other, which instantly reminded me of the cram school in junior high school.
This...... What's going on?
"Don't be surprised, boy, we're like that, no one can do this all the time. ”
This...... It's just that I can't accept it for a while.
"Stop, I'll introduce the newcomers. ”
Everyone stopped and looked at us, and I looked at it, and there were four people in the room, three men and one woman.
"Oh, newcomer, then it's brothers. ”
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man dressed in sackcloth walked over, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hello brother, my name is Fenlis." ”
I laughed and said, "Chen Ze." ”
The two of us were standing facing each other, and I could smell the sweat on his body as the wind blew...... It seems that he should be an ordinary peasant.
"My name is Alles. A young man with a somewhat immature face said.
"Just call me a soldier. Another man with his face in the way of covering his face glanced at me and said.
"Hahaha, brother, don't mind, this guy is a soldier in the arsenal and doesn't want to reveal his identity. ”
After the bearded man finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Really, are all the soldiers in the arsenal like this? Hehe, they are all out to do this business, who looks down on whom?
"Soldiers of the arsenal. ”
Bearded: "......"
"Brother, I'll introduce you to the last one. ”
The beard changed quite quickly, and he pulled me to the woman.
Dressed in a dark green and patched dress, the woman was bloated and had a shiny face, and she looked like an ordinary housewife.
"Brother, this is called Hu Erlan, don't look at her like this, she was a medical soldier of the empire before!"
Hu Erlan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's not been for a long time, and I haven't been doing it for many years." ”
"My name is Glarry, I'm a blacksmith, haha!
Looking at this group of people, I was a little confused, this ...... What's the situation? Didn't they all say that they were all soldiers in the arsenal? How could there be anybody? Can this group of people do it? You know, you might encounter robbers on the road, how do you look at these people are civilians, how did they learn magic?
Gari, who seemed to read through my thoughts, pulled me and walked over to the table, which was littered with a few books.
"Brother, you don't have to question our strength, see. Grali pointed to the book on the table and continued: "Every time there is a magic book in the goods, we will read it first, and then copy it down and study it ourselves.
This...... Can it still be like this??
Alles put down the book, smiled at me, scratched his head, and said, "I'm here to learn magic, haha!"
"Alles is a good boy, he will definitely be a general in the empire in the future!"
"Yes, Arles will definitely have a future in the future. ”
"Don't forget us in the future. ”
......
Looking at this group of simple people, I was a little confused, they ...... Don't you know what you're doing? This kind of thing is at risk of losing its head at any time! How can they be like a playhouse?
"Alright, brother, we'll be on our way in a moment, so get ready. ”
With that, the others began to pack up their things and pack the books into a wooden box, and Fenris stepped out of the room and pulled a wagon from the backyard with a cart of straw on it.
"Brother come and help. ”
With that, the two of us lifted the wooden box up and stuffed it into the straw pile.
"Alright, after waiting for an hour, the city gate guard will change shifts, and we will set off. ”
When Galley had finished speaking, he stretched, took a chair, and sat down in the courtyard, and everyone else sat down, except that the "soldier" sat on the side, holding a book that he didn't know what it was.
"See, this person is so unsociable, what are the groups in the arsenal...... Brother, I didn't mean you!"
I smiled and shook my head, and Gary handed me a small chair and I sat next to him.
"Brother Grali, you ...... Do you know that this line of work is risky?"
"Of course I do. Gary smiled.
"Then, there is a risk, why are you still doing it?"
When I finished, everyone looked at me, and then they all laughed.
"Hahahaha! Brother, you're so funny. ”
"Hahaha!
Even the soldiers on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
I don't understand, what are they laughing at?
Grali patted me on the shoulder and said, "What about you, brother, why are you doing this?"
I thought about it for a moment, and was about to speak, but he took the first step and said, "Are you in trouble, can't you do this?"
I nodded, and Gari looked at the sky and sighed, saying, "It's like this for each of us, for our own sake and for our families, we can't do this without this." ”
After he finished speaking, the others nodded slightly, and Grali smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, do you know......? I really can't help it, at home, my daughter is sick, but I ...... No money. ”
Grali said, bowing his head, covering his face, silent.
I looked at it with mixed feelings.
Grali rubbed his face vigorously, raised his head, and said, "If you don't have money, you can't see a doctor, and for the sake of my family, I have to do this." ”
Looking at him, I suddenly remembered my family...... I've been in this world for almost two months, and I don't know what happened to them.
At this point, Galley stood up and looked down at the sky.
"Alright! It's time! Let's go!"
