Chapter 140: Remuneration

When the sun rose, a huge tent was erected in the open space where the wedding robbery ceremony had been held the day before, and the flags of the caravan fluttered in the wind at the top of the tent.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the surrounding nobles to gather at the castle yesterday for a wedding, Aubrey approached Marquis Schmidt, who had stayed up all night because of the demon's appearance, early in the morning, and obtained a slip to set up a stall outside the castle for a day after paying the taxes first.

It was only then that Charles remembered that the Bud guy had escaped, because Artoria had never had a chance to feast at the wedding reception last night.

And this morning, Bard had already taken his bride and set out on his way back to the royal capital, escorted by a group of Praetorian Guards and knights.

In the main tent, exquisite goods from the northern prairies and the sea of elven trees were placed on the shelves for the nobles to choose, and Aubrey was busy haggling with these lords.

Outside the tents, the caravans with their bootlegged goods set up their stalls in their free time, and their main customers were knights and freemen.

Even Alfred, who was a guest of the caravan, borrowed tables and chairs with his mother's encouragement, found old parchment and pen and ink, and started a letter writing business.

In this place where literacy rates are impressive, ghostwriting and reading letters is a business that pays well.

And Charles was scared away by those ladies and ladies in the morning, because of the bottle of beauty last night, those who are crazy for beauty are still quite terrifying.

It took a lot of effort to escape the chase and interception, Charles and Artoria ran to the open space outside to bask in the sun, the weather is a little cold now, and they feel warm in the sun.

The two of them lay on the grass, and Charles asked Artoria if she had had a relationship or two during her three hundred years of working in the Rurik Kingdom.

As a result, Charles didn't hear the expected gossip or something, and all he got was a brain crash.

Soon after, Elizabeth came over as well, and she flipped Charles over like a salted fish, and then punched him a few times on his glutes. She was also annoyed by the women who wanted to buy beauty water.

Elizabeth also lay down on the grass, even using Artoria's abs as a pillow.

"Whew......," Elizabeth exhaled deeply, "I haven't been able to lie down so comfortably for years." ”

Artoria stroked Elizabeth's long silver hair, "You used to like to lie like this when you were as tall as Charles, and you were really naughty back then. ”

"I remember one year you put the gunpowder in the Demon King's cigar, right?"

Although the warm sun was shining on his body, Charles began to break out in a cold sweat at this time, he was afraid that Artoria would blow up Elizabeth's black history a little more, and he would be killed.

"At that time, you were still so small, and in the blink of an eye, you grew so big. Artoria sighed there.

Elizabeth rubbed Artoria's abs with her head, "After so many years, you are still so young, Auntie. ”

This time, the Dumb Hair King did not beat Elizabeth, but said: "You are not young anymore, it is time to think about the major events of your life." ”

"No hurry, no hurry!" Elizabeth quickly shook her head, "Let's talk about it in a hundred years." ”

Then she said, "Auntie, don't you think about finding a biological partner?"

"Forget it. Artoria poked Elizabeth in the face.

Then Elizabeth suddenly said: "Look at our family Charles, he is still young, you can raise him to be what you like." ”

Charles, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, didn't expect that he was really lying down and was shot, and hurriedly said: "She eats too much and can't afford to raise it!"

"You two masters and apprentices are angry with me. Artoria gave the master and apprentice a brainstorm.

A sound of scolding was heard in the distance, interrupting the leisurely time of the three of them.

A middle-aged man in a tuxedo is whipping a thin figure, and the beaten man is curled up on the ground motionless.

Artoria jerked to her feet and rushed to the scene of the beating.

Elizabeth, who was lifted off, and Charles, who was smiling, watched from a distance as Artoria negotiated with the tuxedo-clad man, and soon returned with the beaten man.

It was a child about Charles's age, dressed in rags, dirty, with scabs on his hair and a pungent smell. The most conspicuous thing on this child's body is a circle of magic lines on his neck.

"I adopted this child. Artoria's words startled Charles and Elizabeth's mouths wide open.

"Okay. Elizabeth smiled, which was very much in line with Artoria's style.

"You help clean her up, and I'll be back when I go." Artoria finished and left.

Now Charles hasn't figured out the situation yet, and a few of them were still talking about the marriage of a girl in their three hundreds, and now the knight of his family has suddenly adopted a child.

"Let's go. Elizabeth held out her hand to the little girl.

The little girl was visibly frightened by Elizabeth's long ears, and she shrank back.

Elizabeth didn't care, bent down and took her dirty hand, and led her towards the caravan's station.

Tonyo, who had no interest in making extra money with smuggled goods, stayed behind at the station, and was startled when he saw Elizabeth returning with a slave child.

Charles said to him, "This is the child of my knight." ”

Donio, who knew Artoria's true identity, stayed there for a moment, and in an instant his brain made up a bloody drama of more than 100,000 words.

Elizabeth kicked the funny Charles, and she said "reward" to Donio, and Donio understood.

Elizabeth asked Charles for a bottle of deworming potion, and then walked with the little girl towards the toilet. From her abnormal abdomen, it was evident that she had intestinal parasites.

Tonyo, who was setting up a pot to boil hot water, said to Charles, who was cooking porridge with Elizabeth's rice: "Some slave estates have a need to ask adventurers for help, and the people who manage the manor will take slaves as payment. ”

Charles was not surprised by this, slaves or something, in the eyes of slave owners, were two-legged animals, and sometimes they couldn't even catch up with cattle and sheep.

After the deworming process, the girl feebly let Elizabeth wash for more than an hour, and after consuming two pots of hot water, she was washed from head to toe and looked new.

"Huh?" Tonyo looked at the little girl who was putting on Charles's spare clothes in surprise, "I didn't expect her to be a martial arts wizard with amazing bones." ”

Charles came over with a bowl of gruel that was stronger than water and handed it to the little girl, who poured a small bowl of porridge into her stomach in two or three bites, and then licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

At the same time, Charles asked curiously, "Is there anything to say about this bone?"

"Yes. "Everyone's martial arts are conditioned by their physical condition, and if you have a good body, you can achieve high achievements." ”

"What do you think of me?" Charles asked.

"What's there for you to see?" said Donio dismissively.
