Chapter 41: Venis
Because the divine power had attracted the attention of many people before, the bones had spent a few days consciously controlling the output of the divine power on the armor, and after practicing to send and receive freely, they said goodbye to a group of aliens and continued their journey.

Under the cover of the identity of mercenaries, they took on some bodyguard and escort tasks along the way, and they hurried with one mind, and pursued a low-key and low-key along the way, but they went out of the country and entered the neighboring country Mikada.
The relations between the four countries in the Holsius continent are very poor, and there are often wars on the border, but there are no restrictions on the movement of mercenaries and civilians between each other. Because of this, they were not troubled at the border at all, but only paid a part of the entry tax, and smoothly entered the country of Mikada.
Mikada's Ash feels completely different from his ears.
If you have to describe it, it is that the people here are more disciplined and have a more relaxed life than the people who have ears.
Even in small towns on the border, Ash can see laid-back people gathered in twos and threes to chat, drink tea and chat.
In its ears, the people are fierce, and they often draw their swords against each other when they disagree, but in the country of Mikada, even if the people here quarrel, they use this to be more elegant, and the weapons and nothing will not be brought to the surface at all, they will secretly stumble on you!
If Ear Rongla is a ruffian, Mikada is a ruthless villain in a gentleman's skin, and when you don't know it, he will make you fall hard.
Refueled in the border town, the Ash and the group continued on their way, arriving at their destination a month later, Venis, in the eastern port of Mikada.
Venis, known as the City of Water, was originally a small town built next to a large lake, but as the years passed, the geology and environment changed. caused the lake to expand and eventually submerge a small part of the town. Many people abandoned Venisia and left their homes, but many more were reluctant to leave the town where they had lived for generations, and gathered the strength of the people to build high foundations under the water and build houses at level.
And with the development of magic, the number of people increased, and the size of Venisia gradually increased, after years of change. Gradually, it has formed the current one, interspersed with large rivers and bordering domestic canals.
To the east of it is an inland sea. Connected by long sea lanes, straits and the outer ocean, this inland sea is the largest natural harbour in Mikada.
The Ash had entered Venis with a large chamber of commerce and other mercenaries escorting the caravan. At the time of parting, Simon, the leader of another medium-sized mercenary group, gave him kind words and advice. Let her be careful in Venis.
This water city looks like a tourist city, full of youthful enthusiasm, but in fact, it is a gathering place for aristocrats! Even if they are so poor that they have only one name left, it is definitely not something that they commoners can offend!
Ash modestly thanked Simon for his advice, and then took the bones to find an inn and settle down first.
They had a lot of gold on them. Some of them were earned from scattered quests along the Bone Trinity, and some were inventory from the Grey and Black Crystal Ring. However, they didn't expect that the accommodation fee of an ordinary small hotel in Vinis would be so expensive, and a single room would cost a silver coin a day. It's two or three times as big as an average town!
Bone Eleven, who is in charge of finances, groped in his pockets with some heartache and bargained with the boss. In the end, it was sold for six silver coins and three copper coins.
The boss was a little reluctant, after all, this Venis is golden. If it weren't for the fact that these mercenaries were wearing good armor, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them.
Actually, according to Ash's original idea. As long as she returns the family coat of arms of the woman who was tortured to death in the dungeon of the Imperial City of Erjunhra to her father when she passes through Venis, she can leave Venis directly and continue north.
But the bones, who had been on the road for four months, were the first to strike, and he rested on the bench of the Mercenary Guild, his head slammed on the table, his hands drooped, and he looked tired, dead or alive.
Curious fingers poked at Bone One, who was pretending to be dead, and Bone Nine and Bone Eleven stood together and laughed, and their armor trembled.
"One, what are you doing here?"
The bones have always conveyed the request, but they have not had an easy time for nearly half a year, and every day is either spent in a hurry, doing tasks, protecting caravans, escorting goods, and even going in and out of the town or something, almost not stopping.
Anyway, it will take some time for Ash to find the owner of the coat of arms, so it is better for them to stay here for a day in Venis, so that everyone can relax and relax.
Even skeletons need to relax! It is necessary to combine work and rest, so that the work efficiency will be high!
I don't know if it's because I've been in human society for a long time, or because of the gradual increase in the magic power of Ash Meditation, the IQ of the bones is getting higher and higher, and not only can I feed back to Ash through the contract, but now I can directly use my mental power to talk to Ash in my mind.
At the beginning, he was able to express his meaning clearly, and his tone was pitiful, and at the end he made a handful of snot and tears, which made the little devil rub his stomach and laugh in his gray arms.
Sensing the other bones' intentions, Ash agreed to Bone One's request.
So as soon as everyone made an appointment with the hotel, they immediately scattered around and went shopping.
Bone Three followed Ash and Rush to find out the news of the owner of the heraldic, and asked Bone Two and Bone Five to go to the Mercenary Guild and the Thieves Guild here respectively to inquire about the quest and purchase news.
Bone Three's thinking is very thorough, first of all, their purpose is to go to the barren land in the north of Mikada, the Tiger Clan is one step ahead of them, they need to find out the information of the humans, confirm whether the Tiger Clan has been exposed, and confirm whether they will encounter any danger in the shortest route of their journey.
Secondly, although they are wearing sacred armor, they are always undead creatures, and they need to grasp the movements of the Holy See and try not to clash with each other.
Third, as the smartest of the twelve bones and the brains of the master's subordinates, Bone Three believes that he needs to control the situation of the entire continent completely, avoid getting involved in various disputes, and prevent provoking powerful forces.
In addition, he is also just in case. If he and Ash couldn't find the family of the girl named Lan'er, they might be able to learn something from the Thieves' Guild.
In fact, if Bone One doesn't ask to stay, Bone Three will definitely suggest to Ash. Because of the rapid march along the way, his intelligence has been disjointed a lot, and he urgently needs to supplement new information. Compared with Ash, Bone Three is more from the perspective of the overall situation, and his opinions, many times Ash will refer to it.
Bone One and Bone Eight hooked their shoulders and prepared to go to the bar for a big drink, and Bone Seven, Bone Nine, and Bone Eleven went to the surrounding groceries and flower shops together. Bones Four, Bones Six, and Bones Twelve, then they are ready to look at weapons and equipment.
The bones were finally able to rest, and one by one they stayed in the stables in the backyard of the inn, taking a nap, hooking up with the mare, and bragging about the bragging skin.
Vinis is similar to some of the water cities that Ash has seen in interstellar history documents, both built on water, with countless water alleys and delicate and small arched bridges.
The alley can only be passed by small boats, and many people stand at the bow of the boat, couples hug each other, and travelers point at the romantic scenery and listen to the low voice of the boatman.
Venisia is about to enter autumn, the water is clear, schools of fish occasionally pass through the moored boats, bringing a little bit of waves, and the fallen flowers and fallen leaves on the street float into the river, floating on the water, accompanied by the small bridge and flowing water, and bring out a trace of elegance in the whole romance.
Shuttling through the flow of people, you will hear the enthusiastic greetings of the vendors, smell the smell of bread, ale wine, and barbecue from the roadside shops, adding a lively flavor to the seemingly peaceful water city.
drooling, rubbing the ashes, flattering and blinking, the smart eyes were like beads containing a bag of water, crystal wet, conveying his emotions to the ashes unreservedly and clearly. Ash rubbed his head slightly dotingly, and took him to buy a dozen fragrant kebabs on the street.
Eating heavily, two shallow dimples appeared on the little face, overflowing with full happiness.
"Ash, ash eats too!"
He handed Ash a string, his eyes showed anticipation, Ash did not refuse, took a bite of the top piece of roast meat, chewed it, and felt that although the taste was not as good as that made by Aunt Migrena, it also had a different flavor.
The little devil's tail was also curled into a circle, and the saliva secretion was vigorous, and he didn't open his mouth to ask for it, but he stared at the string in Gray's hand with a very greedy look.
Ash smiled and handed the barbecue to the collar, and the little devil immediately stuck out his head and took a big bite.
"Wow! It's hot! ”
Sigma let out a loud shout, but a pair of black pearl-like eyes were shining, and he swallowed the barbecue meat with a swallow, and stared at the gray-eyed waiting for the second piece.
The interaction of everyone was not noticed in the surging crowd, only Bone Three saw the end from the beginning, I only felt that this picture was very beautiful, and I couldn't help but feel that the bones of the whole body were warm and stretched.
He finally understood now what the smile that Bone One was talking about, because even if he didn't laugh at him, he couldn't help but want to smile in such a situation. Although he had no muscles, the emotion of smiling from the depths of his soul permeated his entire spirit.
Sigma was about to swallow the third piece of meat when she suddenly sensed something and wanted to speak, but was almost choked by a mouthful of meat in her throat. Finally patting his chest and swallowing hard, the little devil immediately screamed and said, "Ash! It's a god's soul! ”
"I see the Divine Soul Inheritor!"
"Dark yellow, golden, it's the inheritor of the Thunder God Soul!"
