2. Enlist in the army as a small miscellaneous soldier
"Wiken! Diama!"
William looked at Wei Ken and Diama in shock.
It's no wonder that Diama was the only one who joined the army for the sake of illusory wealth. But now, even Weken wrote an application for enlistment and entered the army.
Looking at the two young men in front of him, William's anger was not in one place, and he pointed at his son and scolded.
He seems to think that Diama has broken Wiken.
"William!" Weken hurriedly stepped forward, patted his chest, and said one word after another seriously, "Djeru, money, house, rice." β
I can only excuse myself on the grounds that I want to earn money and live a better life.
William was a little surprised, but finally let out a long sigh.
He understood that all young people would not be willing to live in such a poor country for the rest of their lives.
His son Diama is okay, he has a hotel that he has run all his life, and he has left a lot of wealth. Even if he is an honest farmer, he can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, give birth to several big fat sons, and live an ordinary life.
But what about Weken? What about this young man from a foreign country who did not speak the language? He had no property, no land, no household registration in the kingdom, and even communication was extremely troublesome, and he was not even as handsome as his own son! No girl in the village would take a fancy to him. Now he is still young, but when he is old, he may have to live a bleak life.
Weken didn't know what William was thinking, but he felt that there must be some very rude thoughts in the other party's mind.
At this time, Wei Ken looked at Diama solemnly: "Diama. β
The two shook hands and smiled at William.
Diama explained, and William was relieved.
The two decided to join the army together, and in one unit, it was good to have a care.
Unable to resist the two, William finally had to nod his head in agreement.
Dinner had already been eaten today, but William still asked Aunt Martha to make another dinner, and stopped Wei Ken and Diama, who wanted to help prepare it.
Wei Ken felt that something was wrong, and before he entered the army, a flag was planted on his head.
Jenny and her mother, Aunt McGee, also arrived, to accompany the two young men for their last dinner......
Phew! Unlucky! I'm going to eat even better!
William kills a chicken to roast, Martha makes a large plate of smoked sausages, McGee makes a lot of vegetable salad, and Jenny makes a creamy soup.
With hard bread, this meal was the fourth time Weken had eaten the best since he came into the world. The first time was the night when I was rescued to the hotel, the second time was a festival when I didn't understand the meaning and everyone was wishing each other well, and the third time was when the New Year was celebrated.
But for these, Wei Ken still has some regrets. After all, it's not the world of rich dishes like before, and you can choose from a variety of cuisines and flavors.
Still refusing Diama's invitation to drink, Wei Ken took a cup with some boiled water and clinked glasses with Diama and William.
Tonight, I can't sleep. Tomorrow morning to go to the army - as a soldier.
The next morning, after packing up his belongings, Wei Ken smiled bitterly.
T-shirt, denim trousers and espadrilles printed in English. A string of three keys, and a phone that has long since run out of battery.
There is no such thing as charging in this world...... Although according to the feedback of the system, there may be magic, but I have never seen or heard of it.
It may also be that you can't understand it because you are getting started with a different world language.
Wrap your phone in a layer of parchment, stuff it into your modified jacket pocket, and use a piece of rope to turn the three keys into pendants.
The old clothes, just leave them here.
He took an old gray wrap and wrapped himself in two sets of linen clothes, a hydration bag, and a long blanket, about twenty of Djeru's shriveled money bags.
Then he tied the rope strap on his boots, and Weiken carried the baggage.
Diama was already waiting outside.
Unlike Weken, Diama also has a short knife at his waist, and his riding boots are polished.
If he is a homeless man who is ready to go out, then he is a handsome man who is going to go out. He is like an entourage carrying a bag for him......
"Let's go. Weken nodded, and quickly waved his hand to William and a few of his acquaintances.
After Diama hugged everyone, he finally had an affectionate kiss goodbye to Jenny......
"Don't put any more flags on your head......" Weken sighed, holding his forehead.
Last night, Diama's room also seemed to be full of youthful atmosphere.
tossed in the middle of the night, and I don't know if Diama still has the strength to go to the battlefield...... But Weken clearly underestimated Diamana's nineteen-year-old virginity......
"Trick the dog in and kill it,!" said Wiken, glancing blankly at Diama, who had followed, and made his way with him towards the center of town.
There, it is the place where the army recruits, and it is also the place where the soldiers gather.
Today, this army, which may have more than 430 men, will leave at eight o'clock in the morning.
......
Everywhere he went, Weken was convinced of the phrase "knowledge changes destiny", for example, now......
Although he was a young man, like Diama, he was soon asked to serve as a guard by a young officer with polished armor because he could read, learn swordsmanship, and ride horses.
Even if Diama recommended himself to the officer, someone who couldn't even understand the words...... He was still sent aside to be a small handyman.
Diama was quickly rationed with weapons and equipment, a two-handed sword that looked very sharp at first glance, and a set of cowhide armor that even had a thin copper plate as a heart guard. Even his bag was transported by a special logistics staff with a car......
And when they sat down to eat together, Wei Ken even found that there was jerky in the other party's bowl!
Of course, Diama is very interesting. Even if it wasn't a quarter of a palm's size of jerky, he still cut it in half with a knife and gave it to his partner.
You must go to the battlefield and upgrade your otherworldly language gadgets!
On your own side......
I don't have armor, I haven't seen armor at all, armor doesn't exist or anything, so I can only make do with my own clothes.
He was given a makeshift straw fork as a weapon in his hand, and he didn't know whether he was going to fight or going to fork the horsegrass.
The bag is still carried by himself.
In the case of grain, a piece of thick and hard bread like iron was issued...... But if you don't have water to drink, I'm afraid you will choke to death!
Weken felt that the team was faintly divided into two factions.
The faction, led by the young officer, was well-equipped and ate fine jerky and fluffy bread.
One faction, led by the old officer I had seen before, had about twenty people with neat equipment, and the rest of the equipment was scattered.
"It seems that the time with Diama's partner will not be too long......"
Obviously, if you had to divide the troops into two ways, there was no way for you to be absorbed into that well-equipped team.
I have never studied martial arts, my physique is average, and I don't understand the language...... Alas......
But no matter what, at least now I still enlisted in the army as a new recruit, and even got 50 Djeru as my advance salary.
Shriveled wallet, slightly fuller...... I'm looking forward to the wallet that has gone up~
According to Diama, military pay is settled weekly. A small soldier can have 150 Djeru a month!
And one hundred and fifty Djeru is enough for an adult to live in a month's worth of living in the Shaded Town. As long as he mixes in the army for a few years, maybe the original poor boy can buy a small piece of land and get a daughter-in-law who is passable!
"But that's not my ultimate goal......" Weken sighed.
Gold, the purest crystal, orβthe soul.
The pace of the march was neither slow nor hasty, nor was there a night march. Except for the old officer's side of more than twenty or thirty people who maintained a striking solemn aura, the other four hundred people were a little relaxed.
It took four days. The army passed through a few towns next door that Weken didn't quite understand the meaning of the name, and after a pause to recruit, there were more than five hundred men.
At this time, Wei Ken also ushered in a moment that he had to face.
The team separated......
The young officer and the old officer, each with a detachment, prepared to march in two directions.
When it was time to say goodbye, it was finally ......
