Chapter 19: After the War
The girl breathed a sigh of relief.
[He died. The girl sighed and looked down at the body of the one-eyed leader. She didn't dare to give back control of her body to Xiaowei. The injury on her left shoulder is still scorching, and the girl is worried that Xiaowei will not be able to bear it.
[He deserves it," Xiaowei said, "Those who were killed by him can rest in peace." γ
You're right. The girl replied.
What do we do now? γ
γSpoils of War. The girl said succinctly.
[You care about this for a long time! ] Once again, Xiaowei felt that her concern was too much.
β¦β¦
"Tsk. This time, the internal space is bigger than I thought. The girl took out his dimensional bag from Alexei and examined it contentedly.
"Gold Coins...... That's more than a thousand, right? It's mine. β
"So many scrolls. Xiaowei, you will have a good appraisal later. β
"This is the box where the alchemical potion is stored?"
"Spell books and notebooks?"
"Gem crates?"
Xiaowei was pleasantly surprised at first, but then she was shocked. A high-level mage of the sea of clouds actually has so much wealth? And still take it with you?
[Probably because he is alone, he has always kept his wealth with him. After all, even if you hide the money, who can you leave it to in the future? The girl explained.
[Fortunately, he was defenseless against us.] Xiaowei also pinched a handful of sweat. The appearance of her and the girl was so sudden that the leader didn't even have time to formulate a tactic! Even so, Xiao Wei was still not his opponent, if it weren't for the girl's melee combat to force the opponent, with those scrolls and alchemy potions, the leader would still have a chance to escape.
The girl suddenly took out a crystal clear "glass" ball from the dimensional bag, [Xiaowei, what kind of magic item is this?] γ
[It's an image ball," Xiaowei said, "and it can store a specific image, including sound. γ
[What do you think?] The girl became interested in it.
[It seems that there is a prohibition,] Xiaowei observed for a while, [I'm afraid, the maker of the image ball only wants specific people to watch this video. γ
[Is there a way to ...... "crack"?] γ
[I don't know, I can try.] Although she felt that the girl's words were strange, Xiaowei still understood what she meant, [It's hard to say about the time. γ
[Let's put it up first.] Seeing that she couldn't immediately watch the information in the video ball, the girl devoted herself to counting the loot. She didn't even let go of the leader's broadsword that was knocked away, and if it weren't for Xiaowei staring, she would have wanted to take the leader's gray robe (that's an enchanted product!). Pick it off.
[Are you also a baroness with a fortune of 4,000 gold coins? Xiaowei complained.
[Our opponent is Speaker Nicholas Best!] The girl said, "No amount is too little! γ
γYou......γXiaowei is helpless.
[Lin Na's side should have taken care of it too,] the girl waved her hand, [Although they are some miscellaneous soldiers, they must have captured a lot of things. γ
β¦β¦
When the girl returned to the camp, Linna was anxiously pacing around the campfire. Three people sat at the mouth of the tent: Burns, Adele, and the captive Amy. Adele is explaining everything to Amy.
"You're back," Lin Na said happily when she saw the girl flying from a distance with her wings of flame outstretched, "I want to go to youβwait, what ...... are you carrying?"
"Something happened." The girl said, throwing the body of the "chief" on the ground.
"You're hurt?" Lin Na said suspiciously. The girl looked somewhat embarrassed.
"You're embarrassed to say that I ......," the girl glanced at the bruises on Linna's face.
"It's ......," Burns approached the body. The old man's eyes gradually lit up, and his face could not hide the excitement.
"Yes, it's the 'Chief' himself," the girl nodded, "and he's stronger than I thought." But ......"
Burns burst into laughter. Everyone was taken aback by him.
"He's dead. Adele, Amy, see? This unbeatable fellow, he, he's finally dead! I can't imagine that the old man will still see this day, haha......" Burns was trembling all over. His mouth was smiling, but two lines of tears welled up in his eyes. He repeated the same words in a muffled voice, over and over again.
Long.
Burns regained his composure. He bowed to the maiden, "Please forgive me for my gaffes, my lord. β
"You can vent as much as you want, Mr. Burns." The girl said. Alexei and his mercenary regiment nearly ruined Burns' life.
"All right, my lord," said Burns, his eyes full of gratitude, "thank you for killing him." From now on, whatever adults tell me to do...... As long as the old man can still crawl, even if it is a mortal task, I will definitely complete it for the adults. β
"I'm not going to let you do a mission to the death, Mr. Burns," the girl shook her head, she didn't want someone like Burns to hold an important position by her side, but when she saw the old man's appearance, her heart softened, "Do you have any family?" You can bring them with you......"
"My wife is long gone," Burns shook his head, "and the two sons are nowhere to be found." Adele is my only 'relative'. β
Adele also bowed to the girl and thanked her. She was worried that even if the girl sheltered herself as a baroness and used the mercenary group's all-pervasive means, she could take revenge on her younger siblings...... And now, with the death of the chief, all threats have vanished.
"I have one more reluctant request, my lord," Adele suddenly knelt down on one knee to the girl, "I hope you ...... Take Amy. β
"Oh?" The girl raised her eyebrows.
"She's my best friend, my lord." Adele said.
"Amy, she's from the Great Desert of Okade," Burns said, "and she's a great desert warrior." I can vouch for her character. Her village was destroyed by robbers, and her relatives were separated...... She searched for her relatives all the way, and before she knew it, she had traveled far away, and finally met our mercenary group at the Okad border. β
The girl nodded. She trusts Adele and Burns. There were more than a dozen members of the mercenary group who attacked, but only Amy was the only one who could protect them. It just so happened that the girl wanted Adele to resume her status as a mage, and she lacked a female warrior entourage by her side.
"Amy," the maiden walked into Amy, "will you join me and serve me from now on?" β
Seeing the hesitation on Amy's face, the girl smiled: "Of course, if you have news of your relatives, you can leave at any time!" I'll do what I can to help you. If Amy had agreed to her offer without hesitation, she would have doubted Amy's sincerity.
"Yes." Amy's heart fell to the ground, compared to the precarious mercenary group, it was undesirable to be able to serve the powerful baroness in front of her.
"Then make a simple vow." The girl said.
Lin Na stood beside the girl, pouting.
"You've earned it." When Amy swore allegiance, Linna said.
"I'm lucky," the girl glanced at the princess of the empire, and in less than half a day, the girl earned a total of more than fifteen hundred gold coins worth of loot, as well as three subordinates, "Is there a healing potion?" β
"Yes." Lin Na didn't even look at it and threw the girl a bottle, which was the trophy she had collected from the mercenary mage.
"Why is there only a quarter left?" The teenage girl complained.
"I just knocked Amy unconscious and fed her half of it," Linna said, "and I drank a quarter of it myself." Aren't you just a slight shoulder fracture, and that's enough for the rest. β
"You ......" The girl shook her head and poured the potion over her shoulder.
