Chapter 10 After-effects

"Will we, too?" Lalu's little face was quite excited at this time!

"Although there won't be much information compared to us, the other party definitely knows that there is a warrior monk with good strength and a dwarf warrior." Barrett nodded.

Claudia. Auditore deliberately yawned and said, "And then we two people who have no sense of existence are automatically ignored?" ”

"Monuments to the Unknown Soldier are everywhere!" Barrett patted Claudia. Auditore's shoulder comforted. But then the whole carriage became quiet. And a few of his companions looked at me, I looked at you, and finally they all cast puzzled glances at Barrett.

Faced with the sudden coldness, Barrett patted his forehead, "Okay! It's true that no one remembers that kind of thing anymore. But you always know the unsung heroes! Historically, there have been many people who have driven social change and technological progress, but only a few have been remembered in the end. The rest are naturally unsung heroes. ”

"The reason why they are unknown is because they don't belong to the best group!" Speaking of which, Clematis. Bot glanced sideways at Barrett, "Aren't you just scolding us for not being good enough!" ”

"It's not just a question of whether you're good or not, it's also about division of labor and luck." Speaking of this, Barrett almost reached out to knock Clematis. Both's head, "like a member of the secret front, naturally it is impossible to be exposed to the sun and enjoy the admiration of the world." And those who are unlucky die too early and are not able to make a name for themselves. So it's normal for you to be unnoticed by the enemy when you're doing auxiliary work just now. Because of this, if you encounter a horse thief next time, the two of you may be the key to turning the tables! ”

"If you offend someone, you come to pat yourself, don't you think it's a little late now?" Claymatis. Bot was clearly still awkward about what had happened before. Of course, this may also be a deliberate manifestation of her embarrassment to admit her mistakes.

"I've always told the truth. I will not give you false evaluations for any purpose. Barrett, who said this, shook his head slightly, "Klimmatis, your divine explosive power is still good, and it can completely affect the local front when necessary." The prayer technique of the Three Rings can provide effective help to the team on a large scale. Although the magnitude of that kind of improvement is not large, it is important to cover most of the camp in terms of range. In a medium-sized battle like a horse thief, it is completely capable of influencing the outcome of the battle. ”

"That's right! I can now use the three rings at level 5. "Speaking of which, Klematis. Bot nodded, "But I've never prepared for the Prayer Technique. Its amplification effect is really a little small in terms of the three rings! ”

"Although the enhancement is small, who can let them improve more aspects! Not to mention covering an area larger than a fireball, it can improve your allies while also weakening enemies that enter the area of influence. "Speaking of which, Barrett naturally wants to give Clematis. Bot saved some face, "Of course, the prayer technique is used in a team like ours, and many times it is really not strong enough. But you have to think that this time we are facing a group battle, as long as the timing is right, it may not be impossible to turn things around. ”

"Isn't this spell the same battlefield route as the Raven Stream you mentioned earlier?" Claymatis. Bott suddenly felt his eyes light up.

Barrett also showed a teachable expression: "It's not just the battlefield route, if you encounter a large group of small enemies around you, it will also have a miraculous effect." As for the words of the white crow. It is indeed battlefield flowing. But there's a lot more out there that can be used in adventures just as well. It's a pity that my level and trick list are limited to ......"

The White Crow, the Steel Soul, and the Iron Heart are known as the Three Imperial Families of the Nine Swords (it seems to be the name of a baboon). However, Barrett is now limited by system limitations, and the tricks he can master are limited. So there has to be a choice of trade-offs. Most of the moves of the White Crow Flow are coordinated by team battles, and the effect that can be played in the adventure is actually relatively limited.

Of course, if someone's team is full of warriors, barbarians, cavalry, etc., that can also work well. It's a pity that the composition of the first team of the Bloodstained Gray Flower Mercenary Regiment is not like that, so Barrett can only choose according to his own needs, and temporarily abandon most of the White Crow Flow moves that are suitable for the battlefield situation.

Rielly immediately grasped the key to Barrett's words: "So your influence on the battlefield now is actually mainly manifested in the single cavalry breakthrough rather than the leading command. ”

"So to speak! But at the time of the charge. The rangers who followed me were able to perform better. Barrett then turned his gaze to the True Master, "As for Claudia, you. Don't say anything else. Intercepting enemy horses with inertial clashes alone can make a difference. The next time you have a chance to focus on well-armed enemies, this will help reduce the pressure on your team. ”

"If you suddenly nail your legs in the middle of the charge, you'll probably fall half to death with your horse!" Claudia. Auditore said with a wicked smile on her face, as if she had seen her next show of the scourge of the horse thief.

"I don't think you should have any opinions!" Speaking of this, Barrett half-stood up, "Then Ellie will be in the next period of time without affecting your experience." Copy more scrolls! Even if you can't use it this time, you can keep it for later. ”

"Barrett, didn't you say that we shouldn't encounter the attackers next?" Rielly frowned as she spoke. It is important to know that copying scrolls requires a certain amount of character experience in addition to consuming materials. The former could be reimbursed through the team's treasury, while the latter could only be paid by Rielly alone.

"That's right." But then Barrett's tone changed. "But you need to be prepared for the worst."

"Okay! I understand. At this point, Rielly reached out and tapped her shoulder, "The mage is really working hard! Why isn't there another producer in the team to share it with me! ”

Early the next morning, Captain Bosey came to Barrett and handed over a money bag: "These are some of your trophies after they have been discounted. The rest will depend on what the captives can sell for in the next tribe. ”

The small flannel money bag is not too big, and it feels light to the touch, and you can only feel a few hard particles. After opening the bag, Barrett poured the contents into his hand, and the four cut diamonds sparkled in the morning sun. Stretched out his palm to Klymatis. After Bot and Noodles, the two professionals immediately nodded at Barrett after identifying them, indicating that there was no problem.

All of this was done in front of Team Leader Bossy. There is no cover-up - it means that they have accepted the offer this time, and there will be no objections in the future.

The saying that there is no treachery and no business is not false, even under the current conditions of cooperation, the other party will often try to make as much money as possible on the exchange of loot. After all, the number of players is limited, and if you want to clean up the battlefield on your own, time simply does not allow it. Another point is that the price of the same booty is not the same on the grassland and inland. In this regard, the caravan can be exploited with a lot of loopholes.

Of course, at present, it is necessary to borrow the strength of Barrett and his party, and the caravan will not squeeze too much oil and water from them. It is precisely because he knows that the two sides still need to be in the same boat, so Barrett doesn't care about the small tricks played by the other party behind his back. At the same time, he also had his own performance, and he made this public so that the boss team leader could rest assured.

Barrett, who had repacked the diamonds, tossed the bag to Klaimatis. Bot then said, "Anyway, this kind of thing still needs to be handled by the caravan, and we don't have a channel to deal with those goods here." As long as it's not too much, we're okay with it. ”

After hearing this, Team Leader Bosi's face showed a complete smile: "We know the rules, don't worry that you won't suffer." ”

After sorting out yesterday's battlefield harvest, the caravan set out again. And the horse thieves who fell off their horses and were captured, one by one, were imprisoned in the carriage one by one. These guys are as sleepy as oak barrels. There was no concern on their facesβ€”they knew that since the caravan had not killed people on the spot, it should have done things according to the previous rules. In other words, their fate is covered.

For the herders of these steppes. As long as you can survive, the rest of the matter is not so important. After all, it is not easy to survive in such an environment - no matter how much suffering is not unbearable for them.

Fortunately, with the more horses they had taken from the thieves, the burden didn't slow down the team. After about 8 days, the caravan finally encountered the second tribe after entering the steppe. However, compared to the previous tribe, the tribe in front of him is actually smaller.

So at the time of trading. Not only has the normal volume of trade been reduced, but even the captives have not been ransomed. And also on the side of the caravan that took them on the road. Many of the members were in a bad mood - they had to be supervised by no one with them, and they had to be eaten, drunk, and lazard.

Although the caravan provided only the most basic living conditions, it was still a matter of effort in the grasslands where supplies were difficult to obtain. Especially the caravan guys who have been assigned this kind of work, as well as the decrease in manpower and the increase in their workload because of them, will inevitably complain a few words with their mouths.

Fortunately, the days that seemed to be mixed with sand in this team did not last too long. The third tribe, 12 days later, is a powerful force with thousands of herders. Here, in the wagon, the 'spoils' were finally exchanged for all the specialties of the steppe. In the same way, many of the trade goods brought by the caravans were eaten.

That night, Barrett had two more diamonds of the same quality. He watched as generations of spices were exchanged for bundles of animal skins. Stretched: "Clematis, tell me how much the caravan can earn if this trip goes well." ”

"If my estimate is correct, after deducting the cost of hiring a guard, as well as other expenses on the road, as well as taxes. The caravan can probably earn nearly 8,000-9,000 gold coins! "Claymatis. Bot looked at the natives around him, "I don't know what the salary structure is inside the caravan. So in the end, it's not up to me to figure out how much the organizers will be able to take. ”

"8000-9000 gold coins? That's pretty good already. Barrett touched his chin as he said that. If it weren't for the hiring of adventurers, this income would have increased by 30 to 40 percent! ”

Don't look at these eight or nine thousand gold coins, compared to the players' previous gains, it really can't be regarded as a lot of money. But that's the norm in this world! For a medium-sized caravan, the amount of money that can be earned on a high-risk trip is enough to satisfy them. The small caravans that go back and forth in the country make even less.

On the other hand, because of the unique power system, the value of magic items remains high. And powerful professionals can easily obtain the same wealth as ordinary people have accumulated in their lifetimes. However, as Barrett said before, whether it is the treasure clues provided by the two ladies, or the game of Ulrique, they are all available but not sought. The material gains are likely to drop sharply in the future.

"Yes! Who let the horse thieves run rampant here! If it hadn't been for the fact that they had spent so much money to strengthen their material resources, they would have been swallowed by horse thieves before they were halfway through. At that time, not to mention the loss of money, the pension of one's own personnel is also a big expense. The mage who suddenly walked up to the two of them had a not-so-obvious bag under her eyes - the bumpy carriage during the day made it impossible for her to finish copying the scrolls, so she had to fight at night.

Although it was a reasonable arrangement so that she would not be affected by the preparation of daily spells. But copying scrolls in not-so-good light also puts a certain burden on the mage. But Rielly is a very stubborn person, and since she has promised Barrett, then she will definitely complete the work she promised.

"By the way, Barrett, why are you asking this?" Comedy coming back to his senses. Bot believes Barrett must have a deep meaning in asking such a question.

Of course, Barrett didn't intend to hide anything in this regard: "It doesn't seem like it will attract too many horse thieves." And with the current background of this caravan, there should be no materials hidden in it that are inconvenient to disclose. Unless the other party's main goal is our ......" (to be continued......
