Volume 2 Storm Chapter 33 The best healing medicine
I was thinking of taking advantage of the past few days to get to know the countries on the Teyva Alien World continent, but Xia's proposal came at the right time, at least, it was also a good choice to learn about the ethnic customs of the orc country Aztec.
Anyway, it's a few days away, and it's not bad to go out, I don't know what the Aztecs are like." ’
"Tomorrow morning? It's not safe to go down the mountain at night", Koichiro thought about it for a moment and said, "You can make a list when you have time tonight." ”
Thea was overjoyed, the light in her eyes lit up suddenly, and she finally had a chance to repay Lord Ernest for taking her in, "Okay, okay, then I'll go and prepare tonight." ”
With that, Xia also picked up the last watermelon with a small thin wooden skewer and stuffed it into Hangichiro's mouth with lightning speed.
"Ah~~~", Xia showed a satisfied smile, and the fruit bowl she brought over had been wiped out.
Successful feeding again!
"Huh? Watermelon seed ...... "Shia saw a small black dot on Hanichiro's lips that she had inadvertently touched just now.
"Well, hey, ......", there is no chance to resist.
Koichiro was embarrassed, and he felt that he had become a ruthless eating machine.
Although Thea's feeding came unexpectedly, after such a toss, Hangichiro's troubles just now disappeared by nearly half.
"Thank you," said Koichiro, who swallowed the last piece of watermelon.
"If only Benefactor-kun could like it, tomorrow, see you tomorrow!" Thea, who said this, was cautious and didn't want to show it directly, so in the end, she blushed and ran away with a fruit plate.
'What's wrong with Thea's face......
--
At night, Hangichiro simply packed up one or two robes, and also brought some dry food, and a simple burden was ready.
Although the Aztec country is an orc country, the security is very good, and most of the orc civilians are simple and kind, and they make a living from farming, all thanks to the fact that several Aztec city lords are in charge of governance, which can be regarded as a governance strategy similar to that of the European Union.
'Then you don't have so many coins, right?' Thea said that she had received enough money from Lilith to buy supplies for the tavern, and Koichiro counted some of the coins he had gotten from the old Holler Warrens house.
Although the memory was erased by Lisa, the god of thunder, and she forgot what she was doing when she went to the old mansion, some of these coins scattered on the ground of the old mansion castle were brought back and well preserved.
The coins of the Tevatan continent are universal, so they can be used in both the Gaiabrand Empire and the Aztec Empire.
The coins here are different from the yen used in real life, and are divided into gold coins, silver coins, and copper plates. A gold coin is equivalent to 1,000 silver coins, and a silver coin is equivalent to 100 copper plates, and copper plates and silver coins are the most commonly used.
The usual consumption is not high, eating an ordinary bowl of green onion egg noodles is about the price of 5 copper plates, which is about the same as the actual cost, if you want to buy a good weapon or slave, it will be a lot more expensive, the slave is about 10 silver coins, and the weapon is about 50 silver coins.
Inflation is also rare in the continent of Thuat, where most civilians work diligently, and then exchange what they grow for other daily necessities, such as rice growers taking rice in exchange for fruits.
Coins are generally used in bazaars, but it is also okay to exchange food privately.
'It's rare to walk around with a bag of gold coins. ’
Koichiro took out some of the silver coins and copper plates and put them in tomorrow's baggage, and then wrapped the gold and silver coins in black cloth and put them under the bed and hid them.
"Dada......"
A sound of footsteps sounded out of the door.
"Lord Ernest, I have a little matter for your advice", still a clear and pleasant girlish voice.
As soon as Hanichiro heard it, he knew who was coming, "Didn't you ask her to make a list?" ’
"Come in."
Hanichiro answered, opened the door, and saw that it was Xia who had changed into a daily nightdress, and a small piece of pink fabric was revealed behind Xia, with cute lace.
"What?"
"Ah, yes, that ......" Thea was hesitant, she actually wanted to go to the town of Colum alone with Lord Ernest, but......
A good friend can't pull down and refuse.
Xia simply looked at Hangichiro with a little helplessness, and said quietly: "Itina wants to set off with us, Your Excellency, ...... you?"
Itina poked her head out from behind the tall Thea, and with the implication that she was not so reluctant, but had to do so, she hugged Thea proudly.
"I, I'm just worried about Xia's safety, I don't have to stick to you!"
As if she felt that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, Itina said again: "Thea's injury is not healed yet, and I, as a therapist, am responsible for the patient!" ”
Itina's words sounded right.
‘……’
That's what it means, I see.
Bringing a therapist is also a good option. ’
"If you want to go, let's go together, what else?" Koichiro felt that this was no problem, and that Thea would not be very embarrassed on the road, because of the problem of possibly staying in the town of Colum at night, so that Itina could be with Thea.
"Huh?"
Itina, who was still squirming just now, didn't expect Hanichiro to agree to her request so readily and openly, she couldn't believe it.
"What's wrong?" Koichiro thought she wasn't satisfied.
"Hey, no, then, see you tomorrow, good night Lord Ernist", this time it was Itina's turn to be embarrassed, her own crankiness was really too much, and then quickly said goodnight and slipped away.
"Your Excellency, good night, good dreams", Xia Shi Shiran saluted, and then turned around to leave.
"Good dreams."
--
The next morning it was a nice day, cloudless, and the three of them went down the mountain in a carriage.
The carriage creaked all the time during its journey, presumably because of the rough mountain road, and the sound of wheels crushing against the leaves of the mountain road.
Autumn is just around the corner, and the leaves are beginning to fall.
These two horses are very docile and run very steadily, and at first glance they are good horses bred by well-trained revolutionary troops.
Koichiro sat cross-legged on the carriage frame, pulling the horse's leash in his hand, playing the role of the coachman, and in the carriage were Xia and Itina, who did not let Xia drive for safety reasons, although Xia was very good at various survival skills.
Today, he wanted to call Bruder to visit the town of Collum, but he was called by Lilith to complete the task of investigation, and he also needed to help the revolutionary army transport some supplies and retrieve some intelligence documents, so this idea had to be abandoned.
Lilith didn't have any restrictions on Hangichiro's actions, according to Lilith's personal officer, who was the duchess of the Ernest Hollerwallens family, she should be very concerned about the safety of the original owner, but she didn't care much about it now, and Hangichiro didn't think much about it.
"Your Excellency, how long will it take?"
It was about twenty minutes away from the center of Collam town, and Thea, presumably bored in the carriage, lifted the bamboo curtain of the carriage and poked her head out to talk to Koichiro.
"It's about a short distance, it's going to be soon," Koichiro replied, pulling the leash and looking ahead.
Thea hesitated for a moment, then simply arched out of the carriage, and then sat sideways on the frame in front of the carriage.
So I'm sitting side by side with Lord Ernest. ’
This little girl's careful thinking made Xia a little happy in her heart.
"What are you doing, it's not safe, go back", Hangichiro's tone was not very friendly.
Because Koichiro is worried that there will be a messenger of the gods who ambushed the members of the Blood Oath, the Blood Oath is an assassination organization, and the wanted portraits of several members are also hung in Monte City, it is certain that they will be tracked, but it is not certain whether Cilides Campbell's hand will be stretched that long.
"Now, it's almost okay," said Thea, reluctantly ruffling her windswept silver hair behind her ears.
Obviously, the wind is so cool and comfortable when driving, there are only two small wooden windows in the car to see the scenery from the side, and Itina is a "motion sickness party" who must fall asleep in the car, and she has been pillowing on her shoulders, which makes her shoulders a little paralyzed.
Xia stretched out and yawned lazily, "Itina slept so soundly, and the warm air outside the car is also very suitable for sleeping." ’
The cropped top slid upwards as she stretched her waist, revealing a small section of her voluptuous waist.
"Now, I think...... Lean in", Thea moved closer to Koichiro, leaning her head on Koichiro's shoulder as she said to herself, then closed her eyes.
"This ......," just before Koichiro said the words to let her go back to the car.
Thea, who had her eyes closed, made a "shhhh ’
Isn't this forced A to come up......
'Okay, let her be, it's almost there anyway', Hangichiro didn't push her away, this time his back straightened, and Xia leaned quietly on it.
Xia Xu was a little tired, thinking about it, and fell asleep in a daze.
'There's a feeling of tranquility, a long time, as if the Patronus is by my side, I'm no longer an object to be disposed of, but a person, someone who cares about my well-being, someone who eats happily together, who has fun to work with, and who has a warm companion......
"Mom......" Xu thought of something that he missed so much, and a tear slipped from the corner of Xia Ya's eyes in the dream.
Koichiro was keenly aware that Thea, who was leaning next to him, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and glanced at her tears.
"Are you having a bad time?" Koichiro hesitated for a moment, then silently wiped away Thea's tears with his thumb.
"Ah...... I", Xia was awakened by Hanichiro's movements, wiped the back of her hand only to find that she had unconsciously shed tears, she immediately moved away, and said apologetically, "Your Excellency, I am not ...... Thank you, Your Excellency. ”
"It doesn't matter, everyone has a past they don't want to talk about, time is the best healing medicine."
Thea nodded silently.
In front of you, you can see the small colorful bungalows on the top of the mountain, and the town of Colum is bustling.
