Chapter 414: Warm or Cold on
readx;
Ayana personally opened the box containing the moon shield and other small items, and the inconspicuous shield lay there quietly, not even the dust outside the box had been touched, and Feide's worries proved unnecessary. Luca www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion met Selena and the others a day before Field, and the potato mercenaries did not encounter any obstacles, except for the troubles of some nobles of the Duchy of Deraman.
According to Jasmine, the lords of the Duchy of Dramain all charged tolls to the Potato Mercenary Corps on the grounds of "mercenaries of the Duchy of Mageni". Those guys think that the potato mercenary group has been working for the Duke of Yannis before, and the head of the group, Fidel, has become the ruler of the Duchy of Mageni, so now the potato mercenary group going west seems to have become a rat that cannot be accommodated, and the nobles of the Duchy of Delamain are not very friendly.
Fei De didn't know much about this principality, and no one in the Potato Mercenary Regiment had their hometown here, so Fei De didn't think of any way to do anything about it, so he could only settle down in Morning Light City first.
The Potato Mercenaries didn't enter Morning Light City, they camped not far outside the city. The potato mercenary group with nearly 3,000 people basically cannot all be placed in the city, even in the original base of Dumu City, most of the subordinates live in villages and towns outside Dumu City.
However, Fei De still had to go to the city, because several of his subordinates were already in the city, and the owner of Morning Light City sent an invitation to the Potato Mercenary Regiment, but Fei De was not there at the time.
"I didn't expect the sunset here to be so beautiful!" said the wild horse, like an excited little boy, couldn't walk with his feet on the ground, "I heard that the morning in Morning City will be shrouded in mild sunshine, and all the people who live here will not sleep too late, because the morning here is so beautiful." β
Selena, who was at the front, said, "Indeed, I could see the morning light in the tent for the past two days, and it made me sleepy. β
Feder looked up at the city-walls, which were rich and calm in the name of the morning light, and the people who entered and exited the city were safe, and they walked more slowly than the citizens of the Duji City. And the slowly setting sun is also dazzling and magnificent, and it is much warmer than Akadou Castle in winter, perhaps because the city is under the sun all day.
Some travelers with the accent of the Kingdom of Salins surprised Fett's affection, and since the Duchy of Dramain sent Kosi to Mallot, the relationship between the two countries has been getting better and better in recent years, and the exchanges have become deeper and deeper. Many people from the Kingdom of Sahlins moved to the Duchy of Dramain with a pleasant climate, and some people from the Duchy of Dramain saw the big market of the Kingdom of Sahlins and did business in the kingdom.
Vendors can be seen along the street, citizens are chatting and laughing in front of the stalls, no one cares about Fide and his party, and the pedestrians on the road do not squint, because most of them pay attention to the children around them.
"This city is much more vibrant than the One Tree City, and the taverns are very distinctive, if Marcus were still aroundβ" Lukka sighed as he thought of his big brother-like friend.
At the crossroads of the streets, Fed is separated from Bronco and Luca, and Fed is going to the city's hospital to find Ligu, as Vittorio has moved to Dawn City. Mustang is going to the Courier Bureau, where he plans to gather his men to join the Potato Mercenary Regiment. Lukka and Selena are in charge of contacting the Mercenary House here to see the mercenaries in the Duchy of Deramain.
"Vittorio, his body seems to be a little better. Fidel and Ayana walked side by side, and Ayana had grown a little taller, but still on the short side.
"His illness is a heart disease, wait a moment and don't mention the matter of the Mageni Principality. β
Fylde nodded, and when he came to Morning Light City, news about Black Swamp City also reached here. Ludwig had to prepare to return home due to pressure from within the Kingdom of Cose, and the siege was halted halfway through. Count Endrida was given a respite, but he also lost a lot of support, and many of his supporters chose to join the Independent League. Looking at the large tract of land that was once the Duchy of Magini, and the less than ten cities that claimed to support Ndridida, the Duchy of Magini has existed in name only.
The Eastern Oguna Empire and the Winter Army were at odds with each other, and instead targeted the nobles of the Duchy of Magini who had not yet fully decided to join the Independent Alliance. Several cities belonging to the southern region were taken by the Eastern Oguna Empire with both soft and hard measures, and most of the original owners of those cities died in the southern army camp, and no one could save them.
If Vittorio, who was still ill, had been told of these news, the young merchant who cared about the Duchy of Magini would have been even more depressed. Ligu's subordinates have explained to Fid that the reason why Vittorio has gray hair overnight is because his spirit has been greatly stimulated, and the invisible pressure of self-blame has crushed Vittorio, and he can only use time to calm down when his mood is close to collapse.
When Fide walked into Vittorio's hospital room, Mary was coming out of it and almost hit Fed's black armor.
"Open your eyes!" Mary, who was more violent and fierce than Octavia, pushed Fidel away with her hand and walked down the stairs without saying a word. Ligu, who came out with her, immediately greeted his captain and told Vittorio about his situation.
"He's lost a lot of weight, even if it's the rice porridge that his sister cooked herself, he only eats a little bit," Ligu shook his head, he also looked tired, "He hasn't gotten much better in nearly a month from Dumu City here, but the hair loss hasn't happened anymore... Commander, you might as well take a look at him for yourself. β
After taking a few steps, Fidel saw Vittorio lying on the hospital bed, with pale hair and a book in his hand. Vittorio's expression was calm, but the book he was holding upside down had betrayed his inner emotions. Vittorio also noticed that Fed had entered the room and put down the book, tucking his upper body into the quilt and turning his back to Fed and Ayana.
"That's it, he doesn't want to see anyone, and he's always thinking about things that make him suppress his anxiety... Alas, those things are knots in my heart, and I can't untie them at all. Ligu whispered in Fiddle's ear.
Ayana wanted to turn around and go outside, but she said to Fidel, "Or it's a good way to divert his attention, and I like to divert the attention of my prey and hunt them again." With that, Ayana left the ward with Ligu, leaving only Fidel, who trusted Vittorio the most.
Vittorio seemed to notice that Feder was the only one left in the room, and he pulled the quilt tighter, as if it wasn't thick enough.
Without saying yes first, Fidel walked around the hospital bed, looking at the drugs Vittorio was taking, and then at the books Vittorio had brought with him. Most of the books are story books, and the stories in them are made up, not real people. However, these story books have one thing in common, that is, they are all children's stories.
"The Mercenary Guild is planning to make a big splash in the days to come, and they've already got Levier on board. Fidel threw up a topic that Vittorio might be interested in, but after waiting for a long time, Vittorio still didn't respond.
"I've got some treasure maps, the location of the treasure is in the kingdom of Cose, and I'm thinking about digging it up. β
Vittorio still didn't look at Fidel, but Feder could see that the emaciated face of the other party had half-open eyes.
"It's possible for us to stay in Morning Light City, this should be a suitable place for the potato mercenary group to develop and live. β
After Fidel said this, he glanced at Vittorio again, and the other party still didn't react, but Fidel knew that the other party was not asleep. After pacing back and forth a few steps, Fed chose to leave the hospital room and walk with Ayana and Ligu to the camp outside the city. Ligu said that Captain Fed couldn't get Vittorio back to normal, and it seemed that the young and promising deputy warden would have to spend more time slowly accepting the consequences of the fall of the Duchy of Magini.
After returning to the barracks, Fei De immediately gathered all his subordinates and told him the details of the "Mercenary Future" gathering. Claude and Bronco also became squad leaders under Fidel's introduction, and Octavia's departure was also mentioned by Fidel for "personal reasons".
"That female rebel has the strength of a mercenary captain, but her personality is too stubborn to fit in with us. Selena didn't know how worried they were about getting to Morninglight City.
Jasmine: "So have we become enemies of the Mercenary Guild now? Actually, I don't think the Mercenary Guild is a... Options to consider. β
Jasmine's words spoke to some of the captains' hearts, after all, Field's description of the "mercenary future", as well as the description found by the guild leader in private, clearly indicated that the potato mercenary group had a chance, an opportunity to use the mercenary guild. None of the captains present liked the Mercenary Guild, but they all felt that the Mercenary Guild could be used by the Potato Mercenary Regiment in turn.
Fidel also felt a trace of regret in the expression of his subordinates, after all, Octavia was right. The mercenary of the future is just a kind of identity, it cannot say what you really look like, whether you are a mercenary or a remnant, whether you are a thief or a businessman, the "mercenary group" can carry these meanings.
"The past is gone, there's no need to dwell on it," Patrick said, gesturing to the two treasure maps, "How much do you think these treasure maps are worth?"
Franklin had already focused on the treasure map, and the other captains had circulated the treasure map. In the end, everyone came to a conclusion, that is, the places marked by these treasure maps are deep mountains and old forests, and it is difficult to accurately find the treasure points pointed to on the map without using most of the mercenaries.
"If it's really a box of gold... So what are you waiting for!"
"But both of these locations are in the kingdom of Cosai..."
"Then let's get out of here, I'm fed up with the warmth, I want the cold!" Jasmine grabbed the treasure map with both hands, she was an authentic mercenary.
