Chapter 102: Hides
Leighton buried his comrade's head in the dirt, then used a piece of hemp rope to wrap two branches into a simple cross and stuck it firmly into the mound.
The soldiers stood quietly in front of the grave. Everyone took off their helmets with solemn and sad expressions.
Buried here are Solan soldiers like them. They shed their last drop of blood to defend the freedom and dignity of this country. Finally sleep here.
No one knows what they were thinking when they fell.
All you know is that the heads they hung from the griffons, each of them, were wide with angry eyes.
Although those eyes have long lost their brilliance. However, every Solan soldier could see the burning anger in their eyes, and the unwillingness that was so thick that it could not be dissolved.
They are not willing to fall under the sword of the invaders, and they are not willing to see the Firee rampant in this land that belongs to Solan.
After a long time, Layton wiped the tears from his eyes, turned his head, and looked at Sog beside him.
"Thank you. ”
Thorge patted him on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "It's our duty. I'm sure you'll do the same thing if you change positions. If I had to say thank you, I think you should thank someone, not me......"
Layton followed Thorge's gaze and looked at Roy.
After offering a bouquet of wildflowers in front of the tomb, the black-haired boy silently walked over to the dead griffin and used a sharp knife to dissect the griffin's body.
From the mouths of Thorge and the others, Leighton already knew Roy's identity and what he had done.
It can be said that without him, there would be no rear that is now stable, and there would be no army that appeared here in time. There are no more Celestial Knights in Magical Costume and Elven Bow and Arrow Hunters hiding in the jungle.
Leighton didn't know what those high-ranking nobles would think, but as an ordinary soldier. He was filled with gratitude and awe for Roy.
Layton took a brand new longsword from Thorge and gently stroked the head of one of the warhorses assigned to him.
From this moment on, he was part of this team. In the future, he will follow this team to the Fjord Town Theater until the dust settles on this battle.
Leighton didn't know what the end result would be, and he didn't know if he would live to see that day.
But he believes. If you have already witnessed a miracle, you will witness and even participate in creating more miracles in the process!
The knife in Roy's hand slashed through the gaps in the griffin's muscles, and soon, a huge griffin had turned into a useless pile of minced meat.
And the griffin's magic crystal can be used for magic patterns and elixirs. The claws, the heart, the mana glandular sac, the eyeballs, and the three ethereal feathers on the back of the head were already contained in Roy's spatial ring.
This is a seventh-order demonic beast that has broken through the spirit seal, and it is full of treasures. For those who have lived by hunting since childhood, in order not to damage the fur of the prey, they can run dozens of kilometers. For Roy, who exhausted his prey to death, any bit of waste was shameful.
The griffons are all decomposed so cleanly. Naturally, the griffin knight's body had to be looted.
Under the full attack of the twenty Demonic Knights, the Griffin Knight had been directly strangled to pieces by the storm of power. The armor and weapons on his body were all destroyed, and only a small space bag remained.
When the owner dies, the Spatial Bag's magic imprint will automatically dissipate. And the rest of the magic lock, for Roy, who has the Eye of the Elements. It couldn't be easier to crack.
It took less than five minutes for Roy to open the space bag.
"What's in there?" Mai'er, who had been squatting on the side for a long time, had her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say, "Show me quickly." ”
In the blink of an eye, the space bag was already in the hands of Miss Malt.
I saw the eldest lady's hand shake. A large pile of items fell from the space bag onto the grass.
There's not a lot of space in this bag. In total, it is only half a cubic meter in size, which is much smaller than Roy and Malt'er's space ring. However, no matter how small the spatial equipment is, it is incomparably precious in this continent where the magic inheritance has declined due to the final battle.
A knight of glory to be able to have such a space bag made Roy a little curious about his identity.
The other party is obviously not an ordinary person. Aside from this space bag, his griffin mount alone is not something that ordinary knights of glory can afford.
To raise a griffin, you must start raising it from a young age. In this process, not to mention the countless magic crystals and magic stones that are fed in order to break through the spirit seal, just training and raising requires a professional team. Without enough financial resources, getting a baby griffin is not only not lucky, but also a disaster that can destroy the family's property.
Even a nobleman of Viscount Wenger's level can't afford the consumption of a griffin knight.
Roy thought about it, and over there, Malt had already shouted with joy, pounced among the hill-like objects, and began to rummage through the treasure hunt.
"This one is mine," a jewelry box containing a ruby pin, which had just been taken by Malt, and the next second, a beautiful necklace disappeared into her spatial ring, "This one is mine too...... And this...... This ......"
If it weren't for Roy's quick movements, grabbing her collar and pulling her away, I'm afraid that everything would be completely lost by her.
Even so, Malt, whose eyes flashed with the symbol of a gold coin, was like a kitten, fangs and claws, trying to break free from Roy's control and pounce on her treasure.
This scene only made everyone dumbfounded.
Malt is Roy's closest person, but few people know about her existence.
Except for Anne, who saw Malt and Roy jumping off the cliff together in Bollabelle, and the two sisters Lingshuang and Lingxue, who once fought side by side with Roy in the flint consortium caravan, even Tang Xiaoben, Nicole and Luke and others didn't know Malt.
When she first met Team Nicole, Malt hid in Roy's arms in her second form. And when he experienced the Battle of Medin City with Tang Xiaoben, Malt was at home in the city.
Her identity as a dark elf has always made Roy carefully protect her from being too exposed to people's eyes.
After all, for the Continent of Salvation, a society that had been re-established from the near-devastation of the final battle. The hatred of the demons is always higher than any kind of hatred. Once people discover the identity of the dark elf of Malt, no one in this world can protect her. People would burn her at the stake and burn her alive.
And after the Green Tower Manor has more than a hundred elves to join, Malt's identity. It's no longer a problem.
She appeared with the elves, and she was no longer the focus of people's attention. In addition, from the appearance, there is no difference between the dark elves and ordinary elves, so when Roy went to Medin City this time, he thought twice about it and brought Malt out.
After all, even he didn't know how long he would be in Medin City.
When I first saw the malt. Almost every student affirmed the beauty of Malt with an almost sluggish expression.
Elves were originally a handsome race. And Malt's appearance is still the best among the elves.
Fortunately, the malt was not fully ripe, and although it was beautiful, it was just a little girl's beauty, so people would not feel too tempted. But. After more than a year of growth, her curves have plumped up a lot. Plus the awakening of the racial talent of the dark elves some time ago. Today's malt, every move is an irresistible temptation.
Just looking at the appearance, Miss Malt's appearance is more like Roy's sister.
She has long, flowing hair, and a hint of maturity in her pure face. Thin waist. Like a little female leopard, it is full of imaginative power. Her legs are slender and her hips and breasts are curved, giving her a thrilling perfection. If you don't look away, any male animal will easily get lost in it.
Even as Roy's friend, Tang Xiaoben. Giles, Mengmeng, Eric, Griffin and others all expressed intense jealousy and anger. Even Luke, who has always been quiet and cold, frowned and scolded Roy as a "beast".
The big guys can't figure out how such a stunner fell into the hands of Roy, a bastard.
Along the way, although Annie, Lingshuang and Lingxue, the two sister flowers, and the girls such as Carol who always quietly followed Roy's side, all had enough beauty to attract the attention of the young men and unmarried young warriors, but the one who gathered the most attention was Malt. The seductive magic of the dark elves makes them often involuntarily turn their gaze to it.
In the eyes of everyone, Mai'er looks gentle and dignified, quite the style of a young lady.
But no one expected that this beauty was actually a fan of small wealth. When he saw the treasure, he threw himself on it. Seeing her being screwed in Roy's hands, many people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Dead man!"
Unable to resist Roy, Malt could only twist his waist in hatred, squatting beside him with his chin in his hands, watching him clean up his things.
Roy picked up the top money bag and opened it, which contained more than a hundred heavy Jin Lulang. And among the gold coins, there is also a gold card. There are 90,000 gold lulangs in the card.
Malt suddenly groaned.
She felt that she should not have taken the jewelry just now, but should have snatched the money bag in her hand first. Otherwise, such a large sum of money fell into the hands of Roy, a loser...... Sure enough, the ominous premonition in Malt's mind had just been generated, and she saw Roy stuff the money bag into her hand with his backhand, "Malt, go, give this money to everyone." ”
Malt only felt a lack of oxygen to her brain. I can't wait to kick it directly into Roy's hateful confused face.
If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive firewood He worked hard to run the Green Tower Manor, exposed to the wind and sun, and managed seventy or eighty slaves and servants, and finally managed to earn a hundred and ten golden lulangs...... Cough...... Even if most of the bandits' belongings come from those bandits who have been wiped out, it is hard money. Besides, Roy has never counted any money, so he can't leave any savings in his hands.
The first place to calculate the use of money is Roy's secret territory Banderz.
Now, after a long journey, Ivan and Sanjie, having escorted the civilians of Daddy Ken, Hans, Grandet, and Pollabel, arrived there. But. Banderz's situation is a bit peculiar, not as easy to run as the Green Tower Manor. In a short period of time, Grande not only failed to give back to the bandits, but also needed the support of thousands of gold lulangs every month.
After all, the commoners who migrated to Bandez with Grandet numbered nearly two thousand servants and slaves. Along the way. It consumed a lot of money from Grande. And if you want to gain a foothold in Banderz, you can't rely on the title of lord alone. He had to build a large number of houses, reclaim land, and hire mercenaries to guard him.
For Bendez, Roy will always leave no stone unturned.
There's Daddy Ken, there's Hans, there's a lot of Bollabel people that Roy has known since he was ten years old. For him, these people are his relatives and his roots in this world. Therefore. No matter how difficult the finances are, Malt has to set aside some of the money to ensure that it will be remitted when Bandez needs it.
The second place to use money is the bandit army.
The amount of money it takes to build and maintain an army, and an army of hundreds of high-ranking knights, is definitely not imaginable to ordinary people. Even if the reason why the bandit knights follow Roy is more out of gratitude and trust. The requirements for money are not high. However, Roy never disadvantaged anyone when it came to money.
In Roy's opinion. The knights' willingness to take little or even no salary is their noble character. But if you use this as a reason to keep the money in your own hands with peace of mind, it will make you look even more shameless.
Roy also loves money, but he will give what should be given.
And the equipment of the bandit knights. It is also a large part of the expenditure in addition to salary.
An ordinary brave knight, with just a war horse and a full set of weapons and armor, is enough to feed hundreds of civilians. And the Knight of Justice, the Knight of Glory is more demanding in this regard. If it weren't for the fact that Scarlett had cheated a million gold and stolen a large amount of money and supplies from the Fifth Legion. It is simply impossible for the bandit army to have the current combat effectiveness.
And the third place to use money is Roy. Every time he ran to the Golden Skull Auction House, Malt's heart jumped.
Sure enough, after not meeting this guy for a few days, this guy owed a debt of up to millions of gold lulangs. When she first got the news, she even had the heart to jump off the cliff.
At least the last time I jumped off a cliff with Roy, I didn't have such a big debt.
And now, seeing that the family's finances are already in deficit, Roy actually divided the more than 90,000 gold Lulang in his hand!
"Bastard, I'm not going to be in charge of you!" said Mai'er indignantly. However, she will never disobey Roy's request. Immediately found Sog and divided the money.
Divide equally according to the head. There are more than 280 people, and each person can get more than 300 gold lulangs.
Roy's decision made the whole team thunderous.
To the knights, this may not be a small amount, but to the average soldier, it is a windfall comparable to two years' salary plus various other incomes.
With these more than 300 Jin Lulang, they have many wishes to look at.
For example, buying a good three-star sword, such as marrying a beloved woman home, or buying a few acres of land for the family.
The Redemption Continent was originally barren and bitter cold. Even in the relatively affluent south, not everyone can meet the most basic food and clothing.
The reason why they serve as soldiers, in addition to the responsibilities and obligations of being a leader, is more important, that is, in the army, they can get a salary and save a ration for their families.
Just because they're willing to die and fight for their homeland doesn't mean they don't need money.
It's just that, in the past, they never even dreamed that they would get the wealth of a glorious knight. With their level of status, being able to make a few gold lulangs from the enemy's ordinary soldiers is already a big windfall. Moreover, in this battle, they did not contribute at all. According to the rules, this money has nothing to do with them at all.
But Roy announced that the seizure was divided. This made every soldier full of gratitude to the young commander.
Sometimes, whether a commander is worth following or not, in addition to his own ability, is also the most important factor in the practical question of the distribution of spoils.
If the appearance of twenty sets of demonic armor made the soldiers begin to trust Roy, then the distribution of these tens of thousands of Jin Lulang made the big guy like this young chief in their hearts.
Whether it's killing people or splitting money, it's very happy to follow him.
Underneath the money bag, there are several bottles of good quality aura pills, healing pills and two five-star fighting techniques.
These items were given to the knights by Roy.
Several civilian students held the four-star Spiritual Qi Pill and the five-star exercises, which were like treasures. These things, usually don't cost tens of thousands of gold Lulang, but they can't even smell the breath. Compared to a few hundred gold lulangs, this is what they need most. If it weren't for the fact that the female elf next to Roy was too beautiful, several girls couldn't wait to hug Roy and kiss her.
This black-haired boy is handsome, and his demeanor is confused and cute.
Amid the cheers, Roy continued to rummage through the sifs. Soon, something caught his attention.
It was a map of leather.
On the map, several places are marked. One of them is in Lulian. It looks like a treasure map of some kind of secret treasure.
This kind of treasure map, Roy can see a lot. You must know that before the final battle, when human beings were still living in the God-given continent, this continent to the west of the Broken Sky Mountain Range was a paradise for the strong.
At that time, this place was not called a place of redemption, except for the bitter cold climate, the most people here were all kinds of magic and potion materials and magical beasts everywhere.
For ordinary people, this is hell, but for the truly strong, this is heaven. Many strong people, in their lifetime, would choose to travel to this place that was called the Wild Continent at that time. There are those who have made a fortune here, slain dragons, and returned with all kinds of treasures. There are also those who have buried their lives here.
And the relics of these strong men are treasures.
Many people have died here in history, and many indigenous people have disappeared from this land. There are many legends, and there are even more treasure maps of true and false. Roy has seen no less than three of them.
Therefore, when he saw this treasure map, his first reaction was disdain.
But when he took the leather in his hand, he was suddenly startled.
What surprised him was not the map drawn on the skin, but the skin itself...... (To be continued......)
