Chapter 116: A Request for Fifteen Thousand Silver Coins
"Dear Mr. Mage, our benefactor. Allow me, Titan Pong Taiertu, daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Lorenmagaga, to express to you my sincerest gratitude on behalf of all of us who have been rescued by your kindness. Ti Yan walked up to her and bowed deeply.
This rhetoric, this action, immediately reminded Aozong of another old man, Mr. Gabobo.
In most places on the continent of the Tambro Continent, in addition to kneeling to gods and secular rulers, bowing is considered the highest etiquette, of course, there are many differences between bowing and bowing, the more solemn and exquisite the bowing, the more detailed the requirements, even the palm orientation, the opening and closing of the fingers are also exquisite, and the etiquette performed by Mr. Gabobo, a scholar of the Inner Court, and the daughter of the prime minister, such as Tiyan, is naturally the most strict and accurate.
It's a pity that they encounter arrogance, and they don't appreciate red tape the most.
"Come on, I don't like this kind of etiquette, if you want to talk to me, keep it simple and clear. Then he changed his words, "Actually, you don't need to thank me, but since you thank you, thank you, hurry up and leave with the others, and go back to your respective homes." ”
Ti Yan didn't expect to encounter such a nail, but she was really full of gratitude and respect, and naturally it was impossible to deal with this person.
"Yes, we would like to go home as soon as possible, but it is so far away from our hometown that many of us don't even understand the local language, and my way home is really difficult. ”
However, he thought that the other party's words were indeed true, and the girls who looked "not ugly" like them were black households, and they wanted them to walk thousands of miles home, and there was really no hope of peace, and they probably hadn't gotten out of this single zanman Sakai yet, and they were either slaves again, or they were taken captive and eaten by non-human beings.
So he didn't speak, waiting for Tiyan to finish speaking.
"We thought that if the Master Mage could keep us out of the Empire safely, we would be willing to give the equivalent of fifteen thousand silver coins as a small thank-you. Ti Yan did not disappoint him, and directly presented their expectations and returns.
Fifteen thousand silver coins, no currency is specified, indicating that this money should be made up by these people together, the value of the silver coins of several surrounding countries is slightly different, but it is not too different, no matter which country's currency, this is a huge amount of money, even for a green-collar mage who gets the best salary, this money is equivalent to his income for three years.
Ao Zongheng is very curious, this money is divided among these twenty heads, and each person has to bear about 700 silver coins, if you have this net worth, don't you get out of it sooner if you take it out directly to redeem yourself? How many of you can sell it as a black slave can sell it for 700 silver coins?
Ti Yan seemed to see the puzzlement of Arrogant, "Most of the fifteen thousand silver coins are paid by me and the other two girls, and no one else can provide silver coins to repay your kindness, but the three of us hope that you can also help them get out of this dangerous place." We couldn't trust these slave traders, fearing that if our identities were revealed, a more tragic fate awaited us, and perhaps even our families. ”
"Oh, I see. Ao Zongheng replied lightly, but the evaluation of this girl in his heart has been much higher, there are many smart and calm people, and there are many people who care about affection, but people who have both, this is rare.
Even so, it would still be too difficult for him to let Ao Zongheng escort them through more than two thousand miles and send them away from the empire.
Of course, it's not that he can't do it, but he really can't do it - he doesn't have the spare time, this is the way back.
Arrogant and thinking, Ti Yan didn't dare to urge, so she had to frown and wait.
According to the general opinion of the Ploz continent, of course, Ao Zhu is not a beautiful man, especially in the two central kingdoms, which are known for their blonde hair and blue eyes. However, whether a man can attract a woman has no absolute relationship with whether he is beautiful or not, handsome or not. A strong, confident, noble and moral man like Aozhong, even if he looks "special", is enough to make many women fall in love, not to mention the girl who loves heroes and romance the most.
However, Di Yan looked arrogant, but not out of any admiration and worship, once a woman has a man in her heart, the other thousands of men are probably just the same person with different names in the eyes of this woman.
If it weren't for that man, she wouldn't have escaped from the royal capital, let alone been taken captive here.
But she doesn't regret it at all.
She now has only one thought, that is, she wants to leave the territory of the empire as soon as possible and return to the kingdom of Miredang, and she is willing to give everything she can in order to return to Miredang. However, although she is still young, she also vaguely understands that in order to impress a man, options other than money are actually very limited.
I have to say that she is really a very simple and kind aristocratic girl, and until this time, she has not had any crooked ideas of betraying others. Perhaps because of this, she was elected by others as a representative to ask for help from this mage of the Legal Management Department.
Tiyan's brows furrowed even tighter, and she gritted her teeth, as if she had made a difficult but important decision, and was about to speak, but she finally spoke.
"Call them all over, I have something to say to them. ”
On the twelfth day of the month of death, fire three.
If two of the ten convoys on the national highway are merchant convoys, then at least five of them are slave convoys, and if it is in Moriganghan, the proportion must be even higher, because from here to Sakai Prefecture, it is the area with the strongest purchasing power in the entire Sakai Prefecture, so the slave convoys that enter the Sakai to do business will pass by here without exception and stay for a while.
Naturally, the guards were also accustomed to all kinds of slave convoys, including prisoner of war slaves from the eastern front, criminal slaves brought from the imperial capital, and debt slaves from other Sakai provinces dressed in different costumes. Except for the black slaves, because no black slave convoy dared to directly enter the Hanji supply, the wilderness was where they rested and stayed.
However, the well-informed guards today encounter a strange convoy of slaves that they have never seen before.
The size of the convoy is not large, only four trench cars, and there are quite a few guards, a total of twenty-two horsemen, which is just an ordinary size slave convoy, how can it be surprising?
However, the guards of this convoy were almost all women! Although most of them were half-covered, it was generally clear that they were all beautiful and healthy women, and they belonged to different ethnic groups. What's even stranger is that the slaves who were kept in slave cages were all strong men!
And the only man who walked at the front of the convoy and led the team forward turned out to be a green-collar mage of the Law Management Department who was riding a horse.
Even the fools could see the oddities of this convoy of slaves, so as soon as the convoy entered the outskirts of Hanji, it was immediately targeted by the guards. But because of the presence of the leader of the legal management department, they didn't dare to rush up to intercept and interrogate, but just followed from afar, while hurriedly sending someone to report to the middle of the court.
Unexpectedly, this slave convoy did not buy and sell and did not live in the shop to rest, but went straight to the Hanchen Office.
In this case, the guards' suspicions were immediately dispelled—if the slave convoy with bad intentions and from the wrong route would never take the initiative to approach the most heavily guarded office. This convoy is not related to the Chenchens.
As soon as the convoy turned into the street in front of the executive office, several riders came to them, and the man was lined with blue water velvet and a silver carved badge half a fist-size, which was the status symbol of the imperial minister.
Arrogant didn't recognize this man, so he was either a governor or a jung.
"I'm looking for the head of Tenfelgen and I have a big deal to tell him. Facing the Hanchen in front of him, Ao Zongheng did not let the convoy stop, but only said a word from afar.
Naturally, the head of Tenfelgen is the one who killed his wife by mistake and was cursed to become a metal demon. His name was only seen from his official documents when he came to the Hanchen Office that night to withdraw money.
Jun Zhong's face is ugly, he is in charge of the judiciary of Yijun, and his status is really not low. The entry and exit conditions in the ordinary harbour do not need to work him at all. But I heard a report from a green-collar mage from the Ministry of Justice leading a strange convoy of slaves into the prison. He decided he had to come and see it - Zanman Sakai had rarely seen a mage from the Law Division, let alone a green-collar mage mixed with a strange convoy of slaves.
However, as soon as the two sides met, before he could see each other's appearance clearly, the other party spoke to him first - that is, the meaning of this was not very good, so he almost didn't directly say, "It's none of your business, let go of it." ”
Jun Zhong was very unhappy, he really wanted to take revenge on the other party, but he was still sober - his identity was really useless with this green-collar mage - if he could pick out the unshirkable faults from the other party, of course, he could also clean up the other party, but in the case of not daring to plant the blame, he was not too sure that he could pick out the indefensible faults from the other party.
So he decided to get back a little face verbally, even if it was just two sentences, even if it was just for a while, and the scene was tense.
Someone spoke faster than he did, though.
"It turned out to be Master Gao, what a rare guest, welcome to Sengang. ”
The voice came from behind, but without looking back, Han Zhong could also hear that it was the voice of Han Shou. The head of the city does not need to pay attention to public security, but it does not mean that the strange things that happen in the management of the city, he will know it slower than others.
Damn, this guy actually has a friend who leads the mage of the legal management department? And it's a friend who will take the initiative to come to the door? Why did he never find out? Han Zhong was shocked in his heart, what little thing that was holding the scene was instantly forgotten by him.
But fortunately, no one cared about him, including his personal entourage, and everyone's attention was on the Lord Hanshou and the green-collar mage who came out.
This guy, really used the method I said to melt his legs back? The quality of improvisation is not bad, it seems that this person can really use it. Arrogantly looked at the legs that didn't show the slightest problem, and the plan was already in his heart.
Dressed in a large men's dress, Ti Yan followed closely behind Ao Zongheng, this was his order, until now, she didn't know the name of this mage, and she naturally didn't understand why the mage brought everyone to find the head of the Great Bogar Empire.
