————————————————————————————————————————

Yoda is a mercenary, one of the three pirate brothers who is one of Alayne's men and Wiggins's friend of life and death.

He has a quarter of his Nord blood and half of his Swadia blood.

Today was his twenty-seventh battle, and after a fierce battle, he had taken out five Grey Cloaks and was now collecting the spoils of war.

He and Jager were in charge of the southern slopes, and he was in charge of scavenging the scraps and bits of the ash cloak, such as the dinar, the ring, and the sacrificial bone meal.

Jager followed him, and when Yodah had finished looting, he stripped off the Grey Cloak's equipment, weapons, and even his clothes, and used them as military supplies.

Jager is a very frugal person, and he will never let go of any opportunity to make money. That's why he's always yelling, "Hey, Yoda, you're missing something valuable!"

Yoda would ask curiously, "What?"

"Gold Tooth! Gold Tooth! This old fellow has gold teeth!" Jager exclaimed excitedly, then pulled a knife from his waist and smashed the gold tooth off.

So Jager was like a locust, and everywhere he went, there was always nothing left. So much so that the captain's orders are always overfulfilled. After taking off all the cloaks of the black cloaks, Jager, who firmly believed that frugality and miserliness was a virtue, stripped off their dirty clothes and pants.

Even so, he still didn't enjoy it. He was about to pick up the other party's crotch cloth one by one, but Yoda stopped him.

Yoda drew a cross on his chest. "It would have been a great sin to expose their bodies in the open, and the Lord will not forgive you if you have to take away the last of their fig leaf. ”

Jager nodded, seemingly agreeing with Yoda's words. And then........ A punch knocked Yoda unconscious.

Anyway, when he had gathered up to the last corpse, Yoda woke up.

There was a sound of the cloth tearing apart, and Yager suddenly stopped moving.

Yoda was very strange, and according to what he knew about Jager, he should have deplored the fabric at this point, right?, looking forward curiously, Yoda's mouth let out a "hissing" inhalation.

It turned out that after Yager took off the corpse's clothes, he felt that the cloth was bulging, and there were some awkward hands.

So I felt a secret hole sewn up with different fabrics, and after tearing it open, something actually fell out.

If you look closely, it is actually a red gem the size of a baby's fist, with six edges and corners, the cutting surface is smooth as a mirror, and there is no trace of chisel, it seems to be natural.

The fiery red color is very pure, and the sun shines on this gem, like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly.

"It's ........ It's ........," Jodah stammered so much that he could barely speak.

Jager's eyes lit up, and it seemed that there were many dinars in front of him. "I ...... I'll go......... Call the chief!" Jodah still stammered.

Jager nodded silently, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

In the evening, on the hillside, Alleyne took Jamila in his arms and watched the afterglow of the sunset.

"Head, some people say that when they were sorting out the spoils of war on the south slope, they found a huge ruby, you see?"

Alleyne shook his hand impatiently, meaning to let him deal with it himself, and don't bother me. He hurriedly turned his head again, and continued to hug Jamila, only to find that his arms were empty.

He glanced to his right, only to see Jamila standing politely beside her, with a peaceful smile on her face, her right hand resting lightly on her left hand, pinned in front of her.

Although the atmosphere was still harmonious, there was obviously an awkward estrangement between the two of them.

"Ahem, okay, you can take me to see the tea. Alleyne tugged at the hem of his shirt, feeling a little dry in his tongue.

Alleyne secretly complained in his heart: I comforted my sister just now, what kind of situation are you here to stir up, you have lost a good excuse for "comfort", and it is impossible to think about Wen Xiang Nephrite in her arms, alas.

Jamila looked at the departing figure from afar, and suddenly turned around, lowered her jade face, and breathed low and soft. A breeze blows, and the pink skirt floats like a wave. "It is suspected that the spring breeze blows twice, and the face is dyed red like a peach" Thousands of thoughts came to mind.

Aren's mouth opened and closed in surprise. "Oh, that's huge. He touched his chin and asked, "But why do these fanatical madmen have such a thing?"

"Well, I guess it was snatched from some passing rich merchant! After all, they caught a lot of people. Manid came out of nowhere.

"Manid, why are you here, by the way, you think such a large gem should sell for a lot of dinars, right?" Alleyn looked at the large and terrifying gem as if to signal the arrival of a day of wealth in his pocket.

"I don't really know yet, but I have a friend who is in the jewelry business, and I've seen him auction something like that," Manid said, somewhat uncertain. "For such a big one, I guess it will cost tens of thousands of dinars at least. ”

"How many........ Tens of thousands of dinars!" Alleyne was so surprised that he seemed to jump.

"Then we'll sell it in the next town!" Mocha interjected.

But Manid hurriedly waved his hand to stop him. "No, this is just a preliminary estimate, I have a friend who lives near Chanda, we can find him first to appraise and find out the market price, and then it is not too late to find a rich man who loves gemstones. ”

Alleyne pondered: "It's okay, it's safer to find someone to estimate the price, and save a loss." In this case, let's go back to Chanda to replenish our supplies first, and go to Suke by the way. ”

secretly complained in my heart: I comforted my sister just now, what kind of situation are you here to stir up, you have lost a good excuse for "comfort", and it is impossible to think about warm nephrite in your arms, alas.
