86. Scythe on the bridge of jihad
Lycia stopped the carriage.
"You're going to Barbalic?" neighed the horse as he raised his front hooves before stopping.
Lycia nodded. "Yes. ”
Dimitoli bent down and stretched out his right palm, and a golden dragon scale lay in the palm of his palm. "Take it with you. ”
Lycia had completely calmed down from the girl's heart just now, and she was only thinking that this golden dragon scale must be a good thing, maybe it was a life-saving thing.
Continuing to think about things in love can be exhausting, and it will keep her in a state of self-touching and intoxication, and she will miss out on a lot of good things.
So Lycia decided to take the scales. "Thank you. ”
Dimitri nodded. He seemed to want to say something, but swallowed it in the end, and he just gave Lycia a deep look.
Then he turned the horse's head around and walked away slowly.
Lycia saw a six-pointed star rushing towards her from the top of Dimitri's head, and at night, it was exceptionally shining, and if it had arrived earlier, it would have been different, Lycia did not know.

After two days of traveling, they finally arrived at the city of Akid, which was closest to the Bridge of the Holy War.
The cities of Akid are close to the Eye of the Dead Sea, but receive very little rainfall.
So it was very dry, the sky was full of wind and sand, and the sky was yellow.
Lycia touched her stomach, which had been tormented by dry food for the past few days, and proposed to eat a bowl of hot soup before going to the bridge.
"Absolutely. Miss Krier finally closed the book, took off her glasses, and jumped out of the car.
"Beef stew with potatoes. Lycia ordered a dish, and the store served Lycia a bowl of mush in a pot that was so sticky that she couldn't tell what the ingredients were.
Lycia took it.
==== (Update before 2 o'clock should be ok)
"The crocodiles in the Dobali area have horns on the top of their heads. Dimitrius replied.
The two of them pretended to be curious and walked towards the crocodile stand.
"The crocodile hanging there has no horns, is it a fake crocodile?" Lycia muttered at the sound of chopping flesh one after another. The boss, who was wearing a gray-brown turban, ignored her and slashed the crocodile into several pieces with a thud.
"Female crocodiles don't have horns. Dimitorius grabbed Lycia.
"Little brother knows the goods, do you want a tail?" the female boss threw the meat chopping knife on the board, brushed up her sleeves, and pointed to a bloody tail and asked Dimitoli.
"Oh, that's handsome, this little brother. "In order to keep a low profile, today Dimitrili wears the civilian clothes he bought in the city of Seine. "I'll give you a piece of meat to taste back. ”
Lycia's desire to win caused her to throw ten gold coins. "Give me a whole one. I want a male crocodile with horns. ”
The boss picked up the knife and began to chop the meat again. "There is no whole one. ”
Lycia pointed to the crocodile head. "What about the head, I want a crocodile head with horns, I don't want a tail. ”
Anyway, all they need is teeth, and crocodile heads are enough.
"You buy heads, Miss, but no one eats crocodile heads, crocodile heads are thrown away every night, and I just threw away a male crocodile head yesterday. The butcher was a little coveted by the ten gold coins on the board.
However, she could throw out ten gold coins casually, and she knew that the person who came must have an extraordinary identity, and her attitude suddenly changed a lot.
"Where did it go? "Lycia looks like a brutal lady trying to find a crocodile's head.
"Garbage pit, go along this road, then turn left, there's a big pothole. The butcher replied decently.
Dimitoli looked good-natured and persuasive. "Okay, don't make a fuss, you really have to go to the garbage heap to find the horned crocodile head. ”
Lycia glared at him. "Yes, I want it. I've paid for the money too, boss, if I can't find the horned crocodile head, you're done. ”
Lycia ran in the direction the butcher had said.
The rest of the shops were dumbfounded as they watched as they made ten gold coins next door. "Miss, I have a crocodile head with horns today. ”
Lycia had already run away, and Dimitri followed.
The two of them ran to the garbage pit with a smoke, and they didn't care about what happened to Fudomi and Troy together.
The only way to quickly collect a large number of crocodile teeth is to find a previously discarded crocodile head in the garbage.
"This pit is a bit big. Lycia covered her nose.
From time to time, a truckload of garbage would be dragged into the garbage pit, which was at least 20 meters deep.
"How are we going to find the crocodile head. "As far as the eye can see, you can't find anything. "I see one!"
Lycia saw a crocodile head covered with fruit peels, horned, which the boss said had just been thrown away yesterday.
"I don't want to pick it up. Lycia shook her head, then looked at Dimitri. "Apparently you don't want to, is there a magic circle that works?"
Dimitoli shook his head.
"Let someone else help. Lycia grabbed a thin girl who had just finished taking out the trash, her clothes were empty, she had heavy dark circles under her eyes, her lips were white, and she looked malnourished.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" said the skinny girl, who looked very young and old, but her face was covered with wrinkles.
Lycia suddenly felt a little guilty, and what she didn't want to do, she asked a thin girl to do.
"Did you see that crocodile head? Can you pick it up for me? I'll pay you a gold coin. Lycia had already taken out a piece of gold and slipped it into the thin girl's hand.
"Can you just pick that one up and get a gold coin?" the girl looked at Lycia. "What if you pick up more?"
"Then give you more gold. Lycia reached into her pocket, feeling that there was still plenty of gold.
"Thank you. The girl grabbed the gold coin, jumped out of the garbage pit, and slumped her head up as big as her and walked toward Lycia.
"You give too much, and it may have a bad impact on her life. Dimitoli said very objectively.
"Occupy the optimal resources, and pretend to be stingy with people who can't even eat?" Lycia smiled as she crossed her arms.
"Lycia, you're so kind. "Dimitrius had been complimenting Lycia today, and it made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"No, I'm just deceiving myself, I'm still doing what I want to do to exploit them. Lycia saw the girl throw the crocodile head on the ground and ran into the garbage pit to rummage through the other crocodile heads.
"You paid a gold coin, which is more than she did for a year. Dimitri said.
"But I didn't do anything, and I was able to get a lot of gold for nothing. "There's no way for Lycia to convince someone who hasn't experienced modern society to understand.
"It's useless to think about this, what you should be thinking about is how to destroy the alien beasts, so that more people can have enough to eat. "Dimitrius is right.
The girl worked very quickly, and soon found eighteen crocodile heads.
Although two of the crocodile heads found are without horns.
"That's it. "It's a little late, though.
Lycia called out to the girl who wanted to return to the pit and continue her search.
"Is that enough?" the girl stumbled into Lycia's hand in the purse, and climbed ashore with a glint of concern.
She already stinks.
"Eighteen crocodile heads in total. Lycia looked around, made sure no one was looking, and handed her eighteen gold coins. "Take it, don't show it. ”
The girl nodded, her eyes shining with joy and simplicity. "Thank you. ”
Maybe seeing that Lycia was beautiful and kind, and cared for her so much, the girl had the audacity to squat down and help Lycia clean up the garbage on the crocodile's head.
"For just three gold coins, I can buy a house and live on my own. She looked up at Lycia. "Miss, the meat is rotten, do you still want it?"
"I'm going to save the remaining twelve pieces. ”
Lycia subconsciously always felt that the girl would say something similar to having money to treat her family.
"What about your family?" Dimitrius apparently also had some stereotypes about the poor.
"They all died, and last month there was a madman in our village who picked up a stick that was on fire, and he killed everyone by a sudden attack. The little girl had no emotion when she talked about it. "I was pushed into a stinky puddle by my brother, so I wasn't noticed. ”
'Sticks that are on fire?' Lycia's first reaction was, guns, but there are no guns in this world.
"Now that I have the money, I can get a good job in the town. The little girl bared a row of teeth.
"What a fiery stick. "Dimitri was also very curious. "Is it a heraldic item, even a madman can use it?"
The girl didn't dare to look at Dimitoli, only stared at his uppers, probably adolescent girls were a little shy about handsome men. "I, I don't know, and then I don't know how it caught fire and burned our village to the ground. ”
There was still a little fear on her face. "I almost didn't make it. ”
Lycia glanced at Dimitoli, and it seemed that something new was happening.
"Where was your old village?" asked Dimitoli.
"There!" the little girl had never been to school and did not know how to describe the geographical location, so she only pointed to the south.
"Don't go, there's nothing there but a pile of charcoal. "The little girl has already sorted out the crocodile head and stacked it neatly.
"Well, where do you live?" Lycia saw that the girl's favorability had gone from the initial 30 percent to 50 percent.
"Leave me alone, I'm not going to let people take the money. ”
Indeed, she must have the ability to survive all the time if she is so thin.
"Do you need someone to help you drag these crocodile heads?" the little girl showed her chopstick-like wrist and waved at Lycia.
"No, we'll just find someone ourselves. "Of course it's impossible to take the whole crocodile head away. "You go back first. ”
After the girl left, Dimito used Dragon Flame to burn the flesh hanging from the bones, leaving only Bai Sensen's crocodile skull, and then collected all the teeth while no one was around, and there was also a small bag.
"That should be enough. Lycia weighed it.
"Your Highness!" Troy ran over with an eager look on his face, and Dimitri was taking a bag full of crocodile teeth.
"These, these are crocodiles, skulls?" Troy gasped.
Dimitoli pushed Troy's face too close. "What's the matter, tell me quickly. ”
Although the female crocodile couldn't tell if it was from the Dobali area, Lycia still collected it and put it in her bag in line with the principle of not wasting it.
"The city lord still found out that we were coming, and it seems that we will have to spend the night in Qinombo tonight. A gust of wind blew, and Troy smelled a foul stench and almost threw it up. "You've been standing in this place?"
*
The lord of Chinonbo was shirtless, with a hat sewn with fish scales and crocodile skin on his head, and his skin was dark and green, like a fishman.
"I heard that there is a beautiful lady who wants to buy crocodiles, whole ones! The city lord, who looked like a water chieftain, slapped his big belly and laughed wildly.
The other unsuspecting classmates looked at Lycia with curiosity, and she shrugged. "I'm just a little curious. ”
No, she regretted it a little, and she should have asked Dimitori herself.
"Our crocodiles in Chinonbo are also very beautiful, I can have someone show you there. The lord of the castle said as he tried to put his hand on Dimitri's shoulder.
Avoided by him, Dimitri said, "Lycia only wants to see the crocodile with horns." He deliberately did not address Miss Lycia, as if he were very close to her.
"Oh~" The chief-like city lord let out a long oh.
"I see, tonight the castle is holding a show, and I have two male crocodiles more than eight miles away. The lord laughed.
Three hours later, Lycia was forced to sit in the cold, damp basement of the Colosseum to watch a male crocodile duel from Dobali.
There's not much to watch in the game, and watching two crocodiles bite is very boring except for the blood.
So Lycia pricked up her ears to listen.
Most of what she heard was unnutritious gossip.
"Strange village burned clean. ”
"Of course. ”
"It seems that the people who came this time are all from the city of Lantkos. ”
"They're all hairy students, and you're afraid they'll find out? I'll leave tomorrow. ”
"Well, but these student girls are so beautiful. ”
Lycia listened to the foul language in the back.
She stood up, and Guise, who was sipping melon seeds next to her, was startled as she walked angrily towards the two officials who were speaking.
"Sir, are you sheriffs? Lycia's face was full of anger, and although she was beautiful, the two sheriffs clearly sensed that something was wrong.
"Yes, miss. One of the fat sheriffs replied.
Dimitri watched this scene from afar, did not get up, and held Troy down. "You have to trust the lady to solve the problem on her own. ”
Troy gave him a funny look. "Your Highness, you should say these things in front of Miss Lycia. ”
"Where is Qi Village? Lycia took out the map and slapped it on the table in front of the two of them.
Still the slightly chubby one, he trembled and pointed to a place not far from the city of Chinonbo and said, "Here, it only takes about half an hour to get from the town." ”
