Chapter 94: Preparing Before You Go
"Roy, are you there?" called Payne knocking on the door. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He originally wanted to push the door straight in, but after thinking about it for a while, he heard that Connie was here, and he came with the people from the Haven Valley mercenary camp.
After knocking on the door a few times, there was no movement inside, Payne pushed the door and found that there was no one inside, "Connie won't really come, will he?"
"Hey, Payne. ”
Payne turned his head and saw Roy and Connie walking this way hand in arm.
"Hello...... Miss Connie. Payne greeted as if he hadn't eaten in three days.
"Hello, Mr. Payne," Connie said, tugging at her long dress and bowing.
Wow, aristocratic style.
"I was looking for you," Roy said with a happy face.
"Looking for me?"
"Yes, Connie wanted to settle down here, so I bought her a small house, I thought it would be cheaper for you to go, but I didn't expect to mention your name as well. Roy said.
"Thank you, Mr. Payne. Connie bowed again.
I'm going to wipe it, what do you mean, the gold is gone, is it? Payne suddenly felt dizzy, and thought to himself, didn't that old wizard do his bad luck?
-- Hoo...... I'm kidding, don't take it seriously, Wizard, Penn muttered to himself.
"Congratulations, looks like you've made a deal, right?" said Payne, stunned.
"Yes, but it cost me almost all the coins," Roy scratched his head and smiled.
"To thank you, Roy and I are going to invite you to dinner together. Connie said.
"I should have asked for it," Penn said with a smile, "and that's it, I think...... You may also need some living expenses here. ”
"That's it, I've always had a very good appetite lately," Roy said with a smile.
For the first time, Payne felt that Roy's boy's trademark smirk was so evil.
......
It was late at night, and Payne lay in bed looking at his purse in a daze. He didn't expect Roy to invite Hawk and them, and this time he left only three silver coins and twenty copper plates in his money bag.
Damn! Payne pulled out another small bag, which contained the stones that Knight Hervey had left for himself. He had already asked Uzi, this induction stone was worth about five gold coins, and its main function was induction.
"Are you going to sell it?" said Payne, hesitating. But he soon rejected the idea, and he had sworn that without this stone, he would not be able to convince Caris Mora.
As for selling weapons and equipment, it is absolutely impossible!
Unconsciously, drowsiness struck, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
His eyes widened suddenly, "I almost forgot! I curse you for having good nights...... ”
The next day, as soon as the sky was light, the commissioner of the liaison office came to him, and he was told that he would meet at the eastern gate in half an hour.
It seems that this mission is going to have to go, Payne thought, because he couldn't have watched Roy go by himself, and there was no way he could get the three of them through the winter.
When the thirteen men of Payne came to the east gate, hundreds of people had gathered at this time, and these people were all mercenaries from various mercenary battalions in the southern realm, and the hundred knights had not yet arrived.
Soon, Payne and the others found their team.
Their captain was Barber of the 7th Regiment of the Mercenary Battalion, Payne had seen him before, and the other party recognized the young man who had killed the old wolf king Tempest. However, the two did not communicate before.
"Hello, Captain. Payne greeted first.
"Hello, it's nice that we meet again. Bobble said enthusiastically. He had a good impression of the young man who had slain the enemy, and he had planned to wait until the new recruits returned, and then organize Payne into his team through George, but he didn't expect that a catastrophic turn would happen after that, and he didn't see each other again until now.
"We're still some time away from leaving, and we're calling everyone here because of ....... ”
Twenty minutes later, Payne and the others had fully understood the content of the mission.
Due to the difficulty of this mission, a part of the reward will be paid in advance, and then the time will be adjusted for half a day, around noon, when the supply merchant ships from the Golden Harbor will arrive, and then they will take a boat to the royal capital, where they will replenish another batch of supplies, and then change to the northern fortress by land.
The reason is that after arriving in the royal capital, the canal has been frozen, and merchant ships cannot move forward.
"Pack some warm clothes, the Northland is colder than you think. Bobble instructed.
"Isn't it provided by the mercenary battalion?" someone asked.
"Of course," Bobble replied with a smile, "but they were thin blankets, and they didn't do much at all." ”
Half an hour later, the paid mercenary officer arrived, Captain George.
In line with the principle of helping inside and not outside, the forty people of the eighth mercenary battalion were first paid forty silver coins, and Payne was not polite, and went directly to the city to buy a noble white-haired snow wolf coat.
Of course, he only spent five silver coins, and in the southern part of the kingdom, such an overcoat was not worth as much as a silk shirt, because no one would wear it in the scorching sun.
And the merchant who sold it obviously did not expect that the fur coat that he had squeezed for several years would be sold out in half an hour.
Because there was no leak before, the merchant did not know that there would be a team of more than 600 people going to the north, and when the mercenaries in the back were willing to pay ten silver coins to buy, they were already out of stock.
There is no snow wolf coat, of course, there are other fur coats, but compared to the degree of warmth, it will naturally be worse, the point is that the price is not cheap.
Not having to worry about food, Payne bought all the remaining silver coins for bandages and potions, while the damned Roy gave Connie another twenty silver coins, and the rest of the silver coins were all for pickled meat strips.
In this regard, Payne can only be helpless.
Towards noon, thousands of people gathered at the shipping dock on the banks of the Zmedahir River.
The waterway to the Golden Port will be officially opened after the departure of the merchant ships heading north, and the small and medium-sized sailing ships moored in the docks are waiting to go to the Golden Harbour.
And in this group of people, in addition to the knights and mercenaries, there are many onlookers, as well as people who are preparing to go to the Golden Port.
"Look, the ship is coming. "A huge three-masted galleon was sighted, and it was about forty yards long and ten yards wide.
This was followed by the second ,...... , the fifth, they sailed in a straight line, reflecting the picturesque scenery, which looked like an oil painting, quite spectacular.
