The Chamber of Commerce jointly paid the guards one silver Ella coin per day.

It is said that silver coins are made only by the uneducated old farmers of the country, and there is a famous joke about the agricultural province of Inznir in neighboring Sivaliers, near the Acasta plain, about a 'warm-hearted and honest' farmer who dug up a silver nugget in a field and stubbornly demanded that only equal weight be paid.

The joke is often mentioned in the village of Avenella, closer to Inznir, and the word for 'honest' in the local dialect also means 'stupid'. So the next time an Avenella compliments you on being an honest, good guy, you'd better first check your pockets to make sure you haven't just been slaughtered by him - we're pulling away.

There are many kinds of coins in circulation, and most of them are issued by churches or the state. According to the degree of creditworthiness and the content of precious metals such as gold and silver in iron coins, the value of the two currencies is not the same as that of silver coins.

For the sake of statistical value, the countries of the West Coast have a unit of measurement that is identical in pronunciation and meaning in any language: denor.

The word 'tax' in northern languages from the time of the Spinning pirates spread to every inch of the west coast of Mobigas because of the raids of the berserkers, and even though most people are illiterate, you will understand and remember the meaning of the word every day when someone puts a sword around your neck and asks you to hand over the word 'Danor'.

The word dinono has become a standard measure of value in modern countries, and the silver coin of Ella is judged by its 'dano value', which is considered to be a relatively stable and excellent currency with a medium to high value.

Take the most ordinary hotel in Avenella as an example: the average double room is 8 denos a night, a large glass of ale is 1.5 denols, a black loaf that can satisfy you a full meal is 3.5 denols, the cheapest but unhygienic free-range pork plate is 6 deninos, and even with honey, about 10 to 15 deninos is enough to meet the needs of a normal adult for a meal.

One silver Ella coin is worth 150 denno - that is, you can eat at least ten meals with wine and meat in a cheap inn, if you don't worry about dying of diarrhea.

15 Ella silver coins in 15 days, although it is not particularly high, but the money earned is enough for the two of them to live for a while. You must know that the savings that Mira had worked hard for many years before this were only 3.5 Ella Silver, and after this period of expenses, they had not much left.

So passing the test is more or less to find a whereabouts for the next period of life. And due to Henry's relatively outstanding performance on the test ground and the care of the bald middle-aged man for some reason, the two were not only mentioned as 1.5 silver coins per day, but also received two silver coins directly after the end as an advance before the caravan departed, as well as the source of life for these three days.

Looking at the portrait of the beautiful girl on the silver coin with a metallic color, the white-haired Luoan girl sighed that it was good to be rich, and at the same time looked at her current teacher in name with disdain.

"Why would you be so poor if you could have made so much money in the first place, Mr. Sage is the worst adult. There were two small single beds in the small wooden hotel room, the mattress made of linen and wool had a strange smell that could not be dissipated because I don't know how many people had been lying down, Mira sat by the open wooden window and breathed in the fresh air, while Henry lay on it with a leisurely expression that did not care.

"Because it's troublesome," Henry tossed his silver coin with a ding, and the girl hurried down from the windowsill and quickly reached out to catch it.

"If you have something to eat and a place to sleep, you can live, and everything else is outside your body," the sage turned his back and said, while the white-haired big Lori looked at him with disdain again: "Is this what a guy who eats other people's soft rice should say?"

She said this, and Henry, who seemed to be tired, turned his back to her quietly, and after a while the sound of even breathing began.

"......" Mira looked at the back of the unsuspecting sage, who she often felt like a child, in many places.

But his rich knowledge and strong combat effectiveness are incompatible with these. The girl hadn't seen many fighters, but the simplicity and decisiveness of the fighting style that even a layman like her could tell was not an ordinary warrior.

At the same time the weapon of his choice...... Mira looked at the extra-long sword that was leaning casually against her.

It's only when you're really close enough to figure it out that you discover the beauty of the sword.

Its scabbard is unique, with a short half-sheath made of hard leather at the bottom that sits around the tip of the sword, and a simple metal hook near the sword's gauntlet, attached to the belt it carries.

Mira didn't need to be a combat expert to be able to tell that this design was designed to facilitate the drawing of the greatsword behind her back, and it was quickly pulled out by simply lifting it up and detaching the gauntlet from the metal hook.

Simple and efficient, just like the user of the weapon itself - but these thought-provoking designs are nothing compared to the greatsword itself.

For more than a week of traveling together, Mira didn't pay much attention to the great sword, perhaps because the gore she witnessed at the time made her deliberately avoid it. But when Prince Edward mentioned the sword and Henry, she couldn't help but start to take a serious look at the man she didn't know much about.

Henry's greatsword is very beautiful.

At a cursory glance, I just think it's very ordinary. But when you get up close and look closely, you'll find that it's truly wonderful.

The length of the hilt is longer than that of an ordinary one-and-a-half sword, which can be grasped by both hands, and it is about the same as that of a two-handed sword, and the slender hilt that can be put down three hands is wrapped in a delicate layer of animal skin. Looking down, unlike the straight gauntlets that ordinary one-handed swords, one-and-a-half swords, and two-handed swords would use, Henry's greatsword chose a standardized and refined inverted V-shape.

Crafted from the same steel as the hammer-shaped weight ball at the end, it was so mesmerizing to reflect the light projected through the window - but even more wonderful than that was the blade of the greatsword.

It was a material that Mira had never seen before, and her years as a waitress in the hotel were not too short, and the highest level of mercenaries she had seen over the years was already an orange brand. The girl had heard of each other's weapons when they had been boasting and comparing them all year round - but even then she had never heard of them, let alone seen weapons made of such materials.

The delicate luster of the blade is layered on top of each other like waves—but they don't look like they're painted or engraved.

- It's more like it's something that exists in nature, or it's forged by a skilled craftsman...... Thinking so, Mira once again looked at the back of the sage who had slept peacefully.

......

......

Time flies, and on the morning of the third day, the two of them who have fully rested came to the fountain square in Dongcheng District.

This is where the Chamber's joint wagon will be located, and it will be from here that the mighty procession will set off along the main road of Ecasta and head north, passing through Fort Ellen and then through Inznir to Vasha, the largest port on the west coast, to complete the trade for the quarter.

Mira had probably never seen so many people belong to the same team at the same time in her life.

Horses and carriages of all kinds, mercenaries, travelers, merchants, and escorts lined up in a long procession. From the vegetable market in Dongcheng District to the fountain square, if you stand on a high place, you can see that the leading team has already left the city gate at this moment.

"A lot of ......," the girl sighed as her pale blue eyes widened, the entire team, including the mercenary escort, had already exceeded a thousand, and such a large team, ordinary thieves and beasts, and even monsters, would obediently detour when they saw it, no wonder it would be such a beautiful difference that countless people could get by squeezing their heads.

You only need to walk to get the reward, it's really good to have strength--the girl sighed, and the next moment she felt a pull coming from her back collar-Henry pulled her back a little.

“...... What are you doing?" the girl turned around, and the sage's voice was a little chilly, but she immediately realized that it was not asking herself.

"Tsk, didn't you step on it?" replied to him, and the voice was flirtatious and youthful, and the girl turned her head, and a young man with half-long blond curly hair, about 20 years old, sat on a horse and looked at them condescendingly.

"Yo, is this still angry, poor ghost. A distinct smile appeared on his face in the face of Henry's questioning, and then he said in a flirtatious voice: "Do you know who I am?

"How much do you want," he pulled out a heavy, delicate pouch of animal skins from his clothes, and then released the mouth of the pouch to show it to Henry.

"A hundred silver coins, or two hundred, although this thing may be worth two silver coins, but I willingly buy it and put it on the horse, hahahaha" The blond-haired young man turned his head to look at the other two young men who were also riding horses next to him, and the other had a mixed smile on their faces, obviously this man's henchman.

"How's it going, poor ghost guard," the blond-haired young man asked Henry with a laugh, and the sage hung his head in silence.

"Let's go," he said to Mira, and the white-haired girl nodded sensibly and left with Henry.

"Well, let's go, why don't I add 300 to 500 silver coins to buy your Roan slave! Poor ghost! this is money you can't earn in your lifetime!" the two of them made their way through the gap between the carriages towards the front of the group, and the blonde man behind them shouted in a voice that everyone could hear.

"......" Henry was a little silent, and he looked down at Mira, but it happened that at this time he met the pure pale eyes - the girl was also looking at him.

"I'm fine, I'm used to this situation for a long time" The 11-year-old Lori smiled gently at Henry, and the sage was silent, reaching out and touching her little head.

"I was comforted by you in turn," Henry shook his head and smiled wryly, and then continued to walk forward with Mira.

"Phew!" When they were almost on the other side of the market, the two were noticed by Adele, who was assigning her tasks, and the red-haired mercenary waved at them, signaling for Henry and the others to come closer.

"I heard that guy shouting, and it was a wise decision for you not to get into a conflict with him. He is the son of one of the more influential chamber directors in the Chamber of Commerce, although we often call him an illegitimate child in private because of his unsuccessful appearance, but this can only be said in private. Adela, looking a little helpless, looked at Henry and then at Mira, and then nodded as if she suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, why don't you come and follow us on the road. ”

"Ordinary freelance mercenaries generally don't have any arrangements and act on their own, although I know you have no problem alone. But following our side will take care of it more or less, and ...... Some things for girls will be better if they have same-sex care. Adella looked at Mila and said, and Henry looked at her, not speaking, but apparently asking for her opinion.

"Thanks, but I don't think I need to," Mira replied in a very formal tone, and the red-haired mercenary did not insist. The Luoan people are now mostly known as bandits and rogues in society, and it is natural that the Fude Mercenary Group, as a professional escort team, will inevitably have to deal with them during their many years of mission.

If there is fighting, there will be casualties and hatred, and considering the hostile guys within the mercenary group, the two of them may only feel uncomfortable when they come over.

Presumably, this girl also took this into account and chose to refuse because she didn't want to create more contradictions. Adella thought so, then shook her head and nodded: "Then I'll go and prepare, if there is anything, remember to come to me, look for the green maple leaf logo of the Fude Mercenary Group, we will be in the middle of the team, protecting important assets." ”

She said, and Henry and Mira nodded together, and walked forward a little.

"It's right here, you should be able to avoid that guy here. The two stopped beside an open-air carriage, in front of which were dozens of wagons carrying light and large quantities of goods such as cloth and wool, and further back were heavier tobacco, salt, and spices that needed to be sealed in containers, and the most valuable magical materials and minerals were in the center of the most guarded and guarded procession.

The purpose of this combination was twofold: one was that the lightweight carriage could be used by subsequent heavy carriages after the road had passed. The other way around, the wheels carrying the heavy load rolled deep over the fully deformed road, and there was no way for other carriages to walk.

Another reason is that these inexpensive goods can be quickly discarded in the event of a bandit, and the wagons can be overturned as obstacles to create a favorable fighting environment.

The vanguard team is cheap and disposable, so the only ones who will come here are the freelance mercenaries, except for the coachmen and a few necessary escorts.

Here, Henry and Mira will be able to avoid the harassment of the boy who has no one in their eyes, and spend half a month quietly.

The two of them thought so, and a long horn came from the direction of the city gate in front of them.

"Uhhh

"Uhhh

"Uhhh

The sound of the trumpets in the distance was louder than anyone's shouting, and the whole long motorvoy was in good spirits.

It's time to go.
