Chapter 110: Ransom
"By the way, we're about to leave, and your people haven't come back yet, have you already given up on you?"
Jia Yi looked at the time, they had had eaten breakfast for a while, but they had not yet seen the bandits who had let them go.
He looked at Balluff and Bandit Two, who had been by Balluff's side, and continued:
"After all, I have to ride on their heads when I take you back, why don't you be the boss yourself. β
"No, it won't. None of the rest of the people were of outstanding strength, and without me and Balluff leading them, they would not be able to keep those possessions, and they would only be known by other bandits and come and eat them. Unless... Unless they take refuge in others, but if they take refuge in others, the belongings in our cottage will definitely not be able to be saved, and it will be good to be able to leave a little bit for them, and some people will definitely not be willing. β
Although the second thief said this in his mouth, he didn't have any bottom in his heart, there was not much affection between the bandits, and many times his brain was hot, and it was common to do some stupid things without thinking.
People who are willing to use their brains rarely become bandits.
Although he chose to go back to his henchmen, now, he feels less confident.
Jia Yi sneered: "If it's me, I'll divide the money and fortune, and everyone will run away, and I will save you and take you back, what's the good of being a bandit." β
Bandit No. 2 was silent, he didn't know what to say, Jiayi's guess was not groundless, but there was a great possibility, if it was himself, it was difficult to say that he would not make Jia's choice.
As long as the bandits who left did not come back, his worries would not go away.
On the other side, Balluff didn't seem to be worried at all, perhaps because he couldn't leave even if someone came. It's hard to say how much affection he has for these bandits, but he knows that he is the more valuable one compared to these bandits, and it is better to follow a mage than to sell them to nobles as slaves.
Jia Yi stood up, saw that no one was coming, and said to Kelvand: "Prepare to go, it seems that those bandits will not come back, sure enough, the credit of the bandits cannot be expected too high." β
"Don't, wait a little longer, I guess there will be a bit of a delay on the road, just wait a little longer. Bandit No. 2 hurriedly begged for mercy, wanting Jiayi to give him a little more time, but he was afraid that Jiayi would think they were a burden, so he directly wiped them all away.
Jia Yi didn't have the idea of settling them on the spot, let alone today if he didn't have yesterday, and was about to speak, when he heard the sentry of the caravan in front of him running back and saying, "Here, they are coming, those bandits have really come with their belongings, several large carts." β
Jia Yi was standing not far away, and when he heard the sentry's report to Kelvande, he felt a little surprised: "The bandits here are so moisturized?"
It turned out to be a car to pull it, how many things did they transport over? Jia Yi originally thought that it would be good to have thousands of gold coins, which was almost worth the profit of this caravan.
For example, the size of Jiayi's current caravan, and it is very good to be able to have a profit of thousands of gold coins back and forth.
When they got closer, they saw the bandits coming with four wagons.
The three carriages in front were covered with tarpaulins, and there were still some blood stains on the edges of the tarpaulins, and the last one had less stuff on them, only a few large boxes on them.
When the bound bandit heard the movement, he struggled to stand up, stretched his neck to look at the bandit who was driving the carriage, and his expression, which had been a little lonely, suddenly became energetic, and it seemed that he could suddenly raise his head and hold his chest up again.
However, seeing these four carriages, the corners of Bandit No. 2's eyes twitched a little, and he was distressed.
Jia Yi glanced back at these people, and saw that they were bald, and his waist was slumped down, and he looked at Jia Yi carefully.
"I didn't think your subordinates were quite loyal. Alright, go over to you. β
He pushed all the bandits except Balluff over, and left the rest to Kelvander to take care of.
Pulling Balluff aside, he took out a piece of silver-white fine iron, and a burst of blue flames rose in his hand, smelting the refined iron into a pile of molten iron, and then mixed a little red copper and a little star sand into it, and smelted the whole mixed metal into a uniform square iron plate.
After the iron card cooled down, he carved a rune circle with his tentacles on it, and then signed his signature on it, and stamped his mage key at the same time.
The finished iron medal is silvery-white, and there is a little bit of star sand shining on it, which looks like silver stars.
He handed the iron plate to Balluff: "You take this to my brother, he will arrange for you, I will inform him in advance." This is the mage's retinue credential, with this iron card, as long as you don't kill any nobleman, you won't be careful that there is any problem, don't be afraid that someone will capture you as a slave. β
"Really, can I bring someone else with me?"
"Of course, the mage's retinue certificate can be used as a noble badge, and it can be in any country, you just need to rush to Sainz Town before the end of the year, and you can go whatever you want along the way. β
He knew that Balluff might have some ideas, but he didn't care, and then took out a small cloth bag, grabbed two handfuls of gold coins, and put them in it, and handed them to Balluff.
"Your sword was dismantled by me, you buy a weapon on the way with these gold coins, and the rest will be my travel expenses for you, and when you settle down in Cyber Territory, I will take the time to build you a simple armor as compensation. β
Balluff reached out and borrowed the bag of gold coins, and there was even a little touch.
In fact, this money can be said to be far inferior to the value of that knife, and Jia Yi had the heart to ask where those Lan Yujin got it, and he gave up after thinking about it.
He has no plans to go to the Bitter Tunchen Ice Plain at the moment, and even if he asks where he found the original ore, it is impossible to mine it, and it is likely that it has already been occupied.
The Bitter Moss Ice Plain is the territory of the barbarians, and it is not very welcoming to the humans under the ice field. The shaman above will not be like an ordinary mage, especially since the other party generally acts with barbarian warriors, and if Jia Yi really confronts the other party, he can only fight them alone.
After dealing with this batch of bandits, Jia Yi and the others continued to set off, because there were four more carriages, and they walked more slowly.
But Kelvander was reluctant to throw away these extra goods, and he came to Jiayi's side, his expression still uncontrollable excited: " My lord, I really made a lot of money this time, I just counted it, and the gold coins they sent were more than 400 gold, more than 30 gems of various colors without logos, which were almost worth about 500 gold, and other looted goods, gold and jade, sculptures, etc., there were also about 1000 gold, if they were sold slowly, they could sell more, and the remaining three cars were the last batch of medicinal materials they robbed, all of which were sold well in Karta, worth at least 1500 gold, and only this batch of medicinal materials earned more than the goods we made this tripγ Thank you really this time, when the medicinal herbs are sold, half of them will be yours, do you want to go over and see if there is anything you like. β
Overly excited, Kylvander began to use honorifics.
Although the caravan is just a cover, the money earned is real, especially this windfall, the bulk of the money must belong to his pocket, so he is so excited. A large amount of ordinary caravan income will be drawn from it, but not all of it will belong to him.
Jia Yi waved his hand: "It's good for you to keep it for yourself, it's enough for me to have that knife, I'm not short of money, you can just look at the ransom of these thieves and arrange it yourself." β
He said with an atmospheric face, but in fact, the value of the knife is not lower than the value of these goods, these goods are still worth so much money because of Kelvander has a way, if those thieves sell the stolen goods, I am afraid that they can only get half of the money, and the money that those medicinal materials can be sold is even less, and it is good to be able to have one-fifth.
Speaking of which, this harvest is the biggest for Jiayi, and the biggest loss should be Balluff, but he didn't realize that when Jiayi gave him the travel expenses, he was still grateful.
It's really sold, and I'm still helping people count money.
......
......
When the second thief saw Jia Yi and them walking away, his originally pleasant face immediately changed abruptly, and he looked at the little thief beside him with a long face: "Why are you so honest and bring our belongings here?
The little thief smiled flatteringly, and said, "How can I pull them all, boss, I specially pulled that batch of herbs here just to look too much, and I left some of our gold and silver jewels that are easy to cash without marking, and I also left some of the gold coins." β
He had a wicked smile on his face, as if to say, "Praise me", and Bandit No. 2's face improved a little: "How much do you stay?"
He hadn't seen a list of his belongings just now, at least he had seen several carriages, and he thought that all his belongings had been hauled in.
"A hundred gold coins, as well as several gold objects and some precious stones, are worth at least 300 gold, which adds up to more than 400 gold. β
"Why don't you keep a little more?" Bandit No. 2 is still a little dissatisfied, as the boss, he will never say that he is satisfied, and he always has to put some pressure on the younger brother below.
The little thief cried with a sad face: "Boss, there can't be more, I'm afraid they have opinions if they leave too much, I heard that mages can see through people's hearts, if he finds out, we won't be able to come back, if it weren't for the number of undigested medicinal materials, I wouldn't dare to leave so much." β
Bandit No. 2 thought for a while, and really didn't dare to take this risk, and said: "This time you are reasonable, you did a good job, and I will reward you when I go back, we will rush back immediately, and now that there is no Balluff, I will keep a low profile after I go back, and don't go out recently." β
Although he wanted to reward the other party, he knew that the little thief must have filled his pockets this time, he could guess it, but he couldn't expose it, and he couldn't expose it, and the little thief did a good job this time.
Now the strength of the cottage has been greatly reduced, and the most important thing is to be stable and recuperate, to maintain his prestige, and to prevent other bandits from getting the news to come and attack his group.
