The rest of the trip was smooth sailing. Although there have been some thieves on the way, they are all clown-like characters, and they don't even need Durham and Ike to solve them. The northern frontier of the empire also has a light snow, and the sparse villages are even more beautiful under the snow. Fortunately, the temperature here is not very cold compared to the Kingdom of Liber.

"I remember Ray once described the snow to me. Icarus recalls the funny stories Leonard told him when he was still in the palace.

"It's broken. Leave Ray alone at the Academy. Icarus finally remembered what he had forgotten before leaving.

[Yes, there is such a storage as Leonard, if he had been pulled in the first place, the previous incident would not have happened at all] Zero regretted forgetting the relationship between Leonard and Icarus when he went out.

"Go back and apologize to him. Ai Xue comforted Icarus.

"Hmm. ”

"Ah, we're almost there. Lena stretched her waist, and it was evident that she hadn't slept well these nights.

"Tonight, we'll stay at the inn in Winterwood Town for one night, and someone from the Chamber of Commerce will come to pick us up tomorrow. Having come to this point, Jonas was naturally relieved.

"But after this incident, my partnership with your mercenary group has come to an end. According to what I said before, I will pay you double the reward, a total of 1000 gold coins, which will be paid by my Chamber of Commerce, please rest assured. ”

"It's okay, if you need it, feel free to come back to us again, A Song of Ice and Fire is always ready to serve you. ”

"Okay, about the secrets of this shipment, please continue to help keep it. Jonas re-emphasized.

"Definitely, definitely. Duren replied quickly.

Of course, no one planned to stay in Winterwood, and after one night, Jonas's Chamber of Commerce took over the four truckloads of goods and paid nine 100 Federation Crystal Coins as promised, and the 13-man team was preparing to reverse the voyage.

"Isn't the crystal coin of the federation only exchanged for huàn or used within the territory of the federation?" Zero still clearly remembered the method and restrictions on the use of crystal coins on the mainland.

"That's right, but when we get back from the Federation, we can convert them all into gold coins on the way. Durham began to say the route of the return that had been laid out long ago.

"We came to take a detour from the Empire because of the stockpiling of those goods, which forced us to look far away. But we've lost that baggage now, and of course it's going faster from the Union side. ”

"We've always been on this route before. Sivir added.

"Unlike ordinary gold, imprinted gold coins are not considered goods, so when we return to the Kingdom from the Federation, we will not be checked by the checkpoints, and naturally we will not have to pay any fees. From here, head north and you will reach the territory of the Federation. Now it's time to go. ”

The Crotian Federation, compared to the Ningyue Empire and the Liber Kingdom, is a newborn born who is only 100 years old, but he is full of vitality. It is not a place where force is worshipped, and there are not many powerful magicians, but it is a stage for merchants. There are no kings and emperors in the Federation, and the parliament determines the country's constitution, and all the members of the council are elected by the people, and the highest position is the twelve speakers elected by the parliament. The idea of freedom and democracy has been deeply rooted in the minds of the people over the past 100 years, and it is not an empty slogan. Everyone believed that even if they did not have the talent to learn martial arts and magic, they could only work hard and be recognized by the people through guò business. In this country, money is the highest measure of a person's strength.

"This is a country without nobility, perhaps for the commoners, it is much better than the kingdom and the empire, at least everyone is born with the same chance. Duren sighed.

"I don't think this kind of system is very good, if there is no nobleman to manage it, there will be chaos. Kishu said.

"I don't think so. Zero looked at the bustling scene on the street and denied it. Even in this kind of border town, the streets have a peaceful atmosphere. The hawkers of street vendors, the running vehicles and the traveling merchants make people feel more intimate.

"Everyone here has their own goals, from ordinary street vendors, to traveling merchants, to having their own shop pù and even a chamber of commerce, which is probably the life journey that everyone wants to go through. It can be seen that people who live in this atmosphere are happy. I guess we don't want this status quo to be ruined. "The system here is undoubtedly more advanced than the Libel Kingdom and the Ningyue Empire, as a traverser, Zero is so sure.

"Speaking of which, it seems that we have come full circle around the territory of the Bright Sect. Kaos suddenly spoke out of the blue.

"That's true. Kate continued, "The Holy See is originally located between the three kingdoms. We walked around the Holy See in about the shortest distance. ”

"It's no wonder that people in white robes have been seen occasionally coming and going lately. Ai Xue suddenly realized.

"Well, these people are all followers of the God of Light. Only the cultists could enter and leave the territory, otherwise passing through there would be the closest option. Sivir added to it.

"Let's find a place to exchange these crystal coins for huàn first. Durham set his sights on a small chamber of commerce not far away.

"I'm sorry, we don't have that much cash here, we can only exchange 500 gold coins at most, and the rest can be exchanged for 100 crystal coins issued by Huàn for the Kingdom of Libel. ”

"Yes, that's it. "Durham handed over the nine crystal coins to the person in charge here.

"Please wait...... Okay, that's what you're asking for. Four crystal coins with the kingdom's imprint and 10 money bags were neatly stacked on the counter. Gold coins are very heavy things, and the general money bag can hold about 50 pieces at most, so it is also very convenient to carry, more than 100 gold coins will basically be exchanged into crystal coins, and rare artifacts such as space rings will never be used to store gold, which is too cheap.

"Here, you deserve it. Duren handed over the 4 crystal coins to Zero and Ai Xue, and the distribution method was clear at a glance.

"Does anyone have an opinion?" asked Durham to the crowd.

"No!" Rudolph took a money bag.

"Nope. "Kate, Sivir and Snooker also took their share.

"Then we're embarrassed. Kishu didn't back down anymore, and took Marikornu's share by the way.

Zero and Ai Xue, who had the most credit, each received 200, with Captain Duren keeping the first 100 gold coins and the rest each getting 50. The 1000 gold coins were thus divided by 13 people. As for the 50 gold coins that completed the task, they naturally had to be handed over to the regiment commander.
