Heimarian Odyssey

“En?” Locke frowns took a closer look. The faces of the squatting people were covered with black spots smeared with plaster. Their hair should have been yellow without washing for a few days. They were wearing shabby gray cloth clothes and looked unkempt. Come out like a woman.

Gulas then smiled flatteringly. “This is a group of two dealers. When I broke the city, I saw these sneaky people, so I took them with my brothers. Didn’t expect it to be a big fish. No, those boxes are full of their goods, there are many good things!” After that, Gulas kicked open the wooden box, revealing the sparkling jewelry and gold Silver Coin.

Locke then came to understand that there is an unwritten rule like this kind of brothers who get a large number of private goods to hand in 5%, 20% to the camp, 30% to the Captain, and the rest is their own share. The reason for this rule is that there is no way for soldiers to get rid of a large number of seizures. Even if there is a channel, secretly occupying such a large wealth will cause a crack between the soldier and the officer. That’s why there is this rule.

However, Locke has rarely heard of underground soldiers grabbing large quantities of goods. Those merchants and wealthy individuals who were capable ran away before the arrival of the army, and those who were incapable would be targeted by Baron’s cavalry squadron. Baron condoned the soldiers. We make our own money, but will not condone the soldiers to make money in their pockets. If there are soldiers robbing the camp for money, this soldier will never see the 2nd day of the sun.

“Yes.” Locke praised, Locke had never made such a fortune before.

“Hehe.” Gulas didn’t speak, just smirked.

Locke looked at this beard-faced, sturdy guy, and couldn’t really see that his heart was so thin. It’s really inhumane. “You have to handle the logistics by yourself, and you can change my share to Thaler and give it to me. As for these goods, you give half to Baron’s caravan and half to a merchant named Henry in the camp.” Locke is not an unbelieving person. He intends to befriend the fat businessman, but he does not dare to give him all the soldiers seized. Who knows whether Baron will wear small shoes to him because of the profit of the caravan. Be safe. That’s right.

Since Gulas said this is a group of 2 dealers, there must be a leader. “Which one of you is the leader?” Locke asked.

The few people squatting on the ground clearly felt that the person who was questioning was the leader of these soldiers. Although they did not speak, they all looked at a thin man among them.

“It’s you?” Locke looked at this shameless man with a long rib-like look. If it weren’t for the slightly sly eyes, he might have ignored him. But looking at how he was trembling at this time, he didn’t have the imposing manner of the leader of the traffickers.

“Yes, my lord, the villain is Bick.” Although the ribs man was timid, he was still articulate. “The villain is a well-known businessman in Frans. You let the villain make a living as an adult, and the villain can bring you great wealth to the adult.”

“Oh, a two-way trafficker, smuggler, dare to call himself a businessman.” Gulas next to him gave a dismissive smile.

Locke was interested in him, not in his talents, but in his wealth. It suddenly occurred to Locke that the two dealers like this are not doing business alone. They should be a group of people. This group of people sweeps the goods, so there must be someone who receives the goods. There will be surprises.

The ribs man became anxious when he heard what Gulas said. He was especially afraid that the soldiers thought he was worthless and killed him. “The villain still looks at things. The villain has been working as a handyman in jewelry stores and pawn shops since he was a child. Practicing a pair of Golden Fire Eyes can help adults discover the baby.”

“Kerby, you can help me see this.” Locke remembered the maid’s bracelet that he had taken last night and showed him its worth.

When Nakbi heard it, he immediately wiped his hands on his clothes, took the gold bracelet, repeated observations under the light, and even flicked the bracelet with his fingers, which looked a little professional. But he quickly showed a trace of disdain, others didn’t see it, but Locke, who had been watching him, caught it.

“How?” Locke asked calmly.

“My lord, this…this…” Kerby stammered.

“Say it as soon as you have something.” Locke urged.

“My lord, this bracelet is not a high grade in my opinion. Although the weight of the bracelet is not much different from the real gold bracelet, the bracelet does not have the softness of gold. It should be mixed with copper. The weight should not be bad. Some silver was added. As for the golden, it should be coated with a layer of gold powder, and there are no other impurities. Without tools, the villain can’t see it yet.” The ribs man Kerry said everything. “In short, this bracelet is worth 5 Silver Coins at most.” At the end, Kerby also evaluated the bracelet.

Five Silver Coins can be converted into a thaler and can be converted into two silver thalers. If Locke was still eye-catching before, now, forget it.

Locke took back the bracelet. It seemed that he was in a bad mood at this time, thinking that those women had some background. But it was just the maid’s, and it was almost forgivable, Locke comforted herself so much.

Gulas is worthy of being a personality. Seeing that Locke was in a bad mood at this time, he hurriedly kicked Na Kebi, “Hurry up and show it to Locke big brother.”

When Kerby heard that the worth and lives of his group might be in the hands of the officer, he hurriedly went through the boxes to pick them up. In the end, a pair of exquisite earrings and a dark green bracelet were selected. “My lord, this is the best thing about the villain. It is suspected that an aristocratic woman was pawned by the villain. The earrings grow up so big. There are few jewels I have seen that are more precious than her. This bracelet, if the villain does not admit his mistake, it was made by Yunmo gems. The Yunmo gemstones used in such a big bracelet are certainly not small. Yunmo gemstones were used to make high-end rings in the past.”

This earring is indeed a fine piece, and the diamonds on it are very valuable. As for the bracelet Locke did not see any way, since he said it should be good. Locke didn’t say much, and put away 2 things.

It doesn’t make much sense to stay here anymore. Locke was instructed to Gulas when he left, “Leaving that kid a life, I’m useful.”

Locke went around 4 places in the city, and it was still chaotic everywhere. I am afraid that the situation will not be reduced until Baron orders to stop disturbing the people.

Locke went to the original team to take a look. Hans was taking the brothers to copy things in a grocery store. Kane was sitting on the roof in a daze. Kane is just like that. He doesn’t have a good shape and likes to take advantage. But Locke knew that the kindest person in the team was him, and he basically didn’t participate in such looting activities. Locke asked him once, and he said that seeing those Shalor civilians reminded him of the years when he was a beggar. Everyone acquiesced to his behavior, but every time he gained a share of it.

At noon, City Lord Mansion finally received an order from Baron, and the army stopped the “search” and stood by in the Xicheng District in units.

The Xicheng District is the area where Baron used the magician strikes in Kashgar. It is already a barren land, but it also means that the area is clean, just for the soldiers to camp there.

Most of the soldiers stayed up all night, plus the fierce battle before, and as soon as they were assembled, they staggered to find a place to sleep.

Locke also met an acquaintance from the Baron unit in Kashgar here. Sean, Small Captain, who was also born as a civilian, had fought side by side with Locke and had a good relationship.

“Why, are you guys here too?” Locke said hello. This is a highly hierarchical world. If Locke speaks first, it means he is still willing to make this friend.

“Yeah, Brother Locke big brother, you have been promoted, brother and I am also happy. I happened to get a good drink last night, can I go to my place tonight, I will be an affair.” Sean was very happy to see Locke still thinking about his old love. Although the two are not affiliated with the same army, but the position and military rank of others are higher than him, that is the truth. There is no harm in making friends with such people.

Those who have been in the army for more than a year understand that the most reliable person on the battlefield is themselves, followed by comrades-in-arms, which shows the importance of a friend.

“No problem.” Locke patted Sean on the shoulder, said with a laugh. As usual, there should be no tasks from now to tomorrow afternoon. Locke’s injury yesterday will not affect his drinking under the nourishment of Battle Qi.

With a mixed face in the camp, Locke returned to his small courtyard with a chicken in his hand. Hans sent it, as expected, Old Brother.

The maid Lafite was sweeping the floor in the yard, but she was worried about it at this time. Christine sat on the door frame and fiddled with her fingers. It seemed that she was getting better. Grace should be in the room. It seems that these women are not stupid and did not escape. Locke can guarantee that they will not be able to escape from this city. With the help of the maid’s jack of all trades, it is impossible.

Seeing Locke’s return, the maid Lafite made a guard gesture. But Locke ignored it, walked straight, and threw the chicken in her hand to her, “Will you deal with it?” Locke asked.

“Yes.” Lafite was still a little confused and replied blankly.

“Big brother!” Christine was very excited to see Locke coming back.

Locke rubbed Christine’s little head. He also has a good impression of little girls. Under normal circumstances, the noble soldiers who caught Shalor would give them to the officer to receive the bounty, but Locke did not intend to do so. Although they haven’t admitted their identities yet, Locke doesn’t care. These women are his for him.
