Warhammer Throne

"What's wrong outside?" Veronica walked to the man's side: "Who is following us?"

"No, that person hasn't left yet," Lane said softly.

The plan of the two of them was originally to investigate the trend of the Aesthetic Society, but as soon as they appeared in the Shield Currency block, they found that they were being followed.

The tracker is of extraordinary strength. Ryan and Veronica tried to make a few laps. The tracker kept biting them. The kind of nonchalant gaze followed the two people all the street without stopping.

So Ryan and Veronica summed it up. They were just like dating, walking around the street and trying on clothes. The two went to the tailor shop more than half a block away and bought a lot of clothes each.

"Don't go yet? It's really difficult." Veronica bit her lip: "So what did you see?"

"Do you remember my experience at Nord? At that time, there was a mercenary group acting with me ..." Ryan said briefly to Veronica, and then said: "You continue to try clothes. , Shall I go out and see? "

"My dear, our main goal is to complete the task, but not really to buy clothes. You go out to see what is going on, I will come immediately." Veronica shook her head, she signaled Ryan to go out to see first, herself immediately Just come.

So Ryan walked out of the tailor shop. He found that the dozen or so surviving members of the Blood Axe mercenary group were gathering on the street corner. Several sailor-dressed people were holding them, and they were not allowed to go. At first glance is the captain.

"Scammers! Scammers! Quickly get the money! Let the guards arrest you without me! Put you all in the water cell!"

"Mr. Captain, we have no intention of deceiving you. We are also deceived. Our blood axe is most honest. We have no intention of using lead blocks to deceive you! The commissions we receive have also become lead blocks."

It was arguing outside. The captain and the sailors loomed the crowd of the Blood Axe Mercenary Corps. Emilia was wearing a thin fur coat and tight leather pants. She shivered in the cold wind and the girl's face was pink. Bai, still trying to explain: "Mr. Captain was also present when the great alchemist delivered the commission."

"Impossible!" The captain standing in front of Emilia was much taller than Emilia. Her size was only about one meter six or three, and she stood a little petite in front of the captain standing one nine meters tall. , Especially the captain's fierce and evil look, makes the girl's figure seem thin.

The faces of the remaining men in the Blood Axe mercenary group were rather sad, and the deputy commander Wilt's face was full of shame and anger, and only then noticed that he had some lead in his hand.

"It must be you! You are greedy for gold, and secretly replaced the gold with lead during the journey, and then pretended to be a victim to deceive us!" The captain's face was full of anger, he was directly facing Emilia Reaching out: "Let me see, is gold hidden in your little bitch?"

"Ah!" Amelia stepped back and forth in fright, and the weak female mercenary was grabbed by her shoulder.

"Stop!" Ryan stood up at the right moment: "What's going on? Please don't use force!"

"Mr. Ryan ?!" Emilia saw Ryan showing up and subconsciously patted the captain's hand and hid beside him.

"Are you ... that Mr. Lane?" The captain immediately realized who the person in front of him was, and he swallowed. "That, I didn't mean it, I am also a victim!"

"Poof ~ who are the victims?" Veronica's voice appeared beside Ryan from high to low.

"We are all victims!" Who knows how mercenaries and sailors speak in common.

Ryan learned the whole story intermittently from Emilia and the captain.

It turned out that the day after Ryan left, the imperial emperor Karl Franz came to Mijoden Haven. After a short break, the emperor led his army to the front to meet the barbarian army and win a big victory.

On the way back to the imperial team, the alchemist Baier Shaze-Galter once again returned to Mijoden Haven. He proposed that a group of mercenaries need to help him do one thing, specifically what the mercenaries do not A lot of things said, in short, the deputy commander Wilt, who was worried about how to restore his vitality in the future, was overjoyed. He felt that even if it was on the line with the Imperial Royal Wizard College, he took the task decisively.

So the few remaining members of the Blood Axe Mercenary Regiment followed Galt to board the ship from Millauden Haven, and took the boat to Marienburg.

There was nothing wrong with the voyage for a few days, but when boarding the ship, the alchemist did a strange thing. He took out a large amount of gold and gave it to Wilt in front of the captain. The money included blood Axe commissions and boat fees.

After the ship docked, Galt left directly. When the blood axe opened the bag, it was found that the gold in the bag turned into lead!

This time the captain stopped, he was determined that the blood axe mercenary group secretly replaced the gold, and asked them to pay the boat fee.

The problem lies here, when the gold started, the blood axe mercenary group was repeatedly identified as true pure gold, so they had confirmed the payment when they signed the contract with the alchemist, but now all the gold has become lead , They really have no way of asking.

The problem now is that they ca n’t pay the shipping fee, and the best flight is under the package of Galt. The shipping fee for this entire mercenary regiment plus his own shipping fee is up to more than twenty gold coins. The mercenary Where can the group afford the money? Even after completing Teresa's mission, they did get some money, but the distance was not enough.

After listening to this remark, Ryan thought that even if the problem was with Galt, the blood axe would have nowhere to go, because the contract they signed proved that Galt had already paid, so what would the alchemist use to pay? Not so important, whether he completed the transaction with thatch or gold, the transaction has already been completed. Even if the blood axe was reported to the emperor, the emperor could not help them.

Seeing Ryan appear and knowing these mercenaries, the captain felt a little bad, but he still said daringly: "The famous human hero, Mr. Ryan who fought back thousands of barbarian troops with one person will also Do you protect these debtors? "

"No, the fare dispute between you has nothing to do with me, I just want to remind you, please wait for the ruling, don't use force, understand?" Lane said Emilia behind him, said lightly.

"When ... of course, I was just a little excited just now, and I apologize to the lady mercenary." The captain was very happy when he saw that Ryan did not intend to interfere in this matter. In order not to offend the famous human hero, he hurried towards Emilia apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Mercenary."

Amelia calmly accepted the captain's apology. The maid bit her lips gently, and she was worried about the fate of the blood axe.

The Poseidon Knight appeared soon. The Poseidon Knight in full body armor saw Ryan stunned for a moment. Ryan immediately said that he was just looking at the bustling, he did not intend to intervene in this matter.

So the mercenary and the captain were invited to enter the Maritime Church together for arbitration. Ryan said to Veronica: "Are you interested in going to listen? Anyway, it is afternoon for us to go to the Aesthetic Club."

"If you must, okay." Veronica just glanced at Amelia standing behind Ryan, and a clear look flashed in her eyes as she reached out and touched the small face of the maid. : "What a beautiful girl! What's your name?"

Fear flashed in Emilia's eyes. She knew that her disguise was seen by the witch in front of her, and quickly hid behind Ryan: "My name is Emilia, the beautiful witch."

"Don't bully other girls, it's not easy for her to be a female maid by herself." Seeing Veronica is very interested in her, Ryan said helplessly.

"Emilia ... is it?" Veronica smiled, but Lane finally thought the witch's smile was dangerous.

Seeing Emilia tremble with cold, Ryan took out a blanket made of white wolf skin and put it on the shoulders of the maidservant, motioning for her to follow him in and listen to the situation.

It was as if he was really involved in this matter.

In the shadow of the corner of the street, a man watched Ryan and others enter the Ocean Church together. He confused himself for a while, and finally decided to continue to wait.

The three entered the arbitration tribunal, and the Poseidon knights were very friendly when they saw Ryan coming in. The priest specially served him a snack, so they sat in the arbitration tribunal and listened to the situation in the court. Wilt and the captain were in court. Both hold the same word, but it is clear that the Blood Axe Mercenary Corps is at a disadvantage, because their arrears of the shipping fee are real.

The three sat side by side in the wooden auditorium next to the arbitral tribunal. A temple priest was listening to the facts presented by both parties. Emilia sat on the left of Ryan, Veronica sat on the right of Ryan, and listened for a while. The statement, the Witch of Galan shook her head: "The blood axe cannot win, the evidence is too bad for them, but this is not to blame them, after all, the other party is an unscrupulous alchemist."

"Unscrupulous Alchemist?" Ryan came to curiosity: "How do you say?"

"There is a special alchemy school in the Imperial College of Wizards." Veronica paused, a bit disgusted in her tone: "The wizards of the alchemy school not only study magic, they also learn chemical and physical knowledge, among which the most famous It is the great alchemist Baier Shaze-Galter. This great alchemist not only has a great mastery in magic, but also has a lot of contributions in gunpowder and engineering. His existence greatly eased the imperial royal engineering. The natural hostility of the College and the Imperial Royal Wizard College. "

"But there is a situation here that there is a part of the alchemy wizard who abuses magic to convert gold consumption and engages in economic market inflation. These converted gold eventually return to their original metal after a certain period of time (depending on their magic), this fraud The behavior as an economic crime severely discredited the imperial royal college ’s good reputation over the years, and the people often protested against such incidents. ”Veronica said of this matter, the sweet face was all black lines:“ So royal The Wizarding College specifically stipulates that alchemists who dare to do this should be punished. "

"What punishment?" Ryan asked next. Ryan thought that the wizards would not be regulated by secular laws. What punishment could he give?

"Of course, the wizards will not be exiled or imprisoned, but they will still be publicly punished, that is, they will be whipped by the law enforcement officer of the Wizarding Academy at Caishikou for all people. For the caster, This is already a heavy punishment. "Veronica shrugged." At least I can't accept it. If I were to do this, I might hide in your bedroom for a few years. "

"That great alchemist still does this?" Ryan felt quite incomprehensible, and Galt was guilty of knowing it.

"The great alchemist himself is the biggest unscrupulous alchemist! He likes to use this technique to deceive food, drink, buy intelligence, and bribe the guard, but first of all, the gold he has produced is stable and the change time is very long, the victims are difficult Found on the spot, and then, even afterwards, did he dare to trouble him? Do n’t forget, he is the dean of the Alchemy School of the Imperial Royal Wizard College! The legendary high-level wizard, a humanoid mobile magic turret , Who wants to offend him because of such things, or even die? "

"Puff ~ It can be said that it is very unscrupulous." Lane couldn't help laughing.

"Lean, you carefully look at the bulletin board in Marienburg. You can definitely find the notice of Bounty Galt, but do you think anyone dares to take it?" Veronica gently held Ryan's arm and whispered. Say: "Sometimes I think this is really powerful, it's just doing whatever I want."

"But I won't allow you to do this." Ryan glanced at the Galan witch, Veronica nodded gently. This was her commitment to the man in front of her, and she would not cross the bottom line in doing things.

"So ..." Emilia said suddenly, and the girl's voice was weak and regretful: "When signing the contract, I persuaded the deputy leader not to sign the contract that rashly, but the deputy leader thought that this would make If the great wizard is unhappy, the great wizard may find someone else. "

After talking, the girl seemed to make up her mind. She said softly to Lane: "Mr. Lane, please save the Blood Axe mercenary group? I know you have the ability to save us, please."

Lane frowned, out of instinct, he didn't want to agree, he had already been persecuted once by the wandering knight named Ike in this matter, and what can he get by helping this mercenary group?

A mercenary regiment of the level of Blood Axe is like a crucian carp in Marienburg. With Ryan ’s current status and reputation, it is too easy for him to want a mercenary regiment to help him. If the Blood Axe cannot show his own Value, he will not help.

Ryan has never been a good man, and the Blood Axe mercenary regiment is not an effort.

"The result of the arbitration is out." Veronica signaled the matter later.

Sure enough, the priest of the Ocean Church ruled that the blood axe was defeated, and the deputy commander Wilt was ashamed. He said to the priest in a huff: "I don't have enough money to pay the boat fee now."

"Huh! You're embarrassed to take a boat without money?" Seeing his victory, the captain's attitude became arrogant again: "I don't care, please pay the shipping fee immediately, so many of you, together, you must be rich, If you really have no money, you draw lots yourself to see who sells them to the slave market? "

"You! You bastard!" Wilt yelled angrily: "The **** with no conscience, the scum filled with money in his head!"

"Quiet! Quiet!" The Poseidon priest struck the wooden hammer hard, beckoning everyone to be quiet. The Poseidon knights standing in the arbitral tribunal also scabbed out of the sheath. The powerful force deterred everyone to calm down.

"Twenty-five gold dinars and sixteen silver coins in total. I don't want any silver coins either. You can pay with gold mark or gold kronor ... can you say that? Can you do this? Your priest?" The captain first reported loudly After paying the boat fare, he said that he had generously saved the mercenaries from the odds ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ and then humbly sought the consent of the Poseidon priest.

Obviously this is not the first time he has encountered such a thing. The captain is already a veteran.

But the Blood Axe mercenary regiment couldn't make up the money. More than a dozen mercenaries exhausted their last copper plate, and they took out less than ten gold dinars.

Emilia pulled out all her savings since becoming a mercenary, and four gold dinars were handed over to Wilt.

It ’s still not enough. There are still ten gold dinars, otherwise the mercenaries will have to take very dangerous missions under the agency of the church, or someone will be sold as a slave.

So Emilia made her final efforts. In order to protect the mercenary regiment who saved her life, she walked to Ryan's side and said softly, "Please do me a favor? Will I be able to return you afterwards?" Kindness. "

Then Emilia spoke softly in Gothic to Ryan's ear.

Lane opened his eyes wide.

Emilia, can you speak Gothic? !
