"What's wrong outside?" Veronica walked to the man's side: "The person who followed us has gone?"

"No, that person hasn't Go." Ryan said softly.

The plan for the two people today was to investigate the movement of the Aesthetic Society, but as soon as they appeared in the Duncoin block, they found themselves being followed.

The stalker is extraordinary. Ryan and Veronica tried to go around a few times, and the stalker kept biting them. The faintly discernable gaze followed the two people for the whole street. Stop.

So Ryan and Veronica put it together. They just went shopping all over the street and tried on clothes as if they were actually dating. The two went to the tailor shop in most of the block and bought each. Lots of clothes.

"Have you left? It's really difficult." Veronica bit her lip: "Then what did you see?"

"Do you remember my stay at Nord Experience? At that time, there was a mercenary group that acted with me..." Ryan briefly talked about the matter with Veronica, and then said: "You continue to try on clothes, I'll go out and see?"

"My dear, our main goal is to complete the task, and it's not really buying clothes. You go out to see what's going on, I'll come right away." Veronica shook her head, and she motioned for Ryan to go out first. Take a look, you will come right away.

So Ryan walked out of the tailor's shop, and he found that the last dozen people in the blood axe mercenary group were gathering on the corner of the street next to them. Several people dressed as sailors were holding them. , Just don't let them go, the person in the head is the captain at first glance.

"Liar! Fraudster! Get the money! Don’t let me let the guards arrest you! Put you all in a water jail!"

"Mr. Captain, we We have no intention to deceive you, we are also deceived. Our blood axe is most concerned about integrity. We have no intention to use lead to deceive you! The commission we received has also become a lead."

There is a quarrel outside, the captain and The sailors faintly surrounded the people of the blood axe mercenary group. Emilia was only wearing thin fur clothes and tight leather pants. She was shaking in the cold wind. The girl's face was white with cold, but she still worked hard. Explaining: "Mr. Captain was also present when the great alchemist paid the commission."

"Impossible!" The captain standing in front of Emilia is much taller than Emilia, Emily Ya is only about 1.63 meters tall. Standing in front of the 1.9 meter tall captain, she looks a little petite. Especially the captain's fierce look makes the girl's silhouette even thinner.

The faces of the remaining people in the blood axe mercenary group are quite sad, and the deputy commander Wilt’s face is full of shame and anger. Only then did Ryan notice that he was holding some Lead block.

"It must be you! You are greedy for gold. During the journey, you secretly replaced the gold with lead, and then pretended to be victims to deceive us!" The captain's face was full of anger, he Directly moved towards Emilia extend the hand: "Let me see, is the gold hidden in your little bitch?"

"Ah!" Emilia was so scared. Backing away, the female mercenary who was not strong was grabbed by the shoulders.

"Stop!" Ryan stood up at the right time: "What's the matter? Please don't use force!"

"Mr. Ryan?!" Emilia saw Ryan appear. , Subconsciously slapped off the captain's hand and hid beside him.

"Are you... that Mr. Ryan?" 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!"

"pu~ Who are the victims?" The voice of the high heels went from far to near, and Veronica appeared next to Ryan.

"We are all victims!" Who knows the words of mercenaries and sailors.

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

It turned out that on the 2nd day after Ryan left, the Emperor Karl-Franz came to Mijolden Haven. After a short rest, the Emperor led his army to the front line to meet the Barbarian Race army. Get a complete victory.

On the way back to the imperial army, the great alchemist Baiershazer-Gelter returned to Mijoldenhaven again. He proposed that he needed a group of mercenaries to do something for him, specifically It’s hard to say what mercenaries do. In short, the deputy commander Wilt, who is worried about how to recover his vitality in the future, can be said to be overjoyed. He thinks this is a tie-in with the Imperial Family Wizard Academy, so he decisively takes over the task. .

So the few remaining members of the blood axe mercenary group followed Gelt on board from Millaudon Haven, and took the boat to Marienburg.

A few days of sailing did not cause any problems, but when boarding the ship, the great alchemist did a strange thing. He took out a large sum of gold and handed it to Vail in front of the captain. Especially, this money includes the commission of the blood axe and the boat fee.

Gelter left directly after the ship docked. When the blood axe opened the bag, they discovered that all the gold in the bag had turned into lead!

Now the captain quit, he insisted that the blood axe mercenary group secretly exchanged the gold, and demanded that they pay the ship fee.

The problem lies here. When the gold was purchased, the blood axe mercenary group had repeatedly verified that the gold was true and correct. Therefore, when they signed the contract with the great alchemist, they had already confirmed that the payment was correct, but now All the gold has become a piece of lead, and they really have nowhere to ask.

The problem now is that they can’t pay the boat fare, and Gelt’s charter is the best flight. The boat fare of the entire mercenary group plus his own boat fare is as much as two With more than a dozen Gold Coins, where can the mercenary group afford the money? Even if they did get some money after completing Teresa's mission, it was far from enough to pay the ship fare.

After listening to this remark, Ryan thought that even if the problem was with Gelt, Blood Axe would have nowhere to ask, because the contract they signed proved that Gelt had paid, then It doesn't matter what payment the great alchemist uses. Whether he completes the transaction with thatch or gold, the transaction has already been completed. Even if the blood axe told the emperor at this point, the emperor could not help them.

Seeing Ryan appearing and seeming to know these mercenaries, the captain felt a little bad, but he still brace oneself and said: "The famous human hero retreated thousands of Barbarians with one person. Will Mr. Ryan of the Race Army also protect these debtors?"

"No, the ship fare dispute between you has nothing to do with me. I just want to remind you, please wait for the ruling and don’t use force. Understand?" Ryan said lightly, protecting Emilia behind him.

"When...Of course, I was just a little excited just now. I apologized to this mercenary Young Lady." The captain was very happy to see that Ryan did not intend to interfere in this matter, in order not to offend this famous throughout the world. The human hero, he quickly moved towards Emilia and apologized: "I'm sorry, the mercenary Young Lady."

Emilia calmly accepted the captain’s apology, and the mercenary bit gently Lips, she was worried about the fate of Blood Axe.

The sea Divine Knight appeared soon. The sea Divine Knight in the plate armor was stunned when he saw Ryan appear. Ryan immediately said that he was just watching the excitement and he did not intend to intervene in this matter.

So the mercenary and the captain were invited to enter the Ocean Church together to accept arbitration. Ryan moved towards Veronica and said: "Are you interested in going in and listening? Anyway, it will be afternoon when we go to Aestheticism." ."

"If you must, okay." Veronica just glanced at Emilia who was standing behind Ryan, a clear look flashed in her eyes, she reached out and moved towards The female mercenary touched her small face: "What a beautiful girl! What's her name?"

Fear flashed in Emilia's eyes, she knew that her disguise was seen through by the witch in front of her. , Hurrying to hide behind Ryan: "My name is Emilia, the beautiful lord of the witch."

"Don't bully other little girl. It's not easy for her to be a mercenary outside by herself." Seeing that Veronica was very interested in her, Ryan said helplessly.

"Emilia...Is it?" Veronica smiled, but Ryan finally felt that the witch's smile was dangerous.

Seeing Emilia shivering with cold, Ryan took out a blanket made of White Wolf leather and put it on the shoulders of the mercenary, motioning her to go in with him to listen to the situation.

As if he was really involved in this incident.

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

The three people entered the arbitration tribunal. When the Divine Knights saw Ryan coming in to observe, they looked very friendly, and the pastor specially gave him snacks, so they sat in the arbitration tribunal, listening to the audience. Regarding the situation, Wilt and the captain held their own words in the court, but it was obvious that the blood axe mercenary group was at a disadvantage, because it was real that they were in arrears.

The three are sitting side by side in the wooden gallery next to the arbitration tribunal. A temple priest is listening to the facts stated by both parties. Emilia is sitting on Ryan’s left and Veronica is sitting. Ryan’s right, after listening to the statement for a while, the Garland Witch shook her head: "The blood axe impossible won. The evidence is too bad for them, but they are not to blame, after all, the opponent is an unscrupulous great alchemist."

"The unscrupulous great alchemist?" Ryan came to curiosity: "How to say?"

"There is a special alchemy school in the Imperial Family Wizard Academy." Veroni There was a pause, and his tone was a little disgusting: "The wizards of the alchemy school not only learn magic, they also learn chemistry and physics. The most famous one is the great alchemist Baiershaze-Geert, the great alchemist. The master not only has profound knowledge in magic, but also made many contributions to gunpowder and engineering. His existence greatly eases the natural hostility of the Imperial Family Engineering Academy and the Imperial Family Wizard Academy."

"But there is a situation here, that is, there are some alchemists who abuse magic to convert gold consumption, which causes economic market inflation. These converted gold will eventually return to its original metal after a certain period of time (depending on its magic power). As an economic crime, this kind of fraud has seriously slandered the good reputation of the Royal Academy for many years. The people have often protested against such incidents at the Academy.” Veronica said of this, her sweet face was full of black lines: "So the Imperial Family Wizard Academy specializes in sect rules. Alchemists who dare to do this will be punished."

"What punishment?" Ryan then asked. Ryan thought that wizards would not be protected from the world. What punishment can be imposed on legal management?

"Wizards of course will not be put into exile or imprisonment and so on, but they will still be publicly punished, that is, at Caishikou, they will be whipped to all the people by the marshals of the Wizard Academy. Look, for the caster, this is already a very heavy punishment." Veronica shrugged: "At least I can't accept it. If I were to be done this, I might hide in your bedroom for several years. I can't come out."

"The great alchemist still does this?" Ryan felt quite confused. Gelt was knowingly committing this.

"The great alchemist himself is the biggest unscrupulous alchemist! He likes to use this technique to cheat and drink, buy information, and bribe guards, but first of all, the gold he has transformed is stable and changing It’s been a long time and it’s hard for the victims to find out on the spot. Then, even if he knows that he did it afterwards, do they dare to trouble him? Don’t forget, he is the dean of the Alchemy Academy in the Imperial Family Wizard Academy! Legendary senior! The great wizard, a humanoid mobile magic turret, who wants to offend him or even die for this kind of thing?"

"pu~ can be said to be very unscrupulous." Ryan couldn't help but smile.

"Ryan, please go to the bounty bulletin board in Marienburg. You can definitely find a bounty bulletin for Gelt, but do you think anyone dares to pick it up?" Veronica gently pulled Holding Ryan's arm, he whispered: "Sometimes I think this is really amazing, it's act wilfully."

"But I won't allow you to do this." Ryan tilted the Garland Witch At a glance, Veronica is gently nodded. This is her promise to the man in front of her that she will not cross the bottom line in her actions.

"So..." Emilia spoke suddenly, and the girl's voice was a little weak and regretful: "When signing the contract, I persuaded the deputy head not to sign the contract so hastily, but The deputy head thinks that this will make the great wizard unhappy. If the great wizard is unhappy, he may find someone else." After that, the girl seemed to have made up her mind. She moved towards Ryan softly and said, "Mr. Ryan, Please save the blood axe mercenary group, okay? I know you can save us, please."

Ryan frowned. Instinctively, he didn’t want to agree. He was in this matter. Shang has been persecuted once by the wandering Knight named Ike, and what can he get for helping this mercenary group?

There are many mercenary groups at the level of blood axe in Marienburg as crossing river carp. With Ryan’s current status and reputation, it is too easy for him to want a mercenary group to help him. Axe couldn't show his value, he wouldn't help.

Ryan has never been a good person, and the blood axe mercenary group is not no effort at all.

"The results of the arbitration have come out." Veronica motioned to the matter to talk about it later.

Sure enough, the priest of the Ocean Church ruled that the blood axe lost the lawsuit. The deputy commander Wilt was ashamed. He hesitated and said to the priest: "I don't have enough money to pay the ship fare."

"hmph! Are you embarrassed to take a boat if you don't have money?!" Seeing that he had won, the captain's attitude became arrogant: "I don't care, please pay the boat fee immediately, so many of you, join together There must be money. If you really don’t have money, you draw lots to see who you sell to the slave market?"

"You! You bastard!" Wilt yelled out loudly: "A bastard with no conscience, The dregs stuffed with money!"

"Quiet! Quiet!" The Poseidon priest struck the wooden hammer vigorously to signal everyone to be quiet, and the Divine Knights standing in the arbitration tribunal also cut their swords out. Sheath, the powerful military force deterrence calmed everyone present.

"The shipping fee is 25 gold dinars and 16 Silver Coins. I don’t want Silver Coins either. You can also pay with gold marks or gold crowns... Can you say this is okay? Priest?" The captain first announced the ferry fare loudly, and then "generously" said that he had spared the mercenaries, and then humbledly sought the consent of the Seagod Priest.

Obviously this is not the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, the captain is already a veteran.

But the blood axe mercenary group couldn't make up the money. A dozen mercenaries took out their last copper plate, and they took out less than ten gold dinars.

When Emilia saw this, she took out all her savings since she became a mercenary, and four gold dinars were handed over to Wilt's hands.

still not enough, there are still ten gold dinars, otherwise the mercenaries will have to take on very dangerous tasks under the intermediary of the church, or someone will be sold as slaves.

So Emilia made the last effort. In order to protect the mercenary group that saved her life, she walked to Ryan's side and lightly said, "Please do me this favor? Afterwards I can definitely repay your kindness."

Then Emilia lightly said a Gothic word in Ryan's ear.

Ryan's eyes widened.

Amelia, know Gothic? !
