Warhammer Throne

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

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

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

The stalker's strength is extraordinary. Ryan and Veronica tried to go around a few times ‘sexually’, and the stalker kept biting them. The kind of rumorless gaze followed the two people the whole street without stopping.

So Ryan and Veronica took it all together, and the two of them went shopping all over the street as if they were actually dating, trying on clothes. They went to the tailor shop in most of the block, and each bought a lot of clothes.

"Have you left yet? It's really difficult." Veronica bit her ‘lip’: "Then what do you see?"

"Do you still remember my experience in Nord? There was a mercenary group that acted with me at that time..." Ryan briefly said the matter to Veronica, and then said: "You continue to try on clothes. I'm going out to see?"

"My dear, our main goal is to complete the task, and it is not really to buy clothes. You first go out and see what's going on, I'm Malay." Veronica shook her head, she motioned to Ryan to go out and have a look first. .

So Ryan walked out of the tailor's shop, and he found that the remaining dozen or so members of the blood axe mercenary group were gathering on the corner of the street next to them. Several people dressed as sailors were holding on to them, not letting them go. The person at first glance is the captain.

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

"Mr. Captain, we have no intention to deceive you. We are also deceived. Our blood axe pays attention to integrity. We have no intention of using lead to deceive you! The commission we received has also become a lead."

There was a quarrel outside. The captain and sailors faintly surrounded the people of the blood axe mercenary group. Emilia was only wearing thin fur clothes and tight leather pants, shivering in the cold wind. The boy's face was pale with cold, but he tried to explain: "Mr. Captain was also present when the great alchemist'handed' the commission."

"Impossible!" The captain Emilia standing in front of Emilia is much taller. Emilia is only about 1.63 meters tall. Standing in front of the captain who is 1.9 meters tall, she looks a little petite. Especially the captain's fierce look makes the figure of the'girl' child appear thin.

The faces of the remaining people of the Blood Axe Mercenary Group were quite sad, and the face of the deputy commander Wilt was even more ashamed and angry. Only then did Ryan notice that he was holding some lead blocks in his hand.

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

"Ah!" Emilia backed away in shock, and the weak'female' mercenary was grabbed by the shoulder.

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

"Mr. Lane?!" Seeing Lane appearing, Emilia subconsciously slapped off the captain's hand and hid beside him.

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

"Puff~Who are the victims?" Veronica appeared next to Ryan as the voice of high heels went from far to near.

"We are all victims!" Who knows that the mercenaries and sailors are all talking.

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

It turned out that the second day after Ryan left, the Emperor Karl-Franz came to Mjorden Sea. After a short rest, the Emperor led his army to the front line to meet the barbarian army and won the victory.

On the way back to the Imperial Army, the great alchemist Baiershaze-Gelter returned to the Mijolden Sea again. He proposed that he needed a group of mercenaries to help him do something, specifically what mercenaries did not do. Many to say, in short, the deputy commander Wilt, who was worried about how to recover his vitality in the future, was overjoyed. He felt that this was a tie-in with the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy, so he took the task decisively.

So the few remaining members of the Blood Axe Mercenary Corps followed Gelt to board the ship from Millaudon, and took the ship to Marienburg.

A few days’ voyage did not cause any problems, but while on the ship, the great alchemist did a strange thing. He took out a large sum of gold and “handed it” to Wilt in front of the captain. The money included The commission of the blood axe and the boat fee.

After the ship docked, Gelt left directly. 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 boat fare.

The problem lies here. When the gold was bought, the blood axe mercenary group had repeatedly verified that it was pure gold. Therefore, when they signed the contract with the great alchemist, they had confirmed that the payment was correct, but now all the gold has become lead, they There is really no'door' to tell.

The problem now is that they can’t'pay' the ship fare, and Gelt’s charter is the best flight. The ship fee of the entire mercenary group plus his own ship fare amounts to more than 20 gold coins. Where can the Corps afford the money? They did get some money after completing Teresa's mission, but it was far from enough to ‘pay’ the boat fare.

After hearing this remark, Ryan thought that the problem was in Gelt's body, and the blood axe also asked for no'door', because the contract they signed proved that Gelt had paid, so what would the great alchemist use? Payment is not so important anymore. Whether he completes the'transaction' with thatch or gold, the'transaction' has been completed. This point was reported to the emperor, and the emperor could not help them.

Seeing Ryan appeared, and he seemed to know these mercenaries, the captain felt a little uncomfortable, but he still bit the bullet and said: "The famous human hero, Mr. Ryan, who fought back thousands of barbarians with his own force, will also Do you 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, don't use force, understand?" Ryan guarded Emilia behind him, and said lightly.

"When... Of course, I was just a little excited. I apologized to this mercenary 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 human hero, he Quickly apologize to Emilia: "I'm sorry, Miss Mercenary."

Emilia calmly accepted the captain's apology. The ‘female’ mercenary bit her mouth and ‘lip’ gently, and she was worried about the fate of the blood axe.

The Poseidon knight appeared soon. The Poseidon knight in full plate armor was stunned when he saw Ryan appear. Ryan Ma 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 join the Ocean Church to accept arbitration. Ryan said to Veronica, "Are you interested in going in and listening? Anyway, we will go to Aestheticism in the afternoon."

"If you must, all right." Veronica just glanced at Emilia who was standing behind Ryan, her eyes flashed with a clear look, she reached out to the "female" mercenary The little face'touched' it: "What a beautiful'girl' boy! What's her name?"

Emilia's eyes flashed with fear. She knew that her disguise had been seen through by the witch in front of her, and quickly hid behind Ryan: "My name is Emilia, the beautiful lord of the witch."

"Don't bully the little girl. It's not easy for her to be a'female' mercenary alone." Seeing that Veronica is very interested in her, Ryan said helplessly.

"Emilia... isn't 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 skin and put it on the shoulder of the ‘female’ 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 continue to wait.

The three people entered the arbitration tribunal. The Poseidon knights looked very friendly when seeing Ryan coming in to observe, and the priest gave him snacks from the'door'. So they sat in the arbitration tribunal and listened to the situation. Wilt and the captain were in the court. Each holds the same word, but it is obvious that the Blood Axe Mercenary Group is at a disadvantage, because it is real that they are in arrears with the ship fare.

The three sit 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 sits on Ryan’s left and Veronica sits on Ryan’s right and listens for a while. Jialan'Witch' shook her head: "Blood Axe is impossible to win, the evidence is too bad for them, but they are not to blame, after all, the other party is an unscrupulous great alchemist."

"Unscrupulous great alchemist?" Ryan came kindly: "How do you say?"

"Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy, there is an alchemy school that specializes in'doors'." Veronica paused, her tone a little disgusted: "The wizards of the alchemy school not only learn magic, they also learn chemistry and physics, the most The famous alchemist Baiershaze-Geert, this alchemist is not only extremely knowledgeable in magic, but also has a lot of contributions to the "pill" and engineering, his existence greatly eases the empire The natural hostility between the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy."

"But there is a situation here, that is, some alchemists abuse magic to convert gold consumption, and the economic market inflation. These converted gold eventually return to its original metal after a certain period of time. This kind of fraud is a kind of economic The crime seriously slandered the good reputation of the Imperial Royal Academy for many years, and the people often protested against such incidents." Veronica said about this, her sweet face was full of black lines: "So the Royal Wizarding Academy specializes in'doors'. It is stipulated that alchemists who dare to do this will be punished."

"What punishment?" Ryan asked. Ryan wondered if wizards were not governed by secular laws. What punishment could they be given?

"Wizards of course will not be in exile or imprisonment, but they will still be publicly punished. They were whipped by the law enforcement officer of the Wizarding Academy at Caishikou for all people to see. 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."

"The great alchemist still does this?" Ryan felt quite confused, and Galt knew it.

"The great alchemist himself is the greatest unscrupulous alchemist! He likes to use this technique to cheat, cheat, buy intelligence, and bribe guards. But first of all, the gold he has transformed is stable and has a long time to change. It is difficult for the victims. It was discovered on the spot, and then, after knowing that it was him, did the victim dare to trouble him? Don’t forget, he is the dean of the Alchemy School of the Imperial Royal Wizarding Academy! A high-ranking great wizard, a humanoid mobile magic fort, Who wants to offend him or even die for this kind of thing?"

"Puff~ It can be said to be very unscrupulous." Ryan couldn't help laughing.

"Lane, go to the bounty bulletin board in Marienburg. You can definitely find a notice about Gelt, but do you think anyone dares to take it?" Veronica gently took Ryan's arm and whispered. : "Sometimes I think this is really awesome, it's just doing whatever you want."

"But I won't allow you to do this." Ryan squinted at Garland's witch, Veronica nodded slightly. 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. The'girl' child's voice was a bit weak and regretful: "When signing the contract, I persuaded the deputy head not to sign the contract so hastily, but the deputy head thinks so. It will make the great wizard unhappy, and the great wizard may find someone else to be unhappy."

After finishing speaking, the ‘girl’ child seemed to have made up his mind. She whispered to Ryan, “Mr. Ryan, please save the blood axe mercenary group? I know you are capable of saving us, please.”

Ryan frowned. Instinctively, he didn't want to agree. He had already been forced by the wandering knight named Ike once in this matter, and what could he get by helping this mercenary group?

There are more mercenary groups like the blood axe in Marienburg than the crucian carp that crosses the river. With Ryan’s current status and reputation, it is too easy for him to want a mercenary group to help him. If the blood axe can’t show his own Value, he will not help.

Ryan has never been a good person, and the blood axe mercenary group is not a trivial matter.

"The results of the arbitration have come out." Veronica motioned to the matter to speak later.

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

"Huh! You don't have money to take the boat?!" Seeing that he had won, the captain's attitude became arrogant: "I don't care, please'pay' the boat fare immediately. You so many, join together for affirmation. If you have money, if you really don’t have money, you will'draw' lots to see who you sell to the slave market?"

"You! You bastard!" Wilt yelled out loud with anger: "A **** with no conscience, a dregs filled with money!"

"Quiet! Quiet!" The Poseidon priest struck the wooden hammer vigorously to signal everyone to be quiet. The Poseidon knights standing in the arbitration tribunal also scabbed out their scabbards, and the powerful deterrence made everyone present calm down.

"The ship fare is 25 gold dinars and 16 silver coins. I don't need the silver coins. You can pay with gold marks or gold crowns... Do you think this is okay? Your priest?" The captain said loudly. After paying the boat fare, he "generously" stated that he had spared the mercenaries a small amount, 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 also took out less than ten gold dinars.

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

It was still not enough, there was still ten gold dinars, otherwise the mercenaries would have to take on very dangerous tasks under the guidance of the church, or someone would be sold into slavery.

So Emilia made the last effort. In order to protect the mercenary group that saved her life, she walked to Ryan's side and said softly: "Please do me this favor? I will definitely be able to repay you afterwards. Kindness."

Then Emilia whispered a high Gothic word in Ryan's ear.

Ryan's eyes widened.

Emilia, know Gothic? !
