Proof of the Sun King

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

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

The two people's plan today was to investigate the movements of the Weimeihui, but as soon as they appeared in the dongcoin block, they found that they were being followed.

The stalker is very powerful. Ryan and Veronica tried to 'sexually' go around a few times, but the stalker kept biting them, and the indifferent gaze followed the two people for an entire street without stopping.

So Ryan and Veronica summed it up, and the two of them walked around the streets as if they were really dating, trying on clothes. The two of them visited the tailor shop more than half a block, and bought a lot of clothes each.

"Not leaving yet? It's really difficult." Veronica bit her 'lip': "Then what did you see?"

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

"Dear, our main goal is to complete the task, not really to buy clothes, you go out and see what's going on, I'll come." Veronica shook her head, she motioned Ryan to go out and take a look, and she came .

So Ryan walked out of the tailor shop, and he found that the only remaining dozen people from the Blood Axe Mercenary Group were gathered at the corner next to the street, and a few people dressed as sailors were holding on to them, not letting them go. The man looked at the captain.

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

"Mr. Captain, we have no intention to deceive you, and we are also deceived. Our blood axe is the most honest, and we have no intention to use lead to deceive you! The commission we received also turned into lead."

There was a quarrel outside, and the captain and sailors vaguely surrounded the blood axe mercenary group. Emilia was only wearing thin fur 'fur' clothes and tight leather 'pants', shivering in the cold wind, 'woman'. ' The child's face turned pale from the cold, but he still tried his best to explain: "Mr. Captain was also present when the Great Alchemist 'delivered' the commission."

"Impossible!" The captain Emilia standing in front of Emilia was much taller. Emilia was only about 1.63 meters tall. Standing in front of the 1.9 meter tall captain, she looked a little petite. Especially the fierce look of the captain made the figure of the 'girl' look thin.

The remaining faces of the blood axe mercenary group were quite sad, and the face of the deputy head of the mercenary group was full of shame and anger. Ryan noticed that he was holding some lead in his hand.

"It must be you! You covet gold, secretly exchange gold for lead during the journey, and then pretend to be victims to deceive us!" The captain's face was full of anger, and he stretched out his hand directly to Emilia : "Let me see, is the gold hidden in your little bitch?"

"Ah!" Emilia was so frightened that she stepped back, and the weak 'female' mercenary was grabbed by the shoulders.

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

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

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

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

"We are all victims!" Who knows what the mercenaries and sailors say in unison.

Ryan learned about the whole thing off and on from Emilia and the captain.

It turned out that the day after Ryan left, Emperor Karl Franz came to the Mijorden Sea. After a short rest, the emperor led his army to the front line to face the barbarian army and won a great victory.

On the way back from the imperial army, the great alchemist Belchazer-Gert returned to the Miyoden Sea again. He proposed that a group of mercenaries should help him to do one thing. A lot to say, in short, the deputy head of the team, Wilt, who was worrying about how to recover his vitality in the future, was overjoyed. He felt that this was a connection with the Imperial Academy of Wizards, so he decisively took over the task.

So the few remaining members of the Blood Axe Mercenary Regiment followed Geert to board the ship from Mjorden Sea and sailed to Marienburg.

A few days of sailing without any problems, but while on the ship, the great alchemist did a strange thing, he took out a large amount of gold and 'handed it' to Wirth in front of the captain, the money included Blood Axe's commission and boat fare.

After the ship docked, Geert left directly. When the blood axes opened the bag, they discovered that all the gold in the original bag had turned into lead!

This time the captain quit, he insisted that the blood axe mercenary group secretly exchanged the gold, and asked them to 'pay' the shipping fee.

The problem lies here. When the gold was purchased, the Blood Axe Mercenary Group had repeatedly confirmed that it was pure gold. Therefore, when they signed the contract with the Great Alchemist, they had already confirmed that the payment was correct, but now the gold has all turned into lead. It is really asking for no 'door'.

The problem now is that they can't 'pay' the shipping fee, and Geert has booked the best flight. The shipping fee for the entire mercenary group plus his own shipping fee is as many as twenty gold coins. Where can the Corps afford the money? After completing Teresa's task, they did get some money, but it was far from enough to 'pay' the boat fee.

After listening to this rhetoric, Ryan thought that the problem was Geert's body, and the blood axe also begged for no 'door', because the contract they signed proved that Geert had paid, so what did the great alchemist use? The payment is not so important, the 'deal' has been done whether he has done it with thatch or gold. Even if the blood axe was reported to the emperor, the emperor could not help them.

Seeing Ryan appearing, and he seemed to know these mercenaries, the captain felt a little bad, but he still said bravely: "The famous human hero, Mr. Ryan, who fought back thousands of barbarians with one person's strength, will also Protect these debtors?"

"No, the dispute over the shipping fee 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 said lightly, keeping Emilia behind him.

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

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

The Seagod Knight appeared soon, and the Seagod Knight in full plate armor was stunned when he saw Ryan appearing. Ryanma said that he was just here to watch the fun, 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 the arbitration. Seeing this, Ryan said to Veronica, "Are you interested in going in and listening? Anyway, we will go to the Beauty Club in the afternoon."

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

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

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

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

Seeing Emilia shivering from the cold, Ryan took out a blanket made of white wolf skin and draped it over the shoulders of the 'female' mercenary, motioning her to follow him in to listen to the situation.

As if he was really involved in this matter.

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 entered the arbitration tribunal. The Seagod knights were very friendly when they saw Ryan come in to sit in, and the priest specially delivered snacks for him, so they sat in the arbitration tribunal and listened to the situation in the arena. Werther and the captain were in the court. They hold their own words, but it is obvious that the Blood Axe mercenary group is at a disadvantage, because their arrears of shipping fees are real.

The three sat side by side in the wooden gallery next to the tribunal, a temple priest was listening to the facts presented by both parties, Emilia sat on Ryan's left, Veronica sat on Ryan's right, and listened to the statement for a while , Jialan 'Witch' shook her head: "Blood Axe can't possibly win, the evidence is too unfavorable to them, but it's not their fault, after all, the other party is an unscrupulous great alchemist."

"Unscrupulous great alchemist?" Ryan came with kindness: "How do you say it?"

"The Imperial Academy of Wizards has a special school of alchemy." Veronica paused for a moment, her tone a little disgusting: "The wizards of the alchemy school not only study magic, they also study chemistry and physics. The famous one is the great alchemist Belchazer-Gelter. This great alchemist not only has a deep knowledge of magic, but also made a lot of contributions to fire 'powder' and engineering. His presence has greatly eased the empire. The natural hostility between the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Imperial College of Wizards and Wizards."

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

"What punishment?" Ryan then asked, thinking that wizards are not governed by secular laws, what punishment can they give?

"Of course the wizards will not be exiled or imprisoned, but they will still be publicly punished, that is, they were whipped by the magistrates of the Wizard Academy in Caishikou for all the people to see. For spellcasters, This is already a very heavy punishment." Veronica shrugged: "At least I can't accept it, if I am done this, I may hide in your bedroom and not come out for a few years."

"Then the great alchemist is still doing this?" Ryan felt quite incomprehensible, and Geert was knowingly committed.

"The great alchemist himself is the biggest unscrupulous alchemist! He likes to use this technique to deceive food and drink, buy intelligence, and bribe guards, but first of all, the gold he conjures is stable and changes for a long time, and it is difficult for the victims to It was discovered on the spot, and then, after the calculation, I found out that it was him who did it. Did the victim dare to trouble him? Don’t forget, he is the dean of the Alchemy Academy of the Imperial Academy of Wizards! A high-level wizard, a humanoid mobile magic fort, Who would want to offend him or even die for such a thing?"

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

"Lane, go to the bounty bulletin board in Marienburg, and you will definitely find a bulletin for Galt, but do you think anyone dares to accept it?" Veronica gently took Ryan's arm and whispered. : "Sometimes I think it's really amazing, it's just doing whatever you want."

"But I won't allow you to do that." Ryan squinted at the "Witch" Garland, and Veronica nodded lightly. This was her promise to the man in front of her, and she would not cross the bottom line in her actions.

"So..." Emilia spoke suddenly, the girl's voice was 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 It will make the great wizard unhappy, and the great wizard may find someone else if he is not happy."

After finishing speaking, the girl seemed to have made up her mind. She said softly to Ryan, "Mr. Ryan, please save the Blood Axe Mercenary Group? I know you have the ability to save us, please."

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

There are many mercenary groups of this level in Marienburg. With Ryan's current status and fame, it is too easy for him to want a mercenary group to help him. If Blood Axe can't show his own Value, he will not help.

Ryan has never been a good person, and the matter of the Blood Axe mercenary group is not easy.

"The arbitration result is out." Veronica signaled that this matter will be discussed later.

Sure enough, the priest of the Ocean Church ruled that the blood axe lost the case, and the deputy head of the team, Wilt, turned ashes, he hesitantly said to the priest: "I don't have enough money to 'pay' the shipping fee now."

"Humph! You have no money to take a boat?!" Seeing that he had won, the captain's attitude became arrogant again: "I don't care~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Please 'pay' the boat fee immediately, there are so many of you If you don't have any money, you can 'draw' lots by yourself to see who will be sold to the slave market?"

"You! You're a bastard!" Wilt yelled angrily: "A **** without a conscience, a scum filled with money!"

"Quiet! Quiet!" The Seagod priest tapped the wooden hammer vigorously, signaling everyone to be quiet. The Seagod Knights standing in the Arbitration Tribunal also unsheathed their scimitars. The powerful force of deterrence calmed everyone present.

"The shipping fee is 25 gold dinars and 16 silver coins in total. I don't want any silver coins. You can pay with gold marks or gold crowns... Do you think this is okay? Your Excellency?" The captain first reported loudly. After paying the shipping fee, he said "generously" that he had given the mercenaries a fraction, and then humbly asked the Seagod Priest's approval.

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

However, the Blood Axe mercenary group couldn't make up the money, and more than a dozen mercenaries took out their last copper plate, and also took out less than ten gold dinars.

Seeing this, Emilia took out all her savings since becoming a mercenary, and the four gold dinars were 'handed' to Wilt's hands.

It's not enough, there are ten gold dinars left, otherwise the mercenaries will have to take on very dangerous missions with the help of the church, or some people will be sold as slaves.

So Emilia made her 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 a favor? I will definitely be able to repay you afterwards. kindness."

Then Emilia whispered a High Gothic in Ryan's ear.

Lane's eyes widened.

Emilia, can you speak High Gothic? !
