Chapter 255 Return journey

The lustful beast ran past, setting off unparalleled gray on the sand and drove Seberas, while Yiming sat leisurely in the back seat. The combat armed forces with a speed of up to 300 kilometers per hour were already familiar to the two. Originally, it was used to break through obstacles, enemies and all objects that could cause obstacles in complex and changeable urban lanes to maximize the flexibility and mobility, so even running on this primitive road is extremely stable so that there is no fluctuation. It originally took more than ten days to half a month to walk.

The fastest journey can be done in just one or two days. Although this makes people sigh at the convenience of technology, if you think about Aini's magic of instant movement, you will sigh that the technology on that side is indeed slightly higher. After all, although in Yi Ming's understanding, instant movement is already operable at the theoretical level of science, it is far from the possibility of turning into reality. Among their companions, some have the ability to transform the body into particles and transfer to other places, but that is also an abnormal product, not a normal technology, just like magic.

"dad………"

The ice fish slowed down the car and whispered to Yi Ming, who was sitting behind her.

“Is it raining?”

Yi Ming looked at the cloudy sky with helpless eyes. Even if he had the latest style of riding gear, unfortunately Seberas was just a structural armour designed based on a motorcycle. It did not have the useless design of the roof. If it was rained into a chicken in heavy rain, it would be troublesome. Moreover, the weather was unstoppable, and now it had started to raindrops.

“How far is it to the next village?”

“It’s about five minutes away.”

"Speed ​​up, I don't want to get wet, I'll be in trouble if I catch a cold."

"yes."

The ice fish said, holding the handle tightly again, and the hell rabies roared and ran down the road, heading towards the black dots in the distance.

When they arrived at the hotel in the heart of the village, the heavy rain had already poured down. The ice fish calmly parked Seberas under the eaves of the hotel. Then they followed Yiming into the hotel. Perhaps because of the heavy rain, many people in the hotel were chatting around the stove to keep warm. Most of the people sitting at the door were staring at the man and a woman walking in with a striking look. Obviously, there were things like Seberas that were completely out of their imagination. This made these rural wild men a little surprised and frightened.

The lobby on the first floor also has a tavern. Yi Ming did not care about the eyes of those people. Instead, he found a seat to sit down. Then he trotted over and threw a gold coin out.

"Give two glasses of light fruit wine. I'll have another room."

The silent hall became lively again because of Yi Ming's words. Although I didn't know the other person's true nature, it seemed that he should be drinking water and eating like himself. This made the rest of the people feel relieved. After all, he was sitting directly over with the strange thing. If it was mistaken for something strange, it was not impossible. Several enthusiasts had already walked out of the door and began to look at Seberas cautiously and curiously not far away. Although the people in the distance returned to the lively scene just now, they always kept a certain distance from the two of them intentionally or unintentionally. Yi Ming was not concerned at all. Instead, he stared at the ice fish with a smile as usual. At this moment, she was obviously a little restless. And a slightly blush appeared on her face as white as porcelain.

"What? Is it because there are too many people that make you nervous?"

“It’s a little bit.”

Icefish frowned slightly and looked at the wine glass that she had just brought in front of her. Icefish was not used to this in places with many people. Yiming knew it very early. Perhaps because she was used to being isolated in the institute, she was not used to living in the same space with too many people. Although this situation improved slightly in the subsequent trip, for the girl, a quiet and small-sized place was still her favorite. For such icefish, this hotel full of rural wild men is indeed not suitable for her.

"Dad, this is the first time."

"Um?"

While tasting fruit wine with unexpected mellow flavor and thinking about whether to have another cup, Yi Ming suddenly heard an inexplicable speech from the ice fish.

"First? What's the first time?"

"This is the first time we are traveling alone."

“…………………………………………………………”

Thinking of this, in the original world, Yi Ming had basically never been alone with the ice fish. Most of the time he gave the ice fish to Meyali to take care of. As Yi Ming himself, at that time, he not only had to lead a team to seek and save companions who were in the same dilemma as himself and others, but also had to escape the pursuit of the government army. He really had no extra time to be with the ice fish. This may be a very normal thing for Yi Ming. But from the performance of the ice fish, it seems not that simple.

"Dad always stays with mom and doesn't talk to me."

"At that time, there were so many people around me who needed to take care of."

"But, it's the same here, dad always stays with Ainie."

"Why?"

Yi Ming was slightly stunned.

To be honest, from the beginning, Icefish had an almost hostile attitude towards Aini, which has always confused Yiming. Although he had blamed her for the fact that there might be a strange child sharing Meyerly's dissatisfaction with Meyerly. But it seems not that simple to be careful. If that is the case, then Lita is often taken care of by Meyerly, but Icefish does not confront her. She seems to be targeting Aini alone, and the reason for this is obviously not just jealousy.

"No, nothing... Dad pretended not to hear it."

Perhaps because she noticed her own words, Bingyu turned her gaze out the window. When she saw a few idle guys trying to touch her car because of curiosity, she couldn't help but snorted coldly, and accompanied by this clear sound, a miserable scream. The poor man fell down like this, and then hugged his hand and began to cry and shout, and then quickly was taken away by her companions. This small episode obviously shocked those stupid guys who planned to bet on a slightly lighter price than life for unknown things, and made them quiet again after they were ready to move.

After this little episode, everything returned to peace.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it seems that it will not stop tonight.

Yi Ming looked a little unhappy with a gloomy face

With manpower, he is confident that he can solve the problem. But even if he has the strength of nature, he cannot compete with it.

If it weren't for this heavy rain, Linchen would have arrived at the border of the Yuli Empire in Linchen. However, if it was delayed now, I don't know when I could rush back. Although on-site response has always been Yiming's specialty, because of the news from Old Holkin, Yiming wanted to rush back as soon as possible to welcome the new development. He had no choice but to drink his glass of wine and waved to the apprentice in the store.

"Guest, do you have any questions?"

The apprentice who received extraordinary rewards also showed a warm smile that matched him and welcomed him.

"How long does it usually take for such rain?"

"Um………"

Listening to Yi Mingdi's question, the apprentice thought for a moment before answering.

"It will probably stop tomorrow morning. Such heavy rain is very common in this season, so………"

"So, as soon as the rain stops, you will immediately ask us to get up, whether it is in the morning or late at night, is there any problem?"

"Of course not, sir."

No one complains about staying up for an extra night in front of gold coins.

And just then, in the Azusdi Castle, Mealie also listened to Lita's report on this trip to the commercial capital.

"Brother Yiming said this, and, judging from the appearance of those merchants, I seem to be very interested in this place..."

Lita ends with her own conclusion, while Mealie is temporarily in silence.

"Mr. Meyali, the accounts of the property have been clearly calculated. This time, the diamonds brought back by Miss Lita are worth 25 million gold coins, equivalent to one-quarter of the tax revenue of the empire... These merchants are really rich..." Elinoa also took the opportunity to insert them and reported to Meyali's income this time. Unlike before, Elinoa and Marian are both relaxed now. Obviously, with the excess fiscal revenue, they finally don't have to worry about demolishing the western wall and repairing the eastern wall all day long.

"As for the distribution of these property, should I wait for Lord Yiming to come back or..."

Although Alinoa seems to be hoping to immediately invest all the huge and exaggerated money into the current urban construction, Mayalie has a different view on this.

(First take out some of them to use in the current financial stressful places, and do not act without any action on the rest. If there is any need, Miss Alinoa and Miss Marian can decide to supplement them by themselves. However, do not build new buildings or increase the current troop. Do not increase the salary for the time being, just maintain the original state.)

"Is this OK?"

Marien asked a little uneasy.

"To be honest, the difference between the labor and salary of the people we hire now is too great. Although most of them have admired you and Master Yiming, I think it is a bit unreasonable to come here to be a follower. But now we have extra money in our hands but do not compensate them. I think it is a bit unreasonable... and it will also cause dissatisfaction."

(I know this, but we cannot explain the money. If we take out so much money at once, we will be loved by outsiders. By that time, Yi Ming's efforts will be in vain.)

Mealli did not explain much, but the two soon understood what she meant. At present, several mercenaries had gradually begun to gather in Azus City. Judging from the information they received, they obviously believed that this emerging city had no possibility of taking into account the ancient ruins of the elves because of insufficient manpower. It was a time to make a good fortune. Although they might find some explored tombs, they would only think that they were companions other than themselves had taken the lead. If they were the official now, they would suddenly take such a large sum of money, it would be difficult not to let the mercenaries have any tricks. Instead of investing this money immediately, it would be better to keep the flow of things. Even if someone found something wrong in the future, it would be too late to that time.

It's very consistent with Mealee's style.

“…………………………… Since Lord Mayalie said that, we have nothing to object to.”

Marien stood up and looked around.

"Miss Lita, Lafar, and two members of the mercenary group, you should be very clear that no one is allowed to leak this matter, otherwise, even you must be punished, do you understand?"

"I, I get it...Sister Marian."

Perhaps because he felt the seriousness in Marien's words, Lita nodded in a low voice to agree. Lefal also kept silent wisely. As for Yuri and the others, there was naturally nothing to say.

"About Yuri... As a reward, you can withdraw some gold coins from it to expand the use of funds for the mercenary group. If anyone asks, it is the Holkins' aid fund for you. Is there any problem?"

"No."

Yuri shook his head, but looking at his appearance, he seemed not very interested in expanding the mercenary group. After all, he was an orc. It was impossible for humans to let go of their self-esteem and live under the orcs. So even if they really got the funds, it would be difficult for Yuri to do anything big. Everyone present knew this, so the reward Marian said was just formal comfort. In other words, if Yuri really used this money to expand the mercenary group and recruited orcs, this side would be more vigilant about him.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Yuri..."

For some reason, Lita seemed to be a little reluctant to speak. She was silent for a moment before she spoke uneasy.

"Before leaving, Brother Yiming asked me to tell you, 'stay in the castle, you are not allowed to go anywhere, and some questions need to be answered'..."

"Why?"

Yuri's face changed, and the gaze in Marien's eyes became sharp in an instant.

"Lita, what happened during the journey?"

"I don't know either, but Brother Yiming seems to have discovered something..."

Hearing this, Marien turned around and looked at the two orcs with pale faces.

"Then, two, I think you have heard it too, and I hope you don't act without permission."

"……………elder brother………"
