Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Worry about the future
Dagon used a shovel to cover the grave of Lati's dead relatives, Toby found a piece of wood, and Maipu brought paint and pens. Lati wrote the words "The Tomb of Lati's Family" crookedly, and she also mistakenly wrote "Tomb" as "Wood".

After kowtowing hard at the tombstone, Lati stood up and looked at Dagon with those bright black eyes. She really didn't cry anymore, maybe she had listened to Dagon's words, and the little child wanted to show bravery and strength in front of her family. At this time, Geros came to Lati and asked, "Girl, do you have any other relatives? If you drop by, we can send you there."

Lati thought about it carefully. "I also have an aunt in Heshan City, but I don't know what her name is, only that she used to have the same surname as my father: Merry."

"Is Heshan City on our route? ' Dagon asked.

Gerros nodded, but frowned. "Little girl, we are a caravan, we don't transport passengers. You are too young, and the caravan can't accept you. So you can only follow the caravan, try to keep up, and then rub every day when we are resting..."

Dagon interrupted Gerros for the first time, he felt that it was basically impossible for this human child to follow the team on his heels. "Boss, I'm a passenger of the caravan!"

"Yes, you are a passenger. If the Chamber of Commerce was not forced to obey by the Dwarf Clan Council, you would have to follow with both feet!" Geros wrinkled He frowned, looking angry, but there was a clear encouragement in his eyes, encouraging Dagon to continue.

"She can't follow the caravan, so follow me, do..."

"Very well, that's it." Gerros fired back at Dagon with an interrupt, watching. He seemed quite satisfied with the result. Not only him, but everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. After all, everyone knows that if you really want to keep this child at home, whether it is a food shortage, wild beast attack, or the return of the robber, it will kill the child.

"Then... can I follow you?" Lati saw that everyone was nodded, so she came to Dagon and bowed sharply. Dagon didn't know if this was human etiquette, and he didn't know how to help her up. He just said according to his own thoughts: "Since you want to find an aunt from a distance, then quickly pack up your things. Especially clothes, and souvenirs..."

Lati nodded, hurried to the house. She slipped as she passed the pool of blood in the yard, but got up immediately, and didn't even dare to pat and rub the painful spot on her leg. Dagon looked at her slender back and thought that she might be afraid that she would be slow, and everyone would go on the road ahead of time, so she didn't want her anymore.

Jeros rubbed the temple hard, then pulled his face down, and asked very seriously: "Toby, you promised to find a place where they put money. How do you say it now? Could it be in the room where the little girl went in?"

"I've searched all over, and there are only about forty gold coins worth of various kinds of money in piled crock pots, I really don't have any other... oh, generally this doesn't count, but I also found a piece of paper money from the Halfling Spice Chamber of Commerce, with a face value of three hundred gold coins..."

"Isn't that just waste paper? "Mip shook his head and said.

"Let's do it." Geros said, "You said you could find the money, but no one forced you to accept the bet. You pay for the money you find and pay for it. The principal has been made up. Everyone has seen that the robbers robbed, and the debtor died. It is reasonable to say that this will be a loss. But the principal is not lost, and it is reasonable. What do you think? You can't give Toby to Is it sold?"

"That can't, that can't be." Rusiga said, "I can't even cook him enough for a meal, I think it's good to get the principal back, at least My 33gold coin is fine!"

Jeros looked around at everyone, and everyone was nodded. "Okay, then this matter is settled, don't look back. As for Toby, don't brag next time, you guy, remember to be practical. The halfling's paper money is yours, you go to find it. Exchange it with your own clan. If you can get the money, take it. By the way, do those robbers have any money? If there is, pay the interest to everyone first, and then enter the account according to the rules of the caravan."

Being able to get the principal back, everyone basically eliminated their resistance. At this time, no matter how much interest there is, even if it is a copper or two, it will make people feel that they have earned it in vain and forget about the loss. Everyone became happy, urging Toby to rummage through the dead man's pocket, laughing at him from time to time. And Dagon looked at Geros on the side, and felt that he suddenly enlightened: It is obviously a loss, and reversing the order can still produce a good mood, so arithmetic can still be used in this way?
It was getting dark, everyone was ready to go, Dagon went to help Lati pack up. The little girl prepared a small package containing a few clothes and a dressing box. When Dagon found her, she was looking at a string of wind chimes under the eaves in front of the door. Lati looked at the wind chimes and Dagon, a little hesitant.

"What's the matter, talk about it." Dagon said: "If you have a problem, try to solve it, you will only waste your life."

"I don't know what to call you. I I know your name is Dagon Olison, but I can't tell your age."

"I'm sixty."

"Dagon grandfather..."

"Stop! I just came of age this year, the Jiangu clan... The dwarves are sixty years old and are equivalent to you humans around fourteen or fifteen, so just call me big brother."

"Oh... ...Dagon big brother, can you help me take down the wind chimes?"

"I can't reach it either, so step on my shoulders." Dagon crouched down and pointed to his shoulders. "Come on, step on it, I'm very strong, I will definitely be able to support you. By the way, you can hold the first hunting axe in your hand, so you can stand more stably, come on!"

Pull Ti nodded, cautiously stepping on the Dagon, every time I move my foot, I ask if it hurts when I step on it, I'm very cute. She got the wind chime, held it in her hand and looked at it for a while, her eyes sad. A big tear was about to well up in her eyes, but she was trying to hold it back. After shaking the wind chime, Lati's face softened a little after listening to its crisp and moving sound. Afterwards, she forced the wind chimes into the bag, as if she had made a break with the past.

"Dagon big brother, is the thing I grabbed just now your weapon? You take it with you wherever you go?"

"Yes." Dagon thinks Lati is Trying to divert her gaze and soothe her emotions, she patiently explained the story of the headhunting axe to her. It may be that this weapon is also an object that Dagon pinned his thoughts on his parents, which is similar to Lati's current mood, and it can be seen that she listens very seriously.

"The wind chimes just now were made by our family, and I was in charge of twisting the rope. I was very good at twisting the rope, and they all praised me. At the White Horse Town market, I made The rope can be sold for money."

"Right, money." Dagon patted his head and said, "There's still your stuff in the well!"

The two were side by side. Walking towards the well, Toby came up at this time. He kept rubbing his hands together, hehehehe smiling, his toothless mouth very funny.

Dagon tugged at Lati, pulling her away from Toby and over to his other shoulder. "Toby, you're laughing like that, it doesn't feel like a good thing. If you have any problems, solve them quickly, don't hold back and waste your life."

"Okay! That's right, I want to ask little girl, your family still Yes... I mean, can I... er..." Toby suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself, crouching on the ground, feeling like he was about to cry. "I didn't do it right, I was still thinking about being here with Little Lati, who just broke down... It's alright, I didn't say anything."

Dagon scratched his head and suddenly understood. "Wait, Toby, don't you have enough money?"

"en. Logically, it should be written off here. I still have a gap of seventy gold coins. If it is not enough, then I You have to owe it, and you have to repay the caravan at double the interest on the loan."

"Then I will lend you these seventy gold coins, and fill the gap first. You are sending me to the secretariat. Just give me the money before Namiris. I don't want your interest."

"Thank you! Thank you, I don't have to worry about this. You can don't want the interest, but I have to give it. The caravan has rules. It's to prevent bullied the weak. I, Toby, live on credit and pay my debts!"

"Just remember not to look for Lati. She's following me now , I have a duty to protect her." Dagon's head-hunting axe hit the ground hard, which was a clear warning to Toby.

Paying money to solve Toby's troubles is not only helping Toby, but also preventing the Merry couple's debt from affecting Lati. There is a box in the barrel of the well, and if you listen to the sound of oh la la oh la la, it is almost certain that it is coins and other valuables. If Dagon wants the money to be in Lati's hands without a doubt, safely and securely, and to give her a little more security in her future life, she must solve her parents' debt problem.

Jeros is a person who is shameful after speaking, and the prestige he wants to maintain is definitely worth more than three hundred gold coin debt. The only variable is Toby, if he claims the issue of debt transfer ownership, he may have to fight again. Now that Dagon has also paid, it is equivalent to helping Toby bear the debt, so he has a say in the matter. Having a voice comes the opportunity to use numbers as flexibly as Gerlos did to get things going the way you want.

"Okay, okay!" Toby nodded, said: "If I can get through this difficult time, the next thing will not trouble me. I still have that halfling's paper money, and the Spice Guild will pay it back. I might be able to get the money out when I'm running a business. But I want to ask Lati, how come you have halfling spice guild paper money in your family? Do you have any business dealings?"

"We did. I made rabbit meat with some spices and supplied it to the Wild Boar Burger at the previous competition. Because it was delicious, the spice guild also bought some rabbit meat, and they wanted to buy the recipe, but my grandma didn't seem to agree."

"Oh, then I understand. Maybe this paper money can be exchanged for real money, because the spice trade will want to continue doing business with your family." Toby said with a smile: "If you go to exchange , maybe not much. If I get it, I'll give you half."

Lati thought for a while, then looked up at Dagon and tilted his head at Toby. She knew that the paper money belonged to her family, but she also understood the current situation. So this clever little girl nodded, said: "Okay. Let's it's a deal!"

Ok, now Toby is also equivalent to expressing his position, the previous debt only belongs to the past, and it will not be from now on. There's that again. The three of them came to the well, and Dagon was about to reel when a dense sound of hoofs could be heard in the distance. Using darkvision, Dagon saw a group of Knights under the moon and stars raising wet mud on the road. They were probably thirteen-fourteen individuals, moving towards the farmhouse.
