Looking Forward to Another World

In the Mapros Territory, due to the shortage of food and poor economic management in all aspects, rampant thieves will rob passing merchants and nobles of their property. However, when merchants and nobles have the ability to deal with thieves, they sometimes In fact, you can also make a small fortune from them.

For example, the equipment of thieves may not be considered sophisticated, but if you polish it a little and sell it, you can still get it for a few gold coins.

And those horses can also be sold for a lot of money, and even the thieves themselves are a fortune.

After all, there is a system of slavery in this world, and people like thieves are usually armed and violent men in their prime, which means they have fighting ability. If they are brought to the slave market and sold, they will definitely be worth a lot of money.

The slaves in the kingdom basically come from this way. Sometimes they are captured thieves, sometimes they are captured enemy soldiers, and sometimes they are arrested from the territories of various nobles for crimes and other reasons, and are eventually used as labor force. Or those who sold their fighting power, these people have become the main source of slave goods in various parts of the country. There are even some slave hunting teams that specialize in illegally capturing people for sale, and they are secretly traders, providing goods for slave merchants.

The latter's illegal human trafficking behavior is naturally considered a crime in the Kingdom of Jinas, but the former is an exception and is not within the limits of laws and regulations.

Therefore, once illegal elements such as thieves are able to be dealt with, merchants and nobles usually choose to capture them alive and sell them as slaves to the slave market to make extra money.

Unfortunately, Li Ge did not survive, and all the thieves who could become commodities died, which made Geer, who hated these thieves so much, feel a little pity.

However, Geer did not let the thieves go.

"Let me help Mr. Li Ge steal the equipment and belongings of those thieves."

Geer volunteered to mention this matter and ran so fast that Li Gedu, who was about to say no, was stunned and didn't have time to say it.

Seeing that Geer had begun to pick up the thieves' equipment and belongings, Li Ge thought for a while and finally did not stop him.

no way.

"This world is no better than the worlds we traveled through before. Throwing gold is useless."

When traveling through dimensions, except for the wrong world at the beginning, Li Ge no longer worried about money.

Because the magic system of Akasha Continent has developed quite maturely, and the alchemy technology has also reached a very high level, magicians of the construction department can already use magic to create a variety of precious metals. .

Li Ge can use this to make gold, so from the beginning of the Demon Slayer World, he no longer needs to worry about money. In the future, if the dimension travels to a world where gold can be valuable, he will no longer have to worry about this matter.

However, in Akasha, a world that has developed the technology to refine gold, the value of gold is no different than the stone on the roadside.

In other words, in the Akasha continent, Li Ge is no longer the rich man who can throw away gold leaves and gold nuggets casually. He can even be said to be penniless.

The currency of this world is made of magic metals such as magic copper, magic silver, and magic gold. It also has special magic rune watermarks on it, which can neither be counterfeited nor replaced. Li Ge directly sat on the wax at Franzel's house.

The funds for this trip were also provided by Yuli's personal sponsorship. Li Ge only discovered this after the fact because Yuli gave the money to Liz instead of to him, leaving him no chance to refuse. .

Thanks to this, everything on this journey, whether it was a carriage or traveling expenses, was actually the friendly sponsorship provided by the Franzel family. Rige himself embarked on the journey penniless, so how much did it cost him? Somewhat embarrassed.

Although Yuli provided a lot of funds, even if he spent a lot of time, Li Ge naturally didn't want to sit back and wait for nothing, let alone rely on Yuli's sponsorship after spending all the money.

Thinking of this, Li Ge did not stop Geer's actions and allowed him to collect the thieves' equipment and belongings and load them into the carriage one by one.

"I-let me help."

Liz saw him and hurried over to help.

"No, no need! I can do it alone!"

Gale was so nervous that he stuttered when speaking. His head shook rapidly like a rattle, and he tried his best to resist Liz's help.

In his opinion, a girl as beautiful as Liz should not do such menial work at all.

Therefore, Geer completed all the transportation by himself, gathered the horses ridden by the thieves, pulled up a long rein, tied it behind Lige's carriage, and let the carriage pull the horses forward.

After doing this, Geer ran to the carriage he was driving and invited the eldest lady in the carriage to get out.

Li Ge was not surprised.

His transparent world had long noticed that there was another person in the carriage driven by Geer.

However, when Li Ge saw clearly the eldest lady who was invited out of the carriage by Geer, he was still a little surprised.

Probably because that person was actually a young girl.

She seems to be only about 12 years old. She is younger than Liz and Mitsita. She is not tall either. She is only a little taller than Isu's little bean. Her appearance is even more immature. At first glance, you can tell that she is a little girl who has not seen much of the world.

The little girl is quite pretty, with a feeling of being carved from pink and jade. Although she is not as transcendentally beautiful as Liz, she is still well within the standard among women, and it is not difficult to see. What will this beautiful embryo look like in the future?

But no matter how cute she looked, the other person was just a 12-year-old girl. She had been hiding behind Geer since she got off the carriage, looking frightened, and she was obviously very frightened.

"Miss, please say hello to your Excellency."

Geer spoke to the little girl in an unusually soft voice. His overly gentle look made Li Ge look at this somewhat agitated young man strangely.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some people, Geer's attitude towards this little girl can be regarded as that of a brother towards his sister, but in Li Ge's eyes, there was something wrong with the way Geer looked at the little girl. It didn't seem like he was looking at a person. A sister who needs to be taken care of is more like looking at a lover who...hasn't grown up yet?

...Lolicon?

"No way?"

Li Ge murmured, saying this, but in his heart he had the idea of ​​​​getting to know this person named Geer again.

Geer, who didn't know what Li Ge was thinking, was still talking to the little girl warmly. After a while, the little girl walked out timidly.

"My, my name is Fanny Elisir, please give me your advice."

The little girl Fanny used some clumsy movements to salute Rige and Liz, and then hid behind Geer, just like the daughter he raised who was afraid of strangers.

"Aliciel?" Li Ge suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said to Geer: "Is it the Viscount family you just mentioned?"

"Yes." Geer nodded and said: "Viscount Elisir is the lord of the neighboring Lord Elisir, and the eldest lady is the eldest daughter of Viscount Elisir, the eldest lady of the Elisir family. .”

"Eldest daughter?" Li Ge was stunned, then looked at Fanny who was timidly hiding behind Geer, and said, "Is such a young child the eldest daughter of the Viscount family?"

These words made Fanny, who had been timidly hiding behind Geer, bulge her cheeks.

"I-I'm not young..."

Fanny muttered, obviously not liking being treated like a child.

Geer also said something very seriously for some reason.

"The eldest lady is not young. She will turn 13 soon and will be able to get married in two years."

Geer said this very seriously, but this performance made people feel like they didn't know what he was expecting.

At least, that's what Li Ge thought, and Liz seemed to think so too, so she subconsciously took a step back, as if she wanted to stay away from this person.

"Okay." Li Ge once again had the urge to get to know him again, and as if he wanted to change the subject, he said: "Are there only two of you? Why don't you even bring a guard or knight with you? ah?"

This was the first question that Ri Ge had.

Logically speaking, since Fanny is the eldest daughter of a viscount family, she should bring a few guards or knights with her when she goes out to protect her, instead of just running out with a retainer.

It would be understandable if this retainer was a capable swordsman and had received the medal of swordsman.

A regular swordsman, if his opponent is an ordinary soldier, can defeat one against a thousand. Such a powerful person, even if he is alone, is more than enough to protect the eldest daughter of a small noble family. .

However, Viscount Elisir's family obviously does not have any masters at the swordsman level to join. In this case, it is necessary to equip the eldest daughter of the family with several stronger guards or knights to protect her nearby, let alone the other party. We are coming to a chaotic area like the Mapros Territory. Without enough combat power to protect us, what is the difference between seeking death?

In this way, Fanny dared to intrude into such a chaotic territory with only one retainer who was not as powerful as her entourage. This behavior was not right in any way.

Li Ge's doubts are undoubtedly well-founded.

This made Fanny's eyes begin to accumulate tears, and Geer also showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"I-we have a reason for doing this..."

Geer said hesitantly.

"Really?" Li Ge narrowed his eyes and smiled: "In that case, do you mind if I am a loyal listener?"

Geer wanted to say no.

But looking at Li Ge's appearance, he probably had doubts about the two of them.

So Geer could only nod helplessly.

"Please allow us to accompany you for the time being."

Hearing this, Li Ge nodded generously.

"welcome."

In this way, Li Ge's carriage welcomed two guests.
