The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

The road in the afternoon is very easy to walk. Compared with the climbing section in the morning, in the afternoon, the road is basically downhill. After resting for two hours and eating some roughage, the draught horses walked fast, half as fast as in the morning.

Before departure, Charles followed Wayne's instructions to find a magician in the **** who was good at wind magic.

"What kind of magic do you want to engrave on it?" the magician named Keith asked with the polished magic core.

"Engrave a defensive magic." Charles said, "The necklace is a women's style, and it should sell well with defensive magic."

"Then I will engrave a charged magic circle that gathers magic power and a magic circle with a wind shield for you." Keith looked at the magic core, "The quality of this magic core is good, and it can be sold for at least 5 pieces when it is made into jewelry. Aure. I don't charge you more, just give me 10 dinars for the labor."

The dinar is a silver coin. Charles roughly calculated that its purchasing power in the Northland is equivalent to more than 100 soft sister coins in the previous life. Ole is a gold coin, equivalent to 20 dinars, two thousand soft sister coins. In addition to gold and silver coins, there are also smaller denominations of copper coins on the market. They are the Sestyrs, known as the Great Copper, the Dupont, commonly known as the Copper, and the Calderas, the Small Copper. The exchange rate is generally 1 dinar = 10 Cestels = 100 Dupont = 1000 cadras, and there will be slight changes in different periods and places.

This currency system was established by the efforts of several generations of people who understand finance among the brave warriors, and it was promoted with the strong support of the temple. Up to now, this set of currencies is widely used in northern countries, a bit like the euro. The currency system in the south is similar, but I heard that the currency system held by the elves makes many human kingdoms often speak badly behind their backs.

Charles doesn't know much about finance, and the little bit of financial knowledge in his mind is what he sees on the Internet, so he can't tell whether this system is good or bad.

As a magician, Keith's salary in the caravan is not low. The salary of the **** is the highest among the caravans, about 10 ores a month. And the monsters they hunted while protecting the caravan belonged to them. His one night's private work received 10 denars from Charles, which was a good deal.

Craftsmen like Wayne, chef Tonio, pharmacist Halcala, and veterinarian Phil are technical talents with monthly salaries of more than 5 ore.

The monthly salary of those coachmen is only about 50 dinars.

If the above-mentioned people work for one full year, there will be a little bonus at the end of the year.

As for the child labor Charles, only 5 dinars are paid according to the minimum wage. Dividends? You think too much.

No matter which world you are in, people with technology are in demand.

This time, Charles went to catch a slime, but unexpectedly got a magic core and two wolves. After the magic core is made into jewelry, the total cost is about 2 Aure, and if you meet a good buyer and fool well, you can sell it for 8 Aure. Two young wolves can be sold for two or three ores according to the normal market.

And now the caravan's wagon is full of similar magic items. There are many monsters in the northern wasteland, and the herdsmen who go out to graze will not be stingy on life-saving equipment. From this, you can see how much money the caravan can make for one trip.

Don't think that the herdsmen grazing don't have much money, they make a lot of money just from parchment paper, not to mention the leather that can be made into leather armor, which are just in need of human society.

Now many familiar people are starting to ask Charles to treat him.

However, Charles, who knew that knowledge was money, ignored them and began to learn Elvish from Halkara.

So, for the next two days, Charles began to memorize "????" whenever he was free.

In the afternoon of the second day after entering Fenglin, Charles, who was reciting the Elvish alphabet, suddenly felt a light in front of him.

The lush maple trees are gone, and in front of you is a large farmland with corn, and several stockades are built in the center of the farmland. In the distance is a seemingly small city.

The road was billowing with smoke and dust, and not long after, Elizabeth, who was in the vanguard, joined the caravan. The caravan was not attacked by large monsters along the way, and it was their credit.

After Elizabeth had a few words with Aubrey, she came to the grain truck. Charles was sitting on the roof of the car, carrying the Elvish words that Halcala wrote to him.

"Sister." Charles beckoned to Elizabeth.

At Elizabeth's insistence, Charles wanted to call her sister. Charles' grandfather and father used to call her that too.

"How did you feel when you went out for the first time?" asked Elizabeth, who was riding on a horse.

"It's okay." Charles scratched the back of his head.

At this moment, Cromwell suddenly appeared behind Charles.

"Charles did a good job. Not only did he catch a slime, but it seemed that he could earn a lot of extra money." Cromwell said while rubbing Charles' head.

Charles was startled by the sudden appearance of Cromwell, "You are so elusive, are you a thief?"

Charles could hear from Cromwell's words that he was probably watching himself secretly these two days.

Cromwell suddenly saw a concertina that looked similar to a guitar, and said, "Didn't I tell you, I'm a bard."

After he finished speaking, he played the concertina and sang.

The fragrance of flowers in the basket

Listen to me, sing, sing, sing

came to the prairie

The prairie is a good place, a good place

Good place to come to good scenery

Good place to come to good scenery

There are crops everywhere, cattle and sheep everywhere

…

Then Charles almost fell headfirst into the car.

"Is this a song you wrote?" Charles asked Cromwell with a black line.

"No." Cromwell said while tuning the strings, "This is a folk song that has been sung on the prairie for hundreds of years. By the way, don't call this place a 'wilderness' here, it is the geographical discrimination of those in the south The inhabitants here call this land the prairie."

Charles took a deep breath and decided not to complain about it.

Along the way, Elizabeth and Charles chatted about the past two days on the road. Charles learned that the she-wolf he picked up cheap had escaped after being injured by them the day before yesterday.

"It's yours if you find it." Elizabeth said to Charles, "We're not short of that amount of money."

Not long after, the caravan came to a city.

The city wall facing south is about 1.5 kilometers wide and about 6 meters high, with a protruding semicircular horse face at intervals. But there is no castle inside.

Elizabeth told Charles about the city, "The name of the city is 'Small'. People here like to name cities and villages with grain and wildflowers, and as a result, there are many names with the same name."

"Several cities on the prairie were built on the roads leading to the south, and their main functions were trading places and resisting beast tides."

"Beast tide?" Charles noticed a word he had heard before.

"That's right," Elizabeth explained. "If the summer in the north is too dry, there will be a lot of wild herbivores in autumn and winter. Those carnivores will go south to feed."

Charles nodded.

Soon, the caravan entered the city of corn. At this time, Charles felt that his eyes were not enough, and his breathing became a little heavier.

In addition to the green-skinned orcs, there are also a large number of demi-human orcs in the northern prairie.

For example, Aunt Cat who sells fish, Aunt Fox should be standing in front of the tailor shop, and Aunt Pig should be passing by the motorcade carrying a basket...

When the motorcade stopped on the edge of the square in the center of the city, Charles almost finished counting the zodiac signs.

"The men are all going north to herd now, so most of the city is older women, and the other is kids your age," Cromwell told Charles, "because a lot of people in the south discriminate against Asia. Human race, and they are often captured as playthings, so they rarely go to the south."

"Those bugs wanted to take me as a pet before," said Halkala, "but they were all poisoned by me."

So, the pharmacist can't be provoked.

"Charles, you have to be careful recently." Elizabeth reminded at this time, "I heard that a gang of child abductions has recently emerged. They not only abduct and sell Asian children, but also human children."

"I'm so ugly, who would want me, wouldn't I lose money?" Charles laughed at himself.

Tonyo, who was sitting in front with the driver, said at this time, "Don't be careless, they can't see your face when they use you anyway."

Then a flying knife fell from the sky and stuck between Tonio's legs.

Charles was as terrified as Antonio. He witnessed Elizabeth, who was behind Tony and had a car blocking his view, threw a flying knife into the sky. When the flying knife fell, he almost castrated Antonio.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of children." Elizabeth reprimanded.

At this time, the convoy came to the front of a large hotel on the edge of the square. After the others got out of the car, the driver drove to the parking lot behind the hotel.

Charles had already noticed that there was a statue of three people standing in the center of the square.

The person in the middle of the statue is wearing short clothes that farmers often wear when they work, holding a **** in one hand and a sleeve in the other, wiping the sweat from his face. Although he couldn't see his face, the curved smile on his exposed mouth revealed that he was in a good mood at the moment.

On the left, a young woman is feeding a lamb with a handful of hay.

On the right is a female elf, with a basket in her left hand, and her right hand seems to be sowing seeds.

Charles looked at the statue of the female elf, and then looked at Elizabeth beside him. The parts above the neck were very similar.

Noticing Charles' gaze, Elizabeth pointed to the man in the middle of the statue and whispered to him, "That's your ancestor."

Then she pointed to the female elf statue on the right and introduced, "That's my mother."

In the end, she withdrew her hand and said, "The other one is a junior."

"Cough cough~" Cromwell signaled that he heard Elizabeth's words, "Miss, don't say that to her in front of me."
