Chapter 1237 1224. Harvest
The logistics supply team from Mukuso City arrived at Sailia Village smoothly, and the first batch of logistics supplies was also transported to Yezipias Manor.
The carriage can only drive along the dilapidated mountain road to Seria Village, and the latter part of the road depends on the bad luck of the logistics department personnel before it can be regarded as arriving at Yezipias Manor. In fact, even without these supplies, the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment They won't go hungry either, the manor has plenty of food and supplies, and they didn't refuse to provide it to the heavy armored infantry regiment.
Gulitum set up a gazelle that was dripping oil on the bonfire, and Edgar the beard squatted beside the bonfire and asked Suldak, "What shall we do next?"
The heavy armored infantry soldiers in the camp looked very relaxed. Dinner was also white bread and broth, and everyone was celebrating this victory.
Suldak scratched his head, and he thought for a while before saying to Edgar: "The heavy armored infantry regiment still needs to be stationed here for a while, and the stronghold of the Black Magic Priory will wait for the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group to further develop it." Check, you stay here to watch the scene."
"I'm going back early to deal with official business in Ruyt City, and I'll be leaving tonight."
Edgar didn't expect Suldak to rush back to Ruyt City at night. Hearing Suldak's arrangement, he could only order.
As the head of the heavy armored infantry regiment, Edgar the Beard must stay here.
Sitting in front of the bonfire, Suldak glanced at Aphrodite who was sitting in the shadow not far away, and said to her:
"Aphrodite, you have to stay this time..."
His main purpose of keeping Aphrodite here is to make it easier for him to get here through the Void Gate at any time. After all, there are still many uncertain factors here.
In the past few days, Ruyt City has piled up a lot of official affairs waiting for him to deal with. As the city's consul, Suldak has no way to stay here.
This time when he returns to Ruyt City, he will also take away a large amount of precious materials seized.
In addition to the seized magic materials and the Tree of Desire, Suldak also found some magic books in the cave of the Black Magic Priory Research Institute.
Among these books, Suldak selected some basic magic books to take back, but none of the books on black magic was touched, and there were also some books on religious beliefs. There will be magicians from the Magic Union Law Enforcement Group to take over, and everything cannot be emptied.
"Siya, you go back with me this time!" Suldak said.
Siya rolled her eyes. Although she was reluctant, she had no reason to refute.
Although the two are on the same road in name, Suldak actually only needs to let Aphrodite end the summoning circle, and then he can go back to Ruyt City through the Void Gate, and Sia returns to Ruyt City the fastest. The only way to do this is to ride a magic scorpion over the mountains of the abandoned mining area.
Thinking about riding a magic handle and flying all night against the night wind, the Naga Mermaid would not be very happy.
Although he was reluctant, he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
…
Wearing a mithril mask, Aphrodite acted like a very eccentric alchemist.
In the camp, almost no one dared to talk to her.
She walked back to her tent, and Naomi was sitting quietly at the door of the tent, she was wrapped in a thick cloak, with a hood covering her face, hiding in the shadows.
Aphrodite sat down beside Naomi, and the two sat side by side.
Naomi had a faint smell of antiseptic potion.
Aphrodite turned to Naomi and asked, "Have you thought about it, should you join us? In fact, I think you should join us. At least life won't be as embarrassing as it is now..."
Naomi didn't say a word, and after a long silence, she said in a metallic voice: "I want to stay here. Celia Village is the place I am familiar with, and I don't want to go anywhere except there..."
"Since you insist, I respect your decision." Aphrodite said.
Naomi lifted the hood covering her head a little, revealing a skinny face that was almost covered with bones, and stared at Aphrodite in surprise.
"Suldak told you before that we are not a magic union, and we don't discriminate against people like you. As long as you don't violate local laws, you can live here forever, but no matter what, you can Beware of ordinary people around you, these people have been brainwashed by the Statue of Liberty too badly, even if they are abandoned by the Statue of Liberty now, they still don’t know how to repent, this is my personal suggestion to you.”
When Aphrodite spoke, she didn't look at Naomi's uncertain face.
"Actually, it's good to go back to Sailia Village. After all, it's relatively remote, and basically you won't come into contact with strangers..."
Naomi pursed her shriveled lips. She didn't say until the end that she wanted to stay to take care of the old Avi couple. Although the two old people and other children lived in Ruyt City, the children hoped that they could go to They live in the city, but the two old people stubbornly don't want to leave Celia Village.
Looking at Aphrodite's glowing mithril mask, Naomi pursed her lips again. She felt that her face had gradually become numb recently.
The body's cadaverization has further intensified, and she feels that her time may be numbered.
In the last few days, she hoped that she could hide at home and wait for death silently. She hoped that after her death, her body would fall into that mine...
…
Not far from the corner of the camp, Crake's body was lying in a coffin, his eyelids were covered with two copper plates, and his hands were folded on his chest.
It is said that these two copper coins were money for the ferrymen when his soul passed through the River Styx.
Although Crake’s wife and son had been in prison for a period of time, they were still a little frightened. The boy looked very thin, with some fear on his thin face.
The woman sat at the door of the tent, leaning against the coffin with a numb face, as if she had completely despaired of her future life.
Crake's death is really a big blow to their family. There are three children in the family who have to support them. The little savings in her hand can't last for too long. Her son will go to military service after he is sixteen. However, the two daughters will have to be raised for many years, and two dowries must be prepared for them. Otherwise, once they are arranged to marry a homeless man in the town, the days to come will make people feel even more desperate.
In this year and month, how could it be possible to marry without a dowry!
Once news of Crake’s death spreads, the woman will be remarried by the town’s census officer, and the new family doesn’t know what it will be like…
She felt a little cold in her body, and pulled the blanket around her body tighter. She looked at her son beside her, and stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms.
The two are cuddling each other like this, the night in the mountains seems to be very cold...
There will be another chapter later
