Chapter 372 Mia’S True Identity (1)
Three days later.
The soldiers of Winter City began to return to Eagle Territory.
King Winter took the lead and left on the dragon.
Most players teleported back by committing suicide, but only a few players did not.
Because they still have followers, and they want to take their followers back with them, they cannot leave them alone, otherwise, the monsters they encounter on the road alone will be enough to make their followers die a hundred times.
The returning team is led by Wu Doren. They will set off from the Kalanli Empire, pass through the densely populated Merton Empire in the basin and hills, and then arrive at the Nelson Inland Sea.
There will be ships from the Winter Empire coming to pick them up in the Nelson Inland Sea.
This is the shortest distance, and the whole journey is carried by a carriage pulled by four horses. Otherwise, we have to cross the mountains, and we will not be able to reach it in the next year or so.
Early in the morning, the player team gathered on the plain at the entrance of Kalanli King City. They were expected to set off at nine o'clock in the morning, that is, after the clock in Kalanli King City struck three times, but they did not wait and waited without waiting. My own follower Mia.
"Where did this person go?" Seeing that most of the players and followers were already in place, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
At the end of the war, most of the soldiers discharged their armor and returned to their fields with military pay. As a veteran who participated in the Kalanli Defense War and the Emerald Fortress Battle, Mia certainly has such an honor. His family lives in Kurban Village near the Kalanli Royal City. In the town, when he left the day before yesterday, he told Bu Shiren that he would leave with Bu Shiren, but he wanted to go back and take his father with him to pack up his belongings.
If you don't do human affairs, you will naturally have no objection to this.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
So I let Mia leave.
Today is already the third day, and there is still no news from Mia.
After a leisurely moment, he was looking at the wilderness in the distance without doing anything, with a serious expression and a faint thought. Then he came to him and said with a kind smile:
"What's wrong? The battlefield missions are over, haven't you had enough?"
"No." He shook his head indifferently: "My entourage is missing. He left three days ago and has not come back yet. But looking at his information bar, his condition is still normal and his life is not worried."
"Three days, shouldn't it be?" A moment leisurely said in surprise: "Our followers are all the defenders of Kalanli King City. These defenders basically come from Kalanli City and nearby towns, and some of them come from the five major cities. They said that because of the undead natural disaster, everyone died and they didn’t even return home. Anyone who lives nearby is only a day’s journey away. They must have encountered something..."
I feel the same way even if I don’t do human things.
He looked at the sky and saw that it would still be some time before nine o'clock in the morning.
It took about a quarter of an hour to ride a fast horse to the small town of Kurban, so I simply borrowed two horses from the defenders of the Royal City of Kalanli and rushed towards the small town of Kurban with a leisurely companionship.
…
In the small town of Kurban.
Mia was locked in the woodshed and cried.
Her hands and feet were tied up with hemp ropes. Although she had learned a lot of combat skills from being a human being, she was still just an ordinary weak woman. She was not able to face the sneak attacks of three or five big men. Space for resistance.
Guarding outside the woodshed were two militiamen wearing leather armor, holding oak shields and ordinary iron swords.
At this time, an old man with a sinister look came over.
The two militiamen immediately saluted him respectfully.
"Lord Mayor!"
"Yeah." The old man hummed nonchalantly, then passed the two militiamen and stepped into the woodshed.
The mayor of Kurban Town, Morik, stared indifferently at the girl who had put on normal women's clothes, and slowly said:
"Mia, today is the day you and my son get married. I hope you'd better be honest, otherwise I don't mind telling your uncle. Whether your uncle will care about your father in the future is beyond my control. ”
Mia huddled helplessly in the corner of the woodshed without saying a word.
She didn't want to marry Morik's son.
He was a well-known fool in the town.
I am over 40 years old and can’t even take care of myself to eat.
On the contrary, he crooked his mouth and shouted that he wanted to marry a beautiful girl every day.
Moreover, Morik’s real purpose was to covet the monthly subsidy that she, a battlefield veteran, could receive. Of course, after marrying her, it would not matter whether she was the wife of Morik’s stupid son or Morik’s plaything. And know it.
The cause of the incident must start with her uncle Poros' sudden visit.
Three days ago, she had just arrived home and before she had time to eat, she went to town and prescribed the best medicine for her father.
And after returning home, she took off her armor and no longer dressed up like a man.
She put on her girl's clothes again, looking slim and graceful.
She just didn't know where her uncle Poros found out that she was back and that she could get a sum of money from the king every month. It happened that the mayor was in a hurry to find a wife for his stupid son, and her uncle's eyes flashed. He changed his mind and took the initiative to go to the mayor's mansion to mingle with Mayor Morik.
Although my father is ill in bed.
But at least she still has the power to exercise custody and decide major events in Mia's life.
But her uncle brutally knocked her father unconscious and forcibly arranged the marriage with Mayor Morik.
In the following days, her uncle Poros, this idle drunkard, could receive 20% of the subsidy as compensation every month.
At the same time, he serves as the "facilitator" of this marriage.
Mayor Morik will also give Boros 10 gold coins as an additional reward.
She was a strange woman who disguised herself as a man and entered the military camp to treat her father's illness. She experienced a narrow escape on the battlefield, and after the war ended, she was awarded the honor of a veteran.
Unexpectedly, he was betrayed by his uncle on the first day he returned to town.
The reason is just to use 20% of the subsidy to pay for drinks.
Family affection becomes small and sad in the face of interests.
Mayor Morik didn't care much when he saw that Mia was silent.
Anyway, the wedding team has arrived.
When his stupid son marries such a beautiful wife, no one in the town will dare to laugh at him anymore.
As for his son being inhumane, it doesn't matter. He can take care of the family lineage and so on. Even though he is 80 years old, he is still very strong as a great knight.
The more Morik thought about it, the more satisfied he became, and a proud smile appeared on his sinister old face.
Mia's uncle Poros was indispensable for this matter.
He decided to let the old drunkard live a little longer, just until his grandson was born.
After all, having a grandchild will require additional expenses.
Taking out 20% of the subsidy would seem a bit too wasteful.
"Dong dong qiang——"
The sound of gongs and drums came from outside the yard.
Morik knew that the wedding team had arrived, so he ordered two militiamen to lift Mia up, and then walked out of the small courtyard with a happy face.
