Chapter 139 Rich One Copper Coin Is Rich

When the evening sun appeared in the sky, Chu drew his long sword from a giant lion.

There was a panic and miserable wailing in the herd, they finally had the intention to retreat, and their king was killed.

The herd of beasts that came like a tide retreated like a tide in a short period of time.

When they left completely, only corpses and bloodstains were left on the ground outside Hiskama City.

When the autumn wind blows on the face, it is a little cold, which wakes up the people who were still fighting on the city wall from their trance.

They looked into the distance, facing the setting sun, and saw the black figure standing, stepping on the corpse of the beast king, holding a long sword, with his back facing the red sun.

"Ah!!" A soldier raised his spear and let out a roar with his face flushed. In this war with the beast, they had won.

"Ah!!!" Everyone raised their weapons and roared together.

They vented in the most primitive way, just like when humans drove the beasts away in the most primitive way.

"Heh, cough cough, heh heh."

Hiskama coughed and fell to sit on the edge of the city wall. He raised his head to face the afterglow that was about to fall, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and he let out a chuckle.

Mann stood beside him, his face was pale and he was about to say something, but he caught sight of another corpse out of the corner of his eyes, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and vomited.

"vomit!"

Hiskama turned his head wearily, looked at Mann vomiting, and smiled.

"Son, if you want to visit the mainland, this is not possible."

Mann felt like he was about to throw up his stomach, but the city lord was still talking sarcasticly.

With a dark face, he raised one of his hands, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said weakly.

"I know."

"However, you are very brave." Hiskama smiled and turned back: "I couldn't do things like you when I was your age."

At that time, he wanted to escape from this battlefield countless times, let alone came here on his own initiative.

"And." He said, lowering his eyes, looking at the figure under the city wall: "You have a very good companion."

Mann took a breath, followed his line of sight, and saw Chu standing there.He looked at it for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said softly with a faint smile.

"I know too."

Before returning to the walls, she had thought that people would fear her again, like the soldiers she had saved on the way here.

But when she returned to the city wall, she found that this was not the case. People looked at her with kindness, respect and gratitude in their eyes.

This made her a little at a loss, and she was rarely looked at by people with such eyes.

Fortunately, before she felt embarrassed, Hiskama rescued her, and he let everyone disperse to prepare separately. Tonight, there will be a banquet in the city.

People laughed and dispersed, and Chu was relieved.

······
At night, the city is illuminated by fire, and bonfires are lit everywhere on the streets. Soldiers from Hiskama, soldiers from the kingdom, hired adventurers, and civilians sit together, eat sumptuous food, and enjoy the celebration together. night.

People were drinking from large wine glasses made of wooden barrels. Of course, the soldiers of Hiskama were not allowed to drink, and they still needed to be responsible for the last period of security work.

The bard named Matt sat beside the bonfire and sang, this time his singing was no longer so sad, but with some lightness.

Someone asked him if he would leave in the future, and he still said yes, but this time he didn't intend to escape.He is going to spread a legend, and sing it to every corner of the continent, in order to repay a kindness.

The adventurers were holding wine glasses, blushing from drinking, bragging about their past adventures to the people around them.This time the employment was very fruitful for them, not only did they get ten gold coins as the employment fee, but they also gained a new bragging capital in the future.

She was still sitting in the corner at first, she didn't like lively occasions, or maybe she just wasn't used to it.

She sat for a while, and Mann came from one side with a bag in his hand.When he saw Chu, he smiled and shook the bag.

There is a clanging sound in the bag, and you don't need to look at it to know what's inside.

Mann sat beside Chu with a smile and opened the bag.

"The city lord named Hiskama is quite generous. Because of you, he gave us ten extra gold coins. He said that although it was not enough to express his gratitude to you, he still hoped that we would accept it."

"En." Chu responded lightly, obviously she didn't care much about the amount of gold coins.

Mann counted out ten gold coins from the purse, and took out two large silver coins, put them in another bag, and handed them to Chu: "This is your share, as we agreed, it will be divided equally."

Taking a first glance at the gold coin that Mann handed over, he paused and shook his head.

"Take it, I don't need these."

"It will always be used." Mann raised the coin in his hand, and said incomprehensibly: "This is gold, even in your world, it should be in circulation, right?"

Glancing at Mann for the first time, he replied in an incomprehensible tone, as if helpless, but also as if he was just answering casually.

"My world doesn't circulate these, and apart from your evil, I can't take anything from this world."

Mann froze for a moment, then he raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"My evil, that is to say, the more greedy I am, the more you can get."

He was holding the gold coin, his eyes were shining, and he looked like he was about to swallow it all by himself.

"Yeah." Chu quietly nodded and turned his gaze away.

But then, her hand sank, and it was Mann who stuffed the bag containing the gold coins into her hand.

"But this belongs to you." Mann looked at Chu seriously and said, with a smile on his lips.

"Although I am greedy, you must be honest when doing business. Whether you use it or not, they belong to you."

Chu took the coins, gave a half-sound, smiled helplessly, and hung them around his waist.

"But how do you become the richest man if we split evenly."

"Don't worry." Mann took out a copper coin from his pocket and shook it at Chu.

"I will always be richer than you."

This is the money he earned from the little girl who was about to starve to death on the way they came, a potato and a copper coin.

"I earned it myself, and I can't share it with you." Mann said proudly holding the copper coin.

At the beginning, he made him laugh out loud, but the evil laugh was still hoarse, but it was no longer so hard to hear: "A copper coin, how do you divide it?"

This is already the currency with the smallest denomination, so it is impossible to break it in half.

The celebration banquet was over, the envoy and the boy sat together, looked at the people celebrating the victory, smiled and chatted without saying a word.

"Speaking of which, you look really handsome in the herd today, when will you teach me how to do it?"

"You, you can't learn."

"Cut, be stingy."

"Ha ha."
