Become a martial girl

Chapter 40 The Hermit

The news of the extermination of the bandits seemed to have spread like wildfire, and people in the city stopped one after another, scrambling to see the triumphant returning team.Some of the young men among the mercenaries couldn't hold it back any longer. Once they were stopped by passers-by, they began to gleefully tell how brave they were, and how they beat the gang of robbers into the air.For a moment, the main road extending from the city gate to the hillside became a sea of ​​laughter!

Mengdie slightly opened the curtains, and she was also a little happy to see the happy smiling faces of people.There was a seven or eight-year-old child looking at her, so she smiled back, waved her hand, and lowered the curtains.

"Mom, mom! Look, there is a very beautiful sister in that carriage!" The little boy said excitedly, holding his mother.

The mother glanced at the badge on the carriage, her expression was solemn, she quickly pulled her son aside, and whispered, "Hush your voice! That's a royal family's carriage, don't be so rude!"

The camera turned to Mengdie. She listened to the cheers outside the car with a relaxed and joyful expression.Taking advantage of this gap, she felt that it was time to get out of the car and go back to see the two sisters, Aiania.So she gave Edward a slight smile and said, "I'm sorry to ask you to drive me here. It's time for me to get off."

After hearing this sentence, Edward's face immediately became reluctant.He boldly held Mengdie's hand, but Mengdie didn't care about it, and continued to smile and said, "What's wrong?"

Edward raised his eyebrows for a while, his face flushed and he didn't say a word.In the end, I had to let go of my hand because of too much embarrassment, and sat upright.

"Can you...can you stay with me for a while? Just...just for a while...accompany me to my house, go to my house for a cup of tea..."

Mengdie shook her hand, said goodbye again, turned around and went to pull the door of the carriage.Seeing that she was about to leave, the resentment in Edward's heart was hard to express in ten thousand words.But just when he thought that the girl in front of him was about to disappear from his eyes, the girl was stunned and sat back in her original position.

"Yes... Do you agree to sit at my house for a while? Mengdie...! I... I will immediately ask someone to prepare a good black tea! And... there are pastries!"

"What are you talking about? It's a mess. How can I leave without settling accounts between us?"

In Edward's astonishment, Mengdie stretched out his hand to him honestly, spread out his fingers, and said, "4600 sula, my reward. You should be able to give it to me now, right?"

Edward's face obviously looked like he had been punched, and his mouth was tilted to one side.I don't know if he is discouraged because of his disillusionment, or because Mengdie doesn't understand his own mind so much?He shook his head helplessly, turned his head, and lifted the curtain facing Uncle Du...

"correct!"

But suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned back, with a strange expression on his face.

"Mengdie, I can't give you your reward yet."

As soon as the words fell, Mengdie's originally beaming smile immediately darkened.There was even a look of contempt brewing in her eyes.

"No, no, no! Meng...Mengdie, don't get me wrong! I don't mean to renege on my debts, really! In fact...it's actually like this. Look, I don't seem to be able to carry 4600 sula with me now, do I? I have to go back to the castle, report everything to His Majesty, and transfer all the matters before I can allocate money from the treasury. Only then can I give you the money."

"How long will it take?"

Mengdie's tone was completely cold.It's not that she is greedy for money, but because this money is really important to Aiya.And whether he can enter the castle smoothly and win his own necklace at the auction, no matter what method he uses, more or less financial support is needed.

"Two days... no! One day! I assure you, the money must be settled before tomorrow. At that time, I will send Dubo to the place where you are temporarily staying and inform you to come to the castle. Believe me. I will use my Randymu I swear by your surname, I have absolutely no intention of robbing you of this money!"

Mengdie squinted at Edward's face.After a long time, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and clapped her hands together.

"That's it, there's nothing you can do. Brother, I can trust your character. After all, you have lived and died together. Then I will wait for you."

Mengdie stretched out her left hand, and Edward didn't quite understand what she meant when she stretched out her hand. He stared at the white and slender hand, not knowing what Mengdie wanted to do.Mengdie was a little annoyed by Edward's reaction.

how?Don't people in this world even shake hands?

Well, since this elm head can't shake hands, let me do it!
Mengdie grabbed Edward's left hand and shook it with a smile.Then, before Edward came back to his senses, he had already stepped forward to hug him and patted his brother on the back.At this moment, she is really happy that she can meet such a helpful brother in this world!
"That...Edward, before getting out of the car...I have one small request."

Mengdie clasped her hands together in a pleading gesture, smiling apologetically.

Being hugged by Mengdie just now, Edward's brain has obviously been short-circuited.His eyes were out of focus, and his complexion was redder than a ripe tomato.Hearing Mengdie's words, she almost nodded instinctively with a dull expression.

"This matter... is actually like this. In the past ten days, I have eaten yours, lived in yours, and used yours. I even wear your clothes. Other mercenaries take care of their own food, but I am in your I’ve been eating here for so many days. So it’s a bit embarrassing to say this now... Can you lend me twenty sura? I want to buy some vegetables and take them home so that I don’t have to suffer Some complaints from Aiya."

Edward is still in a daze...

"Ah! Don't worry! Just like you promised not to renege on your debts, I will definitely not renege on your debts! I will definitely return the money to you from the commission at that time! May I ask... is it possible?"

Finally, Edward's brain recovered from the deep short circuit.For Mengdie's request, where would he say "no"?Immediately opened the curtain and asked Uncle Du for a hundred sura, and handed it to Mengdie.

Mengdie smiled and shook her head, only took out two coins with a face value of ten sula, and pushed the remaining money in front of Edward intact.She held the two coins and shook them in front of Edward's eyes, smiled slightly, and opened the car door...

"Dream... Dream Butterfly!"

When Edward came back to his senses and wanted to see it again.The figure of the girl had long since disappeared into the crowd.

"cough………………"

With a long sigh, Edward's spirit became sluggish.At this moment, the Dubo in front opened his mouth——

"Master, I hope you put the overall situation first. No matter what identity that girl will have in the future, it should never be the identity you want to give her now."

Edward's eyes were empty and he slumped on the bedding.He reached into his bosom, took out the application form that Mengdie filled out that day, and stared at the lifelike magic image on it...
