"Oh, you two are back!!"

Lawrence, who was feeding the pack beast, smiled and waved to Yiming and Mayalie, but when he saw clearly what was in Yiming's arms, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"What? Two, is that your bounty?"

(Please don't make such bad jokes, Mr. Lawrence.)

The message Meyal conveyed through consciousness is clear, but in fact, the girl who was held in Yi Ming's arms was still asleep. As for why she was brought with her, this was really a strange problem. After that, although Yi Ming and Mei Li woke up the girl again, it seemed that her sleepiness was quite strong. Sometimes she tilted her head and fell asleep without taking a few steps, and she was so fast that she seemed to have completely skipped the necessary actions such as yawning. Yi Ming once tried to talk to her to keep her awake, but

The old was invalid. In desperation, after learning from the girl that her destination was also a city of glory, Yiming and Meiali decided to take her with her. The girl's worrying strange quirk was one aspect, and Meiali and Yiming also wanted to communicate more with people in this world. So after asking for the half-sleeping girl's consent, Yiming had to pick her up and return to the carriage. The girl was exactly as they expected, nestled in Yiming's arms and fell asleep. It seemed that she couldn't sleep enough no matter how much she slept.

"Mr. Merchant, is this a disease?"

After relocating the girl, Yi Ming quickly raised his own question. The girl's soft and petite body in her arms just now had a very complete sense of reality, so Yi Ming had given up the hypothesis that this girl was a ghost, but even so, it still seemed very unusual for such a situation.

"Um……………"

After listening to Yi Ming's description, the knowledgeable businessman also frowned.

"I have never heard of this disease. I have seen other races have various abnormal reactions due to inadequate to the sun or the climate, but I have never heard of them being able to fall asleep on the street like this."

As long as it is not a common phenomenon.

Yi Ming shrugged and stared at the girl who was still immersed in her dreams and Mealie beside her. The girl was sleeping so well. Judging from her appearance, there would be no problem even if she was caught and sold. But why wouldn't she be noticed?

"This is your employment."

Luo's words interrupted Yi Ming's thoughts. He came to his senses. He saw Luo's smile and counting more than a dozen gold coins from his purse, then handed it over with a very exaggerated expression of pain. "If you stay in a hotel, it will be about half a month, but if it is a high-end hotel, it may be a problem for three days. However, after deducting your food and car travel expenses, that's about that. I hope you can be satisfied."

He is really a businessman, and he is really clear about it. However, Yi Ming did not have any special feeling about this. It is natural for a businessman to pursue interests. If he confuses personal affairs with business, he will not be able to do this. He nodded, then reached out and took ten gold coins from Lawrence's hand, leaving three in his palm at the same time. Lawrence narrowed his eyes happily, obviously understanding Yi Ming's meaning. "As long as you are in the same car as me, it is okay to be free?"

Even though he said so, he still took back the remaining few gold coins.

"But I didn't expect you to see this."

"What's the meaning?"

"Look... we are businessmen after all."

Lawrence scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Sometimes, it will be annoying to settle accounts too clearly. Although I know it is necessary, some people still hope to rely on good relationships to get some special offers. To be honest, when I told you this just now, I was prepared for this. After all, what a businessman does is just a business, and he cannot be affected by unnecessary feelings."

“There is an old saying in my country.”

Yiming carefully put the gold coins in his close pocket, then turned around and looked at Mei Yali, who was still observing the girl. She seemed to be very interested in the girl.

"Brothers settle the accounts clearly. Although this is indeed not something that is acceptable to people, it is still quite effective to avoid trouble."

"Brothers settle accounts clearly... the one who said this must be a great businessman."

Lawrence looked quite sympathetic.

The next journey was no longer able to use the pack beast, so he changed back to ordinary horses. Lawrence was still responsible for driving, while Yiming and Meallie were still guarding both sides of the carriage. According to Lawrence, the City of Honor is the largest neutral city here and a city for merchants. Merchants from all over the world will transport or pick up goods here and conduct various transactions. It is also the home of Lawrence. According to this travel merchant, he could arrive by driving the carriage for about three days. But he also made a request, hoping that Yiming and Meallie would continue to protect themselves. If something happened, it would be fine for the two to join forces to deal with it. After seeing their skills in the desert, Lawrence had already made such a decision.

(Yiming?)

"Um?"

Sitting on the right side of the carriage, Yi Ming, who was bored and admired the scenery, suddenly heard Mayalie's voice in his mind.

(I just kept thinking………It seems a bit strange.)

"As it true? You can tell that you must be thinking about something."

Yi Ming shrugged her shoulders and responded easily. In fact, Mayalie is an old problem. As long as she looks at something for a long time, she is mostly considering things that have nothing to do with it. It seems that the scene in front of her is just a promoter for benign thinking. And just now, Yi Ming saw that she had been watching the sleeping girl, and basically guessed that Mayalie must be thinking about something.

(Those group of sand thieves are too unnatural no matter how they think about it.)

"You mean, you obviously care about your own life, but later it turned into a life-desperate attack like the Kanbuki Death Squad?"

Yiming looked at Luo Luns who was focusing on chasing the train and said in a voice that he could hardly hear. But this is not a problem. As long as he "says", Mealie will definitely be able to "speak".

(That's right, according to the situation we found out from the mercenaries, sand thieves rarely attacked like this without any consequences. What do you think?)

"It's not that they're drunk too much..." Yi Ming looked at Luo Luns's back, with a hint of solemnity hidden in his eyes. "It's something that forced them to do everything they can."

(Do you think you will still be attacked?)

Mei Yali turned her umbrella and asked in confusion. But Yi Ming stretched her waist first, then leaned against the back of the carriage and closed her eyes to answer her question.

"If we are attacked again, can we prove our guess?"

Luo Luns probably noticed this suspicious point. Yi Ming closed his eyes and thought that based on his experience of traveling around the world, it would be ridiculous if he could not tell the difference between "robbers" and "outlaws". Thinking of this, Yi Ming suddenly remembered another thing.

"Mr. Lawrence?"

"What's up?"

After urging the horse who didn't work hard, Lawrence asked without looking back.

"Remember you once said that you had to travel alone in the desert because of the mercenary group you hired."

"yes."

When this matter was mentioned, even the knowledgeable businessman couldn't help but start to feel depressed.

"Because these magical gems are very expensive, I also specially commissioned a new mercenary group that knew nothing about the desert to do things. I thought those guys would at least not do anything to me before leaving the desert because of my years of experience in walking in the desert. After all, this is for their own good. But I never expected that those guys had discussed taking the water and robbing things and killing people just a few days into the desert. It seems that I am still too stupid..." The voice from Lawrence was helpless. "But the same guys, don't think about walking out of the desert anymore. If there is no one familiar with the desert, I may not even be able to distinguish between the south, south, west and north. Humph, I didn't hire a tour guide, just because I was afraid that such a thing would happen."

Didn't the result still happen?

Yi Ming smiled bitterly and did not say this, but his heart had already vaguely linked this matter to the sand thieves.

The problem is... If the assumption is really true, do the gems brought by Lawrence have any special value? This is what Yi Ming is most confused about, and he cannot ask in person. And there is no guarantee that Lawrence must know something. According to Yi Ming's experience, although merchants like Lawrence are generally smart, sometimes it is more convenient for smart people to do dangerous and stupid things. Because they think they have seen through the other party's plans, they are more likely to be exploited. In the conversation with Lawrence, Yi Ming already felt that the merchant was extremely confident in his experience, and those who rely on experience often make mistakes in inertial thinking. Once they take what kind of transactions for granted, it is equivalent to having loopholes to exploit.

After all………we have done the same thing before.

“Woo………?”

Suddenly, Yi Ming noticed something moving on the carriage. Then the girl sat up with the doll swayingly, with a half-sleeping expression that was no different from before. She reached out and pressed it a few times in a daze, then turned around... Fortunately, Mealie was quick-eyed and quickly pulled her. Otherwise, the girl might have fallen off the galloping carriage like this.

"I said, Miss, it's a shame that you can live safely until now."

Yiming glanced at Meyalie and said to the girl with a helpless smile.

"Anie is here..."

The girl moved her eyes in a daze, then placed her eyes on Yiming and Mayali.

"Ah, by the way, Aini is traveling with people..."

As she said that, she rubbed her eyes, looking still sleepy. But the girl was still holding the doll tightly in her hand, not seeming to want to let go at all.

"Is this in the carriage?"

"That's right."

Yi Ming waved at her.

"Are you awake? Your Highness the Princess?"

"Anie is not a princess..."

I don't know if it was vomiting or shy, the girl buried her face in the doll, but her voice was still lazy and had no ups and downs. She half-squinted her eyes and lowered her head. Her long hair swayed with her shaking.

(Yiming, ask the child’s name.)

"By the way, I said little lady."

After hearing the advice from Mayalie coming from her mind, Yi Ming waited for the opportunity when the girl raised her head slightly and began to ask.

"If possible, can you tell us your name?"

"name?"

Aini raised her head, but still hid her lower half behind the doll.

"Ani's name is Ani? Eulfinia, Eulichis, Flanlica, Inzado, Belukolin. Just call Ani..."

“………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Yi Ming gave up remembering such a long name in an instant, but Mei Yali looked calm.

(This long name is very common in Europe.)

"I can't stand the names with more than five words."

Faced with the announcement that Meyari proudly raised his chest, Yi Ming replied helplessly. At this moment, Aini began to ask questions curiously.

"Where is the big brother's name?"

"My name is Yiming...her name is Mealie Didevile Louise. Just call her Mealie. As for me...I don't need any abbreviation."

It was originally a name with two characters, but it would be too strange to subtract it into one character.

"Brother Yiming... and Sister Meiyali?"

Aini tilted her head slightly, like a squirrel with a strong sense of alertness.

"Well, Aini remembers."

She nodded, then lowered her eyes and stared at the doll in front of her, and then...

"call…………"
