The sun is scorching the earth, and many leaves have turned yellow.
Oren is practicing bow and arrow at the shooting range.
In the past, the weapon Oren used was always a two-handed giant sword, but after experiencing the last mission, he found that it was very powerful in deterring long-range enemies, so Oren also added this skill that he had previously ignored to his daily routine.
In training.
Gle also came to the shooting range at this time, and after seeing Oren practicing bow and arrow, he watched quietly from the side.
After a while, Oren stopped practicing. Only a dozen of the twenty arrows hit the target. It was too bad! Oren's brows frowned slightly.
Glie next to him saw it and comforted him.
"It's okay Oren, you just started practicing, take your time!"
Oren turned his head to look at Gree and said slowly.
"Yeah, I know."
Then he asked Greg with some doubts.
"Why are you thinking of coming to see me today? Aren't you going to train the team today?"
Normally, like Oren, Gelie and the others are actively training their team every day, as well as training by themselves.
A few people usually only get together when doing tasks, and every few days a few people will get together to discuss what happened during this period, or exchange their own practice experiences and insights with each other.
Sometimes a few people would meet up to go to Mr. Purton or Knight Tyrann to ask for some practice experience from these two formal knights, and they would also tell them about the problems they encountered in their daily training.
So when he saw Glie coming to find him at this time, Oren was a little confused, because this was not the time for them to meet.
After hearing Oren's question, Gelie hurriedly told Oren the purpose of his visit.
"Have you received your military pay this month?"
After hearing what Gree said, Oren suddenly understood. He had almost forgotten about it. He had been busy training during this period. Since he included bows and arrows in his training plan, he had no more spare time.
of free time.
They had all forgotten about this matter, so they were a little surprised after hearing Gledo's words.
When Gree saw Oren's expression, he knew that Oren had forgotten this matter again. Oren had always been a cultivator in their eyes, and he immediately said to Oren.
"I know you didn't get it, let's go! Let's go together."
Oren nodded slowly after hearing what Gree said.
"OK."
Oren and Glei can receive military pay of five silver coins every month because they hold the position of squad captain and are also knight attendants.
An ordinary soldier only has a military pay of one silver coin per month.
…
The two walked all the way through the camp, and after passing through the camps of several teams, they came to a hall. This was where they received their military pay. They usually collected supplies from each territory in a unified manner.
The materials in each territory are also uniformly distributed by the entire Witte City. This is the result of negotiations between the lords of each territory, which is also conducive to the progress of the war.
After walking through the hall, the two came to a window. They saw an old man inside holding a booklet and recording.
After seeing this, Gelie went up and knocked on the window and said to the old man inside.
"Old man, are you busy?"
The old man inside the window raised his head and looked at Gelie after hearing the noise from Glie.
"Gele, come and receive the army's pay!"
After hearing what the old man said, Gle also smiled and said to him.
"Then why are you here? If you don't introduce your granddaughter to me, then I might still come here."
After hearing what Gree said, the old man hurriedly said to him.
"Go, go, don't try to take advantage of my granddaughter."
After that, he took out five silver coins from the window and handed them to Greed, and then said to him with some disgust.
"Take it and leave quickly! Don't get in my old man's eyes."
Gelie took the five silver coins and said to the old man with a smile.
"Don't worry, old man, there is another person here."
While talking, Oren walked up.
After hearing what Gree said, the old man looked at Oren and asked him.
"What's it called? Which territory is it from?"
After hearing this, Oren immediately reported his information.
"My name is Oren, and I'm from Baron Filer's team."
The old man lowered his head and muttered after hearing Oren's words.
"Oren...Baron Filer..."
After checking the situation, he said to Oren.
"Your last month's and this month's total are ten silver coins, right? Here, here you go."
As he spoke, he handed Oren ten silver coins, and Oren took them and said.
"Yes."
After seeing Oren take it, Gelie said to the old man again.
"Then let's go first, old man. If you think about it clearly when, let me know."
The old man replied disgustedly after hearing what Gree said.
"Get out of here, boy Gelie, stop dreaming, just give up on this idea!"
…
After Oren and Gelie walked out of the hall, Gelie asked Oren again.
"What are you going to do next? Do you want to go have a drink."
After hearing Gle's words, Oren looked at the ten silver coins in his hand and thought of his parents and uncle who were far away in Bosai City.
"No, I want to go to the caravan and send the money back to my parents."
After hearing this, Ge Li nodded and said.
"Okay, let's go together. I'll also send some home."
"Yeah. Let's go,"
…
The two of them walked all the way to the south of Witte City.
This is a gathering place for caravans, and supplies brought by various caravans from within the kingdom are also sold here.
When the two of them came here, they saw a dazzling array of products, and various voices calling to buy came to their ears.
It made both of them vaguely feel like they were back in Bosai City.
And the existence of this place also gives the tight city of Witte a slightly different scenery.
There are also several taverns opened by caravans here. For some people who like wine, Witte City is simply a paradise.
There are also some other services here, but Oren doesn't know much about them. They all know about them from Gle and the others.
…
The two slowly came to a caravan called "Bauhinia Caravan".
The Bauhinia Caravan is a very famous caravan in the entire Frant Kingdom. It is backed by the Nuan family, one of the three major ducal families of the Frant Kingdom, and it is also the family that Oren and the others passed through in the first place.
Because it is backed by the Nuan family, it is spread widely throughout the Farrant Kingdom and has also spread to other kingdoms.
Moreover, the reputation of the Redbud Caravan has always been very good in the Farrant Kingdom.
Oren and the others also sent them back in this caravan several times before.
Then Oren and Glei walked into the Redbud Caravan, and the steward of the caravan hurriedly greeted them after seeing them.
"What do you two gentlemen need? Our caravan recently transported another batch of finely brewed ale."
Because Oren and the others had sent them back here several times before, the steward became familiar with the two of them. Moreover, Oren and Gelie were still knight attendants.
After hearing what the steward said, Oren told the steward the purpose of his visit.
"We want to send a sum of money to Bossai City..."
The steward asked after hearing what Oren said.
"Is it still the same as last time?"
"right."
Oren and the others have sent them here several times, and the caravan also knows a lot about their situation.
The steward then asked Oren and the others.
"Need anything else?"
After hearing this, Oren immediately said to the steward.
"I would like to give my parents and uncle a message, saying, "I am living a good life here, so they don't have to worry. Also, let them not have to worry about it. They can buy whatever they want and don't work too hard."
"So be it!"
After Oren finished speaking, he handed the steward thirteen silver coins, ten of which were sent to his family, and the other three were the reward for this time.
This was during the war, and the various expenses for the caravan were much more expensive than usual.
"Okay. I will bring it to you."
After taking Oren's money, the steward looked at Glee and asked.
"Where is this gentleman?"
Gelie then sent some money and asked the caravan to bring a few words.
…
After the two of them finished their business at the Bauhinia Caravan, they didn't stay too long and walked out immediately.
After the two came out, they didn't go back to the camp directly. They just walked around slowly to see if there was anything new or interesting.
The two also wanted to take advantage of this rare free time to relax and feel the lively atmosphere here.
Cultivation requires a degree of relaxation, and training cannot be carried out blindly. Occasionally relaxing can also relieve everyone's tense hearts.
…
Oren and Gelie returned to the camp not long after wandering there.
It was already approaching dusk when the two returned to the camp.
The two of them went together to settle down after today's dinner.
Oren and Greed separated.
When Oren returned to his tent, the blue moon was already hanging in the sky.
Oren immediately resumed today's daily training, as well as practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique.
Not long after, Olympus ended today's practice. After a brief wash.
Oren sat outside the tent, silently looking at the blue moon hanging in the sky.
At this moment, Oren thought of his parents and Uncle Bert who were far away in Bossai City.
I wonder what they are doing at this time? How are they doing?
Have your parents bought new clothes?
Do they often worry about themselves?
Is Uncle Bert's work in the blacksmith shop going well?
Then Oren thought of Ange and the others again, wondering what they were doing at this time.
And Mr. Staley, I don't know if he is in good health now.
Is he still teaching in that school and telling the teenagers about the wonderful moments of his youth?
Oren looked at the sky, his thoughts gradually drifting away.
He thought again of the huge things he often saw flying across the sky when he was a child.
Until now, Oren has not figured out what they are.
Oren didn't know if he would ever have the chance to find out what those things were in the future.
Maybe it will be figured out. Maybe it will take a long time. Oren thought.
