Since the incident with the bandit gang, the convoy's journey has become surprisingly smooth.
It only took about three days to reach the destination of this journey - Dupper, the capital of the Earl of Leicester.
The entrance to the city.
Caravan leaders such as Chandel took the initiative to find the guards at the city gate and report the defeat of the bandit group.
"What? You said you wiped out a gang of thieves and captured many prisoners?!"
"Yes, Mr. Knight, look, those are the ones locked up at the back of the convoy."
The guard looked in the direction of Chandel's finger and saw some people being held in makeshift prison carts, their hands and feet tied up with ropes.
"Okay, you guys wait here! Don't enter the city yet. I'll go notify the commander right away!"
After saying that, the guard hurried off to report the news, while the remaining guards continued to stay here to guard the city gate.
Many guards looked at Chandel and the others with envy, and then someone said, "You're really lucky. You defeated such a bandit gang. The bounty you'll receive will definitely be huge!"
"Oh no, no! We almost lost all our money on this trading trip. We'll be thankful if we can make back the bounty!"
Although Chandel cried poor, he couldn't suppress the smile that unconsciously curled up the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, yes, it's enough to make back the money!"
"There's really not much profit in this trip..."
The leaders of the other caravans also followed Chandel's lead and started to act poor.
The guards were speechless and secretly cursed the profiteer for being so stingy that he was unwilling to share the money for a glass of wine.
You know, it is quite profitable to eliminate a bandit gang in the empire.
First of all, there is the entire gang of thieves. If they are defeated, there will be a large bonus. Then, each thief will receive an additional bonus based on the number of kills. If the thief is still alive, the additional bonus for each person will be increased.
Because after being caught, thieves are usually reduced to slaves and sent to the most dangerous places to do hard labor, which is equivalent to creating value twice, so it is much more valuable than simply killing them. This is why Chandel and others want to take the captured thieves to Dupo even though it is troublesome.
In addition, if they are lucky enough and a thief happens to have a bounty on his head, then the reward for this bounty will naturally fall on them.
When you calculate it this way, it will indeed be an astonishing reward.
Not long after, several officials and dozens of guards arrived at the city gate.
They carefully verified the identity of the thieves' group and confirmed that they were a thieves' group active in a certain area.
Then the number of thieves' groups was verified.
At this point, the official inventory work is completed.
As for the possible bounty, Chandel and others need to confirm it themselves and then claim the bounty.
The handover was completed quickly.
The guards stepped forward and took over the prison cart that held the thieves, but because the shield-horned beast pulling the cart belonged to the caravan, they had to wait until the official sent a mount.
After receiving the documents stamped by several officials and confirming that the content was correct, Chandel and his colleagues happily gathered everyone together.
"Everyone, I, Chandel, am here on behalf of all the caravans to express my sincere gratitude for your help on this trip. Now, please don't rush to leave once you enter the city. Once we receive the bounty from the bandits, we will distribute it to everyone according to their contributions!"
Those who had participated in the campaign against the bandit gang smiled with satisfaction when they heard this.
After Chandel and the others left the address of their residence to everyone, they drove into the city, and the passengers and adventurers in the original convoy also scattered.
"Alec, you made a lot of money this time, let's drink together tonight!"
"Okay, sure!"
After smilingly responding to the invitations of other adventurer teams, Alec went to find Hulim.
"Hulim, this is what I promised you. It's all here. Please count it."
Alec took the escort fee he had just received from Chandel and handed it to Hulim.
Hulim weighed the purse, raised her head, and looked at Alec.
"Mr. Alec, you gave me all the money. Are you planning to let someone else treat you to drinks tonight?"
“Puhaha~!”
“Haha~!”
“… …”
Hulim's words made the other members of the Hunting Fang team burst into laughter.
Anjie laughed and patted Alec's shoulder.
"Alec, if you beg me now, I can buy you a drink~!"
York also took the opportunity to say:
"Well, yes, if Alec begs me sincerely, I can consider lending you the money without interest."
"You, you guys..."
Alex's face flushed red, and he wanted to beat up the teammate who had sabotaged him on the spot.
But in the end I endured it.
He said to Hulim with a twitching smile:
"Hey, Hulim, I'm not the kind of adventurer who goes out on quests only after running out of money. You don't have to worry about me. Even though I'm like this, I still have quite a bit of savings—"
"Hahahaha... He said he has quite a bit of savings~! Hahaha..."
Hulim: "..."
"...An-Jie-"
"Ah, sorry, sorry~, I just thought of something happy, so I couldn't help it~! Hehe~!"
Alec: “…”
"...Ahem! Hulim, don't listen to her nonsense. As an adult, it would be really shameful for me to have to worry about a child!"
