Chapter 7 Kofis
"Yiming."
The next morning, Yi Ming was preparing to set off, but Kufes suddenly came over and said hello to him. On the surface, Kufes was three or four years older than Yi Ming, and Yi Ming's current identity was like them, so Kufes did not add any honorific title, but called his name directly.
"Miss Coofies, is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, I... want to talk to you about some things. Is it convenient now?"
Yiming noticed that Kufes bit "you" very hard, so he turned around and looked at Mealie, who had just woken up and was wiping her cheeks with a little water. Then he nodded and turned around to show a gentle smile at Kufes.
"No problem, please tell me."
"First of all, I'm going to give this to you."
As he said that, Kufes handed over the bag. Yi Ming took it curiously, then frowned slightly. He naturally saw the head buried in the sand, but he didn't understand what Kufes's move meant. Could it be that the alternative custom of this world? But you give the head early in the morning... This is a bit too much.
"I think you don't know who you killed yesterday."
Kuffith smiled, obviously guessing Yi Ming's reaction in advance. In fact, she also guessed from this point that the two of them must have never been mercenaries. Otherwise, after killing so many thieves, it would be impossible for them to look at what their leader looked like, and they even threw them away without collecting the things on them. This is a mistake that even the lowest-level mercenaries would not make. At least the rookie knew to flip the spoils, right?
"These two people are sand thieves who have dominated this area for several years. Their nicknames are 'Fat Bear' and 'Hungry Wolf'. They have been offered official rewards. Their heads are worth 500 gold coins! Put them away. Fortunately, the desert itself is dry. As long as you use these sand to bury your head, it should be no problem to save it until you go out."
"Thank you for your reminder."
Yiming nodded to Kuffith to express his gratitude. In fact, the amount Kuffith said did not make Yiming care too much. First of all, he and Mayale knew nothing about the currency equivalent of this world, and they could not imagine what the five hundred gold coins were. If you want to pretend, you can't pretend, but Kuffith saw that Yiming looked calm and did not look surprised by this number at all, and his evaluation of him in his heart increased a little.
(I didn't expect that the fat man's head was still valuable...)
At this time, after finishing packing, Meyari walked to Yiming's side and said with some emotion. Yiming could only smile helplessly. At this time, Kuffith looked at Meyari. She thought for a moment, and obviously what she was going to say next was a bit difficult to say. But she finally looked at Meyari and stared at her with sharp eyes.
"Mayalie, you really can't speak?"
“………………………Miss Coofies, what do you mean?”
Yi Ming's expression was still that gentle and indifferent, but his tone "accidentally" lowered by about octave.
"I have been observing since yesterday. Indeed, Mealie has never said a word. But for a person who cannot speak, he always needs to rely on other means to express his meaning. But according to my observation, Mealie has not shown any body language when communicating with you or Mr. Lawrence, as if you can speak at all..."
"I think this should have nothing to do with you, Miss Coofise."
Yi Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly glanced at Meyari. It was obvious that she was also surprised by Kuffith's words. In fact, they were indeed careless in this regard. Yi Ming was used to Mayali's ideological communication, as if he was usually talking, eating, drinking, and breathing. It was obvious that Mayali was the same, but he did not expect that Kuffith would take all this in his eyes and take it to heart. This made Yi Ming's heart a little uneasy and anger, so he took the lead and stood in front of Mayali.
"In addition, I hope Miss Kuffith understands that it is very rude to observe others in secret. We are just peers, not your subordinates. I hope you can respect our privacy. If you have nothing to do, I think we should be ready to set off."
“………………………………”
There was no trace of anger in Yi Ming's words, but she clearly showed the intention of expelling guests. Kufes was not a fool, so she naturally knew that it would be useless to stay here, so she didn't say anything anymore and turned around and left.
(I'm sorry.)
"That's right."
Yi Ming nodded, his eyes fixed on Kuffith, and only sighed long until her figure disappeared.
"It seems that we should be more careful. Since Kufe can see the abnormality, I believe others will see the problem in the future. We must think of a solution, otherwise, this will become a big problem."
(However, now we cannot change anything. Otherwise, it will easily make them suspicious)
"That's right."
Listening to Meyari's words, Yiming threw the bag in his hand and took it to his hand. Even though Kufes really doubted Meyari now, it was only at a stage where he was not sure. But if Meyari changed his way of action, then with Kufes's vision and wisdom, it was hard not to see that they were 300 taels of silver here. However, when Yiming got on the camel car, he looked at the mercenaries in front of him and said an inexplicable complaint.
"Even if it's a test, this is too much."
He is very strong and has unique features in dealing with things.
Sitting in a carriage in front of him, Kuffith thought carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In fact, although she was indeed a little confused about Meyerly's behavior, Kuffith honestly did not take such trivial matters at all. From the way Meyerly and Yiming acted, she could see that the two must have partnered for quite a while, whether they were a couple or a simple peer relationship, since they could get along so well, there were naturally some communication skills that ordinary people could not understand or master. As an experienced mercenary, Kuffith naturally would not be confused about such trivial matters. But she still asked... and was warned by Yiming without being soft or hard. Obviously, although Kuffith has always been very proud of her figure and appearance, and with her deterrent momentum, few men can raise their heads and say a few tough words in front of her.
It seems that the second stage is about to go to.
The mixed caravan did not seem to have changed, and Lawrence was still responsible for chasing the car. However, as a businessman, he naturally could not avoid dealing with people around him and at the same time to build relationships with the Brumma Chamber of Commerce. After all, travel merchants like him would inevitably deal with these big chambers of commerce in the future. In this semi-closed environment, the friendship between each other is much more effective than hiring people to go to a tavern several times in a big city. Meyali and Yiming were still at the end and did not deal with anyone. Yiming was very dissatisfied with Kuffith's actions of "peeping" with him and others. Although she was quite friendly to Yiming just now, the subsequent inquiry really conflicted with the bottom line between Yiming and Meiali.
Even though he knew that Kufes didn't really intend to doubt anything, Yi Ming still felt uncomfortable.
The entire caravan was safe and sound every day. According to the current progress, if you only walk for another day, you can leave the desert.
However, just as everyone was busy preparing to set up camp, Kuffith actually came to Yiming and Mealli again. This time, she faced Mealli directly.
"Mayalie, I heard from Mr. Lawrence that you are also a good warrior."
(………………………)
What does this woman want to do?
"I think you saw it too, I'm a woman too."
Kuffith gently tapped the hilt of her sword, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. It seemed that she was also trying to ease the previously stiff atmosphere.
"And, I'm also a warrior. Since we are all the same... then, should we compete?"
Facing Kuffith's invitation, Mayalie was silent for a moment. She looked at Kuffith, as if she was exploring her true meaning. Then, she nodded slowly to agree.
(Leave it to me, Yi Ming. She won't see through my abilities so easily.)
"learn."
Yi Ming nodded and retreated to the side. Mei Yali smiled confidently at him, then put away the parasol with a "pop", and then the rune sword immediately deformed and instantly turned back to the original thin sword.
"Oh? This is really interesting..."
Mayalie's move surprised Kufe. She originally thought that the parasol in the hand of this seemingly weak lady was just some kind of prop, but she didn't expect that it was her weapon. And from this change, this weapon was obviously very unusual. Thinking of this, Kufe's also ignited his fighting spirit. She pulled out the long sword from her waist and carefully observed the other party's actions. The mercenaries also noticed the battle between the two girls and surrounded them one after another. The mercenaries were born to like watching the fun. Now the protagonist of the performance is their leader, so they naturally shouted very vigorously. Among the lively crowd, only Yi Ming hugged his arms and stared at the two of them expressionlessly.
