Looking at the villagers who were blocked from the wolf carcasses, Xia Duo waved to Jibu, "Hurry up and deal with these wolf carcasses. We will take away the pelts, but we won't need the meat. Leave it to the village."
"good."
The wolf corpse was nothing. The real big deal was the three magic items. Sha Duo called the other three apprentices together to discuss. This time, the magic items were divided among the four mage apprentices and Ava.
Of course, since Xia Duo used two magic scrolls and acted as bait, the actual distribution would account for the majority, and everyone else agreed with this.
Soon, the wolf carcass was taken care of, but the snow became heavier and heavier. The villagers even invited Xia Duo and others to stay in the village temporarily and return after the snow stopped.
But now that the wolf in the way is gone, how can the apprentices who are eager to return stay?
In this way, the group of people stepped into the snow and wind under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
…
There were no other accidents on the way back, but the windy and snowy road was difficult. The group finally arrived at the south gate of the town near noon.
Similar to them, some teams also returned at about this time. For a while, the south gate became extremely lively. Some people showed off their trophies, and some shouted their friends' names loudly.
"Xia Duo, did you see that? Those people captured a living orc!"
Looking in the direction Dean pointed, it turned out to be a living orc, tied tightly and dragged on the snow. But even in Savile Town, the orc was still struggling unwillingly.
Sammy next to him also took up the conversation, "If this one orc sells it to the Plantagenet Merchant Guild, he can sell it for 100 gold coins!"
"Maybe there will be more! In the future, the tide of orcs will disappear, and there will definitely be few orcs. How can it be sold for only 100 gold coins?!" Devine immediately raised his eyebrows.
Dean also joined in, "Don't say that. If it's too expensive, how many people can afford it? Besides, the lord must have captured a lot of orc slaves. I think it's good if the orc can be sold for 100 gold coins." Got it!"
"By the way, Xia Duo, what do you think?"
"me--"
Xia Duo looked at the orc as if he were seeing golden gold coins, "I regret not catching a few live orcs now!"
After saying this, Sami howled with regret.
"Okay, no joke, it will be our turn soon." Xia Duo reminded, and then the other three stopped talking.
The group of people entered through the south gate one by one, and then went straight to the military camp.
…
In today's military camp, the most lively place is the quartermaster's place. A large group of people block the door of the quartermaster warehouse, covering three floors inside and three floors outside.
Today is not just about handing over the heads of the orcs, but also counting all past military exploits and issuing rewards. This is too easy to argue with.
Xia Duo even saw more than one scene where team members started fighting directly, because after today, all adventurers and farmers who were temporarily recruited will have to be released. Even if they want to continue to join the territorial army, they will need to find other ways.
"Master Xia Duo, Master Xia Duo, let's see how I performed on this mission? Mr. Xia Duo is so wise that he will definitely not forget my mustache."
When the adventurer-turned-mustache saw this, he immediately came over and flattered him.
Although there were fewer people around Gibb, there were still several people surrounding him, and Team Dean, himself and Captain Uk were also surrounded by people.
And Xia Duo had just learned that the battle merit was decided jointly by the team mage and the captain. Faced with the flattery of Mustache and others, Xia Duo felt emotional.
Although they obeyed orders during the mission, they were still relatively indifferent to apprentices such as Xia Duo. After all, apprentices were just apprentices. After the mission, who would recognize whom?
but now--
"Don't worry, everyone's normal performance is in the eyes of everyone. You should also know how much combat merit you deserve. There is no need to look for me or Captain Gibb."
Some people walked away sarcastically, but their mustaches were still like dog-skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off. Not to mention, it felt quite comfortable to hear others praise themselves.
Although Xia Duo refused, he was actually quite happy with it.
…
Soon, there were fewer and fewer people in front. When it was time for Shao Duo, he and Dean handed over the Tower of Time badges. The secret marks on the back were their images. If you look carefully, you can even see tiny marks. The number "12".
The quartermaster first checked the badge carefully and made a surprised sound, "Hey - you are the team in charge of Area 12?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." The quartermaster looked at Xia Duo and others curiously, and then said, "Area 12, 600 combat merits, and Xia Duo has an additional 200 combat merits."
Now even Xia Duo knew what the problem was. There had never been any one with any extra personal merit among so many people before. He immediately thought of the mysterious mage who was killed by him.
Apparently someone regarded killing the mysterious mage as a military achievement, and it was also considered as a personal achievement.
The people nearby who heard the quartermaster's report of military exploits suddenly became interested and asked Xia Duo's team about the situation. Mustache immediately stood up and started bragging——
"We encountered an evil mage during the mission. He had a ferocious face and exuded an evil aura that was almost suffocating. Fortunately, Mage Xia Duo from our team used a clever trick to end the opponent, otherwise we would not be able to come back!"
As he spoke, the mustache showed a fearful expression, which was very exaggerated.
At this time, someone next to me asked, "What is the evil smell you are talking about?"
"This -" Xiao Xiu touched his chin, pointed directly at the boots of the questioner, and said, "If you don't take off your boots for a month, they smell evil!"
Hahaha--
Everyone burst out laughing!
Xia Duo has a black streak, but such "evil" is indeed quite evil.
"Area 12, what to do with your military exploits."
"Six of them will count their merits, and all the others will be exchanged for gold coins."
Then Xia Duo reported the names of Jibu, Wu Ke and other people who were originally territorial soldiers who had calculated military exploits, and distributed their respective military exploits. As for other military exploits, they were exchanged for 780 gold coins.
After the inventory was complete, he came to another military officer and handed over the orc head and a wolf tooth amulet, which were exchanged for more than two hundred gold coins.
As for the other two magic items, they belong to Sha Duo. For this reason, he needs to subsidize some gold coins to other apprentices and Ava.
…
In the previous camp, Xia Duo gathered everyone and started distributing gold coins, "Gibb, Uk, the six of you will keep your military exploits, but you will not divide the gold coins for your military exploits."
“The following is the distribution of all gold coins——
"Dean, 110 gold coins.
"Gibb, 3 pieces.
"Mustache, 20 pieces.
"Old lock, 18 pieces.
…
Yidim, 15 pieces. "
