[The toothache is not cured, I wrote it slowly, and I updated it a little late. It was still the update from yesterday]

"What did you do to walnuts?" Salin did not make any noise about the paper puppet. He first asked Neris in the room. There were only two magicians in the entire hotel, and Salin did not need to analyze where the paper puppet came from.

Although Walnut was jealous of him, he promised him to recommend the teacher. He should have allowed Walnut to complete the task with peace of mind, and shouldn't have suddenly attacked him.

"I did nothing." Neris looked innocent and very seductive. Salin saw her hiding her hand behind her, and inexplicably thought of her tail. Demons like to seduce humans the most!

"Nelise, walnut is just my potential enemy, and I may not meet again after I can. I don't know how you did it, but if you arouse the conflict, it is equivalent to causing me trouble." Salin's tone became gentle, and he had no problem with punishing Nelise for walnuts.

"Master, I just want to do this, no reason..." Seeing Salin changing his attitude, Neris said something in her heart for some reason. She was secretly surprised. Could it be because of the soul contract? Oops, the impact of this contract on her is getting deeper and deeper...

instinct?

Salin frowned and remembered a noun about biology in a magic note.

"Master, this magician is very dangerous. He has the aura of a demon."

"He is a demon!" Salin was shocked. Demons should not exist on the Meles continent.

"No, no, I mean, he looks like a demon." Neris recalled carefully, not knowing how to describe the man Walnut.

"Forget it, you are not allowed to make your own decisions in the future. This is the last time. Do you understand?"

"I know." Nelise lowered her head and felt a little happy. The master did not punish herself. Well, next time, don't let the master know what she does.

Before Salin could fall asleep, the hotel became noisy outside and a team of soldiers surrounded the hotel.

Although there were no witnesses when Walnut killed people, the soldiers on the border were very familiar with the adventurer's skills and could quickly tell that their companions were killed by magicians. There were few magicians in the town now, and these soldiers easily searched the hotel.

Franmine found that Walnut was missing, and she couldn't say anything in her heart. This magician helped him when he was in the poorest, but unexpectedly caused him such a big trouble.

He calmly negotiated with the soldiers. When the soldiers saw his level 5 mercenary badge, they did not dare to catch people. The fifth mercenary, the barons in the town must also be careful to deal with it. Because many high-level mercenary groups were actually supported by great nobles, the empire did not allow the nobles to raise too many private soldiers, and the number was controlled extremely strictly, so the mercenaries became the targets of the nobles.

This town is owned by a baron. Although it is on the border and is close to the chaotic swamp, such murders rarely occur. Mercenaries or adventurers who come here will not cause trouble, and the thieves will not target such small places. The baron relies on adventurers' taxes to make money, and both sides have been getting along happily.

Franmingo went to see the Baron in person helplessly. The Baron was very unhappy, but he did not explode immediately. He died two soldiers and the pension required at least 20 gold coins. However, the other party was a level five mercenary, and he really turned against him and was going to suffer a loss.

Franmingo was also afraid that the Baron would complain to the Professional Union. In that case, his mercenary group would have at least one major bad record, not only to drop to level 4, but also to compensate a lot of gold coins.

The two sides finally reached an agreement that the pension will be paid by the Nut Mercenary Group. At the same time, the Nut Mercenary Group will pay for the wanted magician walnuts. If the magician does not die for a day, the Nut Mercenary Group will have to pay a reward fee for one day.

Franmingo still didn't understand why walnuts were so useless. Salin saw it, and when Franmingo returned to the hotel, he called Franmingo to his room and showed Franmingo the hole in the wall.

Under Salin's control, the ice cone shot into only half of the wall, leaving a small hole deep in fingers. Salin stuffed the hole with the curtain, wiped it, and pulled it out. There was a hint of dark red color on the curtain.

"What is this?" Franmingo couldn't understand.

"The mixture of red sand and dragon blood ink, the basic material for creating puppets. Walnuts should have simple puppet magic. A paper puppet just wanted to enter my room..."

Salin didn't continue to say it, and Franmingo understood it. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked, "Master Salin, such a bad thing happened, why don't you tell me?"

If Salin told Franmingo about this, Franmingo would probably immediately summon others to catch the walnuts and rectify the Dharma on the spot. Now, the walnuts ran away and left a stain on the Nut Mercenary Group.

"I originally thought about this and didn't want to do anything to him. Everyone will make mistakes. As a magician, I should understand the fragility of others." Salin spoke extremely sincerely, not like a magician, but more like a preacher in the Holy See.

Seeing Franmine gritting his teeth, Salin comforted him and said, "You don't have to mind, I trust you. I won't mention this to the union."

Franmine breathed a sigh of relief. If Salin told the union about this, his brand would be completely ruined. Once a mercenary industry loses its credibility, it will be difficult for him to develop in the future.

This industry cannot make mistakes. Many mercenaries completely ruin their future because of a momentary impulse and can only be thieves.

"Master Salin, thank you, regarding the compensation issue..."

"You are joking, but I have nothing to lose. Our contract is still valid. If you send the four of us to Kron County, I will pay two gold mica. Don't forget to ask me 500 gold coins." Salin joked kindly, and Franmine felt much better.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the Nut Mercenary Group first went to the Professional Union to issue a wanted mission, kicked the walnut out of the Mercenary Group, and then set off with Salin and others.

Each of the Nut Mercenaries also had two horses, which were much better than the Hetao horse purchased by Aini. The mercenary named Javelin took the lead and acted as a scout. The remaining mercenaries protected Aini, Salin and others in the middle, gradually let go of the horses and left the town.

-

When Salin left, he hurriedly turned around and looked at Qin Yin's words on the gate of the town - Shenlin Town.

The Nut Mercenary Group has rich experience and has always kept the horses at a stable speed and consumed the least amount of physical strength. The four mercenaries responsible for protecting Aini observed Aini's reaction from time to time. The young man's sickness was all on his face. The Nut Mercenary Group could not exhaust his employer to death in a hurry.

Salin's horsemanship is average, and Shika is the best. After comforting her a few times, the horses under her crotch immediately became extremely obedient and commanded them. This is the advantage of the Caucasians. They don't even need any contract to ride ordinary monsters, let alone ordinary horses.

Nelis was in the worst condition. The horse she was riding was extremely irritable, as if she had seen through her identity. Fortunately, she was very powerful, even much bigger than the horse. She kicked the horse a few hard, and the horse finally became honest.

Because the speed is not fast, Salin still has free time to enjoy the scenery on the roadside.

The scenery of the Principal of Phoenix is ​​already very different from that of Skochenya. The land here is fertile and there are a large number of plains suitable for planting. Although it is on the border, there are a large number of villages along the way. The official roads are well repaired, and farmlands are often on the roadside. It is already late autumn, and the wheat is almost cut, and many fields are drying the harvested crops.

In contrast, Skochenya's land is a little barren. No wonder the Skochenya people are best at doing business. Salin remembers that there are few villages near Ceylon City, and they have caught up with natural disasters and the nobles have not even achieved much harvest.

What made Salin feel interesting was that there were many scarecrows in the rice fields. When the wind blew, the rough linen cloth on the scarecrow was swaying in the wind, alarming many birds who were stealing crops.

However, there is a kind of bird that cannot be scared away, that is, the silver-billed raven. This kind of bird is very smart and easily sees out the human tricks. Flocks of silver-billed ravens fall on the scarecrows, as if mocking the stupidity of human beings.

However, Silver-mouthed Raven likes to eat meat this season, and the farmers will not suffer too much damage.

Ga!

A silver-mouthed raven stood on the scarecrow's hat, looking curiously at the team that was riding from a distance. When passing by the field, Neris turned her head and showed her teeth to the raven.

A trace of fear flashed through Silver-mouthed Raven's dark eyes. He spread his wings and wanted to fly, but he could not flap.

The Nut Mercenary Group's team was gone, and the raven was still struggling in fear. The scarecrow under its feet suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the unlucky raven, and stuffed it into his mouth with force.

Blood flowed down the scarecrow's face, and the raven's dying screams came out for several miles, alarming more silver-mouthed ravens.

Blood flowed down, and the scarecrow's facial features became clearer. It turned around and looked at the mercenary team that was leaving. In the nearby farmland, more scarecrows came alive and looked east.

The wind blew over the ridge of the field, and the scarecrow's clothes roared. I don't know how long it took, but the scarecrow who first ate the raven jumped up and jumped away from the farmland.

"Master, I feel very uncomfortable." Nelise ran to Salin and advanced side by side. Her horse had been violently tamed and she would never dare to do anything again.

"What are you going to do..."

Salin said weakly, and he roughly knew Neris' temper. This was a very energetic little devil and could not stay idle. If she didn't let her do something, she would take the initiative to find some trouble.

"I don't know, I just feel uncomfortable." Nelise frowned and tried to get close to Salin. She was also extremely confused. After leaving the temple, she found that the humans on this plane are now very fragile and not as dangerous as the legendary ones. But the uneasiness in her heart always pops up at any time. Could it be that she is sick?

"Nelise, don't mess around." Salin urged the horse to pull the distance between him and Neise. Neise looked gloomy and quietly took out a piece of fresh meat from the bracelet and threw it into his mouth to chew.
