Mercenaries and Adventurers

six months later.

Zhao Ji has finally settled down here. In the past six months, the most important thing for him is to learn the local daily language. He wasn't extremely smart, but the local imperial lingua franca was simple and easy to learn.

In the first month, he was recuperating in the chamber of commerce of the caravan, in the building of the chamber of commerce. Zhao Ji learned to speak simple everyday language from everyone he could meet. After that, there has been great progress every month, and there is no problem with simple daily communication.

During the third month of his stay here, Jamura came to visit him on behalf of the chamber of commerce, and they talked a lot.

Zhao Ji learned that Jamla and his friends thought he was a traveler from afar in the empire, so he admitted Jamla's suspicion that he was a traveler from afar, and also admitted that they thought his name was Joe Ki The name of Er.

Of course he knew his name, he would never forget who he was and where he came from.

After that, Jamura calculated his treatment expenses and recuperation expenses in a simple and clear manner. This is difficult for him, he doesn't have a single iron coin in his pocket, and usually eats big pot meals cooked by the chamber of commerce's kitchen.

The ointment used to treat the wound is a rare ointment formulated by Jamura himself, which has the effect of relieving pain and accelerating wound healing. Usually he also treats people, and according to the price calculation, it is calculated as the silver coins of Zhao Ji's two kingdoms. Rehabilitation in the caravan for three months, four copper coins per day for food and accommodation, the three months of healing is the summer moon, and the month of the month is 20 days, a total of sixty days, a total of two silver coins and four Ten copper coins.

In this way, Zhao Ji owed Jamura and the caravan each two silver coins and two silver coins and forty copper coins.

Jamura said that his share can be owed first, after all, he took the initiative to rescue Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji is also a young and healthy guy who can work, and he doesn't have to worry about not paying this little money. He mainly wanted to make friends with Zhao Ji and listen to Zhao Ji, a traveler from afar, tell stories about him. Jamura had never left the kingdom in his life, and he had never even been to the kingdom.

Of course, in exchange for credit for the treatment fee, Zhao Ji will tell him twenty stories that are not available in the local area, and the stories generally cannot be repeated.

Ah! This is too simple, Zhao Ji just told 20 stories in one afternoon, and it was not a tasteless story like plain boiled water.

Considering the local development level, Zhao Ji told 20 idiom short stories from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Since there are no concise idioms like idioms in the common language of the empire, he simply told these stories in the common language of the empire.

That afternoon, in the restaurant on the first floor of the chamber of commerce, Jamura was writing vigorously with a quill. He wanted to record word by word the stories he had never heard, and for this he quietly prayed to his gods for help.

His gods also responded to him, and at that moment he was like a god, no, it was like a god. Accurately marked every word Zhao Ji said, and even the ink that was difficult to write smoothly was printed on the newly prepared notebook by Jamura.

And in the entire restaurant, every diner relaxed their movements and made less noise. They stretched out their ears, straightened their bodies, and listened to Zhao Ji's stumbling imperial lingua franca, telling the distant stories in the distance.

For the next three months, Zhao Ji also temporarily lived in the house of the chamber of commerce. While doing part-time jobs to earn money and paying off the debts owed by the chamber of commerce, he wandered around the town, feeling like he was traveling in another world.

As for the warehouse of the chamber of commerce, it is in the basement of the chamber of commerce building, and it is guarded by special personnel every day. Zhao Ji did not go in and turn around.
