Hall said nothing, but silently walked to the bed, took the fool's body, dragged it all the way out of the house.
Gently closing the door, a trace of blood was left in the boudoir.
——
Castina shook her head slightly, couldn't help but let out a sigh, and stopped thinking about this matter.
Right now, I have fifteen wooden boxes, five iron boxes, and a high-quality diamond box waiting for me to open.
She pursed her lips, and with a thought, she immediately entered the system space.
...
The system space is still empty and pure white.
On the ground, there were twenty-one boxes neatly placed, ranging from wood to diamonds, neatly and quietly waiting for Castina to come and open them.
In fact, there is no need to open the box manually. The system can automatically obtain the statistics of unboxing and store it in the warehouse.
But it's a bit boring to open it like this. It's more interesting to open the boxes manually one by one.
Castina took a few steps forward and crouched down in front of a wooden box.
Looking at the box in front of her that seemed to be made of oak, Castina couldn't help but have some unrealistic fantasies in her heart.
"Hmm... Generally speaking, people who have just obtained the system have a novice gift package or something, right?"
"A bunch of artifacts will be given away with a click?"
"Then will I find some artifact from the box?"
"Or some kind of dragon egg, unicorn mount or something like that?"
"Well..."
Her burgundy slightly curly long hair fell freely, a pair of crescent-moon-like willow eyebrows stretched out, her almond-shaped fox eyes were as clear as water and azure eyes full of curiosity, her plump red lips were slightly open, and she exhaled slowly. orchid.
A pair of plump breasts rise and fall with the breathing, ready to come out.
Bai Shengsheng stretched out his plain hand and clasped it on the edge of the box. Immediately, with a little force, the lid of the box flipped up, and a burst of white light suddenly appeared!
And when the white light dimmed, Castina was a little disappointed as expected.
...
I saw a bottle of green gel-like ointment lying quietly inside the wooden box. It didn't look like anything particularly good.
Immediately, the introduction of the system came into my mind.
[Therapeutic Ointment]
[The healing medicine unique to the desert orcs can be applied to the wound to recover from less serious injuries within half an hour without leaving any scars. ]
There are orcs in this world, but Kastina has only heard of them but never seen them.
They were expelled by humans a long time ago, and now they live in the desert in the continent of Afika in the south, which is too far away.
Moreover, the orcs are nomads in the desert, doing business and robbing. Legend has it that there is a large oasis in the center of the desert as their city.
Although it is said that there is gold everywhere, no one has ever been there.
Having been in this world for so long, what Castina wants to complain about is that the local white people brag about a place that they don't know much about, and she doesn't know why.
The ointment is applied to the wounds on the waist and abdomen, and the wounds on the arms. It feels cool to the touch, which is quite comfortable.
Immediately, she held the ointment and looked down at her lower body.
Then, she shook her head quickly, feeling that she was a slut.
Fortunately, no one saw the moment when my mind suddenly went offline.
Immediately he smiled, feeling a little secretly happy that no one had noticed that he was stupid.
...
I opened several boxes one after another, and the contents inside could only be described as either good or bad.
A blue loose dress, I put it on as soon as it came out.
A saber is useless, but there are too many.
A spear is useless.
Five copper coins can buy at most two three pieces of black bread.
A bottle of ice-cold happy water made Castina's eyes light up. After taking a sip and feeling nostalgic about her hometown, she put it aside.
A bottle of low-level holy water. This holy water is not that holy water. It is the kind of holy water that has been blessed by the imperial priests and can heal wounds when drunk. It is a widely spread healing product in the empire, and its curative effect is worse than that of orc ointment.
...
For the first few, I had pretty good luck. There weren't any good things, but they were all usable.
But then, everything that comes out is garbage.
Dirt, sawdust, rags, wine glasses with bottoms exposed, and even human feces!
Castina quickly closed the box containing the membership-only dishes and asked the system to destroy it quickly, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, I opened the next box and found it was empty, but the system made a prompt sound...
[Congratulations on triggering the system easter egg, five copper coins will be deducted! ]
Castina couldn't help but be stunned. Shouldn't the easter egg be something for me? Why the hell are you deducting money!
She was stunned for a moment, then reached out and opened the second easter egg.
[Congratulations on triggering the system easter egg, twenty copper coins will be deducted! ]
[Since you do not have copper coins or other currencies, the system will automatically draw blood for deduction! ]
Immediately afterwards, Castina suddenly felt a sense of weakness coming over her, her vision went dark for a moment, and she almost fell to the ground.
Castina looked at the system panel aside and was going crazy.
What is the Gou Ba system? Just draw blood if you don't have money!
This fucking system was produced in Myawaddy Park in Myanmar, right?
The loss is twenty copper coins. If it were twenty gold coins, I would have to give up my own waist!
Castina couldn't help but sigh, quickly left the system space, took the money, and came back again.
...
Fortunately, after taking the money and coming back, my luck seemed to improve.
The rest of the wooden boxes yielded arrows, which were considered practical. The five iron boxes yielded really good items.
Red crystal stone can improve physical fitness and can be used once a month. If the frequency is too fast, there is a risk of death.
Blue crystal stone, improves mana perception, can be used once a month, and there is a risk of death if the frequency is too fast.
Swordsmanship manual for new recruits of the Imperial Court Army, automatically learned.
Spring-hand crossbow, two bursts, limited power, no actual crossbow loss required, automatic reloading, reloading time is 1 minute.
Fifty imperial gold coins.
The red and blue crystal stone, Castina immediately stuffed it into her mouth after taking it out.
Immediately afterwards, I felt that my mind was particularly cool, and I vaguely felt that I could sense more things than before.
On the one hand, I felt that my body had never felt more relaxed and relieved, and I felt drowsy and comfortable. After the comfort subsided, I clenched my fist again and felt that my strength was much stronger than before.
Castina was naturally very happy.
Although I did not suddenly rise to the physical level of a veteran with huge muscles and fighting spirit like Guard Captain Brian. But now I am at least the physical level of an adult man.
Plus the extra swordsmanship moves in my mind. If you are one-on-one with an ordinary enemy, you can be considered capable of fighting.
Moreover, there is also a magical thing like a spring-hand crossbow, just in case you need it.
Castina looked at the opened iron boxes and was filled with admiration in her heart.
——
The items in the iron box were all so good. In an instant, I suddenly had basic fighting power from a weak woman.
How good is the diamond box?
Castina looked at the crystal clear diamond box. The entire box was made of diamonds and shimmered brightly. It was really eye-catching.
Immediately, he hurriedly held the crossbow and gold coins, and eagerly went to open the diamond box.
Immediately afterwards, the box opened with a click, and a burst of white light appeared.
After the white light faded, Castina couldn't help but be startled.
I saw a piece of paper lying quietly in the large crystal clear diamond box.
For a moment, Castina felt that the loss could not be increased.
But after watching the system automatically explain what the paper was, Castina's mood relaxed a little.
...
[Soldier Contract]
[Source world: Medieval Warhammer]
[Description: The Provincial Guard Company of the Sigma Empire, a small team of fifty, consisting of twenty spearmen, ten sword and shield soldiers, and ten crossbowmen. ]
[How to join: Pay gold coins and appear immediately. ]
[Contract amount: fifty gold coins. ]
[Contract term: exists indefinitely. ]
Castina looked at the soldier's contract, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her teeth biting her red lips, and she was thinking secretly in her heart.
In fact, at the beginning, my plan was to use the money left by the old housekeeper to hire mercenaries to fight in the Free Trade Territory of Ned in the north.
But the loyalty of mercenaries can be said to be basically zero. They need their own troops to hold the battle in check so that the other side can fight honestly and not be distracted.
But the only troops in the headquarters are the guard captain and a few elite guards, which is still not stable enough.
But now this soldier contract has relieved Castina of her worries and troubles.
With fifty system soldiers who are loyal to him, plus the captain of the guard, the total number of troops in the headquarters is about sixty, which is enough to control four to five hundred mercenaries!
This battle to defend the village from scratch has finally begun to take shape.
Castina held the soldier contract and breathed a sigh of relief, her doubts finally resolved.
But she did not choose to summon immediately.
Instead, he exited the system space first, went downstairs, and told Hall that he was going north to recruit mercenaries.
——
Castina came to the first floor and saw that Hall had also joined in the torture of the two captured gangsters.
Compared to the guards who only know how to punch and kick, Hall is obviously better at torture.
The two gangsters who were originally full of loyalty and swore not to betray their brothers were forced to have their teeth opened.
In a physical sense.
Under Hall's order, the guards opened his mouth and held him down on the stairs, then stomped on his head. When he stepped down, his teeth flew out and blood dripped everywhere.
When the other one saw this, how dare he talk about brotherly loyalty? He said everything that should be said and should not be said.
...
Castina leaned against the wall with her arms folded, looking at the gangster who was toothless and vomiting blood and was in a daze, her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she watched.
Immediately, another gangster who was so frightened that tears came out explained the situation.
"I said it, I said it! Don't touch me, don't touch me! Please!"
"I..."
"The one you shot and injured is the only son of the big boss. The big boss loves him the most. This time he came out secretly to perform meritorious service and show off in front of his father. Who knew the result."
"It's all Dreyfus. He told the young leader that there is a rich man in your village, so we came!"
"We are stationed in Meyer City. There are about... about six hundred people!"
"Well...the big boss and the two bosses were at odds with each other. They took action before. The anger was eventually calmed down by the big boss, but I think this matter will never be over."
"Ah, yes!"
"They will never come to seek revenge in a short period of time!"
"After the young leader returns this time, the second leader will definitely use the topic to his advantage, and he will definitely get angry and fight among himself!"
"I have told you everything I know, please forgive me!"
The gangster knelt down and begged with tears streaming down his face, and the other one who had no teeth was also crying incomprehensibly.
Castina shook her head slightly, still leaning against the wall with her arms folded.
That face, which was originally charming, now looked very oppressive.
She waved her hand casually and said casually...
"I'll let the people vent their anger later and let the people take action. Whether to cut him in half or chop him alive, we'll listen to the people's opinions."
"Pull out."
The two guards each responded, and immediately tied up the two men again and dragged them out.
...
After hearing about the horse thief, Tina felt more relieved.
Immediately, she told Hall her thoughts. After hearing this, Hall naturally nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Hall said to Castina...
"All I have to do is calm the people's emotions."
"I will stay to appease the people, organize manpower to repair the town wall, and dig horse trenches."
"Tina, without further ado, go to Ned immediately to recruit mercenaries."
"Although the internal strife among the horse thieves will delay some time, changes will inevitably happen. The sooner we bring our troops back, the safer it will be!"
"Don't you have storage space in your system? You can bring all the gold coins and goods left by the old butler."
After hearing this, Castina nodded slightly in response, then patted Hall on the shoulder and said...
"Then, these people in the village will trouble you, father."
Hall smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched Castina's nose, shook his head slightly and laughed.
"You girl, are you being polite to me? Now that you've become a marquis, you're going to disown your father, right?"
"Hehehe..."
"Okay, I've got this all covered, don't worry!"
"Be careful on the road, go early and come back early!"
Castina also smiled, nodded repeatedly, and hurried out of the room.
