In the hotel, Castina's room was filled with steam, and the doors and windows were closed.
The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving not a single gap.
The door to the room was locked tightly, and a chair nearby was even used to block it.
In the middle of the room, a large bucket was filled with steaming bath water. The fragrant water was embellished with a few small petals.
Castina soaked in it, feeling relaxed physically and mentally.
...
Her burgundy hair was tied into a bun and tied behind her head to avoid accidentally getting wet.
A beautiful face, which is already charming and alluring. The look of relief and enjoyment on her face at this moment is even more sultry.
A sultry blush appeared on her fair and smooth face, and tiny droplets of fragrant sweat appeared on it, as alluring as a ripe and juicy peach.
A pair of crescent-moon-like willow eyebrows wrinkled slightly, a pair of charming and beautiful eyes closed in relief, closing their eyes to enjoy the relief and relaxation at this moment.
On the delicate nose, a fine layer of fragrant sweat covered it, the crystal water droplets shone slightly, the plump red lips were slightly opened, the teeth were exposed, and they couldn't help but let out some sultry pouts.
The ecstasy bursts out along with the orchid hot air, and the light white air drifts away along with the water vapor.
Her big and delicate body is hidden under the water, with only her fragrant shoulders and pink neck exposed.
The fair and tender skin is moisturized by water, shining brightly in the candlelight, making it crystal smooth and tender.
Castina moved slightly, barely straightening her waist, and a pair of plump things on her chest also surfaced.
The bust size is like that of a mature wife, but it is the color of an untouched virgin. It seems that the contrast between plump and inexperienced is the most exciting.
Her body swayed slightly, and her plump breasts trembled with the waves, causing ripples in the water. The warm fragrance of soft jade made people fascinated.
...
Immediately, Castina's body shrank back into the water.
In the water, his hands slowly moved up along his waist, rubbing his skin.
Feeling the feeling of her palms rubbing against her skin, an indescribable feeling spread into her heart, causing Castina to frown slightly, and her originally relieved sigh became a little confused for a while.
"Um...well..."
One hand instinctively points upward, and the other hand instinctively points downward.
But after a pause, he still removed his hand, stretched his hand out of the bath water, and rested it on the edge of the barrel.
Her head was also resting on the edge of the barrel, her beautiful eyes looking at the roof of the room, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"This body...is a little too hungry?"
"Whenever I touch my waist with my own hands, I just think about that."
"What a shame, what a shame!"
Castina frowned for a moment, her charming eyes full of annoyance, she put her hand on her forehead and muttered to herself.
"It always feels awkward when I start charging. It's too feminine and awkward."
"But if you don't rush, then..."
"It's so annoying..."
"You can't just cut up the Happy Bean and treat it permanently, right?"
Castina shook her head and chose to climb out of the barrel.
Stop soaking. My whole body is feeling warm. The more I soak, the more I think about that...
——
Climbed out of the barrel, wiped myself clean, and got dressed.
Immediately, Castina secretly said in her heart, "Enter the system space"...
Immediately afterwards, Castina appeared in the pure white system space.
In the huge blank space, an iron box lying quietly on the ground stood out.
A few steps forward, Castina opened the box. When she saw the books placed in the box, she couldn't help but smile.
[Introduction Guide to Wind Attribute Magic]
[Items that are not to be inserted into the body and can only be used in normal ways]
[The recorded magic ranges from entry-level to proficient level, with a total of fifteen magic spells...]
Holding the magic book, Kastina returned to reality from the system space.
Immediately he sat on a chair in the room and started flipping through the pages.
...
Turning directly to the end of the page, starting with the most powerful magic, Castina stared at it with envy.
The Gust Wind Technique is a weakened version of the Hurricane Technique. When used with full force, it can even uproot trees and blow hundreds of people into the sky.
The large-scale wind blade technique condenses strong wind into a blade, which is enough to tear through stubborn rocks.
The Wind Hammer Technique condenses the wind into a heavy hammer and blasts it out like a stone cannon, just like Doraemon's air cannon.
Castina nodded slightly, then started looking over again to see what spells she could use.
There is only one primary magic, and that is the most common wind blade technique.
As the name suggests, Wind Blade Technique condenses the wind into a blade, which can cause good damage to unarmored enemies, but is powerless against those wearing armor.
...
After a whole night of hard work, Kastina finally succeeded in activating the wind element.
Condensing his hand, he pushed out with a palm, aiming at the cup in front of him.
I saw a sudden gust of wind, and the cup was blown backwards.
The result is obviously not very successful.
But Castina still feels quite satisfied. Learning magic can never be successful immediately. She is not a magic genius. If she can make something happen in one night, it is considered good.
After putting away the spell book, I took off my clothes and slept with the lamp on.
——
Early the next morning, Castina randomly stuffed a piece of bread into the store and hurried out of the hotel, riding out of the city.
Today is the time to hire mercenaries to return to Anson.
However, before hiring mercenaries, you should summon the fifty medieval warhammer soldiers in the contract.
Naturally, it is impossible for summons to transform people into living people in the city. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will be reported to the Holy See, and I will be burned as if I am possessed by a demon.
All the way out of the city, I found a secluded forest, dismounted and tied the reins.
...
After paying fifty gold coins, the contract in Kastina's hand turned into a white light and suddenly flew out.
Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers with bright armor came from not far away from the forest.
The leader is the spearman.
Wearing a bright iron helmet with a guard on the head, and a forged mirrored Renaissance breastplate on the chest, the battle uniforms worn inside are red and white trousers, with spears like a forest, and they come in an orderly queue.
Next are the sword and shield soldiers. Compared with the spearmen, they are responsible for fighting the enemy and taking injuries. They have extra shoulder armor on their shoulders and an extra skirt on their thighs. They have a sword in one hand and an iron shield in the other. .
Behind them are the crossbowmen, also unarmored troops.
Each wears a brimmed hat, decorated with white feathers. The clothes on his body are a combination of white shirt, trousers, boots and leather vest. They are light and flexible. Each holds a heavy crossbow in his hand, carrying several bags of crossbows, and A short sword for self-defense.
There are fifty people in a team, and the formation is neat and uniform. At a glance, they look like an elite team.
The medieval Warhammer world was a cruel world where mortals fought against demons. Mortal infantry like them were the lowest form of cannon fodder.
But in the world where Kastina lives, this kind of uniform and well-organized troops are elite, at least within the empire.
Castina approached the troops and knocked on the breastplate of a soldier. It was quite thick and weighed at least twenty or thirty pounds. It must have good defense.
Seeing her face reflected in the breastplate, which was like a magic mirror stretching her face as long as a donkey, she nodded slightly and looked at the entire army, quite satisfied.
These more than fifty elites can at least control three to four hundred mercenaries to fight for them honestly.
Looking at the fifty medieval warhammer Sigma Empire provincial infantry regiments, Kastina looked at them horizontally and vertically, and she was satisfied no matter how she looked at them.
...
These fifty-odd people have standard imperial looks, and the styles of their armor, clothes, and weapons are also in line with this world. It can be said that they are perfect.
But soon Castina thought of a question.
What should I do if I issue a soldier contract in the future that is not very consistent with the imperial style?
If I open a Taiping cavalry in the future, a group of strong Guiliu men wearing red turbans, shawl hair, and holding swords with thick eyebrows and big eyes, shouting that Jesus has a buddy named Hong Xiuquan, how should I arrange it?
Kastina shook her head slightly. It was not the time to think about this now. She would go back to the city to hire mercenaries first, and we would talk about the rest later.
Immediately, Castina mounted her horse, and behind her, fifty soldiers with neat appearance and bright armor followed in formation. Along the way, they attracted frequent glances from the people.
——
After returning to the city, Castina first went back to the hotel and tied up her horse.
It was difficult to find a mercenary middleman by walking around the streets alone, so I simply sat in the hotel lobby drinking tea and sent local errand boys to find a mercenary middleman to negotiate.
Not long after, the mercenary middleman hurried over and greeted him with a smile.
After some haggling, Castina painfully settled on the mercenary price.
Salary plus loss plus advance pension, three hundred gold!
Three hundred and fifty people, with a shooting blade crossbow made by the French Empire!
After finalizing the price, the middleman left in a hurry to find the mercenary captain and meet with Castina at the hotel to discuss it in detail.
After a few more pots of tea, the mercenary captain came together with the middleman.
...
Castina actually quite likes people from the French Empire.
Because people in the French Empire are very encouraging.
When you are about to live in Bengbu, the French people will enthusiastically tell you "hold on" and encourage you not to lie flat.
The mercenary leader called himself Je Ang, and he was dressed like a shrewd businessman in a brimmed hat. He sat down and poured himself a cup of tea politely, and smiled at Castina...
"I heard from the intermediary, madam, are you a marquis?"
"Really?"
Castina waved her hand and said immediately...
"A down-and-out nobleman only has a name."
"There is a group of horse bandits with about 600 people in the territory. It cannot be eliminated until we get rid of it."
"If this battle goes well, well..."
"In addition to the bonus, I can also give you the title of a knight, the kind without a fiefdom."
Reang looked at Castina's face, his eyes slightly closed, and he was naturally thinking about something in his heart. He nodded slightly and laughed dryly, and then said...
"Hehehe, thank you very much, Miss Marquis."
"Uh... may I ask, how many soldiers do you have in your headquarters?"
Castina raised her eyes and glanced at Re Ang, knowing in her heart what his plan was.
Immediately she thought to herself that this man seemed extremely dishonest, so she might as well follow his thoughts and finally give him a beating to make him be honest.
Immediately, she was startled, looked at Re Ang, shook her head slightly and said...
"I... don't have any soldiers, just a few family guards."
Re Ang smiled when he heard this and thought to himself, isn't this Marquis girl just a fat sheep? Even though he has money and no soldiers, he still looks so charming!
The money will definitely be enough to scare you when the time comes, but as for the people...hehe...
He looked at Castina, took a sip of tea, and then said...
"It doesn't matter if we don't have soldiers. We have more than three hundred brothers, a fleet of French Empire military equipment, and ballistae. We will definitely be able to protect your safety. Don't worry!"
"I'm going to gather my brothers right away. When it gets dark in the afternoon, you can wait for me in the open space on the west side of the city!"
After saying that, he stood up and bowed before leaving.
...
Castina looked at the back of Reang leaving happily, and couldn't help but shook her head and smiled helplessly.
The look on this man's face just now, almost showed his wealth and wealth on his face.
I really don't know how to evaluate it.
