Creating a Different World - Chapter 2488

[Chapter 2488 Griggan Soup]

Mashi had a cabin of her own, and the other men, including Zion, Ladin, Heiman, and two little boys, lived in the two cabins on the left; Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah lived in the cabin on the right.

Although they lived in a crowded place and the conditions were poor, everyone still gave the best to Mashi.

She had the largest cabin to herself, a separate big bed, better wooden furniture than others, and more beautiful and fitting clothes than Ashley and the others.

In the minds of these people, Mashi was still the most honorable princess.

After confirming that the “princess” was fine, everyone felt relieved.

I was really scared just now, fearing that something would happen to the princess, and if that happened, I would not be able to explain to the late emperor.

“Princess, it’s time to eat!” After being relieved, everyone felt hungry and sat around the dining table in the hall. Sarah brought a large pot of food of unknown origin and placed it on the table, and first served a large bowl to the “princess”. “

What is this?” Jia Zhengjin stared at the black and sticky liquid in the bowl. It looked like porridge but not porridge, and it didn’t look like soup. Although there were some grass leaves floating around, it was completely unrecognizable. Moreover, there was an unpleasant smell in the nose.

[Burnt Griggan Soup] It tasted disgusting, but at least it was filling.

The introduction in front of him made Jia Zhengjin’s mouth twitch.

“Your Highness, this is your favorite Griggan soup!” Zion said, “According to convention, you eat first, and we share the rest.”

“We still have to share this?” Jia Zhengjin frowned, thinking, are you refugees?

Okay! In a sense, you can be considered refugees!

“I’m sorry, Your Highness!” Zion saw that she was angry and responded in panic, “The old minister is useless, and this year’s harvest is good.”

“Princess, please forgive me!!” Everyone at the table bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.

“I’m not blaming you!” Jia Zhengjin saw this, and these people were at least loyal to this Princess Mashi. I don’t know how Princess Mashi used to eat such disgusting food. Jia Zhengjin was used to eating good things and couldn’t swallow it.

“Princess, please be patient!” Zion sighed, “Tomorrow I will sell horses in the town and exchange the oldest Aklu for silver coins. I will buy you some cakes to satisfy your cravings.”

Hearing the word cake, everyone present couldn’t help swallowing their saliva.

Jia Zhengjin glanced at everyone on the scene with a hungry look on his face, thinking that it was not easy! He

shook his head at the moment: “No need to sell horses!”

“Princess, I know you are sympathetic to everyone.” Zion said, “We are useless and cannot let you have food and clothing. We are unworthy of the trust of the late emperor. Don’t worry, we will definitely try our best to make money so that you can eat better food and wear better clothes. Just make do with it today.”

“Princess!” Heiman stood up, “How about I go to Dawn City to register as a mercenary tomorrow to see if I can take on tasks and make money.” “Be

a mercenary?!” Hearing this, everyone’s face was a little bad. After all, in this world, the mortality rate of mercenaries is as high as 80%. Except for some particularly powerful beings, most mercenaries will die on the way to the mission.

Of course, the high mortality rate means high income! If the mission can be successfully completed, it will earn much more than working hard on farming or hunting.

However, Heiman is a very important existence among the three adult laborers. If he dies in the mercenary mission, it will be a fatal blow to this small team.

Otherwise, everyone would not be so scared after hearing it.

It’s really pitiful!

Jia Zhengjin looked at the hopeless eyes of the people in front of him and couldn’t help sighing: “Heiman!”

“Here!” Heiman stood up quickly, after all, it was the princess who called him.

“Are there any requirements for being a mercenary?” Jia Zhengjin asked.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why the “princess” asked this.

“Report to Her Royal Highness!” Heiman replied immediately, “Civilians like us need to complete a series of force tests, and must pass all of them before they can register as mercenaries. If you are a professional, as long as you show some of your abilities, you can get a rating and successfully register as a mercenary.”

“Professional?” Jia Zhengjin asked immediately, “Then can a magician like me who only knows fireballs pass the rating?”

As soon as this was said, everyone was shocked.

“Princess, what do you mean?” Zion was a little anxious, “We will definitely make money. We can’t let you do such a dangerous job with your noble status! Please think twice!”

“Princess, please think twice!!” More than a dozen people stood up and knelt down and shouted loudly.

Jia Zhengjin was shocked: “Get up, get up!”

“Princess, please think twice!” Zion shouted again.

“Princess, please think twice!!” Everyone shouted again.

“Okay, okay, I won’t ask!” Jia Zhengjin waved his hand quickly, “I won’t ask, okay? Sit down!”

“Thank you, Princess!” Zion’s face looked better.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in their seats one after another.

“Princess,” Heiman said loudly after sitting down, “I can be a mercenary. Even if something happens, there will be someone at home to take care of you!”

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions were quite sad.

In their minds, being a mercenary basically means death.

Heiman was obviously mentally prepared, probably thinking that he had to make more money to improve his living conditions.

They are all loyal subjects! That little girl is quite lucky.

Jia Zhengjin said in his heart.

Speaking of which, I really don’t want to eat this disgusting food. Is there any substitute?

The forest is so big, the resources must be rich, how can I starve? Thinking of this, he immediately said: “I want to go out for a walk and not eat first! You either eat first or accompany me for a walk?”

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, thinking that it’s dinner time now, we are all hungry and waiting for dinner, what do you mean?

But after all, the princess ordered, Zion glanced at the soup on the table and licked his lips: “Since the princess doesn’t want to eat for the time being, let’s wait first! Heiman!”

“Here!” Heiman stood up immediately.

“The princess wants to walk around casually, you take Ashley and the others to accompany her, remember not to go too far!”

“Yes!!”

Zion was still very worried about the princess’s safety, so he asked Heiman and Ashley to accompany her.

The others sat there, staring at the soup and swallowing their saliva.

Everyone was hungry, but the rule was that the princess had to eat first, and others could eat the leftovers.

Even if there were only a few people left, the hierarchy still needed to be observed.

Jia Zhengjin came outside and looked around.

“Princess, where do you want to go?” Heiman asked.

“Princess, how about we go to our favorite flower bed?” Ashley pointed to the back of the house.

The flower bed she was talking about was actually a place where many wild flowers grew. The scenery was pretty good. Mashi would usually take them there to pick flowers.
