Chapter-22: sign in all the way in the capital with many skills and items
At the market she got a skill related to haggling which would give her profit in business. At a martial arts dojo that they passed by she got a skill to use a spear and archery. Similarly at another place she got another skill.
At black smithy she received a skill related to the blueprints of a gun. She knows how to make black gun powder and she can use it is make guns and cannons. She will be terrifyingly mighty with all these things in her hand.
At a hotel she got the skills related to a chef and she can cook food much more delicious than others and another place she got a skill or information related to become a doctor that can let her make and use medicine and treat illnesses.
She can get so much here only because she is in the capital where talents are concentrated. If not how can she get so many skill at such close range and most of them reached master level quickly with the accumulation of few places combined.
There are more than one dojo, market, hospital and other places. The prisoners are paraded all over the capital city before taking them out of the capital city towards the south gate naturally she accumulated signing in all these places to gain mastery level skills.
Now she needs to stand up to gain support and power to start the play to make money and win over the people to work for her. Once that happens she will be able to establish her own power and gain the firm foot hold at the border area.
While crossing many streets the group of prisoners finally reached outside the gates of the capital city of the Greatway kingdom. At this place the prisoners are changed hands from the prison guards to the escort officials and escort guards that would take them to their exile destination.
Outside the city, a group of prisoners in shackles stood on the roadside, looking back at the capital with sad and confused expressions. Being exiled to Varna, thousands of miles away, will I be able to come back in my lifetime?
Dying in a foreign land, unable to return home, is the final outcome for many exiled criminals. Will they be one of them? In contrast, women and men under the age of ten did not have to wear shackles and their lives were not as hard.
Wendy Lark and her daughter were the only ones from the second branch of the Lark family who were not wearing shackles. Wendy Lark was wearing a smaller set of men's clothes, which was altered from her Brother Jerry's clothes.
She had her hair tied in a neat ponytail, and it was difficult to tell whether she was an androgynous person. She also asked Mary to sew a bag with the cut cloth, and put the clothes and boxes in it.
This was the entire luggage for the second room has. It's pitifully small, but its good compared to others. The others were truly penniless and had no money, and they didn't know how they were going to survive the difficult road of exile.
Many people died on the road to exile. It can be said that it was a life-and-death journey. Even in exile, few people could survive safely. She looked around. In addition to the Lark family, there was also the family of Foster Yager, the former head of the Ministry of War.
There were more than 300 people in total. As for the servants, they were all sold and no one knew where they ended up. There were thirty officers in charge of the escort. They had five carriages and several horses, and were scattered around the prisoners.
The leading official was named Jeff. He was tall and strong, with a strong and sturdy demeanor. He rode on his horse in a majestic manner, staring at the prisoners. Wendy Lark kept collecting information and analyzing it quickly.
Suddenly, I heard the joyful voice of Aunt Six Jane from the side branch. It was her family members coming. Not only did they come, they also brought clothes and dry food, which made Aunt Jane's family very happy.
This set a good example, and other people's relatives and friends came to see them off. Only the main branch of the Lark family didn't make any movement. Everyone was eagerly waiting, looking around, extremely anxious.
Wilson Lark and his wife just stayed there quietly without any expectations. Jerry Lark couldn't help but ask, "Dad, will someone come to see us off?" Wilson Lark smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, "No."
The second wife Mary hardly ever leaves the house, so she has no chance to make friends. As for relatives, no one looks up to her. "Where are my maternal grandparents?" the eldest son Tom Lark asked curiously.
He seemed to have never seen anyone from my maternal grandparents' family. Mary looked at her husband and son in chains and felt very distressed. "Why did the old lady choose me as the second daughter-in-law? It's because my family is not strong enough."
She came from a merchant family, and merchants did not have a high status. Moreover, her biological mother died early and she had no brothers from the same mother. The stepmother looked kind but had a bitter heart.
She gave birth to a son and the backyard became her world. The biological father travels all over the country, the relationship between father and daughter is weak, and there is a stepmother to cause trouble.
With a stepmother, there is a stepfather. So, even if she was harsh on her stepdaughter, no one dared to say anything. After I got married, my parents saw that they could not benefit from it and simply stopped contacting me.
The second wife Mary was chatting about family matters, while the first and third wives were so anxious that they were jumping up and down. Sander Lark watched the sun rise higher, feeling anxious and irritated.
