Chapter 23: Caravan

艾 In Eladia, businessmen are not such a respectable role, especially human businessmen. Some races even confuse some of them with liar thieves.
Businessmen in the northern countries. These people wander out for a long time. They deal with dwarfs, wolves and other races all day long. They are quite cunning and treacherous. The orcs even call them "humans with two mouths and three hands."
Two mouths are opened because they can speak, they are good at deception, and the three hands are because their hands and feet are not clean. They often do things like snatching chickens and dogs, which is almost intolerable for orcs who keep their vows and say what they must do.
Then how could they allow businessmen to come to their place?
Caesar couldn't understand it, and didn't know much about the internal affairs of the Crow Clan, so he could only hide in the dense forest on the top of the mountain and continue to look at it.
喔 "Oh, my dear Gal, you know, the last accident was not my fault. I thought you would never need me again."
The leader of the caravan looked younger than thirty years old, with a necklace engraved with a family crest on his neck. He behaved elegantly and handsomely, but his narrow gray eyes made him feel gloomy and thin like a sharp knife.
He rode on the strong black cormorant horse, and even today the weather is getting hotter, he also wears a black cardigan jacket and hard leather armor, in stark contrast with the bare-chested orc: "I didn't expect you and I would have a good-bye day, I'm really honored, my friend, don't hesitate to speak. "
"Food."
The orc-headed orc snorted and said that his name was Gar, the captain of the hunting team, and one of the clan leaders. Of course, the old leader would not show up in person, and he was solely responsible for it.
Gall looked at the humans who laughed and talked to each other behind the caravan leader, resisting the urge to twist their heads one after another, and since he was posed by these hellful businessmen last time, he never wanted to see these mouthfuls again. Damn it guy.
"There is miles for food."
The merchant's legs pinched the horse's abdomen, let go of two positions, and signaled Gal to look at the rear-loaded stallions: "But Gall, what do you want to exchange?"
"As before, fur."
The flint crow clan only has fur, and Gal turned to the right to signal that there were dozens of female orcs immediately holding out a lot of dried animal fur.
"Ha, it's hide again."
The caravan leader clapped his hands, and the oil on the nose flared brightly. "Okay, Gall, I'm a kind person. How can I refuse a friend's request? Let me think, how to give You a friendship price. "
这样 "Let ’s do this, I will lose a little, ten pounds of grain for one pound of fur." ​​The merchant's words immediately caused the orc to whisper.
"Ten pounds."
Gar murmured, "Roy, this is too little ..."
毛皮 The beast fur may be of little importance in the jungle, but the orcs also know its value to some extent. In the human world, this thing is a veritable luxury item. It is easily sought out by countless nobles.
"A lot, my friend."
Roy looked at him seriously: "It's not as good as before. Your stuff is no longer fragrant. The dry season is approaching. Even noble masters will no longer need them. I have to spend a lot of time shipping this stuff to the south to sell it. Go out. "
而且 "And--"
Speaking, Roy's face became serious, and he drove the first two steps and looked down at Garr: "Orc, do you know how expensive the food is now? The northern nations are fighting with the green, and there are 30,000 mouths waiting to the south For dinner, food is in short supply. "
"Friend, I'm a serious businessman, I won't buy and sell. If you don't want me, I can't force it. Maybe you can go to the northern countries and take a look. Maybe you can find a better buyer there. . "
Roy sneered in his heart. In addition to Roy Brando, the son of the earl, there was a branch that had the ability to travel through the wild and deal with these stupid human races.
It is even more a joke to let these orcs go to the northern countries on their own. Compared with the northern countries, the crow clan is like a bug hiding in the grass, and it will be crushed at every turn.
Roy mocked in his heart, motioned the knight behind to move forward, raised his chin: "Go and see how the goods are."
The knight dismounted, and strode to the female orc. He politely picked up a piece of beast fur from the ground and rubbed it with his hand.
"It's very rough, and it's not dried after being peeled off, and it's a little bit tied."
Knight said aloud, then raised his fur and sniffed in front of his nose, his expression was obviously disgusted: "唔 (third sound) ... It was not peeled clean, and bloody."
"look."
Roy spread his hand to Garr: "Take your goods, I have to send to the mill to process a few, and the weight of this thing is not light, one can have seven ..."
"enough."
Garr interrupted him, fearing that he could not help tearing up the person in front of him if he listened, thinking of the dwindling food in the tribe, and the black dragon they promised to guarantee the supply ~ EbookFREE.me ~ his voice almost Squeeze out between the teeth: "We changed!"
Uh ...
"Oh, I'm so angry."
On the top of Laoshan, Luna lay beside Caesar's ears, her fists clenched tightly: "Don't you say they are not orcs? Why didn't they just grab these humans?"
"grab?"
Caesar's eyes lingered on those high-level knights wearing steel armor, and smiled: "Did you ever grab? The opponent is not a guy who can't fight back."
Not to mention that there is a priest in this team. Just looking at the breath and blood of these people, we know that these people may be businessmen today, and tomorrow they will become robbers and mercenaries who kill and not blink. This is probably the case for regulated Eladia.
"Also with you?" Luna asked.
"Maybe."
Caesar nodded and shook his head: "But the caravan leader may be an underweight aristocrat. Even if the robbers succeed, the Stone Crow clan will face the endless human crusade."
He stared at the string of necklaces hanging on Roy's neck. Although he could not figure out the meaning of the carved pattern on the necklace, it was obvious that the string was very expensive and the materials were quite expensive.
Even if a businessman has such a treasure, he will never hang it around his neck and display it.
"Without brazen power, you must accept the constraints of rules."
Wu Kaizai sighed, but only looked at the actions of the orcs, still surprised: "What I don't understand is that they have been oppressed to this extent, why do they insist on exchanging food for humans?"
"Don't you know?"
Lu Luna looked at him in surprise, a look of "I don't believe it": "Because of you!"
