197. The value of slaves (Part 2)

The afterglow of the sunset shone on each of us's faces. A cool drizzle wiped the blue sky cleanly. At this moment, a few clouds remaining in the sky were covered with gorgeous rays, as if they dyed the white silk ribbons with golden edges. A few white birds passed by the sky. Only in such a cool evening did they dare to fly freely so unrestrainedly. On the hills in the suburbs of the city in the distance, the golden apple forests rendered the entire mountain into a touch of dark green. It was impossible to see the edge at a glance. The sea of ​​trees belongs to the real foundation of El City.

The outline of the entire El City is revealed in the twilight mist not far away. Lights have already lit up on the central mountain in the city center. The halo of the Magic Academy and the City Hall has given the mountain the endorsement of power. This is a city that is thriving and showing vitality. After the relationship between the Green Empire and the Orc Tribe has continued to recover in the past two years, a large amount of trade has been between Gurudin and Sloyt. The rise of this trade route will affect the economy of the entire northern part. El City happens to be in a hub area of ​​this trade route. The huge business opportunity has made El City feel a little hot.

Many citizens have already felt many benefits. The caravans passing here usually leave behind various commodities brought back from the orc tribe, including magic antelope parchment produced by the orc tribe and a large number of low-level magic herbs. However, detailed statistics show that the proportion of these goods is decreasing year by year. Among the goods brought back from the orc tribe, there are more and more commodities worth trading by human merchants, including leather, herbs, food, ores and various exquisite gems. The orcs have begun to process these materials into commodities with the characteristic style of tribe orcs, which are rapidly eroding the market of the Green Empire.

Nowadays, delicious canned lunch meat has almost become a household name. Everyone knows that the exquisite iron jars contain real and unique wild beef, which not only appear on the dining table of every family, but also become a must-have item for camping in the wild. Little do they know that the whole Pai Plateau is composed of the herds of unicorn bisons with hundreds of thousands of heads are as numerous as stars. If these unicorn bisons are not hunted in large quantities, the vegetation on the Pai Plateau will inevitably be completely destroyed by these extremely adaptable livestock. A large number of cheap canned foods are transported from the plateau and replaced with bags of silver steaks. It is really

If Bobby hadn't been led into the big food shop on the edge of the slave market today and tasted this long-lost taste, maybe I was about to forget the vermicelli. The vermicelli transported from the plateau had been divided up by the high-ranking officials of the entire Green Empire, because I have never seen anyone selling vermicelli from the Orc Tribe in the market. I originally thought that these vermicelli were not well promoted and were not loved by the Green Empire people. Unexpectedly, the opposite was true. It is said that it was the most unique food in the Orc Tribe. It has become a guest of honor for the banquet held by the nobles. The vermicelli with "limited yield" seems to be able to be quietly circulated in the limited aristocratic circle. It turns out that this thing was taking a high-end route.

This reminds me of Kuz's territory drowning, and the swamps seemed to be covered with potatoes. I'm afraid this guy would be ruthless because of these vermicelli!

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that the corpse and tincture oil will also take the high-end route. I have never seen them in various grocery stores. The oil residue left by the swamp zombies after refining the tincture oil was actually made into pieces of "honeycomb coal" by Kuz according to my original idea. Now he has gradually entered the thousands of households of the Green Empire.

My thoughts were interrupted by a huge roar. I slowly woke up from my meditation. A bright signal light had already lit up on the harbor tower a hundred meters above my head. As the noise became more and more chaotic, every other day, this lively scene would appear on the harbor tower. The entire tower was covered with hardworking workers preparing to load and unload goods. The moment the airship stopped, there would be endless crowds of people carrying the cargo on the airship and quickly replenishing the airship under orderly command.

On the largest airport tower in the south of El City, a huge airship sailing from Ziqingshan City to Sloyd is slowly docking. The airship is like a huge wooden spaceship floating in the sky. The airship has ten-wing propellers on both sides. These huge propellers driven by magic pattern arrays rotate rapidly, suspending the 100-meter-long airship in the sky. A bright searchlight is installed at the front of the airship. In such twilight, the headlight is constantly shaking left and right.

A long whistle sounded again on the airport tower, which was a signal that urged the travelers to start preparing to board the ship. The elf girl's long white hair was scattered by the wind in the summer evening. She hurriedly reached out and put the hair on my face together behind the pointed long ears. The white and crystal clear long ears were revealed. Combined with the elf girl's thin cheeks, it turned out to be a beautiful work of art.

A very simple sleeveless leather jacket and tight leather pants can even wear exquisite fashion when worn by the elf girl. Her big eyes were slightly narrowed, ignoring the lengthy whistle sound, staring at me, with a slight scent of her eyes.

"I really want to let me go?" The elf girl blinked, her lips slightly opened, and the two white teeth were like two crystal pearls.

No matter what, she never expected that I would let her, who was worth fifty magic crystals, easily let her go. Now that the soul contract that belonged to me has been torn apart and thrown away at my feet at will.

I smiled and teased her: "Why not? Do you still have to worry about how to take good care of you in the next days?"

The elf girl tilted her head and looked at me carefully, as if at this moment, she wanted to engrave my appearance deeply in her mind.

"Do you want to bring more travel expenses? Are you sure you can find relatives in the Green Empire?" I decided to send Buddha to the West. Since I had decided to release her to her world, it would be better to do good things to the end, so I asked her.

She shook her head lightly, pursed her lips and had the pride of the elves on her face, and replied very simply: "No need!"

Then she looked at the soul scroll discarded on the grass beside her. The magic pattern array on it had completely failed. She looked at me deeply and said to me: "I hope I will have a chance to meet again in the future!"

I hesitated for a moment, and smiled and said to her, "Okay!"

The elf girl slowly merged into the crowds of people on the airport tower and walked slowly towards the airship, without even looking back.

I didn't ask her where she was going, nor even her name. I didn't want to know any origin of her. Since I had decided to release her back to freedom, I just did it a little more casually. But then again, the Fifty Magic Crystals are really a bit distressing. I don't know what Bobby would think after knowing my decision. I can't care so much. Since I decided to be willful once, I have to bear the consequences in the future.

…beautiful dividing line…

It was already late, I believe Fanny must be waiting at home at this time, so I quickly sorted out my mood and prepared to go home.

The beast warrior and the orc girl were left in the broken campfire camp by me. For a moment, I could not think of how to place these orcs, especially with a handwritten letter from the wise man in their hands. I had a relationship with the wise man with a high reputation in the wasteland. I could not imagine how the wise man knew that I would live in seclusion in El City five years ago.

‘Divine Art’ is a very mysterious spell. There are not many shamans in the orc tribe who can foresee the future. I have a ridiculous feeling that I was slandered five years ago.

But facing these orcs who are so poor that they can't afford to wear pants, at least I should do something for them now! I don't have much help, at best, just a full meal and a piece of clothing that can protect my body from the cold. So, I once again took out all the yellow and orange gold coins left in my pocket and handed them over to the old orcs to buy some of the cheapest rye flour, and maybe some cheap bison leather transported from the plateau. These leathers are not good for soft armor, but there is no problem in making hard leather armor or marching tents with hard leather armor.

Most of the orcs have a little simple mind. Generally speaking, as long as they believe, the nine cows may not be able to get back. Just like they are now stubbornly treating me as the messenger of the beast god, this group of about a hundred people suddenly became my followers.

Orcs are born as cobblers, just like dwarves are born as blacksmiths. After they are born, the orcs live a semi-nomadic life on the wasteland. They have to deal with leather almost all their lives, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all leather. When I see that there is no half of the leather in their camp, I know how poor they are. They not only need some clothes to cover their bodies, but also some tents suitable for camping in the wild.

I sat on a straw mat and said to the shaman who had a limping one leg with a stern face: "I am a very mean person!"

He looked at me with a smile, as if as long as I could take them in, even if they sold them as slaves, they would have no complaints.

"Maybe you will lose your freedom in the future!" I said to the old orc again.

He still smiled without saying a word, and a light of blind worship came from his muddy eyes.

"You must work for me like slaves. No one wants to be lazy. Lazy people will be whipped. I also have to make strict rules. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished..." No matter what I said, the old orc and the beast warrior were listening carefully.

Until I finally spoke dryly and asked the two of them helplessly: "Are you sure you want to be my followers?"
