Chapter 42 Centaur Longbow (Part 2)

Murphy slept very heavily that night.

When he woke up the next day, it was already bright. As his consciousness woke up, there were gradually rumbling in his ears. The construction of the blacksmith shop was about to be completed. Self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency in the town was very important, so in recent days, residents have been working. The blacksmith shop does not cover a large area, but the personnel training required is still quite troublesome. In the first period, Murphy allocated a batch of supplies for them to practice.

It was not until these few days that it finally achieved some results.

After turning over, Murphy realized that the coat was no longer the same as last night. He was wearing a thin Saigon close-fitting nightgown, which was very close and comfortable. The style did not look like his own, but it looked a bit like the clothes of the priestesses...

This seems to be what the high priest replaced for himself last night?

There was still a faint fragrance on it.

Murphy was together and suddenly noticed a little itch on his back. He put his hand on his back and scratched it, and immediately scratched a large blood cocoon.

"Have your injury healed?" Murphy touched the smooth skin that had emerged from behind, and his expression was stunned.

In the battle with the Gnoll that night, because the situation was very unfavorable, even Murphy, as the lord, had to join the battle himself!

That night, General Hammerton died in battle! Only 11 Spartan heavy infantry survived! And Murphy also left three deep bone-deep wounds on his back that night!

One is a sword wound, and the other two are left by the claws of the werewolf.

The latter almost pulled off a large piece of flesh from Murphy's back during the attack!

This wound was initially healed under the divine treatment of the Holy Water and the High Priest. Another part of the flesh and blood regeneration is not used. If the holy water is not used, it will have to wait for a slow natural healing process. It has only been a week or two, so it should not be healing so quickly?

Murphy suddenly remembered the warm feeling that came from the high priest Rourou's little hands last night. While grasping the sour muscles, there was also a warm current on his body similar to that when he was treated by magic.

Did the High Priest treat himself again last night?

Thinking of this, a warm feeling suddenly surged in Murphy's heart.

What a very caring little girl...

The breakfast was porridge, and there was a bowl of stewed and rotten fish soup, which was full of fragrance.

After breakfast, Murphy called the messenger to ask about the specific number of werewolves captured last night. According to the previous agreement, half of the werewolves captured were Murphy's trophy.

After some inquiry, Murphy found that the proportion of prisoners was still large.

Nearly 200 adult werewolf clans with a population of about 500 were captured.

When surrounded, with the first batch of adult male zombies as the main force being killed, the other female zombies and semi-adult zombies soon lost confidence and completely gave up resistance. It must be mentioned here that the so-called semi-adult zombies refer to zombies who are between the ages of twelve and eighteen and have not yet reached the 20-year-old standard for the most combative zombies.

Generally speaking, there are only so many gnoll clans, and the internal competition among this vicious creature is also very fierce. Few werewolfs can live to an older age. Generally, after entering old age, the gnoll's survival ability will be greatly reduced!

Because other zombies in the clan will also be their potential enemies!

One hundred werewolves, even according to the minimum standard of 20 silver coins, are worth more than 2,000 silver coins.

Almost equivalent to the tax revenue of the territory for a whole month!

Because of trade, Murphy also had some surplus food on hand. He has never been a person who likes to save money. In his opinion, the money spent is money! The ones hoarded in the territory are not called money, but silver precious metals.

Therefore, the income brought by urban trade was basically transferred by Murphy to buy supplies from the rear of humans in the southern plains.

These substances include various living needs and strategic reserves that can be used!

The first batch of royal merchants, similar to those used by the lord, have been trained by Murphy. Everything should not be rushed, so he did not deliberately encourage the residents of the territory to go to business. The progress of the construction of the territory is accelerating, and the silver coins in the hands of urban residents are gradually increasing. Murphy believes that it will not take long before the merchant's gap will be gradually filled.

"Lord, there is a merchant named Prife outside asking for a visit!" A beautiful girl's inquiry came from outside the door. After the reconstruction of the Governor's Mansion, a group of new maids were added. These girls took over the work of the attendants and took over Murphy's daily life in the Governor's Mansion.

And with the encouragement of the high priest, these girls were also allowed to go to the temple to learn the priests' fighting skills.

There are twelve new maids, six are responsible for daily life and diet, and six are responsible for the safety of the Governor's Mansion. The latter is a girl selected by the high priest with a certain combat talent. They are undergoing more orthodox Templar training. At present, the combat power is roughly the same as that of ordinary soldiers, but the growth space is considerable!

And in normal times, these girls are also the targets of Murphy's training.

For now, Murphy is probably able to deal with the combined attacks of three girls at the same time. Of course, this is not based on skills, but on the innate suppression of men's power.

Prife?

Murphy rubbed his forehead and tried to remember the identity represented by the name from his memory. He had come into contact with too many names during this period and could not react for a while.

Fortunately, he still had some impression of this name, because it was pronounced in turn - Philip.

Prife seems to be a slave trader and one of the main people who participated in the battle yesterday?

He wants to see him?

What would be?

In fact, Puliffe, who was standing in the Governor's Mansion, was also worried.

Pulife is a middle-aged businessman, not tall, slightly fat, but very strong, a man who can eat a pound of meat in a meal. He was born in a goldsmith family, and after his hard work, he became a slave merchant with good value. However, his luck recently was not good. As a slave merchant, Pulife mainly operates goblin slaves. However, since the Koblin language was successfully translated and some slave merchants mastered the method of domestication and teaching koblins, goblins in the slave industry were completely replaced by dogmints!

The reason is well known that goblins are not as diligent and honest as koji. In industries that require a large number of slaves, such as mining, koji has professional advantages over goblins.

This leads to a problem, that is, the prospects for the goblin slave market have become less optimistic.

This is also the reason why Prife shifted his focus to the gnoll slaves. In terms of profit, the goblins are certainly not as high as the gnolls, but in terms of safety, the goblins are obviously much less threatened. As a slave merchant without aristocratic background, Prife is not very good at making a living in the human city-state. He is often suppressed by other slave merchants with nobles as backstages!

So, after seeing Murphy's extraordinary leadership and military talents with his own eyes yesterday, he thought hard for a night and finally decided to recommend it today and hold it on! He needs a backstage, and everything yesterday also told him that Murphy has a very high investment value! Of course, this also requires him to have corresponding value and can bring consistent benefits to Murphy!

Prife is quite confident about this!

Because he is one of the few businessmen in human city-states who dare to cross the deserted stone highlands and successfully reach trade with the centaurs!

This is also the reason why he was able to make a fortune without a noble background.

In his youth, Prife was full of adventure. He once led a team of people across the deserted rocky highlands and rescued the centaur chief surrounded by a large group of goblins by a coincidence.

At that time, about six hundred goblins surrounded dozens of tall centaurs.

The unique sharp eyes of the merchant made him discover the extraordinaryness of these centaurs because they wore decorations made of mammoth teeth on their bodies, which were something that only centaur nobles could have!

At that time, Prife made an adventurous decision!

Then lead your mercenaries to attack the group of goblins with a team of less than fifty people! As a slave merchant, he knew that goblins were very brave. As long as they could suppress them in a momentum, they would likely defeat them in one fell swoop!

That time, the goddess of luck stood beside Prife.

He actually defeated the group of goblins in one fell swoop and saved the centaur nobles. This move also gained the gratitude of the centaurs. He gained the recognition of the chief of a centaur tribe and was respected as a warrior!

Facing more than ten times more enemies, this courage is not bad compared to that of the centaur warriors.

With this incident, Prife successfully reached a trade with the Centaur Tribe and initially established friendship. He also relied on trade with the Centaur Tribe to accumulate capital bit by bit and gradually gained his current status.

As a slave merchant, Pulife is different from other big merchants with fat hearts. Although he is a little fat, his superior material life has not corrupted his heart. He can also use a good swordsmanship and lead the team to travel on the barren sand. When he is several times the goblins on the opposite side, he still has the courage to lead the team to defeat them!

And he was also the only slave merchant who personally participated in the hand-to-hand combat in the battle yesterday!

For this reason, a bloody wound was added to Prife's arm.

In fact, although Prife is quite confident that Murphy will accept himself, because only he can buy horses and longbows from the centaur! However, the extraordinary performance of Murphy yesterday still made him feel a little ups and downs.

The reason is nothing else, it is just awe that arises invisibly.

Yes, yesterday's battle made Priffe discover a little.

That is, the Greek lord does not seem to have enough ranged attack troops in his hands!

Javelin throwing, which was gradually abandoned after humans entered the era of city-states, completely replaced the range and power of bows and arrows. The military talent of this Greek lord should not be impossible to see this. So the reason why he did not form a long-range attack force is that there are not enough bows and arrows in his hand?

In fact, it is not easy to make bows and arrows.

This takes a while, and if quality is guaranteed, the bow needs to be made in step by step for nearly a year.

The biggest advantage of Prifee is that he can buy a longbow from the Centaur Tribe, a longbow with a powerful and effective range that can reach 210 yards (about 200 meters).

Of course, there is still one disadvantage, that is, this kind of longbow has relatively high requirements for strength (because it is used by centaurs), and the number of them can be purchased will not be too many.

However, Philip is confident that he can buy more than 300 longbows from the Centaur Tribe based on his past friendship!

Because he knew that the Centaur clan was currently fighting a large intelligent creature in the north! They urgently needed a batch of armor to arm themselves, and due to the war, there was also a shortage of centaur food. As long as they provided what they needed, it was not very difficult to buy a longbow and a horse from them!

In order to win the trust of Murphy as much as possible, he also brought the only centaur longbow in his hand!

"Is this the centaur longbow?" Murphy looked at the longbow in front of him quietly. It had smooth lines and the bow body was very smooth, with a length of about 1.5 meters. Because it was a weapon used by centaurs, it was bigger and the power required to draw the bow was not small, but it was within the range that humans could accept!

Although he was ecstatic, Murphy's face remained silent. He looked at the strong middle-aged man in front of him with a bumpy bump. This man looked like a warrior more than a businessman. He had a shrewd light in his eyes, but he did not seem merciless. He seemed to have known what to hold on in his heart. Almost when this man expressed his intention to surrender, Murphy had the idea of ​​recruiting him!

The reason is very simple. He knows the trade routes for trading with Centaurs and can buy supplies from Centaurs!

These supplies include horses and weapons!

"It's a pity to be a businessman with your talent." Murphy stood up slowly and his eyes fell quietly on Prife in front of him. Although he was only sixteen years old, as a lord, his long-term orders and the momentum cultivated in the war had already made him feel the unusual momentum on others! Especially Prife who had experienced yesterday's war, he could feel the unusual momentum on Murphy!

When Murphy saw the slave merchant in front of him, he remembered such a person in his mind.

The reason is very simple. The man in front of him who is strong and looks like a warrior than a merchant was the only slave merchant who personally participated in the battle in yesterday's battle.

This made Murphy feel a little fond of, and he admired his courage quite much!

"I just don't have a clerk in my territory. I wonder if you're willing to serve me?" Murphy smiled, and that smile made Prife feel as if he was in the spring breeze, and he relaxed.

Murphy's words stunned Prife!

He just wanted to surrender to Murphy to seek support from the nobles for himself, but he did not expect that Murphy would value him so much before everything was achieved! It was not a surprise that Philip misunderstood, because the position of a clerk is generally held by the small nobles in this world aristocratic circle, and it was held by the small nobles who were more trusted by the big lords. According to the division of the aristocrats in this world, although the territory is not large, Murphy's strength is at least considered a viscount. Then his clerk is at least a lord noble!

Murphy's statement, in the eyes of the aboriginal people in this world, basically represents a series of promises corresponding to positions, identities, noble titles, etc.

So it's no wonder Priffe was stunned.

After being stunned, he was ecstatic. Prife immediately knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to serve you! Your honorable lord!"

As a slave merchant from a not-so-good background, Prife is very clear about what an aristocrat's identity in this era can represent! It takes several generations of efforts to obtain an aristocrat's identity!

No matter how much money a businessman has, he will always be a pig with a stinky stinky stinky stinky in the eyes of the nobles.

They have no status and are not allowed to raise private soldiers. In the eyes of the great nobles, there is no difference between merchants and pig beasts raised in captivity!

It can be slaughtered when necessary.
