Chapter 770 Another journey!
Chapter 771: Come to Thunder Town again!
The Xuanhe Grassland is located directly north of the mainland, just below the ice-clad snow-capped land at the far north.
It connects to the Red Earth Plain where the capital of the Orc Empire, the Royal City, is located in the east, and to the west, the second largest city in the northwest of the Orc Empire, Wangyue City. It is almost the only way to Sauron's path to the Orc Empire. The earth and stone fortress is located in the middle of the entire Orc Empire, separating the two "developed" cities in the east and west.
And just a little southerly, closest to the periphery of the Tushishi Fort, a small orc town that is more famous in half of the orc empire.
The reason why this town is famous is not that this town is unique. On the contrary, this town becomes famous because it is too popular.
Because it is almost located at the intersection connecting the human kingdom with the Xuanhe prairie in the north, as well as the relatively "developed" areas in the east and west, it is a must-pass way to pass by the four directions. The daily population flow is astonishing, which makes the town famous.
Of course, compared with the development of the Orc Empire, population flows like this are far less than those of small towns with equally important geographical locations in the human kingdom.
However, in a relatively primitive orc empire, there are not many places like this town that flourish. In addition to large cities such as Sunset City and Moon Watching City, as well as some medium-sized cities with high development and some strong races, this town below the Xuanhe Prairie can definitely be ranked among the orc empire.
Although, the town can only rank in 20th or 30th, and even lag even further.
However, no orc would think that just a town of town would be worse than the so-called metropolises.
Because there is a special thing here that makes those big cities fade, that is, it is still a gathering place for multiple races, or even different races.
Here, you can not only see various races in other lands of the Orc Empire, but also see some beautiful elves that are rare in human kingdoms on weekdays.
These elves stayed in the town in the form of mercenaries, living in peace with the brutal and barbaric green-skinned orcs in the eyes of humans, without any discord.
Even in this small town you can see many humans who are not popular with orcs.
But these humans dressed strangely. The most obvious thing is that each of them had a strange pattern that they could not understand on their arms or chests.
The patterns that looked like animals, plants, and even more like some mysterious texts, were not seen on the arms and chests of those humans, and looked very eye-catching.
The humans with this pattern on their arms were all treated as companions or their own people by the orcs who were stinking in the eyes of humans, and formed adventure teams with them.
Of course, this situation does not only occur in humans in the town. In fact, whether it is humans, elves, or other foreign race warriors, such as fishmen who are not recognized by orcs, they have this very eye-catching and unique pattern printed on their arms and chests.
It seems that this strange pattern imprinted on every human, elves, or other races represents a proof of identity and the recognition of orcs.
Otherwise, with the orc's extreme personality, let alone those humans who make all orcs have no favoritism, even those beautiful elves who are peaceful ideas, may not be able to stay on this orc's land for even half a second.
That's right, in the Orc Empire, some towns that can still have such a unique style are naturally the thunder town that Ye Piao passed by when he was invited by the Killing Fist Saint Hemachun a long time ago.
Everything here is still the same as a few years ago, as if it has not changed at all. The crowds coming and going in the town are still dense. Just like a few years ago, some special teams with humans, orcs, elves, dwarves, and even fish wise men can be seen everywhere, coming and going between towns, entering and leaving the taverns and hotels in the town. While resting in the corner, they are also looking for tasks suitable for their team to complete.
Everything is like a replica from a few years ago, and it is full of a familiar atmosphere everywhere.
However, the only difference now is that the original guardian of the town, the Bull Head Tribe, which was once extremely powerful in the Orc Empire, has completely disappeared from this land that originally belonged to them, and turned to the human kingdom that was hostile to the Orc Empire. The current Thunder Town fell into the hands of the largest noble troll in the Orc Empire during the reign of Baladi, and was supervised by the troll clan.
For the troll tribe, places like Thunder Town that can make a lot of money will never be allowed to fall into the hands of other races. The Taurus tribe's sudden attack on humans before was not only not a blow to the troll tribe, but rather a great thing.
The reason is very simple. As a veteran strong tribe in the Orc Empire, the land they own is quite fertile. Although there are not many places like Thunder Town, it is much more than other disadvantaged races that have difficulty in living in corners.
Therefore, the trolls are actually already drooling at the territory of the Taurus tribe and want to encroach on these territory.
However, when the leader of the troll clan, Baladi, had not successfully become the Beast King before, the troll clan did not dare to have any thoughts about this fat piece of meat belonging to the Taurus tribe.
However, all this became different after the leader of the troll clan, Baladi, successfully became the Beast King. The troll clan was very powerful and began to constantly have the idea of a strong race like a territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial territorial racialis that were originally belonging to other strong races were taken to their own name and turned into their own private property.
And the wolf clan, the bear clan, and the real owner of the Thunder Town, who were forced to go to the human kingdom to protect themselves, were hit by the troll clan. They immediately took over all the territory of the three clans with this sufficient reason, and in the true sense they became the race with the most actual control of the orc empire.
In this way, Thunder Town fell into the hands of the trolls and became a high-efficiency machine for earning gold coins for the trolls.
However, in the past one or two years, the working efficiency of this high-efficiency machine that earns gold coins in Thunder Town has no longer been as efficient as before.
Due to the greedy exploitation of the troll race and the random management, the Thunder Town, which was originally prosperous, is no longer the same as before.
Although there are still a lot of people in the town and a large number of mercenaries are still staying above the town, it is undeniable that Thunder Town is no longer as prosperous as before, and its speed of earning gold coins has plummeted, and it can no longer be compared with two years ago.
Even many famous mercenary teams near the Thunder Town at that time have gradually left Thunder Town in the past or two years and gone to other cities to seek development.
As a result, the business in Thunder Town became even more difficult, and the trolls could collect less and less gold coins.
So far, the gold coins collected by the trolls from Thunder Town every day have shrunk by more than half, which makes the troll leader responsible for managing the town very depressed.
Forced to do anything, the troll leader who was responsible for managing the town also issued an order to adjust the speed tax rate, reducing all the additional taxes.
However, such behavior has little effect and cannot save the momentum of the town's economy continuing to decline rapidly. The town's economy still falls rapidly every day like a magic teleportation array. It won't take long to see this town that had been making countless money every day, and it will completely become a place where a ghost is unwilling to come again.
Fortunately, when Ye Piao and Nicholas came to this town again, such a tragic thing had not happened yet. Although the lively scene in the town was no longer as good as before, the passers-by, caravans, and mercenaries who came and went, decorated the entire Thunder Town with a few years ago.
However, what is unaware is that the employment volume and transaction volume here are already much worse than before, and it has become much more depressed.
However, this does not seem to affect the two people's stay and inquire about the news.
After all, the town is far from reaching the point where people are so rarely visited that they cannot even convey information.
Of course, it would not be necessary if two people came late for a year or two years. By then, perhaps this place had already become a place where birds didn't like to shit, so that the two people could not even find out about hair.
"It's here. Let's stay here tonight. Let's first find out the current situation in the Orc Empire. At the same time, you'd better sense the location where Federic and the others were imprisoned. We should try to get the quicker we can do as much as possible."
After looking at the face in front of him, there was still no change. The huge sign full of "tadpole" written on it, a look of memory flashed in Ye Piao's eyes. Then he pointed to the dome building in front of him, which was slightly larger than the buildings in other small towns, and said to Nicholas standing beside him.
"It seems that your journey here is very familiar. Have you been here before? Oh, I forgot. It is rumored in the mainland that you were invited by the Killing Fist Saint Hemachun to the Orc Empire and killed Suhra, the number one undead mage in the mainland at that time. How could you never be here? Why? This is where you lived last time? Haha, it really has a different artistic conception!"
His eyes swept over the huge sign hanging above his head, and a faint smile flashed across Nicholas's face. It was obvious that like Ye Piao back then, he was thundered by the sign in front of him with the strange "tadpole" words engraved on it.
"Get in, don't worry, I bet you must be the most verbose pope in the history of the cathedral."
Nicholas, who glared gently and laughed at him, said something, Ye Piao snorted coldly, without saying much, and took big steps and walked towards the tavern that was extremely familiar to him in his impression.
To be honest, Ye Piao still missed the trip to the Orc Empire in his heart, especially the encounter with Julieya in the tavern that once belonged to Locke and his heifer sister. The moment Ye Piao saw the familiar appearance of the building in front of him, it evoked the beautiful memories of Ye Piao's heart.
Indeed, if it weren't for the meeting in this tavern, the end between Ye Piao and Julia might not have been as perfect as it is now. Perhaps the two of them would have never met again from all over the world. The relationship that was buried deep in their hearts by the two people at that time would naturally become a dusty memory forever.
Therefore, when Ye Piao saw the building in front of him again, which had not even changed its appearance after a few years, Ye Piao naturally recalled the scene when he saw Juliya.
Although, the tavern in front of him is no longer his old friend Locke and his heifer sister.
Thinking of the heifer who had been taken back by himself and re-arranged back to the Tauren tribe, Ye Piao's mouth consciously raised slightly, and a knowing smile appeared.
How could he not remember the embarrassing thing that he had foolishly asked for breast milk when he was looking at the beautiful little mother who was a beautiful goddess in the eyes of countless tauren warriors, and how could he not remember the fact that he had made friends with the old cow Locke after he got into trouble.
Everything that happened here is the most beautiful memory deep in Ye Piao's heart.
Because he represents Ye Piao's past and Ye Piao's growth.
"This guy, what kind of pot is not enough to lift it?"
He muttered and cursed, Nicholas did not dare to fall behind, and at the same time took a step and followed Ye Piao towards the ugly building in front of him that looked like mushrooms, which looked like a mushroom.
"Hey, please come from two noble human guests. Our store has the best high-quality ale and red wine that human guests like to drink, and seven cooked veal, which ensures that the two noble human guests will be satisfied... Well... Do you have no mercenary marks? But it doesn't matter. Just spend a few silver coins to re-issue for the two. It's very convenient. I will not cause any trouble for the two guests. In the future, you can walk freely in the Orc Empire. To be honest, I and the troll leader Ke Kelan, who is responsible for managing the here, still have some effect, and I can guarantee that I can do it for two people.
A guest did it. Haha, you should know that Lord Ke Kelan is the distant cousin of the former Beast King Baladi, otherwise it would be difficult to get a few mercenary marks without a way out! Unfortunately, when His Majesty Baladi personally conquered China, his master of China, King Arenas, Ye Piao, was killed... Oh, see that I was just talking, are the two guests not riding horses? Then please follow me directly. I will arrange a best position for the two noble human guests. Look at the clothes of the two guests, they must be the businessmen who came to do business from China, the human kingdom. Haha..."
Just as Ye Piao and Nicholas approached the tavern, a strong orc wearing a coarse leather jacket, dark green all over his body, and a bulging cloth bag on his waist jumped out from the side, blocking Ye Piao and Nicholas, and uttering such a lot of words very quickly.
Looking at the green-skinned orc with two sharp teeth exposed under his lips, Ye Piao suddenly felt familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
After careful thinking, Ye Piao was surprised to find that the green-skinned orc in front of him was the orc who was guarding the horse that he met before entering Locke, a tavern? Why did this guy still be here after so many years, and it seemed that he was much more energetic than before.
At least...at least it is not as vulgar as before!
I have to say that this is indeed the progress of this guy.
"Hey, maybe you don't know two noble human guests yet. I, Buck, are quite famous in this generation. I, Buck, bragg. Do you know? I have seen His Majesty Ye of the Kingdom of China in your human kingdom before, and I was in this tavern. At that time, I didn't know that the person I saw was King Ye. I didn't know until afterwards that I didn't regret it. If I had known it was him, I would have asked for an autograph, alas..."
While walking towards the tavern, Buck, who was in front of Ye Piao and the other two, kept muttering.
Fortunately, when Ye Piao first arrived here a few years ago, he covered himself with a black robe, and did not let the long-winded guy in front of him see his true appearance, otherwise it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
However, the orc in front of him would say that he would want to sign an autograph, which was beyond Ye Piao and Nicholas' expectations.
It seems that the impression Ye Piao left on the orcs seemed to have reached a point where the orcs who have advocated force since ancient times respected it.
"Are you the boss here?"
After so long, Ye Piao finally asked the first sentence since the green-skinned orc appeared.
"Haha, you really have the eyesight. You deserve to be a big business that has seen the world from the human kingdom. You are right. I am the owner of this tavern. But I was not before, but the original boss of this tavern, Locke, is responsible for leading the horses to the guests. Locke, you know, this guy is very famous now! Because this guy is now a general under King Ye Arenas. He heard that his status is not much better than that of the patriarch of the Taurus tribe, who now joins China. He is extremely forced by the dragon. But if Locke hadn't escaped with King Ye, I'm afraid this tavern wouldn't be my turn to be the boss. To be honest, Locke's sister Heifer also has some tricks... Ha, here, please come in, two guests!"
As he spoke, he had already reached the gate of the tavern. Nabak bowed slightly, first opened the door for Ye Piao and Nicholas behind him, and then stood there like that, looking very respectful.
"Bang!"
A gold coin flashing with golden light popped out from his fingertips. Ye Piao looked at Buck steadily with a nearly perfect method, then stepped into the gate of the tavern and left a word of command behind him.
"Find me a place to be close to the wall, and then give me two bottles of red wine and a plate of beef cattle. As for the more money, I will treat you as a reward."
The huge object as big as a baby's fist lit up instantly. Buck looked at the golden coins shining with golden light that were held in his hand, and felt ecstatic.
Chapter completed!
