The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the faces of each of us, and a cool light rain wiped the blue sky to a bright and clean window, and at this moment a few remaining clouds in the sky were covered with a brilliant glow, as if dyeing the white silk with gold edges.A few white birds streaked across the sky, and only in such a cool evening, they dared to fly so freely, on the hill on the outskirts of the city in the distance, the golden apple grove rendered the entire mountain field into a touch of thick green, looking at the past is actually beyond the boundary, that sea of trees is the real heritage of the city of El.The outline of the entire city of El is faintly outlined in the twilight not far away, the central hill in the center of the city has been lit up with a light, the aura of the magic academy and the city hall gives the mountain the name of power, this is a thriving city, with the relationship between the Grimm Empire and the orc tribe in the past two years, a large amount of trade between Gruudin and Sloitt City, the rise of this trade route will affect the economy of the entire north, El City happens to be located at a hub of this trade route, and the huge business opportunities have already made El City feel a little hot.Many citizens have felt a lot of benefits, the caravans passing here will generally leave a variety of goods brought back from the orc tribe, including the magic antelope parchment paper produced by the orc tribe and a large number of low-level magic herbs, but after careful statistics, the proportion of these goods is decreasing year by year, and among the goods brought back from the orc tribe, there are more and more goods worthy of trade by the human merchants, including leather, herbs, food, ores and various exquisite gems, The orcs have begun to process these materials into goods in the characteristic style of the tribal orcs, which are rapidly encroaching on the markets of the Grimm Empire.Nowadays, delicious canned luncheon meat has become almost a household name, and we all know that those exquisite tin cans contain genuine and unique wild beef, which is not only on the table of every family, but also has become a must-have for camping in the wild.If you don't hunt a large number of these one-horned bison, the vegetation on the Pai Plateau is bound to be completely destroyed by these highly adaptable livestock, and a large number of cheap canned food is transported down from the plateau in exchange for bags of silver pickets.
Those vermicelli transported down from the plateau have been divided up by the nobles of the entire Grimm Empire, because I have never seen anyone sell the vermicelli of the orc tribe in the market, I originally thought that these vermicelli were not well promoted and were not liked by the people of the Grimm Empire, but I didn't expect that it was the opposite, it was said that it was the most unique food of the orc tribe and had become a guest of honor at the banquet held by the nobles, and the vermicelli with limited production seemed to be quietly circulated in a limited aristocratic circle, It turns out that this thing is going the high-end route.It reminds me of Kuz's territory drowning, and the swamps seem to be overgrown with sweet potatoes, and I'm afraid this guy will count the money because of these vermicelli!
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that those corpse fire oil also take the high-end route, I have not seen any trace of them in various grocery stores, and the oil residue left by those swamp zombies after refining the corpse fire oil was actually made into pieces of honeycomb coal by Kuzi according to my original idea, and now it has gradually entered the thousands of households in the Green Empire.My thoughts were interrupted by a loud roar, I slowly woke up from my contemplation, the 100-meter-high airport tower above my head has been lit up with bright signal lights, as the noisy sound around it becomes more and more chaotic, every other day, this lively scene will appear on the airport tower, the whole tower is covered with the hard workers who are ready to load and unload goods, just waiting for the moment when the airship stops, there will be an endless stream of people carrying the goods on the airship, and quickly replenishing the airship under the orderly command.On the platform of the largest airport tower in the south of El City, a huge airship sailing from Ziqing Mountain City to Sloit City is slowly approaching, the airship is like a huge wooden structure spaceship floating in the sky, the airship has ten winged propeller blades on both sides, these huge propellers driven by the magic pattern circle rotate rapidly, levitating the hundred-meter-long airship in the air, the front end of the airship is equipped with a bright searchlight, in such twilight, the headlight is constantly shaking from side to side.The long white hair of the elf girl was scattered by the summer evening wind, and she hurriedly reached out to bring the hair that blew on my face behind the pointed long ears, and the pair of white and crystal clear ears were revealed, which looked like a fine work of art, with the elf girl's emaciated cheeks.A simple sleeveless leather coat and tight leather pants on the body of the elf girl could even wear the taste of fine fashion, and her big eyes narrowed slightly, ignoring the long whistle, but stared at me with an incomprehensible taste in her eyes."
Are you really going to let me go?"
The elf girl's eyes blinked, her lips opened slightly, and the two white teeth were like two crystal pearls.She never thought that I would let her go easily, which was worth fifty magic crystals, and now that the soul contract that belonged to her had been torn up by me and discarded at will.I laughed and teased her, "Why not?
Do I have to worry about how to take good care of you in the coming days?
”The elf girl tilted her head and looked at me carefully, as if at this moment, she wanted to engrave my appearance in her mind."
Do you want to bring some extra money?
Are you sure you can find your loved ones in the Grimm Empire?
”I decided to send the Buddha to the West, and since I had decided to put her into her world, it was better to do good things to the end, so I asked her.She shook her head lightly, pursed her lips with the pride peculiar to elves, and replied very simply: "No!
”Then her eyes looked at the discarded soul scroll on the grass beside her, the magic pattern circle on it had completely failed, she looked at me deeply and said to me, "I hope to have the opportunity to meet again in the future!"
”I hesitated for a moment, smiled and said to her, "Okay!
”The elf girl slowly merged into the flow of people at the airport tower and walked slowly towards the airship, without even looking back.I didn't ask where she was going, I didn't even ask her name, I didn't want to know anything about her origins, and now that I've decided to set her free, I'm just going to do it in style.But then again, Fifty Magic Crystals is really a bit distressing, I don't know what Bobby will think after knowing my decision.I can't care so much, since I decided to be willful once, then I have to bear the consequences later.It was getting late at night, and I believe Fanny must have been a little anxious at home at this time, so I quickly sorted out my mood and prepared to go home.The orc warrior and the little orc girl were left behind by me in the ruined campfire camp.For a moment I could not think of how to settle these orcs, especially since they had a letter from the wise man of Mayana, and I had a relationship with the wise man of great repute in the wasteland, and I could not imagine that he would leave such an unbelievable letter, and I could not figure out how the wise man knew five years ago that I would be living in seclusion in the city of El.Divination is a very esoteric spell, and there aren't many shamans in the orc tribe who can foresee the future, and I have the ridiculous feeling that I was being slapped five years ago.But in the face of these orcs who are too poor to even wear pants, at least I should do something for them now!
I can't help much, at best, it's just a full meal, a piece of clothing to protect me from the cold.So once again I took out all the yellow, orange, and orange gold coins that were left in my money bag, and gave them to the old orcs, so that they could buy some of the cheapest rye flour, and perhaps some cheap bison skins brought back from the plateau, which were not good for soft armor, but had no problem making hard leather armor or a hard cowhide for the marching tents.Most of the orcs' brains are a bit simple, generally speaking, as long as it is what they believe, the nine cows may not be able to pull it back, just like now they stubbornly regard me as the messenger of the beast god, and this group of more than 100 people suddenly became my followers.Orcs are tanners by nature, just as dwarves are blacksmiths by nature, orcs are born to live a semi-nomadic life in the wasteland, and they have to deal with leather almost all their lives, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all tanners.When I saw that there was not half a piece of leather in their camp, I knew how poor they were, and they needed not only some clothing to cover their bodies, but also some tents suitable for camping in the wilderness.I sat down on a straw mat and said to the lame shaman with a straight face, "I'm a mean person!"
”He looked at me with a smile, as if they would not complain if I could take them in, even if I sold them into slavery."
Maybe you will lose your freedom in the future!"
I said to the old orc again.He still smiled and said nothing, and there was a light of blind worship in his cloudy eyes."
You have to work for me like a slave, and no one should be lazy, for the lazy will be whipped, and I will make strict rules, and anyone who breaks them will be punished," and whatever I said, the old orc and orc warrior listened attentively.Until I finally spoke dryly, and helplessly asked the two of them, "Are you sure you want to be my followers?"
”Without hesitation, they nodded unfinished.
