Chapter 35: The Ogre and the Ebb and Tide Harbor
It's a new morning in Tidetide Harbour.
Before the sun rises, the proprietors of the shops on the street will start shouting and shouting to wake up the yawning men to clean up and put a wide variety of goods on the shelves, which will gradually be transformed into charming gold coins.
Although the Ebb and Tide Harbor of Sea Rock Bay was originally founded by a group of goblin traveling merchants, the main inhabitants of this place have become the overlords of Dota 6, the humans. After all, with the huge population base of the human race, it is not surprising that it appears to completely rule everywhere, not to mention that the current Ebb Tide Harbor is a transportation hub and a commercial distribution center for several large 6 and large manned islands, and tens of thousands of merchants, sailors, mercenaries, and even pirates come and go every day, and only in this city established by goblins, will you see all kinds of sub-human races and humanoids.
Four hundred years ago, the Black Mountain Dynasty was founded, and the Divine Dragon Royal Family and the Seven Holy Beast Duchies swept through the Big 6, driving the originally powerful humanoid sub-human race either to the underground wilderness or killing them, completely consolidating the identity of the overlord of the Terran Big 6, and bringing the once glorious Amani Troll Empire, Angela Zerg Kingdom, the upper elf Sindore, the bone-eating orcs, and the black iron dwarf...... They all drove out of the rich and wide Emerald Plains. However, these races are not extinct on the Dota Big 6, but whether it is the elves, dwarves, orcs, halflings and other humans, or the subhuman races such as the Centaurs, Naga, Gnolls, Kobolds, etc., they can only survive as slaves or robbers on the Big 6.
The humanoids are better, such as the elven dwarves, who have outstanding racial specialties and are similar to humans, it is good to meet a generous and kind master, and sometimes they can walk around the streets with a collar, and it is not impossible to live to old age, while the subhuman race, which is obviously different from humans, can only appear in the slave market, the worst conditions of the slave factory, the mine without any security measures, the most cruel and bloody gladiatorial arena, and even ...... The human table. There are very few subhumans who can go through adolescence, and there is almost no possibility of elderly subhumans in human society.
Unlike ogres who eat other creatures in order to survive, well-to-do humans eat other intelligent creatures only out of some kind of bad taste or to show off their wealth, and although they only make up a very small percentage of the total human population, they are the most powerful of the human race.
In the same way, ogres have become the representative of the evil metamorphosis race on the Dota 6, and in the high-level human society, they have become a gastronomic culture with a high style.
In short, wherever there are human beings, what is hidden beneath prosperity and abundance is bound to be distorted, sinful, filthy, and bloody.
Sleeping Giant Hotel ......
Like the hundreds of hotels of all sizes scattered throughout the town, it offers some of the most needed services, including food, wine, lodging, and women......
For a few dozen copper coins, you can eat the most authentic seabird burger, fry the python steak, drink a small turtle egg cocktail, and just pull out a few silver coins for a whole night's rest in a relatively clean room, and if you're willing to throw a few gold coins, congratulations, you can hug the sexiest elf dancer in this bar while you sleep.
Although the elven slave that the hotel owner Bearded Joe bought back from the slave market was not young, and there were still many indelible traces left by the previous masters, she even had only one breast. But how to say that the naturally beautiful pure-blooded elves also have a beauty that most races females can't reach, and the ruthless years are difficult to leave obvious traces on them, plus the bearded Joe has never minded that customers will play some heavier games with the elf dancers, as long as they are willing to pay a certain amount of silver to compensate, so the Sleeping Giant Hotel will always be patronized by a few regular customers.
Business at the Sleeping Giant Hotel has been even better than usual these days, thanks to a young guy newly hired by the owner. Several of his meat dishes are quite good, especially the grilled chicken wings schnitzel and snake egg soup, which are highly appreciated by anyone who has eaten them.
Business is good, the originally grumpy bearded Qiao has more smiles on his face, looking at the big boy who has been busy for himself without rest, the boss is still glad that he didn't have the impulse to sell this stinky boy to the slave market.
To be precise, this little guy was not hired by the bearded Joe, just three days ago, this little devil came to sleep with the giant for dinner, but after eating, he dug out his pocket, but he couldn't even touch half a copper. Although he repeatedly reiterated that his wallet had been stolen, and the boss Joe believed it, after all, there were as many thieves as there were mercenary groups in Seastone Bay Tideport, and there were almost as many pickpockets on the street as there were busy guys in the shops.
But no matter what, the boss Joe still can't forgive someone for eating overlord meals in his shop, and more importantly, this imp who eats overlord meals doesn't have any guardians or friends to help him pay, so he has a hundred reasons to sell this imp to a slave trader and use his body to pay off his food.
However, this little ghost kept saying that he could earn more wealth for the bearded Joe, and then he went into the back kitchen, and it only took a few minutes to use a limited number of ingredients and flavorings to make several delicious dishes that tasted good.
Bearded Joe had been worried about not having a decent chef and not being able to compete with a few other bars, and there had been no halfling for sale in the slave market lately. What? You asked the bearded Joe to hire a regular chef? What are you kidding, he doesn't want a chef who needs to be paid a monthly salary, even if the salary is small, it's a matter of principle.
So of course, as soon as he entered the town of Ebb Tide, he was taken away by Goldfinger all the gold coins on his body, and he was reduced to the little ogre Goron, who wanted to eat the overlord's meal, and went back to his old job in a daze, but this is not entirely a bad thing for Golon.
Although he already has a lot of understanding of human society in the story, it is still limited to the fantasy level of paper after all, and as a result, he was taught a good lesson on the first day he entered the town, although he knew that the profession of thieves was rampant but still recruited, and the missing family members had not been found, and he was almost sold into slavery.
Fortunately, Goron has a strong ability to adapt and learn, starting from the kitchen he is most familiar with, Goron refreshes a little bit of knowledge, and then adapts to this real "world outside the forest".
Bearded Joe was very pleased with this young man, he was a good cook, and he was very diligent in his hands and feet, and of course, the most important point was that this taciturn, even a little submissive, gloomy boy would never ask him for his wages, although the money he earned back for Bearded Joe had already passed hundreds of times the amount of food he owed at the beginning.
Of course, the bearded Joe didn't want to be seen as the kind of harsh and stingy boss, so although the salary was not negotiable, he was willing to give Goron "proper" rewards, such as two hours of free rest every day, and even promised to help him buy a ticket to the "fairytale" circus at Golon's request
