Chapter 64: Returning Home
When they returned to the cliff corner, the night was already deep, and the dark night sky covered the moonlight, leaving only a faint glimmer of stars between the heavens and the earth, so that the world would not be completely plunged into darkness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tribesmen all stayed up all night worrying about the warriors who went out on the expedition, and it was not until the moment that Thor and the others appeared at the entrance of the village, and Bertha put the hanging heart back in her stomach, and was the first to rush out, and threw herself into Thor arms, rubbing hard with peace of mind.
Diana was there, too, and she smiled softly at Thor, as calm and beautiful as ever. Nodding at her with a smile, Thor sincerely thanked Diana for her help, presumably in his absence, it was Diana who supported the daily operation of the tribe.
The old witch doctor, Kaziba, who was addicted to all kinds of experiments, also came, and his back was inconspicuous in the crowd, smiling gloomily, as if he wanted to deliberately hide behind the crowd.
Thor gestured to him, though he was still skeptical about the usefulness of witch doctors or something, but Kazba was undoubtedly the first person in the tribe to do research, and Thor was looking forward to his future cooperation with the dwarves.
"Alright, alright, we're back—" Thor waved his hand at the villagers, then turned to the blacktooth who was following to the right and whispered:
"Arrange for the soldiers to be disbanded, to rest when they should rest, to post when they should be sentry, and to store the collected weapons and clothes in the storehouse first, and I will give Diana an inventory later. ”
Blacktooth replied, and Thor crouched down again, reaching out to pat the head of the dire wolf's one-eyed wolf, but was stubbornly dodged by one-eyed.
"Poof-" With a chuckle, young Noam didn't care, and said to the giant wolf with a symbolic stroke, "Thank you for your hard work, this harvest is good, and tomorrow I will have someone bring you more food." ”
The one-eyed "whoop" responded, but he didn't know if he understood it, so he wagged his big tail and led the wolves to the wolf's den on the west side of the cliff.
Thor stood up, the smile on his face retracted, coldly glanced at the slender figure held by Kratos on the left, and said lightly to the rest of the people:
"Let's go, let's go back to my house first. ”
The sneak attackers on the sailboat were restrained by Thor and immediately knocked Kratos unconscious, and brought back to the tribe along with the large rusty iron box found in the cave.
In the unorderly corner, it is safer to go back to your own turf and deal with things.
The group followed Nome and followed the crossroads to the central square at the corner of the cliff, facing the most spacious earthen house, which was Thor's house.
Kratos, Morey, Diana, Tula, and Bertha followed Morey, Paladin, Ingvar, and even the dwarf Gangus took their place in the house, and even Kaziba, who was barely concerned about foreign affairs, made a rare appearance in the house.
The room, which was still quite spacious, was crowded with many people, and the huge rusty iron box was thrown in the center of the room by Pompeii with a "bang", and Kratos casually threw the captured emaciated man onto the box, and then everyone stood or sit, quietly waiting for Thor to speak.
"Wake him up. Thor spoke lightly, the atmosphere was a little dull, everyone knew that the first thing to ask from the other party was the origin of this group of pirates.
Contrary to expectations, the pirate force, with a medium-sized plundership and nearly a hundred sailors, would inevitably have some connection with Worms on the other side of the South China Sea, and this was what Thor and Morey feared most.
Because in Morey's telling, Worms is by no means comparable to the Cerveros, a behemoth that the Sothians are absolutely unable to fight at present.
"He woke up on the way—" Kratos sat cross-legged beside Thor with a tense face, still unsmiling, who preferred to stand and discuss things, but was too tall for the little mud house to fit in, so he had to sit on the hard ground.
"Really, you're going to play dead when you're awake, Pompeii, and you're going to help wake him up. "This time, Thor used the lingua franca of Wotan.
Evidently the man lying on the box understood his words, and one of the bones turned over, sneered and knelt on the ground, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and looked bitterly at Saul who also said to him in lingua franca:
"It doesn't have to be so, I'm awake, Great Chief. Not knowing what to call Thor, the young man could only think of the most respectful name for the barbarian leader in his mind, hoping to please him a little.
And the fact that this barbarian chief knew how to speak the lingua franca really surprised the man.
"Put away your hypocrisy. Thor snorted lightly, touched the nail of his right index finger, squinted at the man with golden-red mixed hair, and said lightly:
"Tell me your name, what you do, where you live - and the pirates on board, you killed them?"
"Yes, my name is Toby, I'm from Worms, and I'm a ...... Smuggler. The man named Toby was very obedient and gave everything a clear account:
"The pirates on the ship - I killed them, they tied me and my companions, tortured me to find out where we buried the treasure, and after killing my companions, they tied me up in the cabin, and when I broke free, they killed the crew......"
"So, this box should be yours?" Thor raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that the last one he caught was actually the real owner of the treasure, and he asked with some curiosity:
"What is the treasure in this chest?"
"Five hundred golden roses, Chief Chief—" Toby replied honestly, bowing his head.
Thor looked at Morey sitting on his left suspiciously, but saw that the latter was a little surprised, and opened his mouth slightly, seeing Thor looking at him, Morey hurriedly collected his thoughts, calmed down and slowly said to Noam:
"The Golden Rose is one of the most popular currencies in Wotan, Lord Nome. "He spoke in the lingua franca of Wotan" was spearheaded by the Conrad family of Worms, and the golden rose was the family crest of the Conrad family. ”
Toby, who lowered his head, was taken aback, and suddenly looked up at Morey, a trace of coolness slipped through his heart, but he didn't expect that there were also people who knew about the Wotan continent around this group of savages.
He secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he didn't plan to hide anything from the other party, otherwise he would be the first to find out.
"Is five hundred a lot?" Thor tilted his head, a little unclear.
"My lord—" Morey cleared his throat and said in the barbarian language, "the attendant who runs errands for the nobles on the flower trail in Rosendaal, the capital of France, can only earn thirty copper plates a day. ”
"There are only 70 silver roses in a year, which is less than 3 gold roses. The old man's eyes widened again, and he looked at Thor and said to him earnestly:
"And being a sidekick to the nobles is already a very decent and well-paid job in Roosendal—"
Seeing Thor nodding slightly, Morey concluded: "For ordinary people, 500 gold coins is enough for them to live happily for a lifetime, and it is money that countless people can't earn by struggling for a lifetime. ”
