Chapter 980: Arrival at Colossus City
Looking at the Colossus of Osaydi, whose full outline could already be clearly discerned not far away, Munch and Mir finally breathed a sigh of relief. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
To be honest, in this short period of less than two days, the mental pressure on the Mir caravan from top to bottom is simply the same as when it encountered a large group of red-spotted jackals!
You must know that once the existence of Ambis and the others is exposed, in the face of hundreds of bounty hunters and adventurers whose strength is almost above the third order, it would be a fool's dream for the dozen or so people in the Mir caravan to resist!
Fortunately, after surviving the most fearful first night, although there were still many bounty hunters who rushed to Taolezu Village on the way, they were relatively easy to deal with.
It's just that the overly strong enthusiasm of the bounty hunters made Mir quite uneasy, you must know that he had secretly counted that in less than two days, there were nearly six hundred bounty hunters running to Taolezu Village!
These are nearly six hundred warriors of third-order strength or above! Moreover, there were dozens of powerhouses with fourth-order strength or above, not only that, but just this morning, Mir and the others even saw several powerhouses with fifth-order strength with a group of fourth-order and third-order followers, rushing in the direction of Taolezu Village.
These people were so anxious that they even glanced at Mir's caravan and left it behind when they saw it, which made Mir, who was worried about Taura's safety, more and more nervous and uneasy.
Unfortunately, Mir also knew that with the strength of him and his caravan, he would not be able to help Taura in this situation, and even if he hurried back, he would just die.
So in desperation, Mir simply locked himself in a box and slept for a long time, as for whether he could sleep or not, it is unknown......
Speaking of which, the Mir caravans have been coming and going around the barren Gobi for many years, and even this Colossus City of Osaydi has been here many times. Therefore, when the Mir caravan arrived at the gate of the Colossus of Osaydi to be inspected, Munch knew that if he wanted to enter the city smoothly, he was afraid that it would take some trouble.
After all, for the caravan, it is a difficult time to go to the city to pay taxes, and the amount of taxes is often directly related to the final income of the entire caravan. Therefore, the person who can stay at the gate of the city to collect taxes is not just a captain of the guard, but he must be a person who is very trusted and respected by the city lord.
So when the young loxondron captain at the gate of the city came to the corpse of the Kodo beast where Dunkel and the others were hiding, the members of the Mir caravan almost all lifted their hearts.
Fortunately, Munk has a lot of experience, and when he saw this posture, he moved in his heart, and he actually stepped forward and cried poorly, and told the story of the heavy losses caused by the large group of red-spotted jackals, which made the other party's original idea of wanting Dazai to be with him change a little.
Although the part about Zhang Yang was hidden by Munke, the current number of the Mir caravan and the claw marks and bite marks of the red-spotted jackals on the accompanying Kodo beasts were obvious.
In this case, everyone knew that the caravan was already seriously damaged, so the young loxondron guard captain, who originally wanted to detain the whole dead Kodomon corpse and enjoy it alone, considered the problem of the long stream, and finally collected an extra 20% of the tax, and only cut off a hind leg of the Kodomon and put the Mir caravan into the city.
This situation is already quite a huge discount compared to the 'taxes' paid by the Mir caravans when they came to the Colossus of Osaydi.
Only then did Munk take out Mir who was nested in the box, after all, in Munk's opinion, this good news should make Mir's mood better.
"Is it really just an overcharge of 20% of the tax and a Kodomon's leg?! Oh, my God! Brother Munk, you really didn't disappoint me! Hahaha! ”
Looking at Mir, who was laughing because he had saved a lot of money, everyone suddenly felt that this guy had really worried about Taula's safety before. However, Munch knew better than anyone what kind of virtue his boss was, so he quickly stepped forward and covered Mir's mouth, and then leaned into the other man's ear and whispered:
"We haven't 'unloaded' yet! Besides, it's not that far from the city gate, if you laugh like that again, if you attract the guards over, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”
As soon as Munch said this, Mir's small eyes suddenly looked in the direction where the city gate was located, and there were many orcs coming and going here, and his little sound just now did not attract too many people's attention.
It wasn't until he was sure that Mir had calmed down that Munch withdrew his hand, and then continued to lower his voice and asked:
"What do we do now? Do you find a place to settle down first, or do you unload the 'goods' first? ”
Munk punned, and his eyes drifted to the cart at the back of the line carrying the massive corpse of the Kodomon.
In fact, everyone knows that it is the right thing to send the 'goods' to the place first, but the Colossus City of Osaydi is too big, and no one knows about the Mir caravan where the great shaman Gurama lives. So how to secretly release Ambis to lead the way is the most pressing problem at present.
"Well...... It's better to find a hotel to settle down before setting off, after all, there are many people in this area, and it is inconvenient to act. ”
"That's what I'm talking about, so go to the last house?"
"Don't! That hotel is too expensive! Although we have a lot of goods this time, we have to replenish manpower later! So go to the cheap one from last time! ”
“…… Could it be the inn that doesn't even have a bunk in the house?! I wonder it's closed, right?! ”
"Just go and see, although the conditions are a little harder and simpler, but it's really cheap!"
(yes!) In addition to a room where a dozen people can rest, even you have to make your own dinner! Is it really a hotel? No matter how you look at it, it's more like a warehouse, okay...... )
Not to mention how many ** Munch secretly sent out in his heart, when the Mir caravan and his party turned to the west of the Colossus of Osaydi, the 'huge' inn next to the city wall was really still there.
No one knows whose property this inn is a character, after all, it is quite incredible to be able to run such a humble inn for a long time in the Colossus of Osaydi.
You must know that the area occupied by the warehouse-like wooden houses in front of you and the courtyard in front of you is considered to be sold to other merchants, and it will cost thousands of gold coins to be sold.
However, the inn called the 'House of the Giant Elephants' was still half-dead, and when Munk and Mir and the others entered, they looked at it, and wow! It's exactly the same as the last time I came to Osaydi Colossus a few years ago!
Not to mention any waiters and the like, there was only one humpback orc in the entire inn who was so old that he only had two front teeth left, which made Mir and the others, who had paid ten silver coins to live in, suddenly have a sense of absurdity that was almost like going back in time! You must know that with the scale of the current Mir caravan, staying in an inn in the Colossus of Osaydi will cost dozens of silver coins a night, and if the conditions are better, it is even possible to spend a gold coin for food and drink.
So, these ten silver coins are really super cheap!
"Ten silver coins?! I said, Brother Mill, that rat-man can't be some of your relatives, right? It's been a few years, and if I'm not mistaken, the price is exactly the same as the last time we came! ”
"Uh...... I don't think so......"
To be honest, Mir himself was a little surprised at the moment, but since he could save money, he couldn't even be happy, how could he delve into it so much? Besides, although the environment in this hotel is a little simpler, isn't the remote and quiet environment more conducive to keeping secrets?
So while the caravan guards were unloading and preparing to cook, Munk, Mir and the others pushed the body of the Kodo beast into the house along with the whole cart.
However, just when everyone lifted the belly of the corpse of the Kodo beast and opened the 'iron box' hidden in it, Dunkel and the others, who thought they would be extremely weak and tired, actually nested in the soft bedding one by one and still slept soundly!
This situation suddenly made Mankmere and the others dumbfounded!
"Ugh! What happens at this time? Could it be that we opened it in the wrong way? ”
"That's right...... I don't remember putting futon or anything in this tin box, did I? And how do these bedding look like they don't look like things from our Campas Orc Kingdom? This cloth ...... Could it be the legendary ......"
Speaking of this, Munch suddenly stopped silent, he couldn't guess that there was any way to make the materials that only exist in the human kingdom appear in this iron box inexplicably!
Fortunately, at this time, Dunkel, who had been awakened by the light, spoke out to relieve him:
"It's true that these things are covered in the human realm, but I guess they're all trophies, right? As for why the problem suddenly arises...... Munk, let's not delve too deeply into the things about the strong, so wow......"
Hearing Dunkel's meaningful words, Munch and Mir glanced at each other and immediately pretended that nothing had happened, and helped Ambis, Olis, Dunkel and others out in turn, but when it was Zhang Yang's turn, Munch's movements were still slightly sluggish after all.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang didn't need to let him support him, but he jumped lightly and landed firmly in the open space not far behind Meng Ke.
(Surely, is that her?) Listening to what Dunkel said, is Miss Heath really a strong person beyond our imagination? But that's right! If this is the case, everything before can make sense, why is she still so strong without blood energy in her body, and why has she always given me an unfathomable feeling! She...... I guess he's seriously injured, right? )
