Chapter 48 Referring to a Deer as a Horse
This is the only time since the Filan Green militia ransacked the robbers that it has been truly rewarding.
When the bloodstained mammoth and the five wagons returned, the whole emerald was boiling.
Cui Beiqian was the most surprised one, Richard really didn't lie to her, and there were no casualties, so he exterminated this gang of robbers.
How did you exterminate it? Cui Beiqian couldn't figure out what she was thinking in her head.
Liu Zhenzhen's mouth grinned all the way to the root of his ears, and he was busy along the way, and he didn't have time to see what the loot looked like, and this joy can now be shared with everyone.
There were mountains of gorgeous animal skins piled up on a carriage, Liu Zhenzhen was very happy to see it, and he was worried about the lack of clothes in winter, especially those musk people with thin clothes, which were all solved.
A carriage was laden with the finest wild honey, which was held in small oak barrels.
The other carriage was full of treasure chests.
The treasure chest is made of Philip wood, and the outside has decorations and clasps made of wrought copper.
Liu Zhenzhen imagined that it was a gold coin, and twisted the copper lock with an extremely joyful expectation, and his smile froze in an instant.
Inside the treasure chest were rows of neatly stacked short-necked glass bottles, each containing a liquid of different colors, and the gap between the bottles was stuffed with cotton.
Liu Zhenzhen opened every box with no giving up, hoping to find some gold coins, but the truth disappointed him.
All the boxes were filled with these glass bottles of colorful liquids.
"What is this?" Liu Zhenzhen picked up a bottle, unscrewed the cork, and sniffed it to his nose.
A strange smell that I can't tell what it looks like.
"This is the blood of the Monsters, the essential ingredient used by human mages to make magic scrolls, and the largest export item we export every year." Cui Beiqian picked up a glass bottle containing a blue liquid, "Look at this bottle, it contains the blood of a bipedal wyvern, which is five pints. ”
"How much should it be worth so much demonic beast blood to Witherspoon?" Liu Zhenzhen still cares more about gold coins.
"I advise you not to think about it, these are all thieves, if it is a nobleman with real noble qualities, it should be returned to the owner." Cui Beiqian coldly dropped a sentence.
"I'll pay it back!" Liu Zhenzhen laughed thief while pulling his throat and shouting at the back of the beautiful snake tutor who was far away.
The remaining two big cars finally did not disappoint Liu Zhenzhen, a box contained at least about 1,000 gold coins, and Le's old Liu almost didn't shed tears.
There were also weapons and armor of human mercenaries on the carriage, as well as a few barrels of human wine and Dolot's pickled pork, which was not much different from swill in the eyes of Liu Zhenzhen, who was accustomed to drinking rum made by halflings, and those pickled pork were far less delicious than wild free-range swordsmen.
The boss didn't like it, but Karui didn't like it, so he was happy to pick a ready-made one.
The bigger catch was the small bag of magic crystals and one hundred and four musk deer slaves, plus three Green Goblin shaman captives.
The musk people were very nervous, their identity was sealed from the day they were branded as slaves and sold to humans.
Fate suddenly took a turn, and they were a little overwhelmed with happiness.
Seeing the hot meal placed in front of them, although the Adam's apple of each musk deer was shrinking, none of them dared to take the initiative to eat it.
Seeing that Vieri, the former master, was also on the side, every musk man looked at him with a blank eye.
"Hurry up and eat! Fill your belly and talk about it. Vieri unloaded a bucket of honey from the cart, smashed the lid, took the bread, and smeared the musk men with wild honey one by one.
The three proprietresses of Fei Lengcui unloaded the ornate animal skins from the carriage and laid them on the thinly clothed muskmen one by one, each with a crystal rolling in their eyes.
Seeing Helen struggling to carry the heavy hides, Godani couldn't help but come up to help.
"There's one more hostess." Goode quipped.
Gotanie stared at him sharply, and Pan Shuai stuck out his tongue and quickly slipped his feet.
"After feeding your bellies, elect a leader to speak to me." Liu Zhenzhen said to the musk deer as he picked up a powerful crossbow from the carriage.
This crossbow was even smaller and more ornate than the one I had seen in Witherspoon's human weapons shop that day, and the arrow magazine was empty, and I don't know which robber had taken the hit.
Liu Zhenzhen picked it up and looked at it, feeling a little unaccustomed to it, and threw it away again.
Guoguo carried a leopard skin, and swayed triumphantly, this leopard skin was torn by it, and it looked like a big cloak, and the little piglet followed it, holding a red deerskin, running like a groundhog crossing the street.
Guoguo held a candied fruit jar in his hand, and when he passed by the musk man, he handed it to a musk man who was quietly eating.
The little piglet took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention, grabbed the candied fruit jar and ran away.
"Ask your mother to make you a belly pocket, and let her leave a pocket for you, and you can decorate some hawthorn pine cones to eat." Liu Zhenzhen lowered his body and pinched the pink little face of the fruit.
Gogo sniffed, ran to Godani's side, pulled the swan knight's armor skirt, and pointed to her leopard skin cloak.
"Trying to make trouble for me or what?" Lao Liu hugged this little thing with a bad face.
"I made a toy for Guoguo!" Goode ran over like a gust of wind, his big thick hands pinching two pieces of bamboo.
"What is this?" Liu Zhenzhen took it strangely, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a pair of bamboo boards, with a hole cut on it, and a magic crystal embedded in one of them.
"Magic pets should have musical instruments, too! Either you are worthy of your identity as the boss. Goode laughed.
"I can't see that you're so thick, and I know how to shoot House's fart." Godani looked back at Goode.
Goode's face turned red.
"Not bad!" Liu Zhenzhen "fell in the drop" and "fell in the drop" and knocked on the bamboo board, and the two magic crystals collided together from time to time, making a crisp and violent sound.
Guoguo snatched the bamboo board, and smiled into a line.
"My lord," a timid voice sounded.
A tall, thin musk man stood cramped not far away, with dense beads of sweat on the bridge of his nose, and he didn't know if it was the animal skin on his body that made him hot, or because he was nervous.
"You're their head?" Liu Zhenzhen put Guoguo on his shoulder and let it play with the bamboo board by itself.
"The Dir slaves have asked Master Pige to say goodbye." The musk man Adu bent down deeply.
"His name is Adu, and he used to be the leader of my vassal tribe, the Musk Deer." Vieri introduced Liu Zhenzhen.
"I heard that you Dir musk people are natural marksmen, and you have the word "shooting" in your name, can you show me some archery skills? Liu Zhenzhen rummaged through the cart and found a pair of human mercenary strongbows and quivers, and threw them to the musk deer Adu.
The bow was made of yew, and the bow arm was wrapped with copper wire, which was wrapped in the shape of wisteria branches, and it was a fine human longbow.
"Can't! Master! Adu flinched back in horror, "The kingdom has deprived us of the right to use bows and arrows forever, we are slaves, and we are to be put to death if we violate the ban. ”
"Boss, the kingdom really has this rule!" Vieri was afraid that the lord would not believe it, so he quickly agreed.
"Come on, my dear Vieri." Liu Zhenzhen snorted in his nose: "In the Fei Leng Cui Territory, I am the plenipotentiary of the kingdom, and now the kingdom orders the musk man Adu, show me your archery skills, and let me see what a natural marksman is like." ”
"If I ask you to, you will!" Seeing Vieri and Adu looking at each other stupidly, Liu was furious.
The musk man tilted his head sideways and thought about it for a moment, probably thinking that Liu Zhenzhen had a bit of truth in what he said, so he pulled out an arrow and buckled it on the string, twisting his fingers flexibly.
"Did you see that row of geese?" Liu Zhenzhen pointed to the array of geese lined up with the word "Ya" in the blue sky and said: "Give me a double shot with one stone, so as not to dishonor the name of your musk people." ”
There was a circle of people around, all of whom came to see the excitement, and everyone was as curious as the lord to see what the legendary Divine Arrow Tetsuqin was like.
With some difficulty, the musk man Adu pulled the bowstring, held the arrow, and raised his head to aim at the flock of geese in the sky.
Everyone around them stopped breathing.
There was a bowstring sound, and a feathered arrow crossed a faint trajectory and soared straight into the sky.
The feathered arrow failed to hit even a single goose feather, and fell straight down again.
"Damn!" The surrounding circle of people quickly dodged to prevent being accidentally injured by this arrow.
Guoguo jumped up from Liu Zhenzhen's shoulder, and kicked the falling feather arrow away with a kick, Karui put a wine barrel on his head not far away, dodging the falling arrow, only to feel cold under his crotch, and looked down to see that the feather arrow was inserted in his crotch.
Karui almost fainted.
"This is the Beamon marksman who is comparable to the elves and centaurs? A sharpshooter born with the word "shooting" in his name? Liu Zhen smiled.
"Boss, Adu and my musk deer vassals both hunt with slingshots, and their slingshots are accurate," Vieri argued.
The musk man's face flushed.
Before Vieri's words fell, he heard another bowstring sound, and saw a black spot in the sky from small to large falling from the sky, smashing on the treetops of the alder bananas, and falling to the ground with a clattering sound.
It was a fat gray-haired goose, with its wings pierced by an arrow, and it was still struggling on the ground.
Gotanie had a stiff bow in her hand, one foot on the carriage, and she was still in a position of holding a bow ready to go, the bowstring humming and shaking.
"A marksman must go through strict training, the Dir musk deer has been strictly forbidden to use bows and arrows for many years, and even an ordinary knight like me can't compare, how can it reach the level of a centaur marksman?" With a hint of ridicule on the corner of her mouth, Gotani glanced at Liu Zhenzhen.
"Our House clan "Divine Arrow Zheqin" can even hold four arrows between his fingers and breathe four shots, so that's called Boole B! Hippo O'Neill also shook his head for a while.
"I didn't save them to get some marksman, don't be mistaken." Liu Zhenzhen looked at the swan female knight and said.
Godani seemed too lazy to listen to his nonsense, turned her head and walked away.
"Vieri, these muskers were once your vassals, and now I return them to you." Liu Zhenzhen beckoned to the bear man.
"Boss, I have one more thing I want to ask of you. The musk people have been allocated to other Beamon nobles, who have sold them to human traders, and the brand of slaves is lifelong, what if those human merchants want to come and buy them back next year? Vieri wiped the honey from his mouth with the back of his hand.
"If you don't sell it, you can get it?"
"No, the slaves of the kingdom will always belong to only one master, if it is a fugitive slave and other nobles are caught, the owner of the slave can be redeemed at a low price, which is stipulated in the laws of the kingdom." Vieri said.
"What kind of bird rule is this?" Liu Zhen was surprised, the slave he took from the Green Goblin robbers, the original ownership is not his own?
This rule was set to prevent slaves from escaping, and it was normal for nobles to cooperate with each other to capture fugitive slaves. It is from this that the brand of the slave comes from, which master belongs to the family badge mark of the master, some slaves have been monopolized many times, and the whole body is burned with branding, and the slave does not have a household registration, and the brand has become a way to check the identity of the slave, according to the latest branding. Helen explained.
"So, these muskmen aren't really mine now? Or do they belong to those human slave traders? People want to redeem it, but I can't help but sell it? The more Liu Zhenzhen listened, the more funny he felt.
"Richard, legally, that's exactly what happened." Helen said.
Vieri and the musk people looked at Liu Zhenzhen with all their eyes.
"Damn!" Liu Zhen scolded.
"I have to think of a way, human beings have always coveted the glandular incense on the musk people, and a hundred musk people mean countless gold coins to them." Vieri said.
"The kingdom is now at war with the desert humans, and the Sherpa Merchants' weapons workshop is exactly what the kingdom desperately needs, and we need to take these factors into account." Helen said.
"Whoever asks about the musk people in the future will say that they are the House centaurs." Liu Zhenzhen said: "The brand of slaves on their foreheads is covered by tattoos for me, and my skull and pig's head are tattooed. ”
"Boss" Vieri moved the post.
"Don't talk nonsense, Vieri, you suffer a little, go and interrogate the three Green Goblin shamans at once, and ask me how many bandits and robbers have gathered in Razor Mountain, and when they will attack us. Don't kill these three Green Goblins, I'll keep them useful. By the way, I'll go sleep for a while, and the rest of the militia will hurry up and go to bed. There are four Quink sentries on the corner tower, strictly monitoring the surrounding movements, and if any robbers are coming, they will immediately report to me. Liu Zhenzhen clapped his hands, "All these trophies are moved to my cave." ”
"Give us honey, sir." Several halflings staggered over.
"It's all for you." Liu Zhenzhen laughed and waved his hand.
"Give me the blood of the Monster, sir." When the witch doctor Nostradamus saw it, he also came over.
"Get out."
The witch doctor's scolded neck shrank, looking at Liu Zhenzhen's distant back, and he couldn't figure out where he had offended this lord.
