Volume 10 The Roar of the Raging Dragon Chapter 4 The Slave Trader
When the battle music of swords and banners began to play in the harbor of Rhino Point Bay, the sky tore open the gray curtain, and the light pierced the thin clouds and pierced the weak waters, the sharpness and hardness of metal. γFengyun Reading Network.γ
The clear sky of Langcher is like the favor of the Lord, and it is also blessed over the Banaro Islands, and the blood becomes a sacrifice, and the killing becomes a hymn.
In this long-abandoned port, the five large ships anchored here have already pulled up their sails, ready to pull anchor and go to sea at any time to embark on the journey again. A sturdy weapon restorer was sitting on the deck, carefully examining a shield that had been worn out last night, and beside him were placed strange tools that even alchemists dazzled, and for the weapons engraved with runes, they patiently wiped the blood and filth that hindered the elemental senses with a special cotton cloth, and then splashed it with water over and over again, then carefully pondered it little by little with the drill and hammer in their hands, and finally smeared it with the characteristic oil and secret wax, and when it was all over, the sun shone brightly, and the glittering light was dazzling, sliding over the steel shield as if it had just been createdγ
The weapon restorer nodded, obviously satisfied with his workmanship, but when he saw that there were dozens of identical shields and hundreds of blunt blades with gaps around him, he couldn't help but curse, took out the polishing stone, and vented his anger into these weapons.
And in the cabin, Luo Lan looked at the magic map and was stunned, he set off from Rhino Horn Bay, and from the Banaro Islands to the Nanfeng Islands, he just walked a corner, and the wonderful thing is that he faintly felt that it was also a corner of his life. Darkness and light. The two are not completely independent, but mutually inclusive and contradictory, and along the way, he discovers that it only takes a few clever curves to connect them and draw an unbelievable circle.
Thinking of this, he showed a rather touching smile, of course. To others, the pastor's smile at this moment is unfathomable.
"If it goes well, at three hourglasses, we will be able to take the small island in the southeast. β
Looking at Luo Lan's confident face, Alexander couldn't help but remind him, "Friend, are you too optimistic, the three hourglasses are barely enough for us to sail there, and there are only about two thousand harpies who died here. According to our prior judgment, this is only about half of the total number of Harpy settlements, and if they were completely entrenched on that small island, we are afraid that they will have to experience an inevitable fight. β
"Hehe," Luo Lan smiled, he turned around, and blinked. "Friend, my optimism is justified, do you remember the Harpy Chief who attacked us just now?"
"Oh?" Alexander, stunned, then shook his head, "Even if there is no settlement chief, but don't forget, friend, we took advantage of the weather and terrain last night to bear such a fruitful result by surprise, but today, all this has gone with the wind and rain." If you want to create the same miracle again, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it. β
"Haha," Luo Lan laughed out loud and slapped Alexander's arm and said, "Friend, you are very smart and talented, but sometimes, pay attention to the hidden information behind things, they will tell you a lot of unknown details. β
"The details?" said Alexander pondered for a moment. He glanced at Luo Lan deeply and said, "Since you are so sure, then I can only come up with two answers, one is that there are no more harpies on the island who can fight, and the other is that the combat effectiveness of these harpies is vulnerable." β
"That's right!" Luo Lan raised his hand and applauded. Smiled: "It's certain that there are harpies on the island. But did you notice, the harpies who fought against us were very strong. And most of them are males......"
Alexander's heart moved, and he immediately grasped a clear vein, and all his doubts were solved, and his eyes shone brightly.
"The Harpys are a matriarchal tribe, and females are an indispensable fighting force, but don't you think it's strange that all of them are males here, except for the Harpy chieftain?
"Is it the spawning period?"
Alexander blurted out, but he immediately felt a little incredible, obviously dissatisfied with this conclusion, shook his head, and said: "Friend, your thinking is too wild and too bold. β
"No, I have made such a judgment for good reason, friend, have you noticed that there are only a thousand harpies attacking the harbor of Rhino Point Bay each time, but they are divided into two times a day, why is that? According to the number of harpies here, it is only half, and the distance from the Banaro Islands to Rhino Point Bay is not far, so why should they leave half of it? I think they do it deliberately to deal with emergencies, so what is it that deserves their caution?"
Luo Lan said with a smile, and then, he threw out another, more convincing reason, and said, "I checked, the set of magic resistance equipment on the Harpy Chieftain was enough for her to calmly escape on the night of thunder and lightning, and then notify her people, but why didn't she leave? She wants to stop us, because she knows that the people on the South Wind Islands can neither escape nor fight!"
Alexander pondered for a moment, and when he found that this was indeed the only reasonable explanation, he sighed and said, "I have been persuaded by you again, friend, that you have always brought me unexpected surprises, and if this is the case, then the task that the monk will give us is actually almost complete." β
"Yes," Luo Lan touched his chin and said with a smile, "Actually, we can now put our minds at ease, drink a refreshing and throat-moistening drink in peace, enjoy the gentle service of the Esch slave, and then float there slowly, at that time, presumably the ships of the Monks' Guild should almost catch up......, right?"
That day. In order to repay Luo Lan's amnesty for his people, Matthews specially sent ten Esch slave girls, and he hadn't tasted the massage technique that was also quite popular among the nobles, well, why did his body ache a little......
If Mogo Watts and the others knew that this dangerous mission was actually just a walk around the nearby islands, and then arrived at the destination leisurely like looking at the scenery, they gave away the title of a chief monk because of this, I don't know how they would feel.
It's just that the beautiful scenery in his mind has not yet had time to become a reality. It was destroyed by a terrible hiss.
"Pastor, while searching the Harpy's cave, we caught a man who we suspect is a spy. There was a respectful voice outside.
"Oh, bring it in. β
In order to ensure that there were no fish that slipped through the net, Luo Lan ordered a thorough search of this mountain cliff, his original intention was just to find some valuable clues by the way, but he didn't expect to get an accident.
The door opened, and a man with his hands tied upside down stumbled in, then fell to his knees with a thud. As soon as he saw Luo Lan, he shouted anxiously: "My lord, don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm not a spy, I'm just a businessman in distress......"
"Shut up!"
Cedar interrupted him coldly, and the man immediately stopped his voice and looked over. When he saw the slashing sword on the front of his waist, he suddenly shuddered involuntarily.
"Merchant?" Luo Lan looked at the other party with interest, and looked up and down carefully, smiled, and said, "Untie the rope for him." β
This man showed a look of surprise and hurriedly thanked him, he was not very old, although his flaxen hair was messy, but it could be seen that he was usually in his early twenties after careful repair. Wearing a thin white shirt, which was covered with mud, if it weren't for the black and swollen eye circles, he would have looked quite handsome, but at the moment he was trembling all over his body, and his eyes were flashing, which undoubtedly weakened this advantage a lot.
"What are you doing on the island?" Luo Lan said lightly.
The young man looked grim, and the noblely dressed clergyman did not ask him how he got here, but what he was doing here, and it was clear that this was not one of those old and dizzy fellows who only focused on money. It's a person who doesn't fool around.
He bowed his head, made a standard greeting, and then said respectfully: "My lord, I am a merchant of the Tuya Business Alliance, because I encountered a storm on the way. So I fell on this island. I didn't expect to be caught by the Harpy and become a slave......" As he said this, he showed a gritted tooth expression. "Those damn inferior races, let me make them a delicacy that only humans can taste every day, ......every day"
It took the young man half an hourglass to fully narrate his miserable experience, and finally he cried, choked up, obviously more than **, and his soul was also traumatized, which made others sympathize.
"It seems that you know a lot about the Harpy," Luo Lan looked at him and asked with a smile, "You mean you're just here to do business?"
The young man's heart jumped, he dodged Luo Lan's gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate his heart and lungs, and barely squeezed out a smile, "I'm going to Xijiao Bay to do business." β
"yes, where else would you go. Luo Lan sighed and asked, "Are you really just a businessman?"
The young man's eyes rolled and he nodded, but Luo Lan's next words made him stunned.
"So you don't have any use for it?"
In an instant, the young man turned his mind to countless thoughts, and he hurriedly knelt down, and said with a sad face: "My lord, my lord...... I'll be honest. β
Luo Lan smiled lightly and didn't speak, but the smile was as terrifying as a demon when it fell on the young man, who lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I am indeed a merchant, but what I do is the trade of harpy slaves. β
"Huh?" Luo Lan only felt that things were a little interesting now, but he was surprised: "The eagle man is naturally unruly, how can he be willing to do such a business with you?"
The corners of the young man's mouth floated slightly with a hint of pride, and said, "My lord, if it is an adult harpy, of course it can't be, but if it is an egg that has not yet hatched, it can be cultivated from a young age, especially a female harpy, as long as they can afford to make them satisfied, our family ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly closed his mouth, obviously having scruples.
"Oh?" Luo Lan cast his gaze deeply, and said lightly: "I want to know, who does your family work for?"
The young man suddenly felt a huge pressure cast down, this force seemed to be able to snatch his life away at any time, making him tremble, and after a while, his lips moved, and he said in an inaudible voice: "Sin City......"
