Chapter 998: The Defeated Soldiers....
Sky.... It doesn't seem to mean to light up.....
David estimated that almost twelve hours had passed since the vision began yesterday, and it was already noon in normal times, but it was still pitch black.
The rich black color flowed through the sky like a liquid, and not a single light penetrated through it, and the darkness seemed to describe the present.
However, at this time, the residents of Kate City were not as panicked as yesterday, and even David could see that many people began to try to walk on the streets, and many shops began to try to open.
More than the fear of the unknown, it is greed that drives people to action.
All the goods on the street are rising in price crazily, especially wheat, the price can be described as skyrocketing, the last person you bought wheat here he roared ten Gangwu coins a catty, that person gritted his teeth and bought, and in the face of the next customer trader dared to yell fifteen Gangwu coins a catty.
By the time David came to the market to buy some goods, the wheat had risen to fifty steel dollars a catty.
It is equivalent to a fifty-fold increase in food prices in one day!!
Doomsday theory was preached everywhere in the streets and alleys, and many people were advocating to store food quickly, which made people panic, but in fact, David found through observation that it was the merchants who really advocated doomsday theory.
They encourage others to buy material reserves, but they themselves frantically sell supplies, and it turns out that those who spread rumors the most are actually the least believers, and I have to say that human beings are really very magical creatures.
After walking around, David found a grain shop with a price of seventy steel coins and a pound and began to line up, so it was not that he had to pick the expensive one, but that he felt that the money was of little use now, and it was a rational choice to exchange all the money for supplies, and this shop had the least number of people in line, and he was most likely to get rid of the money in his hand completely.
If the orc is right, then I'm afraid these currencies will soon become invalid......
"Lord David?"
Just when David finally got his seat, the wheat seller suddenly looked at David in a daze, and David also recognized the other party at once, isn't this Harry, the servant in charge of purchasing in the Earl's Palace?
"Why are you here?" David frowned, looked at the shop full of old grain, and said quietly: "Are you selling the grain of the Earl's Mansion without permission?" ”
"No, no......" Harry quickly shook his head, "My lord, don't talk nonsense, how dare I do that?" This is what the Earl asked me to sell......"
"At this time, Lord Earl actually let me sell grain?" David was stunned: "Isn't it supposed to harvest grain?" ”
"What kind of grain do you collect?" Harry pouted and said, "The Earl's Court has stored so much old grain, and the harvest grain has been cheap in the past two years, and I am worried that there is no place to sell it, so why don't you hurry up and stock it if this happens?" As Harry said this, he suddenly glanced at David and said cautiously, "Your Excellency..... You don't really believe that the end of the world is coming, do you? ”
David: "........"
"You don't think it's like the end of the world?" David pointed to the sky.
Harry pouted: "It's probably some mage master who is doing tricks again, it looks bluffing, if it's the end of the world, why didn't anything happen?" ”
David was silent for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Sell me two hundred pounds, ...... first"
Originally, I was going to exchange all the money for food, but now I suddenly feel a little uncertain, after all, whether the orc's words are reliable or not remains to be said, and you have to leave some money, right?
Woo~~Woo!
Just as David was about to load the food, suddenly a strange and familiar chirp resounded throughout Kate City.
This is.....
Kate tightened, this is the sound of a war horn!!
"I want a thousand pounds, put it on me immediately!!"
Harry: ".........."
-----------------------
"Uncle Orc..... What kind of person was my mother? In the basement, after a period of contact, Sanny found that the orc seemed to be easier to contact than expected, so she began to take the initiative to communicate.
Brother Dog: "Uh...... I'm not old, don't call me uncle ......"
Sanny: "But aren't you over a hundred years old?" ”
Brother Dog: "We orcs have a long lifespan, more than a hundred years old, which is the same as your human twenties. ”
"You're a liar!" Shanny muttered, "I've read the Antura journal, the average lifespan of orcs is not high, and many goblins only live at thirty-five years old!" ”
"That's an inferior orc!" Brother Dog said righteously: "We are all high-level orcs with golden blood, the Glory Clan, how can you compare that inferior goblin to my hell roar?" ”
"Oh..... That's it..... Golden blood? Is your blood golden? ”
"Just an analogy......."
"Then why do many of you like to call it Roar?"
Brother Dog's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't say that he was the second middle school, right? So he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Didn't you just ask about your mother?" ”
"yes, yes, what kind of person is my mother?" Little Shanny was easily diverted from the subject.
"Very strong and beautiful woman......" Brother Dog pretended to look like a memory, and then looked at Shanny: "Very similar to you!" ”
"Really?" Shanni looked at the gentle eyes of the orc, and suddenly twisted embarrassedly, and her heart was happy, except for Uncle David, few people directly praised her for her beauty.
"That.... So how did you know my mother? ”
Brother Dog: "It was a dark and windy night....."
Brother Dog suddenly took out all kinds of bloody jokes from the TV series in his previous life and made up a story, only to bluff the little girl for a moment, and listened to it with great interest, which made David, who came back with food, speechless for a while.
I always felt that if this guy wasn't wearing an orc skin, he thought the other party would be very suitable for eating the bard's bowl of rice.
"Uncle David is back?" Shanni patted the stone slab next to her excitedly: "Brother Orc is telling his mother's story, come and listen to it!" ”
Orc brother?
David's face darkened, and he suddenly regretted letting Miss Sunny stay with this orc, and always felt that this guy had something wrong with Miss Sunny in his attitude.
But for a long time, Sunny may have to entrust this guy......
"Is something wrong?" Brother Dog was very sensitive to find that something was wrong with David.
"There's a trumpet in the city, I've got to go and see!"
"The sound of a trumpet?" Brother Dog's expression tightened: "Do you have to go?" Isn't it good to hide here? ”
"You'll have to go over and see what's going on, won't you?" David smiled and said, "No matter how you say it, you've eaten the food of other earls for so many years, you have to talk about professional ethics, don't you?" ”
Dog: ".........."
"Uncle David, don't you go, okay?" Sanny said worriedly.
"It's okay......" David walked over and gently rubbed Shanny's head: "Uncle David, I'm fine, just go over and take a look, if something really happens, I must be the first to run back!" ”
"Poof......" Sanny suddenly smiled, "That.... Then you've got to run faster....."
Dog: "........"
A few people didn't see it, in the distance, the scroll that was crumpled by Brother Dog was moving its position strangely, and an eye appeared in the center of the scroll, quietly watching Brother Dog and his gang!!
---------------------------------
At the same time, at the city gate, the soldiers on guard looked at the regular armed knights who were dense like a tide, and suddenly their hands with weapons began to tremble.
After all, it is a southern soldier who is accustomed to a comfortable life, where has he experienced the murderous spirit of such a regular army?
The knight led by the leader rode the regular dragon horse of the empire and slowly stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "I, it is the guardian of the Blue Dragon City, Luke. Konstantin, now urgently requisition the city of Kate, and ask your city lord to open the city gates!! ”
