Chapter 503: Sharu's Choice

Full-level Black Iron players and Silver players have a lot of fun playing in the Death Desert.

And the orcs who they regarded as the biggest monsters and leeks were miserable......

Especially in the northeast of the Death Desert, close to the Orc tribes of the Black Mountain region.

With the news of all kinds of incredible operations of the elves, what are the desecration of gods, the capture of orcs as slaves, and the fact that they will eat even the corpses, etc., these orcs have almost reached the point of talking about elves and changing color......

Of course, the last one to eat something is completely a rumor.

No matter how heavy the players are, it's not like that.

It's just because the corpses of the orcs that have been killed will disappear, and the players are keen on barbecue, that it will be messed up.

Of course, for the half-orcs with a huge base, there are more than 2,000 elves who are full of elves who are doing things on the desert of death.

And more than 2,000 people, no matter what, can't shake the foundation of the orcs.

But even if the number of elves attacking is small, they can't resist them, like flies that can't be blown away, and they attack the orc tribe again and again......

It's fine if you're vigilant.

After a moment of relaxation, these elves will rush to the surface as if they were staring at a cracked egg.

Large tribes are fine, and many medium-sized tribes have disappeared like this.

Of course, since many players are already at the full level of Black Iron, it is no longer helpful for them to gain more experience to level up.

At most, you can choose to store it, and you can upgrade it directly after the silver rank is opened, or if you die and fall off, you can temporarily make up for it.

Therefore, many players are more interested in the belongings of the orcs, as well as the materials traded by the orcs and the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and the labor value of the orcs themselves rather than killing them......

These things, to put it bluntly, can be turned into wealth.

And wealth often means equipment, which means the improvement of strength.

In fact, in a sense, this is really a mockery for orcs.

Once, the orcs captured the elves, except for Urrel's instinctive fear of the revival of the World Tree, mainly because the orcs sold the wealth brought by the elves......

But who would have thought that things would turn around one day.

Today they have become prey, and the former prey has become hunters.

The shock of this kind of spiritual impact is not for outsiders.

……

Dark Canyon, Rivinedell.

The orc Sharu slumped into the wheelbarrow, then put away the pickaxe and carefully pushed the cart out of the mine.

He has been a miner for more than half a month,

In the past half a month, he has worried, feared, and worried about the sudden revenge of the elves all the time.

But it turns out that these elves ...... It's really just that they need to mine.

Not only that, but despite the slave contract, these elves were not very interested in them at all.

These elves seem to care only about their strength.

Of course, Sharu doesn't understand that this is also because the appearance of the orcs really doesn't match the player's aesthetics......

Racially hostile, cold-looking, and not very strong, the only advantage is that it has a lot of strength.

Such a guy can only work hard as a slave for the player.

...... in this regard Shalu was very open-minded.

The elves were so ferocious that he still couldn't forget the demonic laughter they had when they slaughtered the orcs.

Compared to their people who died at the hands of the elves, Sharu already considered himself quite lucky.

It's better to die than to live......

Moreover, although it is said to be a living force, as long as they are obedient, these elves are also easier to speak.

At least...... Half-orcs who work as slaves will not be treated badly if they eat.

Even...... Sharu felt that the food provided by the elves was even better than that provided by the Death Desert!

It can only be said that after all, the Death Desert is too barren.

Although some extravagant furs and jewels are abundant there, food is quite scarce, and at best you will not die of hunger.

In the past, when the Elven Forest was still under the control of the royal court, the orcs could still live by hunting in the Elven Forest.

Although many orcs were not accustomed to the climate of the Elven Forest, coupled with the covert obstruction of human forces, the plan to migrate to the Elven Forest eventually failed, but at least there was a lot of food for them......

But now......

Orcs can only improve their lives by trading with humans, or simply by robbing the human kingdom to the east......

It can only be said that the elven forest where the players are located, the property is really different.

Rich to death.

In particular, players can also do magic, and many of them are also good at nature, which can greatly reduce the frequency of harvesting......

Although the influx of players in the open beta has made the food production of Elven Forest tight for a while, it is only for a while.

When many of the Open Beta players learned the magic of the natural attributes, they became druids and became interested in farming......

The food output of the Elven Forest is the price of cabbage again......

Throwing these to the orcs is already the most eye-catching for players.

That's just what Sharu doesn't know.

He pushed a wheelbarrow full of wheelbarrows and walked carefully along the mine road.

Today, he is still in a good mood.

Because he dug up a part of the bonanza and reaped a great harvest.

And the rewards and punishments of the elves are still very fair, if you mine more, not only will you be allocated more food, but also meat to eat!

Thinking of this, Sharu felt a little moist in his mouth again.

Although he was quite shocked by the fact that the elves also ate meat, he had to say...... These elves still have a good way of making meat.

In particular, the various spices in the meat are really delicious.

Of course, Sharu didn't know that the roast meat that the players provided to the orcs was originally leftover from the two-headed dragon......

With the proliferation of players, more and more players want to provide barbecue meat to Merrell and Tiberia in exchange for dragon scales and ambergris.

And even if the dragon's appetite is good, it can't stand the number of players, and in the end, even if the two-headed dragon is open to eat, there is often a leftover, and these residues, which used to be used as fertilizer, are now cheap orcs......

However, the remaining ambergris has naturally been carefully picked up by the players like a treasure.

Sharu walked slowly with a wheelbarrow.

And along the way, he could also see other orcs coming and going.

There were more orc miners here than there were when he first arrived......

Sharu felt that when his tribe had the most people, he probably didn't have as many orcs as there were in the entire Rivendell Mine Cave now.

I don't know about the elves...... How many orcs were captured as slaves.

However, although most of the orcs have not yet recovered from the collapse of their faith, their expressions are somewhat numb...... But the overall state is much better than Sharu imagined.

Not only that, but he also seemed to see some half-orcs, who seemed to be a lot fatter than half a month ago.

This discovery made his expression a little strange.

But it's understandable.

Although these elves kept them mining and mining, they didn't abuse them, and they didn't bother to take care of them at all except for coming to collect ores......

At the same time, the food is good......

Even in order for the orcs to have more strength to mine, the elves gave them plenty of food.

It is only meat that depends on the mining efficiency of the orcs as a reward.

But even so, the fact that there is enough food alone has improved the living conditions of some small tribes who have eaten the last meal but not the next......

So...... Some orcs who were originally malnourished because the tribe was too weak turned out to be fat.

Of course, the living conditions here only refer to the dietary conditions.

Sharu prefers the bright desert of death to the dark mines......

But the strong in this world are respected, and if you lose, you will be defeated, as a loser, it is already the biggest luck to be alive, and now to have such a day, Shalu already feels very lucky......

Sighing deeply, he quickened his pace and looked forward to today's roast a little more.

However, as he walked, he suddenly slowed down.

Because he suddenly noticed that in a mine cave on the side of the mine, there seemed to be more than a dozen orcs and humans faintly gathered, and they looked angry, as if they were discussing something......

It's these undead guys again.

Sharu shook his head.

Although the treatment provided by the elves was much better than expected, and although many orcs had lost their faith and could not return to the past, there were still many people who were unwilling to be trapped as slaves and wanted to escape.

In particular, there are not many elves guarding the half-orcs, and the shift system gives some people confidence.

Plus these elves seem to be quite lax.

They didn't seem to be worried about the orcs escaping at all, or they didn't have the consciousness at all.

Not to mention that they didn't send strong men to guard them at all, and the elves even put the iron pickaxe with a certain lethality in the hands of the orcs themselves......

And this, naturally, makes many people want to move.

Find a way to take down the elves and then run away?

Sharu shook his head.

Not to mention that they have been forcibly signed a slave contract, and if they resist, they will be severely attacked if they don't die, and even if they carry the backlash of the contract, Sharu doesn't think that those who want to escape will succeed.

"Escape? Impossible...... Because you don't know what it is to watch over us......"

Looking at the excited guys from afar, he shook his head and muttered to himself.

He had been in contact with Andris, a mid-level caravan leader of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and often asked for some news from the other party.

Andris once told him a secret about the elves......

It is said that during the underground war, the elves once sent a terrifying legendary monster - the Crypt Spider Mother.

After arriving in the mine, Sharu saw many crypt spiders in the abandoned mine.

Combined with some of the secret information that Andris told him, and thinking about the laxity of the elves, and the conversation of the elves that he overheard while transporting minerals, Shalu knew that the real existence of the guards was not these elves at all!

Guarding them are the crypt spiders they always see in the abandoned mines, the presence behind the crypt spiders...... It's that terrifying monster whose strength has reached the legendary level!

And what he overheard that day was that the elves were complaining, as if a lot of the ore they dug had to be handed over to the Crypt Spider Mother as the cost of guarding the orcs.

"Legendary Monsters......"

Sharu shivered, feeling his scalp tingle.

Whenever he thought that there might be such a being secretly peeping at him, he felt uncomfortable all over.

At the same time, I also feel that the heritage of the elf clan is too terrifying......

"A bunch of poor worms."

Glancing at the men again, Sharu continued on his way.

Those orcs weren't from their tribe, and he didn't care if they lived or died......

That's the case between the orc tribes, in fact, they are not united at all.

If they were really united, with their racial combat power, even if they were weak, they would not be able to be trapped in the Death Desert alone.

You know, the nomadism of the half-orcs and the blue star is still somewhat similar.

And the nomadism of Blue Star, a certain Mongolian Khan swept through Asia and Europe with only 200,000 iron horsemen after integrating the steppe.

Not only that, after knowing that there was a legendary demonic beast peeping in secret, Sharu didn't dare to have anything to do with these guys, and if he was considered to be a member of the same party after the accident, it would be over.

Shaking his head, Sharu continued on his way, finally walking out of the mine a few minutes later.

And as soon as he walked out of the mine, he saw the familiar elves.

Today, though, there seem to be more people outside the mine......

Sharu noticed that it wasn't just the elves, he had seen quite a few Dark Dwarves.

And the Dark Dwarves were talking and laughing with the elves......

Behind them, Sharu saw more than a hundred orcs.

These orcs were the same as when he first came to Rivendell, bound by ropes, staring blank and blank, as if they had just undergone a great mental blow......

And Sharu, who had already experienced it once, immediately knew that this should be a newly captured clan from the elves.

As for the empty gaze, it is estimated that they have also been forcibly erased of their faith.

But...... Sharu noticed that their expressions seemed to be more dazed than when they first arrived, as if their faith had collapsed even more, and they didn't know what they had been through......

At the same time, they also seem to be thinner than the people in the mines, and it seems that they have been specifically singled out.

For a moment, Sharu also felt that these elves were more awesome.

Seeing that the elves were communicating with the dwarves, Sharu hesitated for a moment, and instead of rushing forward, he waited for them to end from afar.

At the same time, the sound of the elves and the dwarves talking also echoed from the mine walls and reached Sharu's ears......

"Hahahaha! Brother Demacia, the half-orc slaves you provided last time were really good, I really didn't expect ...... You elves also have a day in the slave trade. ”

This is the Dark Dwarf.

"Hey, hey, brother, let's make money together! Today's batch of half-orcs is also good, you look at ......"

This is the grinning elf.

It was meant to sell these people to the Dark Dwarves......

Sharu's eyes were complicated, and he suddenly felt that he was lucky.

The underworld, where it's even more chaotic......

Selling there as a slave, he couldn't imagine it.

The communication between the elves and the dwarves continues.

Listening to the words of the elf named Demacia, the dwarf looked at the orc slightly and frowned slightly:

"It's good, but I feel a little worse in spirit, and I'm also relatively thin......"

"Hey! You don't know, brother! This is because these orcs are different from the previous batches sold to you, they have completely erased their faith, so they will be in a trance...... As for emaciation, that is also the sequelae of erasing faith! ”

The red-haired elf said excitedly.

"Is that so?"

The dwarf muttered.

"Yes."

The elf looked solemn.

Shalu: ......

He opened his mouth, feeling the elf in front of him refresh his cognition again.

This elf......

Don't you blush when you lie?

The trance-like gaze is indeed due to the erasure of faith, but the thinness ...... That's really because of personal issues.

It was clear that the elf was planning to sell the weak orcs to the dwarves.

The two exchanged for a while, and the dwarf was finally persuaded by the elves.

"Okay, Brother Demacia, how much are you going to ask for?"

The dwarf asked.

But this time, the elf suddenly shook his head and said with a grin:

"No, no, no...... I don't want money this time, I want to do some other business with my brother. ”

"What business?"

"Ahem, ahem...... I heard that the elder brother seems to have a business in the dark city-state...... That one...... I wonder if my brother can get some idols of the gods of darkness and shadows? That one...... The kind of ...... that has been worshipped"

Dwarf:......

"What do you want these things for?! Isn't Her Majesty Eve hostile to that one?! And so is the crown of the Grim Reaper! ”

The dwarf looked frightened and subconsciously took a step back.

"Ahem, ahem, naturally it's not enshrined, in short...... If you can, can you? I've heard that there are many small tribes of underground monsters in the area of the Dark City-State who believe in the gods of darkness and shadows, so I think it's okay to grab them from them...... They're weak anyway. ”

The elf said with a grin.

Dwarf:......

His expression changed several times, and finally he said:

"I ...... Try it, this thing is too sensitive, and only a trustless person like me who walks on the black market would dare to do this with you. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, happy to work together......"

The two exchanged for a while, and finally it was over.

And Shalu, who heard it all the way, became more and more dazed.

Genie...... What do you want the idol of the god of darkness and shadows for?

However, although he didn't know what the elf was thinking, his heart suddenly moved and he thought of something else.

I saw him look back at the mine, and his expression changed.

"Anyway...... You're going to fail...... too."

He muttered to himself.

Eventually, as if a decision had been made, Sharu gritted his teeth and pushed the cart forward.

When he came to the elf, he put on a smile and said:

"Elf-sama! This is the ore I dug today, please review! ”

And after speaking, he looked solemn again:

"And ...... I have some important information that I would like to report back to you. ”
