Chapter Ninety-Four: The Other Realm Joins Together
Yuan Di looked at the four big characters, and the corners of his eyebrows trembled slightly.
"Hema Fresh? Is this still the earth? ”
Yuan Di felt as if he had grasped something, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the shadow that was still following him.
Bai Yu also seemed to see those words, and also frowned and looked at Yuan Di.
"Looking at her like this, doesn't she know?"
Yuan Di was a little puzzled.
"What's the matter, Young Master Yuan Di?" Tin Rod looked at Yuan Di who stopped with some confusion.
Yuan Di waved his hand again and again: "It's nothing, nothing." "Walk a few steps briskly and catch up with the tin rods.
Once you enter the market, you will find a stark contrast to the clutter outside.
First of all, there are only a handful of gnolls who can enter the valley, which is just the opposite of the outside of the market, looking at Yuan Di, he only saw a few tall gnolls appearing in the venue, and judging from the decorations on these bodies and the entourage following behind them, they must also be the chiefs and priests of the tribe, and their status is respected.
It's just that even if you are a chief or a priest, Yuan Di found that when these gnolls meet other races on the road, they will first take a half step back and make way for them, and they will bend slightly to show respect when they meet some high-status characters.
"Why are the gnolls in Jackal Valley so humble? It's completely different from their counterparts on the outside! ”
Yuan Di asked the tin stick with some confusion.
"Stupid, stupid." Donna, who was walking in front, looked back at Yuan Di and smiled, "Uncle Bai has told you so much. ”
Donna stopped and turned to Yuan Di and explained:
"Don't forget that the jackals here were exiled here as criminals, and the food in the valley is simply not enough for more than 200,000 gnolls, not counting the large and small forces behind the intricate relationships, relying on the land and prey in the valley, it is far from enough to eat with so many mouths."
The girl looked at the stall next to her as she spoke:
"But most of the materials imported into the valley by the town hall are guarded by our forces: the food depends on human orcs, the weapons rely on us dwarves and elves, most of the alchemy potions come from the goblin gnomes under the half-dragon people, as well as the spell props made by your lichs, the sweep-away secrets made by demons, and even the elemental creatures, I remember that there seem to be a few representatives from the valley who have intervened."
Yuan Di nodded, but there were still some that he didn't understand.
"Are these gnolls so obedient? After all, there are also a lot of them, and there is no shortage of a large number of masters. If you really join forces to monopolize all the ruins in the valley, you will also lose a lot, right? ”
When the girl heard Yuan Di say this, she rolled her eyes at him:
"Then don't let them unite together, how do you think the tribe of more than 10,000 people that was thrown in at the beginning split into dozens of clans now? Besides, it doesn't matter if these dogs really join forces, it's a big deal to kill them all and change some cannon fodder. ”
The girl lost her previous frolicking at this time, and looked at Yuan Di with a rare seriousness and said:
"You seem to have forgotten that these gnolls only play the role of cannon fodder in the valley, and the last thing that the Holy City lacks is cannon fodder, even these big and small forces, who seem to be showing off their might in front of these gnolls, are not the cannon fodder in the hands of those bigwigs outside?
He's dead? Then send another batch in, just in time to dispose of a batch of garbage. ”
Yuan Di was a little stunned when he heard this, and some words were blocked in his heart and couldn't speak.
He subconsciously glanced at the tin rod beside him, and the dwarf who was swallowing the sky and the earth happened to turn his head to meet Yuan Di's eyes.
"Hey, Master Yule, don't look at me like that." The old man took two mouthfuls of the tin rod in his hand before he slowly spoke, "I am cannon fodder, but I will not be given up at will." ”
The old dwarf pointed to himself, nodded at the two young ladies in front of him a little presumptuously, hesitated for a moment and then said:
"You also see that most of the people in the village are ordinary humans, and there are almost no pure dwarves. Even me and the two young ladies don't have much of the bloodline of the Longbeard Clan in our bodies. ”
Tin Stick met acquaintances, and after greeting each other, he continued:
"Although those humans in the village will definitely be loyal to us, they are not our dwarven clan after all, so they can be regarded as cannon fodder sent to the valley by Lord Sainthammer.
As for me? Although it is not like the two young ladies from the lineage, after all, I have dwarf blood in my body, so when it comes to it, I can abandon everything here and escape, but I will definitely be reprimanded and punished when I return.
But to say how noble my status is is to deceive myself, after all, as a criminal slave, I also participated in the rebellion that my family started at the beginning, so it is understandable to be exiled here, and I can't complain about others. ”
At this point, a hint of anger rose on the old dwarf's face:
"Don't look at me as exiled, the original rebellion also failed, but I still don't agree with the way the clan did it! Why put sugar in tofu brain? That's heresy! Only the release of halogen is orthodox!! ”
The old man's last words were shouted out by him hoarsely, causing many people in the market to turn their heads to look here, but after seeing that it was a tin rod that was yelling and screaming, some people laughed and passed, and some people turned their heads away with disdain, but some people still looked at Yuan Di and his party with malice.
Feeling a little embarrassed, the relieved tin rod arched his hands apologetically and spun around, and then pulled Yuan Di and Donna away quickly.
While strolling around, the tin rod kept explaining the goods to the three of them. Some of the things seem to be quaint and atmospheric, and they seem to have something to do with the ruins hidden in the valley, but they are actually fakes made by the old two days ago, and some of the stones seem to be unremarkable and can be seen in the distance, but they are likely to be the part that fell from a certain statue.
A few people walked closer to the center of the market, there were several stalls connected together, and the front was extremely hot, representatives of various races were crowded together, Yuan Di and the others were a little curious, and they also squeezed over, and a burst of cries came out of it.
"Seats are limited, first come, first served! The ruins are scarce, and the group took a photo! ”
"Don't miss it when you pass by, form a group to use the latest puppets, as long as 60,000, you can enjoy the top puppets for a day!"
"Is there a baby to fight the altar, I only use one day a week, and the other days are up to you!"
As if infected by the heat in front of her, Donna took her sister into the crowd with some excitement, leaving Yuan Di and the tin stick out of the crowd.
"。。。。。。 this?"
Before Yuan Di could finish asking, the old dwarf explained:
"It's all a bunch of guys with swollen faces and fat people. Each force has performance requirements when entering the valley, and every month they have to report the situation inside to the outside, and those small forces who don't find enough relics will form a group to go to a ruins to take pictures, and then send the images out, and their performance this month will be satisfied. ”
"And who bought the puppet?"
"That's not buying, it's renting." Tin Rod, pointing to a metallic behemoth not far away, said, "Each force has to show off its muscles when recruiting its own gnoll cannon fodder, otherwise why would people sell you and not sell it to others?" This puppet is part of the strength, only the owner who is not bad for money can afford to use this kind of thing, but it is too expensive to buy this in full, so some forces rent the puppet for ten days and a half months, which is cheap and face-saving! ”
"Then why do I see that it says sixty-eight thousand days?" Yuan Di was full of curiosity.
"The starting time for the puppet is ten days, and if it is short, those dwarfs will not rent it, but what about those forces? It's a group rental for ten days, you are a day, I am a day, anyway, everyone is going out in a suit, and I don't plan to really use this thing to dig up the ruins. ”
"Now, what about the altar? Can this also be grouped? ”
"Yes, why not? This thing is made for a week and it is used once, and it is a waste of time to be empty for other times, and when the altar is built, the big guys above also ask for a lot, and the general materials are not good, so everyone will spell an altar out, you use it for a day, I use it for a day, except for the different numbers dialed, there is no difference to anything else. ”
"Is that okay?" Yuan Di was surprised, the underground world is actually popular to join a group? Who would dare to believe this.
"What's wrong with that? There are two small forces not far from our village, just two people, one force and one force, people still share the bed, you sleep in the east and I sleep in the west, no, right there, people's stalls are still put together, a stall, you use the left half pull, I use the half pull. ”
Yuan Di looked at the old man's fingers, and really saw this strange scene:
Behind a table sat two creatures, one with a face full of antennae, the other with a head full of pits. The two of them sat in a chair, half of them and half of me, two of them seemed to be wearing something resembling stockings, one of them reaching into one leg inside, and when one of the taller, tentacled creatures stood up, the other was forced to stand up as well.
"Why did he stand up too?"
"Why? If you don't stand up together, the stockings won't be torn! ”
