Chapter 7: The Witcher
Since Moss City did not inspect caravans in the past, the smugglers were not prepared.
"Who is the manager of the caravan?"
"It's me."
The merchant hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked out.
"Name?"
"Qingyun"
The captain of the garrison looked at the wooden box in the merchant's hand and asked:
"What is this?"
"Oh, this is my gift to a friend!"
"Open it and take a look!"
The merchant opened the box, and inside were two beads made of gold.
The captain of the garrison swallowed his saliva as he saw it.
"Check!"
He shouted to the soldiers in the back.
"What's the matter, brother?"
Qingyun walked up to the soldier commander, and several gold coins were silently stuffed into his hands.
"This is an order from the princess, issued not long ago."
The soldier said, counting the gold coins.
"Princess?"
"Well, what do you say that the slave trade must be severely punished."
"Oh, thank you!"
After listening to him, looking at the box in his hand, Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the orc hiding in his convoy, since it is coming to the human country, these swordsmen must have a way to deal with it.
The soldiers checked quickly, and in a short time only the last box remained.
The Soldier Commander opens the box.
"Huh?"
"...... this?"
Qingyun was shocked, he won't show his stuffing, right?
Hurry forward.
"Isn't this the newest armor underwear from Nebula Firm, I heard from a friend that wearing armor won't hurt at all!"
The captain excitedly picked up a piece of clothing from a box, and this was the greatest wish of a man like him who wore armor all day long.
However, the effect of this thing is directly proportional to the money, and it is ridiculously expensive - it costs 4 gold coins for one piece!
You must know that he only earns 2 silver coins a week, and he only earns 1 gold coin in five weeks.
"Brother, if you like it, I'll give it to you"
Qingyun smiled, but his eyes were fixed on the clothes in the box, and between the clothes, a small clump of golden hair was revealed.
Sure enough, there's a half-orc inside!
What ethnicity is it? Blonde hair......
Genie?
Half-orcs do not refer to special humans who only have humanoid features but also have the characteristics of beasts, but generally refer to magical beasts that can transform into humans and have intelligence.
Half-orcs are naturally more talented than humans, and the comprehensive strength of the country they build is also stronger than that of humans, and their nobles don't know how many treasures they have!
There have been examples of people who have facilitated the descendants of orc nobles to enter the human country for training, and obtained thousands of gold coins afterwards.
Of course, because of the longer history, humans also have things that are more advanced than them - magic, martial arts, forging............
It is the technology superior to other races that has allowed the human nation to exist until now, and it has been in a stalemate with the orcs until now.
But I don't know how long it will last, and the orcs have long known about this and have begun to steal human technology.
"What are you looking at?"
"Oh, nothing, think of something."
Qingyun immediately covered a piece of clothing with his hand over the gold.
"Release! Hahaha...... Thank you, if there is anything in the future, just look for me! My name is Wang Qi! The soldier chief waved his hand to the city wall, got the clothes, and the soldier leader Wang Qi was very happy.
The gates opened with a low roar.
"Okay, then please."
After speaking, Qingyun got into the carriage.
The caravan entered the city.
…………
Unwrapping the gold paper on the Seven Dawn Crystals, two crystal beads of seven different colors shimmered in the wooden box.
With a look of contempt, Qingyun looked at the distant city gate behind him.
"Agreed, it's yours, Magician Zhao Wei........."
took out one, and Qingyun handed it to him with some pain.
Zhao Wei snatched it up, this valuable treasure is his own!
Wiped it and put it in your pocket.
He looked at the box in Qingyun's hand again, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.
Qingyun and he looked at each other.
"Alas~"
Qingyun shook his head with some pity.
Zhao Wei was a little puzzled, but immediately, a crossbow was pointed at his head, which was engraved with complex magic patterns.
The person holding the crossbow is Qingyun.
"I advise you not to have crooked thoughts, just be content, if it weren't for your sake of saving my life, this price would be enough to hire a sixth-order mage! Do you have the share of a fourth-order mage? ”
A fierce light flashed in Qingyun's eyes, as if he had changed from before.
When he first met Zhao Wei, he thought that this person was good, but he didn't expect that he couldn't withstand the temptation of money.
Because he did not have any talent, as the eldest son, he did not have much status in the family, and now he could only rely on buying people to increase the possibility of inheriting his father's property.
He originally wanted to take Zhao Wei back to Wang Duqing's house, he had a good talent and could be trained to be his guard, but now everything is impossible.
"Get out of the carriage!"
Zhao Wei was a little stunned for Qingyun's completely different appearance from before, but then laughed again.
"Hahaha"
"What do you think you are? A garbage with no cultivation talent, if you don't give me the other Qiyao Demon Crystal in your hand, I'll kill you!" ”
Zhao Wei has endured this ordinary person for a long time, and an ordinary person dares to call him along the way because he has money.
You must know that he is a fourth-order magician at a young age, and he is about to be admitted to the magic academy in the royal capital, and his future is limitless.
If it weren't for the sake of the Seven Yao Demon Crystals, he would have wanted to kill him a long time ago.
"What? What did you say? You know the ............ in my hand."
Hearing Zhao Wei poke at his sore spot, he couldn't help but become furious.
But before he could finish speaking, a fireball gathered and formed in Zhao Wei's hand, and in the small space of the carriage, the fireball sent out a heat wave and rolled.
Qingyun clasped his hand, a black shadow flashed across the crossbow, and the fireball in Zhao Wei's hand also shot out.
At the same time, a faint barrier appeared in front of the two of them, but the colors were different, Zhao Wei's was red, and Qingyun was transparent.
The transparent barrier dissipated along with the fireball, but the red barrier didn't move.
It's just that after the enchantment, there is a small hole in Zhao Wei's chest and heart.
Even the carriage behind him had a small hole, from which a pillar of light was cast onto the blood hole behind Zhao Wei.
"How could it be ............?"
"Secret weapon? ……… You're an ordinary person...... How can there be such a ............?"
Watching Zhao Wei fall slowly, Qingyun put the crossbow back.
"If you don't see something, it's not a pity to die!"
Well?
He was about to sit back when a mass of elements converged on the ground again, no!
It's Zhao Wei's hand!
Blue icicles pierced the air and burst out, a halo of crystal blue light flickering on it.
It is a trace of the purest ice element, and the surrounding air seems to be frozen, fourth-order top-level magic!
I didn't expect this Zhao Wei to give him such a big gift before he died!
Click! Click! Click!
All three layers of transparent enchantment were shattered.
The icicle pierced into the final layer of the barrier, reaching halfway to its length and stopped.
At this time, the tip of the cone was less than half a meter in front of him.
However, the fourth-order top-level magic was so simple, and the cracks spread out on the ice picks.
Boom!
Huge power shook the clouds into the air.
In the convoy of horse-drawn horses moving forward, a figure flew out of it and slammed into the wall of the house on the side of the road.
The attracted mercenaries poured up, the captain of the mercenary team acted the fastest, and the fourth-order swordsman stepped on the wind.
"How's it going? Young Master Qing? The swordsman Mo Yuan looked at him covered with ice, and was a little worried, once they protected people and died, they would be in vain.
"It's okay...... Qingyun said tremblingly, fortunately, Zhao Wei's bastard used ice-based magic, and he also had an ice-based element secret weapon on his body.
Slowly stand up and pat the ice slag off your body.
He sat back down on the stairs in front of the house.
Let me take a moment......
"Someone's hijacking!"
As soon as I sat down, a loud shout came from behind.
Qingyun was stunned for a moment and forcibly got up.
"Quick, pass!"
