Chapter Sixty-Nine: A Leisurely Afternoon
The day before yesterday, when Os, as the king of the dwarves, came to the royal city of Lordaeron with Gerbin and his brothers, he was not able to take a good look around the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I came here for business, the state of the gods was too high-profile and conspicuous, and everywhere he went, he would attract crowds of screams and onlookers, and Saidan Dasohan, who followed him from beginning to end, would not allow the king of dwarves to walk around casually.
To be honest, if you didn't know that this was Azeroth, you would have seen thousands of towers when you looked up; The magic towers scattered throughout the Dongcheng District exude a strong brilliance all the time; Occasionally, I saw the figures of other races; and the huge difference in the style of clothing, otherwise Os's first feeling is really that he has come to ancient Rome.
Oss and Chromie followed the flow of people with great interest, wandering around without a clear destination, their preferred goal was to taste a variety of flavorful snacks first. From the cheapest roasted quail, brioche bread from the Eastern Kingdoms, and ordinary fruits, to the extremely expensive exotic fruits from Northrend in the far north, and meats from Kalimdor in the Western Continent, the royal city has it all.
Oss's favorite drink is Highland goat's milk, paired with the dwarven spicy barbecue, all of which are flavors developed in the snowy cold Danmoro. However, Oss is not a picky eater, and he doesn't mind trying the double-headed dragon sausage from the Kalimdor continent, the grilled Kodo beast steak, and the spicy vulture.
Chromie is not a picky eater, at most she likes meat very much, of course, which is very much in line with her habits as a dragon. And now, she has only one favorite snack, and that is Xuemei from the far north of Northrend!
As a guardian dragon, although Chromie knew that the hometown of the guardian dragon was in Northrend, she also knew that there was a dragon sleeping temple in that place, and there was also a holy place for the five-colored dragon clan. However, due to the fall of the Black Dragon King Nesario and the War of the Dragons, the other four dragon kings have already led their respective clansmen to hide in Azeroth 10,000 years ago, and ordered that their clansmen should not go to Northrend again. Therefore, the young Chromie had never been to Northrend to see it, and it was impossible for him to eat Northrend's special food.
In the process of shopping, Oss unsurprisingly met goblins, and there were many of them. The wealthy goblins naturally have shops in the largest royal city of the human race, while the goblins who look more miserable can only carry big bags on their backs and sell them along the streets. Goblins' voices are distinctive, like their ears, thin and long, with green skin and small bodies, but they are not really thin.
Under Chromi's incomprehensible gaze, Oss himself went into battle and bargained for the price of a commodity and a goblin. But apparently he did not have this kind of talent, and after the local elf counted the hardships of the journey, the rarity of goods, and the exploitation of various forces, and so on, Oss immediately paid the bill softly.
Then, with a screeching expression of joy on the goblin's face, "Praise be to your generosity, my patron," and brought out a large number of similar goods, Oss realized that he had been deceived. As a result, Oss became more and more interested in how Fink managed to get the treasure from the goblins at a low price.
While observing the goblins, there are also some people who have caught the attention of Osdi, and that is the bodyguards of the rich goblins!
When Oss found a minotaur in a shop, he stepped forward to talk to him, but the minotaur did not respond, just lowered his head and glared at the 1.8-meter-tall Os. And the goblin owner of this shop, with a very unique vision, walked up directly and said, "Welcome, my guest." Would you like to talk to this bodyguard of mine? For just two gold coins, I promise he'll be able to speak! ”
Oss looked at this with a black line, and the goblin standing at his feet tugged at the corners of his mouth, and it still cost two gold coins. After the goblin got the gold coins, he threw one of the gold coins to the big man with a height of more than two meters, and then retreated with a grin.
However, just as Oss was about to ask something, the minotaur stamped his foot, sparks splashed on the stony ground, and shouted at Oss with a fierce face: "Get out of here, boy! I don't have much to say to you! ”
Fortunately, Oss has now sealed his ears and is listening to sounds with a neuronal suppressor! Otherwise, just this roar that contains power in close proximity will probably make his ears ring for a while!
At the door of the store, Chromie couldn't straighten up with a smile, "Bang! Bang! Bang! He slapped the wall of this shop, not at all aware of being a Terran magician at this time.
Oss subconsciously wanted to rub his ears, and when he felt the neuronal inhibitors, he remembered that he would not be affected. He looked at Chromie, who was laughing endlessly, and said, "Let's go, Chromie, it seems that not every Minotaur is a compassionate elder like Lord Kane. ”
Chromie didn't know Kane, and he hadn't heard of the name. But the reaction of the goblin boss and the minotaur is very different.
The goblin boss's mind changed and changed in a matter of minutes. At first, he asked Oss for two gold coins, and Oss didn't hesitate to take them, and he regretted asking for a low price. However, when Oss was yelled at, not only was the person completely fine, but he didn't use this to make trouble, but he actually planned to leave directly, and the goblin boss regretted it a little, afraid that he would look away and provoke the wrong people.
The Minotaur was only surprised, and also found that Oss was yelled at by him, and it was completely fine. When he heard Kane's name come out of Oss's mouth, he couldn't stand: "Boy, who did you just say!" ”
Oss smiled back at the minotaur and did not reply. As for the majestic figure of the Minotaur and his fierce gaze, that did not scare him.
The Minotaur's steps were large and heavy, and he took a step forward, and before he could say more, the goblin boss smashed the Minotaur's ankle hard and interjected, "Dear Lord, are you talking about the great chief of the Minotaur tribe, His Excellency Kane Bloodhoof?" ”
"You know." Oss turned around and asked with interest, "Which consortium do you belong to?" ”
"I am a member of the Hot Sand Foundation, and I respect my customers."
"Oh." Oss raised his voice and said in a pinched tone, "No wonder, Gazruwe is said to be very close to the Minotaurs. ”
The goblin's eyes became a little suspicious, and he asked rhetorically, "Do you know our leader?" ”
"Who knows?" Oss shrugged mysteriously and left the shop with Chromie.
The minotaur wanted to stop again, and the goblin boss had to go to great lengths to grab the mane on the leg of the minotaur's bodyguard. After seeing the two of them leave, he said to the bodyguard: "Lord Gazruvi has been in charge of the business of the Kalimdor continent, and almost no Terrans know his name, let alone be interested in his deeds. This person is not simple, don't be troublesome, we are just businessmen! ”
After leaving the goblin shop, Oss and Chromie visited the toy store, clothing store, trinket store, and so on. Not only did the two pick out a lot of favorite things, but they also bought a lot of gifts to take back to their families and friends.
During this time, the two also found a pet shop called "Happy Play". Chromie wasn't very interested in the shop's pets, but Os was curious about kittens, dogs, piglets, and even mice and cockroaches that could cast magic and understand human speech.
It's a pity that raising magical pets requires a lot of energy and time, and the tacit understanding between the owner and the pet is not something that can be established simply. And what Oss lacks most now is time, and a leisurely afternoon like today may not be available in the future.
So, although he wanted to raise a cheetah cub with a smart and intelligent eyeball, and full of human flavor, Oss eventually gave up.
At this time, the sun had already set in the west, and the black night was drawn up to the sky. In the royal city of Lordaeron, the lights of various colors shine brightly, indicating that it is another night coming.
Oss and Chromie find a bar where they plan to settle for dinner. The two, who had never been in contact with this kind of occasion at all, planned to take a look at what the adventurers of Azeroth were like.
The two pushed the door open, and it seemed that the bar was doing good business, and the hall was eighty percent full. It's just that this bar is not tidy, it looks a little messy, and the alcohol is overwhelming. And as the two walked in, the originally noisy and enthusiastic atmosphere in the hall suddenly became strange and dull, and a pair of eyes were all staring at Oss and Chromie.
A voice sounded: "Yo, I said, who are you?" Let me guess, it's the aristocratic young master and young lady who entered the wrong house, haha! ”
"Hahaha!" "Haha!"
Laughter and whistles abounded, and the bar suddenly became noisy again.
Oss had to admire the man who had just spoken, his eyes sharp. When he came in, he found that he and Chromie were indeed out of place with the grade and style of this bar.
Oss secretly sighed, coughed lightly with the power of the earth, and after the people in the hall were quiet again, he said loudly to the people who had spoken before, "Ahem! You've got a sharp eye, warrior! But we're not in the wrong room, we're here to hear from you about your adventures! I've paid for tonight's drink, and I wish you all a great time! ”
The cheers and whistles rang out again, and the atmosphere in the hall was three times more enthusiastic than before Oss entered the house! A big man with a good body first applauded Os, then slapped the wooden tabletop, laughed and shouted: "Gramp, this young master said you are a warrior!" Warrior! In addition to your thief eyes, you also have a day of being praised! Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death! ”
The owner of the bar, a middle-aged fat man, was busy in the kitchen, but when he heard the commotion, he immediately changed his clothes and returned to the front to serve Oss and Chromie. He led Oss and Chromie to an empty seat, and wiped and wiped it with a greasy rag, but there were still stains on the wooden tabletop.
Oss didn't care, patted his boss on the shoulder and prepared to sit down. Chromie motioned for Oss to wait, and with a wave of his little hand, a bronze halo wrapped the two meters square, and after the halo disappeared, the table, chair, and floor immediately became clean as new.
Chromie's hand once again drew a burst of shouts and whistles in the bar hall. After the two sat down, some people came over one after another to toast and clink glasses to express their gratitude. Of course, there are many people who enjoy this rare free for themselves, but there are also people who are not used to seeing Oss as if he was on top and have to charter the venue, so they choose to leave the bar.
Finally, two young men with long bows, seven or eight points of resemblance, brown hair, and leather armor, came to Oss with wine glasses.
After Oss clinked glasses with the visitor with juice, the two young men actually put down their glasses and did a aristocratic etiquette together!
Then, the young man, who looked a little older, introduced himself: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Excellency. My name is Nathanos Mares, and this is my brother Ruith Mares. We are from the kingdom of Alterac, the territory of Nanhai Town, which belongs to the Barov family, and the Maris family. ”
