Chapter Seventy-Four: I've Never Been a Good Person
Even if the mess of the Harbinger was terrifying or disgusting, the pirates were able to clean up under the control of the High Elf warriors.
Other useful weapons were simply recovered, while the cold corpses were thrown directly into the sea by pirates. Dying in the belly of a fish is not an unacceptable way for a man who begs for a living at sea.
Of course, to avoid large carnivorous animals such as sharks that may be attracted by the smell of blood. Under the supervision of the High Elf warriors, the pirates drove the two ships out of the blood-stained seas without any resistance, while diligently clearing the blood-soaked deck of the Harbinger.
Re-stepping onto the deck of the Pioneer, which had been washed by pirates several times, Roland could still catch the residual smell of blood in the air. The paladin frowned slightly, glanced at the pirate who was still buried in the deck and was doing the scrubbing work diligently, and quickened his pace.
The Blood Wolf Pirate Kagu was left on the pirate ship by Roland to replace the Goblin Trader and spy on the pirate captives. The Blood Wolf, who was originally a pirate, was satisfied with Roland's orders, and the authorized werewolf kept walking back and forth on the pirate ship, shouting at those who were slow or lazy.
Because of the terrifying strength and brutal nature of the high-level werewolf warrior in the previous battle in front of everyone, in the face of this strange werewolf who suddenly appeared, all the pirates were honest, for fear that a little inappropriate action would fall into the hands of this hideous-looking guy.
Although the two werewolves are very different in size, in the minds of most pirates, the werewolf in front of them is probably the result of those high elves using some magical spell to tame the terrible werewolf just now. As for that huge difference in size, who knows what effect those wacky spells will have?
As for the follower mage your, he followed the elven paladin into the cargo hold of the Harbinger, and together they went to inspect the special cargo destined for Stormwind.
"A total of 200 full-body plates and a large number of weapons, plus at least a pile of food."
The Elven Ranger was very efficient and quickly reported the specific situation to Roland. Although she didn't know the origin of the human mage behind the paladin, Lotherma only showed a little curiosity and turned back to her original paralyzed face.
Sure enough, it was a big deal, and the cargo of this cargo ship alone was as much as several thousand gold coins. The current batch of supplies is only a small part of the Lordaeron Kingdom's assistance to the Stormwind Kingdom this time, which shows how seriously these two human kingdoms attach to the war they may face.
As far as Roland knew, the value of this standard full-body armor in front of him was about 20 gold coins, enough for the families of twenty ordinary civilians to live in peace for a year. These armors can be used to equip a large number of recruits, increasing the chances of winning a war and reducing casualties.
As for the boxes of food placed in the cargo hold, I am afraid that the Stormwind Kingdom intends to prepare in advance for a protracted war. In the event of an unfavorable battle, Stormwind's tall walls will be their last line of defense, and they will have enough food to fight hard.
For the wealthy Lotherma, although these things are valuable, they can't arouse their greed, not to mention that this kind of standard armor from Lordaeron is not easy to sell on a large scale, and once discovered, it may form a feud with the kingdom of Lordaeron. Therefore, the Elven Ranger does not look down on these things at all.
However, these things were like a piece of cheese with an enticing aroma to Roland, who had not seen much wealth, and goblins, who were naturally sensitive to gold coins. At this moment, whether it was Roland or the goblin merchant, there was that kind of miser-like light in their eyes.
However, compared to the restraint of the elves, the goblin merchant showed a little more obvious.
"Gold, gold!"
Glazkos recovered from his stupor, jumped to his feet, and shouted, "My lord, leave it to me, and I can help you sell these things for a great price!" ”
Then, he lowered his head and counted for a moment, holding out five fingers, "Five thousand gold coins!" ”
However, when he noticed the unhappiness on the elven paladin's face, he made a painful expression and exaggeratedly shouted, "Five thousand five? It really can't be more, six thousand, six thousand! Don't go! ”
For this goblin merchant who got into the eyes of money and never recognized his identity, Roland didn't have a good face, just made a gesture to Lotherma, and left the cargo hold with the elven ranger and the mage, leaving the jumping goblin to play a one-man show.
"You're not going to send this shipment to Stormwind City, and robbing someone else's finances is probably going against a paladin's code of conduct, right?"
Although he is already a card creature of Roland, your, as a human, still retains his feelings for his race. Obviously, he didn't want Roland to intercept the supplies, even if they were to be shipped to Stormwind, they wouldn't necessarily be useful. But as long as it can increase the chances of human victory, he doesn't want to sit idly by.
"That's enough, your."
In response to the mage's questioning, Roland shook his head, "We all know what kind of goods those nobles are, even if these things are sent to Stormwind City, what is the use, I'm afraid it won't take a few days to be swallowed by those greedy guys." ”
With that, he stopped, turned and patted the other man on the shoulder.
"What if these things come in handy? You and I know very well that with the strength of the Storm Kingdom, it is impossible to resist the footsteps of the orc army, and only when all the human kingdoms unite can there be hope of victory. In that case, it is better to cheapen us than to let these supplies end up in the hands of the orcs. ”
"Also, my code of conduct is different from that of ordinary paladins. As my summon, you shouldn't be unaware of this, right? ”
The paladin looked at the mage silently for a moment, revealing a smile, "I'm a paladin, but I've never been a good person. ”
I'm getting worse and worse, sighing inwardly, as Roland left the mage alone in the aisle and out of the dark cabin with Lotherma.
On the deck of the Harbinger, as the pirates tirelessly scrubbed and the ship sailed forward, the original bloody hell was gone, and the smell of blood left in the air should be minimal.
Roland narrowed his eyes and looked at the sun overhead, then turned his head and shouted to the blood wolf Kagu who was showing off his might on the pirate ship: "Kagu, let those pirates adjust their course, target Minethil Harbor, we must arrive as soon as possible!" ”
