The scene was deathly silent, and the breath could be heard.

The strange atmosphere finally caught the attention of the orc tax officer, and seeing the embarrassment of his subordinates, he frowned, knocked on the carriage railing with the clipboard in his hand, and strode over.

"Stand down!" The tax collector scolded in a deep voice, and the two minions picked up their spears and ran into the tax office.

"Dear lady of the dead, your ...... What company is coming from...... "The tax officer is very personable, which is quite rare among orcs, but his memory is not very good......

Azeroth Global Trading Ltd., Headquarters of the Eastern Kingdom...... Arathi Division. Youyou repeated it again and again, the words were clear, and the words were correct and round.

"Oh hehe...... "The tax officer listened carefully, and gave up completely after listening, it is impossible to remember it!

"The undead are our allies, and on behalf of the Orc Empire, I welcome your trade practices, as long as you do not buy or sell contraband, and do not import or export to enemy countries, you will be protected by us." After the tax officer finished speaking, he politely owed the debt, turned around and went back to the tax office.

"Master Xie." You bow down, and your face is colorful.

Seeing the tax officer leave, Cheng Xiaotian's brows furrowed, this orc is a little peculiar, there is an energy in him, it seems to be a bit like ...... Thunder Dao Law!

Spiritual power is divided into five elements, but there are far more than five kinds of Taoism, in fact, the five elements of Taoism are born and blended together, and different combinations will have different derivatives, which can be described as ever-changing, among which the combination of wood and gold, the derivatives are thunder spells.

Cheng Xiaotian's cultivation of Shushan Exercises is unique, with all five elements, as long as the skill is enough, any spell can be cast, but now his cultivation is still shallow, and he can't fuse any two kinds of spiritual power, and there is no way to talk about mixing spells. The energy in this orc tax collector's body is very weak, about the same as the first order of condensation, but he has mastered the mixed energy, which is really incomprehensible.

"Sir? Your Excellency the Viscount! Hernandez shouted softly, waking Cheng Xiaotian up.

Looking up, Hernandez and Youyou were standing side by side under the car, looking at him suspiciously. Behind the two of them, there was a storefront, and there was a sign erected next to the door - Byron Grain Store.

Only then did Cheng Xiaotian remember that he still had something to do, buy food!

After the whole village moved to the Beira Valley, clearing the land was not a problem, and the crops that could be sown would not be harvested until at least the following summer, during which time all the food rations had to be bought. And with such a large amount of grain, only one in the entire Arashi Basin can be bought - "Byron Grain Stack".

You guessed it right, it is the grain store owned by the family of Byron Cervantes, the only one in the whole Arashi Basin, right next door to the tax office.

Jumping out of the carriage, Cheng Xiaotian and Hernandez followed as partners, and the three of them walked into this small grain store.

Although the façade is not large, the space inside is really not small, about 1,000 square meters, but it is empty, not to mention food, not even a grain bag. There are only two people, one is scolding, and the other is being scolded.

"Lazy bones, I should hang you up!" The cursing was a lean old man, with round eyes of the dead fish, and poked his finger at the young man opposite.

The young man looked only 14 or 5 years old, short, black and thin, and looked malnourished, poked by the old man, and did not dare to dodge or reply, but kept his head down and did not make a sound.

Ahem!

Hernandez coughed twice deliberately, and the old man turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at the three of them with some surprise, especially the Yuyu who was facing him with his left face. The young man quietly raised his head while the old man was not paying attention, and peeked with curiosity on his face.

"Ma'am, is there anything wrong with you?" The old man asked aloud.

What is the matter with entering the door and asking people? Is there such a thing as a trade? What else can you do if you don't buy food when you come to the grain store? The three of them looked at each other, puzzled.

The old man also noticed Cheng Xiaotian and Hernandez at this time, the so-called old man is a fine man, although he can't see the whole picture of the two of them clearly, but judging from his demeanor and demeanor, it is obvious that they are not ordinary slaves, and the entourage is so good, so that beautiful lady......

"Why don't you go get water and wash the floor carefully!" The old man turned his head to the young man and raised his eyebrows, and the young man quickly lowered his head.

When Cheng Xiaotian heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, what does this mean by washing the floor of the store?

After scolding, the old man turned around with satisfaction, and immediately put on a sneer on his face, and said, "The three distinguished guests are here, and the small inn is shining!" I don't know, what do you need help with? ”

Youyou took a step forward, with an impeccable posture, and said, "We want to purchase a batch of grain in your inn, well, the more the better."

Hearing this, the old man's face immediately became bitter, and he spread his hands: "It's a pity, honorable lady, if you can come a week earlier, there is still a warehouse full of grain here, now...... You can see that there is not a grain of grain in the crack in the wall. ”

"With so much grain, how can it be sold out in a week?" Cheng Xiaotian hurriedly asked.

"If only it were sold out." The old man glanced at Cheng Xiaotian with a strange expression, then turned to Hernandez and said, "A week ago, my lord received a letter from Grand Overseer Tudor in person, appointing us to hand over 50,000 kilograms of military rations at the grain store...... So the food was gone. ”

The old man's meaning couldn't be more obvious, how dare we openly disobey the decree in the empire, which is already unpopular in the empire?

"Where else can I buy food in the neighborhood?" Cheng Xiaotian was unwilling and asked.

The old man smiled and shook his head: "This gentleman, I promise, you can't even find 100 kilograms of grain in the current Arashi Basin, and even if you buy it, you can't take it out."

Yes, after running for nothing, Cheng Xiaotian was suddenly deflated.

Youyou glanced back at Cheng Xiaotian, and he was also half-pulled and lost, but the matter had come to this point, and he could only take one step at a time.

"In that case, then don't bother, take your leave." Since I couldn't buy it, it was no fun to stay any longer, so I had to leave.

Seeing the three of them walk to the door, the old man suddenly smiled and said, "The three of them shouldn't have stayed yet, right?" I recommend you to visit the Adventurer's Inn on West Street, which is elegant, decorated and has a variety of special services to make the three of them feel at home. ”

Hernandez, who had already walked to the door, was stunned when he heard this, stopped, turned his head sideways, glanced at the old man, and asked, "Special service?"

"It's very distinctive." The old man nodded, smiling even brighter.

"Don't delay, let's go." Cheng Xiaotian's call came from outside, and his tone was a little sullen.

Hernandez smiled mysteriously at the old man, stepped out of the door, turned around and walked into the night, catching up with Cheng Xiaotian and Youyou, who were waiting outside.

Whoa!

There was a splashing sound of water in the grain store, followed by the old man's scolding: "Brush me clean, if I find a grain of mouse droppings, I will skin you tomorrow!" ”
