Chapter 46: The Town of Sri (Part I)

The next morning, we left the village of Duodie.

Along the way, I was very proud of carrying a black copper wooden shield and a black copper wooden hammer.

The uncles of the hunting party were amazed, but the freshness soon passed.

In fact, although the black copper wood is hard, it is relatively lightweight, and it is not particularly suitable for warriors, only shamans, druids and other professions that are easier to communicate with elemental energy and natural spirits.

I could also feel that the Black Copper Wood Hammer allowed me to control the elemental energy nearby more easily than the Bone Hammer.

Leo said, "It seems that this kind of black copper wood is also very suitable for magicians...... Why...... Why did I fall on the Minotaur's turf......"

I've heard too many of his whining complaints, and I can completely ignore them.

Along the way we passed through several other villages, and at night, of course, we stayed in these villages.

We walked for four days in a row, and it was not until the evening of the fourth day that we arrived at the town of Sri.

Sri Town, it's huge!

It's huge, Srizhen!

That's the best way we can think of it.

The whole town of Sri, three, four, no, the size of five Vir villages!

I'm stunned.

Not only me, but my brother and the others were almost stunned.

Only Dad and Uncle Sanji quickly came back to their senses: "Ahem, cough, cough! Don't be stunned, let's go! ”

Leo said, "Cut! Isn't it just a small town? It seems that there are only a thousand residents left, too small, too small! ”

I was not convinced and said: "Of course it can't be compared to the kind of town on your earth that can squeeze 10,000 people!" I don't know what they eat and drink, where they pull......"

Leo immediately retorted: "That's called a high concentration of population, urbanization and civilized life!" You backward and barbaric primitive life cannot be compared! Also, you don't even have a decent toilet! ”

Looks like he's ready to debate with me.

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, though.

We drove the Kodo beast cart into the town of Sri.

The entrance to the town was wide, and a sturdy thorn fence enclosed the town, except for a few minotaur soldiers in rhinoceros skin armor guarding the entrance.

These men looked at us in amazement when they saw all five of our Kodo carts.

One of them, who was standing at the front, stopped us and asked in a loud voice, "Which village are you from?" ”

Dad walked up and said, "We're from Ville Village, and I'm Rook, the village chief!" ”

These soldiers were even more surprised: "It turned out to be the village chief of Luke!" You're here...... Sell goods? ”

Dad said, "Yes! ”

The soldier said: "Well, that's right, now, centaurs and boar people are often harassed, and there are also some border frictions in the north of Thunder City, Thunder City needs more war materials, I hope your goods will be sold to the mayor's equipment store first!" ”

Dad was stunned for a moment: "This, is the price the same?" ”

The soldier said, "The same! However, if you sell to the mayor's house first, the army patrolling the border will give you priority in the event of a sudden war! I heard that the village chief Luke is the number one warrior in the four villages in the south, and has also operated with the patrol team, so we should know that only by arming our own army can we better defend against the enemy! ”

Dad thought for a moment, then looked back at everyone and asked, "What do you guys say?" ”

Several uncles said one after another: "We listen to you, village chief!" ”

Dad thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, we can sell it to the mayor." ”

The soldier said happily: "It is so refreshing to be the first warrior!" So, move on! The equipment shop of the mayor's house is in the front and the right turn is in the big yard! Some of the blacksmiths are there! That, we still have to stand guard, so we won't show you the way! ”

Dad said, "You're welcome, we've been here before!" ”

As we moved on, the Kodo cart drove on a road twice as wide as everyone outside the village, drawing many onlookers from passers-by.

Although it wasn't the first time I had been watched by so many people, I was still a little unaccustomed to it.

My brother tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to hold my head high.

I tilted my head and touched the black copper wooden hammer at my waist.

At this moment, an old troll came out of a gate on the side of the road.

This old troll looked very much like the one in the troll caravan that came to the village in the spring, the one with the picture book and the book.

I know this old troll isn't the one.

According to Leo, all the minotaurs looked the same in his eyes, and all the trolls looked the same in my eyes.

All goblins are probably the same in the eyes of minotaurs and trolls......

The old troll watched our car pass by, crept closer to my father, and whispered, "We'll pay more for your goods...... ...... taller than the mayor's house."

Dad waved his hand impatiently: "Don't sell, don't sell!" It is not sold at a higher price! ”

The old troll looked at us a little strangely, and continued to lower his voice and said, "It's negotiable, you can make a price......"

The troll's voice was already hoarse, and when he lowered his voice like this, it became even more hoarse.

Dad said, "I won't sell it!" ”

The voice raised a little bit, and several uncles around turned their heads to look over.

The old troll shook his head in disappointment and went back with his hands behind his back.

I asked strangely, "Dad, why don't you sell it?" Didn't he say to give more? ”

Dad suddenly looked at me seriously: "I didn't give it to the mayor's house not to make money, but to make more minotaurs less harmless from robbers!" These goods are made into equipment and weapons that can arm more of its minotaur warriors, and only if they are well armed can they protect the entire minotaur! ”

I asked curiously, "Aren't we able to protect the village ourselves?" ”

Dad said, "Then why was the village of Penza destroyed?" ”

I was stunned for a moment.

Dad said: "Not all villages are like our Ville village, there are so many warriors, some weak villages, they are not strong enough to need the protection of the army!" ”

Then I understood: "So, even if the price is lower, we have to sell the goods to the mayor's house, right?" ”

Dad nodded: "Also, whether these troll merchants or goblin merchants, they only recognize money and not people when they do business in every place, and if we sell them goods, we may become swords, guns and armor in the hands of centaurs!" ”

My eyes widened, "Well, they shouldn't have been allowed to open their shop in Sri Town!" ”

Dad smiled: "Actually, it's not so serious, maybe the weapons we bought from him were also sold to them by centaurs!" ”

I looked at my black copper wooden hammer and said reassuringly, "It's okay, my weapon is not!" ”

Dad laughed, but my brother said, "Then my axe can't be sold by centaurs, right?" ”

Dad said, "Surely not, the weapons are made by merchants and craftsmen, not centaurs." ”

My brother was also relieved.

Leo said: "I didn't expect that you, a big and rough father, still know so much, it really seems like a sudden change of person"!

I was also a little puzzled, my father didn't talk about such a thing in one breath before.

So I asked, "Dad, how do you know this?" ”

Dad said, "Just the last time, when I was with the soldiers of the patrol team, they told me, and they also said that we minotaurs should unite, not only to help the people of the same village, but also to help the people of other villages and towns, so that we can not be bullied by the enemy and other orcs!" ”

My brother and I both nodded.

Leo said: "It seems that the ideological education of the Niutou clan has done a good job!" It seems that the Bloodhoof Lord of Thunder City is indeed a remarkable figure, and you will have to meet him sooner or later. ”

I was shocked by his words again: "Meet the city lord? How is this possible? ”

Leo said: "Don't doubt yourself, you have this qualification, or rather, it won't be long before you have this qualification!" Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in the power and change that meteors bring you! ”

There always seems to be some truth to what he says......

I said, "See as you see, at least, it is a great thing to meet the greatest of the minotaurs, our patriarchs!" ”

Leo said, "You will be greater than him." ”

I said, "Come on, if you say I'm better than him, I might believe it, but it's impossible to be a greater person than that." ”

Leo said, "Hey, didn't you say your grandfather would teach you divination?" You'll find out when the time comes! ”

We walked as we talked, looking at the gates on both sides of the road and looking at the goods inside.

I saw a man selling leather clothes, a man selling bread and meatloaf, a man selling all kinds of weapons, a man of all kinds of fun toys, and an old minotaur with one horn.

The old minotaur, with a broken horn and a broken leg, sat on a corner of the street with a broken bowl in front of him, and sat listlessly, half-squinting at the people on the road.

His eyes widened in surprise when he saw our Kodo cart.

Leo also said strangely, "Huh? There are beggars? ”
