Chapter 298: Into the City
Seeing this human merchant who kept muttering bad luck in his mouth gradually walking away, Lu Ya pursed his lips tightly, he didn't expect that the orcs here would be so miserable, and an inexplicable emotion appeared in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"My lord, my lord, are you telling the truth, do you really want to hire me, don't worry, I will definitely work hard, and I will never be lazy, hehe, thank you, hehe, thank you so much"
Seeing that this straightforward orc man showed surprise on his face, and the corners of his eyes were moist and he was about to bow to himself, Lu Ya helped him up with one hand, feeling Lu Ya's amazing strength, and this orc man was stunned for a while and was a little at a loss.
"You don't have to thank me, but I want to go into the city but I can't take you" Lu Ya wants to enter the city, naturally it is impossible to bring this orc man and his family, he is not worried about money, even if the orcs enter the city for 5 more gold coins than humans, but this money Lu Ya is not careful, he is mainly inconvenient with this family.
"This... This... You... You don't need me," the orc man, who was originally elated, was instantly surrounded by a strong sense of loss.
Luya knew that he had been misunderstood, so he secretly said that he couldn't speak, looked at the pedestrians walking around, and then said, "You guys come with me first"
With this family, Xiong Da Xiong Er and Avery out of the market area, Lu Ya pulled this family to the side alone, looked at the surrounding people and took out a small bag from his arms and stuffed it into the arms of the orc man.
The orc man took the bag with a puzzled look and opened it, and a golden light came into his eyes.
"This... This ·····" The orc man was speechless, and even his wife and children behind him were also on the spot, and this bag full of gold coins was like seeing a beast god for the family.
Looking at the trembling arm of the orc man, Lu Ya patted his arm lightly and said, "This is less than three hundred gold coins, not all for you, I see that there are many orcs like you in the bazaar, you can contact yourself, you can take them with you if you are willing to go, don't suffer in this place, you can use this money as capital to find a place to settle down by yourself, or you can use it as a travel fee to go to a place"
"It's called Black Rock City, it's the sphere of influence of the Boulder Tribe, it belongs to the edge of the Northern Alliance, if you walk, it's estimated that it will take more than three or four months, if you want to go, take this token with you, you'll live a good life there, of course, if it's too far, I didn't say it," Lu Ya said and gave the man a small token with his mark on it.
"Oh yes, remember to keep a low profile when you gather your companions, don't expose the gold coins, that's it, goodbye"
After the explanation, Lu Ya did not wait for the still sluggish family to turn their heads and walked back, and after a while, the back of Lu Ya and his party gradually disappeared, leaving only a family that kept lying on the ground and kowtowing in gratitude, from beginning to end, the two sides did not even know each other's names, but if this family really went to Black Rock City, as long as they described it slightly, others would understand who this family had encountered.
In front of Laurel City, Lu Ya and his party, who were queuing up to enter the city, followed the crowd and slowly advanced.
"Brother Ruya, did you give that family a lot of money just now?" Avery asked in a whisper.
"En" Ruya did not deny it.
"Oh, they're lucky, I've seen a lot of orcs like them, and finally... Hey~" Avery shook his head and didn't say anything more, he had seen too much of that kind of thing in the bazaar just now, and the unproductive orcs would often gather at the junction of humans and orc territories to wander, and most of them were human traders. The reason why they say this is because most of them follow others because of the relatively generous conditions offered by human beings, but when they really get here, they will find that the prices here are ridiculously high, and with the little money they earn on the road, they can't go back at all.
Most of these orcs who were forced to stay here ended up having to sign a slave contract with humans and sell themselves, ending up with no freedom and at the mercy of others.
"What a ·····" Ruya muttered.
"Next!"
A scolding brought Ruya back to his senses, and he realized that it was his turn to enter the city.
"A few people," a leather-clad guard said, glancing at Ruya.
"Four people," Ruya said, pointing to Xiong Da Xiong Er behind him and Avery beside him.
"Heh, it's you, hehe" The guard laughed when he saw Avery clearly, and then looked at Ruya again, how it looked like he was looking at a wronged man.
"Thirty gold coins," the guard said.
"Isn't it thirty gold coins, isn't it twenty-five, my friend has a token," Avery asked the guard as he jumped out at this point.
"Why, don't you accept it? Boy, you fooled us with a fake token last time, but you didn't do it with dim sum, and you made a brand of Noah's Kingdom and wanted to get mixed up with us, are you suspecting that we are all fools? If you are verbose again, believe it or not, I will have you arrested and thrown to the front line."
"My token isn't fake····· Hmm~"
Ruya covered Avery with one hand, then reached out and handed the guard thirty gold coins, and kept saying in his mouth, "This big brother is sorry, my brother was stimulated outside, there are some problems here, forgive me" Ruya covered Avery with one hand and pointed to his head with the other, his face was full of embarrassment.
"Woo~~" Avery wanted to struggle, but Ruya had so much strength that he could break free, so he had to keep swinging his limbs.
"Hmph~ Let's go over, register in front and go" After the guard handed the money to an accountkeeper behind him, he didn't embarrass Lu Ya and the others, and waved his hand to let them go.
"Hey, wait a minute," Lu Ya, who had barely walked two steps, was suddenly stopped by the sergeant again.
"I didn't check what you were pulling just now, what was on this cart," the guard asked, pointing to a few boxes on the cart.
"Xiong Da, open the boxes" Lu Ya ordered, and Xiong Da stepped forward and opened the wooden boxes.
"What are these?" the guard said, puzzled, picking up a lump less than the size of a palm.
"It's soap," Ruya said.
"Soap?
"Soap?!" even Avery stared at the object in the guard's hand with wide eyes this time.
"Soap?······"
The buzz around them was getting louder and louder, and it was clear that Ruyala's cart of soap had brought a great shock to these people.
"What, what's the problem?" Lu Ya asked calmly, feeling the various eyes around him.
"Oh, oh, no problem, it's okay, let's go" The guard carefully put the soap in his hand back into the box and didn't forget to cover the box for Lu Ya, and even the eyes that looked at Lu Ya were no longer the appearance of the wronged head, nonsense, if the person who can bring back so many high-end goods that money can't buy at once is wronged, then he is not even a fart.
The group finally entered Laurel City after registering a simple information near the city gate, the walls of Laurel City are not too high, they can only be regarded as enough in front of them, and the mottled moss on the walls and the laurel trees planted around the moat make this border city look more like a tourist city.
Although there is only one city wall apart, there are two worlds inside and outside the wall. Bustling crowds, low-rise buildings, and occasionally a few taller buildings are also decorated with carved beams and painted tall houses, coupled with the city's canals extending in all directions and green trees and flowers everywhere, Lu Ya simply has a feeling of coming to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
"It's so beautiful here"
"Not as pretty as Black Rock City"
"I'm not stupid, of course I do"
"I don't talk to fools"
"You're the one..."
Xiong Daxiong and the two of them pinched each other in a low voice, although Lu Ya was also attracted by this prosperous scenery, but felt the whispered discussions from time to time behind him, he still chose to speed up his pace and leave here.
