The glow of the flames dispelled the fog-like darkness like the dawn of dawn, and a voice with tease and mockery shattered the silence.

Julian and Sebas returned, and Muto was right, he had the value that Julian wanted to extract, so Julian returned.

Sebas stood respectfully on Julian's side, always maintaining his unwavering and reserved smile, and he held his torch high to light the potholed path for Julian, who stepped on it in disgust, and the ground was covered with moss.

"Yes, Muto's eyes know you, and you are the one who knocked me unconscious and imprisoned here. Muto said to Sebas.

"Your name is Muto, a name full of wisdom. I apologize for my rude behavior, but if not, how would you be willing to come with me? Sebas said apologetically.

Muto looked at Sebas's sincere eyes, as if he was almost moved by his words, but then quickly regained his composure and shook his head violently: "I crossed here from the Western Wilderness, during which there were many dangers, and I almost lost my life several times, but in the end, all I did was to believe in my own wisdom and heart, he can tell me the answer, and your smile is too cold, too hypocritical, too easy to shake the weak, I can't believe your apology." ”

Loud applause rang out from the silent dungeon, long and heavy, and Julian said with admiration: "A wise orc, a wise man, a strong, indomitable will, you are an outstanding person, and who in the world does not like to talk to outstanding people? ”

"Who are you?" Muto shifted his body to remain vigilant in the face of Julian, who had abruptly accosted him.

"Me?" asked Julian, surprised and astonished, "I am the master of this hypocritical servant. Julian said, pointing at Sebas.

"In my opinion, you are more hypocritical than he is?"

"Mr. Muto, I have come with kindness and trust, and it is not the practice of a wise man that you have rejected my kindness so bluntly. ”

"A person of integrity and good conduct does not wear a mask to speak to others, but is more respectful and deceitful. ”

Julian touched the clown mask on his face, which he had snatched from the courtiers in the court of Count Noamon, with a pale complexion, a big red nose, and two black tear stains, which were uncomfortable for anyone to look at.

"I don't really like this mask either, but he can keep me safe, knowing that you're a dangerous person. ”

Muto understood what he meant, anyone who dared to make contact with the orcs would be sent to the gallows, and it would not hurt Muto to be a cautious man.

"Muto, the White Wolf Clan from the Western Wilderness. Muto felt the need to solemnly reintroduce himself, which meant the beginning of negotiations.

"You can call me Mr. K, and as for my subordinates, you can call him the Joker. ”

"Young Master, I'm much more handsome than you. Sebas teased.

"It's a pronoun, and it doesn't mean anything else. Joker!"

Sebas didn't refute either, and replied calmly: "Since that's the case, then I'm a clown." ”

Julian changed his words and said, "The premise of the negotiation is that each has sufficient bargaining chips, so Mr. Muto, I would like to know what you have given to the Count of Noamun, so that he will be willing to risk the gallows to make a deal with you?"

Muto lowered his head and pondered, and then said after a while, "What happened to Count Noamun?"

"I thought you'd come up with something that dazzled me, but you asked a stupid question. ”

"Count Noamon is finished, utterly finished, and will never come back. Julian said categorically.

"I see. ”

Muto reached into his pocket, fumbled for a while, clenched them in his fist, and then slowly spread out, Muto's palm scattered a brilliant light, even in the dark dungeon, their light was so bright and dazzling.

"It's beautiful. Julian was a little shocked at first, but immediately calmed down after a while, "Joker." ”

Sebas picked up a ruby from Muto's palm, looked at it for a while, and said, "The texture is very pure, but obviously the craftsmanship of the orcs is very simple, but we only need a little processing and polishing, and we can sell it for an incredibly high price." ”

"How many more of these stones are there in your hometown?" asked Julian.

"It's all over the mountains, like insects everywhere. ”

Julian scoffed, "It's the first time I've seen someone compare a gem to a bug, but maybe for you orcs, that's not wrong. ”

"So what can you give me?"

"I can give you what Count Noamon can give you, and I can give you what Count Noamon can't give you. ”

"Food and farming tools. Muto said.

"You farm?" asked Julian in surprise, for from the records of the orcs he had seen in the books, they did not produce, but only destroyed and plundered.

Muto nodded.

"It's incredible, because according to our records, you live mainly by hunting. ”

"That's true, yes, but the Wild West doesn't have so much prey for us to catch, and there are many powerful beasts living there, and every hunt comes with a lot of casualties. ”

"I see, because of the change of circumstances, I was forced to change my life habits. ”

"Is there anything else that needs to be replenished besides food and farming tools?"

"Weapons and armor. Muto cautiously probed.

"Your appetite is beyond my imagination, it's really big. ”

"If not, forget it. Muto said in a panic.

"No, I'm just curious what you need weapons and armor for?"

"There are many, large and small tribes in the western wilderness, but the relationship is not very good, every year there are disputes, countless tribes will be wiped out and annexed by the larger tribes, I just want some warriors to arm our tribes to protect our tribes. ”

"After seeing so many gems, I thought that the western wilderness was rich in iron ore and copper ore. ”

Muto smiled bitterly, "There are indeed some, but there are not many of them, and it is very dangerous to mine, because there are many powerful demonic beasts entrenched there. ”

"I see. Julian nodded approvingly, "I am very grateful for your honesty, and I can't help but want to do my part for you, but unfortunately the Empire is very strict about the large-scale transportation of swords and armor, and I am limited in my ability to help you." ”

"It doesn't matter, the food and farming tools alone make me very satisfied. ”

"But....." said Yuri, after settling down, and after arousing Muto's curiosity, "the control of the same iron tools is not strict, I can transport you a large number of tools, and then you can disassemble the iron part of the tools yourself, and then recast them into swords, although the quality is lacking, but I think it should be enough."

The peaks turned around, and the willows and flowers brightened up another village, and Muto said happily: "That's great." ”
