Chapter 58: The Traitor

"Now that everything has been negotiated, let's sign a contract. "The details have been worked out all the time," Yurian said.

From the beginning of the negotiations, Sebas had been holding a piece of paper to record the contents of the contract, and he handed the completed contract and pen to Muto.

Muto took the contract, didn't even look at it, bit his thumb, waited for the blood to seep out, and printed it on paper.

"Don't you take a look?"

"No, besides, this paper contract is not binding, not even a notary, I can't pin all my hopes on a piece of waste paper, whether the contract can be perfectly executed depends on your sincerity. ”

"I see. Julian bowed slightly, but he didn't pick up his pen, and as Muto did, he bit his finger and stamped his blood on a piece of paper.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

The two reached out and shook each other's hands. Both Julian and Muto were thrilled, with Muto winning back food and swords for his clan while Julian sold the entire country.

The philosophers tell us that when there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened; if there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is a 20% profit, it becomes active; if there is a 50% profit, it takes risks; when there is a 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; and if there is a 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head. If unrest and strife are profitable, it encourages them and strife. The smuggling and slave trade is proof of this.

"I will build my kingdom out of the ruins. Julian said.

Julian's purpose is not money, but to break the existing order, this ambitious and profit-hungry man is not satisfied with being a southern earth emperor, he wants to become a real king of the world, with Julian's help, Muto's white wolf clan will inevitably thrive and become a powerful tribe, and eventually they will annex and unite all the tribes in the western wilderness, unite into a unified and powerful tribe, and launch an attack on the human empire on the eastern continent.

After more than 300 years of prosperity in the Spring and Autumn Period, the empire has gradually decayed over a long period of time, and the soldiers have even forgotten how to wield their weapons, how can the weak and incompetent empire resist the new tribes that are too vigorous and high-spirited? The Great Wall will be washed down, and the war and war will rekindle the continent, and then there will inevitably be rivers of blood, countless families will be broken and scattered, and the rule of the Tobai Empire will collapse, and then Julian will lead the army of the south to replace it.

The moment Julian and Muto shook hands, a haze enveloped the entire Eastern Kingdom, and the devil's smirk echoed in the sky, unbeknownst to the flesh-eaters, who had betrayed their throne to the orcs of the Western Wilderness.

"So when can I leave?" asked Muto.

"When my fleet has all the supplies you need, you will depart in the boat, round the Eagle Horn, and return to the western wilderness. ”

Although Duke McCarvey ordered Julian to disband all the fleet, he secretly left a few brigs behind and established a chamber of commerce called Alibaba, which was put under the name of the chamber of commerce.

"Well, I'll wait here. ”

"No, you are now my honored guest, and deserve my hospitality, how can I let you stay in this filthy place?"

Julian held a private feast for Muto, and there were countless game delicacies, mountain and sea delicacies, and there were only three people in the room, Julian, Muto, and Sebas, who served by his side.

Muto, who had been hungry for a long time, saw the plate full of delicacies, and immediately feasted on it, without using utensils, he directly grabbed it with his hands, he picked up a roast duck from the plate, tore a duck leg and stuffed it into his mouth, and made a loud chewing sound while eating, "Delicious, delicious.....

Julian chuckled, "Don't worry, it's all yours." ”

Muto didn't even have time to thank him, his mouth kept chewing, and he was really hungry.

"The environment in the western wilderness is quite harsh. ”

"Who's to say it's not, bad land, bad weather, bad beasts, everything is terrible. When I first arrived in the human world, I had a snow-white salt in my hands, and at first I thought it was snowflakes, but I couldn't believe that the gritty salt we ate was the same thing. And we don't have any spices there, and the meat tastes the same every time. "The fertile and comfortable environment of the human world creates a huge contrast with the harsh environment of the western wilderness, which makes Mu complain uncontrollably.

"Have you ever considered settling down here?"

Muto shook his head and said, "Although this place is very good, it is not my home after all, my home is in the yellow sandy western wilderness, in the simple tent of the clan. ”

"In that case, I will not give much advice, and as proof of our friendship, I will send you some refined salt and spices, along with grain and iron horses, to your clan. ”

"I can't thank you enough. ”

"Don't thank me so much, this is also a merchant's marketing strategy, and when you like the taste of spices, it will cost money. ”

"Haha, what a cunning human. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the banquet was staggered.

"Muto, I saw the description of your orcs in the book, they are all burly and strong, even the female orcs are much stronger than humans, but I see you..... Very thin, very different from the description I saw in the book, of course I didn't mean anything, but the first time I met an orc, I was aroused with great curiosity. During the meal, Julian asked Muto.

"Hey. "Muto was heartbroken.

"If there's something unspeakable, it's okay if you don't answer. Julian gestured with a wave of his hand.

"No need, I've come to terms with myself over the years, and I've been through a lot of battles anyway. ”

"I am a deformed child, very thin since I was a child, abandoned by my mother, fortunately I was picked up by the White Wolf Clan passing through this place, my adoptive father was the chief priest of the tribe, he adopted me against all odds, if it were not for his protection, in the clan that worships power and blood, I would not have lived so much. ”

Even though he said a few words, Julian could also imagine the situation of Muto, who was an outlier in the tribe, and it was difficult to tell his fate even if he had a thousand words.

"Yes, although you cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, your wisdom and shrewdness have brought unimaginable wealth to your tribe, which is difficult for even a strong warrior to do, and when you return with a full load, your people will surely be impressed by you. Your adoptive father was a wise man. ”

"Thank you. After Muto thanked him, he began to suffocate himself on the plate again, thinking that it was the past and not wanting to think too much about it.

"How many tribes are there in the Wild West now?" asked Julian again after a moment.

"There are probably hundreds of tribes. After a moment's thought, Muto came up with an ambiguous answer.

"Wow, that's not a big deal. Your tribe must have a large population. ”

"Our White Wolf Clan only has one or two hundred thousand people, which is not a big tribe, and some big tribes can reach hundreds of thousands."

Julian's answer to Muto was sneering, who doesn't know that the orcs are a race where all people are soldiers, then even a female orc can fight a knight in a frontal war, if there are really so many people, they would have been fought back to the eastern continent a long time ago, do they still need to fight back and forth every year because of so much food? Moreover, Julian does not believe that the barren and harsh environment of the western wilderness can feed so many people.

"Hey, I thought your White Wolf Clan was a powerful tribe, but in that case, I doubt very much that your White Wolf Clan will be able to satisfy my appetite. Julian put on the face of a treacherous merchant.

Muto hurriedly swallowed the roast duck in his mouth, touched the grease in his mouth and said: "Although the White Wolf Clan is not a big clan, it is also a force that cannot be underestimated in the Western Wilderness, the population of the big tribe is indeed large, but there is only one one, and before I left the Western Wilderness, I heard that this huge tribe has recently split up, their chief died, and the eldest son and the second son fought for inheritance, and the tribe was split into two halves. ”

"Wouldn't that be nice, I think they should be desperate for all support at this time. ”

"No, they're savages, and they hate humans very much, and I guess your people will be torn to shreds by the barbarians before they even enter their tent. Muto hurriedly replied, Muto knew that this group of merchants were very market-oriented, without any integrity at all, they could sell their race for profit, and in the face of greater interests, they would never pay attention to any affection, and decisively abandon their clan.

"Haha, Mr. Muto, you are worried too much, haven't we already signed the contract? Since the contract has been clearly written, then how can I tear up the contract without credit? You can rest assured, as long as you can pay the corresponding gems, then everything will be fine, and there will be no lack of what you give. And I'm not interested in getting involved in your disputes in the western wilderness, I'm just a businessman, and I'm honest and kind. ”

"Besides....." Julian suddenly looked up her obsidian-deep eyes and said, "aren't we friends?"

"Yes, we just became friends. Muto said.

"Cheers to our friendship, then. Julian said, holding a glass of red wine.

"Long live friendship. ”

Boom! Muto's glass fell to the ground, shattering to the ground.

Looking at Muto who was lying asleep on the dining table, Julian's face was frosty, "I'm really sorry, although this is not a matter of contract, but I have to borrow your head, and use him to clear my name." But rest assured, I will honor the pact we have signed to help your clan become the most powerful in the western wilderness. ”
