Chapter 7: A Brief Introduction to the Orcs
Anna's village is not very far from Kotou Village, and the two sides are only separated by the back mountain, but compared to Kotou Village, Anna's village is smaller, not only does it not occupy a very large area, but even the population in the village is far less than that of Kotou Village.
And in the process of Zhou Tian's return with Anna, Zhou Tian also learned some things about their orcs from Anna's mouth, and he knew a little more about the orc race.
Zhou Tian had found something wrong before, just because he didn't know much about the orc clan, and ******** only thought about how to earn CSB, and he didn't bother to pay attention to those things at all, even if he found something wrong, he just didn't see it.
And now that he has solved his mind and has that curiosity about the orc race, Zhou Tian can't help but knock on the side to know some relevant information at that time.
Maybe it's because of Zhou Tian's previous performance that Anna and they are very grateful to him! As a result, although Zhou Tian's performance was not without flaws, in the end, Anna and they didn't seem to notice anything, just like they didn't defend it at all, and they easily let Zhou Tian find out a lot of things from their mouths.
Originally, Zhou Tian found out that there was something wrong with Anna's name, Parker's kobold claimed to be an orc, while Anna called herself a half-orc. Moreover, the orcs in the kobold village are all kobolds, and although Anna and their village have not been in Zhou Tian to see it, it is not difficult to see from the current Zhou Tian in their team that Anna's village is a mixed state, not only fox girls like Anna but also a group of macho men of different races.
People who don't know the situation probably can't tell the difference between these orcs, and it wasn't until he got the corresponding information from Anna's mouth that Zhou Tian knew that there was a difference between almost different races among the orcs.
First of all, the mainstream of orcs is orcs, that is, dog-headed people, minotaurs and other orcs with animal heads and other bestial phenomena. Under normal circumstances, nine out of ten orcs are purebred orcs, so under normal circumstances, an orc with a beast head is considered a true purebred orc.
And just as the Terrans have atavistic babies, orcs have the dual genes of humans and beasts, under the unstable genetic combination, every few births will inevitably produce some babies that look more 'ugly' to them, and those babies have two names, one is half-orc, and the other is companion beast.
The companion beast is like the atavistic phenomenon of humans, the fetus born by the orc is not an orc but a beast of the same species, and if that phenomenon occurs, the companion beast will often be born at the same time as the small orc, and it is not surprising that the two sides will grow up together and establish a close cooperative relationship.
Orcs rarely ride horses like humans, and orc cavalry is a companion beast that cooperates with its siblings, and the intimate cooperation between the two sides is much more beneficial than most of the knights of humans. It is precisely because of the particularity of the orc cavalry that the Terrans often have equipment several grades higher than the orcs, and if the two sides really fight, except for special circumstances, there are no three times the strength of the orcs, and often the Terran knights will definitely be beaten by the orc cavalry.
Half-orcs are also very easy to understand, just like fox girls like Anna, half-orcs have seven or eight points of similarity with humans, except for some orc symbols such as beast ears and tails, often half-orcs are not much different from humans. However, it is precisely because orcs look very similar to humans that although they look very 'ugly' in the eyes of orcs, in the eyes of humans, half-orc girls such as fox girls are rare beauties.
As a result, according to the inferior roots of human beings, the next situation can be imagined.
For the slave traders, as long as there are enough benefits, there is no population that they dare not buy, even if it is a princess of a country, if someone can afford it, then there will be traffickers who dare to make a move. And in the case that the orcs have a large number of beauties, and the orc empire does not attach great importance to the orcs, it is conceivable that for those slave traders, the orc beauties have naturally become the best source of slaves.
In the end, because of the existence of fox girls like Anna, a large number of human traffickers poured into the orc empire, and finally the half-orcs with a population of tens of millions were directly hunted and killed. It wasn't until the actions of those human traffickers angered the orc empire and caused the orc armies to go out and destroy several neighboring kingdoms, that the Terrans' frenzied slave hunting slowed down.
However, even if the Orc Empire has not given up suppressing human traffickers, and at the same time, the orcs are also scattered and living in seclusion, but the number of human traffickers within the Orc Empire is still quite large. And it is precisely because of the existence of those human traffickers that humans have no good impression in the eyes of most orcs. Fortunately, it was the kobold who first discovered Zhou Tian, because he did not have too many conflicts of interest with the human race, and finally had some contact with the human race and established a good relationship, otherwise if he was replaced by a half-orc or other orcs to meet him, it would be considered that he would not pull him even if he saw Zhou Tian's fall, but would probably give him a knife.
After knowing the situation of the orcs, Zhou Tian was also glad that he had good luck before, but after reacting, he was also very happy that Anna and the others were taking him back to the village now.
Undoubtedly, if it weren't for Anna's great trust in Zhou Tian, they would have known that they would not be able to take Zhou Tian back to the village based on the situation of the orcs. Otherwise, depending on the situation of the orcs, if Zhou Tian is a celebrity trafficker, then knowing their location and inviting all the people to come and kidnap people, then I am afraid that their village will only be destroyed.
Knowing Anna's trust in him, Zhou Tian was very happy, because if Anna trusted him, then Zhou Tian would also be able to establish a cooperative relationship with Anna and their village, not only Anna and the resources in their village could be purchased by Zhou Tian, but even those orcs in their village Zhou Tian were confident that they could take it for their own use.
As a result, while Zhou Tian and they were talking and hurrying away, Zhou Tian had a preliminary understanding of the orc clan, and under the escort of a group of orcs, Zhou Tian finally arrived at the village where Anna and they lived.
"It's human!"
"Mom lies, there is nothing to be afraid of human beings at all, you see that he is so thin, I don't have to be afraid of him at all. ”
"Anna, how did they bring the humans back to the village, could it be that they took prisoners?"
“......”
Although Zhou Tian had already been mentally prepared, when he really returned to their village with Anna and his party, Zhou Tian still inevitably enjoyed the onlooker treatment, and once again let those orcs who had never seen humans watch for a long time.
But fortunately, Anna and the others have a request for Sunday, so they will try to avoid anything that may cause Sunday's unhappiness. So there is no need to remind Zhou Tian at all, when she saw the villagers in her village watching Zhou Tian, Anna and the others reacted, and immediately escorted Zhou Tian to drive away the onlookers.
"Go, go, this is the salt merchant we brought back, and he saved Anna, not an enemy. There is nothing to look at, and it will be scattered quickly, and when the time comes, people will be careful that there will be no salt to eat. ”
As soon as they heard that Zhou Tian was a salt merchant and had saved Anna, the attitude of those orcs towards Zhou Tian immediately changed. If it was said that those half-orcs who were watching Zhou Tian before were curious and a little hostile, then after knowing Zhou Tian's identity and intentions, those half-orcs showed a little flattering look on their faces.
"It seems that the shortage of salt in the Orc Empire is even more serious than I imagined, and it is profitable to sell salt!"
As early as after seeing Anna's performance, Zhou Tian knew that salt was a scarce commodity for orcs, but after seeing the performance of other orcs again, Zhou Tian knew what salt meant to those orcs. And obviously, since the orc empire is so short of salt, then Zhou Tian, who has a large amount of salt, can make a lot of benefits from those orcs as long as he wants to.
Of course, Zhou Tian's heart is not too dark, firstly, those orcs have nothing to fish, and secondly, Zhou Tian is not short of the little things in their hands, although he has made up his mind to earn benefits from these orcs, but how to earn benefits, this is still exquisite.
