Chapter 149: Another Mission
Thorn and the other bear-man warriors stared at Ronald with unkind expressions, as if as long as he didn't let go, the next second they would pounce on him and tear him to pieces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ronald hesitated, but finally slowly let go of his fingers.
The shaman gasped, and immediately raised his crutches to stop a few bear-man warriors who were about to rush up, and then turned to look at Ronald, his expression did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but showed a sense of seriousness: "Human, can you tell me in detail about the caravan and gold coins you just said?"
"Is this important?" Ronald didn't understand why the shaman was so concerned about the news.
"Yes, it's important to us. ”
Ronald is because he has the Big Bandit system, and the Big Bandit system can use gold coins to sacrifice to earn points, and his focus is on gold coins. But what about the orcs, if they really didn't care much about gold, as they claimed, could it be that their focus was on the caravan?
Either way, Ronald realizes that the news seems to be a very important event for the Hammer Tribe.
Important, means a turnaround.
Ronald explained in detail what he had encountered and seen before.
Cyclops, the triangular dragon herd chased by the cyclops, the human smuggling caravans...... The only thing he was hiding was about sacrificing those gold coins.
And so it was. ”
Hearing Ronald's detailed explanation, the shaman sighed and said with a slightly worried expression: "Human, your news has helped our tribe, although our positions are conflicting, but before you leave our tribe, I guarantee that you will be treated favorably by guests." ”
"Shaman, a few days ago, there were indeed signs of Cyclops spotted by the clansmen, but the caravan was not reported, so I asked the warriors to confirm it. Thorn stood there, looking equally serious.
"Bean, Ropin, you two with ten warriors each, and take a closer look at the route taken by the Cyclops the other day. Thorn turned and commanded at the two bear-man warriors behind him.
"Yes, Chief!"
"Ride a black bear and be fast. ”
"Yes......"
The two bear-man warriors looked equally serious, and they both seemed to be aware of something wrong from the situation Ronald described.
"What the hell is going on?" Ronald wondered about the current situation.
"Human, what do you think the caravan is doing with so many gold coins in the Northern Wilderness Plains?" The shaman shook his head: "Do you want to buy anything?" No, orcs don't need gold coins, and no orc tribe will accept your human currency to sell their hard-earned goods. ”
"So......" Ronald chuckled in his heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"That's right, those gold coins are not used to buy things, but to pay for the goods sold by your human caravans!" the shaman said in a quiet tone.
I saw the priest go behind the wooden table, and take out a few bones with special shapes from the jar behind them, the bones seem to have been preserved for a long time, they look black, dirty, dirty, and I don't know what is stained on them.
The shaman closed a few bones in his palm, closed his eyes, and began to whisper in a language unusual to that of a human.
All the bear-man warriors present, including Thorn, fell to their knees reverently, their eyes looking at the shaman.
After a few seconds, the priest threw his hands and a few bones on the table.
The breath of the bear-man warriors present was held at this moment.
"Shaman, what did the Ancestor tell you?" asked Thorn as he looked at the Shaman, his voice filled with respect.
From this moment, you can clearly feel the orc's longing for their ancestors and their respect for the shaman.
"Danger!" the shaman said, looking carefully at the bones on the table, pondering for a moment, "terrible danger is approaching our tribe. ”
Dangerous!
Thorn gasped, as the wise man of the orc tribe, the mage, and the hub of communication with the ancestors, the shaman was able to make the shaman say the words 'terrible danger' in person, which showed that this danger was indeed not comparable to ordinary crises.
And Ronald on the side didn't interject at this time, because he also figured out something.
Because he doesn't know much about the various situations in the orc world, many times some small information or details always make Ronald feel confused. But after the request just now, Ronald finally figured out something.
It is true that the cart of gold coins in the Shutun caravan was not brought from human territory to buy goods, but was the result of selling certain goods to a certain force in the Northern Wilderness Plains.
It is conceivable that the people who bought from the Hutton caravan, or the forces, would be the goods they were looking for?
Fine salt, medicines, or other daily necessities?
No, by no means.
Because these things can be exchanged for animal skins and other things.
Unless it's something more needed, like weapons, armor......
And Max did show a panicked and angry expression when he saw the gold coins that day, and even accused them of secretly colluding with the bandits...... With Max's knowledge of the Northern Wilderness Plains and the orc tribes, he was able to say this, and it was certainly not purely based on imagination.
However, the orc tribe did not have gold coins in circulation, so where did the tens of thousands of gold coins paid by the bandits who traded come from?
The only thing Ronald could think of was plundering human territory......
There are two kingdoms adjacent to the Northern Wilderness Plains in human territory, and if one of them hints that the bandits of the orcs are plundering their hostile forces......
No, it must be the great nobles in the human kingdom who can make such a decision, and only they have the guts, background, and enough power to play such a game.
They don't even need to negotiate or communicate with the orc bands of thieves, just tell them that they can only buy weapons with human gold, and then suggest that their defenses are lax in the territory of one of their hostile forces.
In order to get enough weapons, the orc thieves plundered the human territory without the slightest psychological pressure. Anyway, even if there are no such weapons, the orcs have been constantly attacking human territory for thousands of years, so it would not hurt to occasionally fight the autumn wind and plunder.
It's as if 'A' took a fancy to a gem in 'B's house, but couldn't do it himself, so he found a robber. Induce robbers with something that is enough to arouse their interest...... For example, tell him that if he wants to get this item, he must exchange it for the gems in B's house.
Needless to say, as long as what 'A' brings out is really attractive enough for the robber, then the robber will naturally find an opportunity to visit 'B''s house.
Even, 'A' can secretly reveal some topographical drawings about 'B''s house, defense deployment, and so on.
A and B can be two countries, or two noble families...... Anyway, as long as there are two conflicting forces, they can indirectly consume each other's strength in this way.
It's just that the bandits who traded with the Sydon caravan seem to be extremely bad news for the Hammer Tribe after getting those weapons and equipment.
It seems that they can already roughly guess which group of thieves it is.
This is indeed not difficult, because any power has its own territory. It's like tribe and tribe, town and town, country and nation......! I just don't know if this thief group will be the green wolf thief group that I came into contact with before?
Ronald didn't understand the division of forces here, and he didn't dare to make blind judgments.
However, while the shaman and Thorn were worried about the impending 'terrible danger', Ronald unconsciously put his mind on the orc thieves.
If some of the nobles of the human race and the orc thieves really had a private deal similar to what Ronald had guessed, then the orc thieves must have looted gold coins from human territory.
How many bandits were in orc territory, how many were secretly in agreement with the human nobles, and how much gold did they loot from human territory?
A stream of heat ran up Ronald's body and into his head.
Ronald's body trembled, and it was because of the trembling of excitement!
[The host triggers a personal quest - grow into a bandit!]
[Mission Explanation - Please become a 'big bandit' who robs human territory, the real bandit should completely abandon the concept of morality, whether it is family, position, bloodline, or even race, it should not be the shackles of a bandit!]
[Mission Requirements-The host will attack and loot a human town in the name of a group of thieves within half a year!]
[Quest Reward 1 - Host title upgraded to 'Infamous'.] 】
[Task Reward 2 - One percent of the team points obtained by the future raids of the thief group owned by the host will be handed over to the host's personal points!]
[The big bandit system will be upgraded, this upgrade is to cooperate with the rise of the host's 'bandit' career, in order to be able to better complete the tasks delivered by the system!]
[The system upgrade time is 3 hours!]
[Countdown to upgrade time......
Ronald's body shook, and when he heard the cold prompt of the system in his ears, a wave of surprise welled up in his heart.
"There's another quest! and you can raise your title...... You can even hand over the gains of team points to individual points!" Ronald couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.
"But the system will be upgraded, and it is to cooperate with the host to better complete the task......" Regarding this, Ronald was a little puzzled by excitement, although the system upgrade is a good thing, it seems that the upgrade will definitely be of great benefit to him.
But no matter how you look at it, there is a very strange feeling, like the system is very humane and expects Ronald to complete the task, and even does not hesitate to open the door to provide Ronald with the greatest help he can!
Just think, the system has its own thinking and wisdom!
"Chief, shaman, oh no......" A bear-man warrior burst in from outside the tent.
Thorn jumped up from the ground, grabbed the bear-man warrior and asked, "What's the matter, is it the bandits coming again?"
"No, not bandits. The bearman warrior was startled by Thorn's cold tone and angry eyes, and then explained, "It's someone from the Golden Lion tribe who is here...... Just now, a warrior from the Golden Lion tribe came and said that their young chief was passing by on a safari, so let the chief and the shaman go out to meet him himself!" (To be continued.) )
