Chapter 18: Intrigues

"What? You mean you saw an orc mage in the arena who would unleash a ghost wolf?"

The Balu family, Baru's daughter Naris, is happily returning from the arena and telling her father about the wonderful scene that just happened in the blood arena. As the daughter of a landlord, Naris actually has no talent for learning magic, but since the death of the human archmage Azara, no one has been able to strictly control the magic academy, and a large number of mediocre noble children have been sent to study at the Telertham Magic Academy, and graduation certificates are issued after less than two or three months, while it is difficult for truly talented people to enter the academy to study. And Naris, the daughter of the Baru family, is one of these low-level magic graduates. There are some basic judgments about magic, but as long as a higher level of phenomena appears, they don't even know why it is, and they don't even know that there are no mages among the orcs.

"Well, that orc mage will not only unleash ghost wolves, but also fire elementals. ”

Balu asked his daughter in shock, but Naris only happily replied, not noticing the change in her father's face.

"It's not something that a mage can do, and there are no mages among the orcs. You guys are naΓ―ve. ”

In the face of his daughter's innocent answer, Lao Balu can be said to hate women and not become phoenixes. But right now, the most important thing is not to educate his daughter, but to warn the owner of the so-called orc mage.

Four hours later, the Academy of Olos Gladiators.

"Olos, I heard from my daughter today that she saw an orc from your school in the arena, who not only summons fire elementals, but also summons ghost wolves to assist him in battle?"

Four hours later, when old Baru found Oros with a big belly, the rich man was in his yard, enjoying the nourishment of women and wine, and Jabbar brought him a great deal of wealth, making Olos's fortune richer than many of the city's first-tier nobles.

"Well, yes, orc mage, sounds cool, doesn't it? haha. ”

Seeing that Balu, who was also a nobleman, came to visit late at night, Oros was not much surprised, every time they talked about business in the past, it was also at this point, and few businesses between nobles were legitimate business......

"You're wrong, you're all wrong, Olos, there are no mages among the orcs, and what you caught may be a shaman. ”

Balu took the wine from the servant, drank it as a thirst-quenching water, and then anxiously voiced his worries.

"Shaman, what is it, can you eat it?"

The first time he heard this word, Olos seemed a little surprised. It is common knowledge that humans have mages, but orcs have shamans, but this is not common sense in human society, and most humans actually don't know what an orc shaman is? Shamans rarely appear even in orc society, and of course, even fewer people know about them in human society, so today's performance of Abdul-Jabbar in the arena should be the performance of a mage...... It is even believed that summoning ghost wolves is also a skill of orc mages......

"Shamans are the spiritual leaders of the orcs, basically there are only one or two shamans in each orc clan, and usually, the shamans are their leaders, and some shamans even have a higher status than the status of the great chief. ”

Baloo continued to explain impatiently, he wanted to let the slave trader in front of him know what kind of orc figure he was imprisoning as soon as possible. But Olos, like most nobles, didn't pay attention to it at all, or didn't understand it at all, and didn't want to understand it.

"Don't you think what you're saying is ridiculous? ”

In the face of Baru's nervous explanation, Olos just smiled faintly and continued to enjoy his wine and women. Several human women were surrounding him, scratching their heads and hesitating.

"Well, whether you believe in the orcs or not, but one thing, you have to believe me, this orc in your prison must be an important player in the tribe, you either let him go quickly and prevent the orc army from attacking our city. Either you hand him over to the city magistrate and let him decide whether this orc will stay or not. Only in this way will we be able to spend the rest of our days safely. ”

Olos continued to bask in beauty and drinking, and now Balu became even more anxious, almost knotting his tongue as he spoke. However, Olos remained indifferent......

"Oros, if you don't let that orc go again, I'll tell the city magistrate about it, and let him investigate it. ”

Seeing that Olos didn't ask or not, Balu was anxious and asked directly.

"That's enough, Baru. Don't think you're planning I don't know, don't you just see my slave earn so much money for me, and you're red-eyed. If you want me to give Sara away, I won't agree, and you, if you want to get this out, then don't blame me for being ruthless to you. ”

As he spoke, Olos called for his mercenaries. Several burly human mercenaries instantly blocked Old Balu's way out.

"What do you want to do?"

The situation was not good, and the elder Balu began to ask nervously.

"Arrest him, and no one can let him out without my orders. ”

But Olos didn't explain to Balu at all, and directly ordered his private mercenaries to arrest the old man in front of him. Business friends are so unreliable in the first place...... When they talk to you about business, they call themselves brothers, and when they threaten their interests, they are like enemies.

Blackburn Pit.

"You say Jabbar was captured by a human slave owner?"

While the human lord Olos was fighting with the other nobles to protect his property, Essalivan had already arrived at the dwarven mines in a carriage and found his former comrade-in-arms, Eminem. As a member of the team that once went up to the Sword Mountain and went down to the sea of fire with Jabbar, although Eminem was the weakest in this team, the reason why Esalivan found him was because Eminem had accumulated a lot of wealth through contracting mines in the past few years, and the human nobles recognized money but not people, so maybe they could rescue Abdul-Jabbar bloodlessly through this way?

"Well, I spoke to him alone, and he said that on his own, it would be difficult to get out of that prison. ”

Esalivan replied.

"So I guess you've found a way?"

Eminem looked at Esalivan, he knew that his former mage comrade had a smart little head, whether it was on the battlefield where he was reborn in danger or in the intricacies of social circles, Esalivan was the smartest of the five.

Eminem put down all his work and walked into his common room with the human female mage. At the same time, he listened carefully to Esalivan's plans and arrangements.

"The gladiator academy where Jabeur is being held is called Graeme Academy, and it is the asset of a human being called Olos. I have asked people about this Olos, he is a petty bourgeoisie who regards money as his life, and he can do anything for money, and he is also a shrewd businessman. I want to save Abdul-Jabbar peacefully, so I want to use your money to ransom Abdul-Jabbar. That way we don't have to risk our lives to go to prison and we don't have to hurt innocent people. ”

Esalivan said slowly, and between her words, she still revealed elegance and serenity. Even in such an emergency.

"But that's a lot more money......"

The natural thirst for power of the human aristocracy is like the natural thirst for wealth of the dwarves, everyone has their own weakness, and Eminem's weakness, like all dwarves, is to care about money.

"I know, and at least four figures...... If Abdul-Jabbar became famous, we might have had less money to redeem him, but now, Abdul-Jabbar has become the god of war in the arena, and Olos will never give up his cash cow easily, and we have to prepare a lot of money. ”

Esalivan had known about Eminem's reaction for a long time, but she also knew that as long as it was for Abdul-Jabbar, Eminem would be willing. It just takes a while to buffer this dwarf, after all, the temptation of money is still too great for the dwarf.

"Okay, I'll take out all the profits from the past two years, hoping to save our boss. ”

Eminem sat on the small chair and thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind to take out his hard-earned money to rescue his former iron buddy.
