Carvanas, the frontier city of humanity.

It is a small but thriving overland city located at the southern foot of Mount Millsis. Compared to Telorthem, the city of Karvanas does not have a smooth trade road, let alone a high-quality and huge port, but the natural resources at the foot of the volcanic mountain give the city its own advantages.

The fertile soil produces an abundance of agricultural products, and the inexhaustible source of volcanic ash is a natural material for making concrete. The abundance of natural resources has increased productivity, and the need for a large number of high-quality goods to sell has led many merchants to target the area, and since there is no port, the caravan has become the only means of transportation, and in almost every neighborhood of the city, you can see horse-drawn carriages parked next to shops or around wholesale markets.

And every place where trade flourished was also a place where wealthy merchants gathered, and merchants would bring business to entertainment venues while discussing business, so brothels and arenas became the most popular places in the local area.

"Olos, can't you take a second look at me, a slave? You know, I sacrificed a dozen of my men to capture him, but he is a warrior who can go to the arena and earn you countless gold and silver treasures. ”

Walking in the slave market of Calvanas, Karl, the human mage who leads the team, finds his old business partner Olos. But the slave owner, who had always been a good talker, became fierce and vicious. Not because Karl's goods were bad, but because the price for which this slave was going to be sold was too high. The price of this orc is almost ten times that of other orcs, and Oros is a slave owner and a shrewd merchant, and a mercenary human merchant will not do such a profit-seeking human trade, although Abdul-Jabbar seems to be a little strong......

"He's a warrior yes, but if you sell it for two hundred Taylor coins, I can buy two lions for the money you buy him, even if this orc is strong, I believe that two lionesses are enough to bite him to death, old man, for the sake of our relationship for so many years, I advise you not to raise the price so outrageously, this orc, at most, is worth fifty." ”

On the sunny winter day of Mount Millsis, the old merchant Olos sat in his comfortable cowhide chair and spoke to Karl. Although in his heart Olos knew that the orc in front of him might be a priceless treasure, Carl was a magician with an identity, and his ability was very strong, and he was able to kill and injure more than ten people under the condition that he led the team, which shows that this orc does have a set of fighting. But business negotiation is like this, the more you want the goods, the more you want to lower its price, say that it is not good, let the seller make more concessions, and when it reaches a certain range, it is convenient to clap the deal.

"I don't sell fifty, old friend. ”

Karl stared at his old friend in business and replied with some resentment. Indeed, the loss of a dozen subordinates in exchange for the price of half a lion is simply not proportional to the gain. As Karl spoke, he drove his men to pull the carriage, and the wounded Jabbar was locked in the cage, looking at the world outside the cage with a weak breath, for the first time, the orc uncle felt the sadness and helplessness of the animals, they were locked in such a small cage by humans all day long, and they could not even stretch their waists, they could only bend their arms to pick up the food in the bowl, which felt worse than death.

"Hehe, Karl, can you advise you, in the entire Varna market, only I know your identity and ability, you spent so much money to capture this orc, I naturally know his value, but in the entire market, except for me, no one knows your identity and ability, these days, what is it to catch an orc and kill a few mercenaries. Therefore, the slaves that cannot be sold on my side will only be cheaper in others. ”

Carl was about to set off, but he hesitated a little when he heard Olos's words. Indeed, as a top student of the Teletum Academy of Magic, it is very undignified to do this kind of slave smuggling business in private, and Olos was also a chance to find out his true identity, so he started a long-term business with himself, but other people in this market really don't know. So doing business with other buyers in this market, ordinary goods can be cleared, high-end goods, and no one will recognize Carl's strength, because they don't know Carl's true identity at all.

"Eighty Taylor, the lowest price. ”

Gritting his teeth, Karl placed the final numbers in front of Olos. No matter how low it is, other slave owners will ask for it, so this business is actually won by Olos......

"Deal. ”

waited until the other party spoke, and Olos pretended to be merciful and accepted it, and he got cheap and sold it, which is the behavior of profiteers.

"Okay, man, now go to the warehouse with my servant to get the money, and by the way, go to the ** courtyard I opened to relax, you must be very nervous to catch the orcs, seeing that you are so tired and come back this time, you should be comfortable." ”

Carl was ruthless and sold Abdul-Jabbar to Oros, who did not forget to push his own product out in the final link of the deal. Eat, drink and have one-stop service, in this street, it can be said that it is the territory of Olos. Carl went in and had fun, of course, and it wasn't free.

"Not this time, I have to rush back to Tellerham, and I haven't finished the week's teaching yet. "Carl.

......

Dark Forest, Dark Wood Fort.

"You said the humans arrested Abdul-Jabbar?"

In the depths of the Dark Forest, in the King's Hall inside the Dark Wood Castle, Raphael was telling Arthur about what happened in the Tear Rain Forest not long ago, but for such a thing, Arthur, the king of the Dark Forest, was obviously surprised, and even a little unconvinced. Just ten years ago, humans and orcs joined forces to fight against the undead, but now only ten years have passed, and the battle between orcs and humans has come again, you must know that ten years is like a human for elves for one minute, the last moment they are still brothers in the handshake alliance, and the next moment they repeatedly become enemies, this kind of thing is called how the elves accept.

"Hmm. ”

Raphael replied firmly and anxiously. She wants Arthur to save Abdul-Jabbar, no matter what means.

"But humans and orcs have just signed a peace treaty, and now it's only been ten years since the last war of the dead, what is the reason for the humans in Shannan and the orcs in the north to fight again?"

Arthur asked.

"I don't know, but the human wizard attacked Jabbar and captured him, and I saw it with my own eyes. Lord Arthur, you're the only one who can help me now. ”

Rafael stood in the audience, almost about to shed tears, for the sake of Jabbar, the elf girl gave up the way home, and resolutely followed the uncle on the "road of no return", now, if even Jabbar is gone, Rafael has no sustenance in this life.

"Okay, I'll help you find out about this, but before that, I can't go directly to Khedira, if he deliberately started the war, then when he knows that Abdul-Jabbar is in the hands of his own people, he will definitely send someone to stab Abdul-Jabbar, then our efforts will backfire, Hradi is not as bright as his father, we must be careful about this matter. ”

Arthur, the king of the elves, said cautiously, and Raphael was also glad that he had found the right person, thousands of years of knowledge and rich experience made the leader of the dark forest always think one step more than others when thinking about things, and such thoughts and vigilance were not thought of by Raphael before he came.
