Chapter 8 Mystery Buyers
"Roar. ”
Tucker roared and slashed off the head of a human guard, and the detached body erupted with a cloud of warm red blood. The orcs, led by Tucker, the chief of the Blood Axe Clan, attacked the human town of Gryffindor. The human merchants and nobles on the streets were chopped into meat sauce by dozens of orc warriors.
But this was only the action of a few orcs, and after the arrest of the Great Chief Paladin, the orcs were left without a leader and locked in their own battles. Volker, the chief of the Frostwolf Clan, tried to re-form the tribe, but his prestige was not enough to unite all the orc clans.
"How many humans are hiding in that town hall?"
Gryffindor has been defeated by the Bloodaxe Clan, and Bloodaxe Chief Tucker asks Volker beside him on the blood-soaked battlefield.
"I don't know, maybe there are about 500 people. ”
Volker said, raising his tomahawk and slashing at a human infantryman at the door.
"Brothers, push the catapult up. ”
Glancing at the huge building ahead, the last of the human town's strongholds. Many human soldiers surrounded the building, fending off the furious onslaught of the orcs.
"Tucker, you want to destroy that building?"
Volker was very resistant to the decision of the Bloodaxe Chieftain.
"Do you want to show mercy to your men? ”
Tucker said, turning to Volker. The Frostwolf Clan and the Bloodaxe Clan were the first clans to break free from Bloodroar's brutal rule in World War I, and Tucker and Volker were also best friends. But at this moment, when faced with the question of whether to slaughter the city, the two sides have shown two completely different positions.
"There were a lot of women and children in that building, and they didn't raise their arms against us at all, and we shouldn't have slaughtered unarmed civilians. ”
Volcker replied calmly. The Frostwolf Clan has always valued the orc tradition above all else, and has honored it. The slaughter of defenseless prisoners of war or civilians has always been a deplorable act for orcs.
"But do humans have such compassion for us, and do our people have such compassion when they are being put in cages and abused?"
Tucker, the Bloodaxe Chieftain, roared at Volker's stance, expressing his strong displeasure. But his words are also true, when humans attacked orc villages, they did not show mercy to the orc children, all those who took up arms, those who did not take up arms, all were slaughtered by human blood, all who could be captured alive were captured alive and sent to human mines or construction sites to become coolies, and some who could fight were sent to the arena to slaughter each other and become tools for human entertainment.
“......”
Volker didn't say anything more, just let his people continue to clear the streets of all the rebellious human infantry, warriors. The next moment, the warriors of the Bloodaxe Clan threw incendiary bombs filled with hot oil at the massive town hall in the center of town. There, the cries and screams of the people mingled.
Calvanas, the market for weapons and armor.
"Hey man, today I brought you a brand new weapon and armor, which you promise you've never seen before, it's worth a fortune, and I promise it's the best I've ever had since I went out hunting. ”
Two days ago, he had just sold the orc slaves he had caught, and now, the human mage Karl had gone to another block of Calvanas, which was also an equipment trading market, to sell these two orc equipment.
Since the trading market for all tools and iron tools is separate from the slave market, and there are also merchants specializing in the purchase of weapons, Carl does not cooperate with his old partner Olos in the purchase and sale of weapons and equipment, he is a wealthy merchant specializing in the slave trade, but he is reluctant to involve in the purchase and sale of weapons and armor.
Compared to the orc prisoners of war that Carl was sold two days ago, what he was going to sell today was not an ordinary piece of equipment, but the starpower warhammer that Jabbar once held in his hand and the Ugin armor in his backpack. These two pieces of equipment are indeed priceless in this small human border town, and can crush all the weapons and equipment on the market now, but people in remote areas are usually unreadable, and even Carl, a high-ranking mage from the capital of Teletem, does not know the significance of these two pieces of equipment. In the eyes of the mercenaries, these are two exquisite weapons and equipment, and the sparkling gem becomes their only measure of the value of this weapon......
"Haha, old friend, every time you say that, but not once has your harvest interested me, except for recycling the broken copper and iron in the orc's house......"
Cecil, a human weapons dealer, was about to finish his words as before, but the next moment, when Karl ordered his men to lift the weapons out of the package, Cecil couldn't believe his eyes, it was the largest war hammer he had ever seen in his life, the whole war hammer was almost the height of an adult human, the pure silver hammer body bloomed with pure beauty on the shelves of the shop, and the delicate workmanship and incomparable design immediately attracted the attention of all passers-by in the shop.
"Oh, oh, I can't believe my eyes, where did you find such a perfect hammer?"
Impressed by the perfect appearance of the Storm Warhammer, Cecil froze in place, gently stroking the Star Power Gem on the surface of the Warhammer. At this moment, the Storm Warhammer was displayed like a work of art.
"You don't have to worry about this, I just need to know how much money you can pay?"
Seeing Cecil's exaggerated expression, Carl knew that the deal was going on, but the mage still sat down in his chair and began to pretend, he just had to wait for the partner in front of him to speak, and then decide whether to sell it or not. Compared to selling Jabbar, the equipment on that orc was more popular.
"How much do you want to sell?"
Shaking off the shock, Cecil began to scrutinize the current owner of the hammer with a sinister eye. In fact, Cecil knew that with the true value of this war hammer, I was afraid that even if he sold the entire shop, it would not be enough to buy this weapon, but he couldn't rob it, there were many passers-by present, and Carl also had seven or eight people with him, all of whom were battle-hardened mercenary veterans. It is impossible to buy and sell strongly.
"At least that's the number. ”
Karl sat down in his chair and gestured leisurely.
"A hundred Taylor?"
Cecil was a little excited, and his fat little hands trembled unconsciously.
"Nope. ”
Karl shook his head.
"A thousand Taylors?"
Carl's statement made Cecil's fluttering heart almost jump out. The price of a thousand Taylors, ten lions, is the same as the price of a hundred human slaves. This seems to be a reasonable price, but Cecil is entangled, even if he sells his shop, I'm afraid it will be worth five hundred Taylor coins, and to buy this weapon, there is still half the currency, but this warhammer is definitely worth the money.
The crowd of onlookers grew, and everyone was attracted by this perfect warhammer.
"Hurry up and give a reply, if you can't afford it, I'll go to the next one." ”
Seeing more and more onlookers, Carl vaguely felt uneasy, such a conspicuous transaction is not suitable for such a market, not to mention how he obtained this weapon, if there is a monitoring team to come, I am afraid that he will not be able to wash it.
"Wait, a thousand Taylor, I bought it. ”
An unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared in the crowd, and following the direction from which the voice came, Carl looked curiously, and a man wearing a large black cloak walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
"Hello, I want to make sure you have that much money on you?"
Carl was shocked by the stranger's bold actions, a thousand taylor coins is enough to buy a mansion in the city, who would be fine to wander around the streets with so much money, but the man in front of him doesn't seem to be lying, he is very tall and strong, and the black cloak hides his face, making it impossible to see his true face.
"Give. ”
In the next second, the mysterious buyer took out a bag of bulging wallets from his backpack and pulled out a brand new bill from his pocket. The purse was very large, and it was filled with Taylors, and Carl roughly estimated that the five bags of wallets were as many as five hundred Taylors, plus the bill...... The man in front of him may really have that much cash to buy......
But who is he? Why is he so interested in this weapon, Karl doesn't know, he doesn't want to know, he just wants to sell the weapon as soon as possible, since the other party can afford such a price, the deal is a matter of course.
"Alright, now it's yours. ”
After taking the bill and counting the gold coins in the five bags of wallets, Carl was satisfied, and had the Storm Hammer lifted off the table.
"Wait, it's heavy. ”
The mysterious man waited until Karl had confirmed the receipt of the money, and then he was about to take the hammer away. But the mage kindly reminded the stranger. When Carl got this war hammer, it took three mercenaries to lift it, and the man in front of him, no matter how strong his arm was, would never be able to lift this weapon.
"Thanks for the reminder. ”
But in the next second, to Carl's dumbfounded, the mysterious and strange man directly grabbed the war hammer with one hand, put it into his crude sack, and walked out of Cecil's weapons shop in the surprised eyes of the crowd.
