438. Abaidi's Observations
"This is a master, when I didn't kick the kick just now, he was ready to defend." Honey, the senior knight, was in the Camel Daddy Tavern, still holding the last bottle of soju in the tavern that Rand bought, and drank it all after speaking.
"It's from the Empire, this kid can read the words on the bottom of the bottle," said the dwarf bartender as he wiped his glass, "The people of the Salt and Iron Division only knew that the numbers at the bottom of the bottle were useful after several drinks. ”
"Is this wine really from the Salt and Iron Division?" Honey saw that the first floor of the tavern had been emptied, so he joked with the old hammer, "Now the entire market is selling the magic scrolls made by the Night Qicheng Academy, it is said that they have opened a shop in Dragon's Tooth City, the supply is very abundant, and the quality is very good, you can see it from the market from Abaidi to the imperial capital." You're not going to fool me with black market goods, are you? ”
"Look at what you said, my eldest brother Rozin Iron is the apprentice of Lord Sherman, what do you think I am staying in this tavern for? It's just to send the wine here to the imperial capital and give it to the people over there to taste."
The old hammer disagreed with Honey's words, "The soju I have here is the goods of the Salt and Iron Division, and the fine wine is also exclusively for Lord Sherman and the legend of the Dragon Kingdom, even if the wine can be wrong, can the porcelain vase of the life demon pattern be fake?" Isn't that grandpa of yours able to tell? ”
"Uh-huh," Honey smiled, "and can you get any goods lately?" ”
"At the end of the month, a group of barbarians came to Abaidi to deliver the iron ore, and I asked them to bring me some fine wine," said the old hammer, "but you are too late, and Grandpa Shahman has already paid the money, and it is estimated that it will be auctioned directly." ”
"It's okay, it's enough to have the goods, you can help me keep an eye on that deer man just now!" Honey waved his hand and left, leaving a few gold coins on the table.
"The family is all in a temper tantrum." The dwarf accepted the gold coin and continued to wipe the glass.
……
The city of Abaidi, the commercial capital, has a total of three areas, the core of which is the religious area, which only the priests and nobles in the city can enter;
The second is the commercial area, where orcs, half-orcs, and dwarves can enter casually, and the human race needs to be brought by orcs to enter;
The outermost part is the residential area, where there are a large number of houses, hotels and various service facilities, and the most lively thing is the notice board in the center of the residential area.
A large group of orcs drained the water around the otherwise wide notice board, and everyone was listening to the requisition orders from the orc royal court.
"All the tribes of the Hindukr Valley, this is an order from the royal court, which has declared the human nobles and their barbarian vassals who have stolen the Galloping Horse Plain to be the enemies of the royal court, and the various tribes are to join the royal army after autumn to attack the Iowa Pass!" A werewolf preached loudly, so that the Rand present also listened to it.
"It's strange, if there is a war, why don't you attack immediately? Waiting until after the fall? A few of the orcs beside Rand began to mumble quietly.
"You don't know that, do you? The barbarians of the Galloping Horse Plain still have contracts with several tribes for iron ore, and the last batch should be provided in the autumn, and the scorched wolf clan will definitely attack after getting the iron ore; The forest cat's family grows magic plants, and they have to wait until after the large-scale harvest in the autumn. Another orc explained.
"It's not all, the royal court has held several banquets in the Golden Year, and there is not much food in stock, so where can I get the army rations for the attack now?"
"But I've heard that some of the smaller tribes are ready to go?"
"It's not because there is money to be made from the attack, many tribes have spent a lot of money in the past two years, and when I heard that there are tens of thousands of gold coins to take the mountain pass, I can be positive!"
This is the purpose of Rand coming here, and the surrounding orcs have probably made up the situation on the orc's side. Before the autumn, people who were busy, small tribes came to disturb, and after autumn, everyone was idle and stopped working, and formed an army to go together.
I have the bottom in my heart, Rand feels that this trip is worth it, so he is ready to turn back to the city as soon as possible, I haven't contacted my family for the past two days, and Yeqi City may be chaotic now.
However, as soon as he got out of the city, Rand saw Honey in the tavern, as well as a dozen cat-people who were searching around, and after thinking about it carefully, Rand realized that he didn't look like a timid orc in the bar just now, so he simply took a detour to leave.
On the outskirts of the commercial capital, there is a small forest, through which you can walk a few kilometers south to reach the edge of the large forest, where the fire is placed, ready to return to the western border.
In the forest, Rand actually saw a junior thief, a 4-winged monster bullying a small leopard. At this moment, several pieces of skin on the leopard's body were scratched by the monster, and its front paws stretched out weakly into the sky in an attempt to deter the monster, but the thief was not afraid at all, and kept climbing the surrounding trees, or directly pounced and grabbed the leopard.
"I haven't petted a cat for a few days" Rand finally couldn't bear it, and drew a magic pattern casually, and the four wings of the demonic beast that was still showing off its might in the last meter seconds were covered with frost and landed directly.
The big cat looked at Rand quite vigilantly, but at this moment Rand didn't have to take it, and he could even waste a lot of fighting energy and magic power, and he came to the big cat in one sprint.
"Big cat, do you meow?" Before the leopard could react, Rand grabbed the back of the neck and drew a life pattern on his hand, and the leopard's wound began to heal slowly.
There are a lot of monsters in the house, and Rand saw that the big cat released magic was all combined, and the weak current of the lightning system gathered the lint and dust together, and more than a dozen faint water balls flowed along the big cat's hair, taking away other stains, and then the warm wind slowly blew through to make the appearance completely dry.
The big cat felt the full set of treatment, bathing, and blow-drying, stared at Rand with wide eyes, and opened his mouth for a long time and jumped a sentence of "meow~"
"You are much smarter than our Devil Tiger, she can talk to people, and she doesn't speak cat words" Rand stroked, and then took out the processed Warcraft meat steak from the ring, "Only cooked, if you want to eat raw, you can only eat the bird." ”
The big cat had no interest in the dying thief, and concentrated on eating Rant's steak, his body still rubbing around Rant's legs, and his long tail gently swept Rant's chin, which made him even more satisfied with the big cat.
"Are you pregnant?" Rand touched the big cat's belly, and roughly had an estimate, "But I can't help you bring it back, Agni won't allow you to sit on her, but I'll come over at the end of the month, we can only meet again"
Rand touched the leopard-print big cat in front of him, and said regretfully, "It's also a hundred kilometers away from the Iowa Pass, otherwise I really want to take you back directly." ”
"Meow~" The big cat quickly finished the steak and kept rubbing Rant's calf, so he got more cooked meat.
