Chapter 42: The Black Beast Mercenary Group
"Captured orcs?"
In the unnoticed sky, a large red plush blanket floated silently there, with a strange eye in the middle of the blanket.
[Stuffy Blanket: Construct creatures, which can grapple or suffocate small creatures, and the appearance is the same as that of ordinary blankets]
At this time, Ron was controlling the stuffy blanket to check the situation on the ground remotely.
He made "a little" improvement to the magical construct, adding a living eyeball.
This allows it to be manipulated to see places that are not easily accessible.
"Hmm... It's a little weird, take another look. ”
Ron continued to view the crowd-numbered convoy through the eyes of a stuffy blanket.
There are hundreds of people in this mercenary team! Humans in their sixties, orcs in their thirties.
They had twelve transports and thirty wildebeests.
The black-pressed convoy loomed in the forest.
The cars were all humans, and the orcs who followed them on foot were all walking slowly with handcuffs and collars.
Looks like a group of slave catchers.
The crowded crowd of slaves was like a scavenger on a rotting corpse, one by one.
If you walk a little slower, you will be scolded and urged by the caretakers behind you.
The orcs all had uniform ice-blue hair, fingers in the shape of wolf claws, and a long wolf tail hanging from the ground behind them.
It looks like a group of Ice Wolf Clan orcs.
Look at the wounds on their bodies, big and small.
I think it's the spoils of war after some orc tribe was defeated.
In the Kingdom of Roses, orcs are an expensive form of slavery.
Their status is low, but their strength is not weak, and many large families will raise some orc slaves and do some heavy work.
Some mine owners will also hire some orcs, half-orcs, and Warcraft to mine.
These guys dig up to three humans at a time, and their wages can only be the lowest salary set by the kingdom.
It's the best black slave!
Even if you are a non-slave orc, if you are killed by humans while walking on the road, you only need to pay a certain amount of atonement coins to the royal family.
This race, which was born of the union of humans and orcs, was neither recognized by the orc empire nor enjoyed the treatment of humans.
The vast majority of orcs are not born out of love......
They were born as if they were born to be wrong.
As more and more slave hunters appeared, most of the orcs on the continent fled to sparsely populated areas.
Such as the Warcraft Plains, the Ice Peak Mountains, the Ibi Great Forest, and so on.
Even so, it is impossible to avoid the reality that wealth is moving.
The deeper they hide, the more valuable they become.
Driven by the gold coins, many mercenary groups rushed to the Warcraft Plains and other areas to find those weak orc tribes, and bring them back to the royal capital to sell them for a good price.
Now, the average townsfolk can't afford to buy orc slaves.
The inhabitants of Oracle Town are even more inhospitable to orcs.
If you go back to the roots, you can trace it back to a turmoil in the Kingdom of Roses a hundred years ago.
At that time, the town of Oracle was not called that......
Ron looked at the group of mercenaries quietly, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.
The trivial matter of lip reading is simple, and Aunt George next door will.
Ron uses magic to eavesdrop on the conversation between them.
This mercenary group is called the [Black Beast Mercenary Group].
They had just captured these orcs from a tribe in the Warcraft Plains and were going to take them to the royal capital to sell to the group of noble lords.
You must know that the Ice Wolf Clan Half-Orcs are very popular in the king, because this clan is rich in handsome men and beautiful women, and there are very few ugly Ice Wolf Clan Half-Orcs.
Especially for the children of the Ice Wolf Clan, they can get a high price of more than 50 gold coins!
Both men and women!
The high remuneration made this group of mercenaries who licked blood on the tip of the knife completely crazy.
They risked total annihilation into the Beast Plains and managed to defeat a small tribe of orcs.
The highest strength in this black beast mercenary group is only the Golden Rank, and it cannot pose any threat to Ron.
But just in case...
A faint glow of magic flashed.
Ron nodded in satisfaction.
Maybe in the future, you can consider collecting some half-orc dependents and letting them go to find things for their travel target three in the continent.
But for now, Ron didn't want to attack the mercenary group.
Maybe it's because I'm too lazy...
After marking them, Ron stopped paying attention to the mercenaries.
This journey of more than a month allowed him to successfully light up a small part of the dimensional map.
Usually when he wakes up, he will leave the convoy and go out for a lap to increase the range of map lighting.
However, it is still early, so there is no need to rush to light up the entire world map.
[Goal 1: Participate in Vivian's 18-year-old graduation ceremony and light up the world map]
Upon completion, you will receive a reward: Divine Magic: Time Acceleration.
This travel objective comes with a map of the Karen plane.
This broken map has no function, not even friend or foe markers, just a pure terrain map.
Except for the places where Ron himself visited, all areas of the map are in a state of fog of war.
This thing is quite troublesome to develop, similar to the previous travel goal two, and it must be there in person by Ron.
He tried to get the constructors to open the map instead of him, but the system didn't respond at all.
If you think about it, just because someone else has been to a place doesn't mean you've been there, even if that person opens a video for you to share your vision.
Some things have to be done in person to get results.
"What a trouble! Dog system! ”
Ron complained mercilessly in his heart.
It's pretty good that the system doesn't fight back and doesn't scold back, and Ron gives it a five-star review.
Like those gods, if you call them their real names, the gods will sense it, just to see if the gods have the time to pay attention to you.
A name like Mecansut, Ron, usually thinks about it in his head and never says it.
After the last time he fought with the Lady of Mercy, he was sure that if he fought the gods on this plane, he would only have the power to fight back, but he would not win.
It is still necessary to accumulate strength, and low-key is the right way.
"Hmm~~"
Ron yawned, then lay his head down in Vivien's arms beside him.
Vivien straightened his head with a smile, the white mage's robes glinting.
Ron was so open, enjoying the tenderness of the girl's knee pillow.
The corners of Carol's mouth twitched on the side, indicating that he was used to this kind of scene, and he would not be shown by one person and one dragon at all.
The stalled carriage moved again, and it looked like the merchant group in front had disposed of the three corpses.
Ron flipped through the memories of the legacy in Vivien's arms.
It can't be helped, the world is so poor in entertainment, which makes Ron nostalgic for the smartphone of his previous life.
That's really a good thing, obviously there is no engraved magic array, but it can make people love it, and it will be uncomfortable if you don't open it for a day to play.
I thought of the [dragon scale phone] I made.
Ay...
It works and it works, but only the original phone function remains.
"Maybe you can consider bringing the entertainment of the previous world here?"
It's really not good to copy the novels of the previous life, and it's not bad to be a text copying the dragon?
Ron thought to himself.
But he was just thinking about it.
This kind of thing is dispensable, and he is an extremely lazy person, so he won't do this kind of thing that has no benefit.
He has no shortage of gold coins for the time being, and if he doesn't have it, he can also go to the tyrannical bigwigs to "borrow" a little.
Ron doesn't believe it, there is a faster way in this world than to rob the money?
