Seeing that the lion-headed human beast was honest, the boss angrily threw the wooden stick aside, put on a smiling face again, and said to Shen silently: "Hehe, don't bother with this guy, let's continue to watch the howling wolf." ”

Shen Mo didn't shift his gaze to the Howling Wolf, but stared at the lion-headed human beast and asked, "Why do you have an orc here?"

That's right, the one who was locked in the cage by the boss was the orcs, like humans, the higher creatures who lived in the cold land of the far north; although the intelligence was slightly weaker than the humans, but the combat effectiveness and adaptability were stronger; when the human race and the demon race were in a war, the human race invited the orcs as allies to jointly resist the demon race; in that battle, the most heroic ones who rushed to the forefront were always the orcs.

Although the boss didn't want to mention this lion-headed human beast, the concept that the customer is God was deeply rooted in the boss's heart, since he asked silently, he had to answer patiently: "This guy I met when I went to the north to do business, he wanted to rob my caravan, but was captured by the accompanying guards; I originally wanted to kill him directly to set an example, but then I felt that the orcs were relatively rare now, and maybe I could sell some money, so I brought it back; however, no one cared, after all, no one wanted to let the orcs be their war pets." ”

"For what?" Shen Mo frowned, puzzled.

The boss explained: "First, because the orcs helped us at the beginning, if the orcs are regarded as war pets, there will be some suspicion of revenge, which is disdainful of everyone, and secondly, because this guy's strength is very average, after all, even the guards accompanying the caravan can catch it, how can he face those powerful opponents?"

As soon as these words came out, the lion-headed human beast in the cage pursed its lips and muttered: "I was caught by you because I haven't eaten for nearly half a month, and I can't lift any strength up and down;

Hearing this, the boss glared at the lion-headed human beast and said disdainfully: "Don't blow it, if you are really so powerful, why can't you even eat a meal?"

"That's because ......" The lion-headed beast was about to say why, but the words came to his lips and swallowed back, as if he was worried about something.

Compared with the boss's disdain, Shen Mo paid some attention to the lion-headed human beast; when he was in the trapped dragon tower in the academy, the mechanical beasts he had seen were all lion-headed human bodies, and he didn't care much about it at first, but at this time, he saw the guy in front of him, and there was almost no difference between the mechanical beast, which couldn't help but silently guess that when the mechanical beast was built, it was not based on the population of the guy in front of him, if this was the case, then this lion-headed human beast was amazing.

After a brief moment of thought, he spoke silently and whispered to the lion-headed human beast, "What's your name?"

"What do you care?" the lion-headed man seemed to be reluctant to see silence, or perhaps not to see all humans.

The hot face was attached to the cold ass, and the silence was a little embarrassed, but he didn't give up, the corners of his mouth went up, and he continued: "If you want to leave here, just tell me your name, unless you want to stay in the cage all the time." ”

Hearing this, the body of the lion-headed human beast was agitated, and it looked at Shen Mo in disbelief: "Can you save me?"

Silent shrugged his shoulders noncommittally: "Look at your performance, if you are in line with my heart, I will buy you back and participate in the Hundred Courtyard Martial Arts with me, after the game is over, no matter what the result is, I will terminate the war pet contract and let you go." But if you don't cooperate, then I'm sorry, I didn't say what I just said. ”

"My name is Jin Rong. ”

The lion-headed man didn't answer Silence's question directly, but giving his name was enough to show that he accepted Silence's suggestion.

The corners of Shen Mo's mouth rose slightly: "Very good, can you tell me where you come from?" I will never believe that you are an ordinary bandit." "Silence uses a tentative tone, because Silence knows that some secrets can be said, and some secrets cannot be said; after all, everyone has secrets that cannot be seen, and no one is purely like a blank sheet of paper, otherwise it is not in accordance with human nature.

Of course, it is a bit inappropriate to talk about human nature with the orc in front of me, but the orc's reaction is similar to what Shen Mo expected, the expression on his face is very embarrassed, and he said: "That's right, I am indeed not a bandit, and I have to rob the boss's caravan as a last resort; ”

"Hehe, you're too worried, I don't want to probe into your past, after all, I took you with me, and I need to know your details, otherwise if you are a criminal, or something that endangers my safety, wouldn't I have caused a lot of trouble?"

After a short silence, the orc didn't know how to answer, and after a short silence, he said, "I can't say anything else, but one thing I can be sure of is that if I follow you, I will indeed get you into trouble in the future, but I am not a villain. ”

Shen Mo stared at the bright eyes of the orc, and after a moment, he smiled slightly, "I believe in you." ”

"Then do you still want to buy me?" Jin Rong asked with little confidence, after all, no one wants to buy a burden, and if Shen Mo refuses, the orcs will never blame him.

Shen Mo did care more about the fact that Jin Rong would bring trouble to him, but Jin Rong told himself this very honestly in advance, which made Shen Mo's feelings for Jin Rong instantly increase to a good level;

Shen Mo calculated in his heart that as long as the martial arts fight in the Hundred Courtyards ended, he and Jin Rong would have nothing to do with it, so after a short period of deliberation, Shen Mo turned to look at the boss and said, "He, I bought it." ”

Not only did the boss not expect Shen Mo to buy an orc, but even Leng Dong was unexpected;

Before the boss could speak, Leng Dong pulled Shen Mo aside and whispered to dissuade him: "Shen Mo, you better not buy him; first, this guy is an orc, and second, even the caravan guards can clean him up, which is enough to see that his strength is very limited; most importantly, this guy's origin is unknown, what if he causes any trouble?"

Shen Mo smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand and patted Leng Dong's shoulder, and said in a calm and firm tone: "I have enough troubles, I am not afraid of another one, you can rest assured, as long as the martial arts fight in the Hundred Courtyards is over, I will have nothing to do with him again." ”

Since Shen Mo said so, Leng Dong has nothing to say.

"Boss, you can make a price. Shen looked at Jin Rong with silent eyes and said casually.

The boss really didn't expect Jin Rong to be able to sell it, and for a while he didn't know what kind of price Lu Dao should offer; it may be because of the shrewd character of the businessman, after a moment of confusion, the boss immediately came to offer a price that made Leng Dong want to go up and kick him twice.

"Just give a hundred gold. ”

This price frightened Jin Rong, looking at the boss's face and resentment, thinking that the boss clearly did not want to sell himself, otherwise how could he offer such an outrageous price; at the same time, Jin Rong looked at Shen Mo almost in despair, worried that Shen Mo would retreat in the face of such a price, but Jin Rong was surprised to find that there was no hesitation in Shen Mo's eyes.

"Deal!"

Shen Mo said cleanly.

Everyone didn't expect Shen Mo to be so crisp, even the boss was a little caught off guard, and the expression on his face was both happy and puzzled: "I'm talking about a hundred gold, not a hundred silver." ”

"I know. ”

Under the incomprehensible gaze of the boss and Leng Dong, Shen Mo looked at Jin Rong and said with a smile: "Money is easy to obtain, but valuable partners are hard to find. ”

One sentence made Jin Rong's eyes instantly complicated; from birth to the present, Jin Rong has been accustomed to seeing deceit, and has experienced so many conspiracies and calculations that others cannot imagine; once upon a time, his own brothers stabbed him in the back, making him despair of this world; but at this moment, this man appeared in front of him and said something that even his loved ones had never said.

After the rebellion and separation, it is a human being who extends a helping hand to himself, and at the same time completely trusts himself.

Moved, moved, but also resentful!

Jin Rong gritted his teeth, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly said in his heart: "Even a human being is like this to me, but you have forced me into this field, one day, I will let you pay back tenfold!"

After paying, the boss happily opened the iron cage and removed the heavy chains on Jin Rong's hands and feet, so that Jin Rong, who had been imprisoned for more than half a year, finally regained his freedom.

The first thing Jin Rong did when he left the iron cage was to stretch out his arms, spread his chest, raise his head to face the sky, take a deep breath of freedom, and then turned his head to look at the boss, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

The boss chuckled in his heart, took a step back unconsciously, and his face was a little frightened: "Jin Rong, if I were you, I would never do anything stupid, you are finally free now, if you dare to touch me a hair, then you will not be locked in a cage, but in prison!"

To be honest, Shen Mo was also worried that Jin Rong would seek revenge from his boss, after all, he had been deprived of his freedom for more than half a year, and no one could accept this kind of thing.

But then Shen Mo found that his worries were superfluous, only to see Jin Rong smile indifferently, stretched out his strong and powerful hand, and patted the boss's shoulder, which scared the boss into a tremble.

"Thank you. ”

The boss couldn't imagine that Jin Rong would say such an unbelievable thing, he had locked Jin Rong in a cage for more than half a year, and he didn't treat him as a human being at all during this half a year, and he was not even treated as good as other demon beasts.

Perhaps seeing everyone's confusion, Jin Rong explained: "To tell you, before I was caught by the boss, I was endlessly pursued, and I could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests, surviving for a long time. ”

It turned out that this was the case, and everyone suddenly realized.

The boss's frightened face disappeared, he stood up straight, and instantly felt that he was a great good person, and said with a smile: "Little favor and small favor, why worry about it." ”

As soon as the words fell, Jin Rong's hand on the boss's shoulder suddenly forced, and the boss, who was still smiling just now, instantly froze, and then let out a miserable howl.

"You...... What are you going to do?!" The pain in his shoulder made the boss sweat profusely, and he endured the pain, looked at Jin Rong, and asked in horror.
