Chapter 056: An Unusual Transaction (Part I)
To the southwest, in an open meadow at the edge of a forest, a group of orcs rested around. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There were about four or five hundred of them, most of whom were men in appearance, dressed in simple coarse cloth clothes, and some wore simple wallets
, the vital parts of the leather armor are covered with broad animal bones.
In appearance, these orcs have distinctly beastly characteristics. Such as long pointed ears, protruding fangs, and a much taller body than humans
。 But if you look closely, you can see that these orcs are very similar to humans. There is no thick body hair in most parts of the body,
The facial features are very similar to those of humans, with only the teeth and ears distinct, and at first glance these orcs have few of them in common with humans
Distinguish.
According to legend, the origin of the orcs originated more than 30,000 years ago. The orcs died in large numbers due to the plague, which almost destroyed the orc tribe
。 I don't know which orc started, but the orcs discovered that humans who were supposed to be slaves and food could also mate with orcs for production. For the sake of reproduction
, the orcs began to mate with the predatory human women, thus giving birth to newborn orcs.
It's just that among the newborn orcs, there are both newborn cubs that are no different from orcs, and there are those who are very similar to humans and have lost their orc appearance
Newborns, this is what later became orcs.
At first, the orcs didn't really care, after all, they were all children of the orcs. It's just that the situation of the orc plague has improved, and the orcs have multiplied
After the problem was solved, the newborns, who were very different in appearance from the orcs, became thorns in the side of the orcs.
Gradually, the status of the orcs became lower and lower, from the beginning of the orc children gradually declined, until in the end they were even inferior to humans.
Once the hope of orcs breeding was seen as a disgrace, and a large number of orcs were killed!
In order to survive, the orcs gathered together to resist, and with a body that was not inferior to the orcs, the orcs soon gained a place to live
plate, gradually established many tribes of half-orcs, and finally remained on the Purple Gold Continent in the form of a race.
For tens of thousands of years, the orc race has multiplied and become a powerful race in the Purple Gold Continent.
It's just that as a common close relative of humans and orcs, half-orcs have not become a bridge between the two races, but have become a common dislike of orcs and humans
and objects of spit. Gradually, the orcs no longer mentioned the fact that they were related to orcs and humans, and began to claim to be an independent race.
In the deep mountains and old forests in the south of the Zijin Dynasty, half-orc tribes and orc tribes lived in it.
Since the establishment of the Purple Gold Empire, humans have gradually begun to establish a commercial system, and a large number of merchants have appeared to supply materials such as herbs, animal skins, and precious stones
The demand has increased, and it is far from sufficient for humans to go into the mountains to gather and hunt.
As a result, trade with foreign races gradually rose and became the norm.
Although orcs and humans are hostile to each other, perhaps due to blood reasons, the communication between the two races is relatively smooth in many cases.
At least compared to orcs, dwarves, and spirits, orcs trade more with humans, and a certain market with certain rules and rules has been formed.
On this day, it was the monthly trading day agreed between the orcs and the human merchants, and the various tribes of the orcs formed a team early to come to Chang
The place of the trade, waiting for the human merchants to come over to trade.
"Anu, why hasn't anyone from the human race come yet?!" a half-orc in leather armor and armed with a huge broadsword stood at the front of the group, watching
The orc, armed with a giant hammer, asked.
"I don't know. The orc named Anu shook his head and said with a solemn expression, "Kerry, tell the brothers to be careful, don't."
Careless!"
"You mean humans cheat?" the half-orc with the broadsword asked, his eyes wide, and he asked solemnly.
"I don't know. Anu shook his head, "It's not been a day or two since we've been trading with humans, so there shouldn't be anything I'm worried about." Just no
I've heard that humanity has been very unquiet during this time, and I'm worried that the new human forces will have other ideas. ”
"Bastards, if they dare to cheat, we orcs won't give them good fruit to eat!" Kerry had an angry look on his face
。
"Be quiet. Anu glanced at the orcs behind him, pulled Kerry and whispered, "It's not that bad, I'm just."
Don't cause unnecessary panic and confusion!"
"Got it!" Kerry glanced at the orc behind him, nodded, and said solemnly.
"Look! human caravans!" the orcs standing guard on the other side suddenly pointed and shouted.
Everyone followed his fingers and saw only a contingent of humans gradually approaching here.
"Huh?!" Anu looked at the human caravan in the distance, but noticed that it was very different from before.
"What's wrong?" Kerry asked, seeing Anu look confused.
"These human caravans are different from before!" Anu said with a serious expression and after taking a closer look, "These caravans have not been like this before
Orderly, and the warriors who escorted the caravan were not as uniform as they were this time!"
"Will there be a fraud?" asked Kerry, shaking his broadsword warily.
"Probably not. Anu shook his head, "If we want to cheat, the other party will continue to paralyze us in the same way as before, and this will not happen."
This new state makes us feel strange!"
"But don't be too relaxed, inform the brothers, be careful!"
"Yes!" Kerry nodded, glanced at the human caravan in the distance, and turned to walk back.
After about a quarter of an hour, the human caravan finally came to the orcs. Anu saw it right, and it was true that this team was very different from the past
Same. Escorting the caravan was a group of masked warriors dressed in teal robes, led by a young man who did not look to be fighting.
And although many of those caravans were old people who had dealt with them before, they followed the escort team in an orderly manner from the moment they entered the trading place
Wu's instructions are to arrange the goods in an orderly manner, and will not compete for a vantage point and exchange pleasantries with himself as before.
"Hello, I am Luo Quan, the leader of the 'Howling Heaven', and I am the captain of the guard team of this caravan. The young man at the head came to Anu
He smiled and said, "Your Excellency is the Anu patriarch who has been trading with the caravan all along, right?"
"It's me. Anu nodded, glanced at the other party, and then glanced suspiciously at the merchants who had helped the merchants stand behind Luo Quan
The masked man in Tsing Yi, who was in a vantage point to escort him, said, "What is the matter with 'Xiao Heaven'?!, what about those martial artists in the past?"
"Huh. Luo Quan chuckled, glanced at the people behind him, and then said to Anu, "Twenty days ago, we were 'Howling Heaven'
It is to take over all the territory in the southwest of the Purple Gold Dynasty! In the future, it is us, and only our warrior guard caravan to deal with you
Easy!"
"Oh?!" Anu was stunned for a moment, then glanced again at the masked men and women not far away, and said vigilantly, "Can you?"
Guarantee the fairness of the transaction, and the security of the transaction?"
"Please rest assured of this. Luo Quan said without humility or arrogance, "After I 'Xiao Heaven' took over the southwest, I formulated a lot of rules.
As long as the transaction is protected by us, we will try our best to ensure the fairness of the transaction and make every effort to ensure the security of the transaction!"
"But there's one thing I want to make clear. Luo Quan said this, and said with a serious expression, "We will not stop the others from not belonging to me."
The caravans we protect will trade with you, but they will not be responsible for the fairness and safety of the trade!
There may be cases where human populations are traded with you! Once such a deal is discovered, we at Screaming Heaven will intervene to stop it
And in the future, our main trade will not be traded again with the tribe that makes this kind of trade!"
"Oh?" Anu was stunned for a moment, "We orcs aren't very keen on the trade of human slaves, but the orcs may be a little unhappy!"
”
"How do you punish the tribes and caravans who don't follow your rules?!" Anu was a little curious, he wanted to know how confident the other party could
Control before.
"This caravan. Luo Quan pointed to the merchant behind him who was putting the goods on the table, "It's my own caravan of 'Howling Heaven', we can."
Trade with you for the maximum amount and make sure there are no problems along the way! Not only that, but we'll be with you every time
After the negotiation is made, all prices are open and will be discussed with you!"
"I think in the southwest now, only this caravan of our 'Howling Heaven' can give you the maximum supply and sales quota!
Of course, if you can find a better one, we won't stop it!, but I can assure you that there won't be such a caravan!"
"I understand!" Anu is a half-orc, but he is not stupid, and he knows what the other party means when he hears it. What does it mean to guarantee that there will be no larger-scale production
It's very simple, just show up and knock out the other!
"I'm very happy with the way you trade. "Anu is also a big leader with a large scale and many vassal tribes, he
Naturally, he knew that a smooth and fair trade was fundamental, and as for the struggle within the human race, he didn't want to participate, "As long as you can ensure the fairness of the transaction."
Peace and security, I will always trade with you!"
"Thank you!" Luo Quan smiled and said to a man who looked to be in his fifties who walked up to him, "Mr. Qiu, the deal will be handed over to you."
We've told you about our principles before!"
"Yes, Commander Luo!" the man known as Mr. Qiu nodded and walked up to Anudi, "Your Excellency, let's start discussing the specifics
Trade the contents. ”
"Good. Anu glanced at Luo Quan, who was walking towards the back, and then said to Mr. Qiu, "I hope we won't suffer!"
"Rest assured, our dealings seek a win-win situation and will not make you and your people suffer ......"
