"This is a master. When I didn't kick him just now, he was already ready to defend." Senior Knight Hornier was in the Camel Father's Tavern, still holding the last bottle of the tavern bought by Lant. Soju, I drank it in one gulp.
"He's from the Empire. This guy can read the words on the bottom of the bottle." The dwarf bartender said while wiping the glass. "People from the Salt and Iron Division only know that the numbers on the bottom of the bottle are useful after they have had several drinks." of."
"Is this wine really from the Salt and Iron Company?" Hornier saw that the first floor of the tavern had been cleared, so he joked with Old Hammer, "Now the entire market is selling magic patterns made by Ye Qicheng Academy. Scrolls, it is said that they have opened a store in Longya City. The supply is very abundant and the quality is very good. They can be seen in markets from Abaidee to the Imperial Capital. You won’t fool me with black market goods, will you?”
"Look what you said, my eldest brother Luo Zin Bintie is Lord Sherman's apprentice. Why do you think I stay in this tavern? It's just to send the fine wine here to the imperial capital for the tribesmen there to taste. of"
Old Hammer disagreed with Hornier's words, "The soju I have is from the Salt and Iron Company, and the fine wine is specially supplied to Mr. Sherman and the Legend of the Dragon Kingdom. Even if the wine can go wrong, the porcelain bottle with the magic pattern of life is still good. Can it be fake? Can't your grandfather see it?"
"Hmm," Hornier smiled, "Can you still get the goods recently?"
"At the end of the month, a group of barbarians came to Abadi to deliver iron ore. I asked them to bring me some fine wine," Old Hammer said. "But you started too late. Grandpa Shahman has already paid the money. I guess it will be directly It’s up for auction.”
"It doesn't matter. It's enough to have the goods. Please help me keep an eye on the deer man just now!" Hornier waved his hand and left, leaving a few gold coins on the table.
"This family is all short-tempered." The dwarf accepted the gold coin and continued to wipe the glass.
…
There are three areas in the city of Abadi, the commercial capital. The core is the religious area, which only the priests and nobles in the city can enter;
Next is the commercial area. Orcs, half-orcs, and dwarves can enter at will. Humans need orcs to enter;
The outermost area is the residential area, where there are a large number of houses, hotels and various service facilities. The most lively thing now is the notice board in the center of the residential area.
A large group of orcs surrounded the originally wide notice board, and everyone was listening to the recruitment orders from the orc royal court.
"All the tribes in the Hindukel Valley, this is an order from the Royal Court. The Royal Court declares that the human nobles and their barbarian vassals who have stolen the Galloping Horse Plain are the enemies of the Royal Court. Each tribe must fight against the Royal Court's army after the autumn. Let’s meet up and attack Iowa Pass together!” A werewolf declared loudly, making Lant present hear it clearly.
"It's strange. If there really is a war, why don't we attack immediately? Do we have to wait until after autumn?" Several orcs around Lant began to whisper.
"You don't know this, right? The barbarians in the Benma Plains have iron ore contracts with several tribes. They should provide the last batch in autumn. The Jiaolang tribe will definitely get the iron ore before attacking; Lin Those who grow magic plants in the Cat family have to wait until the large-scale harvest in the autumn." Another orc explained.
"That's not all. There have been several banquets held in Jinnian in the royal court, and there is not much food left. Where can we get military food for the attack now?"
"But I heard that some small tribes are ready to set off?"
"It's not just because you can earn money by attacking. Many tribes have spent a lot of money in the past two years. When I heard that the mountain pass was captured with tens of thousands of gold coins, I became more active!"
This is the purpose of Lant coming here. The orcs in the surrounding area roughly gathered the situation on the orcs' side through their words. Before autumn, when people were busy, small tribes came to harass them. After autumn, when everyone had a slack time in farming and stopped working, they formed an army and went together.
Feeling confident, Lant felt that the trip was worth it, so he prepared to fight against the city as soon as possible. He hadn't contacted his family in the past two days, so Yeqicheng might be in chaos right now.
However, just after leaving the city, Rant saw Hornier who he met in the tavern, as well as a dozen cat people who were searching around. After thinking about it carefully, Rant realized that he didn't look like a timid half-orc in the bar just now. , so I simply took a detour and left.
There is a small forest on the outskirts of the commercial capital. Walking a few kilometers south through the forest, you can reach the edge of the large forest. The fire is placed there, waiting to return to the western border at any time.
In the forest, Lant actually saw a junior mandarin thief. This 4-winged monster was bullying a small leopard. At this moment, several pieces of skin on the leopard's body were scratched by the monsters, and its front paws stretched feebly toward the sky in an attempt to deter the monsters. However, the rogue maniac was not afraid at all, and kept climbing up the surrounding trees, or pounced directly to catch the leopard.
"I haven't played with my cat for a few days." Lant finally couldn't bear it and drew a magic pattern casually. The magic beast that had been showing off for a few seconds suddenly had its four wings covered with frost and fell directly to the ground.
The big cat looked at Lant with vigilance. However, there was no need to hold Lant back at this moment. He could even waste a lot of fighting energy and magic power and reach the big cat's side in one sprint.
"Big cat, can you meow?" Before the leopard could react, Lant grabbed the back of its neck and drew the magic pattern of life on his hand, and the leopard's wounds began to heal slowly.
There were many monsters in the house, and Lant saw that the big cat's magic was all combined. The weak electric current of the thunder system gathered the lint and dust together, and more than a dozen weak water balls flowed along the big cat's hair, taking them away. Remove other stains, then gently blow warm air to dry the surface thoroughly.
Da Maozi felt the complete service of treatment, bathing and blow-drying. He looked at Lant with wide eyes, opened his mouth for a long time and said "Meow~"
"You are much smarter than our Demonic Tiger. She can speak human language and doesn't speak cat language." Lant rubbed his hands and took out the processed Warcraft steak from the ring. "Only the cooked ones. If you want to eat it raw, you have to eat the bird."
The big cat showed no interest in the dying mandarin duck. He concentrated on eating Lant's steak. He was still rubbing his body against Lant's legs. His long tail gently brushed Lant's chin, making him angry. The big cat was even more satisfied.
"Are you pregnant?" Lant touched the big cat's belly and had an estimate, "But I can't help you take her back. Liehuo won't allow you to sit on her, but I will come over at the end of the month. Let's We can only meet again by chance."
Rant touched the big leopard-print cat in front of him and said with regret, "It's 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 Lant's calf, thus getting more cooked meat.
