But when he looked at the current situation and thought about it, he didn't feel that he could break the situation with his current abilities and capital.
The people around him are more powerful than himself, and he can probably guess why.
Compared with him, an ape-man who evolved from a monkey, these humans in Azeroth are real Titan creations, beings that have degenerated from steel machines.
Moreover, the original duty of these steel machines is to fight, and it is impossible for guys who specialize in fighting with various ancient gods not to have strong martial ethics.
The only thing he can praise in front of people in this world is his familiarity with the plot, plus some knowledge from his past life.
But people won’t talk to you about this.
People only talk about violence.
So the fact is, he has no choice.
"Our business is very simple. We buy low and sell high. Some people give us things they don't need, and we renovate them and sell them again. This is our business."
When Talos spoke, his face showed an indescribable look of pride and a trace of reluctance.
"So we must have connections and brains. People who are rich and powerful but have empty heads cannot do this kind of business."
He took Li Ke and walked out of the town through a remote road that Li Ke had never seen before.
Li Ke always thought that this was a closed hill, but when the other party led him there, Li Ke realized that there was a small road in the hill.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only follow them silently.
Not long after walking, the sky darkened. The group of people lit torches silently, and then Li Ke saw something moving in the grass.
"Damn it, wolf cub..."
Talos cursed in a low voice, and then two apprentices walked out from behind him, carrying two hammers and rushed towards the grass. Soon, whimpering came from the grass, and then an aging
The lone wolf was dragged out of the grass by them.
When the wolf, which was the size of a motorcycle, was dragged out by its legs, its body was still twitching, but Li Ke knew it was dead.
So far, he has never seen a creature that could survive after half of its head was smashed.
Looking at the other party's cloudy and desperate eyes, Li Ke knew that he had no ability to pity the other party. Although the other party was about to die, he still struggled.
As for myself, I may not even have the strength to struggle.
Seeing those people peeling off the skin skillfully, Li Ke felt that he and the wolf were actually the same, they were both meat on someone else's chopping board.
"Okay, it's just a damn lone wolf, let's go."
Seeing that he was lost in thought, Talos put his arm around his shoulders again and led him forward.
Then there were not many accidents this time. After walking for about an hour, they saw a group of people. There were about twenty or thirty people. They all covered their armor with linen, and most of them didn't want to raise their heads.
He just looked at them sideways and didn't light up the torch.
Although there was no flag, Li Ke could tell the identities of these people from the style of their armors.
A knight sent by Lordaeron.
Unlike the local nobles, most of these knights born in Lordaeron are war-torn veterans. Their armors have a large number of patterns, which represent deadly battles one after another.
But what made Li Ke recognize them was their height.
Warriors from Lordaeron are generally taller and stronger than warriors from other places, some can even reach around two meters three, and their bodies are tall and strong to match their height.
This allows them to wear shoulder armor that is nearly two centimeters thick, and full-coverage armor that is almost the same thickness for combat.
Not to mention fifty against the current Li Ke, but one hundred would be more than enough.
Li Ke felt that the apprentices around him were already tall and strong enough, but compared with the people in front of him, they were obviously much worse.
Only Talos can compare with the other party.
As for Li Ke?
It can only be said that this is not a barrier that can be broken through through exercise, but a gap called race.
"You are too slow."
When they met Talos, this was the first thing he said. Obviously, after taking Li Ke with them, Talos and the others were indeed moving slower.
"I can't help it. I have to bring this person here today, so I'm a little slow."
When Talos was speaking, he pushed Li Ke, causing Li Ke to stumble, causing Li Ke to involuntarily come to the knight who was speaking.
In his haste, Li Ke failed to adjust his position, so under the illumination of the moonlight and torches, he could clearly see the knight's face.
A muscular middle-aged man with a big beard.
Li Ke had met him before. He was a member of the Lordan Road Knights and a logistics officer who was responsible for logistics. He had come to the blacksmith shop and dealt with Talos several times, so Li Ke recognized him.
Seeing Li Ke, the man frowned and casually swept Li Ke aside.
Li Ke could tell that he was very dissatisfied with his face being seen so clearly by Li Ke.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's inspect the goods."
He pointed impatiently at the carload of things behind him. Talos whistled, then pulled Li Ke and walked over.
He didn't even lift an oilcloth, but Li Ke's heartbeat skipped a beat, because all of these cars were brand new and still had shiny armor and sword blades.
These armors are all high-quality products - compared with the high-quality products in this town, they are high-end materials from the Knights of Lordaeron. If an ordinary noble family wants to buy a set of such armor, they will basically have to peel off a layer of skin.
If the little nobles don't join the army, they won't even think about it.
As for civilians?
Civilians should not think too much. This kind of full-coverage armor is a prohibited item for civilians. They have no official title or title, and it is illegal to possess it.
Because this thing is not as inconvenient as ordinary plate armor. When wearing this kind of armor, you can even perform backflips without restriction!
The business of beheading!
This was the first thing Li Ke thought of, but Talos, who was holding him tightly, had no intention of letting him go. Instead, he used the convenience of holding Li Ke to hold Li Ke's left chest with a dagger.
"Look at the condition of these things."
Li Ke had no choice but to start checking these armors.
Don't worry about the weapons, someone has already checked them.
But after Li Ke looked at the armor, his heart grew colder and colder as he looked at it.
The armor is in good condition. Although each one has some signs of the buckle being cut off, it does not actually affect its use. Even if you don't find a specialized blacksmith, as long as you find a skilled blacksmith, it can be repaired.
The most ridiculous part is the armor at the back. It doesn't even bother to cut off the buckles and the like, but just makes a few scratches and it's done.
Talos obviously saw this, he sneered and let go of Li Ke.
The last few cars are no longer armors and the like, but some gems and exquisite objects. Li Keka can’t quite understand the shapes and meanings of these things, but he can roughly guess that these should be carried out.
What ritual utensils.
Because among these things, there are one or two crystal balls and books.
Talos had no interest in these things. He just flipped through them casually a few times, then patted Li Ke and pointed at the quartermaster.
"Keep watching."
What he said was completely nonsense, because Li Ke didn't understand the writing of this world at all. The reason why he said what he said here was entirely because the lord's mage cast a spell on him.
Talos and the quartermaster stood together and kept discussing something. Li Ke couldn't hear it because their conversation was very low.
But it was obvious that their discussion was not a happy one, because their voices soon became louder.
"What I want to say is, you've gone too far, idiot! The price of things is so high, who do you think we are working for? You don't have much experience at first glance, don't think this job is so simple!"
Talos stabbed the quartermaster's somewhat stained armor with his fingers, and Talos rudely sprayed his saliva at the bearded quartermaster.
The opponent held the hilt of the sword, and his face was still stained with fatigue and dust from the battle, so he was quite impatient when someone pointed at his chest and scolded him.
To be honest, Li Ke felt really frightened. He was really afraid that they would be silenced.
Because even if he doesn't understand the writing of this world, he still knows very well that under the current situation, according to the laws of Lordaeron, everyone present will be sentenced to death.
Usually they were hanged, and the lightest ones were exiled or guillotined.
So if we can't reach an agreement, we can only pray that the other party will care about the people behind Talos.
Otherwise, Li Ke cannot guarantee whether these people will...
"Quiet!"
Talos laughed exaggeratedly, and then continued to spray his saliva.
"I really hope you know what you are talking about. My husband, after you kill us, do you think you will be safe? Of course, you will not care about the threat of a mud-legged person like me, but you must
You can know that after you kill me here, you will definitely not get what you want."
While talking, Talos patted his money bag, making the money inside make a crisp sound.
The knight with a lot of weather on his face was twitched.
It's not easy to live in Lordaeron.
This is not a joke, it is a fact.
Whether it is daily life, maintaining the dignity of a noble, or maintaining and manufacturing equipment for yourself and your family, it is not a simple job.
So he needs this money very much, and many people need this money.
What is the reason why everyone fights bravely against the enemy? Isn’t it just for money and status?
There was really too little money to annihilate the cultists this time. The small cult only had a scale of more than a hundred people and had gathered a dozen bandits. As a result, His Majesty the King sent 300 knights and 600 bandits.
soldiers, ten mages from Dalaran, and even enough supplies.
To be honest, the loot is really not enough.
After all, these people sent by His Majesty the King are enough to attack the city. Moreover, the wizards have to take the bulk of the spoils. The most precious magic treasures and valuable books of the cultists have been looted by those wizards. Otherwise, the profit is barely enough.
.
Even Rivendell, who is not far away, will have a headache when facing their army, and will directly fall into passivity.
Therefore, everyone can only find other ways to get some income.
"Anyway, the last two cars were worthless. They were just some cultists' gadgets. I couldn't sell them, so they were given to me."
Talos smiled.
Those cultists' gadgets are all gold-plated, and if you scrape off the gold, it's worth a lot of money, not to mention those gems that mages don't like.
It's a lot of money once it's done.
As for the books, he just glanced at them casually, but they were just some erotic novels. Those high-ranking mages would not let them pick them up. Really valuable things have long been taken away.
The quartermaster was silent for a while. Talos wisely put a bag of money into his hand and whistled. His apprentices also took off the small bags one by one from their belts and threw them into the quartermaster's hand.
before.
"Can it be convenient?"
Looking at the unmoved quartermaster and soldiers, Talos was a little nervous. He didn't know if these bribes could convince the other party.
The quartermaster glanced at the money bag at his feet, and then at the one Talos gave him. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
"sure."
There are too many things in there.
Talos showed a smile, as did his men and the soldiers on the opposite side. For a moment, the whole place was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Talos put his fingers in his mouth, whistled loudly, and then came to the motorcade with a smile on his face, and came to Li Ke's side again.
The soldiers also left the convoy with a tacit understanding, allowing the blacksmith apprentices to take control of the cars.
After casually flipping through the erotic books he had just read, Talos had to admit that these books were quite attractive to him.
So he kept flipping through it, trying to find some interesting ones, and he would go home and read them tonight.
But while flipping through these books, Talos saw a yellow pamphlet without any text on it. It was quite disharmonious among these erotic books, and...
Let him be quite disappointed.
He sneered, a book with nothing in it was just right for a trash with nothing in it.
So he threw the yellow pamphlet into Li Ke's arms.
After all, we are working together, even if it is for the sake of rules, we must give this guy something.
"This thing is yours. After taking it with your share, you will be completely one of your own."
Li Ke quickly caught the pamphlet. Before he could read it, Talos held his body again and walked to the quartermaster.
The quartermaster was a little confused, because he had already heard the sound of horses carrying money coming. What did the guy named Talos in front of him want to do?
Do you feel that the bribe given to you is too much?
He looked at Talos doubtfully, and Talos smiled and took out a piece of parchment.
"Just in case, I wanted to have a contract, and it happened that my subordinate wanted to join the gang, so I asked him to sign it."
The quartermaster frowned. He didn't understand why he was doing this. This kind of thing still required a contract? Was he afraid that there would be no evidence of guilt when he was tried?
But he took the parchment for the sake of bribery, but as soon as he looked at it, the look in his eyes at Li Ke became weird.
This is a confession.
What he pleaded guilty to was that as a leader, he led the bandits to steal weapons and threatened the blacksmiths to sell the stolen goods.
