Chapter 534 [Affection and Transactions]
Chapter 534 [Emotion and Transaction]
"cheers!!"
Dixon's face was filled with a passionate smile, but his eyes were already drunk. He shakingly raised a cup in his hand. Regardless of whom, he touched the glass with force and swallowed the blazing wine, allowing the burning line to brush directly from his throat to his stomach.
After Dickson finished drinking, he fell head-on to the ground and was unconscious.
A werewolf covered in black hair next to him stretched out one hand to lift the young magician up and stuffed it into a tent behind him. After a while, a snoring sound came from inside.
"Your companion has a really bad alcohol tolerance."
Lei raised a copper cup, which just covered its face, revealing only a pair of green eyes, and looked at Captain Hook who was sitting beside him: "No, to be precise, you humans have very poor alcohol tolerance."
Hook calmly, drank a bowl of wine and said lightly: "Whether good or poor alcohol content cannot mean anything."
"But you have occupied the best land in the world." Lei's tone seemed a little complicated.
Instead of answering the topic, Hook picked up the wine bag and poured himself another glass.
"The wine you brewed is very good." Lei seemed to smile: "For such wine, please bring more next time."
Hook raised his eyelids and glanced at Lei. Looking at the werewolf's green eyes, Captain Hook had a slight fear in his heart, suppressing the distractions in his heart, and slowly said: "In this world, there is no free lunch - even if it is free for the time being, it cannot be free forever."
"oh?"
Lei heard this and put down the copper cup in his hand. It looked at Hook meaningfully: "So, what price do I have to pay for this 'lunch'? Didn't you say that these are the affection that your master showed to me?"
"Love will not be overdrawn forever." Hook shook his head: "And this kind of thing is mutual. How much love there is between the two parties depends on the efforts of both parties. If only one party always gives, then the love will be used up very openly - no matter how much love is, it will not be enough."
Lei didn't say anything, just looked at Hook quietly.
Hook took a deep breath: "This time you have gotten a lot. The army of this tribe was defeated by us, and their tribes have been wiped out by you... You have got what you need most at the moment: land, population, tribe! And the food we bring is enough for you and your tribe to spend this winter."
"But what after winter?" Lei asked, "The wine and food you brought are only enough for the expenses of this winter. What after winter? It seems that I have gotten a lot, but I have also increased a lot of burden. I want to support these tribes, and I need more food... Originally, my command was full of soldiers, and we could plunder and fight to support war, but now I have a tribe. There are so many women and children, and so many mouths that I have to eat."
Hook smiled: "You can't expect our master to help you solve all your problems."
Lei snorted heavily: "It is thought that orcs are idiots. I know very well what Darlingchen intended! He just wanted to buy me and make me a knife in his hand! Let me and my warrior become his mercenaries! You don't send too much food every time, and then rely on this food to drive us to fight for him..."
"But these battles are good for you." Hook smiled: "For example, this time, your gains will be great! Our master has calculated that without our help, relying on your own strength, you want to get such a tribe, land, and population... you will need at least two years."
Lei remained silent.
After a moment, it stared at Hook: "The weapons sent this time are good, better than those used by our orcs. I need more weapons and equipment, and next time, I will send you another hundred knives! You Roland's craftsmen are excellent, the best..."
"There are knives, but the craftsman does not." Hook shook his head.
Looking at the anger in Lei's eyes, Hook said slowly: "No Roland craftsman is willing to take the risk of coming to you to serve you. This is too dangerous. We will not tie our compatriots over and stuff them to you like slaves."
"..." Lei was pondering.
After a while, a trace of utterness appeared in the werewolf prince's eyes:
"Two hundred knives! One hundred sets of leather armor!" Lei said slowly: "There are enough three thousand orcs to eat for three months! We promise these, when spring comes, we will fight for Darling Chen again."
Before Hook could speak, Lei sneered: "Don't think I don't know your situation! Why did Gomi's tribe send troops to attack the Northwest Fortress? I've heard of this news for a long time, I think... the king of the orc must have heard of it too! So, in the beginning of spring, the orc will definitely launch another war to go south! You need me now! As long as I start a civil war in the orc king, the old man Tonghu's eyes will turn to me, and your pressure will be greatly reduced at that time."
"But, isn't it your lifelong pursuit to revive the wolf clan and regain the throne? We just need it." Hook thought for a while: "A hundred best Roland's army standard sabers, fifty sets of high-quality cowhide armor, and food, I can make the decision to promise you that three thousand orcs have three months of food! Well, I can add twenty barrels of butter personally! That's a top-notch good thing, a little gift for me."
Lei drank another glass of wine.
When he put down his glass again, Lei exhaled: "Don't come next time, just let that young magician come...I, I don't like you! I will meet again next time, I don't guarantee that I will be unable to help but kill you!"
"Oh?" Hook smiled.
"In your human words, you are a hero, a hero. The more heroes there are, the more dangerous the orcs are!"
"There are many heroes in humanity, I am just a trivial one. Killing me will not change the racial gap between our two sides." Hook shook his head: "Besides, you don't have to like me. I was not a likable person at all. You just need me. Not to be precise, you need us and my master."
Lei pulled out his sword and inserted it on the table: "This is a deal! Go back and tell Darlingchen that our favors have been used up!"
It looked at the copper wine glass in its hand: "Don't bring these flashy things next time! A wine glass is made of copper... Do you know how many iron tools we lack here? I would rather use it to exchange for a dagger!"
"You will get a good dagger, and it is also the best craftsman in our humanity, made by Master Kang, and I will send it next time."
Hook picked up his wine glass: "Damn!"
...
…………
At dawn, Hooker and Dickson said goodbye. Dickson was floating, and he got on the horse crookedly, and his body swayed in the wind.
They left the orc tribe and walked south.
Behind him, on the hillside, Lei sat on the back of his mount, the giant wolf, and watched the departure of the two humans with a cold look. His eyes were as sharp as a knife!
"If you get drunk next time, I swear, I will strip a female orc and throw it into your tent!" Hook looked at Dickson and whispered viciously.
"Then please be sure to see clearly and find a fox girl with less hair." Dixon curled his lips: "Don't you know? In the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, a few fox female slaves who raise eyebrows are the most popular ones."
"Shameless!" Hook spitted.
"Don't you think the teacher seems to value this werewolf named Lei too much?" Dixon couldn't help but look back and saw the wolf cavalry on the hillside.
"This guy has more than 300 warriors in his hands, all of whom are the most elite wolf cavalry." Hook shook his head: "In terms of combat power, if the three hundred elite wolf cavalry fight on the ground, it is enough to resist five times their number of infantry - I'm talking about orcs! If it were humans, the proportion would have to be increased."
"That's not much," Dixon shook his head.
"But it is a royal family! It is the royal blood of the wolf clan. It has the name of orthodox - orthodox. This thing is not only useful in the human world. The wolf clan has been suppressed in the orc kingdom for a long time. The old thing that bronze tiger has been trying to kill this thunder in order to control the wolf clan. As long as it is alive and continues to fight against the bronze tiger, it will be beneficial to us. And its strength will continue to grow. You see, when the spring begins, its population will continue to increase!
Haven't you noticed? In the past two days, its soldiers have been preparing for war! I heard that they aimed at a nearby small tribe and planned to sneak attack the small tribe while the road was blocked during the heavy snow. If they succeed, the population of this thunder would increase by about 2,000. In the beginning of spring, perhaps it had grown into a large tribe that could bring in two thousand warriors. Think about it, more than 300 wolf cavalry, plus more than 1,000 strong orc warriors... If it faces the bronze tiger, our pressure will be much less."
...
Chen Daolin walked out of the brick kiln, holding two stones he picked up.
These two stones are only the size of an egg, and look shiny and translucent.
These are all picked up from a brick kiln and are similar to some kind of crystal after being burned by fire.
Chen Daolin had a faint look of joy on his face and looked at the gathering place not far away.
Well, that's a reward.
Maybe… I can try burning glass here? Anyway, there is so much sand in this place.
Manpower and craftsmen... can let those chambers of commerce come in and cooperate, and they can be responsible for recruiting people. Well... technical problems are easy to solve, and there are a lot of technical reserves brought from the real world in their storage rings.
Chen Daolin retracted his hand into his sleeve and was continuing to walk back.
Suddenly, a warning sign came to my heart! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
