Advent of the Archmage Chapter 596: Strange orcs on the steppe
Golden Great Plain.
The sky is vast and the sky is vast, the wind is blowing low, but cattle and sheep are not seen.
? 22? This is a fertile savannah. Unfortunately, the number of orcs is too small, and the steppes are too large. Most orcs do not know how to develop and use this treasure land, so the orcs are basically living hard.
Linke is here to find the Orc King negotiating alliance. Although the two sides have friendship in the past, as leaders, friendship can only be used to narrate the old. Big things like the two-ethnic alliance do not talk about friendship. interest.
In order for the two sides to successfully alliance, Link naturally needs to know clearly the fundamental interests of the other side, so when he arrived in the Golden Great Plain, he did not go straight to the current orc king Tinglong Hongdu, but disguised himself. For ordinary businessmen, walk through various orc towns and observe their living conditions.
The more you know about the orcs at this time, the more chips you will use to negotiate later.
After being alone for a day like this, a human caravan that Link met on the road, everyone was human, Link was like a single character, and with a few words of good words, he was mixed with the caravan.
Along the way, Lin Ke watched as he walked, and by the way, he chatted with these merchants who traveled north and south, but also increased many insights into the lower and middle world residents of Ferroman.
On this day, seeing that it was getting late, and a stream just appeared in front of the caravan, the caravan leader greeted everyone to go to the stream to camp and rest.
There are more than 300 people in this caravan, and there are more than a dozen small and large teams, the largest of which is a red clay firm, which specializes in selling various spices to orcs, garlic, dragon grass, and meat herbs. Wait, there are more than twenty carriages.
It has half of the team, the others are small caravans, there are five or six people, a team of a dozen people, a team of a dozen people, and many like Link. Lonely traveling businessman.
Crowds are gathered together, with many people and strength, and safety, so although the small caravans basically do not hire mercenaries, the Red Earth Commercial Bank does not refuse to walk with everyone.
The grass on the grasslands can generally grow to the height of an adult's chest, and the vegetation near the river can exceed the average person's head. If there is no fixed commercial road, this place will not be accessible.
The team walked along the commercial road to the side of the stream. The merchants stopped the carriage. Some people took the saddle off the horse and took the horse to the river to drink water and feed the grass. Some people started to light the campfire to prepare dinner and red clay. The mercenaries hired by the business were on guard, and the entire business team became very busy.
Linke also found a place to sit down. He was inconvenient to expose his space equipment, so he carried a parcel on his back. At this moment, he unpacked it, took out a dry scone, and silently held it. In my heart, I plan to travel later.
This is also the edge of the Golden Great Plain. It is more than a thousand kilometers away from the orc king Tinglong Hongdu. At the speed of this caravan, it is estimated that it will take more than a month to reach the site. Passed about a dozen orc towns.
A month is a long time, but to really understand the orc tribe, it is necessary to think of an alliance condition that the orc king cannot refuse. This time must be spent.
Moreover, Link ’s time is not completely spent on it. For example, while he is eating scones, clear light and light flash continuously in the horizon. This is the magic book he carried, and he directly transferred The content is all displayed by the game system.
In this way, in the eyes of others, he is in a daze, but in fact, most of his time is actually studying magic, and only a small part of the time is to observe the social situation of orcs.
I was so enchanted that suddenly I heard footsteps in my ears. Someone came over. The footsteps were light. She was a young girl, and Link thought out her name: Sally.
As soon as the thought flashed, a clear voice rang in my ear: "Brother Link, thirst, come and drink saliva."
Linck did not conceal his name. In fact, since he became Lord Field, few people have called his name. People in the Norton Kingdom call his master. People in the territory call his lord. Others call him He was Lord Field, or Lord Molene. Those who really called his name were basically close people.
In addition, the name Link is also very common in Ferroman. Many people shouted that he naturally did not need to cover it.
After hearing the shout, he turned his eyes and looked over, and saw a 17-year-old girl walking towards him with a bowl of hot water. The water was a little hot, it was just the boiling water, so she walked Be very careful.
This girl is the daughter of a leader of a small caravan. She has a normal appearance and freckles on her cheeks. She has a darker complexion because she travels all year round, but because of this, she looks energetic. The cheeks were red, the eyes were very bright, the body was strong, and the personality was bright. He was wearing a simple and clean leather armor, and seemed to have endless energy all day, jumping around in the caravan.
Wherever she goes, there will be laughter and laughter.
Lin Ke got up and took the water bowl in the girl's hand, smiled and said, "Thank you."
Sally's eyes seemed brighter, and she smiled like a meniscus, and she sat down beside Link: "Brother Link, you're always dazed alone, do you have a mind?"
Linke was about to answer. Suddenly I felt that I had a very unfriendly look on myself and turned to look at it, but it was Sally's father. It was a small and famous magic material purchaser called Orang. He doesn't seem to like his daughter and Link getting too close, but his father's binding power on his daughter is obviously very limited.
Lin Ke squatted a bowl of water and gestured to Ao Lang to show his gratitude, and then smiled and said to the girl around him, "Sally, your father should have told you that a solo travel merchant with a sword like me is a Dangerous person, don't stay too close to me? "
Linke carries the song of the moon. Of course, this sword has never been sheathed. From the appearance, this is an ordinary steel sword.
Sally didn't take it seriously: "Hey ~ he said that, but he's an old stubborn, I don't care. Brother Brother, you dare to walk alone on the plain with a sword, the sword skill must be very good Huh? "
"Yes, I can," Link laughed.
"Can you teach me?" Sally finally showed her purpose, she wanted to learn martial arts.
Linke laughed. The girl thought carefully. He saw it the first time she met. She saw the eyes of every warrior with a sword, and her eyes often fell on the mercenaries hired by the Red Clay Chamber. Up, but those mercenaries have killed people and have strong blood, she is like a timid deer, dare to peek, but dare not approach, now seeing Link, seeing him is completely harmless It looked like she had his idea.
"I'm fine, of course, but your father may disagree. You need to get his consent first."
Just a few swordsmanship, Sally has been sending him clean water every day these days, and it's hard work. After that, he drank the warm water in the dry bowl and passed it to Sally with a smile: "Go ask your father. Remember, it's useless for you to talk, it must be told by your father in person."
Sally was dumbfounded: "Ah? It's too difficult, my father will definitely not agree, can I change it?"
Linke raised a finger and shook it, "No, it's not negotiable. Compared with practicing swordsmanship, this is only a small difficulty."
"Okay, I think of a way." Sally went away excitedly and sadly again.
Linke was no longer entangled, so he continued to read the magic book. It was just a few minutes before the area in front of the stream suddenly heard a loud scream.
Following it, Link saw a mercenary running back frantically from the creek. His face was covered with blood, and an eyeball fell out of his eye socket, just hanging on his face. He ran screaming and holding his face screaming. After running for more than ten steps, he slumped on his feet and fell to the ground. Xu Shi was relieved in his heart. Many, lying on the ground, grunted and panted.
His mercenary companions have gone up to check the situation, and several mercenaries ran towards the creek with swords. After a while, there was a cry of fighting from the creek.
Just as the mercenaries waited anxiously, the mercenaries returned. They had many scars on their body. The mercenary leader who walked in the front was Link. He remembered that his name was Miro, a 4th-level summit. The warrior is a very good folk warrior.
At this moment, he had a weird black head in his hands.
Linke took a closer look and saw that this head looks roughly like a human ... No, it should look like an orc. Strangely, the skin on this head is dark green with blood dripping from it It is also dark green. After dropping on the ground, the weeds on the ground seem to have not changed, but Link can feel that the vitality of this weed is slowly disappearing.
This blood is toxic and an unobtrusive chronic toxin. It also faintly gives out an indescribable breath.
Linke feels a little familiar with this breath, a bit like ... a natural toxin, but he feels it carefully, but it is specious. In short, he has never seen such a power.
Linke also noticed that the orc has pure black eyes and no white eyes. There are many scars of gray color on the east and west of his facial skin, which look like burned scars.
"Is there an orc like this?" Link was a little strange, even in previous games, he hadn't seen this weird thing.
Suddenly news came from the horizon.
Trigger Quest: Strange Orcs
Mission: A strange orc appears in the Golden Great Plains, which seems to be offensive. Find out why these orcs appeared.
Quest reward: 50 free points.
The rewards are a little small, but chat is better than nothing, and Link chooses to accept it.
While everyone in the caravan was watching this weird orc's head, he walked quietly towards the stream by himself, and he had to observe the orc carefully. (To be continued.)
