my age of magic

Chapter 406 202. Followers
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the faces of each of us, and a cool drizzle wiped the blue sky clean. At this moment, the few clouds left in the sky were covered with brilliant rays of light, as if the white strands of silk The tape is stained with gold rim.A few white birds are flying across the sky, and only in such a cool evening can they dare to fly freely. On the hills on the outskirts of the city in the distance, the stretches of golden apple groves will completely cover the whole area. The mountains and fields are rendered in a touch of dark green, and it is impossible to see the edge at a glance. The sea of ​​trees is the real heritage of El City.

The outline of the entire city of El is faintly outlined in the twilight not far away. The central mountain in the center of the city has been lit up with lights, and the aura of the magic academy and the city hall endows the mountain with power. This is a city that is thriving and exuding vitality. After the relationship between the Green Empire and the Orc Tribe has been warming up in the past two years, a large number of trade exchanges between Gludin and Sluit City, The rise of this commercial route will affect the economy of the entire north. El City happens to be located in a hub of this commercial route. The huge business opportunities have already made El City feel a little heat.

Many citizens have already felt a lot of benefits. The caravans passing here usually leave behind various commodities brought back from the orc tribes, including the magic antelope vellum rich in the orc tribes and large quantities of low-level magic herbs. Statistics show that the proportion of these goods is decreasing year by year. Among the goods brought back from the orc tribes, there are more and more goods worthy of trade by human merchants, including leather, herbs, food, ores, and various exquisite gems. Now, the orcs have begun to process these materials into commodities with the characteristic style of tribal orcs, and these commodities are rapidly eroding the market of the Grimm Empire.

Nowadays, the delicious canned lunch meat has almost become a household name. We all know that those exquisite tin cans contain genuine wild beef with unique flavor. It not only appears on the table of every family, but also becomes a must-have item for camping in the wild. .As everyone knows, on the entire Pai Plateau, there are many bison herds consisting of hundreds of thousands of one-horned bison. If these one-horned bison are not killed in large numbers, the vegetation on the Pai Plateau will inevitably be destroyed by these highly adaptable animals. The livestock were completely destroyed, a large number of cheap cans were transported from the plateau, and they were exchanged for bags of silver coins.
If Bobby hadn't been led into the big food store on the edge of the slave market today and tasted this long-lost taste, maybe I would have forgotten those vermicelli. The higher-ups divided it up, because I have never seen anyone selling vermicelli from the orc tribe in the market. I thought it was because these vermicelli were not well promoted and were not liked by the people of the Grimm Empire. I didn’t expect it to be the opposite. , it is said that it is the most unique food in the orc tribe and has become the guest of honor at the banquet held by the nobles. It seems that the 'limited production' vermicelli can only be quietly circulated in a limited circle of nobles. It turns out that this thing is taking a high-end route.

This reminds me of Kurz's territory, where sweet potatoes seem to be growing in the swamp. I'm afraid this guy will be soft because of these vermicelli!

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that those corpse kerosene are also taking the high-end route. I have never seen them in various grocery stores. According to my original idea, I made a piece of 'briquette', and now it has gradually entered thousands of households in the Green Empire.

My thoughts were interrupted by a huge roar, and I slowly woke up from my contemplation. The bright signal lights were already on on the airport tower [-] meters above my head, and the surroundings became more and more chaotic with the noisy sound , Every other day, this kind of lively scene will appear on the airport tower. The whole tower is covered with hard workers preparing to load and unload goods. Just waiting for the moment when the airship stops, there will be an endless stream of people carrying the airship. The goods are quickly replenished for the airship under orderly command.

On the largest airport tower in the south of El City, a huge airship sailing from Ziqing Mountain City to Sloit City is slowly docking. The airship is like a huge wooden spaceship floating in the sky. There are ten-wing propeller blades on both sides. These huge propellers driven by the magic pattern circle rotate rapidly, suspending this [-]-meter-long airship in the sky. There is a bright searchlight installed on the front of the airship. In the twilight, the headlight kept shaking from side to side.

The long whistle sounded again from the airport tower, which was a signal to urge travelers to prepare to board the ship. The elf girl's long white hair was scattered by the summer evening wind, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to The strands of hair blowing on my face are gathered behind the long pointed ears, and the pair of immature long ears, which are as white as jade and crystal clear, are revealed. Matching the thin cheeks of the elf girl, it looks like an exquisite work of art Taste.

An extremely simple sleeveless leather jacket and tight leather pants are worn on the body of the elf girl, and she can wear the taste of exquisite fashion. She narrowed her big eyes slightly, ignoring the lengthy siren sound, but staring at it. Looking at me, there was an inexplicable taste in his eyes.

"You really want to let me go?" The elf girl blinked her eyes, her lips parted slightly, her two white teeth were like two crystal clear pearls.

She never thought that I would easily let her go who is worth fifty magic crystals. Now I have torn up the soul contract that belongs to her and discarded it at my feet.

I smiled and teased her: "Why not? Do I still have to worry about how I can take good care of you in the days to come?"

The elf girl tilted her head and looked at me carefully, as if at this moment, she wanted to engrave my appearance deeply in her mind.

"Do you want to bring some more travel expenses? Are you sure you can find your relatives in the Green Empire?" I decided to send the Buddha to the west. Since I have decided to release her back to her world, it is better to do the good thing to the end, so I asked her.

She shook her head lightly, pursed her lips with the pride unique to elves, and answered very simply: "No!"

Then her eyes turned to the soul scroll discarded on the grass beside her. The magic circle on it had completely failed. She took a deep look at me and said to me, "I hope we can meet again in the future!"

I hesitated for a moment, smiled and said to her, "Okay!"

The elf girl slowly merged into the crowd at the airport tower, and walked slowly towards the airship without even looking back.

I didn't ask where she was going, I didn't even ask her name, I didn't want to know anything about her origin, since I had decided to release her to freedom, I simply did it a little more chicly.But having said that, Fifty Magic Crystals is really distressing. I don't know what Bobby will think after knowing my decision.I can't control that much anymore, since I decided to be willful once, then I have to bear the consequences in the future.

...beautiful dividing line...

It was already very late, I believe that Fanny must be a little anxious at home at this time, I quickly sorted out my mood and prepared to go home.

The orc female warrior and the half-orc little girl were left by me in the dilapidated bonfire camp.For a while, I couldn't think of how to arrange these orcs, especially since they had a letter written by the wise man of Meyana. I had a relationship with that famous wise man in the wilderness. Leaving such an unbelievable letter, I can't figure out how that wise man knew that I would live in seclusion in El City five years ago.

'Divination' is a very mysterious spell. There are not many shamans in the orc tribe who can foresee the future. I have a ridiculous feeling that I was wiped out five years ago.

But facing these orcs who are too poor to even wear pants, at least I should do something for them now!The help I can provide is not much, at best it can only be a full meal and a piece of clothing that can cover the body to keep out the cold.So, I once again took out all the yellow and orange gold coins and silver coins left in the purse, and handed them to the old orcs to let them buy some of the cheapest rye flour, maybe it’s okay Buy some cheap bison hides brought back from the highlands. These leathers are not good for soft armor, but they are not a problem at all for making hard leather armor or hard cowhide marching tents.

Most of the orcs have a simple mind. Generally speaking, as long as it is something they believe, nine cows may not be able to pull it back, just like they stubbornly regard me as the messenger of the beast god now. The person who came here suddenly became my follower.

Orcs are born leather makers, just like dwarves are born blacksmiths. After the orcs were born, they lived a semi-nomadic life in the wasteland. They have to deal with leather almost all their lives, so they are all Leatherworker, that's not too much.When I saw that they didn't have half a piece of leather in their camp, I knew how poor they were. They needed not only some covering clothes, but also some tents suitable for camping in the wild.

Sitting on a straw mat, I said to the shaman with a limped leg, "I'm a very mean person!"

He looked at me with a smile, as if as long as I could take them in, even if I sold them as slaves, they would never complain.

"Maybe you will lose your freedom in the days to come!" I said to the old orc again.

He still smiled without saying a word, and there was a blind worship light in his cloudy eyes.

"You have to work for me like slaves. Don't try to be lazy. Lazy people will be whipped. I have to make strict rules. Anyone who breaks the rules will be punished..." No matter what I say What, the old orc and the orc female warrior were listening carefully.

Until I finally spoke dryly, I asked the two of them helplessly: "Are you sure you want to become my follower?"

They nodded without hesitation...
