my age of magic

Chapter 77

The livestock market in Yemen Town is in a large courtyard in the north of the town. We walked north along the stone wall for a long time. We smelled the smell of mutton and excrement from inside the wall. It was only after the huge stone gate that I saw rows of wooden fences built in the huge square. If Kurtz hadn’t told me in advance that this was the cattle market in Yemen Town, I would have thought I was in a zoo.

As soon as our group entered the gate, we saw several Thunder Rhinoceros tied to the wooden posts on both sides like hills. A tauren warrior more than three meters tall was sitting on the back of a Thunder Rhino, lazily. bask in the sun.These big thunder rhinos are eating the forage on the ground slowly. They look very docile. The wooden trough on the side is filled with clear water. I looked up at these huge guys and wondered how much it would cost to buy them. Next such a majestic Thunder Rhinoceros.

Walking inside, I actually saw dozens of giant wolves in the wooden fence. These giant wolves are gray, black, and gray and white. They are more than two meters long and look taller than ordinary bison. I I have seen wind wolves among junior monsters on Xinghu Grassland. The giant wolves in the fence are several times bigger than wind wolves, which is completely beyond my imagination. Steps, worried about offending them.How could a wooden fence as thick as a forearm be able to stop such a beast.

"These are wargs, very docile." Sister Guoguo saw my fear and said to me while holding my hand. "These are mounts domesticated by werewolves. Although they usually eat meat, they have a very docile personality. Although the explosive sprint speed is very good, their endurance is far inferior to that of ancient horses. There are many wolf cavalry equipped by the orcs. This kind of mount, the field combat ability of the wolf cavalry is very strong."

A werewolf was sitting on the recliner at the gate of the fence. He just looked up at Kurtz, nodded his head as a greeting, and didn’t even throw us a glance. I asked Kurtz strangely: “Why don’t you see him? To solicit business?"

"These wargs are specially supplied to the fortress in Yemen. These mounts are considered military supplies, and you can't even buy them!" Sister Guoguo continued to drag me into the market.

In the market, it seemed much more normal. There was actually an orc who was leading Gu Bolai's horse trying to pull my sleeve, and introduced to me how honest and obedient his horse was. It ran as if it was sitting on a chair. stable.Most of the mounts sold in the market are argali mounts. I asked Kurz strangely, "You orcs usually like to ride goats? Isn't it better to ride horses?"

Kurz said a little unnaturally: "In fact, the warriors of our werewolf tribe hope that they can buy a wolf. These goats, only dwarves would like to ride them. They are short, and it doesn't take much effort to climb on the back of the goat. The reason why there are so many argali mounts in the market may be that they were seized from the gray dwarf bandits, so they were thrown into the market for sale!"

I pointed to a saber-toothed tiger-like beast in an iron cage not far away and asked Kurtz: "What is that?"

"Nightsaber, this thing is not a species on our Pai Plateau, it should have come from the Evernight Forest!" Kurz said with some uncertainty: "This big guy is more suitable for the jungle, the gravel on the wasteland Does a lot of damage to its meaty claws, they're only shipped here for some orc warchiefs who have a special love of collecting mounts. No one would want to ride this guy in the wasteland hunting."

We walked through a row of wooden fence passages, covering our mouths and noses, and still couldn't avoid smelling those fishy smells.But this livestock market, which is much larger than a football field, is a bit too big for us outsiders.The few of us bumped around like headless chickens, not knowing where we were going.

"Jia, look over there, it's actually a dragon!" Qige said to me excitedly pulling my clothes from behind me.

For the word "dragon", I always thought it was a very large and flying super creature, but when I collected my mood and turned my head to look in the direction of Qige's white and tender onion-like fingers, I found that the word "dragon" in Qige's mouth The Sea Dragon turned out to be a strange looking dinosaur. It had a pair of powerful long legs, a leather saddle was tied to its broad back, and its huge head protruded forward. It looked very ferocious. There is also a pair of wings with meat membranes, which are very short. I guess it is impossible to fly.I asked Kurtz next to me: "This thing is called a dragon?"

Kurz nodded and said, "It likes to eat eggs and fresh meat. It is difficult to raise, and the food is too expensive!"

"Run fast?" I asked again.

"Well, it's very large. And it can climb over not too steep mountain ridges, and even dare to jump off high cliffs. Although its fleshy wings cannot fly, the fleshy wings of adult dragons can glide for a short time. Such a three-year-old mount dragon, if you are willing to hire me, and I will bargain for you, you will definitely be able to buy it back for less than ten gold!" At this time, a young werewolf stood beside us and said to the fruit Sister Guo said that he felt that Sister Guoguo was more like a leader to our group.

Kurz stood up at this time, frowned and said coldly: "We are just planning to buy a young Yagui beast, there is no money to fish for, you go find someone else!"

Later, according to Kuz, the young werewolf was a person who specialized in bargaining for buyers in the market. They would also lead foreign merchants to find goods that are usually not seen in the market, but don’t expect to be able to buy them in their hands. Cheap goods, they are counting on the price difference to make money.An adult Yagui beast is about two gold, and if it is a young Yagui beast, it will be cheaper, maybe because seeing another young orc in the team, I probably think that Kurtz is his colleague, the young orc Looks a little disappointed.

Kurz told him that we wanted to buy an Yagui beast, and the young werewolf obviously lost interest, but he pointed to the fence not far to the right and said politely, "All the Yagui beasts gather over there!"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing that we couldn't get any good from us, he slipped into the fence and disappeared.

Finally, we followed the path pointed by the young orc and found a place where Yagui beasts were sold. Looking at the neatly arranged giant long-haired bison, I asked Kurz very speechlessly: "You mean we want to buy them?" Such a big guy?"

Yagui Beast is more like a large long-haired bison, but it is bigger, with a body length of six or seven meters, but a height of less than two meters. less than its hooves.There are a pair of curved horns on a big head, and eyes much bigger than my fist are watching us docilely, and the mouth is still eating the dry alfalfa scattered on the ground.I thought it was a very big bison!But when I glanced at the back of Yagui Beast, I realized that I was wrong. There was a big broom-like tail behind Yagui Beast, which was flat and long and fluffy and dragged on the ground.

Yagui beast is the most common animal on the plateau. It is also very large in size, but compared to the giant thunder rhinoceros which is seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters long, it looks much smaller.If Thunder Rhino is compared to a large truck carrying containers, then Yagui Beast is a small van.And Yagui Beast is not like Thunder Rhinoceros, which can endure hunger for a whole month. Yagui Beast needs to eat grass and drink water every day.

The four of us rode on the back of this guy, and there was plenty of room, and there was plenty of luggage to strap to the tail.

In the end, Kurtz bought a strong Yagui beast with a complete leather saddle for three gold, and returned to the caravan camp contentedly.
