Chapter 233

[Chapter 233]

Colored flags, this is a symbol of the orc tribe, any orc tribe, no matter how big or small, will hang a colorful flag in their tribe.

To the orcs, the colored flags mean stability, good luck and good luck, because the colored flags are like a rainbow in the eyes of the orcs, and the rainbow only appears after the rain. For the orcs, the rain is very important. , when it rains, the river will become larger, and they will have more water available. When it rains, the grass on the pasture will grow more lush, so their monsters will grow fatter, and the monsters will grow well , they have more property, so all tribes of orcs will hang colorful flags.

On the grassland, as long as you see the colorful flags, you will know that you have arrived near the orc tribe. This is the common sense of all the people who come to the grassland. Zhao Hai already knows it from the miscellaneous notes he has read.

Zhao Hai let out a long sigh, and quickly turned to Laura and the others who were sitting in the trunk chatting, “I saw the bunting.”

Of course Laura understood what Zhao Hai meant, she immediately got out of the trunk and followed the Zhao Hai looked over, and sure enough, a colorful flag appeared in her sight.

Laura sighed and said, “I finally saw the orc tribe. It’s great. Tonight we may be able to drink milk wine and eat grilled lamb.”

Zhao Hai chuckled lightly. To be honest, it was endless. It seems that there is no human being on the prairie for a day, and suddenly seeing the colorful flag is really shocking, just like people living in the dark, suddenly seeing a ray of light generally.

After a while, Zhao Hai and the others saw a set of tents. These tents were very lively. On the top of one of the tents, there was a large flag with a cute little pig painted on it.

Zhao Hai blinked his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken. The picture on the flag was indeed a cute little pig. Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Laura in confusion and said, “Laura, what tribe is this?”

Laura also saw the little pig flag on the tent, and couldn’t help but smile and said, “Do you see the little pig on the flag? Isn’t that little pig’s stomach particularly big? Belly pig clan, this kind of pig clan is not tall, no more than two meters at most. It is considered small among orcs, but has a big belly. Their big belly is exposed all year round, but don’t underestimate their big belly. , their big belly is the toughest part of their body, this tribe is just a nation, their fighting power is not very strong, but they have a trick, this trick is to drink water, and then use their big belly, put the belly inside The water they sprayed out, forming water arrows that hurt people. The water they sprayed can usually spray 30 meters away, and its power is equivalent to the powerful arrows of the human race. It is with this special ability that they have not become slaves. Clan.”

Zhao Haidao was very curious, he really felt that the world was so big, there were all kinds of wonders, it was very interesting that there was such a race.

Zhao Hai turned to Laura and said, “What is the character of this kind of clan? They won’t suddenly become robbers, right?”

Laura shook her head and said with a smile, “No, they are very gentle, they belong to Xiang. A branch of the pig race, as long as they don’t bully them, they won’t grab things, they are also a very hospitable race, and they mainly make a living by herding argali.”

Zhao Hai knows that argali is a first-class magical beast , is the most popular type of magical beast in the orc grasslands. The skin can be used to make clothes, the wool can be used to make blankets, the meat can be eaten, and the horns can be made into weapons. It can be said that the life of the orcs is inseparable from the argali.

In the place where the human race lives, it is rare to see people raising argali, because the argali only adapts to the life here in the grasslands, and they will get sick when they get to the human race. Therefore, in the eyes of the orcs, the argali is the greatest beast god to them. gift.

Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That’s good. Let’s rest here today. If they need it, we can buy them the food. By the way, how do we trade with the orcs?”

Laura smiled and said: “This is not difficult, as long as we pull the food over, they will take the initiative to come to us to trade, but they usually exchange the magical beasts in their hands, and do not directly trade with gold and silver. Yes, only some big war clans will trade in gold and silver, so we also need to turn the magical beasts they traded to us into money.”

Zhao Haidao: “How much bamboo rice does that argali need to exchange?”

Laura smiled and said, “One thousand pounds.”

“One thousand pounds? Are you kidding me?” Zhao Hai said in surprise. It was the price that Laura said surprised him too much.

Zhao Hai was so surprised because of the size of the argali. An adult argali can grow to about 1.5 meters and weigh up to 400 kilograms. It is not a problem to carry an adult. It can produce 100 kilograms of wool. If an argali is transported back to the Principality of Versailles, even if it is not raised, it is just killed and bought. The price of an argali is at least fifteen gold coins. A thousand catties of bamboo rice, to be honest, it is not bad to be able to buy a gold coin. Fifteen times the profit, this seems to be too high, right?

Laura knew what Zhao Hai was surprised about, she smiled slightly: “This sounds like a high level, but it’s not as high as you think, you must know that transporting things to the orc grasslands is all smuggled, and smuggled In the process, it is necessary to manage the city defense army to get through all the joints, which is a lot of expenses, and it may be robbed when it reaches the grassland, so if it really counts, a thousand catties of bamboo rice will be transported to the orc grassland. The cost has already reached about three gold coins. When the argali is shipped back, the cost will increase again and again. When it comes to the mainland, the cost of an argali is seven to eight gold coins. Not including being robbed, you must know that people who come to do business in the Orc Prairie, except for those who cooperate with the war clan, are almost always robbed. If it is counted every ten times, ordinary businessmen will be three or four times out of ten. May be robbed. Grab, in this way, they can earn four to five gold coins at most for the last argali, which is already very good.”

Zhao Hai nodded, he can understand this, the cost is high, This price will naturally go up. If the cost is too low, no one will come to do this business. In the end, it is not the human race that suffers the most, but the orcs, and the orcs will make mistakes.

Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Laura and said, “Then what price do you think we should trade with them?”

Laura smiled and said, “Two thousand catties of an argali.”

Zhao Hai nodded, he could There is no such high cost as those merchants. Bamboo rice is produced in space, and he can also receive argali in the space and put it in the warehouse. There is no need for any management, and there is almost no additional cost. Two thousand catties of argali , it was almost the money he earned, and a 2,000-pound argali would not have much impact on the grain price on the entire orc grassland, and the price was still very reasonable.

Nier and Meg stood behind them and listened to these words quietly. Meg didn’t feel anything. For her, she only needed to take good care of Zhao Hai. These business matters have always been It was solved by Zhao Hai and the others, so she didn’t have any jealousy.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, she and Laura are rivals in love, but in Meg’s eyes, this is not the case at all. She doesn’t want to argue with Laura, just hope that she can always be by Zhao Hai’s side and be satisfied. Laura is indeed very talented and strong in business, which she can’t match.

Meg had already reserved a place for herself, so she wouldn’t be jealous of Laura. On the contrary, the more capable Laura was, the happier she was, because the more capable Laura was, the better the Buda family would be. Getting stronger and stronger, that’s what Meg wanted to see.

While walking and chatting, after a while they were about to reach the tent, and the people in the tent also found them, and immediately more than 20 figures rushed towards them, followed by some dogs beside these people.

Only when those people came closer did Zhao Hai realize that Ben’s more than 20 people were all cavalry, but what made Zhao Hai want to laugh was that their mounts were actually pigs.

Yes, it was a pig, a pig with a body of nearly two meters and a weight of over a thousand catties, with two long tusks, and the knight riding on the pig immediately reminded Zhao Hai of a person, Zhu Bajie.

It’s too similar, like some pigs in prairie clothes. These people have leather caps on their heads and leather clothes on their bodies, but a big pig’s head is placed on the thick neck, and the snow-white belly is exposed. There is also a layer of black fur on the belly. As long as they put on monk robes and get a palladium, they are pigs, and they don’t even need to paint.

Zhao Hai wanted to laugh, but thought it was too rude, and if he laughed at those orcs and caused a conflict, it would not be beautiful, so he held back and slowly calmed down his emotions.

Next to the pot-bellied pig-headed knights, there are several dogs. These dogs are very special. Each of them is about one meter high. The hair on the body is very long, but the running speed is very fast, and there is no random barking. The pointy fangs are also exposed outside the lips, and at first glance, it is not easy to mess with.

Zhao Hai and the others stopped immediately, and they were not on guard, showing a friendly look. Sure enough, the pig knights also slowed down. At this time, Zhao Hai discovered that these pot-bellied pig-headed knights were all holding weapons. Their weapons could be described as simple. They were a big sheep’s head with a wooden handle, and some of them were not wooden handles. It is a handle made of animal bones.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t dare to underestimate this kind of weapon. The sheep’s heads as weapons were all very large. At first glance, the weight was not light. If they were hit by this thing, they would definitely break bones and tendons.

At this time, the pot-bellied pig people had reached about fifty meters in front of them, and both sides stopped, but the dogs raised by the pot-bellied pig people had already detoured and surrounded Zhao Hai and the others. Now, they all stared at Zhao Hai and the others, a whining warning sound came out of their throats.
