Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 440 437. Abedi, the Capital of Commerce

While various matters in the territory were waiting for the lord to deal with, Rand was wandering in the orc territory west of the Iowa Pass on the westernmost border of the territory, the Hindukel Basin.

As a buffer zone between the Orc Plateau and the Benma Plain, the entire Hinduker Basin is almost surrounded by mountains, and the basin plain is also hilly and intertwined with water networks. This terrain can be said to combine the advantages of mountains and plains, not only magic Abundant and abundant.

The total area of ​​the basin is less than 1/3 of the Benma Plain, but there are far more minerals and forest land than the Benma Plain.There is also a large forest in the south, which belongs to the edge of the central forest on the same continent as the forest to the west of the Barony of Galloping Horse, but is blocked by the Iowa Mountains.

When Rand entered the interior of the basin, he flew over the forest in the south by relying on the fire, and then explored from the south to the north.Although I also know that there are a lot of lawsuits at home waiting for my lord to resolve, but the problem on the western border is related to the survival of the territory.

Of course, exploring in the orc territory also brought a very novel experience to Rand.

For example, the division of forces here is very different from what Rand imagined. The orcs in the basin have two large tribal alliances: the scorched wolf and the forest cat. All the small and medium tribes in the basin maintain a close relationship with these two tribes. In addition to the two major tribes, there are many neutral towns and city-states in the Hindu Ker Basin.

For example, Abedi, the commercial capital where Rand is located, is one of the three largest city-states in the basin, known as the commercial capital.It is a commercial city-state independent of the orc king's court and the two tribes of forest cats and scorched wolves in the basin.

Walking in Abedine, Rand feels that this place is more prosperous than the commercial area of ​​Dragon Tooth City. In the huge circular square is a tent market. There are tents of all kinds of orcs, half-orcs, dwarves and even human races. The goods include magic. Plants, weapons, potions, rare Warcraft meat, bone products, and even slaves. It can be said that there are everything in the king's capital and maned wolf city.

On the periphery of the circular square is a circle of fixed shops. The products in these shops are more high-end, rare, and expensive, and the quality is more guaranteed.

Wherever there is passenger flow, there is the service industry. Hotels, taverns, restaurants, tailors, hospitals, small theaters, circuses, and fortune-telling shops that double as flesh and blood businesses, there is always one who can spend all the gold coins in the pockets of customers.

Rand came to this commercial capital because he wanted to inquire about the news about the royal court of the beastmen in this busy city.So I went to the biggest tavern in the city: Papa Camel Wine Shop to try my luck.

There are two buildings in the front and back of this tavern, 3 floors in the front and 4 floors in the back. There is a huge yard in the middle, with pools, rockery and gardens.Lante had never seen such a luxurious tavern in the capital.

After asking the bartender, I found out that the real tavern only has the first three floors. The first floor is a tavern that sells liquor, wine or spirits, the second floor is a high-end bar that sells potion wine, and the third floor is dedicated to wine. VIP wines from all over the world.

Since it was going deep into the territory of the orcs for investigation, Rand naturally couldn't come here just like a human. Instead, he disguised himself as the deerman with the largest population, with two horns on his head,
"My guest, only tribal leaders or priests can taste the good wine here. You can give this drink list to your leader." The bartender here is a half-dwarf, and he is quite polite to Rand.

"Okay, can you bring me some shochu?" Lante saw his own galloping horse shochu on the board behind the bartender, and couldn't help but want to order a glass.

"Of course, but it's only available on the Benma Plain. It's not cheap. It's 5 silver coins a glass, and your glass is the last one in our house. You need 1 gold coin." The bartender explained as Rand stared at the brand of shochu. , "Our tavern is the only place in Abedin that sells galloping horse drinks. You can't taste it anywhere else."

The so-called pretense of double the price of the last glass, Lante didn't bother to argue, put a gold coin on the bar, and took the porcelain bottle handed over by the bartender.

Under the witness of the dwarf bartender, Lant looked at the production mark on the bottom of the bottle, with the supply destination, production date and batch on it, poured no more than 50ml into the glass, and the light yellow shochu had obvious hanging cups. This is a high-strength version exclusively for Yantiesi. Lante couldn't figure out why this version of shochu could flow to the orc territory.

Before Lante could continue to think, the door of the tavern was rudely knocked open, and a group of cat people surrounded a human girl and entered the hall.

"Old Hammer, have you seen the Beast God's Favored One here alone?" The girl asked the bartender nonchalantly, not shying away from the strange eyes of many orcs in the shop.

"Honier, you are also looking for that white wolf princess, right?" The bartender Old Hammer smiled, seeing that the Hornier female knight didn't respond, his face gradually became serious, "It's true that I haven't seen it, but I heard It is said that someone outside the city is enshrining new monsters."

Hornier was obviously interested in this information. Just as he was about to ask further, a pig-headed man beside him said loudly, "Where did this human slave come from? Why didn't your master chain you? Do you want to follow me?" Go back and be my slave?"

The pig-headed man's words were very rude, full of swear words and dirty words, but what he said was basically the truth, whether in Abedi, the capital of commerce, or in other places in the basin, although there are many human races, the human races that can be seen Basically, they are all vassals of the orc tribe. When the human tribe had to enter the city, their orc leader would lead them and even lock them with ropes and chains to show their ownership.

However, the Hornier knight next to Rand was obviously an outlier. When the pig-headed man spoke rudely, the cat-man next to Hornier clearly threatened the pig-headed man. The master-slave relationship between the female knight and the cat-man was very obvious.

"Go and search other places," the girl said, and the catmen around her left the tavern. The two tallest ones stayed outside the gate, keeping the two gates open.

"Hehe, you don't really want to be my slave, do you?" The pig-headed man saw that Hornier actually backed away, walked up to her recklessly, and then saw the female knight's right calf hit him in front of him.

"Dang~" With the crisp sound of metal leggings hitting the skull, the pig-headed man was kicked out of the gate directly, and the two cat-man guards closed the door and beat him up.

"Is there any shochu for galloping horses?" Hornier ignored everything outside and asked the bartender. The dwarf pointed to the side and landed on Rand, who was still a half-deer man.

"The last glass is here with him." The dwarf bartender pointed to Rand.

Without any hesitation, Rand directly pushed the porcelain bottle to the female knight and said "I treat you".

Not wanting to cause trouble, he drank the remaining wine in the glass, and after confirming that it was his latest batch of shochu, he left in a hurry, leaving only Hornier and the bartender Old Hammer in the shop.
