Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 2 The Price of Life

Li Ke really wanted to have other choices.

But when he looked at the current situation and thought about it, he didn't think that his current ability and capital could break the situation.

The people around him are stronger than him, and he can probably guess why.

Compared with him, an ape-man who evolved from a monkey, these humans in Azeroth are real titan creations, life degenerated from steel machines.

Moreover, the original duty of these steel machines is to fight, and it is impossible for guys who specialize in fighting with various ancient gods not to have sufficient martial arts.

The only thing he can praise in front of people in this world is his familiarity with the plot, plus some knowledge of his previous life.

But people don't tell you about this.

People only talk about violence.

So the truth is, he had no choice.

"Our business is very simple. Buy low and sell high. Some people give us things they don't need, and we refurbish them and sell them again. This is our business."

When Talos spoke, there was an indescribably proud expression on his face, as well as a trace of reluctance.

"So we must have connections, brains, five big and three thick, but people with empty heads can't do this kind of business."

He took Li Ke out of the town on a remote path that Li Ke had never seen before.

Li Ke always thought this was a small closed hill, but when the other party took him over, Li Ke realized that there was actually a path in the hill.

He didn't know what to say, so he could only follow them silently.

After walking for a long time, the sky darkened, and a group of people silently lit torches, and then Li Ke saw something move in the grass.

"Damn it, wolf cub..."

Talos cursed in a low voice, and then two apprentices came out from behind him, and rushed towards the grass with two hammers in hand. Not long after, there were whimpers from the grass, and then an old The lone wolf was dragged out of the grass by them.

When this motorcycle-sized wolf was dragged out by its legs, its body was still twitching, but Li Ke knew it was dead.

So far, he hadn't seen a living creature whose head had been smashed in half.

Looking at the other party's cloudy and desperate eyes, Li Ke knew that he did not have the ability to pity the other party. Although the other party was dying, he still struggled.

As for his own words, he may not even have the strength to struggle.

Seeing those people skillfully peeling and cramping, Li Ke felt that he and this wolf were actually the same, they were all meat on other people's chopping boards.

"Okay, just a goddamn lone wolf, go."

Seeing him staring in a daze, Talos put his arms around his shoulders again and led him forward.

Then there were not many accidents this time. After walking for about an hour, they saw a group of people. There were about twenty or thirty of them. They all covered their armor with sackcloth, and most of them didn't want to look up. Just looked sideways at them, and didn't light the torch.

Although no banner was displayed, Li Ke could tell the identities of these people from the style of their armor.

A knight sent by Lordaeron.

Unlike the local nobles, most of these knights from Lordaeron are veterans who have experienced many battles. There are a lot of patterns on their armor, which represent one deadly battle after another.

But what made Li Ke recognize them was their height.

Warriors from Lordaeron are generally taller and stronger than fighters from other places, and some can even reach about [-] meters, and their stature is burly and strong to match their height.

This allowed them to fight with shoulder armor nearly two centimeters thick, and full-coverage armor almost the same thickness.

Not to mention the current Li Ke's fifty, but one hundred is more than enough.

Li Ke felt that the apprentices around him were tall and strong enough, but compared with the people in front of him, they were obviously much worse.

Only Talos can be compared with the other party.

As for Li Ke?

It can only be said that this is not a barrier that exercise can break through, but a gap called race.

"You are too slow."

This was the first sentence the other party said when they saw Talos. Obviously, after taking Li Ke with them, Talos and the others really slowed down.

"No way, I have to bring this person here today, so it's a bit slower."

When Talos spoke, he pushed Li Ke, making Li Ke stagger, making Li Ke involuntarily come to the speaking knight.

Li Ke failed to adjust his position hastily, so under the light of the moonlight and the torch, he could clearly see the knight's face.

A sturdy middle-aged man with a big beard.

Li Ke had seen him before. The other party was a member of the Lordan Road Knights, a logistics officer in charge of logistics. Li Ke recognized him because he came to the blacksmith shop to deal with Talos several times.

Seeing Li Ke, the man frowned, and casually swept Li Ke aside.

Li Ke could see that he was very dissatisfied that Li Ke could see his face clearly like this.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's inspect the goods."

He impatiently pointed to the carts of things behind him, Talos whistled, and then pulled Li Ke over.

He didn't remove a piece of tarpaulin, Li Ke's heart beat suddenly, because all of these cars were brand new, with shining armor and sword blades.

These armors are all high-quality goods—compared to the high-quality goods in this small town, they are the high-level materials of the Knights of Lordaeron.If an ordinary noble family wants to buy a set of such armor, they basically have to take off a layer of skin.

If the little nobles don't join the army, they don't even think about it.

As for civilians?

Civilians should not think too much. This kind of full-coverage armor is prohibited for civilians. They do not have official positions or titles, and it is illegal to possess them.

Because this thing is not as inconvenient to move as ordinary plate armor. Wearing this kind of armor on your body, you can even perform backflips without restriction!

A decapitated deal!

This was what Li Ke thought of at the first time, but Talos, who was holding him tightly, didn't intend to let him go. Instead, with the convenience of holding Li Ke, he used a dagger to hold Li Ke's left chest.

"Look at the color of these things."

Li Ke had no choice but to start checking these armors.

Don't worry about the weapon, someone has already checked it.

But after Li Ke looked at the armor, his heart became colder and colder the more he looked at it.

The armor is in good condition. Although each one has some traces of clips being cut off, it does not affect the use. Even if you don't find a special blacksmith, you can repair it as long as you find a skilled blacksmith.

And the most nonsensical thing is the armor at the back. You don't even bother to cut off things like buckles, but just make a few scratches and it's over.

Talos obviously saw this too, he sneered and let go of Li Ke.

The last few cars are no longer armors and the like, but some gems and delicate objects. Li Keka can't quite understand the shape and meaning of these things, but he can roughly guess that these should be carried out. What ritual vessel.

Because among these things, there are one or two crystal balls and books.

Talos was not interested in these things, he just flipped them a few times casually, then patted Li Ke, and turned to the quartermaster.

"You keep watching."

What he said was completely nonsense, because Li Ke didn't understand the language of this world at all, and the reason why he said what he said here was entirely because the lord's mage cast a spell on him.

Talos and the quartermaster were standing together and discussing something constantly, but Li Ke couldn't hear them because their conversation was very low.

But it was clear that their discussion was not a pleasant one, as their voices quickly rose.

"What I'm trying to say is, you've over-fished, idiot! The price of things is so high, who do you think we are working for? You don't have much experience, don't think this job is so simple!"

His fingers poked fiercely on the somewhat stained armor of the quartermaster, and Talos sprayed his saliva on the bearded quartermaster very rudely.

The opponent was holding the sword hilt, and his face was still tired and dusty from the expedition, so when he was pointed at his chest and scolded, he was quite impatient.

To be honest, Li Ke really felt terrified, he was really afraid that they would be silenced.

Because even if he doesn't know the language of this world, he is very clear that according to the current situation, according to the laws of Lordaeron, all the people present will be punished one by one.

Usually it is hanged, and the lightest ones are also sentenced to exile or guillotine.

So if you can't agree, you can only pray that the other party will care about the people behind Talos.

Otherwise, Li Ke does not guarantee whether these people will...

"Quiet!"

Talos laughed exaggeratedly, and then continued to spray his saliva.

"I really hope you know what you are talking about, my husband, after you kill us, do you think you will be safe and sound? Of course, you certainly don't care about the threat of a muddy leg like me, but you must I can know that after you kill me here, you will definitely not get what you want."

While speaking, Talos patted his money bag, making the money inside make a crisp sound.

The face of the knight with a lot of wind and frost twitched.

Living in Lordaeron is not easy.

This is not a joke, but a fact.

Whether it is daily life, maintaining the decency of nobles, or maintaining and manufacturing equipment for yourself and your family, it is not a simple job.

So he needs the money badly, and a lot of people need the money.

What are you fighting the enemy for?Isn't it for money and status?
There is really little money to wipe out the cult members this time. The small cult has only a scale of more than 100 people and has gathered more than a dozen bandits.As a result, His Majesty the King sent [-] knights, [-] soldiers, [-] mages from Dalaran, and even enough supplies.

To be honest, the loot is really not enough.

After all, the people sent by His Majesty the King are enough to attack the city.Moreover, the loot mages have to take the bulk. The most precious magic treasures and valuable books of those cultists have been looted by those mages, otherwise the income is barely enough.

Even Rivendell, not far away, would have quite a headache when facing their army, and fell directly into a passive position.

Therefore, everyone can only find other ways to get some benefits.

"Anyway, the last two cars are worthless, they are just some cultist stuff, I can't even sell them, so just give them to me."

Talos smiled.

The gadgets of those cultists are all gold-plated, and scraping off the gold is a lot of money, not to mention the gems that mages look down on.

It's a lot of money when it's done.

As for the books, he glanced at them casually just now, they were just some erotic novels, those high-ranking mages would not let them miss them, the really valuable things had been taken away long ago.

The quartermaster was silent for a while, Talos shoved a bag of money into his hand tactfully, and whistled, and his apprentices also untied small bags from their belts one by one, and threw them into the quartermaster's hand. before.

"Excuse me?"

Looking at the unmoved quartermaster and soldiers, Talos was a little nervous. He didn't know if these bribes could convince them.

The quartermaster glanced at the purse under his feet, and then at the one Talos gave him. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

"of course can."

There are so many things in there.

Talos showed a smile, and so did his subordinates and the soldiers on the opposite side, and the whole place was filled with joy for a while.

Talos put his finger in his mouth, whistled suddenly, and then came to the convoy with a smile on his face, and came to Li Ke's side again.

And those soldiers also left the convoy tacitly, allowing the blacksmith apprentices to take control of these cars.

After casually flipping through the erotic books he had just seen, Talos had to admit that these books were quite attractive to him.

So he kept flipping through it, trying to find some interesting ones, and he will read them at home tonight.

But when flipping through these books, Talos saw a yellow booklet without any words on it, which was quite discordant among these erotic books, and...

Let him quite disappointed.

He sneered, a booklet with nothing is just right for a waste with nothing.

So he threw the yellow booklet into Li Ke's arms.

After all, I followed the work, even if it was for the sake of rules, I had to give this guy something.

"This thing is yours, and after you take it together with your share, it will be considered as your own."

Li Ke quickly caught the booklet, and before he had time to read it, Talos hugged him again and walked up to the quartermaster.

The quartermaster was a little puzzled, because he had already heard the sound of horses with money coming. What did this guy named Talos want to do?
Do you think you have bribed yourself too much?
He looked at Talos suspiciously, and Talos smiled and took out a piece of parchment.

"Just in case, I want to have a contract, and it just so happens that my subordinate wants to join the group, so I let him sign it."

The quartermaster frowned. He didn't understand why he did this. A contract was required for this kind of thing?Are you afraid that there will be no evidence of guilt when you are tried?

But he took the parchment for the sake of bribery, but when he saw it, the way he looked at Li Ke became weird.

This is a confession.

He admitted that as a leader, he led the bandits to steal ordnance and threatened the blacksmiths to sell the stolen goods.

He knew why his bribes were so much.
