Lord Helanza

Alcohol is mixed with the smell of tobacco and perfume, and the slightly drunk alcoholics are twisting their bodies to the tune of the bard under the high platform.

If you want to dance with a certain dancer in the audience, then invite her to have a glass of wine, but this kind of wine will cost three or five Silver Coins. Of course, the reward is not only a glass of wine.

Surdak asked the bartender for a plate of nuts. Perhaps only in the hustle and bustle can he feel that this world full of fantasy is so real. He took a sip of the slightly sour and mellow ale. It's not bitter.

After the bard sang this long song, he happily exited among the countless flowers thrown in the audience. This kind of people live in no fixed place all their lives. They only need to collect the travel expenses to the next destination. It will start regardless of weather conditions, and then cut everything in this city resolutely and resolutely.

The noise in the pub has been reduced a lot. Many drinkers returned to their seats. They picked up their glasses again and chatted with the people around them laughing and talking. Surdak thought it was next There will be a performance by another bard or dance troupe, but it is a short and fat businessman who walks up to the high platform. The dress on his body is open because he can't wrap his greasy belly. With a smile on Yuan's face, he stood on the stage and gasped.

& The gray dwarves on the Pai plateau, the lizardmen in the wild swamp."

For a while, the audience was restless, but there was not much cheering. On the contrary, all around boos all around, but these drinkers It seems that there will be such a show long ago, and one after another is watching the high platform.

After that, someone from the stage stood up, raised their heads and shouted to the merchants on the stage with dissatisfaction: "Khan, these people from the Antarctic and Northern Territory, I said Kag Er, how can you say that you are also the big slave master in our Helanza city, why do you always sell these unpretentious guys? Why don't you bring back some half-elves and Jana beauties?"

Loudly The man who spoke was a sturdy nobleman. He was wearing a tuxedo, a saber hung from his waist, messy curly hair, and his eyes were sharp and arrogant. His words resonated with the alcoholic guests around.

The businessman Kagle on the stage said unceremoniously: "Now Charles Your Majesty is entering into a cloth-for-herbal trade with the Silver Moon Elf world. Who in the entire Grimm empire dares to openly sell elf slaves? Are you not afraid of being sent to the guillotine? I'm just returning some Ghana mermaids. Can you afford to build a sea pond to raise them? Don't you think the bathtub at home is just Can you feed the Jana mermaid?"

The crowd all around laughed.

Someone in the crowd said with a smile: "Haha, Yoga, you can’t be more ambitious and buy the manor of the Earl of Faunak outside the mountain city to block the smelly Kagle Mouth?"

The strong man named Yoga cursed unceremoniously at the assassin: "Fart, that manor was ransacked by robbers outside the city twice in three years. I buy that manor, unless I am crazy..."

The onstage and off-stage talk unscrupulously, let the cold atmosphere in the tavern be ignited again, Surdak didn't expect to come to this tavern by himself There is actually a slave selling business. The businessmen on the stage saw the crowd become active, and quickly raised high canes, loudly shouted:

"Okay, please be quiet..."

Then the curtain behind the high platform was lifted, and several dwarves filed out from behind the curtain. Their hands and feet were tied with black iron chains. These gray dwarf slaves were naked, with messy hair on their chins. He still has a long beard.

The skin of the dwarves who filed out showed the color of limestone, just like their name is gray dwarf, but these dwarves look a little sluggish, and their faces are full of wrinkles, and there are some scars on their bodies. , There are fierce rays of light hidden in the eyes.

Standing on the stage, Kagel circled the four gray dwarves a few times, pinched the tight muscles of the gray dwarves with his fingers, and said proudly: "These gray dwarves are here. As for the northeastern part of the Pai Plateau, they were captured in a battle with the orcs. They are good at forging metallurgy and mining. They have travelled thousands of miles to the Grimm Empire, and now they come to the city of Helanza in Pena Province. Can a gray dwarf craftsman with a skilled casting skill buy it back?"

The nobles in the audience have been waiting a little impatiently, and shouted at Cagle:

" Don't be fussy, hurry up and talk about their bidding prices."

Kagel pressed his cane against the solid muscles of the gray dwarf and said to the people in the audience with a confident smile on his face: "Um, the starting price for each gray dwarf is ten Gold Coin."

Hearing such an offer from Kagle, the tavern suddenly became quiet. Someone yelled in the audience: "They see It’s already very old..."

Kaggle heard someone say this, waved his hand to the man and said, "The lifespan of the gray dwarf is usually between 200 and 300 years old. In my opinion , They can still work for at least 50 to 100 years. This is the reason I sell them for ten Gold Coins."

"Ten Gold Coins..." someone rushed to say.

The first person opens a bid, and immediately there will be followers competing for it.

"Twelve!" Another nobleman raised his hand and said.

"Thirteen..."

In fact, Surdak was also very tempted by the price of this dwarf slave. After a few rounds of competition, it only reached 30 Gold Coins. Considering the lack of experienced miners in the sulfur mines, these dwarves are born with such abilities. Surdak thought that he would spend about fifty gold to photograph a gray dwarf, which is not unacceptable.

At this time, someone in the audience raised the price to 47 gold...

There was no one in the audience to bid for a while, and there was silence in the bar.

Surdak reached out and touched his money bag. He was about to raise his hand and call out the price of 48 gold, but then his hand was grabbed.

Surdak was shocked, thinking that Carl was in the bar and he had no other acquaintances in Helanza.

Turning around, I found that a magician in a gray robe was sitting opposite him.

Surdak suddenly remembered that this magician was the gray robe magician who had come to Helanza to sell sand wolf meat last time and helped him enter the underground market. The magician didn't speak, but slightly shook the head to him. Surdak wittily gave up bidding on the gray dwarf.

When the auction of the gray dwarf slave was over, Dalla got up and left the pub. Surdak quickly got up and followed him and walked out of the pub.

The tall magician stopped on the street, turned around and said to Surdak: "Gray dwarves are the most notorious robbers in Dwarf Race. Their greatest feature is to dig holes and rob everywhere. Don't expect They have mastered the craftsmanship of Dwarf Race. You said that they would buy it back and of course it is impossible to send to the battlefield, so these gray dwarves have no value at all."

When the magician said the reason, Surdak knew it. Not all dwarves are proficient in forging, metallurgy and quarrying.

"You saved me from loss, thank you, Master Magician!" He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the magician.

The magician slightly smiled and said: "My name is Dalle. You look very much like a native of the North, so I will feel very kind when I see you. Don't think I am troublesome... "
