I'm not that kind of orc
Page 159
Speaking of which, the few of us used exactly the same cloth-wrapped luggage provided by the camp.
The time quickly turned to three o'clock in the afternoon. As arranged, Arsena took us down the mountain along the deliberately slowed winding horse path in a carriage. In less than two quarters of an hour, we arrived at the mountain at the foot of the mountain. town.
When we came out of the coach station, we were greeted by a wide avenue full of traffic.
"Wow, there are so many people, so many shops! And those...are they stalls!" Feilan stood by the street and looked around, her eyes sparkling.
"It's much more lively than the towns near my hometown." Angelica nodded.
"When I came to Helgia before, I only went to the palace. I have never visited the streets of human towns." Princess Alisa also looked very interested.
"Everyone, don't get separated, remember to tell me first when you want to go into the shop." Alsena acted like a team leader, "If you haven't found each other within [-] minutes after we parted, come back here to gather."
"It feels like a lot of people are watching us." I was a little sensitive to the concentrated gazes of passers-by around me.
Fortunately, these gazes seemed to be basically out of curiosity, without any sense of panic or hostility.
"My territory is bordered by Saidian Forest in the west, and there is a fortress point leading to the orc tribe in the north. I have some trade with the orc tribe and the elves. This Muling town is also famous for buying orc and elf specialties. It is a popular tourist town, and the residents here have some concepts about orcs and elves." Alsena explained to us, "But after all, these trade activities are initiated by our side, and orcs and elves rarely appear directly. It's in town. Don't worry about it, we'll just browse ours."
I think the fact that orcs, elves, half-elves, and humans have teamed up to form such an unprecedented tour group is the most remarkable.
"By the way, is it really okay for you, the lord, to swagger around here?" I suddenly remembered this.
"I have just become the crown prince and made my identity public not long ago. I have only shown myself a few times in front of the people of the capital. As for the people here, they should only know that there is a lord's residence on the mountain. I am afraid that few people know what I look like. Don't worry. Right." Alsena didn't care.
"Okay, then..." I also temporarily ignored the gazes around me, and started to look at the street.
I also promised Angelica to buy her clothes.
But at this moment, I felt my sleeves being pulled.
At first I subconsciously thought it was Angelica, but when I turned my head away, I unexpectedly found that Feilan was pulling my sleeve.
"Why?" I asked subconsciously.
Feilan curled her lips uncomfortably, raised her finger and pointed to a shop on the opposite side of the avenue: "Hey, let me tell you, can you accompany me to that shop?"
Country of Gold Tours (4)
I glanced at the shop Feilan was pointing at, briefly glanced at the name of the shop on the big signboard, and then looked at the promotional words on the signboard below.
"Herbal medicine... rare medicine... potion ingredients..." I squinted my eyes to carefully identify the general text on it.
"That guy Roland told me before that the trade on the human side is very developed, and sometimes you can find rare materials that Saidian can't buy. I want to have a look." Feilan whispered aside.
"Then it's fine if you go, why do you want me to accompany you?" I couldn't help feeling puzzled.
"I, I've never been to a human store, what if it's just a lair of thieves disguised as a storefront..." Feilan said nervously, as if imagining why someone would touch her from behind as soon as she entered the store. A naked gauze is developed to cover the nose and mouth.
"At any rate, it's a store on the boulevard, so don't be so imaginative!" I looked at her speechlessly, "And is there any need to be so afraid? You are also a mage, right?"
"Who's so scared? I'm just being more cautious!" Feilan became anxious all of a sudden, "You...you won't lose a piece of meat just to accompany others! I haven't settled with you for the lunch thing yet! When I was about to take a shower, you knocked on the door and put your luggage in my room!"
After returning to the room at noon, I found that the luggage in my room belonged to Angelica. In the end, we found out that the servants had perfectly mistakenly mixed up everyone’s luggage: Feilan’s package was put in I arrived at Princess Alisa's room, and the bag that Angelica took out that I pulled out of the bra belonged to Princess Alisa, and Angelica's luggage went to my room, while mine went to Feilan s room.
"Hey, please be reasonable. The person who helped us with our luggage sent us to the wrong room. You can't blame me!" I stared.
But Feilan still had an indignant look on her face: "Ms. Ben came out of the shower to change clothes, but when she reached out, she took out yours, yours..." She blushed as she spoke. face, and stared at him viciously, "Pervert!"
When she came over, she threw the luggage at my face with this expression.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!" Based on the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, I didn't choose to continue fighting with her.
Anyway, going with her won't lose a piece of meat.
"Then you..." I turned my head to look at the others, but unexpectedly found that Princess Alisa and Angelica had already moved to a stall selling accessories not far away to pick them up, and Arsena was on the sidelines stay with them.
So soon I started to immerse myself in it.
"Hey, Arsena! Let's go to the store over there first." I greeted Arsena tentatively.
"Understood, we will wait for you here." Arsena gave a thumbs up.
I crossed the avenue, pushed open the door of the store and stepped in. Feilan followed me nervously holding my sleeve.
Of course, it is not a lair of thieves, but an ordinary drug store, which is somewhat similar to the drug store of our orc tribe.However, there are obviously more kinds of things. The closet that occupies the entire wall behind the counter is divided into a large number of grids. Each grid contains different medicine bottles and jars. On the side shelf is a huge sealed box. Pots and wooden barrels, as well as some materials such as animal bones, feathers, dried plants, and spar are hung in strings on high pergolas.
"Welcome, welcome... Oh, this is really a strange pair of customers." The thin middle-aged shopkeeper sitting behind the counter greeted us with a smile.
This reaction was somewhat unexpected.
"I don't think you're very surprised, boss." I recalled the scenes of dealing with human traveling merchants in the past, and greeted him in the common language.
"There are a lot of rare things in this store that come from the north and Saidian. I have dealt with both the orcs of Pradru and the elves of Saidian. It's really the first time I've seen elves walking together." The middle-aged shopkeeper said with a flattering smile, "But it's a customer anyway, what do you two want?"
Seems like someone who has seen the world.
I looked at Feilan.
Feilan obviously had no experience in dealing with human businessmen, so she straightened her back stiffly: "I, I just took a look. Is there any unusual potion ingredients?"
"Yes, yes, please look at this side." The middle-aged shopkeeper pointed to one side of the lattice closet. The five rows of lattices from this side are all treasures made of giant beast materials purchased from Pradru's orc tribe. Some of the medicines are treasures that can only be bought here, and they are rarely bought in Saidian. "
"You still sell the materials of giant beasts?" I glanced casually, and suddenly noticed a string of feathers hanging on the pergola, "You even sell the feathers of Thunder Carving?"
"You really know the goods. Genuine laser-carved feathers, precious spell materials, and after being burned to ashes, they can be used to make special medicines to relieve epilepsy. Are you interested? Five silver coins each." The middle-aged shopkeeper introduced skillfully.
"Five silver coins?" I widened my eyes.
"Five silver coins a piece?" Feilan also showed surprise, just when I thought she would stretch out five trembling fingers and say, "You might as well grab it", but she answered, "Wow, it's so cheap here." ? You changed hands and sold it to Sai Di'an, and it went up to eight silver coins apiece, it's too dark!"
"Eight pieces?" I was shocked again, "Hey, you humans only have one silver coin to buy laser carving feathers from us!"
Tsk, these profiteers from the human race... We always thought that the purchase price was quite high.
"Well, we have to consider the cost of transportation. In such a dangerous place as Pradru, we have to hire border guards or orc mercenaries to escort us. There are also storefronts and commercial taxes. These are all costs." The Lord spoke clearly and clearly.
But no matter how much it has increased by four times, is it too exaggerated?If we used to bring these things to humans to sell... No, humans are not stupid, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to get permission to trade directly here.
"Hey, what is the white powder in that glass bottle for?" Feilan seemed to be interested in the medicines on the closet, she squinted her eyes to read the labels carefully, "Saber tooth leopard... bone meal?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper suddenly cheered up: "Ah, you really know the goods! This is a powder made from the bones of the saber leopard in the wild of the giant beast, one of the most popular medicines in our shop!"
Um?Grinding saber bones into powder... what's the use?
"What is it for?" Feilan asked.
"Hehe! Well..." The middle-aged shopkeeper rubbed his palms, smiled cheaply, and put on an expression of "you understand", "The bone meal of the saber-toothed leopard is a special medicine for aphrodisiac. Orcs are very popular there."
Feilan and I were both stunned.
The next second, she glanced at me with a mixture of shock and disgust: "You orcs..."
"Hey! Wait! There's no such thing!" I couldn't help shouting.
Country of Gold Tours (5)
What's happening here?I've never fucking heard of such a fucking use for something like this!
Feilan, who finished rolling her eyes at me, shifted her eyes to the cabinet again, and asked, "Then what's the powder in the bottle on the left?"
"The bone powder of the mountain beast is also a special medicine for aphrodisiac that is popular among orcs." The shopkeeper maintained the smile that made me want to beat him up, and repeated the lines just now.
Feilan's face became a little hot when this topic was mentioned, and this girl seemed to be a little difficult to deal with this kind of topic.She stared at me again in embarrassment and anger, feeling a little more disgusted and alienated than before.
"Hey, don't stare at me, there is no such thing in our place! Really!" I tried my best to justify our reputation as orcs.
Feilan seemed to endure it, and turned to the counter again, pointing at another medicine bottle: "What is that red bottle?"
The shopkeeper glanced at it and smiled: "It's the blood of the hoofed cow that has been embalmed. The orc shaman uses this as a spell material for drawing totems..."
This one is, thank God, something normal at last.
I just breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and the owner said again: "It also has the miraculous effect of strengthening yang!"
I suddenly felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly.
The smile on the shopkeeper's face became more and more passionate as he said: "It is said that the orcs are very strong, and they rely on using these things to nourish them for years! Are you a guest?" He actually turned to me while talking. wink.
For your size, yes!Damn it, I always thought you humans were a little more serious... It turns out that you have the same strange impression of us orcs as those elves! ?
"Then, that... what about that?" Feilan was already a little ashamed to speak, but she still reluctantly pointed to a box placed in a grid.
The shopkeeper still had a sinister smile on his face: "The box contains dried six-legged rock lizard scales, and the effect is strong—"
"I'm strong, your mother is strong!" I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I slapped my palm on the counter and glared at the shopkeeper, "There is no such kind of saying over there, if you mention these two words again, believe it or not, I will blow your head Unscrew it?"
The shop owner was taken aback, and quickly smiled at me: "Don't, don't be so excited. Customers, these things have been selling very well in our promotion, and there are many repeat customers. I think it should be really effective. As he spoke, he turned to Feilan, and winked twice: "Miss, why don't you buy some first? I can give you a little discount." He deliberately glanced at me twice as he spoke. .
My heart suddenly thumped.
"Try?" Feilan stood there without reacting, blinked her eyes several times, then looked at me following the shopkeeper's line of sight, and suddenly understood what the shopkeeper meant, her face flushed instantly.
The next moment, with such a face of embarrassment and anger, she gritted her teeth and raised her hand to the shopkeeper: "You you you...you are looking for death!!"
The flame suddenly burst out from her palm, and the owner jumped up from the chair in fright, and retreated to the closet with his head in his arms: "Oh, calm down! Calm down, customer!"
I hurriedly leaned forward and grabbed Feilan's wrist and held her hand down: "Hey, stop! You want to kill and set fire here?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! The female customers who come to my store with male companions basically come to buy those things in the end. I thought you would be interested, Miss..." The owner shrank She shook her head while explaining, but saw that Feilan's face was getting darker and darker, and she even raised her hand slowly again, begging for mercy in a hurry, "Don't, don't, don't make me wrong... Well, you are a sorcerer Ah, do you want to buy some spell materials back? I can give you a discount!"
In this case, I still don't forget to sell the goods. Even I admire the business sense of this human shopkeeper.
"Miss Ben beat you to pieces first! You actually chewed your tongue!" Feilan, who was being held by my wrist, said angrily, and turned her face away, "This bastard and I just... ...not that kind of relationship..."
Uh-huh?Why is your voice getting smaller and smaller?
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue." The shopkeeper apologized again and again, "As an apology, I will give you the best discounts on all the products on site, please choose whatever you want!"
In the end, Feilan bought a few feathers carved with lightning and took them away. The transaction price was two silver coins each——I realized that the price of the goods here was inflated. I am afraid that the last transaction This is the real price, after all, their purchase price for raw materials is only half of this.If I didn't know in advance, I should still feel that I took a big deal.
Human beings are full of tricks in doing business, and they are not as straightforward as us orcs.
"Welcome to come again next time."
In the enthusiastic farewell sound of the owner, we stepped out of the store and joined Arsena and the others who were waiting in front of the stall just now.
Angelica looked at the store we came out of, then at me, then at Feilan, and asked her, "Just as soon as I turned around...you disappeared, you two, go to that store What did you do? Why is your face so red?"
"No, I didn't do anything! I just bought some materials!" Feilan didn't meet her eyes.
"Hmm..." Angelica narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
Huh?I always feel like she's in a bad mood...
