Chapter 493 It's All The Evil God's Fault!(1/2)
September is the month when the season turns cooler.
The hot summer has passed and the cool autumn has arrived.
However, for the Death Desert, even in early autumn, the high temperatures are still discouraging.
Moreover, due to the end of the summer rainy season, the autumn in the Death Desert is drier. Combined with the weather that will occasionally go off the season, the dryness and high temperatures are enough to make people crazy...
Only orcs with thick skin and flesh can adapt to this climate.
Death northern desert.
A group of human caravans loaded with cargoes were slowly moving forward.
The caravan had about sixty or seventy people and twenty carriages. Each carriage had a black hawk logo on one side, which was very eye-catching.
That is the unique monogram of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce.
The strongest party in the caravan was a human warrior riding a camel, about thirty years old.
He was wearing leather armor and had a black hawk badge on his chest, which was the token of the Chamber of Commerce owned by the leader of the Soren Chamber of Commerce, and it was also a proof of his identity and status.
In the Soren Chamber of Commerce, only powerful silver professions will have such badges.
I saw him looking at the scorching sun in the sky, then taking out a water bag and drinking a sip of water, wiping his sweat and cursing:
"This is a hell of weather!"
Even silver professions cannot tolerate such high temperatures before they advance to the golden level to achieve a complete transformation of their physical fitness.
The caravan gradually advanced, bypassed one deserted hill after another, and finally arrived in an oasis.
The oasis is not large in size, surrounded by a shallow lake, with prosperous reeds and desert poplars growing on the shore.
Around the oasis are hundreds of tents and thatched huts of all sizes.
And the orcs who are strong in simple leather armor or sackcloths are busy.
This is a half-orc settlement.
The climate of the Death Desert is harsh, especially lacking water sources. Only similar oasis can become a place of life.
After seeing the orc settlement, the leader of the Chamber of Commerce finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The orcs also noticed the arrival of caravans, and there was a clear commotion throughout the settlement.
Especially after noticing the Chamber of Commerce’s Black Hawk logo.
Looking at the orcs' mixed sights of greed, curiosity, desire and vigilance swept through their ragged equipment and clothes, the leader warrior curiously curled his lips.
"The inferior race is the inferior race..."
He murmured to himself.
Even if humans are not even considered a Black Iron race, he still doesn't look down on these silly big men with only muscles in their minds.
This is determined by the comprehensive strength of the race and the strength of the true gods it possesses.
But soon, the caravan leader changed into a warm smile.
He turned over and shouted at the settlement:
"Sharu! I am Andris! The goods you want have arrived!"
The silver profession had a loud voice and the voice soon spread throughout the settlement.
After a moment, accompanied by a burst of haha laughter, a tall orc priest with a scarred face walked out of the settlement surrounded by several orc warriors.
He came to the caravan and looked at the full trucks with satisfaction.
"Thank you all the way, Mr. Andris!"
He smiled at the caravan leader, Andris.
Andris slapped him in surprise and couldn't help but say:
"Huh? Have you been promoted to silver?"
This is a priest under the command of silver!
You should know that silver professions are not common among orcs. Even if the magic begins to revive, due to the limitation of racial potential, there are very few silver powerful people in orcs.
Not to mention a rare priest.
There are only a few hundred tents like this, with only one thousand people dying. Apart from the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, there are only five or six hundred soldiers who can take action. Generally speaking, there will be no silver rank priests born.
So... Andris was very surprised.
He didn't smuggle in the Death Desert many times, but because he had studied at Imperial Academy and specialized in the culture of orcs, he thought he still had a good understanding of orcs.
When he heard Andris' surprise, the orc priest named Sharu became extremely proud.
He chuckled, then his expression became solemn and gradually became pious.
"Praise the cold winter and praise hunting! They are all blessings under the crown of the Father God!"
He drew a bow symbol on his chest.
Andris suddenly realized that the other party had been favored by the true god, so he would be promoted to the level.
Then, he signaled the subordinates of the caravan to open the truck and said to the orc priest:
"Here, the five hundred pieces of imperial equipment and food you want, and there are a lot of them at a glance, they are all the latest. Check it out."
After hearing his words, the orc priest's eyes lit up:
"That's great! Now the warriors of our tribe can do their best!"
He waved to the orcs behind him, and the orcs stepped forward to check the goods.
A moment later, the orc warrior who had consulted nodded to Sharu, and Sharu's smile became even more enthusiastic:
"I knew that the Sauron Chamber of Commerce will always be friends with orcs!"
"Mr. Andris, and all the human friends, hurry up and rest our tribe. Thank you all the hard work, we have prepared our drinks."
He invited the caravan.
Andris nodded, and directed the caravan to enter the Orc Tribe to rest.
He was not worried that the other party would cheat, even the silver profession that had appeared in this small tribe.
Maybe he would be wary of orcs on weekdays, but this time the other party would definitely not dare to do anything randomly.
Because this transaction was negotiated by the Orc Court in the Dead Desert and the senior executives of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and it is said that there is a stronger endorsement...
What Andris himself led was only one of the many Sauron caravans that traded with the orcs.
Drinking the sweet sandy spring water, Andrews sat in the cold shade, squinting his eyes at the orcs who were excitedly distributing the trucks while eating the dry food they carried.
What surprised him was that it was not only Sharu who had improved his strength, but also these orc warriors who had become stronger.
According to him, the average strength of the orcs in the Dead Desert should be in the middle of the Black Iron, and only a few warriors can reach the top.
However, nearly half of these orcs who were competing for equipment have been promoted to the Black Iron position!
This surprised Andris, and he guessed that it was probably the work of the hunting church again.
After a while, several orcs who were pushing wheelbarrows came down to him under the priest's leadership.
There are three wheelbarrows, each filled with fur.
It is the skin of a rare monster "Sand Spotted Leopard" unique to the Dead Desert. It is very beautiful. It is a priceless luxury in the human world, and the profits of smuggling are extremely high.
These three furs are sold in the human world, which is enough to cover seven or eight hundred exquisite armor and equipment, as well as enough food for a small orc tribe to eat for three months.
"very good!"
Seeing these furs, Andris looked satisfied.
However, his eyes did not stop, but looked at the rear expectantly.
"Is there any more? That...you know, private goods."
He chuckled and asked meaningfully.
After hearing Andris' words, the Orc Priest smiled first, and then nodded meaningfully:
"Of course, there are private goods, too."
Then, he winked at the orc behind him, and the other party nodded obscurely and pushed a carriage with gray cloth tightly covered with other orcs.
Andris's eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and carefully uncovered a corner of the gray cloth.
Below the gray cloth is a cage.
In the cage, three beautiful young female elves were tightly tied up and shivered.
“Only three?”
Andris frowned.
"Hey, this is not easy. You also know that the Elf Forest has been making a big fuss recently. Only these three were caught by us blocking the road from the Dark Mountains. They were all planned to return to the Elf Forest from the Kingdom of Iris."
"However, this is also the limit. Recently, those evil elves have begun to appear in the Dark Mountains, and we have also lost a lot of manpower."
To be continued...
