Chapter 20 The Merchant's Sense of Smell
After solving the troublesome language barrier, Green's communication with the two travelers suddenly became much smoother.
After a brief introduction, Green learned the names of two travellers: the man was Lorentz and the woman was Herola, which was exactly the same as the information in Green's game in his previous life. Now, the two are planning to transport a batch of weapons and equipment to Blackstone Fortress for sale.
"You don't even have escorts when you go to business. You are really good at it."
"If a small business is hired, there will be basically no profit." Lorentz sighed with a vicissitudes of life.
Only if you believe in you can have ghosts. With the strength of the wise wolf Herora, you don’t know who robbed whom when you meet ordinary robbers! You must have deliberately shown weakness and lured others to rob, and then openly carry out "anti-robbery" without violating the doctrine of Wojin - this kind of fishing law enforcement method is also often used by players. Unfortunately, the robbers on the main plane learned it later.
Green curled his lips and began to inquire about the situation on the road from the two merchants: "Have you encountered the undead on the road?"
"I've encountered some." Lorentz didn't care. "Although most of the undead were blocked north of the Blackstone Fortress, occasionally I would encounter some scattered undead creatures, just don't rush to the night."
"That's it..." Green couldn't help but frowned. They didn't encounter the army of undead on the road? It's really strange. Did the undead have no other actions after occupying Yinye Town?
At this moment, the virtuous wolf Herora, who was standing beside him, seemed to see something: "Young man, have you encountered the undead?"
Green thought for a while and said, "Because I met a group of undead in Silver Leaf Town."
The expression on Herora's face condensed: "This place is close to the plague land in the north, even if there are occasional corpses or undeads, it is not worth being surprised. Since you said you have encountered a "group of" undeads, then... there are many undeads in Silver Leaf Town?"
"Your wisdom is amazing." Green nodded, "You are right. I have encountered many undeads. To be precise, all the residents of the entire town have become undeads!"
Herola's face changed: "The Undead Natural Disaster?"
A single or a small number of undeads is not scary, but once the undead reaches a scale, the situation is not completely different. The huge number of undeads is enough to destroy any village or town. And whenever a biological settlement is destroyed, it means that the undead will become more and stronger. In the end, the undead army will crush one town after another like a snowball! Therefore, people call the undead army that is enough to destroy the town "the natural disaster of undead".
"This is impossible!" Lorentz suddenly shouted, "We didn't hear any wind along the way. If there were indeed natural disasters in Silver Leaf Town, it would be impossible for the nobles and the church to be without any action!"
Green raised his eyebrows, ignored Lorentz's shouting, picked up a wooden stick and drew a simple map on the ground: "Ms. Girora, can you tell me which route you got here?"
Gerrola looked at the map, then picked up a branch and drew it on the map: "We and our companions set out from Port Kapoor, cross the ancient city and the Dawendy Forest, and then follow the Otland Mountains all the way here."
"Hey! Girola!" Lorentz seemed a little dissatisfied with his wife's exposure of her business route.
"Lorentz, be careful." Herola turned around and blinked at his companion.
Looking at the route Herola drew, Green couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face: "Is this route...is it for tax evasion?"
"Young man, that's a slander." Herola laughed playfully, "We just accidentally deviated from the main road and got lost."
"So that's it." Green stared at the route on the ground, "No wonder you didn't encounter undead along the way."
Maybe I can choose to take this path, too? Green squinted his eyes and thought.
With Green's current strength, he is not afraid of ordinary undeads, but it is still very dangerous if he encounters an army of undeads! If he walks this path, he basically doesn't have to worry about encountering an army of undeads.
Just as Green was thinking seriously, Herola suddenly spoke, "By the way, you should have a lot of spoils, right? Should you consider selling us the spoils in your hands?"
"Oh?" Green couldn't help but brow, "How do you know we have a lot of spoils in our hands?"
"No one has ever discovered a hidden cave here before. In addition, there are obvious traces of flames and a unique rotten smell of the undead. You and this lady have obviously experienced a very tragic battle... It seems that there should be many undead creatures in this cave. Since you have eliminated the undead creatures in the cave, you must have obtained a lot of spoils, right?"
A glimmer flashed in Green's eyes: "It's worthy of being Herora, and his perception attributes are indeed high enough."
"Sense?" Herola was slightly stunned, "Hahaha~ I'm just rich in experience. How about it? Are you interested in giving us the spoils you don't want to deal with?"
"Shaqiya, these two merchants are interested in purchasing our trophy." Green secretly communicated with Shaqiya through spiritual contact.
"You are the one who decides everything." With outsiders here, Shaqiya became very quiet and elegant. She knelt straight behind Green, motionless, looking like a cold lady, and at the same time, she was like a maid serving the master, giving people a sense of nobility, elegance and respect, that is, her clothes and temperament were somewhat incompatible.
After asking Shaqiya for her opinion, Green lowered his head and thought.
If you can hand over the uncarried magic iron ore in the tunnel to them, Green can save a lot of trouble - in fact, Green originally planned to take away the fine gold mines, but Green was not going to take them back, after all, those magic iron ore are not light. The fairy wolf Herora has a good reputation in the game, so you don’t have to worry about “black eating black” when handing over the goods to them. But the problem is that there are not only a batch of magic iron ore, but also a magic circle!
Compared with the teleportation magic circle leading to the Witch Dungeon, those ores are simply irrelevant!
Green didn't want to expose the existence of the teleportation magic array, but if he refused, it might arouse their suspicion. Maybe they would go to the tunnel to check after I left. Instead of doing this, I might as well take the initiative to take them in...
Green narrowed his eyes, and he was already thinking: "Yes. Selling the spoils to you can save me a lot of effort, and I really have no reason to refuse." Green stood up and took out a burning wooden stick from the bonfire as a torch, "Come with me, I'll take you to see the spoils."
