V2.Chapter 88

Three thousand miles south of Northland!

This is a loess high-slope area, and it used to be a lush forest. However, since the human kingdom began to develop towards this side, a large number of trees were cut down, so that serious soil erosion occurred. "The consequences of this soil erosion directly caused the emergence of a Yellow River, but in this world it is not called the Yellow River, but the Nile Dona River. This is the language of the Escindarians, the descendants of humans during the Arcane Empire, who can live to be over a hundred and twenty years old, and the name means 'turbid river'.

From the south of the Nile Dona River, there are scattered villages and towns. These are the gathering places of human beings. They have been cutting down the trees here three hundred years ago. All the way to Mirkwood, the number of trees is reduced by a minimum of one-third. These trees are just like the Han people in the Central Plains. For various reasons, the forests in the upper reaches of the Yellow River were cut down, and then the soil erosion was completely uncontrollable.

For this matter, the Druid Order can be said to be quite dissatisfied!

The two sides also had violent conflicts because of this, but because there was no powerful Druid organization in this area, and there was another very special existence, the result was nothing in the end. However, after the soil erosion became more obvious, human beings also began to notice some problems and restrained the logging and development in the past. The germination of industry was almost born here, but it was eventually suppressed by various forces at the beginning stage.

at this time.

Near the edge of the Lost Forest, a slender figure is advancing at a high speed. She is wearing a delicate leather armor and has a special emblem on her chest. This is a silver moonwalker. She seems to have been on her way for a long time. When she saw a thick cloud of smoke in front of her, she couldn't help but quicken her pace. He rushed towards the place where the smoke was rising. A village appeared in front of it, but it was a very eerily dead silence, and there was no sign of roosters and dogs barking.

A loud eagle chirped sounded.

Immediately afterwards, an eagle flew down from the sky, and in a moment it turned into a middle-aged druid with thick hair. He glanced at the Silver Moonwalker next to him, and said solemnly: "There is no one else nearby! I don't know why the Druid Council suddenly sent us here to investigate, is there something more important happening here?"

Silver Moonwalker's expression was serious, and he whispered: "Listen! There is no movement, there are almost no living people here!"

The two moved towards the village.

The village in front of me has been almost destroyed, and there are traces of burning everywhere. There are many corpses on the ground. Silver Moonwalker leaned over and looked at a few corpses, and then said solemnly: "It's not the robber! The property of these people has not been taken away. It seems that the reason for their death is a bit strange!"

"Over there!" The middle-aged Druid closed his eyes and felt it, and then quickly approached in one direction.

Silver Moonwalker quickly followed, and as they passed through a burned-out house, everything in front of them made their faces turn blue. Because they saw a lot of corpses, men, women and children, women and children, there were many traces of firewood burning nearby, and there was a corpse in the center that was almost burned to coke. There were a lot of messy footprints on the ground, and it seemed like too much had happened before it all happened.

"The Fallen?"

The middle-aged Druid looked around, turned to look at Silver Moonwalker, and asked, "Or is there some other evil?"

The Silver Moonwalker had a serious expression. She picked up a small piece of dark red skin-like debris from the ground and looked at it, then said condensedly, "It's the devil!!!"

"Walk!"

"We must report to Parliament immediately, there is a devil here."

"Damn!"

"How did the devil in Bato's purgatory escape?!"

………………

Eastern route.

The half-elf chief mate stuck out his tongue and licked the blood on his arm, just now he was attacked and slashed. But the injury is not serious, as a pirate he is used to injury. Next to him, his subordinates were bandaging him, and some vicious pirates were kicking and beating the captives who surrendered. Mainly some non-combat crews.

"How about the casualties?"

The half-elf first mate had the bandage tied in a knot, then stood up and said, "How many died? How many were injured? Have all the enemies been cleaned up?"

A shrewd-looking pirate ran over, bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency Chief Officer. Thirty-two people died and about fifty or sixty people were injured. All the resisting enemies were killed, and there were still people under the cabin. I wanted to resist, but we also killed it. Everything is sealed under the cabin, we know the rules of Your Excellency Cutthroat, and we guarantee that no one will sneak in."

"Yeah." The half-elf first mate nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Don't move the things below, and you will naturally have your reward when you return to Taro Harbor."

He stood up and walked under the hold of the slave ship.

Those belongings were nothing at all. Naturally, there were other ways to make money. What really caught his attention was the batch of slave craftsmen who had been escorted from the east. The task that Lord Sauron explained was the most important. The half-elf first mate quickly brought his hands to the bottom of the cabin. Most of the slaves detained in it were of oriental race. They looked a bit like a desert race, but their skin was a little yellower and their outlines were not like this one. The race is so distinct, the lines of the face are softer.

"Who are the craftsmen with craftsmanship?"

The half-elf first mate looked at the fifty or sixty slaves detained in front of him. The Eastern Route trade would not transport those cheap goods, so the quality of the slaves in front of him was relatively high.

A clever guy next to him hurriedly came over and replied: "There are more than 30 craftsmen here, and all the more than 10 things over there are oriental gladiators. They will be sent to the city of wealth and sold to In the underground arena around the south coast, all these slaves are quite valuable."

Gladiator?

There was a hint of interest on the half-elf first mate's face. He walked up to an oriental gladiator and looked at the strong man in front of him. This man's muscles were not very strong, not as exaggerated as many warriors here. But his muscle line has a sense of strength and fluidity. It is said that the eastern gladiators are more agile, and some have received training from the eastern monks. It seems that the rumors are true. [Remarks: Many Eastern warriors have a monk level of one or two part-time jobs, and their training methods have the tradition of monks. 】

"Take it all back."

The half-elf chief mate glanced at the shackles on the opponent's hand, and said, "These people seem to be useful. Your Majesty Cutthroat is in need of manpower, and they may be of use."

"what?"

He glanced at the innermost part of the cabin, then walked over cautiously, and asked, "What's in the cage over there? Why is there no sound at all? Is it empty?"

Someone next to him immediately brought a torch.

As the light came over, the creatures in the dark cages also appeared in front of them, and many people couldn't help but marvel, and then someone suddenly realized: "This is? This is the beast of the East. ?"

A little girl appeared before them.

A very small girl, at most six or seven years old, she was wearing a dress with broken lace, and her small face was a little sagging, but she could see her big eyes and fair skin. This is not the most amazing point, but more surprising are her ears, which are furry like cat ears, and a small cat tail sticking out from her buttocks.

"Beastman?"

The half-elf first mate also looked at it in surprise, and then murmured: "It seems to be the legendary Catwoman? I thought this lycanthropy was extinct! I can't believe that one can still be found in the East!"

呲!

Facing a group of hideous-looking pirates, the little girl in front of her seemed to be a little scared, but the courage in her heart made her bark at these people, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, which seemed to be somewhat Wild untamed look. The lycanthropy has been greatly reduced since the Arcane Empire period and is now very rare. The specific reason for their appearance is hard to say, but the legend is related to something taboo.

After all, the Great Arcanists always wanted to get their hands on the realm of the gods, including the part that created life.

The half-elf first mate looked at her curiously, and then ordered to the left and right: "Don't hurt her, this catwoman looks quite rare, take it back to the eldest as a gift."

The eldest lady in his mouth.

Naturally, it was Vivian, but in fact it was mainly referring to Lillian, because only Lillian would occasionally turn around their command.

Now among Sauron's core subordinates, who doesn't know that Vivian is the baby bump in Sauron's heart.

Not to mention that Vivian's own strength is somewhat unfathomable to them!

………………

The half-elf first mate quickly came out.

There were already several people waiting outside. One of them wore single-frame glasses and looked a little gentle, not like a pirate but more like a middle-aged man from a chamber of commerce shopkeeper who walked over, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Your Excellency Chief Mate. There are three ships on board. The goods have been counted. There are a total of 26 boxes of porcelain, 21 boxes of tea bricks, about 12 boxes of other pepper spices, etc., and some rare silk fabrics. The total value is probably more than 50,000 pieces of gold. Dele, if it can be sold to those local nobles, the value is estimated to increase by 50%!"

Hear these words.

The half-elf first mate was stunned for a while, and then murmured: "So much!? So valuable?!"

He felt something was wrong.

Because the things on these three ships seem to be of high value! And it is also the most expensive and valuable cargo on the Eastern route!
