Chapter 2 The Price of Life(1/2)
Li Ke really wants to have another choice.
But after looking at the current situation, he thought about it, but he didn't feel that his existing abilities and capital could not break the deadlock.
The people around him are stronger than him, and he can probably guess why.
Compared with him, the ape man who evolved from a monkey, these Azeroth humans are real Titan creations, life that degenerates from steel machines.
Moreover, the original responsibility of these steel machines is to fight against the people who specialize in fighting against various ancient gods. It is impossible for them to be without sufficient martial ethics.
The only thing he can praise in front of people in this world is his familiarity with the plot and some knowledge of his previous life.
But they won't tell you this.
People only talk about violence.
So the truth is, he has no choice.
"Our business is very simple, buy low and sell high. Some people give us things that they don't need, and we turn over and sell them. This is our business."
When Taros spoke, his face revealed a look of pride that was hard to say and a hint of reluctance.
"So we must have a way and a brain. People with big and thick minds but empty minds cannot do such a job."
He took Li Ke and walked out of the town from a remote path that Li Ke had never seen before.
Li Ke always thought this was a closed hill, but when the other party took him over, Li Ke realized that there was actually a small road in the hill.
He didn't know what to say, so he could only follow them silently.
Not long after leaving, it became dark and the group lit the torches silently. Then Li Ke saw something moving in the grass.
"Damn, wolf cub..."
Taros cursed lowly, and then two apprentices walked out from behind him, rushed into the grass with two hammers. Soon after, a sound of sob came from the grass, and then an aging lone wolf was dragged out of the grass by them.
When the wolf, the size of a motorcycle, was dragged out with his legs, its body was still twitching, but Li Ke knew it was dead.
So far, he hasn't seen a creature that can survive even if his head is smashed.
Looking at the other party's turbid and desperate eyes, Li Ke knew that he had no ability to pity the other party. Although the other party was about to die, he still struggled for a while.
But if I say that, I may not even have the power to struggle.
Seeing those people skillfully peeling and cramping, Li Ke felt that he was actually the same as this wolf, both of them were flesh on other people's chopping boards.
"Okay, I've just been damn lonely wolf, I'm leaving."
Seeing that he was stunning, Taros once again clutched his shoulders and led him forward.
Then there was no accident this time. After walking about an hour, they saw a group of people. There were about twenty or thirty of them, all covering their armor with linen, and most of them didn't want to look up. They just looked at them with a slanted face and did not light up the torch.
Although there was no sign, Li Ke could see the identities of these people from the armor style on them.
The Knight sent by Lordaeron.
Unlike the local nobles, most of these knights from Lordaeron are war-ridden veterans. Their armor has a large number of patterns, which represents one death battle after another.
But what made Li Ke recognize them was their height.
Warriors from Lordaeron are generally taller and stronger than warriors elsewhere, some can even reach about two meters and three meters, and have a burly and strong figure that matches their height.
This allows them to fight with shoulder armor that is nearly two centimeters thick, and full-coverage armor of about one thickness.
Not to mention the fact that one person beats Li Ke now, he is more than enough to beat 100.
Li Ke felt that the apprentices around him were already strong enough, but compared with the people in front of him, they were obviously much worse.
Only Taros can compare with the other party.
As for Li Ke?
It can only be said that this is not a barrier that exercise can break through, but a chasm called the racial divide.
"You guys are too slow."
When he saw Taros, this was the first thing he said to him. Obviously, after taking Li Ke, Taros and the others were indeed slow to move.
"There's no way. I'm going to bring this person here today, so I'm slowing down."
Taros pushed Li Ke while talking, pushing Li Ke staggeringly, causing Li Ke to come to the front of the talking knight involuntarily.
Li Ke was unable to adjust his position in a hurry, so under the illumination of the moonlight and torches, he clearly saw the face of the knight.
A strong middle-aged man with a big beard.
Li Ke had met him. The other party was a member of the Knight of Lordae Road and a logistics officer who was responsible for logistics. Because he had been to the Blacksmith shop and had several dealings with Taros, Li Ke recognized him.
Seeing Li Ke, the man frowned and casually swept Li Ke aside.
Li Ke could see that he was very dissatisfied with his face being seen clearly by Li Ke.
"Stop talking nonsense, check the goods."
He pointed impatiently at the car behind him, Taros whistled, and then pulled Li Ke over.
Before he could uncover a single step, Li Ke's heartbeat suddenly jumped, because the cars were all brand new, still shining with bright armor and sword blades.
All of these armors are fine products - compared to the fine products in this town, they are high-end supplies of Lordaeron's Knights. If ordinary noble families want to buy a set of armor like this, they basically have to take off a layer of skin.
If the little nobles don’t join the army, they don’t even think about it.
As for civilians?
Civilians should not think too much. This kind of full-coverage armor is a prohibited item for civilians. If they do not have official positions or titles, it is illegal to hold it.
Because this thing is not as convenient to move as ordinary plate armor, you can even perform backflips without restrictions when wearing this armor!
Beheading business!
This was the first thing Li Ke thought of, but Taros, who was tightly holding him, did not let him go. Instead, he used the convenience of holding Li Ke to hold Li Ke and pressed him against Li Ke's left chest with a dagger.
"Look at how these things are."
Li Ke had no choice but to start checking these armors.
I don't have to worry about the weapons, someone has already checked them.
But after Li Ke looked through the armor, his heart became colder and colder as he looked at it.
The armor is intact. Although each of them has traces of the snaps being cut off, it does not affect the use. Even if you don’t find a special blacksmith, you can repair it as long as you find a skilled blacksmith.
The most nonsense is the armor behind you, and even things like snaps are too lazy to cut them off, but they just get a few scratches and it's over.
Taros clearly saw this, and he sneered and let go of Li Ke.
The last few cars were no longer armor, but some gems and exquisite objects. Li Keka couldn't quite understand the shape and meaning of these things, but he could also roughly guess what kind of rituals these should be.
Because among these things, there are one or two crystal balls and books.
Taros was not interested in these things. He just flipped it around for a few random times, then took a photo of Li Ke and pointed at the military officer.
"You keep watching."
He said this completely nonsense, because Li Ke didn't understand the words of this world at all. The reason why he said this was entirely because of the spell of the lord mage.
Taros and the quarrel stood together and kept discussing something, but Li Ke couldn't hear it because their conversation was very low.
But obviously, their discussion was not pleasant, because their voices quickly rose.
"What I want to say is that you have crossed the line, idiot! The price of things is so high. Who do you think we are working for? You don't have much experience at first glance. Don't think of this life as simple as it is!"
His fingers suddenly poked the quarantine officer's dirty armor. Taros was very unceremonious and sprayed his spit at the bearded quarantine officer.
The other party held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his face was covered with the fatigue and dust stained with the war, so when someone pointed at his chest and scolded him, he was quite impatient.
To be honest, Li Ke really felt frightened, he was really afraid that they would be silenced.
Because even if he did not recognize the words of this world, he would be very clear. As for the current situation, according to Lordaeron's law, everyone present would be sentenced to death.
Generally, it is hanged, and the lightest one is sentenced to exile or go to the guillotine.
So if the agreement cannot be reached, I can only pray that the other party will worry about the person behind Taros.
Otherwise, Li Ke would not guarantee whether these people would...
"Silence!"
Taros laughed out loud in an exaggerated way, and then continued to spray his spit.
"I really hope you know what you are saying, my sir, do you think you can be safe and sound after you kill us? Of course, you certainly don't care about the threat of mud legs like me, but you will definitely know that after you kill me here, you will definitely not get what you want."
While saying that, Taros photographed his own money bag, making the money inside make a crisp sound.
The knight with a lot of wind and frost on his face slapped.
It is not easy for Lordaeron to live in.
This is not a joke, but a fact.
Whether it is daily life, maintaining the dignity of a noble, or maintaining and manufacturing the equipment of oneself and his family, it is not a simple job.
So he needs this money very much, and many people need it.
What are you fighting for? Not for money and status?
