020 The Harpy and the Merchant Tom

The adventurers left the shadows under the stone, this time Victor walked in front, and he would lead them to the group of monsters he found

There are many humanoid races with wings on Feiron, such as dragon descendants, eagles, wings, habi, and some demons, little devils, thorn demons, etc.

All kinds of gay people, bird people, dragon people, demon people... can all be humanoid creatures with wings

Anyway, the Torrell world does not seem to have a setting for reproductive isolation. As long as you have a certain winged protozoa bloodline, everyone may give birth to wings...

For example, the Dragon Vein Warlock can also grow wings after the blood vessel awakens to a certain level.

Therefore, through Victor's appearance outline description, adventurers cannot directly determine the race of the group of winged monsters

But when he says that the group of things are forcing some undescribable behavior on someone

Everyone can react, that is a group of harpy, namely Harpy, and is also called bird demons in some places

The harp is a mixed creature with a vulture body, feet and wings, as well as human torso, limbs and heads. The vicious claws and bone rods make it a terrible threat in battle, and its eyes also reflect the absolute evil of its soul.

There are many sayings and multiple versions of the story about the origin of this monster. Some say it was transformed by the fallen elves, some say it was a cursed human woman, but each one is related to the gods.

"So after the mages compare the anatomical comparison, they think they are more likely to be some kind of cursed elves?"

Victor listened to the information about the sorcerer and his "scientific" harem. He had probably learned about the setting of this monster in his previous life, but he had forgotten it almost - he only remembered reading some curiosity books related to it...

"It's just that the fetal brain structure is closer to the elves, but they are distorted by some kind of force since they are born."

The sorcerer Shatara said calmly:

"I just read the relevant content in a book in Candle Castle. It was an experimental essay by a high-level wizard specializing in the Necrotic School. Perhaps it was just his personal opinion.

But he summarized the habits of the harp very accurately, and our team can prove it - we have dealt with this kind of monster more than once."

The harp is a creature without males and can only rely on capturing other humanoid male creatures to "breed on the scriptures" - this reminds Victor of the "Goblin Killer" setting

The goblins in "Brother Kill" have no females, so they can only rely on arresting females from other races to "breed on their birth"

In fact, there is also a similar human group in Feilun, which is the Amazon female warrior mentioned above.

On some tropical islands in the Sea of ​​Traces, there are indeed certain Amazon tribes led by women, and they are said to have also established an Amazon kingdom.

That kingdom has now disappeared into history... Few people know the reason for the disappearance of the Amazon kingdom. The mages speculate that it may be related to the moody goddess Ambori...

Because Victor had sensed through his domineeringness that the group of harps stopped invading that person's relationship - after satisfying his desires, the group of bird demons just tied him aside, and his situation would not get worse in a short time.

So everyone was not in a hurry to rescue

It is the afternoon, the sun has deflected and the sun is no longer piping people. However, after a morning of exposure, the cliffs by the sea became hot. Now it is much more difficult to climb on it than in the morning

"Just below, there is a cave on the cliff below, with eight bird monsters and a human being."

At this distance, Victor could already "see" the specific situation of the victim. He was a middle-aged man with a little bald hair and was quite strong, but now his condition seems to be not very good.

"Huh, the stones here are hotter than Al's roasting pot"

At this time, Duosuo had already investigated. He nodded after the pilgrimage warrior and said in a playful tone:

"It's indeed a nest of harps and a human. Oh, the situation inside is really terrible, but guess who that human is? You know it, and we've also made deals with him!"

Halfling waited for a while and found that even Tiya, who was most likely to give him a favor, did not respond to him. He could only say the rest together.

"It's bald old Tom, the profiteer in Black Deer City. He was stripped of clothes and tied to a stone pillar, haha! It's like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered!"

Tom was the merchant they met in Black Deer City. When he met, he was selling several magical objects, including the [Silent Incense Burner] used by the adventurers before.

However, his price was too high. John and the others did not buy this incense burner when they were in Black Deer City.

Until he met the down-and-out old Tom again in Mist Town, he turned into a magical creature in Black Deer City to save money, so he bought a large amount of local goods and planned to transport them to Mist Town for a gamble.

Unfortunately, some procedures seemed to be missing before going to sea. His ship unfortunately encountered the Shahua fish robber. Only Tom came to Nanzha Road Port under the protection of two guards. His goods and treasures were almost lost, and the two guards also abandoned him at Nanzha Road Port.

No matter how Tom tried to keep or even threaten, the two savage guards had already fulfilled their agreement, and Tom could not afford the next price to hire them.

Old Tom could only find a way to run from Nanzhalu Port to Mist Town - he still did not give up his dream of getting rich. During that time, too many Black Deer Port merchants got rich overnight because of a "Elf Country Tour" brought back a large number of precious elves crafts.

Looking at his former opponent and even his past ridiculed down-and-out object soaring, this deeply stimulated him

Even if he had nothing, he would have to reach Misty Town. That was the only belief that supported him at that time.

However, after arriving at Mist Town, he found that almost all channels of transactions with elves had been monopolized by several merchants. He had lost almost all his wealth and could only watch them make huge profits, but he could not do anything

He was completely disappointed and had to sell only two magical objects left to get the fee to return to Heilu City.

However, his old opponents did not intend to give him a chance to make a comeback. Although Misty Town is the elves' territory, they dare not make a desperate move in public. Eighty percent of the human shops in Misty are the minions of those big merchants. They have a hundred ways to fiddle with this newcomer

One of his magical objects was stolen by a thief, and this [Quiet Incense Burner] was accused of being a counterfeit product - he couldn't prove his efficacy, and the only two stores selling magical spices in Mist Town were "out of stock"

Although some people can see the magical inspiration on the incense burner, the only two appraisers in the town are unwilling to appraise him for free, even if he is willing to mortgage the incense burner - it is a farce

Selling counterfeit and shoddy products violates the rules set by the elves. He will face the punishment of depriving his property and expelling him from the fog forest. Beyond the fog forest is the Chult jungle, which is full of dinosaurs and other vicious primitive creatures. Only Tom, who has the strength of a low-level thief, is in that jungle, and only death is waiting for him.

As the Elf Guard prepares to declare Tom's fate, the passing paladin takes his teammates justice from heaven. They prove the effect of the incense burner and buy it for money

In John's [Sacred Teller] intuition, Old Tom is definitely not considered evil. Instead, some of them represent good inspirations. Buy low and sell high, and bargaining is just the job of a merchant.

However, the big businessmen who were watching the show around him were full of evil spirits.

As for the story behind, of course, the Paladin investigated several conspiracies of monopolistic merchants and revealed that they were the identity of a certain blasphemous priesthood corps and had the mission of corrupting the Mist Town...

Under the revelation of the paladins, the elves re-formed their trade rules, and the town became more open and prosperous as a result...

This happened seven months ago

After listening to the stories between Tiya and Doso, Victor's comment was: There are so many intestines!

Surviving in this world may require more thinking?

Of course, the next thing the adventure team should consider is how to save him
