"I have already raised my opinion of you, but I didn't expect you to still impress me. Downton, what secret is hidden in you?" Melissa looked at Downton's back, licked her lips excitedly, and said
Like a beautiful snake that has found delicious prey.
Downton did not find Charlotte in her room. After asking the waiter, he learned that she had been treating injured orcs all day.
"Can I come in?" Downton asked after knocking on the door.
"Come in, I'm just going to discuss something with you." Charlotte sat beside the bed and released natural healing for a female werewolf.
"thank you!"
Seeing Downton come in, the other orcs in the room quickly stood up and thanked them, except for a few young people, whose eyes were full of hatred. They felt that Downton was a fake good guy, and he must have ulterior motives for saving them.
"If you need anything, just ask, don't treat me like an outsider." Although Downton is not a racist, he is not a good person enough to save these orc slaves. If it were not for Charlotte, he would not bother to care about them.
An adult tauren was obviously the leader. He glared at the few exceptions and said he didn't dare to trouble Downton.
"Downton, I'm leaving and taking them back home!" Charlotte apologized, "I can't cause you any more trouble. The slave owner will definitely send someone to catch them."
Downton's heart suddenly tightened, he didn't want to be separated from Xia Luo.
"Go clean it up!" Xia Luo ordered. As a shaman priest, any clergy has a high status in the hearts of simple orcs.
The orcs bowed their heads and left.
"Wait." Downton stopped them. He had to think of a way. If Charlotte was allowed to leave, he didn't know when the next meeting would be.
"You really have an ulterior motive." A young man accused.
"Shut up!" the leader scolded his subordinates, even slapping him with his big hand. "Is this your attitude towards your benefactor? Apologize to him quickly!"
"I'm sorry." Charlotte apologized and sighed. How could humans and orcs coexist? This is reality.
"I'm not stingy enough to care about this kind of thing." If it had been normal, Downton would have started to repair the young tauren, but this time he wished that the other party would scold him more harshly. Only then would Xia Luo feel guilty.
You will feel that you owe yourself a favor, and then you will remember yourself.
"I won't let you leave for your own good." Downton racked his brains to find a reason, "If I remember correctly, the person who sold you that day was a Bear Bear."
The Tauren's expressions turned gloomy. They were vassals of the Bear Clan. According to the laws of the Orc Empire, they were the property of the Bear Clan leader. And the Bear Clan was the son of the Clan Leader.
"I believe that even if you return to the tribe, you will have no place to stay. Do you want to be sold again?" Downton revealed the scars on their hearts.
"Hey, what can we do?" The leader squatted on the ground, grabbing his hair in distress. In the human country, they were slaves, and if they went back, they might still have a chance of survival.
"Ever heard of Balak the Minotaur?"
The Tauren didn't understand why Downton changed the topic, but they still knew about Barak's reputation.
"I heard. Before we were sold as slaves, we saw him bringing a caravan to the tribe to purchase herbs and monster blood."
"Their tribe should be the best among the tauren. I heard that it's all because of Balak's work."
"He is now the number one businessman among us orcs. Last time he brought back tens of millions worth of daily necessities."
"It is said that his success was all due to his meeting a human named Downton."
When the tauren said this, he was suddenly stunned. If I remembered correctly, the shaman seemed to have said that the man in front of him was also named Downton.
"Who are you?" The leader looked at Downton in surprise and used honorifics.
"I am Downton from Morning Mist Town, Barak's best friend. The employer who paid him 30 million gold coins." Downton smiled, "This cannot be fake. You can find out just by asking around."
"What advice do you have?" the leader asked.
"Anyway, you will end up being sold again when you go back. How about settling down in Morning Mist Town?" Downton suggested, which immediately aroused noisy discussion.
"Impossible, not to mention the town, even the nearby places, humans will not allow us to live." The leader shook his head. For thousands of years, the hostility between orcs and humans has never weakened.
"Stop arguing and listen to what he has to say." Xia Luo stopped everyone.
"I am about to become the mayor of Morning Mist Town. You can declare to the outside world that you are my slaves." Seeing that the orcs were getting excited again, Downton quickly reached out to comfort him, "Of course, I am just claiming to the outside world. In fact, I have nothing to do with you.
."
"This is a good idea. Humans will never dare to touch the mayor's slaves." Some mature orcs shook their heads with regret, "You are too young, how can you become the mayor?"
"You don't need to worry about that." Downton shrugged. He did all this just to keep Charlotte.
The orcs looked at each other, obviously moved, then looked at Xian Lang, clasped his hands together, "Master Shaman, what's your opinion?"
"This human being can be trusted." Charlotte sighed. After getting along with each other for this period of time, she could tell with her intelligence that Downton was a person who had neither good or bad feelings towards orcs. He was obviously helping these tauren.
For yourself.
"It's not worth it!" Xia Luo added in her heart, but she was a little moved. He was really sincere enough to accept and help these orcs for his own sake.
"By the way, I'm here to help you move. I bought a new villa. You can live in it temporarily. When I become the mayor, everyone can return. There are many dilapidated towns on the border. You can pick any one.
live."
Downton said casually, his eyes swept over these orcs, and then he realized that he might have made a wise decision.
Orcs who can be sold as slaves are naturally valuable. Most of them are strong laborers, pretty women, and artists who know some crafts. Downton gathered them and with a little training, he can form a foreign army of orcs.
"They were abandoned by their clan leaders, and I am the only one in the human kingdom who has accepted them. If they don't serve me, who else can they serve?" Downton was like a fox who had successfully stolen grapes. He was very happy in his heart, "As expected, we
Instead of ruining the title of Fox of the West, I didn’t expect that helping Barak on a whim would actually have such collateral benefits!”
Charlotte's religious identity and Barak's actual experience are the basis for these orcs to believe in Downton. Of course, if he makes a mistake in the end, everyone can just return to the tribe.
"Hurry up and pack your bags. Try to finish the move within today. You guys living here are too conspicuous." Downton deliberately exaggerated the racial antagonism to make this group of orcs feel isolated and develop a sense of belonging to themselves.
"I've caused trouble to you again." Xia Luo sighed again. It seemed that she couldn't leave recently.
"Even if you leave, the slave master will not let me go." Downton's language skills were good, and this sentence immediately made the orc feel guilty.
"We have never thought about running away and letting the slave master vent his anger on you." The leader quickly clarified.
"I know." Downton showed a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. But deep down, he was thinking that with the help of these people, more and more people would definitely come to him.
Several young tauren were ashamed that Downton was so kind, but he still doubted that he was really not a human being, so they walked up to him and slapped themselves hard in the face to apologize.
"Stop fighting. You are also thinking about the future of your tribe!" Downton stopped a few young people and became more generous. "By the way, I will provide you with the initial funds to establish the town."
"Why is this so embarrassing?" The leader was truly moved this time.
"I am a holy knight and a member of the clergy, how can I bear to see you suffer?" Downton said solemnly, his posture was too sacred.
"Blow. Blow as hard as you can!" Hearing Downton's words, Homer almost died laughing. You come from a wild background and all your magical powers are obtained from cheap gods. How dare you pretend to be a devout priest?
But Homer has to admit that Downton definitely made a profit on this account. Not to mention the added value of the orcs, just successfully keeping Charlotte was a huge profit. She is a great potion master, not to mention the potions that she knows how to do.
The formula, just giving Downton's teachings, is definitely worth the price of admission.
You must know that if you study with a great potion master, you don’t have to pay hundreds of thousands of tuition fees, so don’t even think about it.
Of course, Downton has considered this, and he knows very well that with Xia Luo's proud character, not to mention that she is not short of money, even if she is short of money, she will never use her own money, so she doesn't have to pay a single coin.
It created a lot of good feelings.
The atmosphere in the room was at its most harmonious, and the orcs' attitude towards Downton changed drastically, and they were extremely humble.
"We will not ask for your funding in vain and will pay it back as soon as possible." The leader promised, "We have some craftsmen here. I and a dozen other tribesmen are blacksmiths and can forge and repair armors for your men."
"Ah, is there something wrong with that Ursine's brain? He even sells blacksmiths?" Downton was stunned. Although he knew that the Orc Empire was no longer the powerful country that swept across the continent, it was really shocking that it had reached such a level.
Already.
In an era of cold weapons like the Western Continent, blacksmiths are always talented people.
"An excellent blacksmith can even sell for a higher price than a beautiful female slave." The leader explained with a gloomy look, "Iron ore is scarce on the Sunset Prairie, so even if we keep it, it will be useless."
In fact, it was not as simple as he said. The leader's forging skills were very high. He and his disciples were sold simply because they failed in the political struggle.
As long as Downton brings the tauren back, he will know that he has made a fortune. The leader's skills are definitely not much worse than Giroud.
Tauren blacksmiths are famous for their simple forging techniques. Because the orcs are short of iron, they have developed a unique skill that can maximize the utilization of iron ore.
"No, we can't wait any longer. I want Barak to go out and bring all the poor vassals to Chenmist Town." Downton put the plan on the agenda, "The orcs are famous for their combat effectiveness in the Western Continent.
It would be such a waste to form a foreign regiment to fight for me." (To be continued...)
