Chapter 22: New Employees of the Chamber of Commerce
Liu Xiao looked at the source of the sound with an expression of indifference and expectation.
There, Rosa, who was carrying a satchel with a slightly red face, was trying her best to wave to him.
Behind this one-horned beauty, there were three male half-orcs with wary faces and eyes full of confusion and fear.
Their appearance is eighty-nine times similar to humans.
Two of these three orcs are young and one is old. The old one has two round ears on his head, his face is more like a leopard, he has a wooden stick in his hand, and his back is rickety. He seems to be very old.
The two young men were wrapped in animal skins on their lower bodies and naked on their upper bodies, depicting complex totems in blue and black.
They held spears in their hands and carried bows and arrows on their backs. They were looking around at all the new things they had never seen before. They didn't know what they were thinking about at this moment.
"Rosa~~You're back~! Who are these?"
Liu Xiao raised his hand and touched Rosa's head, then cast his gaze behind her.
Liu Xiao's intimate behavior made one of the male half-orcs look quite bad. But at this moment, Liu Xiao's people were surrounding him, and it was inconvenient for him to have an attack, so he could only endure it.
Rosa calmed down her excitement, turned around and introduced: "Master! This is the leader of our jungle orcs, Lord Moses! He is also the high priest of our orcs! These two are the warriors of the younger generation of orcs, Ka
To and Kathu.”
Liu Xiao nodded and signaled to the clan leader, but ignored the other two young orcs who glared at him.
"High Priest Moses, welcome~! My name is Liu Xiao. I believe Rosa has already introduced you. I am also the president of the Riot Chamber of Commerce. I am the messenger of the Almighty Creator in the world, the guardian of 996, and the guardian of all hope.
The founder of. Haha~ If you are willing, you can follow my employees and call me boss. Come~ let’s sit down and chat.”
Liu Xiao mentioned his long list of names to bluff people.
Sure enough, after he told all the titles he had made up, the half-orc high priest named Moses showed unconcealable shock in his cloudy eyes.
"Hello, boss...please forgive our caution...the jungle orcs really can't go through any more suffering. But the three of us plus Rosa can definitely represent the only remaining jungle orcs."
After introducing the guests into Abu's cabin, Liu Xiao asked someone to bring some water and food.
"Chief Moses, you are a guest~~ Let's drink some water and eat something before it's too late."
Moses looked at the water and bread in front of him, and his old-man-like palms began to tremble uncontrollably.
He picked up a piece of bread and stared at it, rubbing it, as if admiring the most precious treasure.
Liu Xiao put away the smile on his face when he saw this scene. He didn't know what kind of difficult environment Rosa and other jungle orc tribes usually lived in, but at this moment, when they faced food, they showed such a difficult environment.
A sense of cherishment is enough to prove something.
"Chief Moses, if you come to me and accept my entrustment, you are one of your own. I will provide necessary food, clean water, and temporary shelter for my orc friends.
Of course, if you want to live in a comfortable house faster, you have to work hard, just like everyone here.
I believe you have also seen that here we have humans, dwarves, goblins, Cyclops, and even undead. Although our races and skin colors are different, everyone here has the same goal. We long for the future. We
Get rid of hunger and create value!
Here I very sincerely hope to reach a cooperation intention with the Jungle Orcs, which will be a win-win result and beneficial to all of us~!"
The old patriarch Moses chewed the bread for a while, but did not even taste it.
He put the slices of bread on the plate in front of him again, looked at Liu Xiao and said solemnly: "When Rosa told us the news before, almost all the tribesmen had an attitude of disbelief... because the orcs have been subjected to such attacks over the years.
We have endured too many attacks and suffered too much...! Even if the opportunity is right in front of us, we still can't believe it... It's like a dream..."
The old patriarch paused after saying this, and then got to the point, "So, Mr. Boss, what exactly do you want to hire us for? What price do we need to pay? Will all of us orcs become your slaves?"
"
This issue is the core issue that all jungle orcs are most concerned about, because they have seen the shameful pattern of slaves appearing on Rosa, the orc saint.
Once you are given that kind of brand, you can't get rid of it for almost your whole life, and you can only become a cow and horse at the mercy of others!
Although the jungle orcs now barely have enough food and clothing to satisfy them, the pride and self-esteem hidden in their hearts still do not allow them to accept this result. Even if the other party will provide enough food.
Liu Xiao did not expect that the other party was most concerned about this issue. He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Chief Moses~! Signing the slave contract with Rosa was a complete accident.
As you can see, all the employees in our chamber of commerce and the camp are voluntary. None of them has signed a slave contract with me. At most, they must abide by the rules and regulations of the chamber of commerce. As long as the half-orc friends can abide by the rules.
, I believe we can all get along very happily~!"
"So what you're saying is that we don't need to be slaves in exchange for food and water?"
Liu Xiao nodded again, confirming what the orc leader said.
Patriarch Moses looked a little relaxed. He turned around and exchanged glances with the two young orcs who accompanied him, and then glanced at Rosa, who was standing next to Liu Xiao.
The half-saint of the beast race who had become someone else's slave nodded heavily, allowing their clan leader to dispel his last remaining concerns.
In fact, they really have no choice. If they don't choose to cooperate with Liu Xiao, they will only have two endings, either they will starve to death, or they will be captured and become playthings by those unscrupulous businessmen and nobles.
Obviously, neither of these endings is what the orcs want.
And now Liu Xiao's appearance is like a life-saving straw, they must grasp it! After all, the benefits that the latter brings to them are visible to the naked eye.
The orc leader Moses, who no longer had any worries, lowered his head solemnly and saluted Liu Xiao: "Mr. Boss, on behalf of the entire jungle orc tribe, I, Moses, bow to you, obey your orders, and am willing to abide by your rules...
At the same time, we will offer our loyalty and courage!
Mr. Boss, the point of the sword is the direction in which our jungle orcs are attacking! We have no other skills, we are only good at fighting! Please, Mr. Boss, don’t dislike it, just drive us!”
Liu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly helped the old orc up.
He smiled and said: "Okay, okay~~~Since we have agreed, then everyone is our own~! Chief Moses, you can move all the orcs to near our camp and re-establish a settlement! It will also be convenient for everyone.
Connect emotionally.
In addition, I believe Rosa has told you the reason why I hired the jungle orcs. I will bring some weapons and clothes tomorrow. Everyone has enough to eat and drink tonight and recharge your batteries! The threats in the mine must be eliminated as soon as possible.
That way we, the Riot Chamber of Commerce, can build camps in the valley without any scruples!"
"Yes, boss...your will is our will! I will go back and move the people here right now."
