"Who are you? What tribe are you from?" After the city walls of the Changhe Tribe were built, Bai arranged for special orc warriors to guard the city gates. Without orders from their superiors, they generally would not bother with people entering and leaving the city. But when they see foreigners with obvious differences in clothing, they will also take the initiative to ask.

Among the group, a beautiful orc female came out and replied in the natural language of orcs: "We are travelers, from a tribe in the far south. We heard that the Changhe tribe is very prosperous, so we want to come and see it."

The orc who asked Warrior Hu Dudu is the leader of this team of defenders. He used to be a company commander of the legion, and he was in charge of one or two hundred people. The fox beast orc, he was able to slowly climb up to the position of company commander, relying entirely on his brain and a pair of vicious eyes, if he hadn't been injured in a battle later, he might have been promoted to a higher level. At that time, he was injured in his foot, and he walked with a limp, and he couldn't run fast. He was already disheartened, and planned to use the disability pension to buy some slaves to open up wasteland and farm to become a small landlord. Don't dislike his female, and then give birth to a litter of cubs, this is almost the end of his life. Unexpectedly, the leader sent him to guard the city gate, and Hududu felt that he had found the meaning of life again.

He cherishes this job very much, even though this job is no different from old-age care in the eyes of most soldiers, but Hududu doesn't think so, he feels that he is guarding the safety of the entire capital, and any suspicious guy can't be put in the city casually !

The Changhe tribe has developed very rapidly in the past few years. Since the capital was built, with the further deepening of trade, a steady stream of mainland travelers have come to the tribe every year.

Hu Dudu has been in charge of guarding the city gate for more than two years, and he has developed a pair of piercing eyes. He intuitively feels that the background of the four men in front of him is not simple. Probably from a super tribe, and their status in the tribe is not low.

In the past two or three years, in addition to the two big tribes of the Great Lakes and Chao tribes, there have also been several groups of travelers from the super tribes. These guys still look high above the city with their nostrils upturned, and when they enter the city...their eyes are no different from those from a small remote tribe. He also had the cheek to use exchange and study as an excuse, and wanted to go to school for free to study and go to school.

They want to pay tuition fees after free board and lodging, they are so beautiful! snort!

Many great witch bloodlines and their orc guards left the Changhe Tribe regrettably after spending all their valuables.

There were also people with great witch blood who didn't want to leave the Changhe tribe just like that, and they didn't want to abandon their original tribe and join Changhe. In the end, Lord Wu Nuo helped them think of a compromise—signing an employment agreement. These great witch bloodlines temporarily become members of the Changhe Tribe through employment, and can go to school to study, but during this period, they also need to use their bloodline power to help the Changhe Tribe to help the sick and injured. Their orc guards They need to dig wasteland and hand over a certain amount of food to the tribe every year. When they leave, the wasteland and houses built by the orc guards will be unconditionally taken back by the tribe.

The employment agreement is signed for more than ten years, and those who are willing to sign the agreement to stay are mostly people of great witch blood under the age of 20. After all, for the vast majority of indigenous people in this world, over 45 years old, they have already entered the elderly ranks. For those of great witch blood who are over 30 years old, what is the difference between staying in the Long River Tribe for more than 10 years and directly joining the Long River Tribe?

They don't accept employment from the Changhe Tribe, but after they return to the tribe, they can let younger witches come to the Changhe Tribe to study, right?

However, these great witch bloodlines who thought they were smart could never have imagined the earth-shaking changes that would take place in ten years. It has only been five years since the first great witch bloodlined person signed an employment agreement to stay in the Changhe tribe. Half of the great witch bloodlined people and their guardian orcs have given up the original agreement and finally chose to join the Changhe tribe. Become a member of the long river.

Hududu's eyes were vicious, and he recognized the shortest person in the group as a person with the blood of a great witch, and the other four were beast-level orcs. If these people stayed in the Changhe Tribe...

Hududu's eyes Turning around, he said with a smile, "It turns out that we are guests from afar, welcome."

Most of the natives in this world lack language, and Hu Dudu's polite words were spoken in the natural language of orcs, which Basha and the others heard. It felt very pleasant to the ear, and even Barr, who was very bad at hiding his emotions, seemed to have a much softer expression on his face at this moment.

"Qu Da, take the guests to the inn to settle down."

An unusually tall orc with a menacing aura suddenly asked curiously, "What is an inn?"

Hu Dudu explained with a smile: " The great witch of our tribe traveled to many tribes in the mainland when he was young, made many friends, and received a lot of help and warm hospitality from his friends. In order to thank those who helped him, all the bloodlines of the great witch and His guardian orcs can stay in the inn of the Changhe Tribe for free for a period of time. Specifically, the Dog Conference will tell you."

In fact, in most non-cannibal tribes, those with the blood of the Great Witch who travel outside will receive different degrees of hospitality , not only the Changhe Tribe would do this. But Hu Dudu's flattering remarks obviously made Basha and his party feel a little bit more fond of the Changhe Tribe.

The big dog is not tall (compared to other orcs), but his face is very honest and loyal, which makes people feel very reliable at first glance, but in fact, he is second only to Hu Dudu in the degree of cunning among the city gate guards. Yes, many outsiders were caught by him without knowing it.

Basha and his party hurriedly bowed to Hududu, then followed Quanda into Changhe City.

Basha and the others have long heard people talk about the wealth of Changhe City, but they don't take it seriously. No matter how rich a tribe is, can it be richer than them... Yancheng?

Relying on the sale of crude salt every year, many tribes will send a steady stream of clam pearls, grain, livestock, slaves, and various rare trade items to Yancheng. In addition, Yancheng has hundreds of vassal tribes, not counting slaves, the number of residents alone is as many as hundreds of thousands.

They don't know the farther places, but in the area they know and have traveled in Basha, only the Yihu tribe can compare with their Yancheng, and now, I'm afraid they have to add the Changhe City in front of them.

No, judging from the scene in front of them, Changhe City seems to be richer than Yancheng and the Yihu tribe.

Before arriving at Changhe City, Basha and his party passed through many affiliated towns of the Changhe Tribe. To be honest, those towns were not as large as the affiliated tribes of Yancheng, and the population did not seem particularly large. Most of the houses were made of stone, mud, wood, and animal skins. It's okay, I can only see one or two beautiful houses occasionally, although the fields are indeed well-maintained, and the yield of the white sweet potatoes they plant seems to be much higher than their guli, but I really can't see that they are more than Where is the prosperity of Yancheng?

Until this moment, when one really stepped into Changhe City, one could see row after row of brick and tile houses in the city. Under the dazzling sunlight at noon, the houses seemed to be bathed in a thin layer of twilight. Between the houses, there are clean and spacious roads (clay roads) that are as hard as stones. From time to time, people are cleaning the roads with tools, and there is almost no garbage, let alone stinky feces. There are many trees planted on both sides of the road. These unknown trees are blooming with small light purple flowers. Clusters of small flowers are in full bloom. It is so beautiful that the whole city is filled with an elegant fragrance.

"It's... so beautiful." Wu Ling murmured softly, holding his breath, for fear that if he exhaled too much, he would blow away the dreamlike beauty in front of him in one breath.

Kohler, one of the sons of the leader of Yancheng, is very popular with his father. He ranks very high among his many brothers who have the right to inherit. At the same time, he is also an extremely powerful orc warrior, and he has some prestige among the orc warriors in Yancheng.

However, Kohler is not as ambitious as outsiders imagine. In fact, he prefers an unfettered life to power. So after the great witch's disciple Wu Ling proposed to leave the tribe to travel, he offered to become Kohler's guardian orc.

Basha has always liked Kohler very much, and she chose to leave Yancheng with Kohler without hesitation.

The other two orcs who came out with them were Basha's younger brothers, named Baal and Badan. When Basha decided to leave Yancheng with Kohler, Baal and Badan were only half a year old, and they were full of curiosity about the outside world. , It's hard to talk about it, it's soft and hard, and it finally makes sense that my parents followed my elder sister to travel.

It has been more than 3 years since they left the tribe, and it was 1 year ago that they decided to come to Changhe City. They didn't come here because those traveling merchants made great hype about Changhe City, but because the tribe's salt trade had already affected their Yancheng.

There are two types of salt in Changhe City, one is blood salt and the other is snow salt. The quality of the two salts is better than their salt in Yancheng, and the price is also cheaper.

Many tribes that used to buy coarse salt in Yancheng now turn to buy blood salt and snow salt from Changhe City.

As one of the most promising successors in Yancheng, Kohler still has the right to inherit. After he discovered this situation, he proposed to come here to take a look.

Wu Ling was the youngest of the five. He always listened to Kohler and Basha very much, and agreed to Kohler's proposal without much hesitation.

Long River City was farther away than they imagined. The road took some detours and stopped, and it took them a whole year to finally reach Long River City.

Following Quanda around the city for a long time, they found that the prosperity of Changhe City was completely beyond their imagination, and the introduction of Quanda also made them realize that Changhe City is a very different place.

They have much more characters than Yancheng, and they have schools that specialize in teaching characters, arithmetic and other knowledge. The tribe's cubs can read and study for only a small amount of Changhe coins; there are more laws and regulations than they imagined; The residents here can only have one partner. If they really can't bear their other half, they can choose to divorce, but the family property will be redistributed according to the situation; the slaves here are completely different from their Yancheng slaves. They can own their own private property, Slave owners are not allowed to beat and scold them for no reason, slaves can redeem themselves after saving enough coins and become official residents of the tribe; there is also a special medical center here, which can treat residents without witchcraft...

everything, completely It overturned their imaginations, and in their view, Changhe City's approach could be called a betrayal of the scriptures.

However, even if they don't want to admit it anymore, they still feel from the bottom of their hearts that the smiles on the brows and lips of the residents in the city are rarely seen in the residents of Yancheng, let alone that they will work hard without wielding a whip. slave.

The residence arranged for foreign travelers is a large inn on the outskirts of the block, called the Four Seas Inn. The Four Seas Inn was funded and built by the tribe. It is very large in scale, and it is also managed by the tribe's special personnel. Looking at the market outlook, it should be regarded as a "state guesthouse" for foreign guests.

There are standard rooms, single rooms and deluxe rooms in the Four Seas Inn. The former two are free within the specified time, while the latter need to pay a lot of accommodation fees.

In addition to accommodation, the Four Seas Inn also provides free food for a certain period of time for outsiders. Of course, just like the guest rooms, the completely free food is naturally not much better. The taste is generally as long as there is a meat dish for each meal. If guests want to eat more delicious food, they can pay extra to the inn, or they can go to restaurants on the street to eat.

On the first day when they came to Long River City, Kohler and the others stayed at the inn for dinner before they could exchange their carry-on items into coins.

Yancheng's food preparation methods are still at a very initial stage, basically except for boiling or roasting. What makes them better than many guli-growing tribes is that they have slowly figured out how to grind guli into powder, then add water to bake the powder into cakes. The taste is much better than cooking directly, but it is very hard and has a bad mouthfeel. Some people need to soak them in water before they can swallow them.

Therefore, when they saw the waiter at the inn bring out a whole plate of white and fat steamed buns, they immediately smelled a very fragrant guli powder scent. Kohler and the others couldn't wait to pick up the steamed buns and take a bite. It is soft and has a sweet taste. It has a taste of guli, but it tastes a hundred times better than hard scones!

What, wild vegetables can be fried and eaten, they can also be eaten cold, and they can also be made into sour ones! The taste is not bad, Kohler, a carnivorous orc, snatched more than anyone else!

In addition to roasting and boiling, animal meat can also be braised in brown sauce! I have never eaten such delicious beef! It is said that there are many other ways of cooking. I don't know what the waiters said about frying, deep-frying, steaming, braising, stewing... What kind of taste are the dishes made.

After a while, Kohler and the others ate up all the dishes brought to the table by the waiters in the inn. They even learned to eat with steamed buns dipped in vegetable soup until all the bowls were 'wiped' dry. After they were clean, they hiccupped unsatisfactorily.

The inn attendants have long been used to this kind of situation. After Kohler and the others finished their meal, they quickly cleared away the dishes and chopsticks that were so clean that there was no oily shine on the table.

After eating and drinking enough, Kohler and the others decided to take a stroll in the street.

It's the same food, Fat Kara's life is obviously much better than Kohler's. In the past ten years, the little guy's size has hardly grown, and he still looks like a chubby and squat cub, but his food intake has doubled. Several times, every time after eating, Wu Nuo would worry about rubbing his swollen belly. This is one of Fat Kara's favorite parent-child moments. (Bai Damiao: Can't be more annoying (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻)

Usually at this time, Kara is so happy that she flicks her tail and narrows her eyes, but today the little guy seems to be very absent-minded. To be more precise, he seems to be a little restless, even his favorite belly rub can't relieve this feeling. Uneasy, but as time went by, Kara became more and more uneasy. It tried to break away from Wu Nuo's hand and jumped to the ground.

"What's the matter with you? Is there any discomfort?" Wu Nuo pinched Kara's fleshy claws.

Bai snorted unhappily: "Where can it be uncomfortable? Nuo, you spoil it too much. How old is it? A cub as big as it in the tribe will no longer be in the arms of its parents. I When it was as big as it was, it already knew how to go fishing in the river, what do you think it will do now?" The talking Bai Dameow completely forgot, who drove Kara to fly high above the black forest yesterday all afternoon .

"Our Kara is not an orc cub, and although Kara doesn't know how to fish, it can watch the house, watch the livestock at home and be cute. Our Kara is also very capable..."

Before Wu Nuo finished speaking, the situation outside suddenly changed. .
