Game of the World Tree - Chapter 496

496. Chapter 494 It’s all the fault of the Evil God of the Elf Forest!

September is the month when the season turns cooler.

The hot summer is over and the cool autumn is here.

But for the Death Desert, even in early autumn, the high temperature is still daunting.

And because of the end of the summer rainy season, the autumn in the Death Desert is even drier. Combined with the weather that is out of season from time to time, the dryness and high temperature are enough to drive people crazy…

Only the thick-skinned orcs can adapt to such a climate.

In the north of the Death Desert.

A human caravan loaded with goods is moving slowly.

There are about sixty or seventy people in the caravan, and about twenty carriages. There is a black eagle logo on one side of each carriage, which is very eye-catching.

That is the unique logo

of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce. The strongest party in the caravan is a human warrior riding a camel, about thirty years old.

He wears leather armor and has a black eagle badge on his chest. It is the Chamber of Commerce token owned by the leader of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce, and it is also a proof of identity and status.

In the Soran Chamber of Commerce, only powerful silver professionals have such a badge.

He looked at the scorching sun in the sky, took out a water bag and drank a sip of water, wiped his sweat and cursed:

“This damn weather!”

Even silver professionals cannot stand such high temperatures before they advance to the gold level and achieve a complete transformation of their physique.

The caravan gradually moved forward, bypassing one barren hill after another, and finally came to an oasis.

The oasis is not large in scale, surrounding a shallow lake, with thriving reeds and desert poplars growing on the shore.

Surrounding the oasis, there are hundreds of tents and thatched houses of all sizes.

And the orcs, who are strong and wearing simple leather armor or linen clothes, are busy.

This is an orc settlement.

The climate in the Death Desert is harsh, especially the lack of water sources, and only such an oasis can become a place of life.

After seeing the orc settlement, the leader of the Chamber of Commerce finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The orcs also noticed the caravan coming, and there was a noticeable commotion in the entire settlement.

Especially after noticing the black eagle logo of the Chamber of Commerce.

Looking at the orcs’ mixed greed, curiosity, desire and vigilance, and sweeping over their tattered equipment and clothes, the leader curled his lips.

“Inferior races are inferior races…”

he said to himself.

Even if humans are not even considered the Black Iron race, he still looks down on these big fools with only muscles in their brains.

This is determined by the comprehensive strength of the race and the strength of the true god they possess.

But soon, the leader of the caravan put on a warm smile.

He turned over and got off the camel, shouting towards the settlement:

“Sharu! I am Andris! The goods you want are here!”

The voice of the silver professional was very loud, and the sound quickly spread throughout the settlement.

A moment later, accompanied by a burst of laughter, a tall orc priest with a scar on his face walked out of the settlement surrounded by several orc warriors.

He came to the front of the caravan and looked at the full truck with a satisfied look.

“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Andris!”

He smiled at the leader of the caravan, Andris.

Andris looked at him in surprise and couldn’t help but exclaimed:

“Huh? You have been promoted to silver?”

This is a lower-silver priest!

You know, silver professionals are not common among orcs. Even if the magic power begins to revive, due to the limited potential of the race, there are very few silver masters among orcs.

Not to mention the rare priests.

In a small settlement like this with hundreds of tents and a population of at most a thousand, excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are at most five or six hundred warriors who can be shown off. Generally speaking, there will be no silver-level priests.

So… Andris was very surprised.

He didn’t smuggle many times in the Death Desert, but because he had studied at the Imperial Academy and specialized in the culture of orcs, he thought he knew the orcs quite well.

Hearing Andris’s surprise, the Orc priest named Sharu became extremely proud.

He chuckled, then his expression became serious and gradually pious.

“Praise the winter, praise the hunt! It’s all the blessing of the Father God!”

He drew a bow symbol on his chest.

Andris was slightly surprised and realized that the other party had been blessed by the true God, which was why he was promoted.

Then, he signaled the subordinates of the caravan to open the truck, and said to the Orc priest:

“Here, the 500 pieces of imperial standard equipment and food you want, no less, all the latest, check them out.”

After hearing his words, the Orc priest’s eyes lit up:

“Great! Now our tribe’s warriors can give full play to their strength!”

He waved to the Orcs behind him, and the Orcs came forward one after another to check the goods.

After a moment, the Orc warrior who had checked the information nodded to Sharu, and Sharu’s smile became even more enthusiastic:

“I know that the Sauron Chamber of Commerce will always be a friend of the Orcs!”

“Mr. Andris, and all the human friends, come into our tribe and take a rest. You have worked hard all the way. We have prepared drinks.”

He invited the caravan.

Andris also nodded and directed the caravan to enter the Orc tribe to rest.

He was not worried that the other party would cheat, even if it was a silver professional who had already appeared in this small tribe.

Maybe he would be wary of the Orcs on weekdays, but this time the other party would definitely not dare to mess around.

Because this transaction was discussed by the Orc King’s Court of the Death Desert and the top leaders of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce. It is said that there seems to be a stronger existence to endorse it…

Andris himself led only one of the many Sauron caravans that traded with the Orcs.

Andrews drank the sweet sandy spring water, sat in the shade, ate the dry food he brought with him, and squinted his eyes at the orcs who were excitedly dividing the equipment on the truck.

What surprised him was that it was not only Sharu who had improved in strength, but also these Orc warriors had become stronger.

According to his understanding, the average strength of the Orcs in the Death Desert should be in the middle of the Black Iron level, and only a few warriors could reach the upper level.

However, nearly half of these Orcs who were fighting for equipment had been promoted to the upper Black Iron level!

This surprised Andris a little, and he guessed that it was probably the work of the Hunting Church again.

A moment later, several Orcs pushing wheelbarrows came to him under the leadership of the priest.

There were three wheelbarrows, each loaded with furs.

It was the skin of a rare monster “Sand Leopard” unique to the Death Desert. It was very beautiful and was a priceless luxury in the human world. The profit of smuggling was extremely high.

These three furs, if sold in the human world, would be enough to replace seven or eight hundred sets of sophisticated armor and equipment, and enough food for a small tribe of Orcs to eat for three months.

“Very good!”

Seeing these furs, Andris looked satisfied.

However, his gaze did not stop, but looked back expectantly.

“Anything else? That… you know, contraband.”

He chuckled and asked meaningfully.

After hearing Andris’s words, the Orc priest first smiled, and then nodded meaningfully:

“Of course, there are contraband as well.”

Then, he winked at the Orc behind him, and the other nodded implicitly, and pushed a carriage tightly covered with gray cloth with another Orc.

Andris’ eyes lit up, and he hurried forward and carefully lifted a corner of the gray cloth.

Under the gray cloth was a cage.

And in the cage, three beautiful young female elves were tied up tightly and shivering.

“Only three?”

Andris frowned.

“Hey, this is not easy. You know that the Elf Forest has been in a lot of trouble recently. We caught these three people by blocking the road to the Dark Mountains. They were all planning to return to the Elf Forest from the Kingdom of Aris.”

“However, this is the limit. Recently, those evil elves have begun to appear in the Dark Mountains, and we have lost a lot of manpower.”

The half-orc priest shook his head.

Hearing his words, Andris also frowned slightly.

Elves are the most valuable luxury slaves in the black market, and they are also the earliest capital of the Soran Chamber of Commerce.

However, since last year, a true elf god who inherited the world tree godhood was born among the elves, which made the trade of elf slaves fall into a trough…

This true god named Eve is rumored to be a subordinate god supported by the god of death.

Last year, he defeated the half-orc army that attacked the Elf Forest, and also assisted the underground world’s Silence City-State Alliance to defeat the Dark City-State Alliance. He is a mythical existence that has become more and more popular over the years.

According to rumors, He borrowed the power of the God of Death to create an immortal elf army, and it was with the power of the immortal army that He won many victories.

However, the specific details are full of rumors.

No one knows what the so-called immortal elf army is.

Some say it is a visitor from outer space, some say it is the dead elves, and some say it is the elves eroded by the power of the abyss. There are even rumors that the immortal elf army has never existed, because elves are not suitable to be warriors at all, and those so-called elf armies are disguised as the heroic spirits of the God of Death…

In short… It is confusing and extremely mysterious.

Even in the human world, many adventurers and bards have recently become curious about Him, and some are planning to go to the Elf Forest for adventure.

It is this true god who publicly announced that he would bless the elves, resulting in fewer and fewer elves entering the black market, and those elf slaves who were originally living peacefully have also experienced a large-scale escape.

The profits of the Sauron Chamber of Commerce have also been hit hard by this.

However, at the same time, the reduction in elf slaves has also led to an increase in prices. If these three female elves are sold now, I am afraid they can easily sell for several times the price of a few years ago.

Thinking of this, Andris felt somewhat comforted.

Similarly, he could almost predict that the price the orcs would ask for would be even higher.

As expected, after showing him the elf slaves, the orc priest quickly whispered:

“Moreover… now the royal court has forbidden us to capture elves, and requires that all elves caught must be killed on the spot… I secretly left these three for you.” “

I took a big risk, so… hehehe, you know.”

“Good friend! I will buy these three elves at double the price!”

Andris patted the other party’s shoulder and said cheerfully.

After hearing his words, a hint of surprise flashed across the eyes of the orc priest. However,

Andris saw that hint of surprise, but he felt a little contempt for the other party in his heart…

For the orcs, the orders of the royal court often also meant the orders of the hunting church.

It is very possible that the Black Iron Priest would bully his superiors for the sake of profit, but it was the first time that he had seen a Silver Priest dare to disobey the order of the royal court…

“Low-level races are low-level races, and even the Silver Priests’ faith is not so devout.”

Andris despised in his heart.

Of course, if he knew that the other party was forcibly strengthened by the God of Winter and Hunting, he would not be so surprised.

The transaction between the two parties was very pleasant.

The men were busy moving the goods, and the two leaders continued to chat, talking about the various interesting things that happened recently in the human world and the Death Desert.

Intelligence is also often a very valuable resource.

“Hey, recently members of the Oak Hand have appeared in the Kingdom of Aeris, and they have destroyed several of our smuggling bases. It’s really hateful…”

“It’s all because of the evil god that appeared in the Elf Forest, otherwise… we can still go there hunting.”

“Evil god? I heard that he is a real god.”

“Hey! If it wasn’t the evil god, how could the elves become so evil?”

“That’s right, so… you are buying equipment and food. Are you really planning to attack the Elf Forest again before winter?”

“Mr. Andres, this involves our secrets. Even if we are friends, it’s not easy to reveal the details.” “

Tsk, why are you hiding it? I heard that the top leaders of our Chamber of Commerce are planning to send mercenaries to support you. We are all allies…”

“Is it true?”

“It seems that you don’t know yet. In fact, our Sauron Chamber of Commerce is also jealous of the products of the Elf Forest, but it has never been easy to make a move…”

“Hey, Mr. Andres, don’t talk nonsense. The Elf Forest belongs to us orcs!”

“I know, it’s a thousand-year contract! But you didn’t keep it!”

“Who knew that the evil god would appear?”

“You’ve come back again…”

“Hey… Anyway, our strength is much better now. We will definitely win this time and wash away last year’s shame. The evil god of the Elf Forest won’t be arrogant for too long!”

The Orc priest said proudly.

It’s different now…

After hearing what he said, Andris couldn’t help but look at the active Orcs around him.

Indeed, if we look at the strength of the tribe, the Orcs have improved too much.

Although reason tells him that this is definitely not normal, the improvement in strength is real.

A tribe like the one where Sharu is located is just one of the many small tribes of the Orcs.

They can organize and plan to send out an Orc army of 500 people. So it seems that the Orcs in the desert are really going to come out in full force this time…

100,000? Hundreds of thousands?

The last time it was recorded in the literature should be a thousand years ago, right?

It seems that at that time, the Orcs also came out in full force, also attacking the Elf Forest, and finally established their position on the continent.

Thinking about the historical knowledge he had learned, Andris sighed slightly:

“History is still similar…”

He squinted his eyes and looked at the sky.

The sun was still hot, and the blue sky was like a huge blue mirror.

Looking at the deep sky, Andris said with some surprise:

“Huh? So there are mountain eagles in the Death Desert?”

“Mountain eagle?”

The Orc priest frowned.

“We don’t have many flying birds here.”

He shook his head.

“Not a mountain eagle? Then… what is it?”

Andris was a little surprised and a little confused.

“Huh?”

The Orc priest followed his gaze and looked –

there was not a single white cloud in the sky. There was

only a tiny golden figure flapping its wings and circling…

The figure was vague, like a golden mountain eagle.

However, the wings were a little strange.

Suddenly, the golden figure began to lower…

and gradually, the two of them could see each other’s outlines clearly.

However, after seeing the outlines clearly, they were even more surprised:

“Dragon?”

It was a small golden dragon.
