Chapter 953: The Retreating Soldiers

The sky doesn't seem to light up

From yesterday's vision to now, David estimated that almost twelve hours had passed. It would have been the scorching sun at noon in normal time, but it was still pitch black.

The dense black flows in the sky like a liquid, without a single ray of light coming in, and the endless darkness seems to describe the present.

But at this time, the residents of Kate City were not as panicked as they were yesterday. Even David could see that many people were trying to walk on the street, and many shops were trying to open.

Greed is more motivating than fear of the unknown.

The prices of all goods on the street are increasing crazily, especially wheat, the price can be described as skyrocketing, the last person you buy wheat here is 10 steel coins per catty, that person gritted his teeth and bought it, and the next customer, the peddler, Dare to shout fifteen steel weapons per catty.

The people around were well-educated, and by the time David came to the market to buy some goods, the price of wheat had already risen to 50 steel coins per catty.

It is equivalent to a fifty-fold increase in food prices in one day! !

Doomsday theory is spread everywhere in the streets and alleys, and many people are advocating the storage of food as soon as possible, which makes people panic. In fact, David discovered through observation that the ones who really advocate the Doomsday theory are those traders.

They encourage others to buy supplies, but they sell them like crazy. Facts have proved that those who spread the most rumors are actually the least believers. It has to be said that human beings are really magical creatures.

After shopping around, David found a grain shop with a price of 70 steel coins per catty and started queuing up. It wasn’t that he insisted on picking expensive ones, but that money was useless now, and it was rational to replace them all with supplies. Choose, and this shop has the fewest people queuing up, and he is most likely to completely sell the money in his hand.

If what the orc said is true, I am afraid that these currencies will be invalid in the future

"Lord David?"

Just when David was finally in line, the wheat seller suddenly looked at David blankly, and David recognized him immediately. Isn't this Harry, the servant in charge of purchasing in the Earl's Mansion?

"Why are you here?" David frowned, looking at the store full of old grain, and said quietly, "Are you selling grain from the Earl's Mansion privately?"

"No, no." Harry shook his head quickly: "My lord, don't talk nonsense, how can I have the guts? This is sold by the Earl."

"At this time, the Earl actually wants to sell grain?" David was stunned: "Shouldn't the grain be collected?"

"What kind of grain do you collect?" Harry curled his lips and said, "The Earl's Mansion has so much old grain in stock. The two years of good harvests have produced grain at a low price, and there is no place to sell it. Why don't you go stock up when this happens?" Harry said When I was here, I suddenly glanced at David, and said cautiously: "My lord, you don't really believe that the end of the world is coming, do you?"

David: ""

"You don't think this is the end of the world?" David pointed to the sky.

Harry curled his lips: "This is probably caused by some mage masters again. It looks bluffing. If it's the end, why didn't anything happen?"

David was silent for a moment, he didn't know how to refute.

"Sell me two hundred catties first."

Originally, they planned to exchange all the money for food, but now they are suddenly a little uncertain. After all, it is still a matter of whether the orc's words are reliable or not. You have to save some basic money, right?

Woo~~woo!

Just when David was preparing to load the food, suddenly a strange but familiar cry resounded throughout the entire city of Kate.

This is

Kate tensed up, this is the sound of war horns! !

"I want a thousand catties, pack it for me immediately!!"

Harry: "" —

"Uncle orc, what kind of person is my mother?" In the basement, after getting in touch with the orc for a while, Shanny found that the orc seemed easier to get in touch with than expected, so she, who was kind by nature, began to communicate actively.

Brother Gou: "I'm not old, don't call me uncle"

Shanny: "But aren't you over a hundred years old?"

Brother Gou: "We orcs have a long lifespan. A hundred years old is equivalent to your human twenties."

"You liar!" Shanny muttered, "I read Antura's journal, the average lifespan of orcs is not high, and the lifespan of many goblins is only thirty-five years old!"

"That's an inferior orc!" Brother Gou said righteously: "We are all high-level orcs with golden blood, the glory clan, how can you compare that inferior goblin with me, Hellscream?"

"Oh so, golden blood? Is your blood golden?"

"It's just an analogy"

"Then why do many of you like to be called Roar?"

Brother Gou looked embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, he couldn't say he was a middle school student, right? So he coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Didn't you just ask about your mother?"

"That's right, that's right, what kind of person is my mother?" Little Shanny was easily diverted from the topic.

"A very strong and beautiful woman." Brother Gou pretended to look like a memory, and then looked at Shanny: "It's very similar to you!"

"Really?" Shanny looked at the gentle eyes of the orc, and suddenly twisted in embarrassment, and felt happy. Except for Uncle David, few people directly praised her for being beautiful.

"Then how did you know my mother?"

Brother Gou: "It was a dark and stormy night"

Brother Gou immediately made up a story with all kinds of goofy jokes from the TV series in his previous life, which only stunned the little girl for a while, and made David, who came back with food, speechless for a while after hearing it with great interest.

I always feel that if this guy isn't wearing an orc skin, he thinks that the other party is very suitable to eat the bard's meal.

"Uncle David is back?" Shanny patted the slate next to her excitedly: "The orc brother is telling a story about his mother, come and listen together!"

Orc brother?

David's face darkened, and he suddenly regretted letting Miss Shanny stay with this orc. He always felt that there was something wrong with this guy's attitude towards Miss Shanny.

But for a long time to come, Shanny may only be entrusted to this guy

"What happened?" Brother Gou was very sensitive to find that something was wrong with David.

"The horn is sounding in the city, I must go and see!"

"The sound of the horn?" Brother Gou's expression tightened: "Do you have to go? Isn't it good to hide here?"

"You have to go over and see what's going on, don't you?" David smiled and said, "No matter how you say it, I've had the earl's food for so many years, so I have to talk about professional ethics, right?"

Dog brother:""

"Uncle David, don't you want to go?" Shanny asked worriedly.

"It's okay." David came over and rubbed Shanny's head gently: "Uncle David, I'm fine, just go over and have a look, if something happens, you must be the first to run back!"

"Pfft." Shanny smiled immediately, "Then you have to run faster."

Dog brother:""

None of them saw that in the distance, the scroll that was crumpled up by Brother Gou was moving strangely, and an eyeball grew out of the center of the scroll, quietly watching Brother Gou and his group! ! "

At the same time, at the city gate, the guarding soldiers looked at the regular armed knights densely packed like a tide, and their hands holding weapons began to tremble.

After all, he is a southern soldier who is used to living a comfortable life. Where has he experienced the murderous aura of this regular army?

The leading knight rode forward slowly on a regular dragon horse of the empire, and said loudly: "I am Luke Constantine, the guardian of the Blue Dragon City. Now I am urgently requisitioning Kate City, and ask your city lord to open the city gate!!"

Make up for one more owed yesterday
