Chapter nine hundred and ninety-eight: The defeated soldiers....
The sky... doesn't seem to light up...
From yesterday's vision to now, David estimated that it had been almost twelve hours. If it were normal time, it was already hot and noon, but it was still pitch black now.
The rich black flowed in the sky like liquid, without a trace of light coming in. The darkness that was surrounded by the sky seemed to describe the present.
However, at this time, the residents of Kate City were not as panicked as yesterday. Even David could see many people trying to walk on the street, and many shops began to try to open their businesses.
Greed is more powerful than fear of the unknown.
All the goods on the street are rising wildly, especially wheat. The prices are soaring. If you buy wheat here, you will yell ten steel coins per pound. That person grits his teeth and buys it. Facing the next customer, vendor, you will dare to yell fifteen steel coins per pound.
People around me learned a lot. When David came to the market to prepare to buy some goods, the wheat had already increased to fifty pounds of steel coins per kilogram.
It is equivalent to the price of grain rising fifty times in one day!!
The Doomsday is spread everywhere in the streets and alleys, and many people are advocating to store food quickly, which makes people panic. In fact, through observation, David found that the vendors who really advocate the Doomsday are those who advocate the Doomsday.
They encourage others to buy supplies, but they frantically sell supplies. The facts prove that the people who spread the most rumors are actually the least believers. I have to say that humans are really a very magical creature.
After a walk around, David found a grain shop with a price of 70 steel coins per kilogram and started queuing. It was not that he insisted on choosing expensive ones, but that he felt that money was useless now, and it was a rational choice to exchange it all for supplies. There were the fewest people in line for this shop, so he was most likely to completely take out the money in his hand.
If the orc said it was true, then these currencies will soon be invalid in the future...
"Mr. David?"
Just when David finally got the seat, the wheat vendor suddenly looked at David in a daze, and David also recognized him. Isn’t this Harry, the servant in charge of purchasing in the Earl’s Mansion?
"Why are you here?" David frowned, looked at the shop full of old grain, and said quietly: "Do you have sold the Earl's Mansion again without permission?"
"No..." Harry shook his head quickly: "Sir, don't talk nonsense, how dare I do that? This is what the Earl Master asked to sell..."
"At this time, Lord Earl actually asked to sell food?" David was stunned: "Shouldn't he be collecting food?"
"What kind of food is collected?" Harry curled his lips and said, "The Earl's Mansion has stored so much old grain. The harvest of grain has been cheap in the past two years. I'm worried that there is no place to sell it. If this happens, why don't you hurry up and go to stock it?" Harry suddenly glanced at David and said carefully: "Sir... you don't really believe that the end of the world is coming, right?"
David: "……….”
"Do you think this is not like the end of the world?" David pointed to the sky.
Harry curled his lips: "It's probably because some wizards are doing something wrong again. It seems to be a fool. If it was the end of the world, why didn't nothing happen?"
David was silent immediately, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Sell me two hundred kilograms first..."
I originally planned to exchange all the money for food, but now I suddenly feel a little uncertain. After all, it’s still up to date whether the orc’s words are reliable or not. I have to leave some money, right?
Woo~~ Woo!
Just as David was about to load the food, a strange and familiar chirping suddenly echoed throughout Kate City.
This is.....
Kate tightened his whole body, it was the sound of the war horn!!
"I want a thousand pounds, install it immediately!!"
Harry: "........."

"Uncle orc...what kind of person is my mother?" In the basement, after contacting Shanni for a while, she found that the orc seemed to be better than she thought, so she, who is naturally kind, began to communicate actively.
Brother Dog: "Uh...I'm not old, don't call me uncle..."
Shanny: "But aren't you over 100 years old?"
Brother Dog: "We orcs have a long lifespan, and they are over one hundred years old and are about your humans in their twenties."
"You are lying!" Shanni muttered, "I have read the Antula log. The average lifespan of orcs is not high, and many goblins live only thirty-five years!"
"That's an inferior orc!" Dog Ge said righteously: "We are all advanced orcs with golden blood, the Glory clan, how can you compare that inferior goblin with my Hellscream?"
"Oh...so...golden blood? Is your blood golden?"
"Just like an example..."
"Then why do many of you like to call Roaring?"
Brother Dog looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while. He couldn't say he was a second-year junior, right? So he coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Aren't you asking your mother about it just now?"
"Yes, yes, what kind of person is my mother?" Xiao Shanni was easily distracted from the topic.
"A very strong and beautiful woman..." Brother Dog pretended to be like a memory, then looked at Shanni: "It looks very similar to you!"
"Is that true?" Shanni looked at the orc's gentle eyes and twisted embarrassedly, feeling happy. Except for Uncle David, few people directly praised her for her beauty.
"Then... how did you know my mother?"
Brother Dog: "It was a dark and windy night..."
Brother Dog immediately took out all kinds of bloody jokes from TV series in his previous life and made up a story. He was stunned by the little girl. He was so excited that he made David, who was pulling back with food, speechless.
I always feel that if this guy was not wearing orc skin, he thought the other party was very suitable for the bard to eat the bowl of rice.
"Uncle David is back?" Shanni excitedly patted the stone slab next to her: "The orc brother is telling his mother's story. Come and listen together!"
Orc brother?
David's face turned dark, and suddenly he regretted letting Miss Shanni stay with the orc. He always felt that something was wrong with this guy's attitude towards Miss Shanni.
But for a long time, Shanni probably could only entrust her to this guy...
"Is something wrong?" Brother Dog was sensitive to discover that something was wrong with David.
"There is a horn sound in the city, I have to go over and take a look!"
"The sound of the horn?" Brother Dog looked tight: "Do you have to go? Isn't it good to hide here?"
"You have to go over and see what's going on, right?" David smiled and said, "Anyway, I've had the meal that the Earl has had for so many years. I have to talk about some professional ethics, right?"
Dog Brother: "........."
"Uncle David, don't go, okay?" Shanni said with a worried look on her face.
"It's okay..." David walked over and gently rubbed Shanni's head: "Uncle David, I won't have any trouble, just go over and take a look. If something happens, I will be the first to run back!"
"Puchi..." Shanni smiled immediately: "Then... then you have to run faster..."
Dog Brother: "......"
No one saw that in the distance, the scroll was rubbed into a ball by the Dog Brother. It was moving strangely. An eyeball appeared in the center of the scroll, and he was quietly staring at the Dog Brother and his group!!
---------------------------------
At the same time, at the city gate, the guards looked at the regular armed knights as densely as the tide, and their hands holding weapons began to shake.
After all, they are southern soldiers who are used to living a comfortable life. Where have they experienced the murderous aura of a regular army?
