314 Chapter 264: Plunder the Underground World, Get Rich in One Waive [1/3]
In an unknown tavern in Bloohoof City, the stench of alcohol and sweat filled the air.
Dozens of underground creatures drank and chatted. They did not care about the terrible air around them.
As far as the eye could see, there were half-snake men, prison barbarians, halflings, lizardmen, taurens… One could see all kinds of strange races here.
A tauren with a face full of scars and a pair of blood-tinted eyes picked up the bowl on the table and gulped down the sour-strong wine in one go.
‘Burp!’
Its face was flushed red. It suddenly stood up and shouted at its two companions under the influence of alcohol.
“Did you guys hear? The gray-colored dwarves’ reward for the surface lord increased to 15 million food units from 10 million units!”
Its eyes turned even redder.
“Fifteen million units! If we can get this, our tribe won’t have to worry for three years, no, five years!”
As the tauren said that, it slammed the table.
It quickly caused the lively tavern to quieten down. Everyone’s eyes turned to the tauren that appeared particularly tall after it stood up.
The tauren noticed this and shouted.
“What are you looking at? Aren’t you interested? That’s 15 million units of food!
“What a great fortune this is!”
A dwarf pursed its lips in disdain when it heard this. It suddenly stood up on the bench and wiped the food residue from the corner of its mouth with its sleeve.
It shouted.
“You buffaloes must have drunk too much and slept in the sewer for a few days, right?
“The information is bullshit.”
The crowd burst into laughter when they saw the dwarf’s funny appearance.
It quickly annoyed the bull-headed man.
“Damned Shorty! What did you just say?”
As it spoke, it picked up the long-handled axe inclined on the wooden table.
The dwarf glanced at it and said in disdain.
“The reward for the surface Lord in Fortress City has been raised to 18 million food units!
“Your 15 million is already out of date!”
These words immediately caused a commotion in the tavern.
“That’s right! I just got the news that the gray-colored dwarves have raised the reward for that human.
“Above the gods, 18 million units of food. If it were to me, I couldn’t finish them in my lifetime…
“The gray dwarves are so rich. They can take out tens of millions of units of food just like that.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the price the gray dwarves offered is genuinely impressive, but what’s even more surprising is the human lord from the surface… With such a high bounty on his head, no one could do anything to him! What kind of strength is this?”
The tauren’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“It took two days for the gray-colored dwarves to raise the price, and now it’s increased again? What did that surface human do?”
The dwarf picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it. It looked at the crowd around proudly.
“That human overlord plundered the Iron Fort two hundred kilometers away from Fortress City this morning!
“Oh, god of gnomes! The human took several resources from the Iron Fort.”
After the dwarf finished speaking, it stared at the interested audience and increased its voice.
“And when the gray-colored dwarves sent their troops to besiege the human lord on the surface, the human lord slaughtered them, and there were several casualties.
“The surface lord is fighting the level 13 Iron Fort Lord alone!”
“In a one-on-one battle, the human lord slaughtered the Iron Fort lord!
The dwarf added.
“That’s right. The enemy didn’t use that powerful mechanical puppet!”
These words immediately caused a burst of exclamations.
“What?! It didn’t use any mechanical puppet?!”
“Isn’t the surface lord only level 9? The Iron Fort Lord had already reached level 13 and was extremely powerful. How could the surface city troops defeat them?”
“Where did you get this information? It must be inaccurate!”
“This is a bit fake! The Iron Fort Lord must have besieged and slaughtered the human opponents!”
It continued to bewilder the crowd…
The dwarf was even more excited when it heard the heated discussion.
Shorty enjoyed being the center of attention.
It shouted.
“This is a message from a friend of mine in Fortress City!
“My friend witnessed the battle with its own eyes. The Iron Fort Lord suffered a tragic death.
“If it weren’t for this, how could the reward for the gray-colored dwarves increase from 15 million to 18 million?!
“Don’t doubt it! If the human leader is not strong, how can he become an ally of Bloodhoof City?”
The surrounding crowd immediately thought of the various legends the human overlord left behind during this period and quickly shared their knowledge.
“Indeed, if it were someone else, this might be nonsense. But that human overlord is not an ordinary person…”
“In the past three days, the human lord has attacked seven cities of the gray-colored dwarves! Seven cities in three days… It’s ultimately unbelievable!”
“As expected of someone from the surface. The human lord annihilated a level 13 hero with his level 9 power. It’s explicitly unbelievable!”
The more they talked, the more lively the atmosphere in the tavern became.
Someone brought up another matter not long after.
“Do you think the news this lord of the surface recruited our heroes and brought them to the surface could be true?”
The people around immediately responded.
“Of course, it’s true! Otherwise, why would they ask Bloodhoof City to help spread the news?”
“And the notice is posted outside Lord’s mansion of the city. Anyone who wants to join the city human lord can get a free house to live in…”
