A strange world

Chapter 710 Section 107. Bartering for barter

South, Moorish City.

This small town not far from the port of Tuos was once famous for the birth of a large number of stage actors, and many famous stage actors came from here.

After the new thing called Magical Image spread across the ocean, Moorish City was inevitably hit. Politicians, businessmen, and actors spontaneously boycotted Magical Image, and it is said that they even drove out the businessman who purchased the theater.

The atmosphere was so intense that even the unlucky guy named Jack would be beaten.

But after Henry secretly went to Port Tuos and spent half a year's salary to watch "When Freedom Knocks on the Door", he could no longer hate magical images.

He already received the smallest salary and did the most work. Anyway, the money won't fall into your hands.

And the magical images are really beautiful. For a short two hours, it felt like being in a real world. He briefly turned into an orc. He turned into Chris countless times in his dreams, and then worked to make money, just to get enough boat tickets to go to the land of freedom. …

Reality didn't work, the ticket was too expensive, and Henry didn't have the courage to abandon everything in pursuit of freedom...

So Henry had no choice but to come to the rocks on the west promontory, sit on the rocks on the brown beach, look at the dark gray sea water, and pretend that this was Liberty City.

He longed for Liberty City so much that when his boss, Greta Huffman, was about to send him to Liberty City, Henry froze there as if he was stupid.

"Why are you standing there? Do you want to go or not?"

Henry wasn't sure whether the boss was testing him or something, so he asked cautiously: "Don't we want to maintain the glory of the stage show?"

"That's what you told others, do you believe it?"

Greta Huffman said with a mocking face: "Remember, a lie requires a bigger lie. When liars join forces to weave a lie to deceive themselves, whoever betrays the lie first will be trapped in the lie." Minimal loss.”

The theater owner had always been so reasonable, so Henry fell for his trick.

"why me?"

Henry was confused. He had never been the most popular actor among his bosses. He always did the dirtiest work. He was just a waiter at the celebration party, so he never treated himself well... Well, the boss saved him from a rare snowstorm. The time of rescue does not count.

"Because I have always regarded you as my son." Greta Huffman said affectionately.

"When will I inherit your theater?"

Bang——

Greta Huffman punched Henry on the head and said with a changed face: "I just said nice things, how dare you really believe it?!"

Although he stopped acting for a long time, he was still one of the most famous actors in Moore City twenty years ago.

Henry shrank his neck: "Then, what should I do in Liberty City..."

"Be a magic image actor."

"ah?"

Greta Huffman turned into a kind person again: "If you become a star in Liberty City, you will be a star in Allen Continent."

"that's all?"

"Of course not! Remember, you have to steal their skills, become their actor, and finally come back with the love of the audience to make money for me!"

As for why it was Henry... because Greta Huffman had a headache and discovered that the other actors had watched Magic Video, discussed the plot all day long, and even proposed adapting Magic Video into theater rehearsals.

Greta Huffman readily agreed, but then felt a headache. Asking them to go to Liberty City was like letting the pretty girl run into the wild... He observed for several days and found that only Henry had never participated - he did not know that Henry had I watched it secretly.

Greta Huffman acted quickly. The next day, he gave Henry the ship ticket and travel expenses, and took him to Tuos Port to put him on a merchant ship.

"Remember! Your roots are here. I dug you out of the heavy snow!"

Greta Huffman ran for a while at the dock following the merchant ships leaving the port.

Henry waved to his boss on the deck, with the sea breeze blowing on his face, and his heart felt calmer than ever before.

The boss only chooses himself because he is the one who has the best control.

Was.

…

A portal opens in the Fetid Swamp.

The goblins who were mating in the shack, wallowing in the mud, roasting frog legs, and huddled together came one after another.

Based on the fact that every time the portal appears, it brings a lot of resources, and the goblins almost have an incentive reflex.

The soldiers in Liberty City on the other side were not so looking forward to it. They saw and smelled the swamp filled with mist and rancid smell. It was obviously not a good place over there.

The 500 soldiers of the Musketeers marched into the putrid swamp. The goblins raised their heads and stared blankly at the soldiers who were like divine soldiers descending from the sky. Some goblins looked at the sunshine in the portal.

One of the thirty-four Jacks, the legion commander, replaced Fermi to guard the Rotten Swamp: "Fermi legion commander, Lord Annan asked you to go back."

"Legion Commander?"

"You'll know when you get back."

"Okay, you have to pay attention to the goblins here. They like to lie on the wooden boards and come from the swamp to sneak attack..."

Femi and Jack explained some precautions, completed the defense change, and returned to Liberty City with the Hellfire soldiers.

Jack and Fermi were different. The first people to realize this were the goblins in the Putrid Swamp.

Femi and his hellfire are like steel, they are hard and cold, and no matter how small the goblins are, they can't move their cold hearts.

Jack was less determined. As a refugee, he is much more "philistine". He sometimes thought that if he hadn't met Mr. Annan, he would have become a gangster in a slum gang, died in a chaos one day in the future, or become the leader of a gang...

So after learning about the current situation in the Rotting Swamp, he took the initiative to spread the word about "exchanging goblin golems for food."

"A goblin golem can be exchanged for the same weight of food and tools!"

The goblin golem weighs about 1.5 tons... which is about six thousand pounds. At first no goblin cared about it, but after Jack inquired about it, he got the dumbfounding fact: the goblins didn't know the weight and thought that a goblin golem could only be exchanged for something the size of a goblin golem.

Jack improved his plan and placed about 6,000 pounds of grain at the entrance of the village, letting the goblins see that the stacked boxes were taller and larger than their village chief's house.

On a muggy, steamy morning that made the soldiers rash, a group of goblins shouted slogans and used wooden sticks to push the heavy goblin golem outside the village.

They exchange food and tools.

Jack kept his promise and moved the goblin golem to a simple scale like a seesaw, and then placed grain on the other side so that the two sides were even.

The goblins who left holding the food laughed loudly at the stupidity of humans and how easy it was to cheat. They secretly smeared mud on the goblin golems and stuffed rocks into the joints without noticing. At least they gained dozens of pounds more resources!

Jack was also very happy, knowing that Lord Annan would definitely praise him a lot, and the goblin felt that he had earned it.

Only Dole watched all this silently, with occasional sadness passing through his eyes.
