Chapter 326: Crossing Naggaroth
Male mages are a very scarce resource in the dark elf society.
Even though Windlow is just a human, he still gained a lot of respect and recognition of his strength in Naggaroth.
This made Mousse proud, and he always brought Windlow with him wherever he went, even to meetings of high-level dark elves.
But Mousse, with such a big head, doesn't seem to like the internal political struggles, and has an expression that says, "It's none of my business."
After all, all the content of the meeting had nothing to do with her interests.
As a butler who was qualified to stand next to Mousse and listen, Wendlow heard all the secrets of the dark elves.
The current situation of the dark elves is extremely pessimistic.
Because of the impending Chaos invasion, the climate in the north has become much colder again.
Not only will food and other crops decrease, but a large number of slaves will also die.
Secondly, Malekith has decided that all dark elves must follow him to counterattack the Ulthuan Islands.
At that time, the land of Naggaroth will be abandoned directly.
Although the ancestors of the elves were born in Ulthuan and spread to the entire world.
But most dark elves have never left Naggaroth since they were born, and have already regarded this place as their hometown.
Just like the Wood Elves who live in the forests and do not want to leave, there are many Dark Elves who do not want to leave Naggaroth.
Finally, the Witch King has completely decided to personally counterattack the Ulthuan Islands, which means that a large number of Dark Elf nobles who are dissatisfied with the Witch King's rule will come out to cause trouble.
Mousse was completely absent-minded. This Nagaroth had nothing to do with her anymore. She just needed to rest and leave by boat from the east coast.
There is no honor or justice, no interests or hatred.
After the meeting, he left Octopus Face's team and spent his own money to buy a Cold Lizard chariot.
Remove the steel saw blade from it, and spend more money to replace the cold lizard with a creature that is more trained and less likely to stimulate its primitive instincts.
The goods and the ratman doctor's family were stuffed into the reinforced truck, and the journey around Naggaroth began.
If the internal struggle of the Dark Elves can be called a factional dispute, then all the Electors within the Empire are united like brothers.
There are many factions of all sizes, and basically there are seven or eight factions in every city.
Every faction is trying to become the leader of darkness. At the same time, during the journey, Windlow also truly got to know the race of dark elves.
Completely different from the Dark Elves described by others.
Their urbanization is very high, basically 80% of the dark elves live in cities. The overcrowded population and scarce resources have led to various murders and crimes.
In the past, I believed that the Dark Elves, a race that practiced social Darwinism, would definitely face the problem of severe population shortage.
But on average, the crime and murder rates among dark elves are incredibly low.
Crimes and murders are basically concentrated in cities. The urban population of the Dark Elves is large, so overall, the average crime rate is not much different from that of the Empire, and is even much lower.
Doing business in the land of Naggaroth is actually the safest place in the world.
There is no Skaven threat here, because all the Skavens have been killed by the Dark Elves.
There is no threat of beastmen here either. First of all, elves are resistant to chaos and will not be transformed into beastmen by chaos magic, nor will their babies mutate into beastmen when corrupted by chaos.
There is no greenskin threat here. Not only is the climate in this piece of land cold and not suitable for the growth of greenskins, but there are also constant attacks from dark elves.
There is only one external threat here, and that is Chaos from the North.
But after Malekith established the northern fortress group, every Chaos invasion was blocked by the Dark Elves.
In addition to internal struggles, the land of Naggaroth.
“It’s really free.”
Windlow sat next to Mousse, trying his best to stay away from the cold lizards. This labor force used to replace horses was actually a meat eater, and he might turn around and bite him.
"Freedom? The journey? Yes."
Mousse can also make such an exclamation.
There are no bandits or highwaymen common in the empire, and no beastmen or wood elves running around in the woods.
As for the so-called extortion and heavy taxation, it is even more nonsense.
The militaristic Dark Elves basically do not collect taxes on business, nor do they provide any protection for business, and business activities are free of the common backstabbing and breach of contract.
When passing through the city of Hal Kadora, the dark elf soldiers guarding the gate did not check Windlow's carriage at all.
There will be no checking for any contraband. In Naggaroth, nothing is contraband.
They would not check whether there is Chaos Corrosion or Chaos Books. This place is originally close to the north. When the Chaos Wind blows southward, it is as normal for the local residents as eating and drinking.
They will not collect taxes, and the dark elves, who rely on war and slave exploitation, look down on commercial activities.
When doing business with the dark elves, Windlow felt like he was doing business with the children in the village.
They never hide any expression on their faces.
If the price is high, he will show an angry expression; if the price is low, he will show a happy expression. When he sees a human, he will show a disdainful expression. When he finds out that this human is actually the steward of the Lord of Fear, he will reveal a flattering and dagger-hiding look.
With this kind of personality, one will suffer great losses when doing business in the empire.
Here, Windlow was able to buy all the goods he wanted at the most suitable price.
The dark elves' goods are mainly concentrated in three types: food made by other slaves, elven accessories made by elven slaves, and military weapons and equipment.
The local rat slaves had shackles in their mouths and kept cultivating cotton and corn under the whip of their dark elf slave masters.
It seems that the lack of livestock and farming means the labor force is very low, but central Naggaroth is all plains, and there are a large number of rat slaves used for farming.
This resulted in very low food prices in the city of Hal Kadjora.
Since the Witch King Malekith's grain-collecting team had not come for a long time, a lot of food was thrown on the ground and no one dealt with it.
Seeing the emergence of a human being with the identity of a steward, the local landowners and slave owners naturally laughed at the act of exchanging gold for food.
He completed one deal after another, even allowing Windlow to have a food caravan and hiring several dark elf bodyguards.
Looking at the dozen or so young dark elf bodyguards, Mousse smiled coldly.
"I'm afraid you don't have to pay the balance."
