Therefore, with the orcs' understanding of deception, they would never think of making money by playing tricks on the scales.

Now, after realizing the cunning of humans, the orcs' hair stood on end, and they completely realized how terrible this weak race in the neighboring country was.

Of course, this still did not shake the yearning of most orcs for the human empire.

After all, in the hearts of orcs, human cunning is also an "excellent" quality, something worth learning for orcs.

At the same time, in the orc capital of Bryce.

The members of the Black Blade were also surprised by the plot of the movie. The cunning of humans made it difficult for them to imagine how vigilant they should be when doing business with these businessmen.

On the other hand, the former general Fontrey had a calm expression.

After all, he has always known that the cunning of humans, the various tricks and tactics used by humans in the orc wars of all generations have annoyed the orcs.

This wisdom is also extremely amazing in business, and no matter how cautious you are, you will fall into it from time to time.

However, since humans are willing to make such a movie for the orcs, it means that they are confident in their own strength and are willing to show their brains.

In the end, everything will be decided on a fair stage.

This is the charm of the world itself, the charm brought by the competition of natural selection!

...

Luda Sasburg, at the meeting of the two countries.

The Beast King saw the scene in the movie and smiled bitterly:

"I didn't expect that Lord Durin would actually make such a plot... By the way, human king, are you just letting him make some stories that discredit humans?"

In response to the Beast King's confusion, King Hubbard said:

"Is there any problem with this? Human cunning is a fact, and it is not something that needs to be covered up. In other words, cunning is also a kind of wisdom. It is precisely relying on this wisdom that the empire can exist in this world for thousands of years until now."

"I see..."

Hearing King Hubbard's words, the Beast King nodded.

She could realize that this human king had full confidence in the human race and the future of the empire, so he would behave like this.

After all, any slander is meaningless in the face of absolute strength.

When the strength is strong enough, the so-called shortcomings will become advantages, and even those unjust will be praised and praised.

Moreover, what the other party said is indeed true. Cunning is wisdom in another context, the wisdom of survival.

Under the concerned eyes of everyone, the story of "Spice and Wolf" continues to develop.

After Lawrence and Holo purchased a large number of weapons through credit purchase, they went to the next city, Ryubinhaigen.

On the way, they had to take a detour because they met a mercenary group.

And on this path, they met a shepherd girl with a pretty appearance, which made Lawrence couldn't help but look at her twice.

The other party first chatted with Lawrence, and then suddenly expressed the hope that Lawrence would hire her.

She said that she had the ability to drive away wolves and was willing to help Lawrence and others drive away wolves.

Seeing the girl trying to prove herself, Lawrence was a little soft-hearted and didn't want to refuse.

He discussed with Holo, and after trying to comfort her, he finally got her approval.

So Lawrence hired the girl for forty copper coins, and he learned her name, Nora Allen.

The three of them set off, and Lawrence and Nora had a good chat, which made Holo very unhappy, but she could do nothing about it.

After a day and a night of trekking, the group successfully arrived at the next town, Liubinhaigen.

Lawrence and Nora said goodbye and entered the city.

When he said that his goods were military equipment during the security check, the look of the sentry was obviously a little wrong.

Although Lawrence was a little confused, he didn't ask it out.

After entering the town, Lawrence took the initiative to go to the foreign company, that is, the Merchant Guild to check the situation.

The boss of the guild was his guide, so he had a good relationship with him. The two sides had a good conversation. After completing the handover procedures, they went to the Chamber of Commerce to sell weapons.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, the deserted appearance made Lawrence tense.

The appearance of this place was extremely dilapidated, and the passers-by around had gloomy eyes.

Lawrence hesitated for a moment about this fact, but finally walked in.

"I think it should not be Sunday yet, what's the matter?"

"No, well, there is something... Boss, did you arrive in Reubenhagen today?"

The moment he asked this question, the unloader's eyes suddenly became sharp, and Lawrence's instinct as a businessman told him that there was danger.

This situation is not good, obviously not good.

So, he turned around and left immediately without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the unloader in front of him suddenly shouted:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lawrence from the Roen Guild?"

"How do you know?"

The moment Lawrence reacted, the other party showed a smile that made him feel sick.

"You should have agreed to bring troops from the Rado Peron Trading Company to our trading company, right?"

The unloader said slowly with a smile that made Lawrence want to vomit:

"The thing is, a fast horse came from Poloson last night, notifying that Rado Peron Company had transferred all its debts to our company. In other words, Mr. Lawrence, your current creditor is us."

"What?"

All of a sudden, Lawrence felt dizzy and trembled all over.

Aside, Holo still didn't understand the situation and showed a worried expression.

"What happened?"

The unloader said ruthlessly:

"The merchant around you, his business failed, just like us. Because the price of military equipment plummeted a while ago, Rado Peron, the old fox, sold some bad inventory, and he is now heavily in debt."

"It was set up..."

In an instant, Lawrence's face was instantly defeated, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Chapter 488 (XV) The merchants’ empathy

Chapter 488

The unloader’s bankruptcy declaration to Lawrence shocked Lawrence and Holo, and also made the audience outside the movie “Spice and Wolf” suddenly show an expression of disbelief.

After all, no one expected that Lawrence and Holo had already seen through the conspiracy of the Chamber of Commerce manager, but because of their own greed, they fell into a worse vortex.

“Those weapons are actually worthless? The previous Chamber of Commerce leader knew this and cheated Lawrence?”

“This is too scary. I thought Lawrence and his team made a profit.”

“How can this be? That businessman is too cunning, right?”

“What should we do next? How much money will be lost?”

“…”

For a moment, the audiences in major cinemas were all stunned. No one expected the story to develop in this way.

After all, everyone originally thought that Lawrence would make a fortune by selling this wave of weapons, but they didn't expect that disaster would come first.

When the bankruptcy declaration sounded, any audience who roughly understood the rules of business had already revealed a heart-wrenching expression.

...

At the same time, the Orc Kingdom.

The audience of the Orc Kingdom did not understand business, but they could roughly understand that Lawrence was cheated. Not only did he not make money, but he was burdened with a huge debt.

The orcs were originally shocked by the cunning of humans. Now that they realized that a transaction could actually have two crises, they had a little fear of human business.

Of course, this is a correct fear. After all, if you don't prepare to invest in such a dangerous industry, the final result will inevitably be a loss of money.

After all, there is nothing more likely to make people make huge profits quickly than business, and there is nothing more likely to make people's families and people die on the spot than business.

If the orcs understand this truth in advance, they can naturally avoid the possibility of suffering a big loss in future trade with the human kingdom, which will be a good help for the future friendly exchanges between the two countries.

Then, under the tense and emotional expressions of many viewers, the story of "Spice and Wolf" continued to play at a very fast pace.

After being declared bankrupt by the unloader, Lawrence was taken to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Ryubinhaigen and met the Chamber of Commerce manager Lemario.

As the Chamber of Commerce manager, Lemario looked even worse than Lawrence.

His deep eye sockets and thin cheeks could only be described as haggard. He was wearing a shirt that seemed to have not been changed for several days, and his eyes exuded a strange light.

He looked completely poor and destitute.

This was also very normal. The person who was most affected by the plummeting price of military equipment was the manager of the Ryubinhaigen Chamber of Commerce. He was probably chatting with Lawrence here with a suicidal mood.

And Lawrence was forced to be involved in the situation encountered by the previous Chamber of Commerce manager because he was deceived by the previous Chamber of Commerce manager and fell into a state of bankruptcy.

If he couldn't sell the weapons at a good price and repay the credit loan, Lawrence would immediately become a debtor and would never be able to live in the sun again.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Lawrence talked to Holo about his current situation.

He pretended to be calm and told Holo not to worry, and the latter said that if the situation was not right, he would immediately change back to his original form and take her away from the town.

After that, Lawrence went back to the Roen Guild and talked to the president about his situation. The other party said that he was powerless in this matter and could only rely on himself to solve it.

Realizing that everything was irreversible, Lawrence decided to find a way to earn the money he owed within two days, which was 47 gold coins!

This was an extremely exaggerated number, but in order not to be declared bankrupt and thrown into slavery, Lawrence could only force himself to raise his spirits and try to find a way to get the money.

The first thing Lawrence thought of was to borrow money from other merchants. As long as he borrowed a gold coin from each person, he might be able to solve the dilemma.

However, after spending a whole afternoon, Lawrence did not succeed in borrowing a penny.

Merchants are all profit-seeking. No merchant would be willing to do something that only involves risk but no profit. In the end, no one lent him a penny.

Faced with this dilemma, even Lawrence finally lost control of his emotions and began to become angry and indifferent.

Seeing his appearance, Holo was worried, but she could not give him any help.

During this period, some merchants even refused to let Lawrence in because he brought a young girl like Holo with him.

Desperate Lawrence became more and more confused and even spoke ill of Holo.

Realizing that she had done something bad, Holo also chose to go back to the tavern in frustration.

In this way, Lawrence spent a night and barely borrowed three gold coins, but this was at the cost of his dignity.

Back at the tavern, he said to Holo helplessly:

"This is the money I raised by my own efforts, only three Lumiones. Although I still have to find a way to raise more than 40 Lumiones, I have no other choice. I want to use this money as capital to make money, but I can't think of any way. The most I can think of is to take this money to the casino.

"But if this money is taken by someone who is qualified, it can be rolled over and over again, so I decided to give the money to you. In addition, if the situation cannot be saved, I will give it to you as travel expenses in the future. At this point, it won't matter if the debt increases by three Lumiones. "

After Lawrence finished speaking, he left the room and even left the tavern.

And just when he wanted to leave, a bag of coins hit his head.

Holo stood at the window and cursed:

"Big donkey, hurry up. "

Seeing this, Lawrence was surprised, but he immediately returned to the room.

The two then talked to each other for a while, and Lawrence hurried to apologize, which made Holo even more dissatisfied. After all, Holo also thought it was her fault.

After talking for a long time, the two finally realized each other's thoughts.

Finally, after reconciling, the two officially began to talk about how to get out of the current predicament.

The plot of this part of the movie "Spice and Wolf" made the audience extremely depressed. Lawrence's experience was extremely real, which made people couldn't help but recall their past.
