Chapter 40 Arrival
After finishing the call, Jose felt quite unhappy. This was the first time that a family member had a little thought.
After thinking for a moment, he felt relieved.
It is normal for merchants to pursue profits. Moreover, the wild boar man and the merchant are not inferior dragon descendants who worship the dragon, nor do they have the desire to be with their own harp. He became a relative more because of the situation.
However, this incident also reminded him that the family contract is not brainwashing. It can largely ensure that the family will not betray, but it cannot guarantee that they will do their best to do their own things.
In order to avoid family members being idle, they have to rely on the combination of reward mechanisms and punishment mechanisms, and combine hardness and softness, so as to form an upward atmosphere within family members and maximize the personal value of family members.
Jose gradually had an idea.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Three days later.
Under the escort of the harem's high altitude reconnaissance, the wild boar merchants took the reorganized caravan and safely passed through the triangle plain and entered the Modo Peak Forest. The strong wild boars were pushing wooden wheelbarrows and lined up in a long line to shuttle through the forest. The heavy wheels pressed out wheel marks in the soft forest.
At the forefront of the team, the wild boar merchant - Hulk looked back at the wheelbarrow convoy containing food, and looked at the seven tauren blacksmiths who were twice as tall as the wild boar. He was proud and turned to the dog-headed man who was ordered to come to lead the way.
"Mr. Ergou, these wheelbarrows are filled with high-quality barley I bought specially, and they are presented to the Lord as gifts... sir," the wild boar man suddenly remembered that Jose had told him that he should not expose his existence, so he quickly changed his words.
"This batch of food is enough for a hundred kobolds to spend the winter safely. Can it make up for the food gap in your tribe?"
"Haha," Ergou continued walking without even looking back.
If it were before, so much food would be enough to make him ecstatic and he would shed tears of gratitude to the wild boar merchants, but now... it is only a small one.
As soon as he thought of this, Ergou felt endless respect and gratitude for Jose, because all this was the change brought by the Red Dragon.
"Thanks to Mr. Hulk for his kindness, the Blood-Tooth Tribe does not lack food."
After a pause, he thought that the wild boar man businessman had a kind heart after all: "However, barley is not here, and the owner must like it very much."
The wild boar man was deeply suspicious of the words of the kobold.
You should know that although the prairie is primitive, there are still commercial activities. The indigenous people of the grassland use animal fur and other specialties to exchange for human food. Although they also go hungry in winter, it is still rare to starve to death.
The dark forest is a real primitive place, dangerous extraordinary beasts, barbaric indigenous tribes, and complex natural environments, which discourage most merchants from the forest.
Every winter, there are many monsters that freeze to death in the forest and starve to death. In severe cases, wars will break out. Regardless of the outcome, there is always something to cook in the pots of both sides after the war.
Is this kobold bragging?
Hulk glanced secretly and saw the calm look of the kobold, which didn't seem to be bragging, and he couldn't help but frown.
He felt something was wrong, and the gift he brought seemed not as precious as he thought.
The reason why he tried to prepare these gifts was because he understood that the last time he made his master unhappy, and was nervous about this meeting, fearing that he would be punished, so he tried his best to please Jose.
He looked back at the middle of the back team. There was a unique wheelbarrow in the middle of the team. Differentiation did not refer to the wheelbarrow itself, but the cargo on the car. Unlike other sacks containing food, the wheelbarrow contained a large box.
Seeing the wooden box, Hulk was much more confident.
"This specialty originated from the deep dark forests, and you would not like it without the Red Dragon."
Under Ergou's leadership, the wild boar men and their team came to the Blood Tooth Mine and came to the expanded cave.
Given that the wild boars could not see things in the dark, Ergou ordered people to install a brazier on the wall at any distance. In the swaying fire, the wild boars caravan pushed the wheelbarrow into the blood-tooth mine cave.
Smelling a strange scent, the wild boar Hulk sniffed: "It smells so good! What oil is in this brazier? Why have I never smelled it?"
"It's worthy of being a well-informed businessman. This is pine oil. We have just used it not long ago."
"Pine oil?" The wild boar businessman was puzzled. He had never heard of the term pine oil: "What is pine oil? Is it a new crop?"
"Emmmm..., it's hard for me to answer your question. I can only tell you that these changes were brought about by that existence."
"I see."
All the strange things are easily accepted when they are associated with the red dragon.
All the way to the No. 1 living area, the goods were left behind, and the members of the accompanying Boar Caravan received the treat from the dogs, while the Boar Merchant and the Taurus blacksmith followed Ergou to the deeper part of the mine.
Through the deep and dark tunnels, the team came to the No. 4 living area.
Crossing a layer of inaccurate magic barrier, Hulk heard the war cry of the soldiers training, and saw hundreds of kowtowed warriors fighting with clothed weapons in the vast cave.
Not a practice! It’s a real fight!
Seeing a dog-headed man hitting his mouth by his opponent's whistling wooden stick, spitting out bloody broken teeth, the newcomer jumped straight.
"Blooding now! It's better than losing your life on the battlefield!"
“…”
"You! Haven't you eaten? Fight hard!"
Bang!
A rudely strong dog-killer wandered around the training ground and found someone lazy and whipped it with a whip.
Seeing his brother passing by, the two brothers nodded slightly and said hello.
After passing through the training grounds of ordinary soldiers, the guests saw a team that was obviously stronger than ordinary dog-headed soldiers. The howling sound of weapons breaking through the air made their scalp numb.
"All of them are formal soldiers!"
"This... there are nearly twenty people!"
"I didn't expect this kowtowish tribe is so powerful! No wonder I had to hire us!"
The tauren blacksmith whispered and whispered.
Hulk's heart was even more shocked, and the assessment of the strength of the Blood-Toothed Dogman was directly improved by a large level.
As a businessman who travels around the world, Hulk is knowledgeable and understands the prerequisites for the large-scale birth of soldiers. It is enough to eat enough food to open your stomach, and it is best to eat meat.
In this era when a considerable number of civilians cannot eat enough, the only ones that can meet this condition are the ruling forces in a certain region. And the kobolds make a living by collecting and hunting. Where can so much food come from?!
After walking for a long time, the team came to the No. 8 living area and saw a dog-headed servant feeding the petrified young lizards in the fence with bright red meat. He was even more stunned.
You should know that petrified lizards are comparable to those of mid-level war vocations as soon as they become adults. If the Blood-Toothed Dog-Toothed Tribe can tame it, then the Blood-Toothed Tribe will be invincible in the Triangle Plain in a few years.
As they entered the tunnel leading to the living area of No. 9, everyone smelled a hot scent of sulfur. Somehow, the burly and majestic tauren blacksmith apprentice, Bi felt uneasy, his heartbeat faster, as if a mouse smelled the breath of a cat.
"Master Hebull, I have an ominous feeling."
