"My companions live in the big house at the edge of the village, and if the tide of beasts comes, they will come to you. Eddie said, leaving the shop with Nightstar and heading back to the residence.

"You just ...... Why did you make such a strange pact with the old man?" the night star listened in a daze;

Obviously, Eddie and the old man didn't know each other, and Eddie hadn't been to the forest to investigate;

This agreement ...... Where did it come from?

"To sneak into the city, of course. Eddie sighed, "No way, although it's usually a good thing to be handsome, it's too conspicuous at this time...... In case the news of Baron Wolf's subordinates, Viscount Coldcone has already received it, it will be in big trouble if it is discovered by the guards here...... You have to take advantage of the special circumstances to sneak into the city. ”

"Do you mean the beast tide attack?" Nightstar didn't understand even more, "Is this ...... How can it be deduced?"

"You must have heard about my conversation with the hunters in Kaede Town before. Add patiently explained to Nightstar, "Remember the incident of the Darkcloud Pony's large-scale attack on Maple Town some time ago, right?"

"Naturally, I remember. Nightstar nodded.

"Do you know where the main locations of those Darkcloud Ponies are?"

Nightstar was stunned—the confusion on her face was like asking a liberal arts student what the Lagrange theorem was;

"Actually, they are mostly active in the forests between Maple Town and Steelwood City. Add continued, "And do you know what the predators of the Darkcloud Pony are?"

Obviously, the liberal arts student didn't understand the Schrödinger equation either.

"The main predator of the Dark Cloud Pony is a kind of Demonic Beast Sharp-toothed Wolf, which is also of the Black Iron Rank, and they are small and agile, and they will often hunt larger Demonic Beasts in groups, or scatter to hunt weaker Demonic Beasts...... Now that there's no Darkcloud Pony left in the forest, what will they do?"

"I guess I'm going to hunt other creatures to survive?" replied Nightstar tentatively;

"That's right, since these wolves want to live, they must eat, either this monster or that...... However, the Darkcloud Pony in the forest has lost two batches in a very short period of time, so they are bound to face a shortage of food. Add noticed that Nightstar's expression had gradually brightened,

"So, you must know the reason why the beast tide attacked the village, right?"

“...... Because of hunger, right?" Nightstar seemed to understand Add's reasoning.

"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have risked their lives to attack the village, and according to the experience of the old hunters, when there is a relative shortage of food in the forest, there will inevitably be a beast tide. Eddie continued, "And this time limit ...... It's actually very fast. ”

"I see...... Then you will be able to enter Steelwood City at a very low cost!" Nightstar nodded repeatedly;

In the past few days, she has also known how exaggerated Eddie's "savings" are.

"At that time, there may be a lot of monsters attacking, after all, after the fanged wolf changes its prey, other beasts in the forest will also face a crisis of food shortage......" Eddie glanced at the direction of the forest, "This beast tide may last longer than the previous beast tide......"

After all, there was a shortage of food inside the forest before, and this time ...... It is "made" by man.

"I know you have a 'money-saving' mind, but why did you choose that old man instead?" Nightstar frowned, "Speculate in a more offensive way...... What if he doesn't keep his agreement with you and temporarily raises the price?"

"Look at the face. Eddie replied jokingly.

“...... Huh?" the logical Lord Eddie suddenly made such an unreliable remark that made Nightstar stunned again;

"Of course, that's not reliable...... I think it's his family's business that needs to be noted. Eddie continued, "Meat is a thing that can easily spoil if not made properly, and hunters need to make a short decision about which merchant to sell;

The old man is still able to have so much stock at this age, so naturally honesty comes first, don't you see that the stock of jerky from several other vendors along the way is far less than this one?"

"Your consideration is so meticulous...... "Nightstar's eyes are full of respect, "It's really admirable!"

"It's just some basic logic. Add waved his hand, "Alright, let's wait for the Grey Wrist to come back from the hunt...... Ah, by the way, you can also make up something with Orange Wind to sell? Idle anyway, or go to the forest to hunt monsters and complete the commission? I feel like this will make money faster. ”

"Everything comes as you want. Nightstar nodded, and followed Add back to his temporary home, where Greywrist should be returning soon.

[Sensing a change in the world line, causal point 10.] 】

Orange Wind was weaving baskets in the room at this moment, and the girl's hands trembled slightly when they saw the two of them talking and laughing......

Not long after the two of them returned to their lodgings, Grey Wrist returned with two rabbits in high spirits, and the old man was full of praise for the convenience and precision of the crossbow, and it was easy to shoot small animals;

He also came back with some firewood, and since there was no pot here, he had to roast it on the fire.

"Orange Wind. Looking at Orange Wind, who had already made two wooden baskets, Eddie motioned for her to take them out and sell them...... You can go to the hotel and buy a side dish and come back, and bring back four more black loaves of bread by the way. ”

Orange Wind came back a little faster than Eddie had expected - Yan Ling also had an advantage in selling things, not to mention that the little girl's craftsmanship was not bad, and by the time she returned, the rabbit had already been dealt with.

Orange Wind, who came back with black bread and a serving of greens, seemed to have a particularly appetite, and had a posture of losing money if he didn't eat much......

"Everything that needs to be done in the morning has been done. Eddie wiped the oil from his mouth, "Change your plan in the afternoon, let's go hunting in the forest together...... It's okay to go a little deeper, it's okay to destroy a monster. ”

Add felt that he had to lead the three of them into the forest himself to be safe.

After lunch, Add generously let the three of them take a nap for a while, and when he woke up, he left the room with the three of them, preparing to head in the direction of the forest—

However, from time to time people dressed as hunters on the other side of the forest came back to the village, and their faces were not very good......

Eddie knew very well that these people would not go out of their way to go back to the village for a lunch break.

"Brother, why did you come back so early today?" Eddie asked a hunter who was kind to him;

“...... Hurry home and pack up and get ready to hide in the city!" the hunter glanced at Add, not in the slightest hint of stopping

"Something isn't quite right with the Monster...... I don't know when the beast tide is coming!"

Add looked at Nightstar, frowning......

Still, it's pretty fast.
