Chapter 59: The Sea (Part II)
Gauss said: "I have the conditions to ......"
I said, "Say it! โ
Gauss said, "Don't tie me up when you go back!" โ
I looked at the others, and they seemed a little hesitant, so they said, "Yes, but you know ......."
Gauss said; "I know you don't worry, I will be conscious, I really can't, you can send someone to guard me!"
I said, "By the way, you killed the brother of the red-maned Gadreel, so, is the brother of the red-maned Gadrel strong?" โ
Gauss said, "Of course, he is the most powerful of the bandits except Gadreel!" โ
I said, "Then how did you kill him?" โ
Gauss said proudly: "Of course it is not besieged like you, I am waiting for him to fall asleep......"
I nodded: "Understood, I'll have two people guarding you, cunning fellow." โ
Gauss said, "Hey, you're deliberately tricking me!" โ
I said, "It's you who admit it." โ
Gauss said, "Do you want me to teach you how to fish?" โ
I said, "Didn't you already say yes?" โ
Gauss said, "I have found that you are not only a minotaur, but also a little more brilliant than other minotaurs...... It's like a goblin! โ
I said, "Of course, the goblins can't even count me...... Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get started, tell me how to do it! โ
Gauss picked up the loophole basket a little frustratedly and said, "Actually, it's very simple, you just need to calculate the direction of these stupid fish, like, just like you hunt on the grassland......"
I picked up a basket and did what he did.
Then, something suddenly occurred to me and asked, "Have you hunted in the steppe?" โ
"Well," said Gauss, "I took part in a hunt in the steppes to the south...... Don't think that the whole grassland is yours, there are also our centaurs in the forests and grasslands further south! โ
I suddenly remembered the dead Leo.
Leo always says that Ian has a problem and that Ian may be bad for the village.
I don't believe his nonsense, but the things he said, put on this Gauss, do have some effect.
This Gauss, sure enough, also hides a secret!
So, I'm going to be vigilant again.
It's been a long time since Leo died.
Although this Gauss has brought a solution to the food crisis in the village, he is a centaur after all, and his words are not very credible.
Of course, compared to Leo, his threat is actually not too big.
In any case, I have to be careful, but more importantly, I have to solve the food crisis in the village, and these fish, shrimp and crabs are exactly what we need.
I stopped talking to Gosto, and concentrated on following his example, and sure enough, I caught a silver-white sea fish the size of a palm.
Soon, I also learned the art of fishing.
Next, I taught others how to fish.
We worked at the beach until the afternoon, catching enough fish, shrimp and crabs to feed everyone for several days.
Then, we took the harvest food and prepared to go back.
Gauss said: "Such a good fishing ground, but unfortunately, if it is not well managed, it is estimated that there will be fewer and fewer catches in the future." โ
I suddenly remembered what my grandfather had said, and said, "I know this, but now there is a drought on the grassland, and many people have nothing to eat!" โ
"Actually, if the centaurs and the minotaurs had united, the drought would not have been so difficult," said Gauss......
I said, "By the way, don't you still have boar people?" โ
Gauss said: "Those stupid things, only robbers will partner with them, and we fishermen on the seashore do not want to pay attention to them!" โ
I said, "But the centaurs and the minotaurs are enemies after all!" โ
"I wonder why we are all part of the orc race," said Gauss, "why are we all part of the orc race, but we are hostile to each other. โ
I said, "What is there to say, it must be hatred!" โ
Gauss said, "If there is hatred, then why do we simply separate and become one orc?" โ
I thought for a moment and said, "After all, we have bigger enemies, such as humans, elves, or whatever......"
"But they are so far away from us," said Gauss...... We haven't seen ...... either."
I said, "You have so many questions, I want to find out if I go to the place where the savannah meets the human race!" โ
Gauss said: "I also have this idea, but unfortunately I am not strong enough, at least, I have to surpass you to reach the level of a furious warrior, and when the time comes, I will go!" I'm going to get to the bottom of it! โ
I said, "I can't see that you still have such lofty ideals!" โ
"Of course," said Gauss, "I am not a villager in a small fishing village, but I aspire to be an adventurer!" Unlike you, you have stayed in your hometown honestly all your life, and you have never even been to the outside world! โ
At this time, the elder brother came up and said, "You are wrong, centaur!" My brother Bihong is the strongest of the young people in the village, and you won't be able to surpass him in the future! Besides, he's going outside, too! โ
Gauss looked at me and said, "Well, with your strength, you really should go out and break through." โ
Then, he looked at his brother again and said, "What about you, you don't envy your brother when you see your brother so promising?" โ
The elder brother said slowly, "Who doesn't want to go out? But someone has to stay behind to protect the homeland, right? Otherwise, the homeland will be destroyed by the four-hoofed robbers......"
Gauss understood what his brother meant, shook his head and said, "Hey, it's hard to convince you......"
I smiled and said, "Okay, even if what you say is true, it's impossible for you to reconcile the centaur and the minotaur by yourself." โ
Gauss said, "What I said is true!" โ
At this time, the people behind suddenly shouted "wow".
When we turned around, we found that the animal skin bag had been punctured by the crab's pincers, and all the crabs inside had fallen out.
Gauss smiled: "Haha, I just said that the crab should be put in a bucket!" Isn't it a problem for yourself to put it in the bag! โ
My brother and I stayed up to help pick up the crabs, and I said, "Don't laugh, come and help!" โ
Gauss smiled and shook his head and came over to help.
That night, we had a full meal.
There are also a few old people who have stomach trouble because they are not used to it, but no one blames or doubts Gauss.
Gauss became a prisoner who could move freely in the village.
In the days that followed, the food shortages caused by the drought were finally resolved.
Although the fish, shrimp and crabs we caught later were really as Gauss said, there were fewer and fewer of them.
However, as winter approached, the drought passed.
An autumn rain with frost heralds the end of two consecutive years of drought.
Gauss, too, spent most of the summer and the whole autumn in the village.
The people who came from Wana Village and other villages also slowly merged into our Vel Village.
During this time, we also distributed a portion of the food to the village of Duodie, but it was all done quietly.
The villages of Duodi and Ville are the only villages that have survived the drought.
In the other villages, many people have moved further north, and the entire town of Sri is about half less populated.
We all knew this news from the goblin merchant before the onset of winter.
This year, we still don't have much to trade with them, but I've learned a lot.
At that time, the drought was over, and an autumn rain poured the land outside the village into mud, and the goblin merchants came to the outside of the village on the mud, and the white bear man bodyguards and kobold guides were covered in mud.
They seemed to have expected that there was not much in the village, so they did not bring a lot of goods, but the food they brought was well protected.
The time for the transaction was also very short, but the chairman of Standard Chartered was still very good at talking and comforting his grandfather: "Elder Tรกr, the drought has passed, next year, everything will be harvested, and when the time comes, we will prepare more goods!" I believe that the warriors of Weil Village will be very satisfied! โ
Grandpa smiled and said, "Of course, President Standard Chartered!" You have also seen the strength of our Weil Village, and in the future, we will send the best goods to Weil Village first! โ
In the midst of the small talk, I interjected: "President Standard Chartered, do you also make a deal with the centaurs on the beach?" โ
The standard chartered president's green face stiffened for a moment, and he continued to smile and say, "Heroic shaman successor Bihong, where did you hear this?" We goblins have some people to deal with centaurs, in fact, our chamber of commerce is spread across the continent and has contact with all races, of course, excluding the undead and demons from the otherworld, who are hostile to all life! However, we goblins are also separated from each other...... Well, to be honest, just like you don't know the people in the distant villages very well, we don't interact with those people very often......"
I know that he is right, after all, goblins are merchants who travel all over the continent, and there are caravans everywhere.
However, I don't think he would have said anything about it, even if he had a deal with the Centaurs.
In fact, in the past few months in the village, almost no one has spoken to him, after all, he is in a hostile position.
So, I don't have to worry about my lies to Gauss โ I'm not really an adult, and I don't have the title of "Blood Hammer".
Anyway, I'll be an adult sooner or later, and the title of Blood Hammer is also very easy to get.
It is also interesting to say that the people in the village feel that Gauss is my captive and my "pet".
After sending off the goblin merchants, I took Gauss and some of the villagers with me to block the secret passage and bury the exit in the forest.
The drought is over, and it's time for Gauss to go.
And I don't know how long it will be before I see the sea.
