Thor smiled mysteriously, as if there was some mockery, he looked in the direction of the Red Rain Forest, and said meaningfully, "What if it's not a goblin, or a human, or even someone he is familiar with?"

Thor waved his hand to stop Gray from speaking, "There are some questions that you will know when you should know!" Thor stopped Gray before he could speak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's the same sentence again.

Gray was stunned, glanced at Thor seriously, pressed the sword on his waist, and asked, "Then will we go back to Heryth City now?" Obviously, Gray knew that he was not the one who led the mission this time, although nominally, he still had to ask Thor for his opinion.

"Let's go to the nearby fortress first, what is it called, it seems to be called the Red Gold Fortress, haha! Fitting enough!" Thor laughed.

Gray nodded, and then he beckoned a cavalryman to come over, and after a few words, the two groups of cavalry quickly left, and the cavalry in charge of reconnaissance would mark the situation on the simple map they carried with them, and they would be more efficient when they acted alone.

------

The Chijin Fortress can only be said to be a camp, and it has not reached the shape of the fortress at all, the city wall is just a simple wooden wall, and there is not even an arrow tower, and the rows of wooden houses inside are like barracks, but a lot of them have been built.

What surprised Gray even more was that there was a small trading market here, with goblins, but these goblins were obviously not the uncivilized goblins in the Red Rain Forest, these were the rich goblins in the Clarkley Islands, and each of them was very well-dressed, even more elaborate than most humans.

No one dared to beat them, their guards were as powerful as their wealth, and they had tamed the Velociraptors of the Clarkley Islands as mounts, armed with steel and a small mechanical crossbow that could be held in bursts.

This kind of crossbow is their biggest reliance, and the human kingdom also has a crossbow that fires continuously, but it is too huge. The human kingdom also thought about making this kind of crossbow, but the accuracy required for the accessories could not meet the requirements, and in the end they had to buy it from these goblins, which made these goblins make a lot of money.

Gray actually saw the dwarves here, their civilization was built deep in the depths of the Lordan Mountains, I heard that the entire mountain range has been hollowed out by them, in the knight class, Gray's tactical instructor once said that the dwarven hoplites are as famous as their forging skills.

Thor obviously knew about the situation here, and he smiled: "It's surprising, isn't it? Actually, everyone has some misunderstandings about the Red Rain Forest, at least before they came into contact with those treacherous goblins in the Krikra Islands!"

"How?" said Gray, frowning slightly.

"Those red rain trees used to be of little use, their wood was too soft to build houses, not suitable for shipbuilding, not suitable for just making arrows and weapons, its greatest use was to use it as firewood!" Thor said slowly.

Gray nodded, he had read all of these from the literature, he had learned some things about the Red Rain Forest when he received this mission, but obviously he didn't have an in-depth understanding, and for a knight who was targeted by the captain of the Knight Guard, the other colleagues obviously didn't think to take the initiative to say anything to him.

"It's used for firewood, and it's being used by goblins!" Thor clearly had some sense of the ingenuity of the Clarkley Islands, though he didn't like goblins a little.

"Do you know the western realm of our human kingdom?"

Gray nodded: "Of course I know, the current Grand Duke is Rick Mikla, the successor to the title of Grand Duke Mikla, I heard that he grew up in the royal capital since he was a child, and he has been in the same cavalry regiment with the current King Laubert for more than ten years, and the relationship is very good, and it is rumored that they are like brothers!"

Saul laughed, his smile was always like a mockery: "Brother, who knows, the king's brother is not so easy to do, but I heard that in the enthronement war of King Laubert, Grand Duke Mikra killed his father, seized the title, and then led the army to King Laubert, so that Laubert won the throne, he is a patricide!"

Gray frowned, he had heard of Grand Duke Mikla as an upright and honorable lord.

Thor said goodbye: "Okay, let's not talk about these things for now. After sorting out his thoughts, Thor continued: "The western region has been in the cold for many years, and it needs to consume a lot of charcoal, and this red rain tree makes charcoal more easily ignited, and it also has a trace of aroma, and the most important thing is that it is basically smokeless, which makes those nobles in the western realm love it very much!"

"Then the dwarves are here to buy charcoal, too!" asked Gray again.

Thor nodded: "Of course, the charcoal we have here is mainly for the goblin merchants in Clarkley, and they give a price that is even better than the profit we can sell to the West, I think they should have sold some of this charcoal to the orcs, there are too many gold mines on the orc's side, so they must have made a lot of money this time! And the dwarves are born to deal with goblins, thinking that they are too treacherous and greedy, and they are unwilling to trade with them, so they come all the way to buy them, and they are stubborn enough." ”

It's stubborn enough, they cost more to run back and forth like this than to buy it from goblins, but dwarves are such characters, but they are not stupid, and if you naively think that dwarves are easy to deceive, then you will definitely be very unlucky.

"The charcoal produced by the Red Rain Tree can burn faster and the temperature is higher, otherwise the dwarves would not have traveled so far, but its disadvantage is that it is consumed too quickly!" Thor chuckled and continued, "But for the Count and the goblins, this is not a disadvantage, after all, the Red Rain Tree is opening too fast! The West, the Dwarves, and the Orcs have too many iron, silver, and gold mines, oh shit! those goblins make too much money!"

Gray nodded, Thor spoke quickly, it was a bit noisy, but fortunately Gray's hearing was excellent, and Thor spoke loudly, his voice attracted the attention of a large number of goblins, Thor looked back contemptuously between Gray and the cavalry.

Gray looked at the well-dressed goblins in the bazaar, not jealous of their wealth, they were able to be popular because of their low profits, but their ability to trade between various races was their advantage. They are greedy, but they dare to show the world their greed, they are treacherous but at the same time honest.

This is how they were able to make a name for themselves for their commercial trade on the continent of Ailan for hundreds of years.

"You're bringing me to see the trading market here?" asked Gray curiously.

Thor shook his head and said, "Of course not, this place will soon become a real fortress, you will know about his existence sooner or later, we are here to complete the last mission of this trip, to escort some of the Earl's cargo to Fort Herynn." ”

Gray wouldn't be stupid enough to ask what the cargo was.

Now Gray finally knows why the villages near the Red Rain Forest are not relocated, and sure enough, in the eyes of those big people, these people are nothing, they don't care what kind of price their subordinates will pay for their orders or decisions, what they care about is the actual benefits they can get.

Looking at the busy crowd, Gray looked up in the direction of Herion City.
