Chapter 34: The Truck Grave
This side effect has become the label of Anna's concoction potion.
But in the wilderness where there is no village and no shop, it is already a great happiness to have enough healing potions to use, where can I pray for more?
Those who poured Anna's healing potion often roared wildly and threw themselves into battle with red eyes.
Those who know the situation know that this is the user's use of the battle to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in the body.
Those who don't understand the situation still think that the other party has entered a state of rage, and many monsters are stunned for a while, and some even turn around and run away in fright.
This incident became a joke in the caravan, and those familiar guards, while teasing Anna with this, bought more healing potions from her.
Anna, who is kind-hearted, apologizes vigorously and offers them a discount, or gives them a few more bottles of healing potions.
Halfway through the journey, Anna earned herself an old wagon and most of the wagon, all sorts of odds and bits and pieces, and became a member of the caravan, much to Gavin's surprise.
You say that the young pastor will do business, her heart is not black enough, and she will give it away for free at every turn, and it stands to reason that it won't be long before even if there is a mountain of gold at home.
You say she doesn't know how to do business, she is now a serious merchant and owns a wagon of goods, which is something he and Vic have not done after walking half of Ferron.
"Big deal, Mr. Gavin, Mr. Gavin, I found ...... A big deal was found. Anna yelled as she ran, dragging Gavin out of her trance.
Anna's half little head came in from behind the curtain of the carriage, her round face was flushed, and the blonde hair on her forehead ran out again, shaking mischievously, and her big eyes sparkled with excitement.
The young pastor was abducted by those profiteers, and became addicted to business, and wherever she went, she also recited business scriptures.
"What's the big deal?" Given the strange luck shown by the teenage priest, Gavin was patient, ready to hear what she was reading again.
"Hey...... "Hey," said the young pastor before she could begin to say herself, she was amused, "I found out on my own." ”
"Well, what did you find?" Gavin induces questioning, otherwise this silly girl in a state of excitement can count you from head to foot.
"Van...... Scrapped trucks...... The lizardmen tribe that was trading with Uncle Bader and them had a lot of scrap trucks piled up inside...... I inquired and the price was very cheap...... We can afford to buy them all...... When the time comes, Mr. Goblin and I, we will be able to restore it with repair, and it won't be long before we have a fleet! "Anna is learning and selling.
When the old carriage arrived in their hands, it was basically impossible to walk, and it took Anna and Vic three repairs to get it moving again, and then five more repairs to restore it to ninety percent of its condition.
The merchant who sold it to them saw that the cost of repairing the carriage was too great, and there were many places where Gavin and them were used on the road, so it was better to take a personal favor and sell it to Anna half-sold and half-gifted.
Otherwise, do you really think that it was the innocence and kindness of the young pastor that moved those black-hearted businessmen and made them embarrassed to pit her?
Anna hasn't been sold yet, everything is based on the strong force they have shown, especially the goblin warlock Vic, a spellcaster who has mastered the three-ring fireball technique, is still very intimidating.
And Vic is obedient to Gavin, saying that he is not a slave, his words and deeds, how he looks like it, which makes those well-informed old fritters a little confused about Gavin's bottom, thinking that he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he will be close if he can get close, and he will not be easily provoked at all, let alone take the initiative to test his bottom line.
"What are we going to do with so many trucks?" This time it was Gavin's turn to keep up with Anna's train of thought.
"Sell for money, a well-made truck, worth at least three hundred gold coins, buy it from those lizardmen, don't even use three gold coins, this is a hundred times the profit!" Anna's little abacus snapped.
"This is the account, but have you thought about transportation? Not to mention, how long does it take to repair them, but how much does it cost to repair them and transport them? The second half of our road will be more and more difficult to walk, especially after entering the rocky terrain, most of which are rough and difficult mountain roads, and it will be difficult for a single horse to carry a car, and we will only have three people, three horses, and at most one more wagon.
Uncle Bedde's gang, the master who can fry every bone to make oil, if there is really a hundredfold profit in the business, it will be eaten and wiped clean long ago, and it will be waiting for you to find out.
If my guess is correct, this is probably this trade road, the well-known graveyard of trucks, whether it is eastward or westward, and when you walk here, the wear and tear of the trucks will be very serious, and some of them will have to be abandoned, or they will be found here to find replacement parts, and they will be reluctantly repaired before they are on the road. ”
Gavin went down several basins of cold water in a row, and Anna, who was originally in high spirits and thought that she had found a great treasure, suddenly became like a frosty eggplant.
"What are you doing in a daze?" Gavin beckoned to Anna.
"What are you going to do?" Anna asked weakly.
"Look at the treasure you find." Gavin said with a smile.
"Mr. Gavin is making fun of me again." Anna's small mouth can hang a soy sauce bottle when she pouts.
"I'm the most serious person, when did I ever make fun of you?" Gavin explained with a smile, "This is indeed a treasure, after all, the value of the truck is there, but with our current ability, we can't dig this treasure, it doesn't mean that we won't be able to dig it in the future, take advantage of the now, let's evaluate it first." ”
"It's you who says it's worthless, and it's you who says it's valuable, inside and out, and you take advantage of everything." Anna grunted quietly as she kicked the mud at her feet.
"What did you say?" Gavin pretended not to hear her complaints.
"Nothing." Anna said in a long voice, "I said that Mr. Gavin is so clever and thinks about everything so well, come with me, it's not far ahead." ”
Anna walked forward with Gavin, one foot deeper, one foot at a shallow foot, avoiding the puddles as much as possible, no one knew if it was a swampy quagmire, and they were now on the periphery of Thun's swamp.
This is the second day they have been here, and here they will stay for at least another three days.
The lizardman village they parked in called Midorisawa had already seen the outline of the town, and the lizardmen here were also inclined to civilization, at least more than most civilizations of the same kind, the first reaction when they saw humans was not to raise their weapons but to communicate through language, and when they saw the caravan, the lizard's face was full of smiles, which were the same as those on the faces of the profiteers.
The news of a large caravan stopping here came to Thun Swamp yesterday, and since this morning, there have been swamp race merchants and even individuals who have come to trade with goods, these swamp races are not limited to lizardmen, but also frogmen, ghost women, kobolds, goblins, crocodile people, and so on.
Since all intelligent races will have trade needs, merchants who wander in the monster jungle will generally prepare for both.
If those monsters come with swords and malice, they will come at each other with their swords.
If they come with goodwill and goods, they will also greet them with smiling faces and goods.
Who to do business with is not to do?
As long as there is a stake, most merchants don't care who they trade with.
They also have their own set of arguments, their trade will maintain a balance between supply and demand, without demand, the aggressiveness of those monsters will be greatly reduced, their caravans will be safer, and the surrounding people will be safer.
Although there is a bit of overexaggeration of his own credit, there is also a bit of crookedness.
