Chapter 35: Hire from the Lizardmen

Gavin guessed correctly, there was indeed a truck grave here, and some of the truck skeletons were still very fresh, and it was estimated that they had been discarded for a few months.

Some of them are half sunk into the mud, half rotten, and covered with all kinds of fungi, this kind of thing basically has no repair value, and it is too troublesome to use it as chopping wood.

Some were dismantled, only a skeleton remained, and I don't know if it was dismantled by other caravans or used by nearby lizardmen to be used as firewood.

As a rough estimate, there are at least 100 carts, which have restoration value.

Gavin's eyes suddenly froze, and he suddenly took a step forward, blocking Anna behind him, clenching the hand cannon in one hand and pressing the long sword in the other, and shouted at the distance not far away: "Who, come out!" ”

"Worthy of bravery, alert...... Sizzle...... So high, don't get me wrong, sizzle...... I don't mean anything! A voice rang out from the depths of the wagon's grave, the lingua franca very lame and with a strange syllable, and it was clear that it was not made by humans.

A figure walked out slowly, his whole body was covered with dark green scales, his chest and abdomen were slightly lighter, and a thick tail behind him kept flicking around, and on his lizard-like head, there was no hair, only a clump of sideburns that grew vertically, like a golden flame, golden and red.

The man looked like a large lizard walking upright, more than a human.

The lizardman looked a little older, his body was more eternal, his scales were darker, and his gaze was softer than the other lizardmen, shimmering with mature wisdom.

"Why stalk us without any malicious intent?" Gavin doesn't judge people by their appearance, and he still doesn't mean to let go of his weapon.

"Tracking? No...... No...... Say it's more appropriate to look for ...... Hey, I'm here to find a caravan...... The ...... of the Brave And they said, "You have come here...... Sizzle, I'll come along...... Sizzle, I didn't expect it to cause a misunderstanding. The lizardman hurriedly argued.

Gavin made a rough estimate, the direction of the other party's appearance, and couldn't help but believe a little, when they came, in order to avoid some places that looked more like traps, it was a bit of a detour, the other party was a swamp resident, naturally better understood the situation than them, but it was possible to arrive one step earlier than them.

"What are you looking for from us?" Gavin more or less guessed what the other party meant.

"Hire! I want to hire ...... Brave men, help solve the ...... Sizzle...... Trouble with my tribe...... Sizzle......"

Gavin showed a sure expression, and then bluntly refused: "Sorry, we're not the kind of mercenaries you're looking for, don't take on additional tasks, please find someone else!" ”

The lizardman hurriedly said, "Sizzle...... I know the rules of your bravery...... I'm going to be ready to pay you a lot of money......"

"It's not a matter of money or money." Gavin's attitude is also very resolute, he doesn't want to make a fuss about it now.

"Two brave men, why don't you listen to my request first?" When the lizardman said this, his eyes stayed on Anna, as if he thought Anna was better at talking than Gavin.

"Sorry, not interested, Anna, let's go." This approach of the lizardman backfired, which directly disgusted Gavin, and dragged Anna away.

"Oh!" Although Anna's eyes and expression showed that she was very interested in this matter, but seeing Gavin's resolute attitude, she did not dare to interject, and obediently followed behind, in her eyes, Gavin is a kind and powerful adventurer, since he did this, he must have his own reasons.

The lizardman wanted to follow at first, but seeing Gavinson's cold gaze and the sword that would be drawn at any moment, he wisely stopped and watched them walk away.

"Mr. Gavin, why don't you take his assignment? Aren't you adventurers? Anna eventually couldn't resist her curiosity.

"First of all, something that none of their tribes can solve, it is definitely not a trivial matter, our current strength is still very weak, and we may not be able to help them, secondly, we don't know their tribe, we can't judge the truth of what he said, plus the swamp environment is special, once we go deeper, we find that the task is far beyond our ability, and we can't run." Gavin taught earnestly, "Adventurers, it does not mean ignoring all dangers, moving forward, you must assess the danger of each mission, and your own strength, and do not touch any mission that exceeds your own strength, because it is likely to lead to the destruction of the whole army, and no one will save us at that time." ”

There is another possibility, Gavin did not say.

The quest itself is a trap, and they are the prey.

This doesn't even involve the dark side of human nature, because they are not human beings in the first place, and in the eyes of many lizardmen, human beings are just food, no different from cattle and sheep.

This is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, but can only be experienced by Anna herself in the future.

Anna listened attentively, nodded her head again and again, and couldn't help asking, "Then why don't you listen to what difficulties they encountered?" ”

"Why listen when you have already decided not to take on his assignment? If you hear an extremely tragic story and you can't help them, won't it increase your psychological burden? Gavin dared to guarantee that there would be a tragic story in the mouth of the old lizardman, which was the usual routine.

"I see." Anna nodded, but couldn't help but look back at the old lizardman who had disappeared, she was kind-hearted, but she couldn't help others when they asked for help, and she always felt uncomfortable, even if the other party was not human.

"If you really want to help him, it's not too late to come back when you're strong enough." Gavin was afraid that Anna would have something to do with it, so he gave her an idea that wasn't an idea.

"Okay, I'll get stronger as soon as possible." Anna was finally in a much better mood and clenched her little fist vigorously.

She was pure-minded, and she didn't think about more possibilities.

Time develops, and when she becomes strong enough.

The predicament of this village has either been eliminated, or because of this incident, it has been completely destroyed, and the possibility of waiting for her to come is very small.

These are not Gavin's concerns, life is not going to be as good as it should be, even if it is to live again.

For the next few days, Gavin kept a close eye on Anna's whereabouts, lest the silly girl, with a hot head, run to help the lizardman himself.

Fortunately, she is just kind-hearted, not brain-dead, at least she knows her own pounds, and without Gavin and Vic, she can't help each other at all.

The cunning old lizardman had approached Anna in private and told her the tragic story of his tribe.

Because Anna turned her head, she came back and told Gavin.

The tribe of the old lizardmen, there is a Cato swamp monster living nearby, before he took office, he often used their tribe's people as food, after he took office, he came up with a solution, that is, take the initiative to feed this Cato swamp monster, give him fish, livestock and other meat every month, as long as they meet their own needs, this Cato swamp monster, no longer harass them.

This went on for several years, but the problem was that the Cato swamp monster disappeared for a while, and when it returned, it was already pregnant, and soon gave birth to three cubs.
