Chapter 108: The Troubles of Happiness
"I've heard a lot of people talk about it lately." Karsa didn't think much of it, "I also heard that you recently set up a Thousand Heads Trading Company to carry out trade business with this kobold tribe, and I heard that you have made a lot of money for this, but you haven't thought about it, you are playing with fire by doing this.
Once this kind of monster tribe sits big, gushes out of the rocky land, and invades the surrounding area, how will you deal with yourself in the future? Is there still a place for you to stand in the surrounding cities? β
"You can't hide anything from the master." Bader hurriedly explained: "The Black Well Kobold tribe that trades with us is not a kobold tribe in the ordinary sense, and their leader is a human ...... Uh, a half-elf who once traded with us and was a trusted companion, and now that the tribe was firmly under his control, he was determined to transform the rocks with kobolds. β
"Whew! What a big breath. Karsa sneered, "With his own strength, transforming the rockland, and using alien races, I can only say that your brother is not only naΓ―ve and cute, but also delusional, if he really succeeds, not only the Red Crow Mercenary Regiment, but even Cormier's Purple Dragon Legion, the War Mage Legion, and even the entire Obaiszir royal family will become the biggest laughing stock in the world." β
Bader nodded in agreement and said: "It turns out that the master also thinks so, we have persuaded Brother Gavin on this matter, but he is very insistent on this matter, we are also young people, have ideas, let him go and break through by himself, and when he touches a bag, he will naturally turn back."
It's just that I didn't expect that he really opened up a small situation in the rock with his own strength, which can let us see the return profit.
In this case, can we not have a little expectation?
The quality of the iron ore in the rock has always been no worse than that in the Moon Sea area, the difficulty is that there are many monsters, there has been no way, large-scale mining, if we can use the hands of kobolds to change this situation, at least in terms of iron ore, we no longer have to be coerced by the group of evil people in the Santalin Society.
As for rushing out of the rocky ground for disaster, I think the master is too worried.
Cormier is now at the height of his prime, with the wise rule of King Ahsan, the loyal support of the nobles, the strength of the Purple Dragon Legion, and the dedication of the war mages.
We didn't go into the rocks, not because we didn't have the ability, but because the rocky terrain was too complicated, and the monsters fled when they heard the wind, and it was not suitable for large-scale farming, so we couldn't move a large number of residents into it, and in the end it was just a waste of money and labor.
If those stupid people really dare to fight, I don't think they even need the regular army, just a purple dragon patrol can completely defeat them, after all, they are just a group of kobolds. β
Bed's analysis is not incomplete, from the value of the rock itself, to Cormier's own national strength, to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, it can be said that it is comprehensive.
Hearing this, Khalsa couldn't help but nod his head again and again, and on his serious face, he couldn't help but show a smile, the invisible compliment is the most deadly, after all, he is a war mage, and he empathizes with Cormier's praise.
Carlsa couldn't help but glance Beder up and down and said, "I'm afraid these words didn't come from your mouth, although your belly is big, you can't hold such a good thing." β
Bader was stunned for a moment, Khalsa's question was a bit beyond his expectations, his mind was racing quickly, and finally he generously admitted: "I can't hide anything from Master Khalsa, I'm here, I'm just parroting, this analysis is the analysis of the Gavin brother in the rocks." β
Even if he gave Bader ten more dares, he would not dare to lie in front of a powerful mage, and the wisest choice was to tell the truth.
Carlsa smiled meaningfully: "You, Brother Gavin, are not ordinary people, just rushing to the above analysis, I am interested in meeting this person, this trip, you are not just to send me Harpy eggs, right?" β
Under Khalsa's deep gaze, the sweat on Bed's chubby forehead couldn't help but bubble out, he didn't have a strong relationship before, and the other party always gave him a feeling of confusion, but now when it comes to business, the other party's shrewdness and strength are not the same thing at all.
It is not a fluke that Carlsa can have a very high status in the Red Crow Mercenary Group, but it is well deserved, but it is ridiculous that before he came, he actually thought that even if he couldn't play the other party between the metacarpal bones, he could at least fight for a few rounds without being defeated.
In the end, Bader smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is my fault, I shouldn't go around in circles with the master, that's right, my trip is indeed not just to send the harpy eggs to the master, or the last time I had a misunderstanding with the Red Crow Mercenary Group, my brother is relatively deep-minded, worried about causing unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts." β
Khalsa looked solemn and said, "What? Those four idiots, can't you go to your brother's trouble afterwards? β
"No, not really." Bader hurriedly explained, "The Red Crow Mercenary Regiment has signed a contract with the royal family to clean up the rocks, which is a well-known thing in the world, and my brother, who is leading a group of kobolds, has to think a little more in advance. β
Karsa's expression softened a lot, and he gently stirred his coffee and said: "If your brother is really dedicated to developing the rock field, he can dig out enough iron ore from it and dig out enough profits, I dare not guarantee anything else, as long as his kobold does not take a step in the rock field, no one will go to the rock field to find trouble for him, the Red Crow Mercenary Group will not, and the Purple Dragon Army will not either." β
It's not like a person like Bader who doesn't understand politics at all.
Not only did Khalsa promise that the Red Crow Mercenary Group would not look for trouble, but even the Purple Dragon Legion brought it with him, so the nature was completely different.
Gavin is tantamount to obtaining one, unofficial official certification.
What made Bader excited, except for thanking him again and again, didn't know what to say, this was a proper windfall.
Karsa took a sip of coffee and said, "I'm very interested in that Gavin brother of yours right now, when, let him come to Abel, we can have a good exchange, if he is not available, I can go to the rocks." β
This is an informal invitation.
"I will definitely convey Master Karsa's invitation, and I believe that Brother Gavin will also be very much looking forward to the official meeting with the Master." At this moment, Bader was eager to put on his wings and fly back to the rocks to tell Gavin the news.
"We're done talking about the idle things, isn't it time to talk about our business."
Bader slapped his head heavily and hurriedly apologized: "Look at my brain, I actually forgot about this, I asked them to send the Harpy's eggs." β
"How do you calculate the price?"
"The master has already helped us a lot, why are you embarrassed to accept money, these four harpy eggs are given to the master for free." Bader is also a heroic master, as soon as he changed hands, he gave a big gift of 16,000 gold coins, but he promised the other party, and this gift was worth it.
"If that's the case, I won't look at the goods, where did they come from, and where will they be sent back." Karsa didn't accept this, once he accepted the Harpy Egg, the nature of the whole thing changed, "If you still treat me as a friend, as long as the Harpy Egg is real and active, I will take five thousand one." β
"Deal." Bader also knew that what he was doing was a bit of a fierce wave, and that gift-giving was not his way of giving.
Five thousand gold coins is considered the average market price, and he didn't make a big profit, and Karsa didn't lose a lot, so everyone was happy.
Gavin didn't know that Bader was so powerful that he had solved a big worry for himself, and was taking the young dragon Ewentha to recruit kobolds all over the world.
Only this time, it was no longer Gavin urging Evantha that was urging, it was the young dragon urging him.
Gavin was too successful in brainwashing the young bronze dragon, and she is now determined to become the queen of kobolds and lead them to an earth-shattering career.
As for how to do the business, don't worry about it for now, at least the number of kobolds should be enough, the more the better.
Not to mention anything else, at the very least, it looks imposing enough and pompous.
When I held a concert by myself, there were enough kobolds below to applaud me.
Gavin is now in the throes of bliss.
The kobolds were growing so fast that the food supply was under pressure and had to tighten their belts to meet some of the needs from the rocks themselves.
Fortunately, it is now the height of summer, everything grows, and all kinds of wild vegetables and wild fruits in the rocky fields are a bit exaggerated, but at least it is not difficult to obtain.
Don't forget, without Gavin's intervention and the food imported from outside, these kobold tribes are self-sufficient in the rocks, but now the population is too concentrated, and most of the kobolds have been transferred to mining by Gavin.
Now that the population is rich, it is natural to organize special hunting and gathering teams to supplement the family.
"That's all for today, calculate the time, those dragon seekers should wake up in the last day or two." Gavin deftly diverted the young bronze dragon's attention.
"Didn't you say that it would take nearly ten days for the Dragon Seeker to wake up, and that it would take so long?" The young dragon, who was a little excited, did not notice the passage of time.
"Today is already the seventh day, some of those who woke up early, it is estimated that they will wake up today, and those who have taken the fire dragon dragon blood potion should last longer." Gavin had been counting the dates, and he had already seen the kobold who had unlocked the dragon-seeking ability.
But after taking the fire dragon dragon blood potion, the kobold who opened the dragon hunting ability, he hadn't seen it yet, and he wanted to know what the effect of this dragon blood potion was.
"Huh! Turns out we're all here. Evantha grinned and said, "Gavin, Gavin, come with me, I'll take you to see a fun place, forget it, it's too slow, I'll take you up." β
"What's the fun?" Gavin asked curiously, expertly gripping the ring on Evanthor's front paws.
The rings on the young dragon's front paws are specially customized, making it easy for Gavin to grasp and fly with him.
This was not brought up by Gavin, but the young copper dragon couldn't stand Gavin's speed on the ground, and took the initiative to propose it.
Although it is said that for the young red bronze dragon, carrying Gavin into the air is considered a heavy load, and the speed is only sixty percent of the usual, but how can it fly and walk in a straight line, for the complex terrain such as rocks, this is the best way to hurry.
"You'll know when you come up." Avantha sold the guanzi.
Although the young red bronze dragon is not very old, she is an out-and-out earth snake in the rocky land, in her own words, she was born and raised here, and the young red dragon Roderick is the intruder.
She knows all the ditches and holes in the rocky field.
In the past few days, she has been walking around with Gavin a lot, and she has indeed found a lot of interesting attractions and areas in her self-amusing spots, but it is a little far away from the Eagle Cliff Cave and the Black Well, and in a short period of time, he will not be able to develop here.
Evantha walked to the top of a cliff, landed on a rock with a wide view, and said to Gavin with a smug face: "Look here, is the scenery beautiful?" Hey...... When did the war start here? β
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
