Gavin smiled bitterly and said: "I have already felt this kind of pressure, you look outside the manor, in just one night, all kinds of wild meat have been piled up." ”

They were in the manor last night, having a feast.

The wolf subordinates led by the dog demon are not idle.

Under the command of the dog demon, dozens of wild wolves chased and intercepted the wild animals in the vineyard.

At the end of the night, the harvest was amazing.

There are more than a dozen wild boars, hundreds of hares, and no less than three hundred voles, all of which are fat and round, and voles have catties, not to mention wild boars and hares.

And that's just the wildlife that lives here.

When the grapes are ripe, it's sure to become a wildlife mecca.

They were going to have a special war to fight, and before that, Gavin needed to be well prepared.

"It's not entirely bad, either." Elder Dennis smiled and said, "On the Ashaba River, there is a large tribe of halflings, they arrive here every year on the eve of grape ripening, and stay here for nearly two months. ”

"Halfling Traveling Tribe? Ha...... That's a good thing, and I'm fighting for a new employment agreement with them. Gavin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Just when Gavin wanted to learn more about the situation of this halfling traveling tribe.

The dog demon rushed in again in a hurry, and reported: "My lord, a large fleet of ships has appeared on the river, and it is preparing to dock. ”

"This person is most afraid of chattering, we just talked about them here, I didn't expect them to come, calculate the time, just right, after all, the time for the lord to obtain the ownership of the manor is too short, they probably don't know yet, thinking that this is still a borderless land, come and prepare in advance." Elder Dennis spoke beside him.

"Would you like to go and have a look?" Gavin offered to make an offer.

"Forget it." Dennis shook his head and said with a smile, "Your Excellency should know our habits, we prefer to be on the sidelines rather than direct contact, we know them, but they don't necessarily know about us. ”

"Okay, then I won't greet you, I'll go over there and have a look, you feel free, just treat this place as if it were your own home."

"We've been bothering here for a while, so we won't continue to bother, and in terms of manpower, we also need to adjust the deployment." Dennis suggested, "If the lord can really hire these halflings, it's best to plan the area in charge."

It is best to divide the area in charge of halflings and spirits, after all, many of us are too shy to deal with other intelligent races.

If you don't grasp the scale of jokes, it is easy to cause unnecessary conflicts. ”

"Okay, I'll take notice." Gavin nodded in agreement.

Although he has the heart, he will create a country of many races and harmonious development.

But something, already ingrained, is not so easy to break.

If it is forcibly integrated, it will only create more problems.

Even if it is Spring Bud, the relationship with Dragon Oak is so close.

The elves and kobolds still run their own ways, and only when they have to cooperate will they get together.

A lot of things need to be done gradually.

This time, Gavin didn't greet Virginia, but rode himself on the Dog Demon and headed straight for the Ashaba River.

Standing on the third floor of the Vizeme estate, you can look down on the Ashaba River from the back window.

In fact, the distance between the two sides is not close, at least two kilometers to the river.

These two kilometres are fertile low-lying river flats, which also belonged to the Vizeme estate, which in its heyday was once filled with a variety of crops for self-sufficiency.

It is not completely barren, and there is still a lot of land that is still full of crops, but it is like the hair on the top of the head of a leper, sparse, east and west.

At a glance, you can see that it is not intensive cultivation, but the kind of extensive cultivation, and as soon as the seeds are sprinkled on the ground, they are ignored.

At this time, the barley wheat has already begun to sprout, and by the time the grapes are finished, they can be harvested here.

These halflings came at the right time, and it is likely that the land here is cultivated by them.

The Grim River, the Sambo River and the Ashaba River, where the three rivers meet, all merge into the Ashaba River.

As a result, the amount of water has increased greatly, forming a water area of considerable scale, the kind that cannot be seen as far as the eye can see, although it cannot be compared with Lake Sebe in the deep forest valley, but it is one of the best in the valley where lakes are scarce.

The name of this lake is very interesting, it is called Yavon Pond.

It is so named because it was once wrapped in the Yevon forest and looked like a large pond in the forest.

Even if the area has expanded dozens of times compared to the beginning, this name is still used.

From afar, you can see colorful flags fluttering on the lake, and countless boats are converging on the shore.

The size and specifications of these ships are very uniform.

It's the kind of flat house, the boat is not very small, but the houses on the boat are small and exquisite, and if an adult goes up, even if he is hunched over, it is difficult to pass through, and he must climb.

A small figure is running around on the flat house, beckoning to each other the familiar boats, leaning close to each other, and then using ropes to tie the boats together.

It won't be long before a boat village will take shape here.

As the name suggests, a halfling is half the height of a human being.

This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

Halflings are generally between 80 centimeters and 1 meter tall, and it is very rare to be more than 1 meter, just like the two-meter height in humans.

Halflings are an independent race that will not be confused with gnomes as long as they are seen by those who have seen them.

Gnomes are somewhat deformed like a tall race like humans, with relatively large bodies, but their hands and feet are relatively short, and they are relatively wide, which is also the origin of their name.

Halflings are the ones whose overall proportions are reduced and very well-proportioned, and from a distance, they will be mistaken for human children.

Halflings are an important part of the intelligent race of Faerun, except for the Halfling Kingdom established by the Halflings in Lulun in the south, there are few halflings in other regions that have their own cities, and even a fixed society.

Most halflings have wanderlust, especially those in the north, which is particularly serious, they do not like to live in one place, permanently, but live in caravans, wandering from one city to the next and the next.

Their easy-going nature, small height and legendary luck make them very adaptable, and they are not easily attracted to the attention and hostility of the taller ones, and they are more than happy to accept the employment of the taller races, earn commissions from them, or pay for their labor with real estate.

When there is no more suitable work for them in this village or city in a short period of time, it will also be the moment when they pack up their caravan and set foot on the next city.

This unique way of life makes them a perfect fit in the human society of Faerun, especially Tesser, who has a very large proportion of halflings, and one out of ten intelligent lives will be halflings.

Gavin, who was riding a dog demon, did not mean to hide his whereabouts.

By the time he was observing the halfling fleet from the shore, the halflings had already spotted him.

It's hard to find out, after all, the size of the dog demon is there, and it's not much smaller than their flat house.

On the side of the halfling fleet, there was clearly a commotion.

And reacted quickly, more than a dozen small kayaks were put into the water, one for each person, and a dozen halflings dressed as warriors rushed towards the shore.

But only half of them went ashore, and the other half were still in the water, guarding the kayak.

There were six halflings, trotting all the way towards where Gavin was.

As soon as he heard of their wandering habits, Gavin had already concluded that this halfling was a light-footed halfling, and seeing their light and vigorous steps after coming ashore, he was even more sure of this.

The six light-footed halflings stopped in the distance, and the halfling led by them said in a loud voice: "We are the halflings of Anbao Boat Village, and the Yewen Pond is the summer resting place of our Boat Village for many years, I don't know what to call adults?" What can I do for you? ”

It's also a small-sized race, but racial ability determines their completely different attitudes.

Gli Spirits are born with invisibility abilities, which can allow them to avoid most dangers, and will only appear in front of creatures who want to befriend, so even in the face of powerful dog demons, they still do not hesitate.

Because they have enough confidence, it's a big deal to leave.

Halflings are different, they are able to survive in a world full of powerful races, relying not only on caution, but also on a gentle attitude and compromised means.

Gavin jumped off the dog demon and waved his hand to drive it away before replying, "Please rest assured, I have no ill intentions, if it is convenient, please come close to talk, or I can go over." ”

The six halflings discussed with each other for a moment, and finally chose to lean forward slowly, the other party had already released a signal of goodwill, and they had to respond.

These six halflings are all standard halflings, more than ninety centimeters in size, less than one meter.

From a distance, it looks like a human child, and when you get closer, you can recognize it at a glance.

Because normal human children will not have such bumpy muscle contours, let alone long beards, although only very sparse kinds.

Their skin is dark, and their bare feet and hands are larger than those of ordinary halflings, which is caused by living on the surface of the water all year round.

After the two sides were more than ten meters apart, Gavin introduced himself: "I am the new owner of the Vizeme Manor, and I am the new owner of this place, I have heard about the employment agreement between you and the previous owner of the manor, and I want to re-sign the corresponding agreement with you, win-win cooperation, and take what you need." ”

The six halflings glanced at each other, and they seemed to be able to see the helplessness in each other's eyes, a borderless land, suddenly becoming a mastered land, was the most troublesome thing for them, the uninvited guests.

They originally planned to disrupt it all.

They are not yet clear about the temperament of the new owner.

If it's the kind of people, it's better to say something, it's nothing more than to put in more labor in exchange for the corresponding reward, which is what they often do.

If it is that kind of evil, it is not only a matter of working in vain, but even in terms of safety, there is not much protection.

The halfling man who was still the leader spoke: "It turned out to be the new owner of the Vizeme Manor, disrespectful and disrespectful, we live on the water all the year round, the news is relatively closed, I don't know what is going on here, I haven't been able to prepare a gift in advance, so I will visit your territory, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

"Those who don't know are not guilty, what's more, it has been less than ten days since we reopened the Vizeme Manor, not only you don't know, but in the entire Battle Valley, few people know." Gavin suddenly missed Darnell a little.

This matter is handled by a paladin, so I am afraid that there is no need to spend more words.

Don't look at the other party, what you say and believe, I guess I'm still muttering in my heart.

In Feeron, the establishment of diplomacy in strange relationships is primarily a matter of trust.

This is true of the spirits, and the same is true of the halflings.

When it was discovered that these halflings were still very wary, they swallowed back a series of agreements that had originally reached their mouths, and changed them into invitations, "The problem on the manor side has been resolved, Ms. Esteller and Miss Amanda have been resurrected, and I, as the lord of the manor, invite your leader to come and visit and discuss the matter of hiring, our manor's winemaking industry is reopened, and we need your assistance very much." ”

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
