Chapter 37 Rocky Land

The lizard tribe could barely support one Gato swamp monster, and now with three growing cubs, it was getting harder and harder.

The old lizard decided to find a way to solve the problem once and for all before they could cause trouble. The warriors who often passed by Green Village were the solution he thought of.

Anna only found out the first half, not the second half.

The story of this cunning old lizard man was true, but not the whole story. The three little Gato swamp monsters were not born this year or last year, but the year before last. He has been wandering around Green for more than a year, and has fooled no less than four waves of warriors to help their village.

The plight of their village was not solved, but most of those warriors never returned.

Obviously, this cunning old lizard man is now killing two birds with one stone.

If those warriors can solve the Gato swamp monsters, everyone will be happy.

If those warriors cannot solve the Gato Swamp Monster, they will naturally become its food. An adult can basically meet the meat needs of an adult Gato Swamp Monster - the Gato Swamp Monster is an omnivorous creature, and most of the time it feeds on swamp moss and water plants.

The Gato Swamp Monster, which is full, will naturally not bother the lizard tribe again. Not only does it not have to pay the promised heavy money, but it also does not have to pay the meat for the month, and it can even pick up some equipment of those warriors.

Gavin has reason to suspect that even if all the Gato Swamp Monsters are really killed, they may not be able to get the heavy money promised by the old lizard man. They have been exhausted by supporting the Gato Swamp Monsters for many years. Where does the heavy money come from?

After they eliminate the Gato Swamp Monsters, will they stab them back?

The possibility is not only there, but also very large.

After understanding the ins and outs of the whole thing, Gavin is more determined not to go.

After listening to Gavin's analysis, Anna's face turned red with anger. She took her heavy nail hammer and wanted to find the cunning old lizard to argue, but she couldn't find him in the whole village.

The cunning old lizard had a sensitive nose. He noticed that Gavin was looking for news about him all over the world. He knew that the matter was exposed, so he slipped away in advance.

This unexpected episode taught Anna a good lesson and let her know what it means to be unpredictable.

As for the effect, I can only say hehe.

The education that human nature is good since childhood made her think of all things in a good way.

This point, in this life, she probably will find it difficult to change.

This is also what Gavin likes most. People's hearts are all towards light, especially those who can't do it themselves.

In his previous life, Gavin had two beams of light in his life, one beam illuminated his first half of life, and the other beam illuminated his second half of life.

The first beam was Zaranda, who had just left, and the second beam was the one in front of him.

This kind of trade was held again in the Far Sea Swamp.

When they came, the caravan was full, and when they left, it was also full.

It was just that 80% of the goods on it had changed, and some had even changed several times.

In Faerun, there were caravans that carried goods from destination A to destination B in a fixed way, but they were rare. Most of them were operated by large caravans with a certain scale. Only they had enough manpower and material resources to bear the expensive risk costs in the middle. Every time they succeeded, the profits were amazing.

More caravans, especially those composed of independent merchants, would leave very little space to carry the core commodities with the highest profits from the starting point to the destination. Most of the remaining commodities would be resold along the way and then purchased again. The profits generated from this would support their next journey.

Even if there was a problem in the middle of the journey and they could not go to the destination, they would not lose too much by selling the goods on the spot, and they could even make a small profit. The risk was relatively low and the profit was relatively thin.

Along the way, they also encountered a village covered with various fungi, and even the livestock there were covered with fungi.

Under Gavin's strong suggestion, they avoided the village as far as possible and left as quickly as possible.

He didn't know what happened in the village, but experience told him that it was either a plague or a powerful predator hidden in it, which was definitely not something they could provoke now.

As the terrain began to change, Gavin knew that their destination was about to arrive.

Rocky land.

Just like its name, the most abundant thing here is various stones.

This place is located on the remnant of the Storm Cape Mountains. It is the most typical hilly area, and the highest mountain will not exceed 600 meters.

But there are many hills and gullies, just like the wrinkles on the face of a centenarian, one after another, forming a huge maze. People who are not familiar with the road may not be able to get out after getting in.

The forest kingdom of Cormier has always claimed to own this place, but has never been able to occupy it.

The reason is that the complex terrain here accounts for a large part of the reason.

Cormier's most powerful purple dragon army is unlikely to be useful here.

When their army marched in, the monster groups hid in the corners of the mountains and played hide-and-seek with them.

After a long time, Cormier could not afford the heavy supplies and had to withdraw.

In a few years, this place became a world of monsters again.

With nothing to do, the Cormyr royal family issued a special war order half a century ago. No matter who they were, as long as they could conquer the Rocky Land, they would be officially canonized by the Kingdom of Cormyr and become a baron here.

Unfortunately, half a century has passed, and no one has received this honor.

Following the caravan along the way, Gavin basically didn't see a few decent human villages in the Rocky Land. On the contrary, there were goblin nests and dog-headed man caves everywhere.

Here, whether it is day or night, all that echoed in the ears were the shouts of goblins and the barking of dog-headed men.

Fortunately, both of them were famous for being timid. The caravan that Gavin and his team followed was large enough that they only dared to peek from afar, and few dared to rush out to rob.

There were also some tribes that traded with the caravan, but they were scattered and not on a large scale. At least they did not form a large-scale trade place like the Thun Swamp and the Far Sea Swamp.

"Uncle Bed, do you have time to chat?" Gavin said to the chubby middle-aged man who was busy counting the goods.

"Brother Gavin... wait a moment, I'll finish this account, it will be done soon." The middle-aged man Bed replied while doing quick mental arithmetic. His fat body moved very fast, perfectly interpreting the term "flexible fat man".

The middle-aged man's name is Bed * Sage. He is not the leader of the caravan, but he is the leader. Many key decisions along the way were made by him.

When he first set out on the road, his three large carriages were all loaded with food, fruits, beer and the like.

Other merchants do business with villages and towns along the way, and he does business with those merchants. Although most of the food can be obtained locally, beer and fruit are difficult to replenish. Because the price is relatively fair, business has always been good.

This business continued until the Far Sea Swamp. Except for one carriage that still carried this kind of goods, the others became swamp specialties. There were two more carriages. One was purchased from other merchants, and the other was commissioned by Gavin and his team to be repaired in the wagon graveyard in the Thun Swamp - there were too many goods collected there and they could not be loaded.

These two extra wagons, together with the goods on them, were all earned for free on this trip.

"Okay, I'm finally done with the work." Bed wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Brother Gavin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"We are also acquaintances. I won't hide it from Uncle Bed. I have reached my destination and will not continue to move forward." Gavin said straight to the point.
