At noon, the guard rode into the camp, stuffed a small package to Muyege, and after a low voice with the leader, he blew the horn flute at his waist.

Dunk, who was drowsy in the sun, was awakened by the long sound, turned up and rubbed his face with well water, followed the bronze beards that had packed their luggage and walked out of the camp. This time, it was not suitable for the two to hang behind the team. At the invitation of a merchant, they followed a carriage next to a cargo. The bronze beard placed the bag on the goods and walked easily with a shield on his back.

While looking at the scenery of the river, Dunk listened to the braids of the bronze beards and the surrounding merchants. His knowledge was actually more extensive than that of the merchants.

Most of the merchants in the Muyege caravan are ordinary vegetation and mushroom merchants.

They rarely travel together, but joined the caravan organized by the town chamber of commerce and ran back and forth on a relatively safe trade route. There was no trade route planned by the Goddess of Wealth between Zhishuixi Camp and the nearest town of Xikangbu, but the trade profits between the two really existed.

Muyege took the caravan he organized to install wood elves' wood decorations and special herbs from the foggy forest at Zhishuixi camp and transported them to Xikangbu and even Xuanshui City for sale. The accompanying merchants could only collect ordinary forest products from Zhishuixi camp, but this was enough. The round trip took about 3 months, and the profits of each trip were astonishingly large. The group of wooden houses outside Zhishuixi camp is the best proof.

The merchants were vague about their respective profit gains, but the bronze beards used their fingers to help them calculate. There were not many areas that met these three conditions at the same time, but the Wildas Forest of Taesel, a human country, is one of them.

The merchant walking beside him nodded and agreed. The dwarf kingdom was in southern Feren. On the way to the Mist Forest, the bronze beard would probably pass through the Wildas Forest. It is normal for him to find the wood elves in the Wildas Forest to make comparisons. However, the next words of the bronze beard changed the face of the merchant:

"Oh~My friend, if I'm not wrong, your profit from a trip is about a barrel of three-year Esmeer wine, right?"

The bronze beard looked at the merchant's desire to speak but stopped, and laughed: "Tell me whatever you want, don't take it seriously~"

At this time, in front of the caravan was the wide surface of the Delinbir River. Not far ahead was a large stone bridge across the river. The stone piers of this stone bridge were built by the great wizard using several high-altitude shaping spells. Everyone walked on the bridge deck that was wide by two carriages, and could not feel the slightest shaking.

The bridge, nearly fifty meters high, lying steadily on the wide river surface. When you walk to the middle of the bridge, you can stop and look at it. The river surface in the distance is completely connected to the sky, and the briggs and even the three-masted sailboats float on the water like fallen leaves. The descendants of the nobles stopped the carriage and looked at the scenery through the repaired car windows. Dunk took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the rare and spectacular scene.

After walking across the stone bridge, there was still an endless grassland. The atmosphere in the caravan became dull, and people followed the people or carriages in front of them, without the energy to spend on chatting.

The only exception is the bronze beard. He took a small sip of wine to moisten his throat, and then sang softly in the common language:

“①

The sky is high and the clouds are wide, and we are in the plain,

The strong grass knows the meaning of summer, and the coolness is sent to the forest.

The fragrant grass is buried in the ancient road, the heart is warm and the summer is cool,

Smiling to welcome uninvited guests, all sounds can express your aspirations,

The river water reflects the sky blue, the white clouds are leisurely,

The breeze blows gently, the flowers and leaves bloom,

...”

After the song was sung, Dunk poked the dwarf with his elbow and signaled him to do it again. The voice of the bronze beard was relatively low and he was careless when speaking, but once he sang the common language ballad seriously, the rough parts of the voice would be restrained, and the whole song was melodious and elegant. Although the lyrics filled by the bronze beard themselves were not perfect, the tune was enough to activate the atmosphere in the caravan.

When the second time was sung, Dunk hummed softly with the bronze beard, followed by the third time and the fourth time... Various untuned sounds gradually sounded in the caravan. In the next ten minutes, everyone's singing was running in with each other. After singing together in full and accurate, everyone stopped tacitly. The caravan moved forward silently, but his steps became much lighter.

The sun in the sky moved to a westward position above the head. According to the experience on the earth, the bronze beard used a travel song to take everyone through the most difficult two hours in the afternoon.

Before the night, the caravan surrounded the temporary camp with a carriage. In the early morning of the next day, the caravan, who had spent the night safely, set off again and continued to move northeast.

On the 9th of the flowering period in 1318, the edge of the forest in the western part of Xikangbu.

In the evening, the Muyege caravan, which had been twisting and turns, rushed to a forest village before the afterglow of the sun was completely obscured by the woods.

This is a settlement of humans, with its own ancient name. However, because it produces mushrooms with its own sweet taste, the business travelers who pass here prefer to call it Sweet Mushroom Village. Over time, Sweet Mushroom Village has become its official name.

After seeing the smile on Dunk's face, the Bronzebeard explained in a low voice. It turned out that this naming method is very common in the Feren continent. For example, the Rabbit Berry Village, which produces rabbit berry, the Red Pine Town, which produces red pine wood, and the Paper Fishing Village, which produces paper fish... Linking the name of the village, the name of the town and the name of the specialty is the common method of naming gathering places.

Follow the business road near Tianmu Village and walk about 150 kilometers northeast to reach a prosperous town - Xikangbu. It is one of the destinations of Muyege Caravan.

As a transit station for several commercial roads, Tianmu Village has been expanding in scale and its popularity has become increasingly higher. Muyege and the guards have gone around the village for a few times, and then returned to the caravan to find a place to settle down on the edge of the village. The servants and merchants have temporarily lived in the low wooden houses, while others have lived in the taverns of Tianmu Village.

According to Muyege, the name of the tavern is Agsino Tavern. The first four words are the real name of Tianmu Village. Feiren's village is not separated from the tavern. Sometimes the village is a tavern, and the tavern is a village.

Based on the principle of staying away from nobles is staying away from unnecessary trouble, Dunk and Bronzebeard rejected Muyege's invitation and found a small wooden house on the edge of the village. Although the tables, chairs, beds and cabinets in the house were slightly worn and the doors and windows were crooked, they were far away and very quiet.

"I'll go to the tavern to find something to eat." The bronze beard shook the wine pot. Muyege not only crossed out the debt of "temporary storage" in advance, but also gave him a bag of coins.

"Take me some food. Grilled meat and rice balls, and it's better to have some vegetables." Dunk took out the tattered cotton wool: "And this..."

The bronze beard grabbed the cotton wool and stuffed it into his arms, waved his hand to his companion on the bed and walked out of the door. Dunk took off his ripped cloth shoes and repaired it with the tools in the wooden house. The cloth strips and sewing needles used to make up for the leaks, and the sewing threads were all ready-made. There were also a pair of small scissors for cutting threads in the sewing bag.

"Fortunately, there are scissors, otherwise how can I cut my nails..."
