Chapter 75 Return
Chapter 75 Return
The Black Stone Town in the middle of winter is quiet and peaceful, as if it has never changed since time immemorial.
Although this small town on the edge of the Howling Forest is still a human territory, Leon couldn't help but relax when he saw it.
The small convoy entered the town directly, and Yan Chuan and others used their cloaks to cover up their appearance. Of course, with the current strength of Leon and others, even if they faced the escorts in the town, they didn't need to be afraid.
The town with fewer mercenary adventurers is quite deserted, with almost no pedestrians on the streets, and the town’s bars and restaurants are lively.
Leon had no intention of entering and drove to his first destination, the Grain Store.
A batch of goods was resold in the city of Faril, and the capital and profit were obtained with more than 500 gold coins. After that night's battle, the trophy that Rock Hammer and others plundered from the corpses of the mercenaries actually contained hundreds of gold coins.
Most of the deposit was paid in advance by Wald. The mercenaries did not have the habit of saving. Those with families would give them to their families. Those without families would certainly take them by their side for squandering and enjoyment. As a result, they all got cheaper.
With nearly a thousand gold coins on his side, Leon's waist, which had originally had a bottom of his purse, suddenly became thicker and he was preparing to buy something in Blackstone Town.
It’s not that he doesn’t know how to keep savings, but that in the whistling forest, the value of money is weakened to the lowest level, and food and weapons are the real hard currency. It’s a real fool to starve with a bunch of gold coins.
After nearly two months, when the grain shop owner saw Leon, the big customer, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears - he finally came to you!
Since the transaction with Leon, the business of the grain shop owner has grown a lot, and the inflow and outflow of bulk transactions can reduce costs to the greatest extent. The small cunning boss will also use various excuses to raise the selling price, and the profit earned in the middle is not a small number.
Unfortunately, the booming business attracted the attention of some people in the town, so he had to temporarily stop the transaction with Leon to avoid causing trouble for both parties.
What I didn't expect was that after that time, Leon did not appear again, and seemed to be really scared.
This made the grain shop owner feel heartbroken. Winter was originally the off-season for grain sales, and most residents had their own grain storage. Without Leon, a big customer, his store was full of mice running.
So when Leon entered the door, the owner of the grain shop who was counting copper coins seemed to see an angel and ran over excitedly: "Dear guest, I thought you no longer keep in mind our store! What do you need?"
So resentful and sad, Lao Lei almost used a broom to sweep away goose bumps all over the floor and laughed dryly: "You are so polite? What else can you do here? Of course you are buying food, but I don't know if there will be trouble?"
"No!" The owner of the grain shop shook his head like a rattle, and said hurriedly: "I will give you as much as you need!"
His reaction was as expected by Leon. Such a long time passed, and the storm caused by frequent buying of grain must have subsided.
"I brought two carriages here, you fill them all up. The first choice is rye. If you don't have enough, use gray wheat. I won't cut the price with you, it's the same as last time!"
In Blackstone Town, this is the only one that can provide stable bulk food, so even if the grain shop owner is a little bit dark, Leon is willing to make some blood. After all, the other party has also suffered some risks.
"Okay!" The grain shop owner smiled. The current grain price is no bigger than two months ago, and the middle profit is.
Seeing the boss flying with gold coins, he felt like he was injected with chicken blood. He asked the guy to open the warehouse and put bags of food on the carriage.
Taking advantage of this gap, Leon moved to the town weapon shop and swept all the tomahawk swords or machete daggers inside as long as they were not high-priced goods, and if the carriage was not enough, they would wrap it in cloth and tie it next to the saddle.
When the two carriages were almost full of food, Leon paid the payment and immediately set off the road, leaving Blackstone Town for the Howling Forest.
A carriage with thousands of pounds of grain would definitely not be able to cross mountains and ridges through the forest to reach the camp of the Mad Hammer Tribe, so Leon asked Rock Hammer and Fire Hammer to go back to the tribe to find people first, while he and others were waiting in the woods.
In the afternoon, they actually returned with more than 200 tribal warriors.
"What's going on?" Leon was shocked.
More than half of these tribal warriors are bears, and many are leopards, cows, pigs, and even three wolves. They are all strong men, and many of them are strangers to Leon.
"There are many more people in our tribe!" Yanchu grinned and said, "The speed of using gray camel is too slow, so I dispatched them all. Each of them is divided into a little bit and they will be carried back soon!"
Leon suddenly realized that it seemed that the tribe had changed a lot in the past two months after they left, at least a lot of new population.
This is definitely a good thing. The more people the tribe is, the stronger the strength. With so many people in front of you, transporting food weapons becomes a very simple thing.
A group of beast men carried food bags and carried weapons, and embarked on the return journey with great confidence.
Although he was reluctant to let go, Leon gave up the two carriages, and of course he brought all the wildebeests with him.
It was getting dark soon, and the soldiers set off torches and continued to move forward. In this forest, they did not need to be afraid of anything.
After a not-hard trek, Leon finally saw the tribal camp located in the valley.
"We're home!" He said with a smile to Xue Ni who was snuggling in his arms.
Xue Ni can't ride a horse, so the two of them ride together. The way they go, Leon enjoys a lot of gentleness.
"Yes!" Xue Ni nodded and looked curiously at her new home similar to a small mountain town not far away.
Hope Valley opens its arms and warmly welcomes the wanderers returning from afar.
A fire was lit on the high village wall, and the village door was opened, and many people from the tribe were crowded at the door. Their cheers made Leon and others suddenly find the feeling that only belongs to home.
Looking at the familiar smiles, Leon's heart was filled with warmth.
Compared with the bustling city of Tormond, this place is just a remote and primitive corner, with no high-rise buildings, no bars and restaurants, but the people here are simple, kind, brave and upright, without intrigue and plot against each other, and have a warm atmosphere that a big city will never have.
In the crowd, Leon saw Elder Monstein and a heroic and sexy girl next to him.
It was the rose of the Lightning Tribe.
Why did she come here? Leon was secretly surprised and turned over and jumped off the horse's back, and also helped Xue Ni down.
"Lei, you are finally back and finally become a real warrior!"
Elder Monstein's smile was as gentle and warm as ever, but he was not much surprised that Leon became a beast soul warrior, obviously taking it for granted.
"I am not the only one who became a beast soul warrior, but also Rock Hammer!" Leon said with a smile.
"Rock Hammer..." This was completely beyond the expectations of Elder Monstein. You must know that when he left, Rock Hammer was just a level five barbarian warrior, how could he catch up?
"This matter is a long story, I'll talk to you later!" Leon turned to Qiangwei and smiled, "Miss Qiangwei, long time no see!"
"Congratulations on becoming a beast soul warrior!" Qiangwei looked at Leon with a complicated look, joy, and a little surprised: "Is this person?..."
"This is Xue Ni. I brought it back from Tormond City. It's mine, mine..." Leon didn't know how to accurately express Xue Ni's identity.
Qiangwei's eyes flashed and she bit her lip. Leon found that her face had become very bad, and there was a faint flame in her eyes.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.
"I am Brother Lei's sister, Sister Qiangwei, hello..."
At this moment, Xue Ni, beside Leon, suddenly walked up and asked Qiangwei shyly, "Can I call you sister?"
Her innocence and cuteness made the frost on Qiangwei's face suddenly melt away. She couldn't help but pull Xue Ni's little hand and said, "Of course, I've always wanted to have a sister like you. Come and let's talk here."
The two of them actually walked aside hand in hand, as close as a pair of real sisters.
Women are such strange creatures! Leon couldn't help but shake his head. Although he had many women before, he definitely didn't dare to boast about how much he knew women.
"Well, it seems that your gains are really great this time!" Elder Monstein smiled slightly with a joking smile: "Okay, go in first, everyone is waiting for you to return!"
Although it was late at night, the return of Leon and others made the entire Valley of Hope boil. Several burning bonfires were lit, and tribal members sat around the bonfire and sang and danced.
This is a blessing and praise for the return of the Expedition Warriors.
After a simple dinner, taking a hot bath and washing away all the dust, Leon changed into clothes and came to Elder Monstein's tent.
What Leon is most concerned about is of course the current situation of the tribal camp. After listening to Elder Monstein's story, he was stunned.
With the establishment of the Hope Valley Camp, coupled with the improvement of the strength and equipment of the tribe warriors, and the continuous addition of new members, the current Crazy Hammer Tribe is no longer a small tribe on the verge of despair.
As the reputation of the Mad Hammer Tribe increases, more and more small tribes in the forest join in. Now the entire tribe has more than 900 tribes, of which nearly 400 young and strong men can act as warriors, which can be regarded as a medium tribe.
This does not include nearly a hundred green-skinned goblins. With the increase of members, the construction of houses has not stopped in the valley. Fortunately, Leon and others prepared sufficient food before leaving, otherwise such a large population would be a big trouble.
