Chapter 35 Truck Grave
This side effect has become a label for Anna’s preparation of potions.
But in the wilderness with no villages or shops, it is already extremely happy to have enough healing potions to use. How can you pray for more?
Those who drank Anna's healing potion would often roar wildly and go into battle with red eyes.
Those who understand the situation know that this is the user's way of fighting to relieve the uncomfortable feeling in the body.
Those who didn't understand the situation might have thought that the other party had entered a violent state. Many monsters were stunned for a moment, and some were even so frightened that they turned around and ran away.
This matter became a joke in the caravan. The familiar guards teased Anna with this while buying more healing potions from her.
The kind-hearted Anna apologized profusely and took the initiative to offer them discounts or give them a few more bottles of healing potions.
Halfway through the journey, Anna had already earned herself an old carriage and most of the carriage, various bits and pieces of merchandise and strange gadgets, and became a merchant in the caravan. This was completely beyond Gavin's expectation.
You said that the young pastor knows how to do business? Her heart is not dark at all. She always offers discounts and free gifts. With this business method, it stands to reason that it won’t take long for even a gold mountain at home to be destroyed. deficit.
You said she doesn't know how to do business. She is now a serious business owner and owns a carriage of goods. This is something that he and Vic have not been able to do even after traveling half of Faerûn.
"Big deal, Mr. Gavin, Mr. Gavin, I found... I found a big deal." Anna yelled as she ran, pulling Gavin out of his trance.
Half of Anna's little head stuck out from behind the carriage curtain, her round face was flushed, the blond hair on her forehead came out again, twitching mischievously, and her big eyes sparkled with excitement. glow.
The young pastor was abducted by profiteers and became addicted to business. She also read about business wherever she went.
“What big business?” In view of the strange luck shown by the young priest, Gavin was still patient and prepared to hear what kind of business she was reading.
"Hehe..." Before the girl priest started to say anything, she started to feel silly and happy, "I discovered this myself."
"Well, what did you find?" Gavin asked to induce, otherwise this A silly girl in an excited state can count from head to toe.
"Wagons... scrapped trucks... The lizard tribe that is trading with Uncle Bede and the others has a lot of scrapped trucks in it... I asked about it, and the price is very cheap... We are fully capable of all Buy it... When the time comes, Mr. Goblin and I will use the repair technique to repair it and restore it to use. It won't take long for us to have a fleet of cars!" Anna is learning and selling now!
When this old carriage came into their hands, it was basically unable to move on the road. Anna and Vic spent three repair techniques to get it moving again, and subsequently invested in five more repairs. This technique restored its condition to 90%.
The merchant who sold it to them saw that the cost of repairing the carriage was too high, and Gavin and the others would be used a lot on the road, so he might as well do it as a favor and give it to Anna half-sold and half free.
Otherwise, do you really think that it was the girl pastor's innocence and kindness that impressed those black-hearted businessmen and made them embarrassed to cheat her?
Anna has not been sold out yet. Everything is based on the powerful force they have shown, especially the goblin warlock Vic, a spellcaster who has mastered the three-ring fireball technique. Deterrent.
And Vic was obedient to Gavin, saying that he was not a slave, and his words and deeds did not look like him. This made those experienced veterans a little confused about Gavin's background, thinking that he When he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he will get close to him if he can. He will not be easily provoked at all, let alone take the initiative to test his bottom line.
"What do we need so many trucks for?" This time it was Gavin's turn to be unable to keep up with Anna's train of thought.
"Sell it for money. A well-made truck is worth at least three hundred gold coins. If you buy it from those lizard people, you don't even need three gold coins. This is a hundred times profit!" Anna's calculation There was a loud snapping sound.
"That's the account, but have you considered the transportation issue? Let's not talk about how long it will take to repair them. Just say that once they are repaired, how much will it cost to transport them? The second half of our road will become more and more complicated. Difficult to walk, especially after entering rocky areas, most of which are It will be very difficult for a single horse to carry a truck on a rugged mountain road. We only have three people and three horses, and we can only add one truck at most.
Uncle Bede and his gang. Man, if every bone can be fried with oil, it would be a hundred times more beneficial. The rich business has been wiped out long ago, and it will be waiting for you to discover it. If my guess is correct, this is probably the trade road, a well-known graveyard for trucks, whether they are going east or west. When you get here, the trucks will be seriously worn and some parts will be damaged. You have to give up, or look for replacement parts here, repair it reluctantly, and then go on the road.”
Gavin went down several basins of cold water, and Anna, who was originally in high spirits, thought he had discovered a big treasure. , the eggplant was suddenly beaten like frost.
“Why are you still standing there?” Gavin waved to Anna.
"What are you going to do?" Anna asked weakly.
“Look at the treasure you found.” Gavin said with a smile.
"Mr. Gavin is making fun of me again." Anna's little mouth was so pouted that it could hang a soy sauce bottle.
“I am the most serious person, when have I ever made fun of you?” Gavin explained with a smile, “This is indeed a treasure. After all, the value of the truck is there, but with our current ability, Just because we can’t discover this treasure doesn’t mean we can If you don’t have the ability to dig it out later, let’s evaluate it now.”
“It’s you who says it’s worthless, and you’re the one who says it’s valuable. You take advantage of everything.” Anna kicked the mud balls at her feet vigorously and grunted softly.
"What did you say?" Gavin pretended not to hear her complaint.
"It's nothing." Anna said in a long voice, "I think Mr. Gavin is smarter. He thinks about everything so carefully. Come with me, he's not far ahead."
Anna and Gavin walked forward one step at a time, avoiding the puddles as much as possible. No one knew whether it was a swamp or not. They had now entered the outskirts of Thun Swamp.
This is their second day staying here, and they will stay here for at least three more days.
The lizard people village they stopped at called Greenze has already seen the outline of the town. The lizard people here are also biased towards civilization, at least better than most similar civilizations. Their first reaction to seeing humans is , instead of raising weapons, he communicated through language. When he saw the caravan, the lizard's face was full of smiles. This smile was exactly the same as the faces of those profiteers.
News of a large caravan stopping here spread to Thun Swamp yesterday. Since this morning, traders and even individuals from the swamp race have come to trade with goods. These swamp races are not limited to lizardmen, but also madmen. Frogmen, hags, kobolds, goblins, crocodiles and more.
Since all intelligent races will have trade needs, merchants wandering in the monster jungle usually make preparations.
If those monsters come with swords and malicious intentions, they will face each other with swords.
If you come with goodwill and goods, they will also greet you with smiles and goods.
Who to do business with is not business?
As long as there are benefits, most businessmen don't care who they trade with.
They also have their own rhetoric. Their trade will maintain a balance between supply and demand. Without demand, the aggressiveness of those monsters will be greatly reduced. Their caravans will be safer, and the surrounding people will be safer. It's safer.
Although it is somewhat exaggerated to exaggerate his own achievements, it is also somewhat unreasonable.
