Chapter 96: Too Much Material to Put Away

"The great Arman..."

Old Cherry rubbed his hands together, with a respectful and fearful expression on his face: "Those merchants came from the East, but they never revealed their trade routes. An absolutely stable and safe trade route is the biggest secret for their survival."

Being summoned from Prey Town by the Lord was an honor, and being received in private was an incomparably noble gift. However, if he could not respond to the Lord's doubts, he should worry about whether he could bear this special favor.

There are definitely more than one way to the east of the Red Dragon Mountain foothills, and Lind came to this conclusion after the undead people went to explore the Longya Mountain Road.

Although no more useful information has been obtained so far, judging from the dangers on every road taken by the undead who are scattered to investigate, the Dragon Tooth Mountain Road is not suitable for ordinary caravans that do not even have great knights. The terrain is too dangerous. There are not only many types of monsters, but also a large number of wild beasts.

The prerequisite for making money is to be able to successfully deliver the goods to the destination. Merchants can take risks for profit, but it does not mean that merchants will move forward without hesitation even if they know they will die.

Lind looked old Cherry up and down and did not respond immediately.

It can be seen that old Cherry has been living a good life recently. There is a slight blush on his wrinkled old face, and there is more flesh on his face, so that he can see his double chin when he lowers his head. It is not easy for people of this age to gain weight, and they need to eat more good things than those with younger bodies.

Sometimes silent observation can bring more pressure to people.

Old Cherry suddenly knelt on the ground, sliding on his knees with practiced posture: "I will always be loyal to you!"

He was more anxious than anyone to prove his loyalty.

On the way here, he had heard that a very powerful man had come from the east of the Red Dragon Mountain. It was said that the Mad Wolf who had once controlled Prey Town for a short period of time was a very inconspicuous one of his subordinates.

It was like the kind of big shot that he would find it difficult to meet in his lifetime... and that big shot was riding a dragon.

Then what? Look at what I saw when I came to the Star Dragon Outpost just now. There was a huge and ferocious head with a flat and long mouth in the small square. Every tooth in the open mouth was like a dagger, and my fingers couldn't even block the gaps between the teeth.

The lord killed a dragon knight and left the dragon head outside!

So, old Cherry is now extremely loyal, and his loyalty will last until the end of time... until the second dragon slayer or someone who can kill Lind appears.

"I will arrange for the hunters and farmers who are most familiar with the area in Prey Town to investigate, and they will definitely bring you good news."

No matter how hard it was to find that secret trade route, Old Cherry had to find it.

"Don't be nervous, my friend." Lind bent down and stretched out his hand to old Cherry. After the other party placed his wrinkled hand tremblingly in Lind's palm, Lind gently held his hand and then pulled it upwards. Old Cherry was pulled up lightly like cotton.

"I believe in your ability."

"Thank you for your kindness." Old Cherry raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

He began to reflect on whether he was wearing too much, otherwise why was his back sweating so much.

Being able to access the hidden path through the foothills of Red Dragon Mountain is important, it’s like having a back door in your own home.

But he didn't just call Old Cherry for that secret trade route.

"Old Cherry, Prey Town needs you, but not just Prey Town!"

Old Cherry kept his back hunched forward and tried his best to look upward, making himself look respectful and trying hard to listen.

"what do you mean?"

"To the west of the foothills of Red Dragon Mountain, everyone," Lind said, "whether they are wanderers or refugees, as long as they are alive, will belong to Prey Town from today onwards, and they can all receive the protection of Prey Town."

If Lind has enough strength, he won't wait for people to be inspired and come to him on their own initiative. That's too slow.

Old Cherry swallowed.

There are indeed not many people west of the Red Dragon Mountain, but that is only relatively speaking. There are many people who dig for food in the woods and small families who can survive in a cave in groups of three or four. There are still five or six hundred people.

These people were bad-tempered, greedy, and powerless. Throwing so many mouths into Prey Town gave Old Cherry a headache.

"Yes!" He nodded again.

The lord probably only wants to hear my answer as yes, Old Cherry said to himself.

"Screen out the talents from there, forget it." Linde thought for a moment and shook his head. "There's no need to dig for gold in shit. You just need to tell those people that after living in Prey Town, they can have job opportunities and have enough food to eat. Those who are willing to join can join, and those who are unwilling to join can be captured and let them join as captives."

What he needs is not only population, but also stability. It would be safer to clear the area west of the foothills of Honglong Mountain and build a relatively stable logistics base.

People are adaptable. As long as they have food and drink, any temper can be changed.

"Yes!" This time old Cherry answered very straightforwardly.

"Everyone is important, but if there is something extremely bad, I hope to hear rumors of you wielding a two-handed sword and executing the villain in the tavern."

"Yes!"

Every time Lind made a request, old Cherry would think about it quickly in his mind and then nod in agreement.

He would not answer hastily, as that would make it seem as if he had not listened to Linde at all and would appear perfunctory, but at the same time he would not deliberately pause for too long.

Old Cherry only needs to show that he has received the order in full, and analyzing the specific meaning of the task is what he will do after leaving here.

Lind was very satisfied with old Cherry's attitude. No matter whether the other party was cunning or not, as long as he could suppress him, he would only be loyal.

After Old Cherry left, Star Dragon Outpost began to get busy.

The process of exploring Longya Mountain Road takes much longer than expected, but the good news is that Longya Mountain Road is indeed an area where earth dragons can live, and the disaster shadow area is not small and is very suitable for growing crops.

There are still too few disaster shadow areas in the Crazy Sage Village. This time, the area of ​​Longya Mountain Road is very large, so we can cultivate some farmland.

The huge harvest made the undead people so happy that they wanted to soak in it all day long.

Therefore, Lind had to mobilize his NPCs to quickly build the warehouse, otherwise there would not be enough space for the materials.

What a distressing happiness! I have never been so rich!
morning.

Linde bent down, scooped a handful of water from the basin, and splashed it on his face.

The skin, which had gradually become less fair under the sun and wind, was quickly moisturized after coming into contact with water, and jumped for joy as Lind patted his face.

His hair was longer, weighing down his shoulders, fuzzy and not very smooth, like a lion's mane.

Today he made an appointment with a skilled barber.

Lian, holding the scissors, stood behind Linde and ran her slender hands through his long hair: "Your hair grows really fast."

Lind's vitality was getting stronger and stronger. Although his height did not increase, his hair grew vigorously. Even the wounds on his body a few days ago had healed to the point where no scars were visible.

After coming into contact with the potion, the body became more and more active.

The scissors clicked and strands of golden hair fell. Lian's craftsmanship was very good. It might also be that Lind's face was really handsome, so he should be able to easily pull off any hair that was not a Mediterranean style.

Linde touched his temples, feeling quite satisfied.

Short hair suits me better.
