Chapter 43 Trading
Tang Zhao was not in a hurry to go to the human world, and he spent the next week stabilizing the territory.

After losing the protection of the treants, the goblins' territory has welcomed many unfriendly visitors. This situation should continue for another month, until the surrounding creatures deeply realize that the goblins without the treants are also not easy to provoke until.

As for Tang Zhao, as a strange visitor, the surrounding creatures were more curious about him, and he made several dangerous tentative behaviors, but he also reacted quickly, and rushed directly to the scene to confront the enemy.

Obviously, Tang Zhao's appearance is not easy to mess with, so until now, no bloody conflict has really broken out.

At this stage, the people who come here are all small characters, just like the situation in the beginning of Lilith's settlement. After a month or two, they figure out the details of Tang Zhao's side, and truly formidable enemies will appear.

Tang Zhao's current strength is more than enough to protect himself, and he is still far behind in protecting the safety of the entire settlement of more than 100 people. From this perspective, he needs at least one or two more evolutions before he can gain a firm foothold in the forest.

For the twenty tons of flesh and blood that evolution requires, he has to eat until the year of the monkey. Even if he eats himself to death every day, he can eat at most hundreds of kilograms of flesh and blood. It takes two hundred days to meet the requirements, which makes him unable to wait.

The shortcut is to hunt more powerful creatures. Judging by human standards, at least they must be relatively powerful second-order creatures.

Lilith was basically happy with what she saw. She enthusiastically provided information on the prey that met the conditions around her. Of course, most of the selected prey were dark and evil species, and even normal neutral monsters were rare.

Tang Zhao had no objection to this, anyway, he would send scouts to detect the surrounding environment anyway.

The progress of hunting and eating has been slowed down by him recently, one is waiting for the goblin scouts to figure out the situation, and the other is that he is busy with the construction of the territory.

Many jobs are difficult to carry out without professionals, but there are also many things that can be done.

In a week, the residences of the goblin and the kobold were completed, and the living conditions were the same as before the relocation.

It’s almost autumn now, so it’s too late to plant such things. Fairies have planted a lot of trees before, so they know part of the planting knowledge. They will be sure to plant in the next year. Of course, the most important thing is their innate talent. .

As the incarnation of nature, fairies have the ability to "resuscitate plants" in spring. Their description of this ability is very fantastic. In short, Tang Chao understands it as helping plants grow smoothly, and at the same time, it may also have the effect of increasing harvest yield .

The future is promising, but it is useless now.

In addition, the goblins also counted the resources of the herd of beasts on the territory-in general, they are abundant. Considering Tang Zhao's current food intake, it is enough for him to let go and eat it for a month or two. .

The only fly in the ointment is that there are not many fish schools in the nearby lake. I don’t know if it’s because of the forest
The corrosion was due to the lack of oxygen caused by the fire, and it would take a year or two to recover.

In addition, there are quite a few goblins, who are not suitable to be scouts or administrators, but they also want to help. Tang Zhao didn't make things difficult for these goblins, but just let them stay quietly in the settlement, and help them make some exquisite and beautiful goblin handicrafts if they have time. Prepare in advance for going to the human world.

In the woods, there is nothing else that can be produced in large quantities except trees.

Cutting down the entire forest can indeed bring him a lot of benefits, but Tang Zhao and the goblin are long-term allies, and the goblin is a true environmentalist who takes it personally.

That's about all the things on the goblin's side, and things on the kobold's side are a little simpler.

They really love digging, and have been digging around the clock all week with good results.

The mine has been dug down tens of meters, and according to them, there must be sheets of ore nearby.

It will take some time before the ore is actually dug, but judging by the confident look of the kobolds, it doesn't seem like they are talking big.

In addition, Tang Zhao and the kobolds had already made a little progress on the previously planned residence.

Tang Zhao was already able to stuff his body into the cave. Although he couldn't move at all after entering, considering that there were a lot of messy things this week, the kobolds did a very good job.

Finally, for the first time, things are actually moving forward with growing mushrooms.

Kobolds knew how to use all kinds of plants before. They lived in the crypt, and there were not many of them that could be grown underground in dark and low-light environments. The most suitable ones were mushrooms.

Therefore, they actually have some experience in growing mushrooms. They will grow a glowing mushroom in the cave and use it as a lighting tool. The edible mushroom is similar to that kind of thing, and it is even better to feed it.

The yield will not be as exaggerated as potatoes with sufficient nutrition supply, but it is better than nothing.

Except for the basic production issues of the settlement, Tang Zhao spent the rest of the time researching when and by what means to trade something with humans.

The goblins made a lot of handicrafts, which can be exchanged for a lot of money. In addition, Tang Zhao also collected a lot of things in the forest.

For example, the whole animal hide left after he ate the meat, the carcass of the Ganthias tree, and the body parts of the petrified lizard.
In his opinion, these things are relatively different types of kitchen waste, and it would be best if someone wants them.

He has a lot of things to exchange, mainly tools and crop seeds, but there is also a considerable demand for kerosene cloth, weapon ropes and other things.

At the same time, he had to consider warm clothes, because it was already autumn.

The winter in Oran is not particularly cold, but the necessary winter clothes must also be prepared.

Cynthia wrote a neatly written and well-worded letter with pen and paper. The content on it was probably a request for a deal, and the addressee was Jacques, who was the guide who brought them here.

Of course, Tang Zhao's size and appearance cannot deliver letters to humans, but Cynthia has the ability to talk to animals, so she can entrust birds to deliver letters for him.

Cynthia had done similar things before. Instead of asking Xiaoniao to find Jacques, it is still unknown whether he is in Luford now. Cynthia just asked Xiaoniao to throw the letter into the chamber of commerce.

Carrier pigeons and such were already used in this country, so the occasional delivery of a bird was at best a curiosity rather than a shock, much less a suspicion.

Anyway, Tang Zhao was not afraid of the content of the letter being peeped, because he had paid special attention to this aspect in advance. Even if people who did not know the real situation peeked at the letter, at most they would think Tang Zhao and others were hunters in the mountains.

Although it is unreasonable for Orion to be literate and use carrier pigeons, it is still more normal than a group of goblins and kobolds plus a large lizard to do business with humans.

Be careful when going out, Tina can barely be trusted by Tang Zhao, and so is his subordinate, because he has received Tina's personal guarantee, as for the remaining merchants of the chamber of commerce, he can't trust them at all. When dating, Tang Zhao will be extremely wary.

No way, the current strength is still too weak to withstand any malicious venting from the human world. You can be bold when you should be bold, because there will be no major problems, but you must be cautious when you should be careful, because a little If you are not careful, you will make a big mistake.

I thought things would be delayed for a while, but I didn't expect that after Jacques picked up the letter, he followed without saying a word.

After the two parties met, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and then quickly got to the point.

"You said that you have furs that you want to hand over to us. No problem. We are a well-known fur merchant in Orlando. The best shops in the capital will use our furs to make clothes."

His eyes will look at Tang Zhao intentionally or unintentionally, because Tang Zhao has indeed changed a lot this month.

Tang Zhao didn't care about this, he walked into the forest indifferently, and then dragged out the carriage of the original carriage.

There are all kinds of furs neatly placed in the carriage, which the kobolds specially tidied up for him.

Jacques was very proficient in calculating the price and condition of furs. He picked up each skin and counted for a while, and then he came up with an amount that sounded pretty good.

Regarding Tang Zhao's precious kitchen waste, Jacques just raised his eyebrows when he saw it, but he didn't say anything, and then quoted a few prices.

"That's about it. The price I'm talking about may not be the highest in Oran, but it's definitely fair by Ruford's standards."

"No problem, just pay at this price. Besides, do you still need the handicrafts made by our fairies?"

"Of course, the sales last time were very good. After all, it is only one of the items. Nobles and wealthy businessmen like this one the most."

After thinking about it for a while, Jacques offered Cynthia an equally good price.

"Thank you. I still don't need money this time. I hope you can exchange it for supplies directly. I have written the list of supplies here."

Cynthia handed Jacques a dense list, with the approximate quantity and specific requirements of each commodity written on it.

"We also understand that this kind of request is rather rude, and you can take [-]% of the commission as our reward."

"No problem, helping is helping, and business is business. Do business according to the standard of doing business, and I will not shirk money."

Tang Zhao patted the ground with his tail, and Cynthia, who received the signal, understood, and asked Jacques again.

"However, I still have a question that I don't understand. Why did you take the risk to do business with goblins? If the news gets out, it will inevitably affect your business, right?"

Tang Zhao has always been unable to understand the motivation of this human being to help. It doesn't seem like he is greedy for money, it doesn't seem to be wrong to say that he has plans for the goblins, and it doesn't seem like he just listens to Tina's order to take care of the goblins.

"Well, if you have time, you can ask Ms. Tina how she explained to me. It's not convenient for me to say, but I promise that I have no intention of harming you."
