The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 58 Restarting
  Allen didn't want to stay too long in the Thunder Tribe. After all, this was not the territory of the tribe. Traveling with these carts of food and transporting them back to the tribe as soon as possible was the top priority.

After the hiring of Jack was accepted by the other party, Allen was ready to set off that night. Before the sun rose the next morning, Goblin Jack was already waiting in the backyard of the Clover Inn where Allen and the others were staying. .

Jack was already attracted by the price given by Allen. With his ability, it was not easy to take on a task worth more than one gold coin. There were only a few scattered orders throughout the year, let alone a task like now. This is a mission worth up to 15 gold coins. Of course, he is also aware of the risks behind this mission. If there is no team accompanying him on the return trip, if he wants to return to the Thunder Tribe alone from more than a thousand miles away, unless he is a high-level warrior or above, it will be difficult to arrive safely.

However, Jack also has his own secret. As a darling of shadow energy, Jack, who is only 17 years old, is actually a naturally advanced warrior. However, his advanced profession and characteristics are more focused on life-saving and are useful in battle. Not big, so he always kept a low profile and did not dare to easily provoke other warriors.

Jack, a level 7 stalker/level 2 shadowwalker, can hide in any shadow location without being noticed by the enemy. The silent characteristic allows Jack to make no sound when sneaking in the dark, which adds to his stealth advantage. Especially as a darling of shadow energy, although he did not have the money to learn skills and inheritance, when Jack independently advanced to the shadow walker, he automatically obtained an excellent life-saving skill - shadow jump: under the coverage of shadow, the shadow walker Can suddenly flicker to other shadow points within 150 yards from its original location, even if the shadows have no place to meet each other.

It is precisely with this life-saving skill and professional characteristics that Jack has the confidence to return to the Thunder Tribe alone without other teams following him. The Tagan Desert may not be dominant, but as long as you walk around the edge of the desert, the ubiquitous shadows in the wilderness can ensure Jack's safety. Of course, the risk is still extremely high, otherwise Allen would not have offered such a high chip of 15 gold coins.

With Jack joining him, Allen naturally stopped lingering. Early that morning, he led his tribe and a group of slaves out of the south gate of the town and headed towards his hometown.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, greenskin!"

The kobold guards of the Thunder Tribe guarding the entrance and exit gates, after Allen obsequiously handed over the exit fee, opened their sleepy eyes and waved their hands impatiently, and drove Allen and his group out. How embarrassing it is for Allen and the others.

Although Thunder Town is not a necessary place on the border trade routes of the Elf Kingdom, it is still a prosperous place in the southwest. There are not many caravans leaving the city in the morning. Allen and the others think that they got up quite early, but they are ahead of them. There are several caravans waiting to leave the town ahead. After waiting for almost half an hour, Allen and the others successfully walked out of Thunder Town. At this time, the red sun had already jumped above the horizon, emitting scorching light and shining in all directions.

Although the Thunder Tribe was guarded by two powerful legendary warriors, the tribe still did not dare to relax. After dark, it would follow the example of the civilized world and conduct closed-door management of the city's defenses, and would not reopen until after dawn the next day.

"This city entry and exit tax is a huge amount of revenue for a prosperous town. Don't look at it. It only collects a small amount of tax per head, only 5 copper coins. But it can't support the coming and going of people entering and leaving the city every day. It adds up to a lot. The income in one day is exciting.”

Philip has been regarded as Allen's tail these days. Now, even except for resting and sleeping, he will never leave Allen's sight and wait for Allen's inquiries at any time. Now that he has arrived, he has an additional companion, Jack, the guide that Allen hired at a large price. The three of them walked at the front of the team, guiding the team forward slowly.

"Looking at the traffic of people in the Thunder Tribe, I am afraid that the head tax alone will collect more than 2-3 gold coins. The accumulated income in this year will be a huge wealth."

"It's a pity that my original manor was located in a remote location. Otherwise, if it were like this, I'm afraid it wouldn't be where it is now."

Philip sighed with envy while introducing Allen to the value of the tax for entering and exiting the city.

"I just don't know if your tribe, master, has such convenient territory. If you have the opportunity to build such a town, then you will be holding a mountain of gold and sitting and counting money!" I heard Allen say before that they went to Thorns The purpose of the fort was to escort a human caravan. Philip thought that maybe the other party's territory might have some business value, so he asked expectantly. If the other party's territory has such business value, even if there is no chance to escape, maybe my life will be easier in the future.

Hearing Phillip's question, Jack, the goblin who was walking at the front, stood up inconspicuously. Although he often interacted with the outside world and had contact with countless goblins of his kind, a wealthy goblin tribe leader like Allen did not. Very rare. When passing several fully loaded vehicles, Jack's little hand quietly brushed the sack under the vehicle's rain-protecting animal skin, and he had already judged that the contents were most likely food.

A tribe that could purchase thousands of pounds of food at one time and spend 15 gold coins on a guide must not be too weak. At least none of the goblins Jack came into contact with were so impressive. Although the Thunder Tribe is good, it is not the territory of their goblins. Jack has suffered countless hardships in order to survive in the town over the years and has encountered countless oppressions. The biggest reason is that they are just kobolds.

If there could be a powerful goblin tribe willing to accept him, Jack would also be willing to move here. The sense of identity of the same tribe would at least not be worse than that of the Thunder tribe, right?
  "Our tribe just robbed the Gnoll camp some time ago. There is a beautiful lake - Green Lake. The land around the lake shore is fertile and there are many animals living around. At least our tribe will not starve. .”

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse. In Allen's eyes, the Thunder Tribe is rich and prosperous, but when it comes to a sense of identity and security, I'm afraid the Thunder Town will not be able to equal the attraction of Green Lake to Allen and the others.

"As for the caravans passing by, maybe we can meet 2-3 groups throughout the year?"

Allen's words completely dispelled Phillip and Jack's expectations, and they turned sideways to prevent Allen from seeing the disappointment in their eyes.

"By the way, Philip, please help me identify what kind of food is grown on the land outside this town. Maybe when we go back, we can follow the example of the kobolds and reclaim land for planting on the edge of the Green Lake!"

Allen didn't notice the change in Phillip's expression, and even if he did, he wouldn't care. After noticing the rows of good-looking man-made things on the roadside, he instructed Phillip to start doing things.

"This should be wheat..."

Philip walked to the crops and looked at them carefully.

　The contract signing was successful today, and soon the novels will be recommended. When the time comes, there will be a wave of updates, instead of one update a day like now.
