Chapter 832
Several bonfires were lit, and the iron pot on them was boiled with broth, and the aroma drifted with the wind.
This is already the evening of the fourth day that Mu Shaoan led the team into the east bank of the Anduin River, but so far, apart from killing two lost wild boars, they have never seen anything alive. Not to mention the fallen gray dwarves.
"Gray dwarves exist. One hundred and twenty years ago, I was fortunate enough to enter the world of "Lord of the Rings" to perform anti-virus missions. Of course, the timeline has entered the Twin Towers. In Lun’s army, there are some gray dwarves. They are very cruel. They have red eyes. They are like wild beasts. They also release all kinds of evil witchcraft, and they can accidentally be recruited."
It was a boss, Geng Shilong, who was seconded from the Storm Hunter Group.
"I’m actually more curious, Young City Lord, why do you have to hunt those gray dwarves? Wouldn’t it be better to have the energy to contact the dwarf tribes in Iron Mountain or El Castle? Those dwarves are even more Elite, and prefer to drill caves.” By the campfire, another bearded man opened the mouth and said. He is the butcher’s little brother Liubing and the actual commander in Capture Barrack.
"Drink the soup, Liubing, you have a very high level of broth." Mu Shaoan just smiled slightly and changed the subject.
Everyone smiled, and they each filled a large amount of broth for a while. The broth was delicious and steaming. In this cold spring evening, it was really comfortable and affordable.
And at this time, Mu Shaoan suddenly lifts the head, his eyes swept in a direction in the dim, and he smiled without saying a word.
Although his strength is greatly weakened due to his young age, his spirit strength is as high as 15,000 points, so in fact, on the 3rd day, he has already discovered Unknown Creature. Snooping a few kilometers away.
This kind of powerful wild beast intuition is something other people cannot possess. Of course, if it is replaced by a special profession like Sword Immortal and Druid, then Mu Shaoan has nothing to say.
No words for a night, early in the morning of the second day, Mu Shaoan and the others continued to go on the road. In fact, there was no way. Mu Shaoan had a chance to show the way. Of course, Geng Shilong and Liubing didn’t understand this. It's sake.
On the day when the sky was in the middle of the sky, a hill appeared in front of it, and some light green trees grew sparsely on it, but the grass on the ground grew very vigorously.
Mu Shaoan walked in front of the team, watching from the left, and then again, occasionally pulling up a weed from the ground, chewing it in his mouth, chewing, and seeing Liubing and the others don’t know. So yes.
"That's right, it's here, ready to fight!"
Spit out the blade of grass in his mouth, Mu Shaoan screamed, and everyone quickly assembled into an array. But what is a bit weird is that they have just assembled into an array here, and hundreds of low silhouettes quickly emerged from behind the hills a few miles away. Are they just dwarves? No, it's the evil gray dwarf.
Six cakes, Geng Shilong and the others are shocked at the same time, but they are also extremely convinced.
They, the Young City Lord, have been talking about them all the way, and didn't expect even this kind of ability.
"Don't be impatient! You stay here, I will negotiate with them."
Mu Shaoan didn't know where to get a big package, shaking Shaking the ground and hitting the road.
"Young City Lord, the opposite is the evil gray dwarf, do you want to think twice?" Liubing shouted. He felt that the Young City Lord was still very temperamental, and he really didn't want to look at it. Until he was torn apart by the evil gray dwarf.
The fallen gray dwarves in the Lord of the Rings are almost indistinguishable from the wild beasts.
Mu Shaoan just waved his hand, still keeping pace.
The gray dwarfs on the hills opposite are really irritable, each of them is like a jerbo on a keyboard, wū wū wū screaming and grinning.
But they didn't charge, and obviously they felt the terrifying of Mu Shaoan's army.
When Mu Shaoan walked five hundred meters away from them, he suddenly dropped the package on his back, turned his head and ran, while the gray dwarves wailed ao wu and stepped on their short legs. , Just caught up.
Mu Shaoan looked back and took a closer look, and saw that those gray dwarves had ash-gray hair and beards, which was a bit weird than normal dwarves.
Seeing this, he felt more relieved and continued to run back.
And the hundreds of gray dwarves chased up, gathered around the package, and tore, but soon, a louder scream sounded, seeming to be completely mad.
"Young City Lord, are you okay, what empty city strategy are you playing, the gray dwarves seem to be crazy, do you want us to rush, I promise to destroy them all in three rounds? , No no no, catch them alive for five rounds!" Liubing is very fighting intent.
"Fuck your sister, I'm going back!"
Mu Shaoan waved his hand, took the people back to the camping location last night along the original road, and then waited patiently.
In the afternoon, the sentry guarding outside the camp suddenly shouted. It turned out that three gray dwarves were walking straight, asking if they were shot?
Mu Shaoan, hurry up and shoot your sister. Lao Tzu's arrangement has just taken effect.
Rejecting the escort of Liubing and the others, Mu Shaoan walked out of the camp to show his sincerity, separated from the three looking very old, well, anyway, the gray dwarfs with completely white hair and beard. Thirty meters facing each other.
Mu Shaoan spread his hands, indicating that he did not bring a weapon.
After the three gray dwarves observed him for a while, one of them said in the lingua franca of Central Plains continent: "Who you are?"
"I am a businessman." Mu Shaoan is concise and concise.
The three gray dwarves on the opposite side were silent, and then gu lu talked a lot, and finally said very simply: "That kind of salt, how much do you have? How is the price calculated?"
"There are as many as you want, and I have not only salt, but also flour, meat, fruits, vegetables, Shire's tobacco, and rum, stout, whiskey, Moutai, everything, as for the price Well, it depends on what you have." Mu Shaoan smiled, with a face of harmless to humans and animals.
When he heard his words, the three gray dwarves on the opposite side had their eyes widened, and their slightly turbulent beards were enough to show their excitement.
"Your Excellency, in order to show our sincerity, we also hope that we can buy more salt, grain, uh, a small amount of tobacco, please accept our gift."
A gray dwarf took out a big piece of yellow-orange-orange thing from his waist pocket, and then another big piece, and then another big piece.
Nutou Gold!
Mu Shaoan's eyes blinked, and he was quite happy in his heart. Of course the gray dwarves are not stupid. They have high IQs and understand the meaning of gold, but-things have to start from the beginning.
Earth people know that if a person does not take in salt for a long time, then the body will become weak, the hair will turn white, and eventually will become a white-haired girl.
For the same reason, dwarves are humans. If they have not consumed salt for a long time, their hair will turn white and their body will become weak. This is the origin of gray dwarves.
Of course, this is what Mu Shaoan guessed.
As for why the dwarves lack salt, the reason is also very simple. Dwarves are born warriors and miners. When the Lone Mountain Dwarf Kingdom was prosperous, why so many humans went to settle in Long Lake Town, Why does the endless stream of business travel form the ancient jungle road?
It’s not because dwarves don’t produce, don’t know how to farm, don’t mine salt, and don’t know how to make wine. Uh, farming and making wine are not that difficult. Salt is the most important thing.
At the beginning, the humans in Long Lake Town purchased a large amount of materials from Shire, Bray, Rohan, and Gondor on the west bank of the Anduin River, passing Rivendell, Gaoai, and then crossing the Anduin River , After passing through the ancient jungle road in the gloomy forest, finally enter the town of Long Lake and transport it to the kingdom of the dwarves of the Gushan Mountain.
This is a road to wealth.
But then the giant dragon Smaug destroyed the Lonely Mountain, and at the same time destroyed the road of wealth. In fact, it could continue at the beginning, but until the outbreak of the Battle of the Five Armies, half orcs raged, this wealth of Lu completely collapsed.
Why the dwarf tribes such as Iron Mountain are weak is actually related to this road of wealth.
But more dwarves are losing their kings, their homes, and the mines they depend on for survival. They are nothing but wandering around in the wilderness.
Everyone, that’s the wilderness of the primordial era. Everything is devour raw meat and fowl. If it’s humans, it’s okay. After all, humans are full of various life skills, but these wandering dwarves, they In addition to digging holes, mining, forging weapons, and at best, he can farm a little.
So it is conceivable that in the past few hundred years, they wandered in the wilderness, devour raw meat and fowl, sleeping and sleeping in the wind, cold weather, summer inflammation, disease and plague, hunger and wild beast, Living in torment, changing, and eventually becoming what some tall masters call the degenerate, evil, and unforgivable gray dwarf.
Yes, without food, they have to hunt like wild beasts. Without salt, their hair and beard will gradually become gray and white, so they really become monsters.
Now this time period is okay. After more than ten years, when the shadow of the demon Lord Sauron gradually expands in the east, these gray dwarf tribes wandering in the wilderness will be as it should be by rights Is demonized.
Everything is to live.
Who is qualified to condemn whom?
Mu Shaoan can think of this detail that the layout makers of the big Legion could not think of. They can't think of it, but it doesn't make much sense to think of it.
Because they have no intention to become businessmen and engage in economic arteries.
Mu Shaoan now wants to open up the Moria pit and connect it to the Anduin River. He still has the Pasgaland grassland and hundreds of square kilometers of fertile land. It only takes two to three years. The materials produced on this piece of land will be extremely abundant.
Food, salt, wine, and tobacco are transported to the Eastern Wilderness, sold to those gray dwarves who have devour raw meat and fowl, and then exchanged for more ores, steel, weapons, and even gold from the gray dwarves.
Turn back, and then use gold to buy important supplies, wizard weapons, Shire tobacco, leather from the north, and spices from the south. These huge and abundant commodities can also flow into Dunland. Human hands.
Once this commercial hematopoietic cycle is opened, hmph!
