Chapter 43 [Sissy](1/2)
At noon, Chen Daolin and Lanlan went to see Ge Yan together.
Geyan's caravan has been sorted out, with a total of four carriages. The original goods were sold out, and now they are loaded with various things purchased from the Elf Tribe.
There were fifteen people in the caravan, including Ge Yan. Fortunately, Ge Yan and others were away all year round and were well prepared. The fifteen caravan brought nearly thirty horses.
The Tulip Caravan has no objection to Lan Lan's joining. After all, everyone knows that this young lady Lan Lan is a friend of the nobles in the family. Chen Daolin... In the eyes of people, she is just a vassal.
Although the horses were rich, Chen Daolin could not ride a horse, so he naturally would not foolishly self-destruct, so he simply sat in the carriage.
Lan Lan obviously had a good riding skills, but she refused a horse led by Ge Yan, jumped onto a carriage and sat in the same place with Chen Daolin.
The carriages are all convertible trucks, and there are no carports. Chen Daolin and Lanlan were sitting in the car, and everyone around could see them.
Except for four people in the Tulip family who served as coachmen, the rest, including Ge Yan, rode on horseback.
Before leaving, Chen Daolin went to visit the elf elder. He always felt that the elf elder took the initiative to invite him to go to the business. This time he came here, but happened to meet the Tulips caravan and did not do much business. However, the elf elder seemed to not care. Instead, he encouraged Chen Daolin a few words, and enthusiastically stated that his tribe would always welcome Chen Daolin's arrival in the future. At any time, when he came to the business, he would be welcomed by the vegetarian elves.
But until the end, the elf elder didn't say anything useful. This kind of polite words made Chen Daolin even more confused - but since that's the case, I'll just keep it as a mystery in my heart for the time being.
The team set off the road after lunch and left the Elf Tribe.
Walking with this team at least seems to be much safer.
Geyan sent a subordinate to ride a horse at the front of the team, and carried a flag, which clearly had the pattern of flame tulips.
Lan Lan explained to Chen Daolin: In this frozen forest, there are territories of various elves along the way, and outsiders are never welcome to enter. Only by holding the flag of the tulip family can the elves passing along the way not come to harass.
The carriages were inconvenient to walk in the forest, so the convoy had to walk along the open area by the lake.
This is exactly what Chen Daolin thought - his crossing gate is in the woods not far from the lakeside of Dayuan Lake.
Walk south along the lakeside. The speed of riding a horse and driving is naturally much faster than Chen Daolin’s two walks before.
After walking like this for about four days, according to Ge Yan and others, he had already left the territory of the vegetation and elves tribe on the lakeside of the northern section of Dayuan.
And the atmosphere in the team seemed to change with each other.
While camping that night, Ge Yan had already pulled seven or eight subordinates to the side and discussed for a while. Then several subordinates walked into the woods, not knowing what to do, and came back after a while.
In the middle of the night, Chen Daolin was sleeping in a daze and suddenly was awakened by a movement outside.
He immediately subconsciously touched the elf dagger next to his head. Seeing that the dagger did not emit a warning light, he felt a little relieved.
When he climbed out of the tent, Lan Lan was already standing outside the tent, holding a short sword in his hand, looked at Chen Daolin, and whispered: "Nothing... they caught some prey."
Chen Daolin stood beside Lan Lan and saw Ge Yan coming back from the forest with seven or eight companions. They were holding swords or crossbow weapons in their hands, and some of them had undried blood on them.
Behind the team, two of the strongest men were working together to carry a strong wolf. The wolf's hair was shining with silver-gray light and horns grew on its forehead. It was clearly the kind of monster Chen Daolin had encountered.
And a few men were carrying a monster's corpse at the end of the team, using a huge net bag.
The monster in the net bag looked like a crocodile from a distance, with thick horns and thick skin all over the body, long crocodile mouth, and long flat tail. However, unlike the crocodile, this monster has eight legs. Although the legs and feet are short, they are thick and powerful. The strong cortex clearly has amazing full muscles.
These caravan followers of the Tulips family carried their prey back to the camp and put them down next to the fire.
Ge Yan and others were in a happy mood and laughter.
Then they started working overnight, nailing the wolf's body to the tree trunk with nails, and then skillfully tidied it off and peeled off a whole piece of wolf skin.
A skilled veteran in the team immediately found some special materials and made the wolf skin.
Ge Yan even cut open the wolf's head with his own hands, dig out the wolf's horns and roots from it, and then dug out the demon wolf's magic core.
"That's an adult storm demon wolf." Lan Lan whispered: "This wolf skin is made into a cloak, but it is very good armor. It is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through. The wolf horn and the magic core can be sold to the Magic Guild at a very expensive price. If the wolf horn of a demon wolf is of good quality, it can be sold for hundreds of gold coins. I think the demon wolf they have hit is of high level, and the wolf horn is of good quality and can be sold at a good price."
"What is that?" Chen Daolin pointed to the monster that looked like a crocodile.
"A dragon burying the ground." Lan Lan said: "The earth-type monster is not a high-level monster, but it has the ability to petrify the skills. When encountering enemies, you can petrify your skin, making it difficult to hurt the sword, and you are good at impressing the ground. Don't look at it, it's actually fast and difficult to deal with."
After pausing, Lan Lan looked at Chen Daolin: "The magic core of this earth dragon is not valuable, but there is a gland sac in its body, which can secrete a wonderful liquid that makes the flesh and blood stool hard and as hard as a stone. After applying it, the effective time can last for nearly an hour. This thing is very popular in the Roland Empire."
At the end of the conversation, Lanlan blushed and glanced at Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin was a little confused at first, then saw the blush on Lanlan's face and suddenly woke up.
I'm sorry... this is the Indian magic oil!
"These Tulips caravans are also part-time jobs as hunters." Chen Daolin sighed.
Lan Lan smiled and whispered: "You must understand that they are all family members who are kept in the Tulips family. Those who can be selected to go to the Ice Forest line to conduct business, of course, they are carefully selected. Whether it is courage or skill, they are all selected from the crowd. But even so, going north to the Ice Forest is still a dangerous job after all. Not to mention the territory of the Orc Kingdom on the way, there are even more monsters in the Ice Forest, although the elves are facing the Tulips Family.
It has always been friendly, but there are always some extremely paranoid and conservative elf tribes who do not sell the Tulip family's face. In short, those who are willing to come north to do this will naturally put their heads on their belts to work. When they go to a business, they can make a lot of wealth, but they are all family money. Although the rewards they receive are not low, they are fighting for their lives. Who doesn't want to make more money? So the family allows them to give themselves some selfish interests at the right time."
"oh?"
"There are many monsters in the frozen forest. Although they are dangerous, all monsters are full of treasures. These things can be sold at high prices when they are put into the empire." Lan Lan said: "None of these tulip warriors is weak. Since they enter the treasure mountain, how can they return empty-handed? Their tradition is that every time they return, after the goods are sold, they can do several hunts with the consent of the leader, and the income from the hunting collection and shipping to the empire for sale is the private property of these samurai, and the family will not care about these. Moreover, these things are transported to the country with the caravan. In the name of the tulip family, there is no need to pay taxes. It is also a disguised subsidy for them by the family."
Chen Daolin nodded.
The hunting and collection of goods this night made Ge Yan and others very satisfied. When they camped for three consecutive nights, Ge Yan would bring people into the woods.
These guys are all veterans in the jungle, and they are very skilled in setting up condoms and other tasks. Moreover, they are very smart and will never provoke those high-level monsters that are strong and cannot repay them. They only attack some medium and low-level monsters.
For four consecutive nights, he did not return empty-handed every night, and Ge Yan and others smiled happily.
But on the fifth night, Ge Yan ordered that he would not be allowed to hunt again.
Obviously, the tulip family is still very rational. Although the hunting income is all in everyone's personal pockets, he is very clear about the consequences of being greedy. He and his group hunted for several days and received goods. As the saying goes, they often walk by the river, and they will inevitably not get wet their shoes. They can just stop when they see it. If they are really addicted to hunting, what if something goes wrong...
You should know that all the income from the goods received in this transaction is still in the fleet! Hunting can make some money, but if there is a problem with the goods of these cars, it will not be worth the loss.
Obviously, if this Ge Yan can get into the leader of a caravan, he can still distinguish between weight and degree.
The people in the team believed him very much. Since Ge Yan said that hunting was not allowed, everyone had no objection.
And when I was camping that night, Chen Daolin was thinking about something in his mind.
Because from the afternoon, he observed the surrounding terrain and according to his memory, the coordinates of the door he had traveled through were getting closer and closer!
After camping in the evening, Chen Daolin carefully calculated during dinner that the camping place was not too far from the door.
He couldn't help but look a little absent-minded when he was thinking about the matter. Fortunately, Ge Yan and others were happy to make a fortune, and no one would care about Chen Daolin.
As for Lanlan, although he saw that Chen Daolin seemed to have something to do, he only thought that he was worried about the trouble after returning to Roland as he went further and further, but he did not expect anything else.
At night, Chen Daolin waited patiently in the tent until midnight before climbing up and carrying the magic bag behind him.
He inserted the dagger around his waist, hung the crossbow arrow on his thigh, and quietly climbed out of the tent.
Lanlan's tent was close to him not far away. As soon as Chen Daolin climbed out, Lanlan heard the movement and said from a distance: "Darling? Is it you?"
Chen Daolin coughed and said, "Well, I drink a lot of that soup tonight, I..."
Lan Lan suddenly became silent.
Chen Daolin walked away quickly and walked a few steps. Next to the campsite, there was a samurai from the Tulip House who was vigilant sitting by the campfire. One of them looked at Chen Daolin: "Hey? Where can I go?"
Chen Daolin pretended to be a bitter smile, covered his stomach, and pointed in the woods.
The two of them didn't think much about it, laughed and watched Chen Daolin get into the woods. They were still whispering, with some contempt in their words.
Chen Dao entered the woods and breathed a sigh of relief. He took out a compass from his pocket, identified the direction, and trotted quickly.
He had the magic daggers of the elves to protect him, so he was not worried about the sudden danger. However, he ran alone in the woods in the middle of the night, and Chen Daolin was worried after all.
Fortunately, my memory was not wrong. After running for about a meal, I found the direction of the gate of traveling through time.
Chen Daolin stopped and looked around, making sure no one followed him, and then walked into the bushes.
Gradually, the door panel appeared in the air, and Chen Daolin breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a little struggle arose in his heart.
If I just opened the door and went back, there would naturally be no trouble. The goods I received this trip were already big enough. A bag of gold coins and the four gold wire fire diamonds would definitely be able to get rich when I returned.
But...blue...
Alas, Chen Daolin sighed and gave up the idea of running away.
He tried to move the door frame of the crossing door, and found that the door frame could actually move, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is easy to deal with.
He took off the magic bag, then carefully placed the door frame flat and stuffed it into the bag bit by bit.
This magic bag is indeed magical. As soon as the huge door frame approaches the bag, it immediately seems to have no volume limit and is easily stuffed into it.
Chen Daolin stuffed the door frame in, and then he was worried, so he took it out again, opened the door and looked inside, and confirmed that the other side of the door was indeed his own world.
Then I finally felt at ease, put the door frame in and went into the bag, and became more and more excited!
With this magic storage baggage, it is indeed convenient!
In the future, you can carry this time-traveling gate with you. Wouldn’t you think you can go back when you go back?
Chen Daolin was very proud and immediately started back.
After identifying the direction, I walked for a while, but found something was wrong!
Although I have a compass, the general direction is correct.
But the problem is that Chen Daolin is a real-life otaku after all. Although he has had a lot of experience walking in this frozen forest, he is still just a half-tongued one after all. What's more, he is rushing in the woods in the middle of the night, even a veteran will inevitably make mistakes, let alone a rookie?
Chen Dao left for nearly an hour, and then had to helplessly admit a fact:
To be continued...
