Chapter 60 The Convenience Provided by Old Friends
With the agreement, Belshire and David happily ended the day's trading.
Twelve warriors, together with David, took the orc slaves who from now on belonged to the Hill family back to the rented courtyard.
Belshire didn't turn around.
Today's families have almost completely dealt with the resources on hand, but there is still one very important matter that has not been dealt with.
Matthew's body!
Matthew is a big shot among the Shadow Thieves, and his death can cause a sensation in the Red Leaf Territory.
According to Belshire's original intention, since the Shadow Thief dared to reach out to their family, his body should be carried out openly and paraded through the streets of Hongye Ling!
This will deter the rest of the Shadow Thief forces.
But David knew all the information about Matthew before his death, and immediately made tactful suggestions to his father.
Matthew was injured, quite seriously.
Who hurt him?
If you parade around the streets with great fanfare, will you take part of the blame for others?
If the Shadow Thieves themselves have no intention of targeting the Hill family, doing so will undoubtedly cause trouble in vain.
There may be some gold coin rewards, but where can I make a fortune in silence?
Making a fortune in silence... This statement made Bell Hill's heart flutter!
Hence his trip to visit old friends.
And Belshire's old friend is none other than the Black Mamba, one of the most powerful combat forces under Lord Red Leaf!
David Hill felt a little relieved.
This trip to the Red Leaf Collar was a huge harvest for him, but many of his ideas were undoubtedly ruined.
Even though he was out of his father's sight at this moment, he was still under the heavy protection of the family warriors.
David Hill is the best son among the soldiers.
It is the hope for the rise of the Hill family in Calabash Valley!
Faced with such sincere protection from those around him, what else could David do?
He can only accept it.
Fortunately, he had just harvested the soul of a master blacksmith. When David thought of this, he immediately had the urge to transform him into a spirit of faith.
Matthew can bring security to the manor, and the master blacksmith can bring wealth to David!
By leading eighty-one orcs through the city, the Hill family gained a lot of attention.
When David Hill returned to the rented residence, he happened to see the uncle whose father was sending the Black Mamba out.
What a high efficiency!
Such a direct and straightforward person.
At this moment, Black Mamba was holding a bag in his hand. David didn't need to open it to know that it was poor Matthew's body that had been chopped into many pieces.
"Hello, uncle! We meet again, why don't you sit down for a while?" David greeted politely and sweetly.
"Hahaha...Business matters. Let's catch up on old times after I finish taking care of things for you." After saying that, the strong man Black Mamba lowered his steel mask and mounted his horse.
The courtyards in Hongye Territory were built by the lords for each caravan, and they are large enough inside.
Even if there were eighty-one orcs settled in, it would only make the whole courtyard lively without creating a feeling of crowding.
"Father, you are so fast!" David couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Your Uncle Black Mamba is a very direct person. I just said this and he immediately agreed and said he would strive for the maximum reward amount for us." Bell Hill did not hide the truth.
"Then how did you get to know and associate with him? I don't think he has a good attitude towards Uncle William." David was very curious about the relationship between the three.
"We have cooperated several times before when we first got here, so we are familiar with it. As for that guy William, I can't stand the roughness of your Uncle Black Mamba, and your Uncle Black Mamba can't stand the pretentiousness of that bastard William.
." Belshire was also speechless. There was no direct conflict between the two, they just disliked each other by nature.
There's no cure for this!
"Then how much living and production materials does the family need to buy? And how to transport them back?" David could only change the topic.
"The family's serfs, miners, plus this group of orcs, servants, and followers, there are a total of 700 people. Our land output is very small, but it can also solve some of the ration gaps. From here,
Pulling 10,000 kilograms of grain should be enough to last until the next transaction.
In addition, we need to buy some salt, seeds, iron tools..." Belshire was instilling in his son the difficulties of being a lord.
David made some estimates and found that 10,000 kilograms of grain would cost ten tons.
In the previous life, one car could easily pull it away.
But this is a foggy world, there are no roads, and the cars are not good enough.
If we use large trucks to haul grain, three trucks are needed for 10,000 kilograms.
But now there are only three vehicles on my side, and they still have to haul dried meat and supplies needed on the way.
David Hill wants to help the family without revealing his secrets.
But this is difficult.
David believed in his father, but in a world like this, the fewer people who knew the secret, the safer it was.
He is also worried that sharing secrets will deteriorate the relationship between father and son.
This is also the reason why David is a little more "selfish".
