In the past three days, he only found a fine gold knife, which was even half smaller than the one he found before, and nothing else!
He knew that his search would definitely miss something, but it wouldn't take three days to find a knife!
In order to find more things in these three days, Xia Duo also selected a few places where he thought there might be treasures, and did not search sequentially according to the "grid method".
Did you happen to choose an "empty box"? Or is the "prize" itself very barren?
Xia Duo can continue to verify, but in fact there is not much need, because the "Lucky Owen" will arrive tomorrow, and the elemental aura on the "Water Element Road" outside the mystery lock has indeed become heavier and heavier in the past few days.
Although it has not yet caused obvious changes in the plants on the "Water Element Path", but——
He has decided to report the ruins to Niya when he returns to the Tower of Time this time!
Taking one last look at the unsearched ruins in most of the area, Xia Duo rushed to the periphery of the ruins without looking back, crossing the dividing line between decay and vitality.
The space transitioned smoothly beyond the mystery lock, and Xia Duo kept running towards the landing point camp, where the future Linshui Village would be located.
…
Two days later, the "Lucky Owen" lowered the gangplank at the landing site, and more than a dozen strong crew members began to carry supplies down, mainly food and tools.
Xia Duo was a little disappointed when he didn't see any additional personnel, but he still asked as usual: "Captain Owen, how many supplies were transported this time?"
"Sir, the supplies on board this time include a total of 20,000 pounds of flour, 20 pounds of salt, 50 shovels customized by you, 20 long saws, and 3 boxes of various insect repellent, animal repellent, detoxification, and healing medicines."
Old Owen took out a list and read it over before handing it to Shado, "Sir, Steward Arman from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce said that the materials here are valued at 1,000 gold coins. Old Owen has personally counted them and there are no problems."
"Yeah." Xia Duo took the list, glanced at it and put it into his pocket. His cooperation with the Liaton Chamber of Commerce was basically based on his credibility, or integrity.
If Xia Duo regrets in the future and is unwilling to pay with magic items, or simply kills the donkey, the other party actually does not have much choice.
Of course, even if he did not consider the constraints of the sacred contract, Shado would not go back on his word. He still had the basic bottom line, and he also believed that the Lyadon Chamber of Commerce would not dare to fool him casually.
However, Old Irving's positivity made Xia Duo feel better about him, and it was not in vain that Xia Duo named his only cargo ship "Lucky Irving".
Thinking of this, Xia Duo's tone became more friendly, "Captain Owen, how is the development of the Saville Territory recently?"
The last time he went to the Tower of Time, he first went to the Arcane Federation. After returning, he became obsessed with spell research and didn't even talk to Arman.
In addition, Shado has stayed in the projection plane for more than a year, which has exceeded the time he spent in Savile Land. His impression of the development of Savile Land is already somewhat vague, and he does not know how far it has progressed there.
"Sir, the progress in the development of Savile Territory is amazing. When I came here, I heard that a large area of land had been leveled there and was being prepared for sowing wheat in autumn!"
Then, Old Owen vividly recounted some of the recent events in the Saville Territory, such as the mage killing the violent bear, the wild wolf sneak attack on the people of the territory, the lord rewarding the meritorious people, etc.
Old Owen has been sailing all his life and is very eloquent. Chateau also found it interesting, so the two started chatting on the bank of the river.
Suddenly, Xia Duo heard several low roars coming from the ship not far away, and he immediately asked, "Captain Owen, what else is on the ship? Why did I hear an animal barking!"
"Oh, damn it, I'm so confused, I almost forgot them!" Old Owen slapped his head violently and kept apologizing to Sha Duo.
"Okay, what's on the boat?" Xia Duo asked again.
"Sir, on board are three Langas hounds that Mrs. Patty asked me to bring you." Old Owen said quickly.
"hound?"
"Yes, sir, those are three strong young men. They are very good at hunting and housekeeping! It's a pity that only those barbarians in Langas know how to train such excellent hunting dogs!"
Old Owen had a look of regret on his face, while Xia Duo was also a little annoyed. His hometown has a history of raising dogs for thousands of years, and he should have thought of it a long time ago. How great it would be to get some dogs to look after the family and protect the home!
And now Mrs. Patty is sending him a hound? The first thing Chateau thought of was-how much would it cost?
However, Shado did not ask so directly after all, "Captain Owen, does Mrs. Patty have anything to say for you to bring over?"
"Yes, Steward Arman conveyed it. He said that these three Langas hounds were purchased by Mrs. Patty from the mainland and given to you for territory development."
this--
If this dog accepts money, Xia Duo will feel distressed, but if he doesn't accept money, he will be worried about gains and losses, and it's a debt of gratitude!
He hopes that everything can be clearly marked with a price, but that is just a fantasy. Whenever there is interpersonal communication, relationships will arise. Xia Duo just instinctively does not want to owe others anything.
However, Xia Duo is not an instinctive creature. After rational consideration, he accepted it very calmly.
There is no reason to avoid the advantage of having it delivered to your door without any hidden dangers. And in a higher level of thinking, it is also beneficial to maintain a certain amount of human relations.
No one likes people who are overly greedy or indifferent, and Xia Duo is no exception. This is just like how even bad people wish there were more good people in the world.
"Go back and thank Mrs. Patty for me. If I have a chance next time, I will express my gratitude to her in person."
Seeing that the supplies were about to be completely unloaded, Xia Duo waved his hand and called out to Old Owen, "Let's go and see how good this Langas hound you mentioned is!"
"Sir, I promise they won't let you down!"
…
In the cabin of the "Lucky Owen", a thin man sat quietly leaning against the beam. He only occasionally gently stroked the backs of the big gray-white dogs beside him to comfort them, which were not used to the ship.
There was sadness, resentment, and dissatisfaction in the man's eyes, but in the end they all turned into deep loneliness. He was waiting for his master to arrive.
Since being expelled from the tribe, he has been traveling around the territory of Nese for many years, determined to find a powerful mage master, a master who can take him back to the tribe and prove his worth to the elders!
If he cannot get the approval of the elders before his death, his soul will not find final peace.
It's just that in all this time in Netheril, he has never met a master who is strong enough and willing to prove it for him.
But those Nese mages either looked down upon him, or were simply unwilling to participate in what they regarded as a very barbaric blood trial.
As for those who want to deceive him, he is not stupid. He knows that the gods of the Nese people can witness the contract, and every time the sacred contract is mentioned, those people will flee.
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but touch his chest, where there were two sacred contracts.
