"Besides the Blackwater Chamber of Commerce, are there other chambers of commerce nearby?"
Luna Xueyu was about to answer when she suddenly remembered something: "By the way, master, you want to know about the situation of the chamber of commerce. I have someone here who knows more than me."
"So where is he?"
"I'll take you there."
"Help... help~."
Before flying close, Jose heard a weak cry for help, and looked towards the source of the sound—a strange bird's nest, surrounded by a fence made of wooden sticks, and thorns were wrapped around the fence, and there was no other way except for flying in through the entrance open to the sky. There is no other way, it seems to be the prison of the harpies.
Jose looked into the prison, and there was a black and thin strip lying inside the prison. The strip was thin and bony, the ribs on the chest were clearly visible, the long-haired black skin protruded from its body, and two burnt yellow sticks protruded from its mouth. Fang, it was the one that made the cry for help just now.
"What is this?!"
"Master, he is not a thing, the person I am talking about is him."
The words of the thin black strip were weak: "Great true dragon, I... I am the wild boar merchant—Hulk, a grassland trader."
Jose frowned, and looked at the wild boar with more sympathy. If he didn't speak, who would recognize this skinny guy as a big and round wild boar.
As for why it became like this, it was because the Harpy had drained him dry.
All Harpies are females. If they want to breed offspring, they have to borrow seeds from males of other races. When they meet a male they like, they will try their best to capture it alive, and bring the prey back to the nest to enjoy slowly.
Don't think that this is a wonderful experience. In fact, being a breeding machine for the harpies is more painful than most fatal criminal laws.
The furry and blood-drinking harpies don't know what gentleness is, and they're done when they feel comfortable. The most important thing is that the harpies are not one or two, but a group of people lined up.
Most people fall into their hands, and within a week they have a nervous breakdown.
"Dear True Dragon, I beg you to save me."
"Save you?" Jose looked at the wild boar man with a dirty body but bright eyes with great interest: "What's the benefit of saving you?"
"I am a merchant under the Conch Chamber of Commerce. If you let me go, if I become prosperous in the future, I will definitely repay you well."
"It's interesting." Jose turned to the family members beside him: "How long has he been caught by you?"
"About ten days."
Jose became more interested in the quilboar.
It was very rare for a businessman to appear among the wild boars who were known for their stupidity. After falling into the hands of the harpies for ten days, they were squeezed until they were skinny and did not have a mental breakdown. On the contrary, their thinking logic was still very clear, which was even rarer.
This wild boar man's will is so firm, if the time is right, he might really be able to make a career out of it.
It just so happened that Jose could give him this chance.
"Luna, give him some food and water."
The wild boar merchant wolfed down the food sent by the harpies, and then poured another large pot of water, regaining some vitality, and his mind became much more active.
From what the harpies said just now, he learned that the arrival of the red dragon was not accidental, but brought by the harpies on their own initiative, so he must have something to ask for, and if he can seize this opportunity to show his value, he can borrow The Red Dragon's Hand escapes the clutches of the Harpy.
With this in mind, Hulk struggled to stand up, and gave a greeting that was not standard, but passable.
"Thank you for giving me food, kind dragon, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I want to know the distribution of nearby grassland forces, especially the situation of human chambers of commerce, whether it is your chamber of commerce or other chambers of commerce, and how do these chambers of commerce operate?"
"You have a lot of questions, let me answer the first one."
Organized his language, Hulk continued: "Great true dragon, in the outside world, our small piece of grassland at the junction of the three lands is called the Triangle Plain, and the entire Triangle Plain, if you don't count the numerous small tribes, is also There are only three medium-sized tribes on the table, one is the gray-tailed centaur, the other is the black raven orc, and the last one is the stone-tooth wild boar tribe I belong to."
"The three tribes have their own advantages. The gray-tailed centaur has strong mobility and can come and go like the wind. The black crow orcs are brave and good at fighting. There are also a group of goblin vassals. We have a large number of stone-tooth wild boar tribes. The tribe's headquarters is located in Aoda Lushan Hill is also protected by thorny forests."
"As for the Chamber of Commerce," Hulk lowered his head to organize his words for a while, then raised his head to look at Jose: "There is a business camp near the Black Crow orc tribe. This camp is protected by the Black Crow Clan and is called Crossroads Camp. Merchants settled there, and the indigenous tribes of the entire Triangular Plain would send their goods to the crossroads, and sometimes merchants would come to buy them.”
"As for the interest dispute between chambers of commerce, how it works is too complicated, and I won't be able to explain it for a while."
"I don't know, I'll take care of it myself," Jose said as he took out a scale.
Today is really my lucky day. Not only did I harvest a dragon-born harpy, I also planted spies on the gray-tailed centaur, and I also got an experienced wild boar merchant as a gift.
Whether it was from the perspective of observing the Stonetooth Wildboar tribe, from the perspective of understanding the situation in the grassland, or from the perspective of opening up the bloodtooth tribe's foreign trade routes, Jose should take the Wildboar in front of him as his family.
"Don't resist."
resistance
nonexistent!
Hulk was ecstatic, not to mention the long lifespan and soaring strength after being transformed into a dragonborn, just getting rid of the current hell situation made him unable to refuse.
What's more, with a real dragon as a backer, you can do things you wanted to do but didn't dare to do before, and when the real dragon grows up, the benefits you will get are immeasurable.
Without any accident, Jose's fourth dependent was born.
"Lucky guy," Luna Bloodfeather murmured softly.
"Since we are all subordinates of the master, then we are our own people. Just to remind you, it is not accidental that you led a group of merchants to encounter a large number of centaurs. Long before you set off, Gray Tail Khan entrusted us to pay attention to you The situation of the caravan."
"Gray-tailed Centaur?! Blackwater Chamber of Commerce?!"
"So that's it! This is a conspiracy! A conspiracy against the Conch Chamber of Commerce!" Hulk clenched his fists in anger, panting, and calmed down after a while, his eyes were uncertain.
Jose was a little interested in the grievances between the two chambers of commerce, but he didn't ask. After signing the family contract, he could read the memory of his servants. He planned to read it carefully after he went back, and he was not in a hurry.
He turned his head to look at the sunset that was about to set in the sky.
"Luna, send your companion back to the grassland, uh..."
He looked at Hulk's pitiful appearance again: "Forget it, let him accumulate some fat before sending it back, otherwise it would be too shameful."
