The end of the mountain road is at the foot of the mountain near the Forbidden Forest. When everyone climbed out of the cave, Lu Xidong made sure that everyone was safe.
Rolf used the prepared stones to block the entrance of the cave from the outside to prevent pursuers from pursuing him. In this way, he would not be able to return to Zenda City.
Lu Xidong was very happy to invite him to his territory. Rolf had good skills in making knives, and he had been dealing with smugglers for a long time. He could help him in many ways in the future.
Unable to resist Lucidong's warm invitation, Rolf agreed to move to the Goblin camp with the Grote brothers. This made the dwarf brothers extremely happy. They were talking and laughing along the way and completely forgot about it. The unhappiness that happened in the free trade city.
Lu Xidong lost all the goods and money he brought, and even the horned sheep used as leg power were confiscated by the dwarf guard. At this time, he had to take everyone home on foot.
But all the losses and efforts were worth it, because they brought back highly skilled dwarves, and many of the problems that troubled Lu Xidong would be solved.
Unexpectedly, the first thing to be solved was Lu Xidong's dietary problem.
The food along the way is collected by the goblins. Various small cave-dwelling animals, such as ground sheep, moles, etc., are the main source of food for the goblins. Sometimes it seems that they can find fresh meat just by digging. superior.
If it were Lu Xidong in his previous life, he would definitely be repulsed by things that resembled rat meat. However, after being processed by the goblins, after removing the head and tail, only the delicate and tender pieces of meat were left. As long as you don't think about those things The prototype was barely acceptable to Lu Xidong.
After all, compared to one's own aesthetics and preferences, survival is the most important thing.
But Lu Xidong still couldn't accept being eaten raw with blood on his skin. After all, he was not a beast like the Japanese that eats hair and drinks blood. Therefore, since he was reincarnated into this world, he has not eaten any meat yet, and his protein intake is extremely insufficient.
Now it’s good, dwarves also eat cooked food, especially Magni, who is a guy who really likes to study food. He carefully washed the raw meat that the goblins had prepared, and then mixed it with some plant leaves along the way and mixed it with mud. Wrap it up, simply dig a hole and bury it.
While the goblin was chewing the raw meat that was full of bloodshot eyes, he looked at Magni "ruining" the food with confusion, completely confused as to what the other person was doing.
Lu Xidong had somewhat guessed it. He remembered seeing a dish called "Beggar's Chicken" in the past, which seemed to be made in this way.
Sure enough, the dwarf then piled the collected dry firewood on top of the buried pit, took out the saltpeter he brought with him, and lit a fire on it. When the fire burned out, Magni dug out the meat wrapped in leaves.
The dwarves carry spices with them, and Magni has already sprinkled salt and other condiments into the pieces of meat. As soon as the muddy leaves are peeled off, the meat smells fragrant.
"Sir, please have a taste. This is our dwarves' method of simmering meat." Brother Grote held the roasted mutton and invited Lu Xidong to taste it.
Magni's craftsmanship was excellent, and the wild lamb meat in the Forbidden Forest was also very delicious. Lu Xidong salivated and quickly ate up the stewed meat that the dwarf put in front of him.
On the subsequent journey, not only the stewed meat, but also the fresh fish in the river were made into grilled fish with full color, flavor and flavor. In just a few days after returning to the territory, Lu Xidong rediscovered one of the great qualities of a human being. Fun—eating.
In his previous life, he heard from experts that eating cooked food can promote brain development, so Lu Xidong strictly ordered Silva and the others to follow the example of the dwarves and cook cooked food. After all, Lu Xidong thought they were stupid.
Silva and the other goblins, who were trying to eat cooked meat for the first time, looked at each other in confusion, as if they were being punished. However, they did not turn around and run away because of Lucidong's strict order.
But when they tasted the cooked meat, every goblin had a look of surprise, satisfaction and aftertaste in their eyes. After that, they were asked to eat raw meat with bloody flesh. Silva and the others shook their heads.
"Yeah, yeah," Lu Xidong nodded, thinking that the brains of these guys have indeed developed. Don't you know that the taste buds of the goblins have developed.
In this way, on the fifth day after leaving Zenda Tianqi Mountain Road, Lu Xidong and his party returned to the settlement of goblins and ogres.
After setting off from the territory, the total time spent was less than two weeks, but Lu Xidong already missed this place a little, and it actually made him feel like this was "home".
Seeing Lu Xidong's return, the sentry scouts quickly ran back to deliver the message. The nearby big goblins and one-horned trolls came out to greet him with thunderous cheers.
It's a pity that Lu Xidong dug into his pockets and found that he didn't bring back any souvenirs. If the dwarf counted, he did bring back four.
After receiving the scout's report, Guruva and Tirdan ran over first, saluted, and said with joy on their faces: "Master, welcome back!"
Lu Xidong nodded and observed as he walked. Everything in the territory was as usual, and there were no signs of being attacked by living corpses or other monsters. He felt a little relieved.
Silva and the others went to talk to their relatives. It was time to introduce the dwarves to everyone. When Lu Xidong turned around, he found Magni and others standing there stiffly, not daring to move.
"Gentlemen, what's wrong with you?" Because he was a senior craftsman who contributed his skills, Lu Xidong respected the dwarves very much and addressed them as "sir".
"There are... there are ogres." Magni said tremblingly. Although he seemed to have a hot temper, he was not fearless.
"Yes, they are ogres." Lu Xidong did not deny it. Although they had evolved into one-horned trolls, the appearance of the ogres had not changed much, so denying it would not help, so he readily admitted it. .
"Then why don't you run away... This is a C-level monster." Dorum asked doubtfully. The dwarves did not expect that there were ogres here.
Speaking of which, both dwarves and goblins seem to come from the same ancestor - the ancient elves.
This can be proven by their pointed ears and other subtle features. However, both sides are "deformities" that appeared in the evolution process of ancient elves. Maybe it is mainly due to the difference in living environment and the crossbreeding of blood, right
So the dwarves are half-elves, and their lifespan is similar to that of the elves, and they can live a long time; while the goblins are half-demon, and their lifespan is shorter than that of the humans.
But after all, we all share the same ancestry. Once we get to know each other, I believe we can get along well with each other. This is why the three Grote brothers proposed to join Lu Xidong's group.
But dwarves and ogres, unlike goblins and ogres, are both monsters. They also have some similarities. How can they live in harmony in the future
As your territory expands and the types of monsters increase, how can you solve similar integration problems? Another problem faced Lu Xidong.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's no problem," Lu Xidong waved his hand, and all the ogres bowed to the ground, "These are my subordinates, they will strictly abide by my prohibitions, gentlemen, you can rest assured. "
Yes, Lu Xidong has already conveyed to the ogres the three rules of "no attacks on humans", "no internal strife and betrayal" and "peaceful coexistence with other races". Now that there is sufficient food in the camp, the ogres also There's absolutely no need to attack the dwarves, they're not tasty.
"Yes, I can swear on behalf of my people that we, the one-horned trolls, will definitely not harm you." Tier promised with his huge mouth with flashing fangs, which looked so scary, but Lu Xidong believed that they were loyal. And those who keep their promises, after all, ogres are monsters with honor.
I don’t know if the dwarves were relieved, but in short, after Lu Xidong’s efforts, the two sides reached a consensus, and the dwarves did not really escape.
Of course, they had no chance. Lu Xidong personally accompanied the four dwarves on a tour of the territory. They would also live here in the future. As the owner, Lu Xidong had the obligation to entertain them well.
What's more, Lu Xidong had a purpose for inviting the dwarves back. It was time to get down to business.
When they came to the deep ditch where they were stranded, Lu Xidong pointed there and introduced: "I want to reorganize the territory and set up some defensive measures. I wonder if you gentlemen have any suggestions?"
Speaking of architecture, Mild was an expert. Everyone's eyes were fixed on him at this moment. The dumb dwarf engineer stretched out two fingers and made some gestures.
Lu Xidong suddenly realized it and gave a thumbs up, "Sure enough..."
