Although Gavin has been focusing on the Eagle Cliff Cave during this period, the development of the Black Well Tribe has not stagnated at all. The population has also exceeded the 2,500 mark. Compared with the explosive growth of the Eagle Cliff Cave, this side is indeed a bit slow, but the value is stable. There is another reason that slows down the pace of Black Well's development. Black Well needs to send blood transfusions to the outside, not only to transport food to the Eagle Cliff Cave, but also to send people to the Pit Tribe. As an internal subsidiary, the Pit has a certain degree of confidentiality and closure. It implements closed-loop management and does not directly recruit dog-headed people from outside. Instead, it selects them through Black Well and transfuses them here. So far, the population of the Pit Tribe is only about 800, but they are all professionals in excavation and traps. The number of spirit crystals produced by the spirit crystal mine is already twice that of the goblin era. The biggest change in the Black Well Tribe is still in the outer square. Two rows of stone houses have sprung up and started to act as hotels and shops. They not only trade with human merchants, but also with the surrounding dog-headed tribes. Gavin's thunderous measures against Clay had the desired effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Even if there were merchants from other dog-headed tribes, the human merchants headed by Bede only did business with Gavin and Black Well, and ignored other dog-headed people.
Perhaps, Gavin's method of killing Clay was too brutal, which frightened those merchants a little. It is also possible that his awakening of Bede played a role, or it is possible that the trade here has become relatively stable. Anyway, the number of trips to Black Well by the business owners themselves is getting less and less, and more of them are handed over to agents to manage. The outline of a chamber of commerce has already seen its infancy. Gavin doesn't care about these, as long as the business owners can transport their goods out and bring in the materials they need. There are two more business owners who run to the Black Well tribe the most frequently, one is Bede, and the other is Hansen. This time, Gavin returned to Black Well mainly to meet these two. When Gavin entered the house, the two business owners were leisurely eating barbecue and drinking beer. "Brother Gavin, you are finally back. It's a good thing that Brother Hansen came with me this time, otherwise I would be bored to death here." Bed was still enthusiastic. He rushed up to give Gavin a big hug and couldn't help but compare their heights and said, "Brother Gavin, have you grown taller recently? Uncle can hardly reach your shoulders." Gavin couldn't help but laugh and said, "I don't know if I have grown taller, but Uncle's belly has definitely grown, making your arms look shorter." "It's not impossible." Bed touched his round belly and said, "This is all thanks to you. Business is good, eating well, sleeping well, and weight naturally increases." "I say, Uncle Bed, you should also exercise properly. If you keep getting fatter, you will really become a ball." "Who said I don't exercise?" Bed tried to open his eyes wide. He narrowed his eyes, "I'm definitely not as hardworking as Brother Gavin, but most people don't train as much as I do. Feel it, it's so firm, it's not all fat, but this belly is getting bigger and bigger, I can't do anything about it." "That still shows that you haven't put in enough effort, you just move your legs, but don't control your mouth." Gavin hit the nail on the head, "If Uncle Bed really wants to lose weight, take three months, come to my place, eat and sleep with me, I promise to give you a strong body." When he thought of Gavin's abnormal training intensity, Bed couldn't help but shudder, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not that far yet, there are still many businesses waiting for me to arrange outside, let's talk about business first, talk about business first." Gavin was just talking nonsense. If Bed really wanted to come, he didn't have the time to accompany him, not to mention three months, three days would be too much. After sitting down again, Gavin just greeted another business owner, Hansen, indifferently. Every time he saw Hansen, Gavin couldn't help but sigh at the impermanence of the world. The person he thought was a troublemaker was now sitting with him to discuss business. On the contrary, the peacemaker was the most greedy one, and the grass on his grave was almost half a foot high. "Tell me, why did you ask us to wait for you to come back? Is there any big business to discuss with us?" Bed couldn't help asking, his eyes kept looking at the small wooden box that Gavin brought in. "Uncle Bed can't hide anything. There is indeed a batch of special goods that need to be sold." Gavin was certainly not just reminiscing about the past, "Let's take a look at the goods first." Gavin didn't continue to talk nonsense, and directly opened the small wooden box he carried with him. It was filled with silk cotton, and in the middle was a giant egg the size of a head, covered with eagle feather-like patterns.
Bede and Hansen's two big heads came up at the same time. Bed asked uncertainly, "Is this the egg of the harpy?" Gavin nodded and praised sincerely, "Uncle Bed, you are really knowledgeable. This is indeed the egg of the harpy. I wonder if you are interested in buying it?" Looking at the expressions on Bed and Hansen's faces, I knew that I had asked this question in vain. They were not only interested, but also very interested. Bed said excitedly, "How much of this kind of goods do you have? What is your psychological price?" "Uncle Bed, how much can you offer?" Gavin asked instead of answering. This kind of goods is quite special and it is indeed a bit difficult to measure the price. This little fox. Bede couldn't help but glance at Hansen, knowing that once he chose to argue, the guy in front of him, who was younger than his own son, could argue better than him, and stretched out three fingers towards Gavin. Gavin raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't do charades and report the numbers directly. Otherwise, don't blame me for following you in circles." This little bastard. Bede bared his teeth and said, "Three thousand gold coins. I can get three thousand gold coins out of each. How many there are, I will eat as much as I can." "Five thousand gold coins, eight in total, I'll package them all and sell them to you." Gavin counter-offered on the spot. "Five thousand? Why don't you go and grab it?" Bede shook his head repeatedly. "Three thousand is already the price I can give you. You have to know that there are relatively limited merchants who can afford this kind of product and like it." "We can't stock up on this kind of goods, we have to sell them as soon as possible. I don't know how much I can make from it." "Uncle Bede, don't talk to me here. There is no shortage of curious merchants in Sambia who are interested in this kind of goods. At worst, they can transport it to Sale and sell it to those red-robed mages. The price of each pill will not be lower than six thousand, so let me take a step back and give you eight pills in a package of thirty-five thousand." Gavin began to talk nonsense based on the limited knowledge he had in his previous life. "Thirty thousand, eight thirty thousand." Bede also took a step back. "Thirty-two thousand, if it works, we'll make the deal. If it doesn't work, I'll keep it and hatch it for myself." Gavin looked like he would break up if it didn't work out. "Deal." Bede raised his fat hand with a smile on his face. Gavin smiled and high-fived him, concluding the deal, "Let me tell you in advance, for this deal, I don't want goods in exchange, I want cash, preferably gold coins. As for which country doesn't care, Cormyr's The Golden Lion, Sambia's Nubao, or Waterdeep City's Zhuo Gen are all fine, as long as they are of equal value." "What do you want so many gold coins for?" Bede was shocked. Then he remembered Gavin's rules, pretended to slap himself in the face and said: "I forgot, I forgot, I don't ask about your business. It's not impossible to ask for gold coins. It's just that I need time to prepare for so many gold coins." "No problem, you take the goods away first. Uncle Bede is right. This kind of goods has a shelf life, so we can't wait. The cash can be shipped with the next shipment. If you are in a hurry and can't prepare so much, first Just give me half of it." Gavin was very considerate of Bede's difficulties. Most of the commerce in Faerûn is still bartering, and there are relatively few places where large amounts of cash are used. This is a three-month commission prepared for the young dragon Ivinsa, and it does not need to be obtained at once. Bede laughed loudly and said: "Brother Gavin trusts your uncle so much. Uncle Bede, you can't be too cowardly. Thirty-two thousand gold coins are not a problem for me. Next time, the goods will be delivered together." "Then I'll bother Uncle Bede." Gavin didn't continue to be polite to him, and said a little more clearly, "From now on, I will need at least 10,000 gold coins every month. Uncle Bede should pay more attention and prepare. " "No problem." Bede said generously, "As long as you don't eat a lot in a short period of time, ten thousand gold coins per month is not difficult. As long as you have the goods, I will have enough gold coins." "With Uncle Bede's words, I feel relieved." Gavin said sincerely, "There is one more thing that I need Uncle Bede's help to pay attention to." "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will do my best." Bede, who had just completed a business that was sure to make a profit without losing money, was in a good mood.
"Help me pay attention to a magic item, the Wind Ball. The price does not exceed 50,000, and you can buy it." When Gavin was sweeping the young red dragon's nest, he suddenly remembered a common magic item in the dragon's nest. The greatest function of this magic item is to control the weather, allowing it to maintain a mild and pleasant climate within a five-kilometer radius where it is placed. For ordinary people, this is a super large central air conditioner. With this thing, they will not be afraid of the scorching heat and severe cold. But for the kobolds, it is a winter artifact, allowing them to avoid the fatal impact of winter on them. Especially this winter, he will organize an army of kobolds to follow the United Expeditionary Force in the expedition to Sesk. The Whispering Ball will be indispensable, and he must prepare for a rainy day. "Okay, I've written this down." Bede took out a small notebook and carefully wrote down Gavin's needs. His success was not simply lucky. "Do you have any other needs? Talk about it.” "There is no special demand for the moment. Of course, there is still a big gap in food. The more we can bring in in the future, the better." Gavin also didn't expect that the kobold population in his hands would grow so fast, and the food would start to be a bit stretched. . "There must be no problem with the food. We can transport as much as you can eat." Bede rolled his eyes and said, "It's best to have special products like harpy eggs. If you get more, then Better." "Stop dreaming. These eight are purely an unexpected harvest." Gavin shook his head without hesitation. Although the eggs of the harpy are valuable, he will not hunt them all over the world just for them. . If he meets someone by the way, he won't mind getting a windfall. "Actually, there is a market not only for harpy eggs, but also for kobold eggs." Bede said tentatively. Gavin's face suddenly became serious and he said, "Uncle Bed, I will take what you just said as a joke. Don't mention it again. The harpy is a monster, and the kobolds are my people now. The two are different in nature. Of course, if you have kobold slaves or kobold eggs, bring them to me and I am willing to buy them at the market price."
