The image of Vic eating perfectly illustrates what it means to gorge.
Even the chicken bones made a crackling sound as he chewed them. He tilted his neck and swallowed them directly. He choked and rolled his eyes, but he didn't care.
The half of the chicken in Gavin's hand was only half eaten, and Vic ate all the food in his arms. His red eyes turned over the half of the chicken in his hand, and finally stopped when Gavin threw it away. He jumped at the chicken bones in the distance without hesitation and was about to put them into his mouth.
"Wait a minute." Gavin's voice stopped, but he was far less fast than Vic could eat. After a few clicks, he swallowed the chicken bones into his stomach.
At this time, Vic turned to look at Gavin.
Gavin could clearly see a hint of pride on Vic's ugly face, as if he was saying, you're late, I've already eaten, this is mine.
Gavin sighed and said, "There is enough food here. If you are not full, you can just complain."
As he spoke, Gavin tore off a rabbit leg, which was just a little bigger than the half chicken before. This time he didn't hand it to Vic directly, but looked at him.
Vic looked at the rabbit leg, then at Gavin, and then at the rabbit leg. He was a little confused at first, as if he was remembering something, and tentatively whispered: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Gavin preached with practical actions this time and handed over the rabbit leg.
After taking the rabbit leg, he didn't know there was something in his stomach. He wasn't that hungry, but he still couldn't believe that food was so easy to get. Vic looked at the food in his hand, looked up at Gavin, and then looked at the food in his hand. Then he tentatively said: "Thank you."
Gavin said angrily: "Don't be too smart. I haven't eaten enough yet. I can't give it all to you. I'll wait until you finish eating."
Seeing that he didn't get more food, Vic immediately started eating in his own way. He quickly stuffed the big rabbit leg into his stomach. He didn't know whether it was because he was full or because the rabbit leg bones were too thick and difficult to chew. , this time we didn’t nibble together.
After licking the last trace of meat on the rabbit leg clean, Vic looked at Gavin with the eyes of a puppy begging for food and said, "Thank you."
Gavin didn't say anything this time, he just twisted off the meatless rabbit's head and threw it over.
No matter how much Vic's appetite is, it is still limited by his body size. He probably weighs less than two rabbits. With so much food stuffed in, he would have become rounded and lost the energy he had at the beginning. Chew it slowly and stuff it into your stomach bit by bit.
He is begging for food now, simply because he was hungry because he had never had a meal in the past, and was greedy.
Sure enough, even if it was a rabbit head without any rabbit meat, it took Vic a while before he took a bite. By the time he finished eating the rabbit head, Gavin was basically full. There was nearly half of the hare left, roasted potatoes and There were also half of the sweet potatoes, which was barely enough for lunch, but luckily he had prepared a lot, otherwise he would have had to start the fire again at noon.
After packing all the food, Gavin handed it to Vic and said, "You will keep the food."
Gavin believes that as long as Vic understands that there will be enough food in the future and he will not be hungry, his bad eating habits will be slowly changed.
Vic held the food in his hand, seemingly in disbelief.
"Don't be stunned, we still have a long way to go, hurry up and get on the road." Gavin urged, he was afraid of wasting too much time and having another chance encounter with the soldiers and civilians of Fort Nott would be embarrassing. .
The path that Gavin is taking now is also the path that Zalanda and the others must take.
There is only one main road to Darauma, and Darauma is the largest city within hundreds of kilometers.
Gavin wanted to go to the Northland. Only here could he find enough and large enough caravans.
Traveling alone, even if he entered the ranks of legendary warriors in his previous life, Gavin has always avoided it, because in the wilderness, no one knows what he will encounter at the next moment. If he encounters those who freely enter and exit the ether, or the shadow or star realm, The monsters and legendary warriors also suffered.
Following the armed caravans on the main road is the best choice for most travelers in Faerûn.
Before arriving at Darauma, Gavin would always keep a distance of twenty to thirty kilometers from the soldiers and civilians of Fort Nott and advance in parallel.
If he really encounters a fatal danger that cannot be solved, Gavin will immediately retreat without saying a word and seek refuge with Zalanda. Even if he dies, he will die in front of Zalanda or let her know the news. , because in this world, the only one who could possibly pay a huge price to resurrect him is Zalanda.
Fortunately, so far, there have been only minor troubles, especially today. Even minor troubles have not been seen very much. Whether it is a group of goblins or roadblocks, we have not encountered any of them after walking for a long time. On the contrary, we have encountered several carriages. Those walking in the direction of Darauma looked less like businessmen and more like soldiers and civilians of Fort Nott, fleeing for safety.
These carriages looked at Gavin with vigilance, and they involuntarily clenched their weapons.
This is a normal reaction when encountering strangers in the wilds of Faerun, because no one knows whether the stranger on the other side is good or evil, a passerby or a gangster.
Gavin made the situation worse by having a goblin with him.
This distrust is two-way, Gavin doesn't know their origins, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
The best option is to get away as soon as possible.
This situation also illustrates one thing. They have entered the sphere of influence of Dalauma City, and Dalauma's patrol guards often come here to inspect.
After confirming this, Gavin no longer stopped and walked like yesterday, but speeded up.
He arrived one day earlier than Zalanda and the others, which gave him a little more time to find a suitable caravan. Things may not be such a coincidence.
Before Zalanda reaches Darauma, if there is no suitable caravan, Gavin will have to take the risk and take Vic on the road alone to try his luck in the next city.
At noon, Gavin and Vic encountered the first cavalry patrol from Dalauma.
This patrol cavalry obviously had a mission. They just glanced at Gavin and Vic and then galloped away.
Gavin more or less guessed what the patrol cavalry was doing.
Not far behind him, there was also a huge team - a team that was getting bigger and bigger.
It was not just the Nottburg family that was harmed by the goblins traveling in the mountains. Although the damage to the eastern region was relatively light due to the Mill Forest, the ones that came over made people panic.
Many people have the desire to flee to big cities like Darauma, but they are still hesitant.
Partly, he didn’t have Zalanda’s determination to abandon his family and career.
Some of them are not strong enough and dare not go on the road alone.
When Zalanda led a large army to pass by, he directly helped those who were hesitant to make up their minds, especially those who thought they did not have the strength of Fort Nott. Most of them would join the retreat, even if the local lords refused to leave, and some of the territorial citizens They will also follow. At least Kami Village, which was previously rescued by Zalanda, has all joined the evacuation procession.
The team led by Zalanda now numbered not five thousand, but three thousand, with people and vehicles, and the momentum was even greater. The team dragged them for a full kilometer.
Not to mention Zalanda, if they didn't communicate well with Dalauma City in advance, even if they communicated well, the ruler of Dalauma would feel guilty when such a huge team came over.
This is also the chain effect caused by Gavin, a little butterfly, flapping its wings.
