"I can give you all the living jackal prisoners, but I can't give you these hobgoblins and goblins."
When the war was completely over, the sky had darkened. The fight took Allen and the others a short time, but the loss was not too great. At this time, Allen and Fili discussed with each other and began to distribute the items they had plundered from the Jackal camp, as well as more than thirty captured people.
There are three larger branches of the goblin family: goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears.
The way to distinguish them is very simple. The green-skinned dwarfs who are less than three feet tall are of the goblin lineage; the green-skinned people who are between three and four and a half feet tall are hobgoblins; and the height is the same as that of humans, and those who are over 5 feet tall are of the goblin lineage. Looking up, the green skin with fine downy hair on the body is undoubtedly a bugbear.
Although the branches are different, there is a reason why they can be classified into the same lineage, that is, these three types of branches can intermarry with each other to produce offspring, and their offspring have no problem of reproductive isolation and can still give birth to qualified offspring. This is They are born from the same origin.
After defeating the Jackals, Allen needed to consider a question, which was how to improve his strength so that he could completely gain a foothold in Green Lake and occupy the relatively fertile territory of the Jackals.
It is definitely not possible to just rely on the natural growth of their Green Field Tribe, so the fastest way is to absorb other people of the same tribe to increase their strength, so as to avoid various hidden dangers as much as possible. As the lowest intelligent creatures in the wilderness, goblins have always lived in the worst living environment. They basically exist as vassals or slaves of other wilderness natives, and are even raised as meat pigs by gnolls and the like.
The reason is naturally that the goblins are relatively weak in strength, and it is extremely difficult for them to be strong above the legendary level. Moreover, no gods are born in their family. This makes goblins become other intelligent creatures in a world where gods exist and develop followers. The perfect target for bullying.
But it is precisely because of this that Allen wants to develop and expand the Green Wild Tribe. Directly absorbing the goblins who are slaves and pigs in the Bone Fire Tribe is more reassuring than recruiting the unruly jackals. Born with the same root. The goblins and hobgoblins are more receptive to the rule of bugbears.
"It's natural."
Feili agreed immediately without any hesitation.
In addition to bugbears, the goblin branch has some slave value, and the other two branches are even the most greedy slave owners who are too lazy to arrest them. As a part-time slave owner, Fili is naturally even less likely to engage in loss-making business. As for the 7 surviving jackal cubs, if they can be transported back to the human world by Feili, then the cost of hiring the Eagle Mercenary Group will almost be earned back. With this unexpected fortune, Fei will be able to He was very satisfied, not to mention there were a lot of various handicrafts, gold and silver jewelry waiting for him and Allen to distribute. Agreeing to the other party's small conditions at this time also meant that he would have greater opportunities in the distribution of property later. say.
"But when it comes to the distribution of these goods later, I think Chief Allen will also give us some compensation."
"Don't worry, I'll keep it in mind."
Allen nodded.
The arrival of night could not stop Fili and Allen's activities of dividing the spoils. Under the light of the oil lamp contributed by Fili, Allen, as a supervisor, watched Fili sort out the various items accumulated by the jackals one by one. It took 2 days. It took more than Aisha to completely sort out this batch of property.
"This pile of gold coins comes from mixed sources, including coins from elves, dwarves, orcs, and even humans from more than a dozen countries. I have divided them according to the purity of the gold. Among them, there are 173 coins with a gold content of more than 90%; the rest are based on gold content. Between 80% and 90%, there are 65 coins in total; in addition, I also count the number of silver coins according to the silver content..."
"This pile is a bunch of handicrafts of ordinary value. The elf system is more popular in human society because of its exquisite workmanship. The dwarf system is majestic and magnificent and uses sufficient materials, so it is loved by the orcs. The human handicrafts tend to be ordinary and are still popular in all major kingdoms. There is a market, but the price won’t be too high…”
"There are also these blankets and fabrics. They are severely damp and have begun to fade. They are basically not of much value..."
Feili had a sense of propriety. Except for gold, silver and precious metals that were difficult to fake, other handicrafts were turned into things of little value due to his deliberate devaluation. Even Allen knew nothing about it.
Allen seemed not to care about the loot, but in fact he was hiding in the dark and using the goblin's dark vision to quietly observe the various expressions on Fili's face, trying to find out what was wrong with him. Allen thought it was certain that the other party would use some tricks on the spoils. He would definitely do the same thing if it were him, but he still couldn't understand the value positioning of the human business system. Even if he knew that the other party was using tricks, he would actually do it. I don't really care, it's just that the selfish nature of the wilderness people is deep in their bones, and Allen never wants the other party to make too much from him.
"It's up to you how to price it. Anyway, these things will rot and become moldy if left here. It's better to leave them to you to buy them in exchange for other useful items."
With an out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, Allen began to distribute the spoils: "So these crafts, blankets, etc. are all for you, as well as the animal skins collected by the jackals. Our tribe itself also has stocks of these. Take it all together."
"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed about this? At least you have a share. It wouldn't be a good idea for us to accept them all."
Fili pretended to be embarrassed, but in fact he was happy. Although the total value of these objects was somewhat reduced due to poor preservation, if they were really transported out of the wilderness and bought in the civilized world, at least the value should not be lower than the current collected gold. Silver and jewelry too.
"Of course, I didn't give it to you for free. We don't need these things, but I do like these shiny things. I won't share the remaining gold, silver and jewelry with you. I will accept them all. .”
Afterwards, Allen's words suddenly made Fili dumbfounded. Looking at the other person's eyes, a flash of light flashed across his eyes. Fili always felt that the bugbear in front of him was not the real bugbear, but just the skin of a little fox.
"This this……"
Feili wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it in the other party's territory. After all, although the other party agreed to give him the right to distribute the spoils, he did not say the specific share. If you really think about it, what you have been allocated now has exceeded your previous expectations. As a qualified businessman, Fili still understands the principle of enough is enough, especially when his opponent is a shrewd man-eating green. Skin.
"……All right."
Fili didn't expect that his opponent's tricks were good, and he underestimated the opponent and suffered a small loss. He felt a little disappointed and weakly agreed to Allen's proposal.
