First Law

Bunker wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the big pit that was already half a person high, and was full of joy. According to this progress, he was guaranteed to complete the task in five days.

He gulped down the bowl of water, which was definitely the most extravagant in the past, but now he feels relieved because the bowl will be full by the evening.

Karen kept his promise, was on time and never delayed.

Looking up at the new thatched house that already looks a bit like it, Bunker plans to open up a separate room for Karen underground after this job is completed.

Although it takes a lot of work, it's definitely worth it.

"Bunker, our boss is really rich."

"That's right, my tongue feels soft now." A kobold raised his arm, "Look at what this is, meat, real meat."

Another kobold patted his belly, and there was a bulging sound, "My belly is almost bursting with water."

He knew the young kobold was bragging about bool (bragging), but he laughed, and now these guys make a few jokes when they are down the well.

They are very tired, but they are in a good mood. They know that tomorrow they will have work to do, water to drink, and maybe another meal of meat.

Bunker has a bigger goal, and he can't help but remind him of the great kobold warriors and wizards. Although it is a bit extravagant, as long as Karen follows the standard, maybe one of these young people will be born.

"Hey, old Bunker, do you want water, I just came from the human race, it's very refreshing."

While Bunker was in a trance, a burst of yelling came from the gate of Gold Shining Town. Looking up, it was Forbes, wrapped under a layer of palm cloth, as thick as a rice dumpling.

His name is Harmore, a Forbes businessman.

"No," Bunker yelled, continuing to shovel.

Harmore couldn't help but wonder, as usual, as soon as he entered the gate of Gold Shining Town, the group of kobolds would rush forward in a swarm, those who should exchange things for things, and those who should pay for money.

The reason is simple, the water he sells is the cheapest in the wasteland, and these kobolds are his regular customers.

But now that he has entered the center of the town, no kobolds have come up. He can see that these kobolds seem to be building houses, which makes him even more confused. Working in the sun is the most water-consuming, and he has always been stingy. How could a kobold do such a stupid thing.

He brought a lot of water this time, and there were still five barrels left from the wasteland. He planned to scrape off the stocks on hand of this group of kobolds, and then take two strong kobolds as slaves.

There are two young men in this tribe who have grown up and can sell for some money.

"Hey, Bunker, water. I just came from the human race. I'm very thirsty. It's still at the old price." Hamoel said with a smile.

"Hammer, didn't I say, don't buy water."

Harmore was taken aback, and looked at the big pit in front of him, which occupied half the area of ​​Gold Shining Town, and almost all the kobold tribes were mobilized. Thirty-two porcelain bowls were neatly placed on the edge of the big pit. It is very poisonous, and it can be seen that the water has just been released, and judging by the expressions of these kobolds, there is no sign of water loss at all.

With a head of Forbes, it is natural to calculate the sum of these waters, which is definitely not something a kobold tribe can afford.

Something must have happened.

He felt that it was not good, someone would steal the business again.

Although Harmore was angry, he still had a smile on his face, and asked with an absent-minded look, "Bunker, what is your tribe doing? Are you planning to build a big grass shed?"

Bunker didn't stop shoveling the soil, and sighed, "No, there is a new owner in Gold Shining Town, who is ambitious to do a big project, so let's do the hard work." That sighing look seemed to be greatly wronged.

Harmore is shrewd. He knows the nature of the kobolds well. It would be difficult for these kobolds to take a step if there is no benefit. It's weird.

Why, how much benefit has it given you, so willing to work hard? "

"Benefits? No."

"No way, it's not good for you to work so hard?" Harmore laughed.

Unexpectedly, old Bunker got angry, and gave a stern look, "Hammer, don't think of us kobolds like you Forbes, he is our mayor, and we will naturally carry out his orders. Go, go, don't get in the way of our work."

It was the first time that Harmore was chased away by kobolds, which made him more curious, and he left at noon, but he entered Gold Shining Town early in the evening.

He was completely stunned by what he saw. The kobolds came out of the barren well, and instead of entering their own hut as usual, three or five of them got together and walked towards the largest new hut, talking and laughing. go.

The thatched hut is very spacious, with thornwood tables in the middle, and large porcelain bowls on the tables.

I saw a creature wrapped in a black robe, holding a wooden bucket, pouring water into the rattling net porcelain bowls. I'm afraid that if there is a little less, each porcelain bowl will always overflow a little bit.

That Qing Lingling's energy is not fresh water or something.

Harmore rubbed his eyes vigorously. He has never seen such a strange thing in the wasteland for so many years. A bowl of water is enough for a small tribe to consume for a whole day.

But now he saw those kobolds gulping down a whole bowl of water, talking and laughing together for a long time before walking slowly towards the huge deep pit.

Things were completely wrong, ordinary water suppliers couldn't support such a large consumption, and he had never heard of new merchants in the wasteland.

Then, there is only one possibility, this group of kobolds have a new water source.

"Hey, Bunker." Harmore took the initiative to greet, more gentle than before.

"Hammer, did I say I don't want water, and I won't need it in the future, we're going to work now." Perhaps because he drank water just now, Bunker's tone was still kind.

"I don't mean to sell water." Bunker took out a piece of green paper and pen from his pocket. It was as green as if it had been stained with venom. There was a big '50' in the middle. A few seductive lusters flashed, "Tell me, where did the water come from?"

Bunker glanced at it, "Karen gave it." As he said that, he was about to take the 50 pence in his hand.

Harmore pulled it back. This was not the answer he was looking for, "I mean where did Karen get the water?"

"I don't know, I bought it." He didn't say anything about the sea water.

"Cheat me, there are things you don't know about Gold Shining Town, are you afraid that I will ruin your business if I know the channel?" Hamoore said with a deep smile.

Bunker understood that this Forbes was playing tricks on him, and he couldn't get the 50 pence at all. Regardless of what kind of place this is, everyone puts it inside, our Shining Gold Town is different from the past, send someone at the door, don't disturb the boss recklessly, we can't afford it."

Hamoel didn't expect that he would be driven out by two kobolds after being beaten to death. He only barked angrily, but stared at the strong dog head at the gate of Gold Shining Town, and didn't have the guts to break in.

This dilapidated town has started to have sentries. This abnormal situation can only mean that Karen has solved the water problem. Now he has to ask the Forbes about it.

In the abandoned mine, the six Forbes stared at each other with inexplicable faces,

They are the masters of business in the southwestern part of the wasteland, and this kind of racial gathering will only be held during special events. Of course, there is another situation where external forces threaten the survival of Forbes in the wasteland.

"Churchill, you were the one who led Karen Hazel to the wasteland." As the initiator of the meeting, Harmore pointed directly at Churchill.

Churchill nodded, "Yes, I want to maintain the group of kobolds. If there is no one to take the lead, the town of Gold Shining will probably be defeated. We all know that only with living creatures will we have Forbes' business."

The others nodded. This is the foundation of their business. They never exhaust their resources and will do everything they can to stabilize customers, so that they can continuously absorb the income from customers. This is called sustainable business.

"Then do you know anything about Karen Hazel?"

Churchill frowned, feeling that Harmoll had eaten a cannonball, and took out a wanted warrant, "I made a deal with him on the arcane staff, and the reward was the town of Gold."

"Just a wanted criminal?" Hamoel glanced at him and sneered, "Is there any other information?"

"No, that's all. We are in business, Harmore, you should know that we don't engage in assassinations." Churchill was a little angry. Although he and Harmore had different ideas, they were all Forbes anyway. Prisoner on trial.

The Forbes alliance is just for them to exchange business information, and there is no such thing as superiors and subordinates.

"Churchill, don't be angry, I want to ask him if he brought a lot of water?" Hamoel seemed to feel that his attitude was too much, and his tone softened.

"No, I know he didn't bring much water. The fresh water I provided last time should be enough for three days." Churchill said calmly.

"Three days?" Harmoll blamed me with a smile, "But I think his water can be used for a whole year in the town of Gold, Churchill, how do you explain it?"

Churchill sneered, he didn't want to get entangled with Harmore, "Hammer, if you convened the race meeting this time just for this shit, then I have to leave, and I'll say it again, the water I gave Karen is only three days, And I made a bet with him that he will come out of the wasteland naked in a month, do I need to repeat it?"

"Really?" Harmore asked.

"I don't have to lie to you."

"Then are there any other freshwater businessmen here?" Harmore looked at the other Forbes and asked again.

"No, only we Forbes are doing it." A Forbes emphasized.

"But I saw it with my own eyes. The fresh water in Gold Shining Town is enough for them to use for a year."

"Nonsense," cried Churchill, who did not believe that Karen could get water.

"I didn't lie to you. I just came back from Gold Glitter Town. All the kobolds are drinking water from big bowls. If this is false, I can only say that my eyes are wrong. If you don't believe me, you can go to Gold Glitter Town to have a look. They even set up a sentinel at the gate, and I presume they have a new source of water."

The word "Shuiyuan" made Churchill feel that something was wrong, so he asked carefully before asking, "Are you not lying?"

"Liar is Doug (another name for a dog)."
