Warlord: King of All Clans

Olivia felt distressed when she saw Nain's humble and fawning look.

A son is still a son. He cannot be a bootlicker. He must stand up and be a bit manly!

Olivia suppressed her weakness and shouted coldly, "Nain, stand up straight! Where did all this gold and silver come from?"

Nain stood straight, watching Olivia take out a pile of gold and silver bars from his collection. He felt guilty and lowered his head and said, "The dogs picked them up."

"The scouts of Rambowan found some golden glitter in the mountains north of Stonecrush Castle and wanted to exchange them with me for candy."

"One golden glitter for two candies, one silver glitter for one candy!"

When Nain explained, he looked aggrieved, feeling that he had been wronged.

The shiny things that the gnolls like are actually basically useless to them. They cannot be eaten, worn, or made into weapons. They can only be strung together as decorations and tools for courtship.

But sugar is very precious. The small workshop of the kobolds still cannot produce the various candies that are produced on the assembly line of the Hekou processing plant.

Although the Gnoll Scout Team reorganized by the Gnoll Chief Rambowan had a formal organization and could eat in the public canteens of the four towns in the River Bay, they did not have a formal salary.

In other words, there is no monthly salary. These dogs run around in the mountains all day and are not home for a whole month. We have to find someone to pay them, so we probably can only pay them an annual salary.

The natives of these Gnoll Valleys have even less concept of currency than Nain. Even if they have money, they are unwilling to break into human markets to buy goods.

After such a long period of adjustment, the people of Hewan have learned to coexist peacefully with the alien races, but the strange looks still exist.

In the Stonecrush area, Nairn is almost their only channel to exchange candy.

After all, in the eyes of the ogres, Nain is now a big shot.

The godson of the mistress of River Bay! A dog with a salary!

But Olivia was a little worried and continued to interrogate: "How can such a large piece of gold be picked up in the mountains?"

"Not this big, just small ones. I saved them for a year." Nairn explained carefully, "I wanted to save three golden eggs, but it was not enough. I only saved one and gave it to Knight Wood."

"I plan to save up two more, one for my mom and one for you!"

Knight Wood had been watching from below for a while. Upon hearing this, he quickly took out the golden egg that Nain had given him.

"This is a small gift from Nairn. I think this information is very important, so I came here."

Leo took the golden egg, weighed it in his hand, and found it was heavier than ordinary weights.

This golden egg obviously took Nairn a lot of effort. It looks quite like an egg and the surface is polished.

He is now the lord of a city, but when he sees such a huge pile of gold, he still feels a little dazzled. This shows the temptation of gold to people.

But Hewan doesn’t lack this little gold now. After playing with it for a while, Leo threw it back to Wood and said, “This is a gift from little Nairn, so you should take it. As long as he didn’t get it through corruption or bribery, I have no right to interfere.”

Wood held the golden egg and said with a smile, "If Nain knew how much candy this egg could be exchanged for, would he turn against me?"

Nairn barked, "Knight Wood, my good friend! I wouldn't trade him for any amount of golden eggs!"

The misunderstanding was resolved, and Olivia finally felt relieved. She stroked Nairn's head and said happily, "That's great. Little Nairn has learned how to make friends. I'll keep half of this month's salary for you. It's time to start socializing."

"Well, starting this year, your salary will also increase." Olivia hesitated and looked at Leo.

Leo waved his hand and said, "Give him a raise of 3,000. If we add up to one gold coin, his monthly salary will be over 10,000!"

“Woof woof woof!”

Nain, who earns over ten thousand yuan a month, wagged his tail as if he saw countless sticky candies waving at him.

As for socializing, that doesn’t exist!

The snacks for Wood alone were enough for him.

Everyone was happy with the news of the gold mine.

When Frasa made the gunpowder barrel, gold ore appeared in her treasure chest, and Leo had been thinking about it for a long time.

However, the origin of this gold ore is unknown and the location of the gold mine cannot be traced to this day.

It was not until Nain returned home and explained something to Leo that he learned that the kobold scouts had discovered the approximate location of the gold mine a year ago.

But they had no concept of gold mines. They just saw shiny golden crystals in the nearby river valley, so they collected them and took them back to play with.

The ogres don't care about the scattered gold sand or mottled gold ore, they only pick up the dog-head gold!

At least bigger than soybeans!

Because there were too few gnolls who picked up the nugget gold, only about ten of them, they did not attract the attention of humans.

In addition, facing the threat of the Western Cavalry, Leo asked Rambowan to lead the Gnoll scout team to the western wilderness to cooperate with the werewolves to monitor the movements of the Western Cavalry and prevent the enemy from attacking again.

There were only a few kobold scout teams left in the Gravel Fort area, following the wild folk hunters to monitor the movements of the alien races outside Gravel Fort.

In addition to their combat effectiveness, these kobold scout teams have even stronger survival abilities in the wild than the wild hunters. Some dogs roam in the wild all year round, not returning home for a year or two, and even have a tendency to gradually degenerate into wild dogs.

Those scout teams rooted in the deep mountains had overwhelming military force against the small tribes of kobolds hiding in the mountains. They immediately became leaders and formed their own kobold tribes.

But Leo also had a way to keep them. He just asked Nairn to regularly distribute some cloth, ironware, candy and other supplies to gather these ogre "savages".

After all, the supplies that Hewan distributed to them for free were good things that could not be found in the wilderness.

Taking out the River Bend map, Leo asked Nairn, "Tell me, where did they pick it up?"

Nairn was a little confused and pointed to the mountainous area north of Stonebreak Castle and said, "Woof! This is the area, but Nairn has never been there either."

After the atrium's insight vision and Pegasus' reconnaissance, the map of the river bend has become very accurate, and the distribution of mountains and rivers is clearly marked. It is no longer the previous conceptual map.

Leo drew a circle at the place where Nairn's finger pointed, and felt a little relieved. This place was located on the southern foot of the ridge on the south side of the Central Courtyard Grand Canyon. It was deep in the mountains and less than five kilometers away from the Gravel Castle.

Because of the isolation of the dangerous mountains, it was difficult for large groups of aliens to migrate across the Gravel Fort. Only small alien tribes with no more than a hundred people occasionally crossed the mountains and entered.

No matter how difficult it is to develop, at least this mine is located in a safe location within its own territory.

What's more, he now has enough Kobold Demolitionists and Kobold Miners, and even Kobold Super Shamans, so the difficulty of mining will be reduced by one level.

Wood and Leo looked at the map and thought, "There is gold and silver. It is a silver-gold mine, and it is quite high-quality. I just don't know what the terrain is like. As long as it is not between cliffs or deep in underground caves, it will be fine."

"Unfortunately, the mountain is now blocked by heavy snow. Even the kobolds and wild folk can't get in, let alone human craftsmen. We can only wait until spring."

As he was speaking, the door of the lord's house burst open, snow and wind rushed in, and the huge figure of the ogre Krog came in.

He pulled out a large meatball from behind him and threw it on the floor with a "bang", then shouted to Olivia, "Mistress of Riverbend! Human woman! Your new son!"

When they looked closely, they saw that it was a baby ogre!
