Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Stingy, naive farmers almost get tricked to death by a mischievous Bronze Dragon. Thankfully they bumped into each other or else, by the time they finished the thousand-kilometer desert journey, they would have ended up as skeletons.

“I said, you guys are too bold, aren’t you? Daring to traverse a desert with no one for thousands of miles? I remember it seems you don’t have a storage bag. Where’s your supplies? Don’t tell me these are the ones you were carrying?” the Bronze Dragon apprehensively asked.

The Southern Hedgehog Team, sitting anxiously on the sled, nodded in unison.

“Pff, then how do you get food? What about drinking water?” Negris asked.

The Southern Hedgehog team responded by gesturing the druid gestures, as druids can condense moisture from the air, however given their meager magic power, the amount of water they would produce would likely not even be enough to brush their teeth.

“So, do you know how long it will take for you to cross this desert with your current speed?”

They collectively shook their heads.

When they heard that it would take two months to get out of the desert and half a year to reach the South, the Southern Porcupine People were dumbfounded. The money saved on transportation wouldn’t be enough to cover their food for half a year.

Negris said irritably: “Forget it, we’re acquainted now, so consider using the teleportation array when we arrive in the oasis. You can teleport to Drake Island and take a ship back home.”

It’s not about being acquainted, he simply realizes he deceived the wrong people and fears these honest people would die on the way.

The village head seemed worried, asking cautiously: “How much will that cost?”

Negris forced a smile: “It won’t cost anything, the teleportation array is owned by my house, it’s free.”

Free my ass, the teleportation array charges in both directions. It’s free from the Oasis, but there is a fee at Drake’s end, yet what can he do? He cheated them.

“Oh, oh, oh, that’s great.”

“Wow, Bronze Dragon Lord, your house operates the teleportation array? That’s really rich.”

“Yeah, yeah, even your horse is so sturdy. It is too wealthy, our swamp-ass horses are like donkeys.”

Indeed, the ‘horse’ was excessively robust, carrying Ange and the four others, pulling the cart, and carrying the six Southern Hedgehog Team members with ease. The problem is, it was not a ‘horse’ but a god.

But no one would believe it if he told them, that he is riding ‘a god’ while pulling a cart…

With the speed of the Insect God, they soon reached the oasis which usually would have taken them more than a month to reach on foot.

Today’s Hope Oasis, has already become a bustling desert city. With the roads opened, all commercial activities are being conducted through Hope Oasis. Numerous warehouses and shops have been built here, with many outsiders settling in.

With the influx of outsiders, the teleportation array inevitably had to be opened to the public. Compared to carriages, the wealthy people preferred the teleportation array.

There were already several people queuing up around the teleportation array at this moment. Seeing Ange and his group coming over, they greeted them enthusiastically, regardless of whether they knew them or not. Anyone who had money to afford the teleportation array definitely wouldn’t be a dirt-poor farmer.

So when the Southern Hedgehog Team’s farmers approached, a few of the people in line were displeased. Just as they were about to say something, they saw Dragon Speaker Shafya running over.

“Lord Nage, why are you here?” Shafya greeted warmly.

“I’m sending a few friends home,” Negris replied.

“Oh, then please come over here. You guys can go first,” Shafya hurriedly said.

The Southern Porcupine People, a bunch of honest farmers, were a little embarrassed after hearing about skipping the queue: “Maybe we shouldn’t, we arrived late. How about… we wait in line for a while?” Ｒá𐌽ổβÊȘ

“No need, the teleportation array was built by Lord Nage’s wife and was initially intended for their personal use. But seeing many people needing it, she opened it to the public. No one would object to that, right? Right, no one has any objections, do they?” Shafya glanced around at the people in the queue.

“Not at all, you go ahead, we’re not in a hurry.” The crowd hurriedly shook their heads.

They might not know Negris, but how could they be unaware of Dragon Speaker Shafya? Even the people who were being attended to warmly by the Dragon Speaker were Embryo Dragons. Could they be the children of the Dragon Speaker’s Dragon Guardian?

Negris was not modest, he told Shafya: “Set it to Drake Island, it’s not far from the Southern Swamp, they can easily get there by boat.”

“Alright,” Shafya responded. She started adjusting the array personally.

At this time, the village head of the Southern Porcupine People cautiously proposed: “Lord Nage, we would still have to take a boat if we go to Drake Island, how about we directly teleport to South Swamp Town of the swamp?”

“Pfft, you guys have a teleportation array near your house?” Negris almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

The village head nodded.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier!”

“Um, you didn’t ask…” The village head weakly answered.

“I saw you were so poor, and I thought that your place was very remote,” Negris said speechlessly.

Looking at these guys wanting to save even the transportation cost, Negris had assumed their home was very remote. Who would have thought they had a teleportation array?

The village head made an embarrassed laugh: “It’s not in our house, it’s South Swamp Town, about a hundred kilometers away, on the edge of the swamp. Once we get there, we can walk home.”

Negris sighed inwardly, a hundred kilometers through a swamp, and these farmers, who knew only some water condensing spell, would have to walk that distance home.

But what could he do? He stuffed the money into their hands, and they preferred to save it. To them, walking a few hundred kilometers may not even yield a few demon crystals, so wasn’t it better to save the money, work hard, and then buy things for their families?

Negris didn’t bother to say anything because it would be useless. He thought to himself, let’s just help them one last time.
