"Yes, sir!"
Tyton and Cadia nodded respectfully.
"And here, this ring contains five hundred gold coins, enough to buy raw materials a few times over," Corvinus said, handing the ring that Agif had filled with five thousand gold coins to Tyton.
"Regarding the issue of expanding production, you two should discuss it. If you need more people, buy them. If you need more houses, and if the next few incomes allow, you can also consider buying nearby properties to expand. But no matter what, you must proceed steadily and cautiously."
"Also, if other wine merchants come to collaborate, you can judge based on the production capacity, but the premise is to ensure the interests of the existing collaborators."
"Yes, sir!"
Tyton and Cadia's faces instantly turned as sour as bitter melons. They felt their authority was too great; what if they messed up?
In fact, they both wanted to return to the Silver Mane Tribe with Corvinus instead of staying here.
"I know you both want to go back, but for now, there's no one else here besides you two," Corvinus said, patting their shoulders to comfort them.
"Here's the deal: you stay here. If you really don't want to stay, next time I'll bring others to take your places," Corvinus added.
Originally, he had considered grooming Tyton to be the pillar of the commercial sector, but Tyton had no interest in the business world and preferred the battlefield to slay enemies.
There was nothing Corvinus could do about it!
The Silver Mane Tribe was short of people, short of strong individuals, and even more so, short of talent.
Thinking of these things, Corvinus also felt very troubled and depressed.
"Yes, sir!"
Tyton and Cadia nodded reluctantly, hoping that the chieftain would keep his word.
At that moment, Boar-Man Gava came to Corvinus's side and said respectfully, "Young master, the team is ready."
"Alright, I know," Corvinus nodded, but he didn't move because Agif, the woman, hadn't arrived yet.
She usually came early, but today, halfway through the morning, she still hadn't shown up.
What a woman!
When there's nothing to do, she's as quick as a thief, but when there's something to do, she spends half the day putting on makeup and doesn't come out.
"Beast!!"
"A beast is flying down from the sky!!"
...
Corvinus and his group suddenly heard the noise and saw the werewolves and boar men outside looking up at the sky in surprise.
Corvinus quickly went outside and saw that many passers-by on the street were also looking up.
He looked up and saw a huge monster descending from the sky.
On the monster was a werewolf, none other than Agif, the silly woman.
Soon, the beast landed. This monster was as big as three war wolves, about three meters tall and five meters long, with a lion's head, but its limbs were not lion paws but insect legs, and it had a pair of bat-like wings on its back.
Its tail was similar to a scorpion's stinger, and its limbs, neck, and tail were covered with black chitinous spines, while the rest of its body was covered with golden hair.
What kind of beast was this?
Corvinus was about to use the system to investigate when a figure jumped off the monster and threw itself into his arms.
"Hehe, I'm not late, am I?" Agif laughed and hugged Corvinus, asking.
"Not late? If you hadn't come, I would have left," Corvinus pinched Agif's cheek and said with a smile.
"By the way, what kind of monster is this?" Corvinus looked at the large monster Agif had brought. At first glance, it seemed a bit strange, but upon closer inspection, it looked quite majestic.
The monster suddenly looked at him with eyes as big as baseballs, and Corvinus instantly felt like he was on the grasslands being stared at by a male lion.
"Are you talking about Elran? She's a lion scorpion," Agif replied.
"Don't be afraid, Elran is just a little girl. She's just curious about you," Agif saw Corvinus take a half-step back and couldn't help but laugh.
"Bullshit, if she stings me, I'll be half dead," Corvinus rolled his eyes at Agif.
What was a lion scorpion?
He had already checked with the system.
A lion scorpion was a wind and poison-type magical beast, one of the aerial cavalry magical beasts in the human world.
Its wind attribute was quite ordinary, but its poison attribute was very high. If someone below its rank was stung by it, they would fall into a coma on the spot. If someone was far below its rank, they would be poisoned to death immediately.
This female lion scorpion, although not yet an adult, had the strength of a sixth-tier warrior. If Corvinus was stung, he would be in serious trouble.
"Bad luck, why don't you raise something pretty? This thing is both ugly and poisonous," Corvinus complained.
"Everyone stay away from this lion scorpion. Her poison is very strong," Corvinus glanced at his subordinates and warned.
Instantly, the surrounding boar men and werewolves all took three or four steps back.
"Humph...!! She won't attack people randomly, and besides, Elran is quite beautiful!" Corvinus ignored her. Since Agif had arrived, it was time for the team to set off.
Nighttime!
Corvinus and his group arrived at the Silver Mane Tribe. Thanks to Agif, the aerial scout, they didn't encounter any trouble from bandit gangs along the way.
As soon as they stepped into the tribe, his second uncle Lothar and fifth uncle Reynolds were waiting for him at the entrance.
Since it was already late, facing the thousands of words his two uncles wanted to say, he didn't let them speak. He just said that they would discuss it in the hall tomorrow morning, and then he took Agif home.
...
In the main room of Corvinus's house, the fire was blazing, and the family was sitting around the fire, chatting and laughing.
"Mother, it's so sticky!" The second son, Kevyn, came to the wolf mother's side, complaining about his teeth.
"Go play somewhere else!" The wolf mother pushed Kevyn away, her eyes filled with the image of Agif.
Seeing his second brother get rebuffed by the wolf mother, Corvinus laughed. Although he still had a bit of an awkward barrier with the wolf mother, at this moment, his heart was also warmed by maternal love. The look in the wolf mother's eyes when she looked at Agif was the look of a mother looking at her daughter-in-law.
Corvinus had felt this look in his previous life. This was family, this was maternal love.
"Brother, my teeth are stuck too!" Corvinus's sister Ginny, who was in his arms, opened her mouth wide, showing Corvinus and scratching her teeth.
"You silly girl, didn't I tell you? You shouldn't bite maltose with your teeth," Corvinus pinched his sister's cute little face and said.
With that, he helped the little one get it out.
Agif was also very sociable. As soon as she started chatting with Corvinus's mother, they had all sorts of topics and both sides laughed heartily.
Corvinus couldn't hold on any longer. His sister Ginny and his two younger brothers had all fallen asleep in his arms. He carried the three little ones to bed and then went back to his room to sleep.
...
Morning!
Since he had stayed up late the night before, he woke up very late. After washing up, he found only his second brother Kevyn was at home.
"Mother took Sister Agif and Ginny to Second Mother's house," Kevyn said.
Corvinus, who was eating porridge, was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood.
Second Mother was Agif's elder, and it was proper to pay a visit.
He looked at Kevyn and asked, "How have Second Mother and the others been lately?"
"I haven't been there, I don't know. But after Loy got sick last week, Mother visited her, and since then, Mother and Second Mother's relationship has suddenly improved," Kevyn said.
"A few days ago, Second Mother even brought Loy and the others to our house."
Corvinus was taken aback, "Loy got sick? Is she better now?"
Loy was his second sister from his second mother. She was only six years old this year.
"It's okay now. It seems she ate too poorly and had a weak body. After hearing this, Second Uncle caught two dragon rats from the menagerie and gave them to Second Mother to help Loy regain her strength."
"Oh!"
Corvinus let out a small sigh of relief.
