The dark night shrouds the earth, the moon tonight is big and round, yellow, orange and orange hanging in the sky, and the stars are twinkling in the sky, making the whole night sky appear mysterious and beautiful, and it is not difficult for those who will observe the night sky to see that tomorrow will be a sunny and good day.

In an open area near the sea, simple tents are densely packed together, forming a circle, countless warriors in the middle of the open space, lighting piles of bonfires, sitting on the ground, chatting and drinking loudly, and even some soldiers are trying to see whose strength is greater, and countless cheering people next to them, which makes the whole camp in the noise of human voices, making a "buzzing" roar.

In the largest tent there were also five men, sitting on animal skins, cutting and roasting meat with sharp daggers, eating and drinking with oat wine, chatting and chatting, and laughing from time to time.

Scholes is now completely relaxed, with the stimulation of alcohol and the humorous and peaceful language of Evan opposite, Scholes feels comfortable everywhere in his body, this feeling of relaxation and comfort has not been for a long time, after taking over his small tribe of less than 5,000 people, the pressure of reality has pressed this hearty man breathlessly, for the development of the tribe, for the food and clothing of the people, in order to survive in all kinds of tribes, Scholes is really bothered and laborious, and a heavy burden is all on his little lord, This also made him cautious and walked on thin ice to get to where he is today.

It was Scholes's careful management that allowed his small clan to survive in the chaos of the Navian Peninsula, even if it barely survived. It is not easy to develop, more than ten years of hard work, more than ten years of caution. After more than ten years of groveling life, although the tribe will not perish, it is difficult for this hearty man to know how difficult it is to be strong with his own efforts.

There is also a more important point, which is the prying eyes of other tribes. This was what he feared the most, although, with the king's orders. The tribes are not allowed to attack each other at will, but what if someone else finds an excuse to kill him and take the tribe? It is not impossible for such a thing to happen, in this place where only strength is not reasonable. In the face of power, all truths seem so fragile and powerless.

That's what he dares to bet on. The secret of letting go, he won again in this gamble today, he gambled with his life and the fate of the whole clan to win this big victory, which gave him the opportunity to sit and talk with the powerful Lord Evan on an equal footing, such an opportunity is so precious for the little leader living at the bottom.

And Scholes felt respect, in this savage and barren place, which made him, a lowly little lord, feel respect. It was such a luxury, but he read between the lines of Evan's words now. You can feel the respect and equality of the other party for you.

At this time, Evan was humble and approachable, without a little bit of the arrogance and rudeness that Scholes had seen in other big lords in the past, which made him satisfied with the results of his gambling this time, together with his uncle Amini beside him, the slightly vicissitudes of life at this moment The old face bloomed with a different smile from the past, Scholes knew the meaning behind Amini's smile, that is, after being respected by others, after being recognized by others, the smile in his heart was different from the smile he used to pretend.

"Lord Scholes, thank you for your help this time, I know that you led the clan to help me this time, took a great risk, and because of this battle, there were casualties on your side, although this incident was not provoked by us, but it was still because of us, you not only informed us of such important news in advance, but also sent troops to help, in this regard, I am very grateful.

Thank you, I won't say it here, since you are so arrogant, Lord, and I'm not a stingy person, I have prepared five hundred cattle and sheep, eight hundred poultry, and two carts of treasure and weapons for you, which can be regarded as a thank you and compensation, and the things are outside, and you can take them away at any time. ”

Everyone sat around the campfire eating and chatting, and suddenly, Evan put away his smile and looked at Scholes with a serious face, and said the thanks and rewards that he had prepared for the other party.

"Huh?"

Hearing Evan's words, Scholes's eyes, which were still drunk and hazy just now, were suddenly stunned, he couldn't believe what he had heard? Muffled syllables came out of his mouth.

He just looked at Evan dumbfounded, with a look of shock on his face, not only him, but also Amini beside him, oh my God! What did he hear? Five hundred sheep and cattle, eight hundred poultry, and two cartloads of gold, silver, and weapons? What a fortune this is, for a small tribe like theirs, these things are on top of the property of all their clans, this Evan's handiwork is so big!

"What? Too little? If it's too little, I can give you more. ”

Seeing the other party's shocked look, Evan's smiling and joking voice came out, while Olaf and Sanchez beside him let out a hearty "haluha" big laugh, and they were both amused by the expressions on Scholes and Amini's faces.

"No—no—not too little—not too little—not too little!"

Scholes, who was awakened by Evan's words and Olaf's laughter, hurriedly waved his hands and said in a very embarrassed tone.

They were really shocked by Evan's generosity, and they had wondered countless times when they came that Evan would give them a reward? Or how much reward will they give, like those lords who thought they were powerful in the past, and be polite to them arrogantly, and send them away, or give them a little pitiful alms? No matter how many results the two of them thought about, they didn't expect that the reward that Evan gave them was so huge, which made it difficult for them to accept it for a while, and they felt that their brains were not enough, and they couldn't turn around.

"It's not — it's not — I mean it's too much, and we don't do much? Such a reward is too high and too large! ”

Half an hour! Scholes who came back to his senses. Hurriedly stood up, bent down to salute the sitting Evan, and eagerly expressed his meaning. He didn't want to make the other person think he was a greedy person, and then all his efforts would be in vain.

"Don't worry, sit down and say, sit down and say, you stand like this, we are so tired of talking to you."

Seeing the other party's eagerness. Evan said to Scholes with a smile.

"You can take these things, if you don't think it's enough, I can add more, although the reward for your help this time seems like a lot. But compared to my warriors, that's not much at all, and you don't have any psychological burden? I told you to accept it, and if the tribe encounters any difficulties in the future, you can still come to me? We're friends now. ”

Scholes had just taken his seat at Evan's word. Without waiting for Scholes to speak. Evan spoke directly to Scholes in a sincere tone.

Hearing Evan's words and seeing the sincerity on the other party's face, Scholes didn't know whether he should accept these rewards, it stands to reason that he did contribute this time and deserved to be rewarded, although the other party gave too many things. But that is what the other party is willing to give, and it is not what he is forced to give. He could accept it with all his heart.

But if he accepts these things, then his kindness to Evan for this time will be written off, even if there is something to ask Evan in the future, he can refrain or not work, in this case, no one will blame Evan, because he has paid enough money, and there is nothing to do with the two sides.

However, Evan's hand is too big, and there are too many goods in front of him, if he takes these back, the development of their tribe will definitely reach a new level, he can accept more people, select more warriors, and he can also let him rest and rest for the body that has worked hard for the tribe for so long.

This situation made Scholes hesitate, he subconsciously turned his head to look at his uncle Amini, hoping to find the answer from him, but he was disappointed, Amini was not better off than him at the moment, only to see Amini's eyes blank, a look of shock, a blank face, obviously not come back to his senses.

Seeing that his uncle was not as good as himself, Scholes gave up the intention of finding the answer from him, and could only helplessly find the answer by himself, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and breathed hard, hoping to calm his mood at this time, after a few breaths, his eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes became firm at this moment.

"Count Evan, please take back these rewards, I can't accept them!"

Scholes, who opened his eyes, immediately spoke to Evan, who was eating and drinking casually in front of him, and was not in a hurry to urge.

"Huh? Is it really too little? ”

Evan heard the other party's refusal, his face immediately gloomy, at this moment, this Scholes did not know how to advance and retreat, which made Evan very surprised in his heart, after his observation, this Scholes is not an insatiable person? What he did at this moment made him suspicious.

"Nope! Isn't it too little? It's too much, it's too much! ”

Seeing the other party's gloomy face, and seeing a trace of worry in the eyes of Sanchez, who was more familiar with him, Scholes hurriedly explained, for fear that the other party would misunderstand.

"Oh! Haluha—not much, not much at all, Lord Scholes, you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

Hearing the other party's words, Evan let out a long breath, it seems that his vision is right, this Scholes is indeed not a greedy person, the doubts in Evan's heart dissolved, and he couldn't help laughing and persuaded him.

In fact, Evan was really relieved at this time, if he made a mistake this time, this Scholes is an insatiable person who doesn't know how to move forward, and Evan can't say when he will clean up this guy.

As for the first lord to throw an olive branch to him, Evan did not want to go to this point from the bottom of his heart, and make other lords who also had the same idea of defecting to him feel afraid and chilled, which would be more than worth the loss. (To be continued......)
