Twenty long knives glittered in the cold light, all unfolded on the unfolded wool blanket.

These metal weapons were the main items for sale in the second half of Wu Xin's journey, and although salt was more valuable here, weapons were still the most profitable commodity.

And it's extremely oppressive, you don't buy it, and your neighbors do, then it's likely that they'll be able to recoup their investment from you.

It was these weapons that made the leader of the pernihilated tribe desperate to give it a go.

The weapons were all well maintained, and along the way, the knights of Devlich protected them with camel oil every day.

"What do you want to exchange for these iron knives?" The old mistress was still quite calm, but the expressions of her other subordinates in the tent had convinced Wu Xin of their desire for these weapons.

Although she had learned a great deal from her mother and grandmother, and could even tell by the higher-than-usual salt content in her clothes that they had come from a seaside she had not seen with her own eyes, her knowledge of metals was more than she could handle.

"This is a steel sword, made in the most powerful empire of our time." Wu Xin did not continue to explain the carbon content and the interest in the smelting process, he directly showed how strong this weapon really is.

Wu Xin asked Devreich to take out an iron knife he had taken from the previous tribe, and then asked her to demonstrate it.

The two knives intersected, and the tribal leader, who regarded it as a weapon of life, was instantly cut in two.

The Drow elves who were watching gasped in their mouths, in their opinion, the iron knife was already a rare treasure, but in front of Wu Xin's "steel knife", it was so vulnerable.

"No wonder such an honest person as Muli Ma can't restrain himself, whoever sees these weapons will also be greedy." As soon as Wu Xin entered the tribe, he sold those female slaves, so the old mistress already knew about the extermination of her old neighbors.

"Is it really an iron knife with fungus?" Another drow picked up the broken knife that had fallen to the ground and recognized its name.

"What do you want in exchange? The lizardskin books of our tribe are the best textual items in the entire desert. The old housewife's words gave Wu Xin's question a little explanation, no wonder there would be superfluous decorations in this tribe, this peculiar product is obviously very rare in the desert, rare must be precious, so it can get more profits.

"There are all kinds of plants by the sea that can be used to make paper." Wu Xin shook his head, in fact, even if this kind of thing goes to the Mediterranean trade circle, it must be a commodity full of exotic customs, not to mention that rare ancient books must be found in this tribe, which is a very precious commodity, but Wu Xin has a more urgent need, and he tightly forced the mistress to let her increase the price. "Twenty steel knives, you can eat that desert well to the north."

Wu Xin's words made the atmosphere in the tent warm up all of a sudden, and the two sons of the old housemother showed excited looks, the living space contained in the desert point that was "cleaned up" by Wu Xin was enough for them not to have to fight.

The younger brother can go away and start his own tribe.

My brother can sleep peacefully and enjoy his life.

"Not only that, but I can also provide you with a batch of supplies, including tents, food storage, and some cloth." Wu Xin's words made the brothers, especially the younger brother, even more excited. "It's buried not far from the desert well, and we don't have time to bury it very deep, bring a dozen people, and we can dig it out in a while."

The source of this batch of materials is, of course, the exterminated tribe, and Wu Xin, who has insufficient transportation capacity, cannot take those materials away.

With these supplies and a dozen or so slave girls, a new tribe could soon be born.

The eldest son was very happy and asked, "What do you want?" The casting material is still Luo, and we also have the guide who is most familiar with the desert roads. My sister's husband, who had traveled with caravans to Timbuktu and Gao in his early years, and who was well acquainted with several orc khans there, could take you across the Burning Sea to Lake Chad. ”

"Okay, I'll just want the best guide." Wu Xin really didn't want to change the camel and spell casting materials.

"When will your brother-in-law arrive?"

"Soon, just wait a minute."

The Burning Sea, in the heart of the Sahara Desert, is a true Jedi with no dotted oases and wells, and beyond this Jedi is to reach Lake Chad, the largest freshwater lake in the Black Continent.

There are a number of political entities around Lake Chad that can be considered a state, and their demand for salt far exceeds that of desert tribes, and it is one of the true destinations of trade between the north and south of the Sahara.

It's just that this road is very difficult to take, and only the most experienced and well-organized caravans can take this line.

No army large enough has yet been able to cross the Burning Sea, and the attempts of the greatest conquerors of the stars and moons have failed.

As a result, the area around Lake Chad and further south is still a land of orcs.

"Okay." The old housewife was also very satisfied. "Then I'll prepare dinner for you, I'm sure you haven't tried salamander meat and eggs yet."

Wu Xin also took out a bag of salt: "That's really going to taste it." ”

The entire tribe of Drow got busy and began to prepare for the grand dinner.

In the evening, the eldest son, Suha, was in his tent, playing with the steel knife he had just gotten in one hand and roaming in the clothes of his concubine with the other.

While rubbing, he imagined his future encounters, this inexplicable team is really stupid, and he handed over the weapon to them before he set off.

He doesn't have to fight with his brother in life and death, his brother's tribe will be his vassal, and with these weapons, he will be the overlord of a hundred miles in the future.

However, just as he was swimming in a bright future, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded: "Fool, you are in trouble." ”

"Who?!" As soon as Suha let go of his concubine, he picked up the steel knife and was about to fight. "It doesn't matter who I am, I'm your friend, your mother has already given all the other steel knives to the people who support your brother, and I'm going to cut you soon."

Wu Xin gave twenty steel knives, and the old housewife immediately gave one each to the eldest son and the second son, and the others were put away, indicating that they would be slowly distributed according to merit and status.

"What?! Why did my mother hurt me? I've let her do that. "There has always been a conflict between the chief and the chief heir." I know he likes his brother, but now he can have his own tribe, and after killing that caravan, maybe there will be a big reward from the Egyptian Pasha, why does she want to harm me? ”

"Foolish, the Egyptian Pasha has been asking your mother to give way to you as soon as possible, and although you have been humble, how can she not worry about getting rid of you, and she will be able to sit firmly in the position of leader for the rest of her life. This is a good opportunity, how can the person who can make the Egyptian Pasha send an envoy be a weak hand, you will die in this battle honorably, it is the best result for them, you have no choice! "Sazastan hid in the corner of the tent and struck the eldest son in the heart." Don't worry, primogeniture is the right way to go, I've contacted that group of merchants, and you can win. ”

"Balan, is that you?" He couldn't see who was speaking, and could only guess that it was the mage Balan, who had always been neutral on the matter of succession, who had finally decided to support him.

He is the only one who may have the ability.

Sazastan, of course, ignored him and disappeared straight into the sand.

As soon as he pushed away the concubine who didn't know what was going on, he picked up his knife and gathered his subordinates.

He didn't suspect that it was Wu Xin who was playing tricks, how could they know these secrets when they just arrived?

He quickly gathered his loyal subordinates: "Mother is old and faint, completely controlled by my brother, who has betrayed the Lord of the Star and Moon.................."
