The barbarian cavalry moved out of the way, and Duke's storm guard naturally put away his one-handed shield and made way for Duke. However, the storm guards are still distributed in a semicircle, and a pair of eyes are extremely vigilant to look at the surrounding barbarian cavalry, ready to fight at any time!

Duke, under the leadership of Allen, walked towards the barbarian tent, which was just such a tent, and it seemed that it was prepared for trading with Duke.

However, when the Storm Army escort walked to the side of the tent, the barbarian soldiers stepped forward to stop Duke's storm guard, and said in a very arrogant tone, "This is the camp of the Great Shaman, no soldiers are allowed to approach!"

Dore also looked at the barbarian soldiers with an angry face at this time, and argued: "I must ensure the safety of the lord, so I can't accept your conditions." ”

"On the grassland, you have to accept our conditions!"

The barbarian warrior also did not give an inch, his tone was full of gunpowder, and at the same time, the barbarian warriors behind him heard the argument and surrounded the storm guard. Faced with such a situation, the storm guards formed a circle again, looking at the barbarian soldiers around them with a wary expression.

For this situation, Duke also felt very helpless. He knew that this was not because the other party wanted to continue to use the method of dismounting, but because the two sides had been enemies for thousands of years, and it could be said that there was no basis for trust, and they were also worried that so many storm guards staying around the camp would pose a threat to the barbarian great shaman.

"Carl stood guard at the door, Alan followed me in, and the rest of the storm guards stepped back. ”

Duke had made his decision almost instantaneously, he had come to this point, there was no need to have something unpleasant with the barbarians because of such a thing. And the other party's cautious attitude is also more in line with the trading style between the barbarians and the human empire, otherwise Duke will still feel cheating.

After hearing Duke's order, Dore stood to the left of the entrance to the tent, and to the right was also a tall barbarian warrior. Both of them glared at each other, their faces were full of dissatisfaction, if it wasn't for the transaction today, it is estimated that these two people couldn't help but want to fight to prove themselves.

Duke entered the tent, where the ground was covered with warm hides, and there was a charcoal fire in the middle of the house. The barbarian great shaman sat on the upper seat, looking at Duke with a blank face, and there were some barbarian generals sitting on the ground on the left, looking at Duke and Alan with a wary look.

Seeing that the Barbarian had vacated the position on the right, Duke was a little more confident that the trade would be successful. The reason is very simple, that is, the Middle Ages was different from the Eastern China, where the left was respected, and they were respectful of the right.

Since the barbarians have reserved the right position for themselves, it means that they consider themselves to be honored guests, and there is a basis for negotiation.

Duke did not sit down on the left side politely, and almost as soon as Duke sat down, a maid came up with wine and beef and mutton. To be honest, after Duke came here, he had eaten mutton, but he had never touched beef.

Because in Storm Castle, cattle are important production animals, and without special circumstances, it is not allowed to slaughter cattle and horses at will, so Duke has basically not encountered this situation for more than a year except for a period of time in the imperial capital.

But in this case, of course, Duke could not have made anything, but after the food was served, Duke filled his wine glass, raised it to the barbarian great shaman and said, "Your Excellency, honorable great shaman, I will give you a glass first." ”

Duke, whether it is identity, status, or even title, seriously speaking, there is a big gap between him and the Great Shaman. According to the normal principle of diplomatic reciprocity between the two countries, the great shaman should be at the level of Duke Otto, so he took the initiative to meet Duke today, and it is very normal to have some rules and shelves, and Duke has no equipment, so he took the initiative to show goodwill.

Sure enough, seeing Duke take the initiative to toast, the expression on the big shaman's face looked a little better, because the human empire regards the barbarians as barbarians, especially some human nobles, who lack the most basic respect for the barbarian high-level, so the barbarians will not have a good impression of human nobles like Duke.

But Duke's actions shortened the distance between him and the barbarians, and he easily won their favor.

After drinking a cup together, the barbarian great shaman also spoke at this time: "Viscount Duke, this time you come over, our barbarian clan is repaying with great sincerity. If it weren't for my previous acquaintance with Knight Allen, this meeting would not have been possible, because I don't trust you at all. ”

The barbarian shaman's words were very unpleasant, and Allen's face was also embarrassed, he was really worried that Duke wouldn't be able to stand this kind of words, so he slapped the table and turned his face.

But Alan still underestimated Duke too much, and saw Duke still say with a smile on his face: "Great Shaman, I know what you are worried about, but I can assure you that Storm Castle came with great sincerity, and even took the initiative to fight the border in order to trade with you barbarians. ”

"And trust is something that is built gradually, and I believe that as long as we have a trading experience, the quality of our Storm Castle goods is enough to make you trust. ”

Hearing Duke's answer, the barbarian great shaman nodded, Duke's performance made him very satisfied, without the arrogance of ordinary young imperial nobles.

"Really, what did you bring with you?"

Hearing the great shaman's question, Duke said directly to Alan beside him, "Go and get our goods." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

After Alan heard this, he stood up directly and walked towards the outside of the tent, this time he was also fully prepared to meet Duke, he had already brought the goods traded by Storm Castle and the barbarians, and Duke had absolute confidence in the quality of Storm Castle's goods.

In less than a minute, Alan walked in from outside the tent, this time with a large bag of things in his hand, including weapons and iron farming tools, and placed them in the center of the tent.

Seeing that the goods were brought in, Duke also stood up directly and walked to the middle of the tent, pointed to the goods on the ground and said: "I know the character of your barbarians, and you don't like the twists and turns of the human empire, so this time I don't plan to say any nonsense, just bring all the samples." ”

"I'm sure Alan has already spoken about what Stormcastle will offer in your previous encounters. But I want to emphasize again that doing business with our Storm Castle is definitely a win-win situation!"
