Sophia lay lazily on the sofa, her aqua blue spider silk dress clinging to her body, outlining the perfect curves, and a pair of white and tender little feet resting high on the armrests on one side, casually as if in her own marquis's mansion.

Silvia didn't care that her favorite sofa was being taken, but looked through the window with interest at a few people on the lawn. They were obviously much taller and stronger than ordinary people, even the shortest woman was 2.1 meters tall, and although they all changed into ordinary human clothes, their knotted muscles, bronzed complexion, and fierce aura all indicated the identity of barbarians.

Of the four barbarians with men and three women, there was one female savage who was the most perceptive, and whenever Sylvia's gaze fell on her, she looked around vigilantly. Sylvia's expression moved, and she asked Sophia, who was occupying her couch, "That female barbarian is a berserker?

"Neither, Golan is a war singer. Sophia replied, with a faint hint of smugness.

There was a hint of color in Sylvia's azure eyes, barbarians are powerful inhumans, and the strength of each of their adult warriors is no less than that of ordinary knights, and the physique, strength, speed, and endurance of barbarian warriors are even stronger than knights. But strength does not mean combat effectiveness, knights use the four elements, coordinate strength and agility, and can always exert amazing combat effectiveness, if you fight alone, most of the barbarian warriors are not the opponents of knights. However, there are some special individuals among the barbarians that are by no means comparable to ordinary knights.

A barbarian who has awakened his talent for madness, the so-called berserker. Once the Berserker enters the Berserker state, his strength, speed, and combat instinct are greatly improved. The Berserk talent is somewhat similar to the Ogre's Berserk, except that the boost is less effective than the Rage. However, Frenzy can be actively activated, which is the same as Bloodlust, but the effect of Frenzy is higher than that of Bloodlust. In addition, Berserk can also make the Barbarian's body tougher, which is an important characteristic that distinguishes it from Berserk and Bloodthirsty.

Compared to the impressive Berserkers, the Master of Weapons is the mainstay of the Barbarian clan. Weapon master has nothing to do with talent, as long as you have a thousand tempered skills and indomitable will, and then hunt a silver level monster alone, you can be called a weapon master. All Barbarian weapon masters are at least silver-tier warriors, and weapon masters with a talent for madness even have a record of slaying the pinnacle knights of humans.

There is also a particularly rare kind of talent among the barbarians, and that is the War Chanter. The ability of the War Chant is simple, they can roar and chant war songs to inspire the courage and tenacity of their comrades to fight. However, it is this simple ability that makes the Warchants the most valuable member of the Barbarian tribe. Sometimes the barbarian tribes had to trek thousands of kilometers in harsh environments, and it was almost impossible for them to do so without the morale of the War Chanters.

It's no secret that Sophia can trade with barbarians, and it's normal to have a few Barbarian followers around, but with a Warchanter follower, the meaning is different. Getting the clan's precious warriors to follow Sophia is not something that can be done through simple trade relations. Explain that Sophia has a barbarian tribe behind her, and it is by no means a small tribe.

For thousands of years, the relationship between the barbarian tribe and the human race has been cold, and if Sophia really gains the trust and support of a barbarian tribe, it will definitely be a feat. Sylvia looked carefully at this friend she hadn't seen in a few years, and couldn't help but ask.

"How the hell did you do that?"

Sophia sat up straight and stroked her bewitching purple hair, "It's not what you think, Golan has only recently awakened the talent of the War Singer, and when this matter is over, I plan to take her to the Duchy of Teuton." ”

The Duchy of Teutonia is the only human territory near the Turrell Mountains, nominally a member of the Sarsan Empire, but in fact a dominion of the Moon Bear family, from which the barbarians of the human world have emerged.

The barbarians have a special affection for the Turrell Mountains, which they call the Holy Mountains, and they are reluctant to leave the Turrell Mountains, no matter how difficult their lives in the mountains are. But some barbarians were exiled from the Turrell Mountains for various reasons, and most of them lived a simple and barren life south of the mountains. It wasn't until the Moon Bear family opened up the Teutonic Territory that the exiled barbarians finally began to come into contact with humans, and over time the Duchy of Teuton became a meeting place for humans and barbarians.

In the Teutonic Principality, barbarians were free to enter and leave human towns, while humans were not allowed to enter barbarian villages at will. Because of this open-minded policy, the Moon Bear family gained the trust of the barbarians, and some of the barbarians began to find some work in the Teutonic territory to improve their own lives and those of their tribes. Gradually, the Human Chamber of Commerce also began to enter the Teutonic Territory to trade with the Barbarians. However, it was not easy to win the favor of the barbarians, and only a few chambers of commerce were successful. Sophia's Chamber of Commerce is one of them.

Now, Sophia is going to bring Golan back to the Teutonic Realm, and the village of Golan will be ecstatic, and the singers will be able to regain their acceptance into the tribes of the Turrell Mountains. And Sophia will surely be grateful to the tribe. But this kind of thing doesn't need Sophia to make a trip herself, unless she needs to gain the favor of the barbarian tribe in her own name.

Thinking of this, Sylvia frowned and asked, "Sophia, are you going to start anew?"

Sophia glanced at Sylvia in surprise and said with a smile: "The Chamber of Commerce is still under my control, but I am indeed planning. Anyway, the Chamber of Commerce will eventually fall into Sauron's hands, and I guarantee that scumbag will only get an empty shell. ”

Sylvia pondered for a moment and said, "Sophia, join my Knights of the Rose, I promise you won't be disappointed." ”

"The centaur hills have become a real pioneer, you have so much confidence?" Sophia smiled lightly, and then pouted, "You know, I was born as a wild knight. I have never had a good impression of my family. In my most difficult time, it was the Chamber of Commerce that accepted me. I...... Forget it, let's get down to business. ”

Ordinary family knights, who have enjoyed the resources provided by the family since childhood, accepted the teachings of the knight teacher, and are instilled with the concept of allegiance to the family. And the wild knights don't have this kind of treatment, and naturally they don't have the concept of being loyal to the family. Sophia has been ignored by her family since she was a child, everything is on her own, and she has no sense of identity with the family.

"Say, what did Archduke Williams tell you to bring?" Sylvia knew about Sophia's knot, so she was no longer reluctant.

"Archduke, just let me tell you that the kingdom will support you to the fullest. Sophia frowned and asked suspiciously, "I'm very curious, why did he ask me to convey such a simple word? For this reason, he transferred Sauron and gave me a year to do something." ”

Sylvia smiled faintly, "Do you think that our York family has a good relationship with Archduke Williams?"

"Aren't you? aren't you supporters of the Grand Duke?" asked Sophia, puzzled.

Sylvia shook her head, "How could the York family have a good relationship with the Auguste family!? If we had joined Neovestre, the lords in the eastern part of the kingdom would have been in danger, and in order to stabilize us, Williams gave us a larger territory.

However, have you thought about it. If Prince Edward inherits the throne, with Roland's extreme character, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our York family again. We're in a hurry, and it's not the lord families on the east and west sides of the kingdom that are unlucky. Do you think these families would like to see Prince Edward on the throne? They were certainly strong supporters of Williams. Therefore, our stay in the Kingdom of Gambis is the greatest support for Williams.

In fact, Williams was trying to ease the relationship between our two families, but he was afraid that we would continue to sit on the throne. The prince's party was stationed in the Centaur Hill, and he was also happy to see it happen. ”

Sophia sighed, "I can't imagine that Archduke Williams still has such a strategy! What does this have to do with me?"

Although Sophia is intelligent, she has no family education and is not sensitive to politics, so Sylvia explains: "The Grand Duke is expressing sincerity. When the power of any kingdom reaches its peak, it expands outward, and before that, the kingdom needs to integrate its internal forces. Our House of York bore the brunt of the consolidation, and your Chamber of Commerce is on the list of consolidations. The Grand Duke was obviously aware of our secret relationship, and he was telling me that the kingdom could accommodate you, and we of the House of York. Of course, this also shows that the Grand Duke and the Queen have reached a consensus in the face of disaster, and the overall strategy of the kingdom has changed. ”

Sophia's amethyst-like eyes lit up first, then dimmed, and said self-deprecatingly: "I see, no wonder there has never been a chamber of commerce with a history of more than two hundred years. Even if Williams said he could tolerate me, it wouldn't change my decision. ”

Sylvia bowed her jaw and said: "Yes, Williams can only express his position on your issue, he gives you a year, that is, you can empty the entire Chamber of Commerce in return." No one can challenge the authority of the lord's law, not even the church.

A year later, Sauron was bound to recapture the Chamber of Commerce. You also know that the reason why your Chamber of Commerce is unimpeded is because of the surname Wimbledon. Even if you gain the friendship of the Barbarian tribe, it will be very difficult to recreate a Chamber of Commerce. Because, your trade route is no longer open!"

"What the hell are you trying to say about hitting me like this?" Sophia asked in a deep voice, staring at Sylvia with burning eyes.

Sylvia smiled and said, "I said, no one can challenge the authority of the lord's law!"

Sophia jumped up in an instant, her towering chest rising and falling, "Victor is still alive?he's in your hands?!"

Sylvia nodded slightly, and Sophia smiled coquettishly, "Say, what do you want from me?"

"When this ant plague is over, the kingdom will definitely use food to make it difficult for me. I know that you have a secret trade route to the Sassan Empire, and I need your support on this matter. ”

"It's not easy, but I can promise you. Sophia nodded in agreement.

"One more thing. I need more iron, twice as much as I used to. ”

"This can't be! The Chamber of Commerce has a quota for the iron material it buys from Neville. Sophia shook her head and refused, and emphasized: "I really can't do this!"

Sylvia said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I can hand over the management rights of the purple cane wine to you, but in terms of profit distribution, we have to renegotiate." ”

Sylvia's conditions were not excessive, but Sophia frowned, considering that she knew Sylvia, it was very abnormal! She tentatively said, "I can promise you, but I will take Victor away." ”

Sylvia's face turned cold and she flatly refused. "Impossible! He's a lord now, how can he go with you. ”

Sophia raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't try to control me! At most, I'll start from scratch!"

Sylvia sneered, "Hehe, control you, do you think I'm going to be as narrow-minded as Catherine?"

"That's not your style! You can't just mention these conditions, these are within the scope of the agreement. What the hell do you want?"

Now it was Sylvia's turn to get annoyed, and said coquettishly, "Within the agreed range? You just swore that there is not so much iron! Also, you tell me clearly, what is my style?"

In the face of the golden knight with teeth and claws, Sophia did not retreat, "Of course I won't take Victor away, Sauron will do everything possible to get rid of him." If you don't say anything about the conditions, we will abide by the original agreement. ”

Sylvia glared at Sophia fiercely, then sneered, shook her head and said, "I want the Sword Saint Draven's combat skill scroll, don't tell me, you didn't bring it." You even have Golan with you, how could you possibly leave something as important as the Battle Skill Scroll in the Marquis's Palace. ”

"Draven's combat skills are useless against knights, only those of the Moon Elf bloodline awakened can use them. Could it be that Victor has awakened the talent of the Moon Elves?

Seeing Sylvia nodding, Sophia was silent for a moment, and said with a complicated expression: "I want to give it to him personally." ”
