Chapter 077
Then, the third and fourth king ships came up, and the owners of the king ships also coincidentally brought two escorts on the cargo ship, one of them was slightly shorter than Skoll, but it was also a standard Nord body type, and the other one, his beard and hair were gray, but his waist was still straight, but the tiredness in his eyes could not be concealed, it seemed that this should be the "white-haired god of war" in Norton's mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info It is worth noting that the person who comes will more or less glance at Mu, but only a glance, only the white-haired god of war stared at Mu for a while, looking thoughtful.
"Alright," Mu stood up from his seat as he saw that everyone had arrived, "welcome all of you Yael to do business with me, and it's my honor to meet you here in person." ā
Everyone glanced at Mu's side, but they all looked back at Norton, and Skoll asked Norton impatiently, "Shorty, what's the matter with this Ryledian?"
Norton took two deep breaths, suppressed the anger, and introduced to everyone, "This is the owner of the famous Roden-Ross firm on the mainland, Mu, this time, he also asked me to ask everyone out for a talk." ā
Saying this, the Yars couldn't help but turn their eyes to the merchants. Unlike the other Yar's contemptuous and curious gazes, the "white-haired god of war" frowned slightly, as if he felt that something was not right.
But Norton didn't stop, walked over to Mu's side, and introduced the Yar to the merchant one by one.
"This is the leader of the Sharks, Skoll. He pointed to the tall man who was the first to board the boat and said, "He is the person with the highest martial arts among us, and the strength of the tribe is also the strongest. ā
Hearing Norton say this, Skoll snorted with satisfaction and pride.
"Norton, you're not right to say that. The woman interjected dissatisfiedly, "I don't think we're any worse than their 'Sharks', and you can't discriminate against me just because I'm a woman." Before Skoll could make a move, she quickly turned to Mu and said, "Little girl Sofina, it's a pleasure to meet you." As he spoke, he lifted the non-existent skirt and made a funny curtsy, but neither his tone nor his actions felt polite at all, but were full of sarcasm.
Mu was still very calm, and also returned the bow. This is considered a return fire, because the jaw salute is generally used by superiors against subordinates. It's just that the Nords don't know this, so it's a bit of a hint of playing the piano to the cow.
Norton's gaze crossed over to the proud two, "This is the leader of the 'Chillclaw', Garbit, and this old man is the leader of the 'White Gull', and I mentioned to you, the 'white-haired god of war' Alain. ā
Perhaps because of the status of the tribe, these two maintained a certain degree of restraint compared to the two leaders in front of them, and did not appear too proud.
"Hello, merchant. ā
"I really don't dare to take the title of 'God of War'. Alan said, "So, Boss Mu, come to us, what's the matter?"
Mu smiled and said, "Let everyone come over against the cold wind so early, I can't help it, come, let's sit down first, eat and drink, and then talk slowly." As he spoke, he gave way to his body, so that the Yars could see the fiery charcoal stove burning behind them, and the fragrant grilled fish fillet. When Mu met with them, the well-behaved Jamila had already taken over Mu's work and grilled the fish fillets on the stove.
The crowd gathered around the charcoal stove and sat down on the cushions Norton had brought to him, and then took the flask, spice plate, and wooden skewers that Jamila had served. Of course, Skoll didn't care about this at all, he just twisted a piece of fish meat with his hand, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, then poured a sip of wine, and exclaimed loudly, "Cool!" It seemed that he was very satisfied with the humble attitude of the merchant.
As for the others, they are much more elegant, they all pick up a piece of fish with a bamboo skewer, and then follow Mu's demonstration, dip it in the spice plate, and then put it in their mouths and chew it. Soon, a spicy smell rushed to the tip of their noses, causing the Yars to frown. But soon, when the spicy smell dissipated, they suddenly found that the chill of being blown by the icy wind was swept away, and on the contrary, the warmth of the whole body was accompanied by a sip of warm wine, which simply made people feel like they were fluttering. "Whew, it's really... Magical. Sofina exclaimed, "It's so cold, but I'm sweating!"
As she spoke, she took off her leather jacket without any scruples, revealing the sackcloth inside. Seeing this, Mu couldn't help but be taken aback. Although they are all Nords, their statures are really incomparable. It is true that Jamila is tall, but her body is round and jade, and her body is plump and full, like a ripe peach, which is very attractive. And the one in front of me, well, it is true that it should be convex, and it should be warped, but the problem is that she is also convex where it shouldn't be! For example, the thighs that are comparable to frogs, the arms that are thicker than Mu's thighs, the eight-pack abs that neatly prop up Mai, and the two balls on the chest that I don't know whether to call pectoral muscles or European pies... Forehead... Mysterious square blocks... However, perhaps this is what a traditional Nord woman should look like
However, Sofina didn't care about it at all, but threw a flattering look at Mu, "The old lady only gives powerful men a!"
The merchant quickly shrunk his neck, "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape." ā
Gabit and Alain also took off their robes profusely and sweated, but they were gasping for breath while hissing ~ hissing ~ and constantly stuffing the fish meat. Take off your armor, this is not only a real food and a fever, but also a means of showing goodwill. Just like the hat ceremony in Svadia, it originally originated from a knight attending a banquet or any other occasion, and in order to show kindness to his master, he took off his helmet after entering the master's castle. As one of the deadliest parts of the human body, it is self-evident how important the head protector is. And taking it off means that I have complete trust in you and am defenseless. Gradually, this behavior became a ceremonial action.
After three rounds of drinking, the "white-haired god of war" came back to his senses, looking at the few Yar who were still eating honestly around him, he couldn't help but blush, but he quickly calmed down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then asked, "Boss Mu, this... What's the sauce?"
Hearing Alain's question, all the Yar stopped and turned their gaze to the merchant. They all quickly realized how much this kind of sauce that heats up their bodies means to the Nords. This means that during the cold winters of the Northern Islands, there will be a significant decrease in the number of people who freeze to death.
"Oh, it's made from a spice called pepper that the Rhodoks brought from overseas, and it's still only in the trial stage, so it should be widespread in a few years. ā
"Well, how much more of this spice do you have, I'd like to buy some. Gabit grabbed the white way, for fear of being led by others.
"I do have some here," Mu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "but this is still a spice after all, so in terms of price, you may have to be prepared." ā
All the Yar nodded in understanding, as there were no trade routes to the archipelago, so they could understand the high cost of spices.
"When you eat, if you don't eat the main food, you always feel empty in your stomach. Mu digressed the subject, then picked up a small piece of dough from Jamila's new plate and pressed it into a cake on the oven. The fish oil oozing from the previous grilled fish came into contact with the dough, and then a fresh fragrance came to the nostrils, and after a while, Mu turned the scones over, and the golden color rose in the cold wind, which made the Yar people subconsciously suck their saliva.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, please use it. ā
It was still Skoll who took the lead, and he was not too hot, grabbing a cake and nibbling on it. Although he said that it was not delicious, the faster and faster disappearance of the dough completely revealed his true thoughts. The other Yar also picked up their share, and after taking a bite, they all nodded in praise. The dough is charred on the outside and soft on the inside, with a unique taste, and with the uncooled fish oil and the seasoning of the leftover fish when grilled, it can be described as fresh but not fishy, fragrant but not greasy. When the woman let go, it was really different, and Sofina herself was indeed wild and uninhibited. Therefore, she didn't want to save face like Skoll, or be as reserved as the other two, and directly praised it loudly, "Although I look down on you Ruierdian people for being cowardly, in terms of eating, you are much better than the Nords." ā
The "white-haired god of war" wiped his mouth again and said calmly, "So, Boss Mu, you are full of wine and food, can you talk about business?"
Everyone was shocked, and then they remembered that they had not come to eat.
Mu smiled slightly and said, "Okay, this matter is easy to say. Now, the three kings, Harlaus, Hakim, and Griffos, are playing a big game, and my employer wants to get involved, but there is a piece on the board that gets in the way, so she wants to throw it off the court, and that's it. ā
The Yars frowned, only Skoll snorted coldly, "You mean, you're going to use us as pawns!"
"Of course," Mu smiled even more, "but on the board of Calradia, it's also a good thing to be a pawn." After all, many people don't even have the qualifications to be pawns. ā
"It's not a big problem to be a pawn, the question is, what do you want us to do. The god of war frowned, a cold gaze shot into his eyes, "If we are made to be outcasts, we will never agree." ā
"Of course, of course, I know that. Idiots who don't have a chance of winning will fight. Mu said, "If you are willing to cooperate, this task will definitely be easy for you." ā
"So, what is it?" Sofina narrowed her eyes, and this action actually seemed a little charming.
"Simple, kill the 'Tooth Hunter'. ā
There was silence on the ship, but Mu didn't plan to stop, so he continued, "I've learned a little, although the 'Tooth Hunting' is powerful, any of you can defeat him if you join forces, let alone five families. You can get supplies from their territory, you can get soldiers, you can get ships, and even if you have a bad reputation because of their careless behavior, if you succeed, you will become famous, and the whole ocean will tell your story, and the mighty people will come to you. Mu paused, took a sip of warm wine, and continued, "What do you think of this proposal?"
Skoll's face was already shining, and it was obvious that he had already moved, and although Sofina was also thinking, judging from her expression and movements, she was also inclined to go to war. Norton and Nordy had already discussed, so naturally there would be no objections, and Alain and Gabitt exchanged a look, frowning at the same time, falling into thought. Their power is the weakest, and they don't have as much room as "Shark" and "Blood". Maybe Gabit is fine, but Alain's heart is very entangled. The decline of the "White Gull" is already an indisputable fact, and now, as Mu said, if the "Tooth Hunting" can be defeated, it is undoubtedly expected to save the current decline, even if it cannot regain the top, it can continue for a few more years. However, he really can't help but doubt whether the five can cooperate sincerely. If someone suddenly plays tricks and sells other people, it is really too late to cry. But seriously, Alain doesn't like to miss this opportunity.
So, he spoke again, "Boss Mu, what you said is very good, but what are you going to pay, you won't want to empty the gloves of the white wolf." ā
Everyone was shocked, and then they reacted, saying that it was this Rui Erdian who was doing business, but he didn't mention any conditions, and in the end, he wanted them to work for free!
Taking advantage of the anger of the Yars, Mu hurriedly smiled and said, "Of course not, you can ask the entourage to look at the cargo hold of this ship, and you will know the price I offered." The Yars half-convinced their men to go down, and soon saw them run out in surprise, and then whispered a few words to their respective bosses, and the bosses' faces suddenly softened a lot.
"I guess you already know," Mu smiled and said, "There are enough food and grass for five hundred people in this ship for three days, what do you think?"
It was clear that the Yars were already a little tempted. Because of the special customs, the population of the Nord tribe is actually not large, and most of them are strong young and strong and all the people are soldiers, so it is not as exaggerated as in other countries, twenty or even a hundred people raise a soldier. Therefore, the price offered by Mu just hit the itch of the faces. They robbed everywhere, but didn't they try to fill their stomachs?
Of course, there are still objections, and it is Skoll.
"You kid, what about sending Hanako, how much can each of our families get for this bit of food, and you still want us to work hard?"
"Hehe, you're mistaken. Mu continued to smile and said, "These are just the greeting gifts I have prepared for you to show my sincerity. Of course, you can take it now. It doesn't matter if I decide not to participate in this project, I just want to express my friendship to you. ā
"However, if you finally win the 'Hunting Fang'" Mu Yanfeng turned, "I am willing to give you the food of such a ship for each tribe." ā
These words were loud and clear, and the ship suddenly felt another wave of amazement, even Alain.
As the old saying goes, "The secret to negotiation is to offer a price that the other party can't refuse." ā
