Chapter 158: The Slime Family's Trade

Ace smiled gently, "As far as I know, the largest tribe in the prairie is in the thousands."

The people of the Demacian family expressed admiration. They initially thought that even if there were many people from the outside world, they would be made up of small fishing villages like their own family.

Ace looked at the herdsmen who were grazing leisurely, and his heart was calm.

Now, for them, maybe it's not a bad thing to live on such a prairie. At least, their lives are simple. It's usually simple. They don't have much deceit and greed like New Delhiians and live in hypocrisy.

However, the unpredictable drought of the savannah also makes life a bit difficult for them.

"Perhaps in the future, the situation can be improved after the establishment of trade relations between the Prairie and Yali Giang Province. After all, there are several huge rivers and lakes in Yali River province, and there is no shortage of water resources." Ace thought to himself.

They soon crossed over the subhuman tribes and continued their migration southward.

With the help of Ace's Wind Demon Scroll, the group became very fast and not tired at all, as the air always stayed at their feet, reducing their sense of weight.

More than an hour later, they saw a relatively large tribe. Look, there should be hundreds of tents. It is estimated that this should be a tribe of thousands of people.

The defenses there were much more complete than those of the small tribes seen earlier. The camp is surrounded by a number of sharp wooden fences to ward off wild wolves.

Between the wooden bars, there is a wooden tower five or six meters high every few tens of meters. There seemed to be two sentries with bows and arrows standing on it, who had been carefully patrolling around the camp.

Demacia asked, "Is this a relatively large tribe?"

Ace replied, "It's medium standard, but they've grown to a certain size, and ordinary wolves can no longer pose a threat to them."

Demacia looked at the archers on the tower and said, "Those fellows also use bows and arrows. I wonder if their arms are stronger than mine."

Ace waved his hand again and again, "No! In a pig's eye! Your strength is terrifying. Although I know that these steppe herders are indeed good at shooting and riding, they must be much weaker than you."

Demacia innocently touched his hair and said with a smile, "Not necessarily! If I have the chance, I'd like to compete with them!"

Ace replied, "Then you must tell me when you compete, and I will bet on you to win!"

Ace and Demacia looked at each other and laughed.

Just kidding, Demacia's archery, Ace has already seen it. If his perception was no different from that of an ordinary person, he would probably have died in the Pacific Ocean by the time he approached the maelstrom.

Ace compares Demacia's wrist strength to that of a normal warlord and paladin.

It feels like it's a cut above them.

An arrow shot with this terrible force must be very powerful.

The subhuman tribes in the distance quickly found the whereabouts of Ace and the others, and soon a horn sounded in their camp.

Ace frowned. They were just passing by, not wanting to cause a dispute, and somehow, this tribe actually took the initiative to attack.

Soon, the wooden door of the tribe was quickly opened, and the cavalry of fifty or sixty people rushed towards Ace and the others.

The members of the Demacia family saw each other rushing towards each other and looked at Demacia in horror.

As the contemporary patriarch of House Demacia and the most powerful warrior in the family, Demacia is naturally fearless.

When Demacia tried to break out of the ranks to fight the steppe cavalry, Ace immediately stopped him.

"Don't do it, let me talk to them first!" Ace turned and flew towards the cavalry.

This time, he didn't hide anything, and the dragon wing behind him suddenly appeared, and the whole person turned into a strong wind and rushed out.

Demacia lowered his head, pondered for a few seconds, and then said to the person next to him, "Let's wait here first!"

After saying that, he immediately followed Ace's footsteps and ran away.

Ace quickly walked more than thirty meters in front of the cavalry, and then the whole person was suspended in mid-air.

The steppe cavalry didn't expect Ace to fly so fast!

The chief cavalry general did not give Ace a chance to speak at all. Without saying a word, he pulled an arrow from his back, pulled the bowstring, and shot at Ace.

Ace didn't panic at all, and when the arrow came at him, he quickly swung the dark dagger in his hand. The arrow collided with the dagger, making a crisp "ding" sound.

Ace couldn't help but sigh, "The strength is okay."

But compared to Demacia, the gap is huge.

The cavalry captain was surprised to find that his arrows were easily blocked by Ace, but he quickly calmed down and shouted to his subordinates behind him in subhuman language, "Release the arrows!"

For a moment, the arrows in the sky were like a heavy rain, and they came to Ace's side.

Faced with such a scene, Ace still did not panic.

His body resembles a ghost, often moving between arrows. Occasionally, some arrows are angled at subtle angles. He can't escape, and he can break them one by one with a dagger.

After a wave of arrows, seeing that Ace was still safe and sound, the cavalry captain was a little worried.

He claimed to be the best archer in the tribe. His archery skills are high. Once, he shot two eagles at the same time with an arrow. He enjoyed great prestige throughout the tribe, so he could hold the position of cavalry general.

Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to shoot Ace, but even a single arrow from dozens of his men did not touch Ace.

While he was still hesitating to order a second round of shooting, Demacia came to Ace's side.

He glanced at Ace, then frowned as he watched the cavalry general sit on his horse in the distance.

Then he picked up the bow and arrow with great skill.

"Don't!" Ace immediately stopped, but Demacia was moving too fast, he was unprepared, and it was too late.

Arrows shot like lightning into the head of the cavalry general.

The cavalry captain had not yet fully reacted.

The felt hat on his head was pierced by an arrow and flew to the ground. The trajectory is in the same direction as the arrow.

Then three "whoosh" whistles were heard, and the four arrows made their own different trajectories, passing through the felt hat that had not yet fallen to the ground from different angles.

The hat finally fell to the ground with a "snap".

But four arrows were shot into the same felt cap from different angles, and the distance between each hole was almost the same.

At this point, the cavalry general of the subhuman tribe finally reacted, touched his head, and found that it was still there, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this time, he broke out in a cold sweat, because he had never seen such a terrible archery, which could be shot at the same target from different angles. The route of the arrow is strange and difficult to understand.

Obviously, these four arrows are faster and stronger than the others! Such an amazing power is terrifying!

"How did he do it?" The cavalry general was so fascinated by Demacia's superb absolute skill that he forgot to give orders for a while.

Demacia grunted, took the ordinary-looking bow back, and stood beside Ace.

Ace had no choice but to shake his head. This guy's archery moves are too fast and too skilled to stop him.

Initially, Ace just wanted to ask them why they chose to attack directly. He doesn't seem to have anything to do with them.

But now that Demacia had swept the face of the cavalry general in front of so many people, it seemed difficult to talk calmly. Ace couldn't help but feel a headache.

Demaci Asia was reckless.

He didn't know that Demacia saw these steppe cavalry and attacked Ace directly without asking, so he quickly responded.

Ace quickly explained in subhuman language, "We just passed through here and don't want to cause trouble. I don't know why you chose to go on the offensive directly. May I ask why?"

The cavalry general came to his senses at this point. First, he cast a look of awe at Demacia and nodded slightly in respect. Then he looked at Ace and said, "You New Delhi people have stolen more than a dozen fine horses from our tribe. How can we not stop it?"

Ace couldn't help but think. In recent years, the Emperor of New Delhi

There has never been much contact between the country and the Asian steppe. Just recently, Ace asked someone from the Slime family to come to the Sub-tribe to check on the situation.

However, according to the Slime family's style of doing things, it is impossible to do such a despicable thing. Ace trusts Carla a lot.

"Anyone other than the Slime Family has begun to interfere in the affairs of the Subhuman Grasslands? Who could it be?" Ace was confused for a moment.

Ace immediately asked, "Are you sure it was the New Delhi who stole it?" Not any other tribe?"

The cavalry general replied decisively, "Of course you can be sure! Many of us saw it at the time. Isn't there something wrong with our eyes?"

Seeing them so convinced, Ace couldn't help but get worried. Somehow, he always felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

"Don't worry, we just happened to be passing by and didn't mean anything else. So, please give us the way." Ace spoke sincerely.

After some thought, the cavalry captain finally shook his head.

Ace's face sank. He was about to ask why, but Demacia pulled out another great bow and arrow.

Ace was wary this time and stopped further action.

But the general said, "I want to ask this warrior how you practiced archery and why you can reach such a high level."

Obviously, this was said to Demacia.

But Demacia didn't know the Asian language at all, so he didn't respond.

Ace had to play a role to express, "He asked you why your archery was so powerful."

Demacia was surprised at first, then said, "Because our family lives in the Pacific Ocean all year round, and there are all kinds of terrible creatures there. In order to protect my family, I have to practice archery every day to protect against all kinds of monsters."

"When I have nothing to do, I aim for the shimmering glitter fish in the sea."

Hearing this, Ace was shocked. He remembered the glittering glittering fish. It is said that this fish is extremely fast, and can even pierce the flesh of large fish at its own speed, enter the prey and swallow wildly.

One can imagine how agile this fish is. It's hard to imagine such a demanding requirement for archery with a glitter fish as a target.

After hearing Ace's translation, the cavalry general couldn't help but ask, "What is a sparkling glitter fish?" Why haven't I ever heard of it?"

Ace was confused for a moment, then explained that it was a glitter fish that lived in the ocean and was very sensitive and difficult to catch.

After speaking, the general nodded, "My name is Rex. I am the leader of our subhuman cavalry. What are your names?"

Ace said kindly, "My name is Monchi-D-Ace."

He pushed to Demacia's side again: "They asked for your name!"

Demacia was stunned for a moment, then simply said, "Demacia."

The guy who called himself Rex said a lot of praise for Demacia's archery, which made it difficult for Ace to express it, and he laughed awkwardly for a while.

In the end, Ace could only say to Demacia, "He said too much, and roughly speaking, he praised your shooting skills. I hope to learn from you one day."

At this point, Demacia's vigilance against these subassians was greatly reduced, and he calmly said, "We shouldn't stay here. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will come back here again and then we can learn from each other."

After Ace conveyed Demacia's meaning, although Rex privately said that it was a pity, he did not keep him more, but chose a very direct concession. When Ace and Demacia are seen leaving with a group of people, Rex also gives Demacia a unique goodwill etiquette.

It can be seen how much the tribal cavalry leaders respected Demacia. On the contrary, he doesn't show much reverence for the more powerful Ace.

Perhaps, in their view, the so-called magic advocated by the people of New Delhi is an unorthodox heresy, somewhat similar to witchcraft, and is not worth advocating.

After leaving the subhuman tribe, Ace continued his journey south with the Demacian family.

this

At one point, they deliberately bypassed some of the large subhuman tribes, as Ace always felt that these tribes might not have a good opinion of the New Delhins, and even hated them.

After a long day's journey, they finally came to a small subhuman tribe, which was the subhuman tribe where the little boy Arthur lived.

At this time, the sub-tribe was more active than before, because before that, they welcomed a team of material men and horses from Yalijiang Province.

This time, the Slimes also brought with them a lot of things that the subhumans had never seen before, lots of practical furniture, glass and crystal utensils, and plenty of food and water.

The food is mainly flour, eggs, and cheese.

For the average person, food and water are the most important necessities of life.

This time, they brought five cartloads of food and three boxes of water, which was a huge supply for the tribe.

As a result, the subhuman tribe was very polite to the members of the Slime family, and even killed a fat cow to celebrate the arrival of a distant guest.

You know, cattle are a very important asset for the sub-people. Their water resources are relatively scarce, so most of their water comes from milk.

This time, the subhuman tribe is willing to kill cattle to welcome guests, which shows how sincere they are.

When Ace and Demacia and the others came to the subhuman tribe, they naturally burst into laughter. In particular, the little boy Arthur has been holding Ace's hand tightly, for fear that Ace will leave him again.

Carla stood not far away, looking at Ace, who was completely surrounded by the crowd, with a happy and shy smile.

She always felt that Ace had a very strange personality charm. Wherever he went, he was the center of the crowd.

From the beginning, even though he was not a student of the academy, almost all the tutors in the academy knew him or heard of his name.

Later, in the emperor team, he was very famous among the younger generation. Together with Henry, they were recognized as the most promising young men in the empire, becoming the next generation of state leadership officials.

It wasn't until he was framed by the Robert family's father and son that Ace's reputation in the New Delhi Empire plummeted, and he was eventually identified as a traitor.

Soon, Ace walked out of the crowd and slowly walked towards Kara.

Kara's original state of contemplation was suddenly broken, and her whole person couldn't help but tremble.

She quickly changed from surprise to shyness, blushed, and said, "You're finally back."

Despite the surprise of the others, Ace stepped forward and gave Kara a big hug.

Kara didn't react for a moment. Her hands hung stiffly in the air, a little overwhelmed.

Ace quickly let her go, saying, "I know you'll be here soon."

Kara thought about it slowly, but her mind was still immersed in the hug she had just given, and she said incoherently, "Ah, yes, yes, I've been learning Asian from Arthur lately."

"Hmm!" Ace nodded slightly, then straightened his face and asked, "Do you think it is feasible to establish trade between the main tribes of Yalijiang Province and the tribes of the Yaren Grassland?"

At this point, Kara's emotions slowly calmed down, and her face returned to its original appearance. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "For now, it's doable!"

"But there are still problems! For example, if there are no clear road markings, there may be difficulties with border guards when crossing the western border line, etc."

Ace agrees, "These do need to be considered. As for the road situation, I don't think it should be an issue. As long as trade between the two sides is closer, there is no need for a clear path."

"It's really a big problem as far as border control is concerned. Especially if the convoy of the Asians wants to pass through the border line, it is impossible!" Ace is also worried.

For many years, in the eyes of the imperial people of New Delhi, the subhumans were ***, born inferior. In some places, they even cursed the subhumans with the word "barbarian."

It is enough to see how the people of New Delhi look down on the sub-people.

If the caravans of the sub-people want to cross the border, it will be really difficult and will definitely be blocked by the New Delhi border guards.

"Actually

It's not going well for us to be here this time." Kara said, wrinkling her eyebrows.

Ace asked gloomily, "Did the border guards embarrass you?"

Kara shook her head and said, "Not really. Although they went out to check on the situation as we passed by, they didn't embarrass us too much and still chose to let us go."

"But we've been watched by a lot of people. If I'm not mistaken, it's a sentinel sent by the Imperial City."

"After that war, the imperial capital sent people to Yalijiang Province many times to monitor our family's every move. Although a large part of them has been wiped out, it is impossible for us to find every eyeliner sent by New Delhi."

Ace nodded, "Indeed! The new king is justified in being cautious with you. Especially after the defeat of the Robert family, you will become the most prestigious nobles in the New Delhi Empire, and he will naturally protect you."

"Moreover, you have chosen the remote Yali River Province as a fief, which will make him even more worried. After all, the western part of Yalijiang Province is a sub-human grassland, and the western part of the sub-human grassland is an ancient forest."

"Considering the character of the new king, there will definitely be a fear that you will come into contact with the ancient elemental envoys. When the two sides cooperate, it will pose a great threat to his rule."

A hint of admiration appeared on Kara's beautiful face, "Your guess is basically accurate. As far as they knew now, the king was indeed worried. Besides, he suspects that your Monchi family is hiding in the Ancient Forest, so we can contact the Ancient Forest, which will pose a greater threat to him."

Ace smiled and said, "Then he doesn't have to worry. Because we didn't go to Terraria."

Kara looked around cautiously and lowered her voice, "Now we should be more careful about what we say. There may be guards sent by the New Delhi Empire nearby. This time, they may even send a magister, and even have the strength of a great mage."

Ace didn't care, he said, "Don't worry, there are no people from the Imperial City around. I can feel it."

Kara looked at Ace quizzically.

Ace smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have my own way."

Out of trust in Ace, Kara naturally stopped being anxious.

"On the way, I heard something. It seems that there are New Delhi raids and robberies in the subhuman steppe?" When Ace said this, everyone became serious.

Kara looked surprised and said, "How so? Our family members are very well-behaved and don't do anything out of the ordinary!"

At this point, Kara seemed to be thinking, "Are those sentinels following us?"

Ace couldn't help but ask, "Why are they doing this?" This is the question he has always been puzzled about.

Kara replied, "Perhaps they have discovered our true purpose and have deliberately provoked the wildlings to hate everyone in the New Delhi Empire. In this way, the development of our trade will be greatly affected!"

Ace is taken aback and thinks that Kara's guess might be true!

Because once the sub-people develop hatred and disgust for the New Delhi Empire, trade between the slimes and the main sub-tribes will encounter great obstacles in the future.

This dismantled the Slime Family's plans from another angle.

The more Ace thought about it, the more angry he became! It has to be said that this kind of plan is very effective.

"What do we do now?" Kara habitually looked at Ace, hoping he would come up with a solution.

Ace lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then said, "We must contact the other tribes as soon as possible to make them understand that we are not part of the same group as the New Delhi people who robbed them!" This is important because too many misunderstandings will inevitably lead to the total failure of our trade plan!"

Kara nodded, "So, how do we contact the other tribes?"

Ace quickly found Shaluye, the leader of the subhuman tribe, and explained the situation to him.

Sharouya was silent at first. After a long time, he said, "Our wild tribe is relatively small and does not have a good reputation in the grasslands that are hundreds of miles away. But I want to see if I can get in touch with the leaders of the surrounding tribes."
