Chapter 4 Impressions in the Eyes of Outsiders

Lawrence didn't have to wait long, and while he was leading the people to build a blast furnace at Andrew's house, the people from the mountain came up to report the news.

Another merchant is coming! And brought wheat and female slaves!

The matter of exchanging wheat and women for three pairs of ivory chess cards has made many businessmen have the illusion that this place is an extremely backward and barbaric and ignorant area, and it is easy to exchange lowly wheat and women for hundreds of times higher profits!

During this period, some nobles had an astonishing wealth reserve, relying on years of plunder and encroachment, and their estates were piled up with endless food and slaves to live in.

Ordinary barbarians can plunder a year's worth of food and surplus wealth, not to mention rulers and organizers.

The barbarians basically do not farm, so the food famine has little to do with them, as long as they can rob, the higher the grain rises, the better it is for them.

Material needs are satisfied, and what is urgently needed is naturally spiritual needs.

Not all barbarians believed in their backward gods, believing that dying in battle was a glory and that they could go to heaven with the company of the goddess.

The real nobles don't believe this, Lawrence has a strong aristocratic blood, and like the earl, duke and king, they will not accept the invitation of some people.

No one had ever seen a god, so slowly no one believed some of the claims.

The barbarian kingdom is destined to be corrupted by the ideas of the Western and Southern Kingdoms, and when the barbarians step into a comfortable environment, they must passively accept the rules of this area.

The ability to sit down and simply play a game soon spread among the upper class aristocrats and the middle and lower class aristocrats who were wealthy enough to have enough time to drink and have fun.

And in this atmosphere, it is naturally a very important thing for the host to come up with a deck of cards that is as beautiful as a work of art for the entertainment of the invited guests.

When Lawrence thought it was also a family caravan, he received a very unexpected news.

"Forty people are here this time! They rode wild boars bigger than domes, all dressed in leather armor, armed with knives and axes! ”

Forty people......

Lawrence felt very difficult to deal with, and didn't even want to do this business.

"Let Delenn, Saliel, and Kehalan come down, call down all the men in the lumberyard, and bring their weapons! The women also shouted down a few, the trained kind! ”

Lawrence quickly called people, feeling uneasy, and went up the mountain to order people by himself, and at the same time prepared supplies that could be traded.

I used to beat kittens and puppies all the time, like the Ug and the Kur.

The strength of Pig's Trotter City is very strong, with many strong thugs and elites.

If you encounter the other party's regular army, you won't be able to see this person in your own hands at all.

Lawrence was very worried about these things, and he felt extremely worried when he thought about the comparison between these country warriors in his hands and those knights of the kingdom.

In this era, as long as the regular army gathered more than 100 people, it was completely possible to chase after the peasant soldiers of several thousand people.

What's more, there are also extraordinary powers in this world, and there may be knights, berserkers, wizards, magicians and other powerful combat units.

When Lawrence, who looked entangled and frightened, led thirty people down the mountain, he soon met forty people on the opposite side outside the town of Phumesius.

When the two sides were three hundred meters away, they were looking at each other's lineups.

The distance of three hundred meters is not close, especially when the height of the two sides is about the same, and only vague figures can be seen from a distance.

In other words, when you see the other from one end of the shopping street, a normal person's vision is actually blurred from 60 meters away.

Knight Volkan looked at the group that was gradually approaching in the distance, and those people were honestly following behind the man in the lead, maintaining the formation of the group even when walking.

Unlike the loose peasants and improvised robbers, these men all had domes as mounts, which were much more formal than the peasants they encountered along the way.

The barbarians behind him, who had been waiting anxiously, also gradually stood up and gathered together to look at the people on the other side.

A complete cavalry team!!

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Ten meters!

Five meters!

When the two sides were five meters apart, many people could see the faces and weapons of those people clearly.

Volkan looked at the group, and the leader was a young man, he was wearing a cloak made of crow feathers, the black feathers stood at the neckline and shoulders like a lion's mane, and the black mantle underneath the crow feathers, which had a peculiar temperament under the summer wind.

He looks very young, but Wolf believes that the other party is not a good person!

Behind him, on the side, was a one-armed man with the impression of a strong man, his arm was not a simple palm, but a sharp knife that shone with a cold light.

On the other side stood a man of sturdy physique, riding a stronger moose, with an iron shield on the side of the moose, and an axe in the other, and when he looked at himself, there was only scrutiny, no fear.

In addition to these, Volkan noticed the men behind these men.

The men on the sheep were watching them, and Volkan's eyes took a quick look at the bodies.

All of them appeared to be extremely healthy, especially the obvious scars on the positions of their hands, which looked like warriors who often held weapons.

"I am Viscount Volkan Chili from Tranda Hoof, and I have come to exchange goods on the orders of the Duke."

When Lawrence heard the other man's last name, he remembered that it seemed to be a rumored fierce man who killed six men.

The other party is a nobleman of Pigtrotter City, and Lawrence was also a native of Pigtrotter City before, and was one of the many sons of the baron.

In the face of this noble knight, Lawrence remained calm and said: "I am the Raven Feather Prophet here, if you are here to exchange dominoes, then unfortunately, I only have three decks of playing cards made of large boar teeth, and they have been handed over to the friend who traded with me at the beginning." ”

Volkan breathed a sigh of relief, and was much more relieved to see that these barbarians had no malicious intentions and no intention of robbing.

It is rumored that these barbarians in the mountains and forests in the north are unable to communicate, and they are particularly fond of robbery, cannibalism and sacrifice.

Pig's Trotter City also has these things, but Volkan is a nobleman in Pig's Trotter City, and is only a guest here.

"It's a pity, but I'm not only here for the domino thing, but also for a lot of Orunzhi powder."

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, a basket of wheat can be exchanged for a can of medicinal powder." ”

Walkan was quick to say, "I brought grain, slaves, salt, and amber. ”

Lawrence was speechless for a while, did these people think of themselves as primitives here?

Salt...... I can't finish the salt here!

Lawrence said calmly, "Ravens do like shiny things, but as a prophet, I don't like to collect those things, I don't need amber. ”

"Then you must need slaves!" When Volkan heard this, he decided to keep the amber for himself, how nice this thing was.

Lawrence quickly got off the sheep's back, and in a few words he felt that these people had no intention of fighting.

"Yes, but preferably male slaves."

Walkan brought ten slaves, both men and women, all of whom looked very thin and thin.

Lawrence said, "A slave is counted as twice as much wheat, four baskets of wheat for an adult, and two baskets for a child." ”

"Yes." Wolf happily agreed.

Lawrence took out the three snowy mountain wildcats he had prepared.

"This is the wild cat I caught in the mountains, and I don't need this animal in my mountains, and I'm going to exchange it for iron tools and mounts."

Volkan looked at the three bobcats in the basket, this thing is indeed liked by nobles, but it is not easy to raise, and it is easy to die.

"I can only give the price of a slave, these little ones don't look healthy."

Lawrence said, "Your slaves don't look healthy either, and crows are birds that can smell death." ”

Volkan took the initiative and said, "Two slaves! ”

"Good!" Lawrence accepted the price.

Walkan quickly took in the three little bobcats, feeling that the fur of the three bobcats could be made into fur handkerchiefs that noblewomen liked, or trouser pads for aristocratic men.

In addition to orange peels, Lawrence exchanged wigs and playing cards.

To Lawrence's surprise, playing cards were also sold a lot.

If you think about it carefully, you will find that this poker card is not unsellable, but it cannot be sold at a high price.

Although many people can copy this thing, it is a test of skill when making it, and it requires special wood.

The wood near the big city is all the lord's!!

Of course, it's no problem to make one or two sets by yourself, but if you have more, you need wood of the same color and texture.

There were not many craftsmen in the kingdom of Loven, and most of the time they were produced and sold on various estates.

Because of this relationship, most of the nobles have endless money in their hands.

During this period, the pirates had already completed the accumulation of the first pot of gold, and most of these funds existed in the form of food and population, which would be quickly depleted due to time.

Therefore, many nobles will develop towards the south, where there is a lack of suitable land and cannot accommodate too many people.

Lawrence was much happier when he discovered that playing cards could continue to exist as a commodity.

Volkan quickly left with the men, their car loaded with powder and some mess.

On the way back, Walkan's servant said, "Viscount, it is rumored that there are not many people there, and they are all women. ”

Volkan shook his head, "Rumor has it that in addition to the Prophet, there are poisonous witches and berserkers, I have seen the Berserkers from the town of Phumesius, I heard of the existence of witches here when I was a child, and now I have met the Prophet again. ”

Berserkers are real, and witches are real, Prophet...... Everyone thinks that the prophet is also true.
