"Oh, Constantine, my old fellow!"

An old man in a bearskin trench coat stood enthusiastically at the gate of the Ryan tribe, making a gesture of wanting to hug.

And just now, the middle-aged leader stood respectfully behind the old man, and took his beloved weapon, a huge two-handed axe, for the old man.

"Aha, Sunel!"

Konstantin Liso turned over and dismounted, put the reins in the hands of the captain behind him, and strode up to the old man, and the two of them came to an enthusiastic bear hug, and slapped each other hard behind the back.

"Are you all right, you old brown bear!" Konstantin smiled and pressed the old man's shoulder, the corners of his mouth grinning to both sides: "You're almost sixty years old, aren't you?!"

"It's no worse than you!" Sunel cocked his beard, revealing an angular muscle mass under his cloak, "Ryan's warrior, even the most terrible cold can't defeat him!"

"But without food, even the best warriors won't last long. Konstantin shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah, let's go to the house and talk about it!" Konstantin diverted the conversation and pointed to the carriage behind him, "I have brought some good wine, and I have come to have a drink with you!"

"Good wine?!"

Sunel's eyes lit up, and the old man immediately made a welcoming gesture behind him: "Then come, my friend, the barbecue and bread have been prepared for you at home!"

Konstantin smiled and nodded, made a gesture behind him, and the soldiers immediately pressed the carriage towards the gate.

"Come on, children, get out of the way, let your wives go back to the fire, set up the soup pot, our guests are coming!"

....................................

Ryan is a tribe, so it has all the best of all tribes. Of course, it also has the shortcomings of all the tribes.

At least, that's what Konstantin thought at the beginning.

Compared to what Konstantin had seen the last time he had been here, there was a marked change from the Ryan tribe now - a long, groomed road ran through the tribe, and more paths stretched out on both sides, and although they were not paved with stones or sleepers, they were at least the same size, and even a small wooden pillar stood there every other section - it seemed to be a signpost?

The cows and pigs that had been kept in the house were also taken outdoors and fenced on the side, and the women fed their livestock with a jar on the side.

As if it was the first time to come here, Konstantin browsed all this with curious eyes, and Sunel on the side glanced at his eyes intentionally or unintentionally, and after seeing Konstantin's surprised expression, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

"Gado, you've seen it, my son. Sunel said as he walked: "He has always been obsessed with you, and he reads the books you left for him several times a day. ”

"So. Konstantin pointed around: "These are these, his achievements?!"

"Of course!" Sunel puffed out his chest proudly and said proudly, "He did it." ”

At first, some people were unhappy, but they quickly changed their minds - because Gado told them how to make the animals fatter, and he also built roads in the tribe and had them signposted. Sunel smiled: "He did a lot of things outside of custom, but now everyone believes that it is good for everyone!"

"Fix the roads so that the traffic is smoother. ”

Konstantin said casually.

"Oh yes, that's what this kid said!" the old man nodded, "He's also going to build roads throughout Ryan!"

"This boy was the best warrior of their generation, and now he is the wisest young man. Sunel was full of emotion and patted Konstantin on the back hard: "You have given me the most haode heir, my old man!"

"Just did what was supposed to be done. The commander smiled nonchalantly.

"We are friends, so Ryan and Roma are also friends, allies who help each other. Konstantin looked at Sunel seriously: "So I hope this friendship can last longer." ”

"Of course, the Ryan will never forget the one who extended the hand of friendship!" Sunel solemnly clenched his right hand and shook it hard.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Sunel's house was the largest in the entire Ryan tribe - there was no doubt about it, and it was designed in the usual simplicity of the Highlanders, with a spacious hall and a neat bedroom.

In the center of the hall was a large iron grill with oily ......beef rattling and a cask of open wine beside it, reflecting the glow of a bright fire in the purple-red wine.

"So, what are the falcons of the south doing in my old bear's house?" Sunel munched on the beef, holding a large wine glass in his hand, and his eyes never took off Konstantin: "Since you are friends, don't take care of it, what do you say, I don't believe that you came to drink with me!"

"Well, of course!" Konstantin swallowed the roasted crispy piece of meat into his stomach and wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "There is a group of people who robbed our caravan, robbed everything, did not even leave a single piece of clothing, and took several hostages. ”

"The Misty Mountain People?"

"It was the Highlanders who did it. Konstantin knocked on the table: "And it's on your territory, so I made a special trip to find you and have a drink by the way." ”

"It can't be. The old man shook his head: "My children know you, they won't rob a friend's caravan, I swear by this!"

"I know, you can't do this. Konstantin smiled: "Because you won't go specifically to rob the goods you ordered, not to mention that you have even paid for it." ”

"I won't do this when someone else orders!" Sunel frowned, "That's what you're here for?"

"When I came, I took a warrior under you. Konstantin drank his wine and muttered as if he were chatting: "His tribe has also been robbed, and its seeds and prey have been robbed. ”

"So I thought, are you having a feud with some other tribe?"

"Feud?" Sunel shook his head: "I only have a grudge against the people of the Misty Mountains, and it is a blood feud. My father and two uncles died at their hands!"

"Sometimes, hatred is not necessarily due to death or a loved one being hurt or insulted, but there are many reasons for revenge. Konstantin carefully pinched a piece of beef, shook it in front of Sunel's eyes, and then threw it into his mouth, chewing it in a big gulp: "In this way, you can also make a feud." ”

The old man still didn't believe it, and shook his head: "Highlanders wouldn't do that!"

"It's some people who do that!" Konstantin grinned: "Wealth and food will always be things that are difficult to give up." ”

"I want to know, how did the Ryan tribe trade with the outside world in the past, and who did they trade with?"

"Before, then............" the old man could not help but think back to the past: "In those days, the merchants of the south would come from the west, and take away haode furs from us, and exchange many good things, wine, pepper, and other things. ”

"Of course, now you're all coming by boat. Sunel smiled and took a long sip of wine and licked his lips: "Things are cheaper, and I can sell more." Everyone's life is much better. ”

"So, they used to pass through other tribes?" Konstantin said thoughtfully.

"Well, probably only Szdver. The old man seemed to notice something, too: "That's the only big tribe they will pass by." ”

"I know what you're trying to say, Konstantin!" the old man knocked on the table and looked at him with a calm look, "But that old thing in Szdford once saved my life, he saved mine!

"Well, I believe. Konstantin nodded, did not speak, and gulped down his wine.

"Mr. Konstantin!"

A young man in a thick leather robe walked in from the outside and looked at Konstantin who was drinking in surprise: "I saw your soldiers outside just now, are you here to find my father?"

"Ah, yes, I'm here to have a drink with this old bear!" Konstantin smiled and pointed to Sunel, who was sitting opposite: "Gado!"

The young man took off his coat, sat down and took a cup, unceremoniously scooped a full glass, took two pieces of billowing beef from the grill, tore them and ate them.

"So, Sunel, have you thought about it, old bear?" Constantine said with a smile, "We must catch this gang of robbers as soon as possible! They will not be too numerous, but the impact will be too bad, and they will make the merchants of Rome dare not come to Ryan to do business easily." ”

"Then what do you say?" The old man shook his beard, and both eyebrows were about to stand up: "Where are we going to catch them?!"

"Hah!" Konstantin smiled and patted the young man next to him on the shoulder: "Gado, let me ask you, how do you usually hunt?"

"This ............" the young man grinned a little shyly: "Of course, you must prepare the bait first, and then wait patiently on the path of the prey, if it is a big prey, you must bring a few more people!"

"It seems that you have a lot of experience. Konstantin praised him a few words, then turned his gaze back to Sunel: "You have a good son!"

"Do you really think they're going to take the bait?"

"Perhaps!" Konstantin smiled and put his arm around the young man's shoulder: "Come! Gado, do you want to come with me?!"

"What are you going to catch?!" Gardo looked excited: "Is it a fox or a bear?!"

"It's much more exciting than that!" the corners of the commander's mouth rose, "Trust me, it's going to be a pleasant hunt!"
