Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords.

Chapter 96 Secret
After the caravan left, the lord and his men took a walk around where they stayed.

Looking at the grass that was run over by the wheels, leaving two deep grooves, Levi stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Generally speaking, the goods that caravans trade in the wilderness are mostly salt, tea... these scarce goods in the wilderness.

But even if these goods filled an entire carriage, they were still not heavy enough, and the wheels were almost sinking into the ground.

"It's very strange. Although I don't know what Miriel and his tribe traded with an elf tribe last time, it obviously couldn't be salt or something like that. The elves don't lack these." Levi patted his hands that were measuring the depth of the pit and stood up from the ground: "This time, not only are there two horses pulling a cart, but there are also dozens of elite half-elf archers, and even the number of guard mercenaries has increased to eighty."

"There must be a bigger secret hidden in this." The lord concluded.

"No matter what secrets he has, I'll take some masked men to kill him and we'll know everything."

Zat made a gesture of wiping his neck viciously.

Levi glanced at Zat.

Call this thing stupid, it knows to wear a mask to hide its identity, but it's the same whether it's covered or not.

Looking at their big and strong size, everyone knows that only Gaoyabao can keep them so green and plump.

When I first met Zat, he was quite rough but meticulous. However, ever since he became a disciple of Gaoya Castle, he has become more and more like a reckless man. Whenever he is in doubt, he just wants to act recklessly. I don't know who learned this from.

Hogg, who was following beside, was full of energy. As long as Levi gave the order, he could use wolf howls to summon the werewolf cavalry, chase them and entangle the caravan.

Levi felt that it was necessary to teach these two reckless men a lesson, and said as he walked towards the Lord's Hall: "We are civilized people, don't just think of using knives. People who don't know would think that we are some evil force in Gaoya Castle."

"Besides, everyone has their own secrets. We just need to know that no matter what the Mithril Caravan is transporting, it will not pose a threat to us. There is no need to delve into it."

Zat hid his face in the shadows and curled his lips secretly. He was afraid that even his own lord would not believe what he said.

Otherwise, why would he rush here with people to try to find some clues as soon as the caravan left?

Hogg seemed to be thinking about something.

After the expansion, the lord's hall can now accommodate thirty or forty people, with a long table in the middle.

It can be used as a daily dining hall for the senior officials of Highcliff Castle, and can also be used as a meeting room. Sam, Beristina and two wilderness natives are staying in it.

Some time ago, Sam was sent out to find tribes to establish arms trade with Highcliff Castle. The lord's requirement was that these tribes must be rich and it would be best if they did not get along with each other.

At first glance, the lord has a smile full of joy, just like seeing the pigs growing fat and white during the Chinese New Year.

One of the natives was a skinny old man from the north. The only two teeth in his leaky mouth were wrapped in gold nuggets, revealing his nouveau riche air.

He was obviously very proud of his two golden teeth. When he opened his mouth, saliva flew everywhere, revealing the two gold teeth completely.

The other one surprised Levi a little. He was a lizardman warrior with two blades as tall as a horse, muscular, and red scales. He was spitting out his tongue all the time.

His expression showed disgust towards the old human man next to him, and it was obvious that the two of them did not have a good relationship.

"That's impossible, your price is too high!"

As soon as he walked in, the little old man with gold teeth slammed the table with a distorted face.

Beristina, who was acting as the negotiator, just smiled calmly. The two orc barbarians walked up eagerly. Seeing the shaking pectoral muscles, the old man sat down awkwardly. "Although the weapons you sell are all iron, the price of two animal skins for a spear is too harsh. Even if Debe's spear is converted into gold, it is just an animal skin, not to mention that your weapons are not as good as Debe's." Bem argued.

He is the old chief of the Windsurge Tribe. It was only at the strong recommendation of his "old friend" Sam that he brought his men to Highcliff Castle to find out what was going on, half-believing and half-doubting.

When he saw the blast furnaces standing by the river in Gaoyabao, he finally believed it and rushed over in a hurry.

The temptation to sell ironware was so great that he subconsciously ignored the possible conspiracies involved.

Even the guards were left waiting at the foot of the hill.

"The goods in Derby are good, but why don't the people of Derby sell weapons to you locals? Everyone knows that Derby has a rule that forbids the sale of weapons to the wilderness." Levi sat down next to Beristina and sneered, "If you don't buy, there are plenty of people who will. You have to understand, I'm not begging you to buy my weapons, but you're begging me to sell you weapons."

"Sir, I risked my head to sell you weapons. It would be fine if you are not grateful, but you actually complain that they are too expensive."

"If you don't want to buy it, get out!"

"Sir!" Bem's lips trembled when he heard this.

Because what Levi said was absolutely correct, iron tools were scarce in the wilderness, and Debe strictly prohibited the trade of weapons to the wilderness. It could be said that this pioneer lord was the only one who could sell weapons in large quantities at present.

What he said before was just an excuse to lower the price, but he didn't expect that this pioneer lord would be so tough.

"I can accept this price, and even add a little more, but I can't sell him the weapons."

The lizardman warrior who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, pointing his slender claws at Bem beside him.

"You can't sell your mother, Alexi, fuck me."

Bem was so angry that his nose was crooked. He cursed loudly: "I was wondering why you, a stinking lizard man, appeared here. So you want to buy weapons to attack our Fengyong tribe, right?"

"I tell you, it's impossible!"

Levi watched the two people fighting with a smile.

Sam had specially invited these two people.

Bem is the old chief of the Wind Surge tribe, and Alexi is a lizardman warrior sent by the At Lizardman tribe.

The two tribes were located in the Blackwood Forest in the northwest. Because their territories were adjacent, bloody conflicts often occurred in order to grab more resources, so their relationship was naturally strained.

"Sir, our Windsurge Tribe is willing to accept the price you just discussed."

Alexi's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Bem made a decision instantly.

If this lizardman were allowed to buy the weapons from Highcliff Castle, he would definitely attack the Windsurge Tribe, and they would suffer a great loss due to their backward weapons.

Bem would not stand by and watch this happen.

"Haha, you didn't agree to the price I gave you just now. Sorry, the price has increased now. If you want to buy weapons from me, you have to pay 30% more."

Levi picked up the teacup slowly and took a sip, smiling.
