Chapter 276

Therefore, the trading venues were gradually transferred to the temporary camps of the caravans——Gain, there was no other safe trading place outside the village.However, there are also risks in trading in the temporary camp of the caravan: if the villagers are prohibited from carrying weapons, then who can guarantee that the caravan is not also engaged in the business of catching slaves?How would caravans be less likely to be robbed if villagers were not prohibited from carrying weapons?

Under this crisis of trust, some caravan came up with a compromise: the caravan’s temporary camp was used as a trading place; customers entering the temporary camp did not carry weapons; the caravan sent people to the village as hostages.

This method spread quickly, and serious businessmen liked this method because it could ensure the safety of the caravan.The other party to the transaction is also satisfied with this transaction method, because it is impossible for any member of the caravan that also operates as a slave hunter to voluntarily serve as a hostage.

In fact, the reason why the caravan leader, the bannerman, and another person came towards the gate was actually to serve as hostages.Although many transactions have established a certain foundation of trust between the two parties, business is business. In the last days, you cannot guarantee that a person blinded by greed will do something, so it is best to follow the rules.

Of course, the difference in the degree of trust will lead to differences in the treatment of hostages after all. The leader of the "Dust Footboard" caravan and others were not put under house arrest after their weapons were confiscated, but they were guests at the village chief's house like guests.When eating, the village chief's family and the guests will be in a very good mood.

The reason why the village chief's family is happy is that the guests always bring wine made from grain as gifts.You must know that Nine-headed Bird Village is only two hundred kilometers away from the Arctic Ocean, and it is very cold most of the time, which leads to the people in the wasteland to have an unusual love for spirits.However, due to the limitation of natural conditions, it is very enviable to be able to drink a sip of wine made from wild fruits every now and then in the wasteland.And grain wine definitely belongs to the category of luxury in the wasteland.

The reason why the guests are happy is that they can finally no longer have to eat hard dry food.After all, it is not easy for caravans to eat hot meals during long journeys.

Before the dinner began, the stranger among the guests, who was neither the leader nor the banner bearer, suddenly said to the village chief: "Is there someone like Luo Dayou in your village? You call him and his mother, and I have something to say to them." explain."

There was a sense of domineering in the stranger's tone.

The village chief was stunned. He knew that the caravan was composed of "brothers", and it was the pledge of loyalty that bound them together.Although when distributing profits, caravan leaders can get two shares, key members such as flag bearers can get one and a half shares, and ordinary caravan members can only get one share, but caravan members actually have no identity among themselves of superiority and inferiority.It's really strange, why does this stranger have a kind of arrogance indistinctly soaked in his bones?
Although he didn't understand the reason, the village chief replied, "Luo Dayou's mother passed away eight years ago."

The stranger gave an indifferent "Oh". "Then call Luo Dayou over."

The village chief agreed, and then sent someone to call Luo Dayou.While waiting, the village chief's eyes always glanced at the stranger from time to time.

The stranger has a strange appearance.His hair, beard, and eyebrows are all snow-white, which is the characteristic of an old man.However, his skin is rosy and full of elasticity, not dry and wrinkled like other old people, and he also has good teeth.Therefore, it is difficult for the village chief to guess what age this person is based on his appearance alone.

In addition, the stranger's air of superiority is also very puzzling.Compared to other villagers in Nine-headed Niao Village, the village chief is well-informed.When he was young, he also worked hard in the outside world with great ambition.According to the village chief's understanding, there are only two kinds of people in the last days who have that superior demeanor.

The first type of person is a superior person who can decide the life and death of others with a single thought.But this kind of person will generally not leave his territory—if he leaves his territory for some reason, then he will not show his arrogance.Otherwise, if others don't buy it, then arrogance will most likely bring him trouble.Therefore, there is a saying in the last days: A king who leaves his country is not a king.

The second type of person is a martial artist.During his travels, the village chief had the honor to meet several martial arts experts.In the Nurba Republic, a real strong man left the deepest impression on the village chief.

The Nurba Republic is one of the seven heroes of the Yakutia Wasteland. The population of the capital Nurba City alone is close to [-], which is almost equal to the entire population of the Kingdom of Alegre to which the Nine-headed Bird Village belongs.The mighty Nurba Republic is governed by nine clans. It is conceivable how noble these nine clans are in the Nurba Republic.

That time the village chief happened to arrive in Nurba City with his companions.No sooner had they entered the city than they saw a dispute.The village chief didn't know the cause and effect of the dispute. He only knew that there was a huge disparity in the number of the two parties. One party had as many as 40 to [-] people, while the other party was alone.What surprised the village chief was that although there was a huge difference in the number of people on both sides, both sides in the dispute had the kind of arrogant attitude of "everything is under control, and the other party is too ignorant".Afterwards, the village chief learned that the party with the most people was one of the nine great powers of the Nurba Republic.

Perhaps it was because words alone could not gain the upper hand, and a few people with weapons poured out from the side with more people, apparently intending to end the dispute with body language.However, the result surprised everyone.The party with a large number of people lay down more than a dozen within a minute, while the single-handed strong man only suffered a few minor injuries.The side with more people was terrified, and those who were still standing all lost the courage to continue attacking, and hurriedly surrounded their leader and kept retreating.

That conflict left a deep impression on the village chief.Afterwards, the village chief recalled that if the strong man wanted to kill the person who had conflicted with him, even if the other party was one of the nine rulers of the Nurba Republic, it seemed that it would not be difficult.

Pulling his thoughts from memory to reality, the village chief glanced at the stranger, and after ruling out the possibility that the other party's thinking was abnormal, the only answer was ready to come out.

Thinking of this, the village chief's attitude couldn't help being somewhat respectful.In order to be more sure, he couldn't help asking the leader of the caravan on the sidelines.

"May I ask who this person is..."

The caravan leader formally introduces the identity of the stranger.

"This one is a warrior who came to practice in the wasteland."

The village head showed surprise just right.
