Whoosh!
The curtain of the tent was forcefully pulled open by someone, and then a figure rushed in from outside. The foreign affairs elder couldn't help but frown. He knew that it must be Beta who came in. Except for Beta, no one dared to break into his tent. He put down the pen in his hand and looked up at Beta.
Seeing this, the elder couldn't help but stare. This was because Beta was currently holding a bag of grain, looking at him with an excited expression. The elder knit his brows and said, "Beta, what's the matter?"
Beta took a few breaths, then he put down the grain bag in his hand and looked at the Elder with an excited expression. He slowly opened the grain bag and poured the bamboo rice on the ground.
The elder had been watching Bei Ta's movements, and then his eyes were attracted by the bamboo rice on the ground. This was the best bamboo rice he had ever seen in his life. He couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and walked to the bamboo rice. He grabbed a handful with his hand, put it in his mouth, and gently chewed.
Good rice! The Elder looked up at Beta and said, "Is this Zhao Hai's rice?"
Beta nodded, the Elder asked, "Are they all the same?" Beta nodded again. The Elder immediately said, "Go and ask Zhao Hai to come." Beta didn't say anything, he just turned around and ran out.
The Elder slowly sat down, but his eyes never left the bamboo rice on the ground. He had never seen such good rice in his life. If Zhao Hai took out this kind of rice, then not to mention half price, even if it was twice the price, he would still be willing to buy it.
Before long, footsteps could be heard outside the tent, then Beta and Zhao Hai walked in. This time, the Elder was very polite, he stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai, "Welcome Mister. Mister, please take a seat." Zhao Hai didn't dare to be arrogant, so he quickly returned the greeting. Then he went to the Elder's right side and sat down.
Humans respect the left side, so Zhao Hai sitting on the right side was a sign of modesty. This was the reason why the Elder had a good impression of him. After Zhao Hai sat down, the Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, "For Mister to send us such high quality food, I really can't thank you enough."
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "The Elder is too polite. To be able to enter the Elder's eyes is Zhao Hai's honor."
The Elder didn't care about Zhao Hai's modesty, he just looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, why did you sell such good food to us at such a low price? Mister, please explain. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. There are actually two reasons for this. First, it's because the food is produced in my territory, so the cost is very low. Second, I just came to the Prairie, so I need to open up the market. Because of this, the price of the food is very low. Naturally, this doesn't mean that I will raise the price in the future. Elder can rest assured that the price of my food will not change."
The Elder looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, Zhao Hai's words were reasonable. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "How much food can Mister transport to our tribe this year?"
Zhao frowned. "Only about fifteen million catties. Right now, my transportation capacity is limited, and I can only trade for a month at most. After a month, it will be winter, and I will have to return to my territory, so I won't be able to transport food here."
The Elder nodded in understanding. After all, humans will return to their own territory, so it's impossible for them to spend the winter with the beastmen. They won't be used to that kind of lifestyle. However, 15 million jin of food isn't a small amount.
Zhao Hai looked at the Elder and faintly smiled, "Elder, I don't know if I can have the honor of seeing West Wonder King? Can we talk about next year's cooperation? "
The Elder froze for a moment, then he thought for a moment and said, "I can't make this decision. I will report it to the Prince and give you an answer tomorrow."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked at the Elder and said, "There's another thing I need to discuss with the Elder. Now that my grain team has finished unloading, I will be leaving soon. Can you give me the first batch of grain? This way, I won't have to transport those things back in the future. "
The Elder froze for a moment, then he nodded and said, "This is not a problem, but we haven't prepared these things yet. You will have to wait for a day. What does Mister want? Do you want argali? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No, actually I want to talk to the Elder about this matter. My family has several elders, they are alchemists and pharmacists. You know that people like them like to collect special things, so I want some special magic beasts and plants. If it's a magic beast unique to your tribe, then that would be even better. Of course, argali and wool products are also fine, the Elder can do as he sees fit."
The Elder didn't think that Zhao Hai would have such a special request. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister's meaning is that if we use our tribe's fighting bulls to exchange for food, you will pay a high price? What about the spirit beasts? "
Zhao Hai quickly said, "The same, I can also pay a high price. Elder can rest assured, but I can't ask for too much of these two kinds of magic beasts. After all, I'm afraid that I won't be able to raise them."
The Elder agreed with Zhao Hai's statement, he nodded and said, "How about this, I can give you ten of our tribe's fighting bulls as well as ten Berserk Blood Bulls. I hope that Mister can exchange them for ten thousand jin of grain per bull. As for the rest, I can use argali and wool blankets to make up for it. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "That's not a problem. Ten fighting bulls and ten Berserk Blood Bulls, I can waive two hundred thousand jin of grain. That leaves two hundred and eight hundred thousand jin of grain. Two hundred and eight hundred thousand jin of grain can be exchanged for argali for one thousand four hundred head. How about this, I want one thousand argali and six hundred wool blankets. If you have any rare plants, then this number can be lowered. What do you think?"
The Elder nodded and said, "Very fair, I agree. Tomorrow, Mister can get what you want. Right now, we don't have time to collect magic beasts and plants for Mister. Time is too short, and it's almost winter. A lot of plants will wither, we can only wait for next year."
Zhao Hai faintly smiled and said, "That's nothing, the Elder can collect them in the next few days. In a few days, my second batch of grain will arrive. When that time comes, we can carry out the transaction. I'm not afraid of plants that have just withered, as long as they haven't withered for too long, it's best if they don't wither for more than a month."
The Elder nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do our best. Mister, please go back. If His Majesty West Wonder King wants to see Mister tomorrow, I'll inform Mister." Zhao Hai thanked the Elder and turned to leave.
Seeing Zhao Hai leave, Beta couldn't help but ask the Elder, "Elder, why did you give our tribe's spirit beasts and spirit beasts to him? What if he really manages to figure out something? "
The Elder faintly smiled and said, "He won't. Rest assured, the human race has been researching spirit beasts for many years. What have they researched? Do you think that if we don't give them, they won't be able to get their hands on spirit beasts? There are many greedy people out there, so why don't we use spirit beasts to exchange for more food? "
Beta nodded and didn't say anything. The Elder turned to Beta and said, "You go and have the clansmen collect as many strange plants as possible. If anyone can hunt some strange spirit beasts, that's fine too. But remember, they must be alive." Beta complied and turned to leave.
Zhao Hai walked towards his tent while thinking about his conversation with the Elder. Fortunately, there weren't any flaws, he was just like an ordinary human merchant.
He deliberately asked the Elder for the spirit beasts because he was very clear that he couldn't be too low-key. A human merchant couldn't be too low-key in the beastmen territory. In this special period, he couldn't be too low-key. Otherwise, it would arouse the other side's suspicion. This was because in people's impression, spies were very low-key. If they didn't cause trouble, then they wouldn't cause any trouble. On the contrary, if you were high-profile, then no one would suspect you.
Although Zhao Hai wouldn't be too high-profile, he couldn't be too high-profile. Therefore, he asked the Elder for some special spirit beasts and plants. This was actually a high-profile behavior. At the same time, he also revealed a message to the Elder, "I can't get these things anywhere else."
Zhao Hai was very clear that West Wonder King wasn't afraid of Wales the most. In their view, the Herculean Bulls had been driven away, and Wales' influence was weak. At this time, he didn't even dare to return to the bull-headed territory. What was there to be afraid of? What they were afraid of was the Fighting Bull Patriarch who had a grudge against them.
Zhao Hai wanted to pass a message to the Fighting Bulls and Berserk Blood Bulls, that he had nothing to do with the Fighting Bull clan's patriarch.
Strictly speaking, West Wonder King was also a branch of the Fighting Bull Clan. Therefore, the spirit beasts they used were the same as the Fighting Bull Patriarch's. Their spirit beasts were Fighting Bulls. These Fighting Bulls had short black hair all over their body. They had a very violent temperament and were about three meters tall. They couldn't use any magic, but their strength was very great. Among the bull type spirit beasts, they were ranked in the top ten. Moreover, they had a very special ability, Fury!
Fury was also a very peculiar ability, because once they were enraged, their strength and defensive capabilities would be greatly enhanced. Moreover, regardless of the level of the spirit beast, they would still dare to charge, which made them stronger than most spirit beasts.
The ranks of magic beasts were very strict. For example, fighting bulls could only be regarded as 6th rank magic beasts. Generally, if a 6th rank magic beast were to see an 8th rank magic beast, then they would be scared stiff, allowing the 8th rank magic beast to slaughter them. However, fighting bulls were different, they weren't afraid. Whether it was 8th rank or 9th rank magic beasts, as long as the fighting bulls were in a state of rage, then they would take the initiative to attack.
The Wild Blood Bull was a type of dark blood spirit beast. It was only level 5 and could use simple blood magic. However, this type of spirit beast was the most suitable for the Fighting Bull Clan.
The Wild Blood Bull actually shouldn't be called this name, because it could use two types of blood magic. One was Rapid Recovery, and the other was Absolute Gloom.
These two types of magic belonged to the category of auxiliary magic. Rapid Recovery allowed one's injuries to recover at a speed that was several times or even dozens of times faster than normal. Absolute Gloom, on the other hand, was a type of spiritual-type black magic. Once this type of magic was used, it would allow one to become absolutely rational, just like a robot that did not know what it meant to be angry.
These two types of magic were the most suitable for the Fighting Bull Clan. The Fighting Bull Clan had a violent temper, if there was a disagreement, they would start a fight. Their mounts were the same, once they used the Fury skill, they would completely enter a state of fury. Regardless of good or bad, regardless of friend or foe, they would only know how to charge, which was very frightening on the battlefield.
The Wild Blood Bull's two skills could suppress this state of fury. When the Fighting Bulls absorbed the Wild Blood Bull's beast soul, they would practice their beast soul skills. Their beast soul skills would have two very special abilities, one was to quickly heal their injuries, and the second was to keep them in a calm state. Not only them, but their mounts were also the same.
The reason why the Berserk Blood Bulls were given this name was because their entire body was blood red. Their eyes were usually black and white, but when it came to battle, they would turn blood red, just like when a person became furious. That was why they were given such a name.
The Fighting Bull Clan could only be regarded as an ordinary race among the bull-headed race. Because their temper was too bad and their mounts were not very obedient, once they were in a state of fury, they would not be able to differentiate between friend and foe, so they were not very popular among the bull-headed race.
Later, after dozens of generations of hard work, they finally found the Wild Blood Bull, which was the most suitable soul beast for them. This made their fighting strength increase exponentially, and now they were known as a powerful race among the bull-headed race.
For many years, the human race had alchemists and pharmacists studying the beastmen's soul beasts and their relatives. They wanted to find a way to crack the mystery of how the beastmen obtained this mysterious power, but they never succeeded. The beastmen were still using their soul beasts, while the humans were still using their Dou Qi.
The humans had been drooling over these two abilities of the beastmen for a long time. If they knew why the beastmen had their relatives, the might of the human cavalry would greatly increase. If they knew about the beastmen's soul beasts, the fighting strength of the human race would also greatly increase. Unfortunately, as the beastmen said, these two abilities were given to them by the Beast God. Besides the beastmen, other races had no way to use them.
Zhao Hai also knew that some human merchants would spend a lot of money to buy some beastmen's unique magic beasts, and then transport them back to the human domain for research. Unfortunately, most of these magic beasts eventually died of illness, and even if they didn't die, the humans had no way to study them.
It was because he knew this that Zhao Hai proposed to the elder to buy the Fighting Bulls and the Wild Blood Bulls. He knew that the elder would certainly sell them, and it would also eliminate the elder's vigilance. With so many benefits, he was happy.
