When Suhlen came back, he saw a group of Centaur warriors. They were all equipped with spears and bows. They were tall and strong, and they were even stronger than the Barbarians that Suhlen saw the first time.
It was clear that the Centaur tribe valued Suhlen very much. No, it should be said that they valued this trade very much.
Chris had already arranged for people to prepare a sumptuous meal. Because it was noon, there were many fruits and all kinds of meat on the table. The chefs had also specially roasted a whole lamb with some cumin sprinkled on it. The smell of it was very appetizing.
Suhlen also asked people to prepare desserts and ice cream. He also prepared 2 bottles of high quality rum. Because of the Centaurs' body structure, Suhlen did not prepare chairs for them. Instead, he prepared thick and soft cushions. The two Centaurs were very satisfied with this arrangement.
"Hello, Human Lord. I am Mishien from the Samar Centaur tribe. This is my brother Kane." Suhlen did not expect the Centaur tribe's messenger to be led by Mishien, a female Centaur.
Mishien was very interested in this Human Lord. When she entered the town, she saw the Ogre Wizard's head and Cryopterus' head hanging on the city wall. The Centaurs were very clear about the strength of the Ogre tribe, and the Cryopterus' head made her turn pale with fright.
The powerful Cryopterus had the ability to fly. Not many people in this wasteland were willing to provoke them. Now that their heads were hanging on the city wall, she had to be careful and respectful.
"Suhlen, Lord of the Northern Castle." Suhlen said with a smile. He then gestured to the prepared banquet hall and said, "I've prepared some things there. We can sit down and talk."
Suhlen had already noticed the small movements of the two Centaurs. The Centaur tribe's food was obviously not as good as the human's, let alone the food that was cooked by the Halfling's chefs. Therefore, after smelling the aroma of the food, the glutton in his stomach began to stir.
When they heard Suhlen's invitation, they immediately agreed. When they arrived at the banquet hall, the two Centaurs were very satisfied with the food prepared by Suhlen. The fruits were okay since they were all gathered from the wilderness, but the fruit salad with cream and honey made them forget to leave.
There was also a dessert called ice cream. It was simply delicious. That roasted antelope was also not bad. After tasting the food, Mishien and Kane let go of their reservations and began to taste all kinds of food.
"Lord Suhlen, we are at war with the orc tribe in the north. We need a batch of weapons and food, and of course, wine." After finishing her meal, the beautiful mare finally remembered to talk about business.
"That's not a problem. I can sell them all to you." Suhlen nodded. These were originally prepared for trade. He put down the wine glass and continued, "But what are you going to use to trade?"
In the wastelands, Kinnar was basically not used for trade. After all, orcs, half-orcs, barbarians, centaurs, and half-elves rarely used Kinnar. Most of the time, they used the ancient method of bartering. In fact, even human caravans that came to the wastelands to trade mostly used bartering.
"We can use longbows, horses, and furs to trade. Of course, we can also use some gold or silver." Mishien put down the ice cream in his hand and said.
Gold and silver should be some raw ores. It seems like there are a lot of gold and silver mines in the wilderness. Suhlen thought to himself.
"We don't need gold or silver for now. You can use horses and longbows to trade." Suhlen had already planned to form a cavalry and archer team. Although he didn't have a cavalry commander's seal and didn't have the system bonuses, forming a cavalry team was not a problem.
"How many horses and longbows do you have?" Suhlen asked.
"Two hundred fine horses and one hundred longbows," Mishien said. "We are going to trade for two hundred sets of armor and twenty carriages of food. We also want one carriage of rum."
"Two hundred sets of armor, twenty carriages of food, and one carriage of rum. I have all these goods, but you don't have enough to trade!" Suhlen took a sip of his wine glass and said.
The armor that the Centaurs were talking about was not human armor. Due to their body structure, the Centaurs' armor had to be specially made. They had to link a human half armor with a horse's armor. This kind of armor was equivalent to the armor of a human Heavy Cavalry, so it would not be cheap.
At the same time, food was very precious in the wilderness. Twenty carriages of food was not a small number. The centaurs in front of them were asking for a sky-high price.
"Our horses are the best. They can support heavy armor and charge. Our longbows are also the best. If these things are transported to the human world, they will be popular goods. We think this price is reasonable." Mishien said with a smile.
"You also know that it is to be transported to the human world." Suhlen leaned back in his chair. The wine glass in his hand was shaking rhythmically. The amber wine swayed back and forth in the glass.
"But this is the wilderness. You are using the human world's standards to set the price. You are being a hooligan." Suhlen said with a smile.
"Miss Mishien, I am very sincere about doing business with you, but I don't see any sincerity in you."
"Lord Suhlen, how much do you think we should pay?" Mihien wasn't surprised. She had always been in charge of trading with humans in the Samar tribe. Even if she was ignorant at first, she had been in contact with human merchants for a long time, so she had some negotiation skills.
"Three hundred horses and three hundred bows," Suhlen said directly.
"No, that's too much. Three hundred horses are fine, but not bows." Mishien shook her head and refused. "We are now at war with the orcs. We can only sell one hundred bows."
"But we can sell you some slaves and gold. Don't you humans like gold?"
"What slaves? How much gold are you willing to pay? "
"Some orc captives." Mishien continued. "We can provide two hundred orc laborers. They are much stronger than goblins, kobolds, and gnolls. Gold is three hundred pounds according to your human standards. "
One hundred pounds of gold. Suhlen didn't expect the Centaur tribe to be so rich. The level of smelting in this era was limited. The purity of gold was only about ninety-one percent of what it was in his previous world. A standard Kinnar weighed about five grams. In addition to gold, there were also some other metals mixed in. Three hundred pounds of gold was equivalent to thirty thousand Kinnar.
"Two hundred orc laborers, three hundred horses, one hundred bows, and three hundred pounds of gold. This is our first trade, so I will take a loss and agree. "Suhlen thought for a while and pretended to agree.
"Then I look forward to working with you!" The beautiful little mare nodded excitedly. "You are a good person!"
Looking at the little mare's innocent eyes, Suhlen felt a little guilty. However, he quickly convinced himself. After all, the other people and the Centaurs gave a much higher price. Compared to them, he was already very kind.
