Zeon's attributes were very simple. He was much weaker than a Barbarian, but he had an advantage that others didn't.
[Trade: You can communicate better with people by observing their expressions. You can get a better understanding of the prices of goods. You can get a better deal by observing people's expressions.]
Zeon was originally a normal mercenary. After joining the territory, he was prepared to become a free citizen. Of course, he was still required to defend his territory if it was attacked. After Suhlen discovered his talent in trading, he decided to train him to be the exclusive merchant of his territory.
In fact, every noble would have one or several caravans to transport and sell the products of their territory. After all, if they relied on the products of their territory, it wouldn't be difficult for them to maintain their lives, but it wouldn't be easy for them to develop and expand.
Suhlen originally wanted to wait until his territory had a stable output next year before starting to form a merchant group. It seemed that he would have to bring it forward.
"Zeon, I'm going to appoint you as the manager of my merchant group. Do you have any requests?" Suhlen looked at the muscular middle-aged man in front of him.
"Monseigneur, you want to appoint me as the manager of your merchant group? I have no objections. I'm happy to serve you. " Originally, Gene was a little uneasy and worried that Su Lun would come to settle accounts with him because of the last battle. He didn't expect that Su Lun would let him be the steward of the caravan. Gene agreed without thinking.
"That's good. As the manager of the merchant group, you will be given 20 acres of farmland. However, this is only for temporary use. If you don't do a good job, it will be taken back. If you do a good job, it will be your reward. Of course, this is only the most basic reward."
"I'll form the merchant group as soon as possible. I'll give you one day to arrange your personal matters. We'll officially start tomorrow morning." After that, Suhlen waved his hand, indicating that Zeon could leave.
Suhlen didn't fully trust Zeon. Zeon's loyalty was only 76. It wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. However, this loyalty wasn't enough for Suhlen to fully trust him.
That was why Zeon, the manager of the caravan, didn't care about money. He would never use money to test a person's heart because most people couldn't withstand this kind of test. The best way was to set up a reasonable system to prevent such situations as much as possible.
One thousand five hundred Kinnar suhlen were given to Johnson for safekeeping. He was going to let Johnson be the leader of the guards of the caravan. Johnson's loyalty had already reached 100%. He was loyal to him and would never betray him. With Johnson in charge of Kinnar, Suhlen could rest assured.
Other than being the captain of the guards, Johnson was also tasked with monitoring Zeon. As for the other guards of the caravan, Suhlen had already prepared them.
The next morning, the camp became very lively. The barbarian warriors who had left with Owen two days ago had all returned. What about Owen? Sorry, I've already given him to you. It's your own fault for not looking after him. You can't blame me for this.
Even if Owen came back to ask for him, Owen wouldn't admit it. Besides, neither side had left any written evidence when they made the deal. He could only hold his nose and admit it. He didn't have the guts to fight with Suhlen. With the military power of Suhlen's territory, Suhlen could easily wipe out his caravan three times without breaking a sweat.
So this time, he had lost both the woman and the money. Who gave you the courage to come to my territory and steal from me? What do you mean you want to return the money? Why should I return the money I swindled?
Of course, he could also use Marquis Chrisman's name, but if he did that, his career as a manager of the caravan would be over. The nobles wouldn't care if you were swindled or not. Once they found out that you had caused a huge loss to the merchant guild, the first thing they would do was ask you to pay up and kick you out. Suhlen was completely fearless.
These barbarian warriors who had just returned were the guards of the caravan. The carriages that were used to transport supplies were also there. Zeon and the others took twenty carriages and left the territory, heading towards Calt. The carriages were also filled with all kinds of furs that they had harvested from hunting in the territory. When they returned, the territory's population would explode.
.....
"Ding! Territory dungeon quest unlocked. A giant tiger has appeared near your territory. The tiger's existence threatens the safety of the territory's residents. Please eliminate the tiger as soon as possible."
Suddenly, the Empire's war game system notification rang in his ears. Suhlen was slightly stunned. Territory dungeon quest? After hearing the system notification, Suhlen immediately switched out the system interface to check.
[Dungeon quest: Eliminate the giant tiger that invaded your territory. Reward: Generous reward.]
The system gave very few notifications. Suhlen looked at it for a while and remembered that wild monsters would spawn in the wild every once in a while. This territory dungeon should be one of them. In the game, these wild monsters would usually drop some good items.
"Boss, we're missing three cows!" Suhlen had just closed the system interface when a barbarian warrior hurried over.
"What happened?"
"Boss, when Jonathon went to herd the cows today, he noticed that the number of cows was wrong. Three cows were missing, and there was a huge gap in the fence. We don't know what kind of animal attacked the cattle pen. "
"Monster attack?" Suhlen was slightly stunned. Then, he suddenly thought of the dungeon quest. Could this be a clue to the quest? Thinking of this, Suhlen did not delay and immediately got up to go to the cattle pen.
The cattle pen was outside the camp. If he let these wild cows stay here, his camp would probably become smelly in a few days. Therefore, he specially marked out an area outside the city and used logs to build a cattle pen. At the same time, he arranged for people to look after it.
When he arrived at the cattle pen, Suhlen quickly saw the damaged fence. He saw that the logs that were half a meter thick had been broken by a huge force. The surrounding fence was also broken into pieces. The scene was a mess. The logs used to build the fence were very sturdy. To destroy it to this extent required a very strong force. Even the barbarians could not compare.
When he came closer, on the grass beside the fence, there were a few large paw prints on the ground. Seeing this, Suhlen could confirm that the destruction of the cattle pen was caused by the giant tiger mentioned by the system.
"You guys go find some wood and repair this place." Suhlen ordered the others to repair the cattle pen. He himself followed the clues on the ground and prepared to search. There were many paw prints on the ground. They looked like cat paw prints, but these paw prints were many times bigger than cat paw prints.
The paw prints extended outwards. Following the paw prints, Suhlen quickly arrived in the wilderness. At this time, the paw prints were damaged by other animals and had become a little blurry. However, he could still distinguish them. Soon, Suhlen followed the paw prints to a forest.
