Wales knew about this point as well. Beastn had been deceived by humans for too many tis. So many, it was no longer sothing they could count on their own. That was why they harbored intense caution towards humans, and also why very few human rchants could get friendship flags.
Beastn would never give friendship flags to people they wouldn’t trust, since they believed that it would be the greatest desecration to the flags themselves. In fact, other than Zhao Hai, there were no other human rchants who had ever gotten a friendship flag from the beastn for so many years. Not even ones from smaller tribes like the Goat Head Hamr Tribe.
It could be said that the friendship flag on Zhao Hai’s wagon left Wales with a great impression towards Zhao Hai. It was also because of the flag that Wales wanted to cooperate with him.
Wales exhaled and said, “I seriously hope that Zhao Hai is a good rchant. If he has a large amount of grains and is willing to sell them to us, then I will gladly give him our friendship flag.”
Yale knew what Wales ant. What the beastn lacked was grains. If he could really solve Herculean Bull Tribe’s grain issues through Zhao Hai, then he would get closer to the chieftain position.
Yale also hoped that it would be so, but he was also on high alert regarding Zhao Hai. With a long ti in a large tribe and fighting against Gasol in secret for a period of ti, Yale’s heart was still very dark.
A mont of silence in the tent took hold before Yale spoke, “Let’s go out and take a look. I am more and more curious about Zhao Hai right now. If he’s really a liar, then he must have a complicated identity. A liar with a spatial equipnt? Hehe. I think he isn’t be an ordinary person, is he?”
Wales also started to laugh. Indeed, if a liar had a spatial equipnt, then he must had been an incredible liar.
After looking at the ti, Wales laughed, “Let’s go out, teacher. I promised Zhao Hai to give him a good toast.”
Yale chuckled as both of them walked out of the tent. Bonfires were made outside the tent and argali had been put to roast.
The beastn were like this. To them, serving you a roasted goat would be the greatest treatnt. Although Wales was out for a trial, no matter where beastn were, they would bring a herd of goats with them. Roaming while grazing the goats was the beastn’s life.
Actually, the argali were also their food, which was why they would bring them anywhere. The tribe wasn’t going to be able to keep the goats. Even if they could defeat the Jackal Tribe’s assault, the goats would’ve been robbed away.
But they were lucky today. They ca across Zhao Hai who exterminated the Jackal Tribe’s people with no escapees, so these goats had been kept. Wales would naturally not be stingy over a few of them.
Although the ones who followed Wales were warriors, they were among the highest elite. They often served as escorts for the ranked personnel of Herculean Bull Tribe. The things they knew wouldn’t be less than normal beastn, and what they could do were better than others. It was because when you are next to the higher ups, you must learn how to serve them.
The goats had been roasted above the bonfires. What was special about the occasion was that so tables had been placed next to the bonfires, which wasn’t a common sight. Next to every table were milk wines, and on each of the tables were 2 plates and a wine cup. The notable thing was that no matter the plates, the wine cup, or the wine pots, all of them were made of silver.
All of this displayed the extraordinary nature of the owner’s status. A common small sized tribe would never have such things. Beastn were nomadic. If they put these things in their wagons, they would’ve needed several more wagons, which would greatly inconvenience them when moving about.
But so great races, in order to display their identities, would ready such things. Wales was a powerful contender for the chieftain of Herculean Bull Tribe, so it was a given that his identity was extraordinary. Bringing these things was not sothing to be wondered.
After many years of developnt, many of the younger generation of the higher ups were still maintaining the tradition of taking the trial of roaming, but with the protection of escorts and so of the smaller tribes’ respect, the core of their trials had changed completely. Now it was not much different from travelling.
Once Wales saw that it was about to be ready, he looked at Yale and said, “Teacher, you wait here. I’ll go and invite Zhao Hai.”
Yale didn’t object to that. In their view, putting the question of whether or not Zhao Hai was a liar aside, Zhao Hai was a mage with supre strength, which alone could let him gain respect accordingly. Wales inviting Zhao Hai on his own was enough to explain the respect he had towards Zhao Hai.
Wales walked towards Zhao Hai’s camp with 2 guards behind him. These 2 guards didn’t bring weapons, as to the beastn, bringing weapons to et one’s friend was a very impolite behaviour.
There was a distance between Zhao Hai’s camp and Wales’, but Wales didn’t ride his own mount. Instead, he walked to outside of Zhao Hai’s campsite.
Zhao Hai used his wagons to form a circle outside of his campsite because of the battle earlier. Inside the formation, undead creatures were standing there like statues.
At first Wales assud that those undead creatures were ordinary wagon drivers, but when he walked to the front of them, he realized he was mistaken. Those weren’t people at all. No matter how excellent a fighter would be, there would be no way one could stand for such a long ti without blinking. There was no breathing, even.
Wales wouldn’t feel uneasy when facing human fighters, but when facing the undead, Wales still felt insecure. After all, he had never seen humanoid undead for more than a few tis.
Just when Wales was deciding whether to shout out to Zhao Hai or speak to the animated corpses, Zhao Hai had already walked out of his tent with Laura and others.
Zhao Hai already knew from the undead creatures that Wales had arrived, so of course he wouldn’t be too keeping of his appearance. The other party was a prince, after all. Keeping up the appearance too much would make it look like was trying too hard.
Once Zhao Hai was out, he laughed to Wales and said, “Brother Wales, have you been waiting for with the goats roasted? Hahaha, I’m starving!”
Wales obviously liked how Zhao Hai was speaking like a beastman. He also laughed and said, “Brother Zhao Hai, the goats have been roasted and the milk wine has been poured, waiting for us to drink.”
Zhao Hai laughed his way with Wales as they walked into the latter’s camp. Once Zhao Hai saw the placents, he was stunned. He didn’t expect that Wales would be so prepared when going outside. If it weren’t for the nurous large wagons around, he would’ve thought that Wales had spatial equipnt as well.
Yale was sitting at a table while waiting for Zhao Hai and others. Next to the bonfires were many small tables, and each table could only accommodate 1 person. Notably, the tables weren’t large and small rugs were put next to the tables. A person had to sit on a rug directly.
Once Yale saw that Zhao Hai and others had co, Yale stood up to greet them. Zhao Hai and others imdiately bowed down to Yale. After all, the prophets’ status on Beastn Prairie was too special. They couldn’t afford to have the slightest inadvertence.
There was a saying on Beastn Prairie which went, ‘Offending a prophet ans offending all of the beastn’. Of course, it was only good for the humans. For beastn, it wasn’t too effective. Yet even a chieftain of great tribe wouldn’t easily offend a prophet.
After the formalities, all of them sat down, and soone else brought Zhao Hai and others so roasted mutton. According to the beastn’s usual acts, they must first eat a mouthful of mutton before drinking wine. This showed their importance towards food.
After eating a mouthful of roasted mutton, Wales raised his silver cup and extended it towards Zhao Hai. The two of them weren’t far apart, but with the distance between the tables, the two of them were about 2 tres apart.
Wales spoke with his cup raised, “Brother Zhao Hai, thank you for assisting . Please have this toast representing my gratitude.”
Zhao Hai smiled and raised his cup as well, “You’re too kind, brother Wales. We are friends. There doesn’t need to be too much of a gratitude when friends help each other.”
Wales nodded to Zhao Hai in appreciated and shook the wine up saying, “Please!” Zhao Hai also did the sa, and both of them drank the wine from their cups in a single shot.
After a cup of wine, Wales started talking with Zhao Hai about casual topics. The two of them talked as they were eating the mutton and drinking milk wine. But Zhao Hai felt that he wasn’t eating very happily today compared to at Spiel’s. It wasn’t because of the good, but the atmosphere. They could eat and drink happily Spiel’s because there wasn’t any scheming, but in here, Zhao Hai felt that Wales and Yale were observing him. This made him feel very uncomfortable.
By the ti the 3rd cup of wine was drunk, Wales asked Zhao Hai, “Brother Zhao Hai, do you really have a lot of grains to sell?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “Yes. Plenty. I want to exchange for so special magic beasts, even argali. Of course, so goat hair products are fine as well.”
Wales replied to Zhao Hai, “Brother Zhao Hai, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that to us beastn, grains are too important. I really want to know how many grains you have, and then decide on how to cooperate with you. Also, I want to know about the quality of your grains.”
Zhao Hai laughed, “It’s nothing. I can tell you that right now, I have 100 million kilos of bamboo rice, and there will be even more in the future. As for the quality? Let’s see. You can let your escorts go and get so grains from my grain wagon. Any bag of them will do. You can take so extra and then bring them here. You can take a closer look after that.”
When Zhao Hai ntioned that he had 100 million kilos of grains, Wales breathed in a mouthful of cold air. This was the largest amount he had ever heard of. If he could really get the grains, then Herculean Bull Tribe wouldn’t need to worry about food problems for a very long ti.
What sort of concept was 100 million kilos of grains? It was the amount enough for use by a large tribe of 10 million people for 3 days. Of course, this was because of the fact that beastn could eat more than humans. If it were on humans, this figure would multiply for many tis.
