74: Chapter 74 New Trading Partner 74: Chapter 74 New Trading Partner “Hurry, everyone move faster, what are you dawdling for?”
Yars shouted loudly at the people around him, personally directing the transportation of goods.
That’s right, having heard that three-wheeled carts had arrived, Yars had rushed over and was now commanding the loading.
It goes without saying, these three-wheeled carts are extrely useful, everyone who has used them thinks so.
They can easily navigate all sorts of complex terrain and are very sturdy, not prone to breaking down.
With the three-wheeled carts, moving things around in certain areas has beco a lot more convenient.
The only problem is that there are too few of them, certainly not enough to go around.
It’s not just on their side; even the people in the rear have seen the carts and expressed great interest.
Most importantly, the carts themselves are made of fine steel.
Even if they break, they can be reforged into soldiers’ weapons, and of high quality at that.
This point was sothing Yars had already asked his blacksmith about.
So, these items had to be recovered, especially since they must never fall into the Beastn’s hands, or else they would be aiding the enemy.
What’s more, the Beastn had the audacity to raid them again, right before their eyes, no less.
This was a blow to Yars’s pride and also left him feeling alard.
If the Beastn made off with the three-wheeled carts, wouldn’t his loss be great?
If the loss was too significant, causing Zhao Guang to cease trading with them, what would they do on the battlefield?
He hadn’t forgotten that it seed the Beastn were also receiving support from certain people.
With these soldiers’ full assistance, Zhao Guang didn’t need to go over to the other side anymore; he rely had to keep throwing things onto the conveyor belt.
Upon arrival, the others would take over the assembly process.
As for the Beastn, Zhao Guang was truly not worried; he understood their nature all too well.
Having acquired so much chili oil, they wouldn’t be sober enough to cause trouble, let alone raid.
It wasn’t until the transport was complete that Chao Guang erged, drenched in sweat.
After all, it was all iron, and although his strength far exceeded that of an ordinary person, the labor was still exhausting.
“Let’s go, back to the castle.
We’ll have a feast,” he said.
Even though most of the supplies had been taken by the Beastn, Zhao Guang still had a batch that had been delivered.
These goods were more than enough to hold several feasts.
“Ah, let’s skip the feast, I’ve been cultivating my mind and body lately.”
“What do you an?
How have you been cultivating?” Yars looked at Zhao Guang with so surprise.
Feasts were wonderful, with so many people eating together, enjoying such good food—didn’t Zhao Guang always enjoy them?
In Yars’s eyes, and in the eyes of most of the soldiers, Zhao Guang was soone who enjoyed feasts.
“Well, I need to prepare for practicing my Lifebound Battle Skill, so I’m eating and drinking less,” Zhao Guang replied.
“Lifebound Battle Skill, right, you do need to be careful with that, especially with a Defensive Battle Technique like yours.
Just endure it; the hardship will pass,” Yars said, rembering the suffering he went through when practicing his own skills.
And that was for attacking-type skills; it’s the defensive-type skills that are truly agonizing.
Even those who practiced Defense Type skills would just carry a shield.
No one expected soone to do as Zhao Guang did, covering oneself in armor and enduring the discomfort.
Zhao Guang didn’t say much either, following them back.
“You don’t have to eat at at the banquet, but you can’t skip it; just have sothing light,” he suggested.
Hearing this, Zhao Guang didn’t comnt.
If one were to not attend for a whole month, that would seem rather unsociable.
However, upon returning, Yars went to arrange for a three-wheeled vehicle.
Another person, clad in ornate clothing, approached Zhao Guang.
Upon seeing Zhao Guang, he slightly bowed in greeting.
“Are you Lord Zhao Guang?
I am Yalugo, a Viscount of the Southern Mountains.”
Zhao Guang returned the bow, having so understanding of noble etiquette.
“Good day, I am Zhao Guang.
May I know if the Viscount has any instructions for ?”
Yalugo’s brow imperceptibly furrowed, sowhat dissatisfied with Zhao Guang’s manner.
In this world, the difference between nobles and commoners was like heaven and earth.
Even the wealthiest rchants would be extrely deferential and eager to please in the presence of nobles, since their status could not compare to that of the nobility.
Many rchants were willing to drain their entire fortunes just to obtain a noble title.
Yet the rchant before him didn’t seem very respectful.
Could it be because he felt confident due to his association with Count Yars?
Alas, though Yars was an Earl, he was rely the Earl of a poor border region.
His money was primarily needed for maintaining troops, leaving him rather poor and without much power at ho.
With this in mind, Yalugo said directly, “I’m very interested in your three-wheeled vehicles and would like to purchase a batch.”
Zhao Guang furrowed his brow too; the condescending attitude was truly irritating.
However, since it was business, there were no issues.
He could bear it; who knows, there might be so quality goods in it for him.
“Certainly, how should we price it?”
“You na your price.
I’m not one of those impoverished nobles from the border regions.”
This attitude really made one want to give him a piece of mind.
But glancing at the two guards on either side, Zhao Guang abandoned the thought; he was no match for the strength of those guards.
“I’m not very interested in Gold Coins.
If you have any Combat Energy training thods, Battle Skills, or anything related to Magic, we can trade with those.”
“Those things?” Yalugo hadn’t expected Zhao Guang to want such things.
Though the nobles didn’t value them highly, they knew these were all extrely precious.
However, if it was just the basic parts, it should be fine.
“Alright, I’ll have soone look for them when I return.
But you must give five thousand three-wheeled vehicles.”
“That depends on whether what you bring is worth that price.”
“Don’t worry, it will be the top-grade Combat Energy training thods.
I heard you’re practicing the Micro Light Breathing thod, right?
I’ll find you sothing with the Light Attribute,” the man seed to know him quite well.
“Additionally, this spice trade…”
Zhao Guang quickly said, “Currently, I’m only trading spices with Count Yars.
If you wish to get involved, please talk to Count Yars directly.” Let the nobles resolve matters among themselves.
Currently, he wasn’t in a position to haggle with them, so Zhao Guang simply passed him off.
Yalugo seed dissatisfied with this response, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, Yars was an Earl, and as a noble, one had to abide by the noble hierarchy’s rules and not overstep them.
Ignoring these rules would result in collective ostracism by other nobles.
