New Buyer

All of them have seated at the table.

"Chief Rhaet, I am here today because of an important guest, waiting to meet you. In fact, he has currently camped just a few miles away from here." He said it with excitement in his voice. He seemed so eager for both of them to meet.

"Oh! "Tell me more about this guest." Rhaet smiled slightly, although he wasn't interested. But he was happy because more people meant more gold. With more gold, he could buy whatever he wanted.

He had already prepared huge amounts of wheat. That was why he brought all those people from other tribes. He made them work in the fields and produced tonnes of wheat. It was the main source of a trade item for him and the necessary item for them.

"He is the man who directly serves under the lord of Ditrayn, the land of sand." It is a region situated hundreds of miles west of these mountains," He replied.

He continued rubbing his hands, with a glint in his eyes. "He is interested in buying your wheat grains."

"Do you have reserves? It seems the weather here isn't supportive of cropping."

"Well, I have gathered some beforehand." "Tell me the required quantity." He said while folding his hands.

"About 30 to 40 tonnes. I know it's huge; you can tell me how much you have. We can sell that off too." He wasn't expecting Rhaet to have that much wheat. After all, this place was basically living the way back, until his visit.

"I can meet the requirement."

"And I also want to meet him, the person who is buying," Rhaet replied.

Reinfride smiled and stood up. "Then I will bring that person here."

"Give me a moment." He said that and walked out of the room.

As he came out, there was a man standing with a horse. He signaled to him, telling him to bring them. He was a soldier in that man's group. He came with Reinfride.

Reinfride returned to the hall and said as she approached them."They will be here by the evening."

"Until then, why don't you tell us about the cities you have visited recently?" Rhaet lifted the jug with ale in it and drank.

The conversation started among them.

A few hours later, a group of horses were running straight into the village with men riding on them. All of them were armored from head to toe.

All the villagers stared at them in bewilderment, feeling like they were seeing something they have never seen before. It was their first time seeing men in iron suits.

Aragon, who came out of Rhaet's house, saw them and stopped to watch them.

Synnove with Asdis also came out. Ivar, Egnav, and Anaes ran along with them and ended up in front of the hall.

The village has now been filled with more people after the addition of the Isu tribe's women. And all of them were now gathered in front of the hall.

People wondered, looking at the newcomers. Seeing foreigners with unusual appearances and armor on their bodies

Rhaet paid no attention to them, instead focusing on the man on the horse. That man wore a different dress from others, and he was lightly clothed inside, with a thick fur coat over him, and his skin was dark. He was the only one who didn't put on armor.
