Chapter 14 Be Bigger and Stronger

"I'm afraid! Why are you afraid?" Derek asked back and laughed, "I think you are a person, but the mountain binds your eyes.

There are more than just the rats, insects and leopards you see in the world. If you have other thoughts, I can kill them with my sword.

Royd didn't say anything, and the mountain people couldn't help jumping out.

"Don't be too arrogant. Believe it or not, Grandpa, I'll kill you now."

Derek didn't respond, but Simon threw the box on the ground and drew the long sword with his right hand like an electric one.

The next second, the lightning flashed.

Buzz!

The long sword was inserted in front of the other party's animal shoes, just scratching the front and going deep into the bottom inch.

This force, this speed, this precision.

The mountain people took a deep breath and couldn't believe it.

The powerful people they have seen can compete with tigers and leopards, and can run faster than elk.

But I have never seen such a skill.

"Don't treat me as the scum of those nobles. There are many heroes in the world. Why was Louis crowned king? Why is Perez's surname inherited in the northern province?

There are some wastes in the nobles, but there are also real heroes. I... Von Derek, not the wastes you have seen.

Derek sat there, with Simon's performance, but he was as calm as a mountain.

"I'm here to make friends. I don't want such a test to happen again."

Royd's face was gloomy, and the slap in the face really made him a little uncomfortable.

But as Derek said, he is not a waste.

Even some hidden contempt disappeared without a trace.

In this world, some people are afraid of power, some people worship money, and some people are afraid of death.

But everyone looks up to the strong.

Derek is the strong man here.

Royd lowered his head, and even he didn't notice. The momentum was more than one point worse.

"I'm sorry, foreigners are never friendly to us, so... I'm sorry.

My name is Royd, and I'd like to make you a friend.

Derek was not blindly strong. Seeing this, he signaled to Simon, "Open my gift and show it to Leader Loyd."

Simon first walked to the provocative mountain people. The other party was shocked by the sword and did not dare to move until now.

He unceremonily pulled out his sword, turned around arrogantly, and then pryed open the box.

Layers of wood chips wrapped the contents, and Simon peeled them off layer by layer, revealing the items wrapped in oil paper.

He took it out one by one again. Seeing that Derek didn't respond, he opened it directly.

A dark black long sword, under the reflection of the fire, reveals the luster of metal.

Ring!

Gently push open the scabbard, revealing the metallic sword body, and a layer of inconspicuous lines winds.

"Good sword!"

For the mountain people, any weapon is precious.

What's more, this sword looks very beautiful.

Of course, this is also Derek's handwriting. Firstly, the craftsmanship of Xiaotru and others has indeed improved a lot, and secondly, it has also been specially polished.

With this workmanship, this quality, this packaging, you think it's five silver coins?

No, starting at ten silver coins, I won't sell it if the relationship is not good.

Although Royd is stronger than ordinary mountain people, he has a little less vision after all.

When Simon lined up the five swords, the heavy breathing could be heard.

His eyes were as if they were nailed to a sword, and he could no longer move away.

Even he knew that Derek had something else to ask for, but he couldn't refuse.

After a long time, he suppressed the impulse to rob.

"Knight Derek, what do you mean by this?"

You see, even if you are a hero, you should bow your head.

"Making friends, I, Derek, dare not say anything else. He is absolutely generous to friends."

Royd couldn't help nodding. He saw the generosity.

"Yes, make friends. In the future, you will be my friend of Loyd. If you encounter difficulties, it is still useful in the mountains to report my name."

Royd just wanted to pretend to be one, and immediately thought of the other party's tough combat power. Well... I still won't say anything.

What does Derek want?

Leather goods business?

No, there is no one to cover this thing behind, which is absolutely impossible to do.

Even if he wants to do it, he has to put the priority behind, and even pull Baron Ferrera together.

There are only two things Derek wants.

Land, population.

Can a mountaineer or a bandit give him these two?

Of course, it's not legal, but Derek doesn't need to be legal.

If you want to mix in this era when all resources are controlled by the great nobles and the royal family, you should either join in or open up a new track.

For the former, Derek has no chance now.

The latter may not be impossible.

He was not in a hurry to express his heart. With these meeting gifts, the two sides would be very harmonious when they started to interact.

They also took out the inventory when the rabbits were grilled directly.

While eating and drinking, Royd asked a few questions tentatively. He thought that Derek wanted to do leather goods business.

But it was rejected.

I've been waiting for the rest to finish eating and drinking, leaving others to continue to brag and fart.

Derek invited Royd to walk with him, and the latter immediately became mind.

The two walked for a while and moved away from the camp.

Royd's face gradually became serious. He knew that his friend's request was coming, but he didn't know whether he would pay or not.

"Royd, you usually rob. How's your business?"

He had already prepared for his identity to be revealed, so his face remained unchanged.

"Reluctantly to survive, this is not an important traffic road. It's just some small merchants who robbed. The materials in the mountains are expensive, so it's barely enough to eat and drink."

"Ha ha! I believe that it is barely enough to eat and drink, and it is normal for materials to be expensive in the mountains. But there should be more than just a small businessman here, right?"

Derek is too familiar with the way of nobles and kingdom officials.

All the caravans are doing business.

Without a background, it's hard to move forward.

Nobles and officials don't need any threats, just one move... set up cards to draw taxes.

The law of the kingdom, ten draw one.

But draw when you pass, and hand in when you meet the card.

Nobles and officials often set up private checkpoints. If your goods go for a while, the cost will double, and if you go for a while, the cost will double again.

In this way, what else can you make?

But you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder.

Large and small merchants, that is to cross mountains and ridges, and take paths exclusively.

Some hidden business channels are the core capital of some commercial banks.

There are no fat sheep in this mountain.

It's just that they can't eat it.

Derek's words made Royd silent.

"Let me give you a suggestion. You might as well try to be bigger and stronger. Anyway, these caravans can't go deep into the wilderness to trouble you.

If you want to try the goods, many merchants will be willing to do it at a lower price.

I can provide you with weapons.

I can even help with regular soldier training.

How is it?"

Royd raised his head in shock and blurted out, "Do you want to take me in?"

"No, this is just the mutual help of friends. If you are willing to go out of the mountain to grab a wave of population, I am happy to pay for it.

If you buy weapons, I will also make money.

Only training is the witness of our friendship.

Although we just met, I believe that interests will strengthen our friendship. What do you think?"
