Chapter 915, Only Knows How to Nod

Bo and Luc, under Lun’s guidance, headed towards the Central Market. When departing, they also rode in a carriage.

 

*Step step step…*

 

Half an hour later, the two stopped at the Central Market’s entrance. At this time, the Central Market had an enormous number of people.

 

Bo looked up at the words ‘Flame Dragon Central Market’ and muttered, “Could this be the Flame Dragon Tribe’s writing? It looks so simple.”

 

He was beginning to feel somewhat amazed, because these words were many times better than the Mountain Goat Tribe’s writing.

 

The Mountain Goat Tribe’s writing was far too complex. Even now, he had not learnt much of it.

 

Because each word in their Tribe was composed extremely intricately, one of their words was equivalent to three of Flame Dragon Tribe’s.

 

One could imagine just how complex their Tribe’s writing had been made. No wonder people of this era found it hard to be literate.

 

“These words mean Flame Dragon Central Market. Let’s head inside.” Lun naturally saw their surprise. This surprise was also commonly seen amongst other Tribes’ people.

 

“Does this place called the Central Market always have this many people?” Luc asked curiously.

 

It was the first time he had seen a Market Tribe with so many people, even though the Flame Dragon Tribe appeared to be a Medium Tribe.

 

But there should be no way to gather this many people. This many people was a phenomenon that could only be seen in Large Tribes.

 

“Ever since the Central Market was established, there have been this many people every day.” Lun said casually.

 

He had naturally been shocked as well, only that was just at the beginning. Now he was already accustomed to it.

 

“Truly amazing. Then the Flame Dragon Tribe’s goods must be exceptionally good, otherwise there’d be no way to attract this many people.” Luc exclaimed.

 

“Of course. Our goods are so good that many people come to fight over them. If your hand is just a bit slow, you won’t be able to grab anything.” Lun appeared slightly proud.

 

He most enjoyed seeing these people’s shocked expressions, because it was truly too interesting.

 

“Then we must bring more back to let the Main Tribe’s people have a good look.” Bo was already looking forward to it.

 

“I’m afraid that won’t work. You can only bring back some of each item, not too much at once.” Lun immediately said.

 

He had received orders to restrict the quantity of goods these people took away. They could not let them take too much all at once. After all, these goods were directly given to them. They did not need to exchange anything for them.

 

“Why? Our Main Tribe is so big. The area is three times that of the Flame Dragon Tribe. Why can’t we bring more back?” Bo immediately questioned.

 

He felt his little scheme had been instantly disrupted. Originally from the start, he had wanted to bring more back to pocket some for himself.

 

“Because the quantity is very limited. Moreover, we also need to trade with other Tribes’ people. This is so our Tribe can operate normally.”

 

Lun displayed an expression of great difficulty, continuing, “If you take away too much all at once, it will affect our Tribe.”

 

“What does that matter? The Flame Dragon Tribe already belongs to the Dark Scorpion Tribe. We’re just taking things from here to another place. In essence, there’s no difference at all.”

 

Bo was very dissatisfied. If this were the case, he would not be able to secretly store away some items for himself.

 

“It’s not the same. You surely don’t think that when the Chieftain takes over this Tribe, she has made it a complete mess.” Lun waved his hand, continuing, “The Central Market is crucial to ensuring the entire Tribe’s operation. The goods inside are naturally the same, so we must guarantee the Tribe operates normally.”

 

“What he says actually makes sense. We surely can’t let the Tribe’s people arrive here to see it being poorly operated, not after what we report…” Luc thought about it for a moment and it was indeed so, continuing, “Then we’ll just take away the right amount. First, take us inside to look at the situation.”

 

Since they had not even seen the goods yet, then why were they arguing about how much to bring?

 

“Let’s walk this way first. The first shop is the place for trading wine. Our Flame Dragon Tribe’s wine is very famous.”

 

Lun raised his head proudly and walked to the wine trading location, continuing, “One jar of our wine requires many bags of dried meat to trade. We have many varieties of wine…”

 

He was just like a salesperson, enthusiastically explaining before the two intelligence agents.

 

How difficult each jar of wine was to make, how much dried meat each jar required in trade, how much quantity there was of each jar, and so on.

 

One could say the explanation from start to finish was extremely detailed. Of course, many things were fabricated exaggerations.

 

He would not foolishly tell people from other Tribes everything. Some things were just embellishments.

 

The reason for speaking more exaggeratedly was that he had to make those people feel extremely shocked. Only this way would they doubly treasure the wine they took back, and also give them more to talk about when they returned.

 

“Wine? What’s wine?” Bo was very curious, constantly twitching his nose to smell that wine fragrance.

 

He had never smelt this kind of scent before. This scent was truly too good, the best-smelling water he had ever encountered.

 

[Wait, this is water?] Bo’s eyes instantly widened as he looked at that wine. That wine truly looked very much like water, yet was not water.

 

“Wine is very delicious. This is something many Tribes coming to our Tribe must fight over. If they can’t grab any, they can only feel deep regret.” Lun deliberately displayed a very regretful appearance, his gaze not even looking at those two intelligence agents.

 

“This is amazing? Impossible. It’s just that the fragrance is quite nice. Drinking it definitely won’t be anything special.” Bo was somewhat sceptical.

 

He had originally held favourable feelings towards this wine. After all, the scent was truly mesmerising.

 

But after hearing Lun’s praise, and such exaggerated praise at that, he began to harbour doubts.

 

“I also think so. It should… should be mediocre. It looks just like water.” Luc also felt somewhat disbelieving.

 

The corners of Lun’s mouth curled slightly upward. He knew they would both question it. He did not care though.

 

Anyway, he just needed to let them both have a taste. As long as they tried it once, he could completely conquer their taste buds.

 

Because all other Tribes’ people were like this. At first, they all sneered at the wine. But once they took a sip, they felt their faces had been slapped. They would then immediately trade for large quantities of wine before leaving.

 

Bo and Luc were no exception. After receiving the two cups of wine Lun passed them and drinking it, they felt the words they had said earlier were too arrogant.

 

They immediately asked for several more cups of wine to drink. It truly tasted so good they could not speak.

 

They just kept nodding. That appearance was just like a ‘drinking bird’, only knowing how to nod.
