Where is Barbarian Jiang Sen? What are they doing? Count Oasis is already preparing for his revenge; I wonder if they have made any preparations?
At the foot of the mountains to the west lies the site of the Barbarian Jiang Sen tribe.
Jiang Sen was, of course, prepared. As a familiar old adversary, being ready to flee at any time was his contingency plan. He knew those noble lords wouldn't stay in this place for long; he could simply return after they left.
However, he also needed to think of other ways to deal with the situation, such as exchanging the stolen goods for weapons to protect himself.
However, he wasn't particularly worried. It would be very difficult for Count Oasis to come here alone and launch a large-scale war. Resupplying along the way would be a huge problem, and besides, he had been robbed of everything, and his strength was far less than before.
" Jiang Sen, the leader of the Dried Fish Tribe is here." Hurricane's voice interrupted Jiang Sen's thoughts.
Recently, many more people from other tribes have been visiting their tribe. Some come to trade, some to pay a visit, and some to ask for help in making money. Jiang Sen is quite busy. However, the leader of the Dried Fish Tribe didn't come on his own; Jiang Sen invited him.
" Chief Jiang Sen, thank you for your generosity last time." The sprightly old man, King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe, entered Jiang Sen's house.
"That's all rightfully yours, King of Dried Fish. You still look so strong."
Jiang Sen stood up, which could be considered as giving the leader of the Dried Fish Tribe some face.
"I wonder what brings Chief Jiang Sen here today? Do you want us to go mining together again?" Chief Dried Fish Tribe asked softly.
Nobody in this area knows that the Jiang Sen Tribe controls a Silver Mine. They all think that he became so wealthy by robbing the lord in the east.
"No, I hope the King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe will keep this a secret and not talk about it everywhere. I will open up some time for your tribe to mine later, but not now."
Jiang Sen also needs the Dried Fish Tribe's boats and should give them some benefits. They also need a long-term cooperative relationship.
Jiang Sen is a smart man, otherwise his Jiang Sen Tribe wouldn't have occupied this wealthy land.
"Oh, that's wonderful. I'll do as Chief Jiang Sen says. But if it's not about that, why did you call me here this time?"
The sprightly old man pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Jiang Sen had summoned him today.
"Yes, that's right. I heard you can read and are a very knowledgeable person in this area. Can you help me see what's written on this?"
As Jiang Sen spoke, he took out a white object and handed it to the old man in front of him. Yes, this was something they had found on the wooden table when they went to the valley to investigate the situation.
"What is this?" The old man who took the paper was somewhat surprised; this thing was clearly not an ordinary object.
"I don't know either, look at the words above first."
"Greetings, lads who read this letter. I need some black stones or powder to plaster the walls. You know, black looks noble, beautiful, and elegant. If you think so too, then congratulations, you have excellent taste. However, here's the problem: our territory is poor and we don't have these precious stones. If you have any, I'd be willing to buy some—no, I'd buy them all. I want to plaster all the houses black, and for that, I'm willing to offer my entire fortune: 249 copper coins. If you think that's too little, I can add one more. Yes, it's a very good deal. You can exchange stones you don't need for some valuable copper coins. I believe you'd be willing to do that after reading this letter. You can transport the stones to the flat ground at the foot of the valley. After I inspect them, I'll place the copper coins on the wooden table. Of course, if you don't want the copper coins, you can exchange them for other things of equal value."
After reading the letter, King Chief of the Dried Fish Tribe wiped his eyes. Finally, someone agreed with his idea: black is the eternal god.
