Chapter 9 Guests from the Sea
The ships around this time must be those tribes that have lost their islands.
They lost their land, so they would not easily give up any islands they encountered.
Before the visitor could run to Kent, he shouted loudly, "Class leader, a large ship appeared on the sea, and he had already circled around the island."
“Where is now?”
"On the sea to the east"
Uncle Kent did not hesitate, "Immediately notify the hunting team to bring the best weapons and all the way to the east beach. Let the tribe hide first."
After saying that, it seemed that the person was a little stunned. He emphasized and said, "Go now!"
Then he turned to Carl who had been following him and said, "Go and take the chain mail at home and inform Barrow to put it on."
Carl got up and ran straight to the house.
When Lynn followed Kent and the others to the beach, he saw a two-massed ship smaller than the Hammer, parked on the sea far away.
Captain Barrow and his men have already rushed over from the tribe.
Bjorn actually ran over with Carl, and handed it to Kent carefully with a pair of exquisite chain armor.
Smile, "I'm a soldier too."
Kent glared at him fiercely, but did not drive him away. "Stand behind with Lynn."
Bjorn immediately ran to Lynn with excitement on his face and asked in a low voice, "Is it going to fight?"
“Not sure yet,”
"Where did that set of chain armor come from?" Lynn never saw Kent pass through iron armor. In the past, the best warriors in the tribe were the leather armor.
"That's the treasure my father snatched. It's so tightly hidden! I want to wear it and play with it, he won't allow it." Bjorn curled his lips, very disdainful of Kent's stinginess.
It's just to guard against you, Lin En smiled. With his observation of the tribe blacksmith's skills, he created some warhammers. The battlehammer may be okay, but chain armor is impossible, it's too cumbersome.
At this time, the big ship parked on the sea took action. He slowly set off a small boat and the two of them rowed to the shore in the small boat.
All the soldiers in the tribe gathered on the beach at this time, with battle axes, warhammers, shields and spears all armed and ready for battle.
Kent and Barrow stood in front of the chain armor, staring at the boat that was constantly approaching.
Before the boat could dock, the people on the boat raised their hands and shouted loudly, "We don't carry weapons, we just come with kindness!"
Captain Kent stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Tell me what you are doing and don't make any confusing moves, otherwise I promise you will never be able to go back alive!"
The man who came was a strong man in his prime, and he smiled and said:
"I am Victor, the patriarch of the Thunder Wolf Tribe. Our island has sunk too fast and the freshwater reserves on the ship are insufficient. I hope to get supplies here."
"This island belongs to our Hammer Tribe. Every leaf and water on the island belongs to us. Why give it to you?"
"So we are willing to pay some material exchange."
"It depends on what you can give." Captain Kent shook the battle axe in his hand.
"One hundred kilograms of iron, exchange for enough water"
"Not enough, three hundred kilograms of iron."
Iron, like food and water, are the common currency in this world. Only with iron can we create weapons and armor!
Victor looked puzzled, "That's too much, we can't provide that much."
"That's your problem. If you want water, you can only exchange it with latte!" Kent refused to let go.
Bjorn beside him muttered to Lynn in a low voice:
"But just some water, just give it to them, we don't lack it."
Lynn glanced at him, "It's not that simple, how do you know if they are really lacking in water?"
Bjorn was stunned and said, "You mean, they have other purposes?"
"Not necessarily, when we decide whether to hunt a prey, shouldn't we also observe whether its minions are sharp?"
"So, are they here to steal our prey?" Bjorn's face changed and he looked at Victor with the eyes of his enemies.
Lin En was stunned when she heard this, looked at him hatefully, turned her head and decided not to explain to him anymore.
Kent seemed to understand Victor's embarrassment and said lightly, "If the iron is not enough, it can be a weapon of the same weight."
Victor's face changed, "That's impossible. Without weapons, all of us will die."
"I can take another step back, one hundred kilograms of iron, plus one hundred kilograms of weapons, this is my bottom line." Kent said, looking firmly at Victor,
"You must know that I don't lack iron, nor do I lack fresh water. Now you need water to help your life, so of course you have to pay enough."
Victor hesitated for a while and nodded helplessly to agree, "You are right, we agree."
"Now, you can get your people over, up to twenty people, you can't bring weapons, your sails must disappear on the sea before dark."
Victor and the others rowed and left, and soon returned with twenty people on two long boats.
As the group of people approached, Lynn also saw their appearance clearly. His lips were chapped, his hair was dry like dry grass in autumn, his skin began to molt, and his eyes were even a little dry, red and swollen due to lack of water.
Bjorn beside him breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that they are really short of water, not wanting to come and grab food."
Lin Enheng glanced at him and laughed, "Maybe they are not only short of water, but also lack food!"
Bjorn suddenly realized, and then continued to look at Victor and others with the eyes of his enemies.
Kent looked at the iron ingots and weapons brought by Victor, including axes and hammers. After roughly estimating, he turned to Barrow and told him, "Barrow, take people to help them get water."
The soldiers of the Thunder Wolf Tribe licked their chapped lips and paced back and forth with some anxiety.
Hearing this, he hurriedly came down from the boat and lifted more than twenty large oak barrels.
It's really big wooden barrels, each of which can be as high as a chest. It's no problem to hold five or six hundred kilograms of water, depending on the thickness.
Victor and these strong men, carrying wooden barrels, followed Barrow toward the river.
Kent walked to Lynn, "Don't worry, this kind of thing happens a few times this time of year."
"Uncle Kent, will they steal our island?"
"No, summer is just now, and countless islands appear on the sea every day. There is no need for them to take risks at this time."
"And, as long as you see the trees on the island, you will know that this is an old island for four years. There are very few islands in Fenris that can exist for such a long time, and our island has not been long!"
Lynn was stunned when he heard this, "So the trees on our island are very valuable, right?"
Kent was stunned when he heard this. Yes, the iron trees on our island are originally excellent wood, and they have grown for so many years, and the entire Fenris is rare.
This is not an iron tree, it is simply a money tree, okay?
