Soon, the spoils of war were carried over by the six knights.
There were six sacks in total, and they seemed to be quite heavy. They were carefully placed on the long table in the council hall.
These were the spoils of war that Kant had obtained from his journey this time.
After sweeping through the sacks and making sure that he had not missed anything, Kant nodded at the six Swadian knights and said, “You’ve worked hard. Go back and eat first. Rest well today. I will arrange for a two-day holiday for all of you.”
“Understood.”, the knights were delighted. They bowed respectfully and left the council hall.
After the journey, they needed to have a good rest.
In the “Drondheim” Castle, they could enjoy the comfortable life brought about by the holiday.
This was the benefit of increasing their strength.
Kant did not care. In fact, after he rested for the night, he had to continue his busy administrative work the next day. After all, after leaving for two weeks, the current “Drondheim” Castle still needed to be adjusted slightly, for example, he could only personally handle the various trivial matters in the system.
But now, it was better to deal with these spoils of war as soon as possible. The feeling of being in debt was very uncomfortable, not to mention that it was a loan to the Kingdom of Vaegirs. Kant waved his hand and said, “These are the things.”
“Please allow me to look through them.”, Joslin replied.
“As you wish.”, Kant said.
Joslin stood up and went to the six bulging sacks.
He reached out and opened them. Golden yellow appeared in front of his eyes. They were all strips of gold with exquisite and mysterious engravings on them. He opened the sacks one by one and found that they were all made of this kind of gold.
The circular candlestick above his head emitted a light that illuminated the gold in the sacks below.
“The purity of this gold is truly astonishing!”
Joslin was the leader of the trade caravan, so his experiences were quite rich.
Moreover, before he started trading, he was still an elite Vaegir horseman. If it was not for his bad luck and the fact that he did not have enough achievements, he would have long become the envy of everyone, a Vaegir knight.
However, during his trading and military career, Joslin had a very deep understanding of gold.
After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to Kant, “I think that each bag of gold here is worth 50,000 denars. If it was during wartime, such pure gold could be sold for 55,000 to 60,000 denars.”
“50,000 denars.”
Kant’s eyes lit up. This was the information he wanted to get.
Two bags of gold could make up for the amount of the loan.
There were six bags of gold here. If that was the case, it would be a huge sum of 300,000 denars!
“Yes.”
Joslin nodded and continued, “Gold is already a top currency in Caradia. The Nords are especially obsessed with gold. However, the denar is still made of silver, so it is more widely circulated.”
“I need to exchange i.,”, Kant said to Joslin. “When the trade caravan arrives, use this gold to make up for the loan and exchange it all for the denar. You will be responsible for it.”
“Understood.”, Joslin nodded.
However, as he said this, he looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.
Kant naturally saw his hesitation. He frowned and asked, “Joslin, you seem to have some suggestions?”
“This…”
Joslin’s expression was even more hesitant.
However, looking at Kant, he still made a decision and sighed at him, “Although it’s not good to say this, I still suggest not to trade these gold with the trade caravan of Reyvadin. It would be a huge loss.”
Kant was slightly stunned, he frowned and asked, “Tell me your reason.”
Joslin naturally would not lie to him.
The current leader of the trade caravan was already listed in the system’s troop class.
It meant that he was Kant’s loyal troop class.
“It’s like this. To be honest, this story is a little strange. If it wasn’t for you, I think I would never have told this secret.”
Joslin organized his words, he solemnly reported to Kant, “My family originated from the outer seas of Caradia. On a continent called Pendor, we were once a noble. However, my cousin was stripped of his noble title because he betrayed a powerful knight group. Our family members who came from the same clan were also implicated. We could only escape from Pendor and came to Caradia to avoid pursuit. Therefore, I have some understanding of Pendor.”
“Pendor Continent.”, Kant narrowed his eyes slightly. According to Joslin’s words, a traitor noble from Pendor who was also named Joslin immediately appeared in his mind. “You mean, the Joslin
who betrayed the Twilight Knight?”
“Lord Kant, you really know everything.”
Joslin nodded and said dejectedly, “That’s my cousin.”
“Ha.”, Kant snorted helplessly.
Thinking about the various continents in the MOD, Caradia was actually connected to Pendor.
This indeed made him feel a little funny.
However, since Joslin had told this story, Kant, who had the system as a cheat, did not refute it. He only said in a deep voice, “I won’t mind your past, just as I appreciate your talent!”
“Thank you for your trust!”, Joslin was very touched.
Kant asked calmly, “Then, what does this story have to do with gold?”
“You still have two empty trading caravans.”
Joslin replied, “When the people of Ravenstern appeared in your castle, I knew that this miracle land was actually connected to the Pendor Continent. The Pendor Continent is more prosperous than the continent of Caradia, so the demand for gold is also very high. Therefore, the price of gold can basically rise a lot.”
“It’s a trade caravan.”, Kant suddenly realized that there were indeed two empty trade caravans in his hands, so he asked, “Then can you be sure that the trade caravan will enter the Pendor Continent?”
The system’s introduction said that the destination of the trade caravan was random.
However, Joslin said firmly, “Yes!”
“Very well, in that case.”
Kant nodded and directly made arrangements for him. “Then you will be in charge of a single trade caravan. As long as you can open up the trade of the Pendor Continent, then I will remember your meritorious service!”
“I will do my best!”, Joslin said solemnly. “After coming to the land of miracles, I can freely pass through the passage between Caradia and here. However, I still have a kind of palpitation towards the Pendor Continent in my heart. If I want to, I may be able to pass through it at any time. No, I should be able to pass through it and return.”
“Yes.”, Kant nodded.
A plan had already appeared in his heart.
If the Pendor Continent could travel back, then all kinds of resources that originated from the Pendor Continent could be purchased wantonly. After all, compared to Caradia, the Pendor Continent had more resources!
And at this moment, a dialog box popped up on his retina.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ The leader of the trade caravan (Joslin) can enter the Pendor Continent through the space-time crystal wall. ]
[ Currently, there is an empty trade caravan that can be bound. ]
[ Yes/No? ]
This was a prompt from the system.
Kant did not hesitate at all and immediately chose in silence, “Bound!”
The dialog box refreshed.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ Currently, the trade caravan is bound to the Pendor Continent. ]
The system had already noted that there was a blank trade caravan bound to Pendor Continent and could travel there at any time.
“Very good.”
Kant nodded lightly. He had gained another trade route.
After all, Reyvadin’s trade caravan would only arrive in the first week of every month. Some things were more difficult to deal with. Now that there were more trade routes, it was easier to deal with them. There could be trade caravans coming and going every three weeks of every month.
Most importantly, the new Pendor trade caravan was the caravan that would make money for him!
Kant also had a blank trade caravan.
Similarly, he could randomly choose a city in a certain world and open up a trade route through the space-time crystal wall.
Since Joslin was still here, Kant did not hesitate. He directly communicated with the system in his mind and issued the order to use this trade route to randomly select a world and a city.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ Trade caravan binding, random drawing… ]
On the retina, the dialog box instantly listed out a huge round plate, similar to the time when the village was drawn.
Kingdom of Swadia, Kingdom of Rhodoks, Kingdom of Nords, Kingdom of Vaegirs, Kingdom of Sarrand Sultanate. Kingdom of Sarleon, Kingdom of Raventern, Kingdom of Fierzvi, Dasha tribe, Imperial Expeditionary Force, Kato tribe, and Nordo Elf Force. Even the Great Ming Empire, Manchurian Nuzhen, the Mongolian golden family, the Great Han Empire, the Hun Empire, Oda Nobunaga, Nagao Kagetora, the countries of southern Europe, the countries of Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, and even the countries of the Middle East, and so on.
All ages, all regions, all kinds of formal history or history, or fantasy world.
All exist on this disc.
This was the power contained in all of the MOD’s in “Mount and blade”!
The disc finally stopped.
The name of the power finally appeared.
[ Ding… system prompt ]
[ Your trade caravan has communicated with the Middle-earth continent, Fangorn Forest. ]
[ Fangorn Forest trade caravan has begun binding… ]
A rule appeared on his retina.
Kant was slightly stunned. Looking at the name of the fraction on it, it instantly appeared in his mind. Those seemingly lush ancient trees, but in fact, they were between life and plants, the ents.
They could indeed be considered as life, and they were even older than humans in the Middle-earth.
And the Fangorn forest originated from the oldest ent, and it was also the leader of all ents — Fangorn, which Kant understood from the information from “The lord of the Rings”, “Treebeard.”.
Back then, he was the one who had promised the Hobbit to lead his troops to defeat Isengard’s Saruman army.
In the MOD, the last day of the Lord of the rings, there was also such a force.
And it was a hidden force.
Who would have thought that after a random selection, Kant would actually choose the Fangorn Forest.
With the blessing of the system, it meant that Kant’s trade caravans were allowed to enter the Fangorn Forest, which was originally a place where strangers could not trespass. They could go there to do business and engage in economic exchanges with the ents.
Although the ents did not have so-called businesses or handicrafts, the Fangorn Forest had all kinds of mystical items.
For example, the natural spring water that could speed up the growth of vegetation.
If they were lucky, they could bring back the ents that were 6.7 meters tall. This would undoubtedly increase the number of ace troop class in Kant’s troop class. They could enter the Senwaya Range or take root in the Oasis Lookout and pretend to be big trees. However, at the crucial moment, they would engage in fight, it was enough to shake the enemy’s morale!
