"Which territory are you from?" Just as a few people were conversing, a voice of inquiry suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned and looked behind them, only to see a richly dressed young man looking at them on a white war horse, with guards and carriages following behind the young man.

"I have met the noble lord!"

"I have met the noble lord!"

Laurie and others were shocked and quickly saluted respectfully and offered their greetings.

"Get up! I heard that you are here to buy salt from Storm Territory?" This person was naturally Nalant. A team of this size passed by outside the castle, and the guards had already informed him of the matter.

Nalant didn't need to think too much. They were expected to be the team that came to Storm Territory to buy salt, so they immediately asked Thomas to load the goods into the truck, and Wheat Leaf Village came over.

"Yes, noble sir, we are from Black Rock Territory and came to Storm Territory to buy salt!" Laurie did not dare to neglect and answered immediately.

"Well, since we are doing business, there is no need to be nervous. My Storm Territory welcomes you to come and do business!" Nalant smiled warmer and reassured these people.

In any case, these people are the first batch to come to Storm Territory, and Nalant needs to make them feel safe when doing business in Storm Territory.

If you want to retain a caravan, in addition to sufficient benefits, a stable trading environment is also crucial.

"Yes, noble lord!" Laurie secretly raised his head and took a look at this kind lord. He had never seen any noble lord so approachable in the past.

"Thomas, this is the first time they come to Storm Territory, please receive them well!" Next, Nalant stopped participating. He knew that if he continued to stay here, these civilians would probably be trembling with fear.

After the explanation was completed, Nalant simply went to the shade and watched Thomas negotiate with the caravan.

"Ah, it's that adult from last time!" The moment Thomas appeared, the citizens of Laurie who were waiting for Black Rock Territory seemed to have found a backbone, because they had already had a transaction with Thomas last time, which made them inclined to trust Thomas from the bottom of their hearts.

"Everyone, I'm glad to see you again. Let me introduce myself again. I am Thomas, the castle steward of Storm Territory!"

"Nice to meet Mr. Thomas again!" After listening to Thomas's polite introduction, Bernie and others immediately responded respectfully.

"I'm curious, when you came to buy salt this time, didn't you bring some other goods to Storm Territory to sell?" Thomas asked with a smile.

"Ah, Master Thomas, I'm sorry, we came in a hurry and didn't know what Storm Territory was missing, so we didn't bring the goods!" Laurie and others immediately looked embarrassed.

In fact, it's not that they don't know what Storm Territory lacks, but they are worried that the people of Storm Territory are too poor and cannot afford to buy anything. When the time comes, the goods cannot be sold and they have to carry them back again, which will be troublesome.

Thomas didn't say anything when he saw this, and said with a smile, "Well, it does make sense, but after the salt sale is completed, you can go to Maiyechun for a walk. By the way, you can ask the villagers what they are short of, and you can try to bring some with you next time you come!"

"Although there are only more than a thousand people in Storm Territory, under the leadership of our Lord Nalant, they are not poor. They even eat meat every day during this period!"

"Ah, eat meat every day?" After hearing Thomas's words, people in the Laurie team immediately exclaimed. Even civilians like them cannot eat meat every day. It is hard to believe how those serfs Storm Territory did it.

However, looking at Thomas's serious expression, no one had any doubts.

After all, for such a thing, as long as the transaction is completed and you take a quick turn around Wheat Leaf Village, you can get the real answer.

The fish and meat Nalant gave to the serfs last time was enough to feed them for three or four months.

During this period of time, the serfs not only received a lot of rewards from various tasks arranged by Nalant, but also spent these days searching for sugar cane among the woods and grass. Nalant had already sent out more than two thousand Copper Coin.

It can be said that the citizens of Storm Territory are now unprecedentedly wealthy, but for the time being they have no channels for consumption because, for their safety, Nalant has banned everyone from going to Barony of Quinte.

"Okay everyone, you can inquire about it later in the town about bringing goods to Storm Territory to sell. Let's start trading the salt you need now!"

"It's the same as what I said last time. Now that you have arrived at Storm Territory, there are five Copper Coins per pack of salt, and ten Copper Coins per kilogram of dried fish. I wonder how many kilograms you need?"

"Sir Thomas, we need eight hundred bags of salt and one hundred kilograms of dried fish this time!" Storm Territory, Laurie and others came to this trip with a total of seven or eight people in partnership. They had great determination for this trip, and it can be said that they spent most of their wealth on this big gamble.

"Well, yes! Eight hundred bags of salt and one hundred kilograms of dried fish can be delivered on site. The salt and dried fish are on the carriage. You can check it. If it is correct, we will pay and deliver it!" Thomas nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Thomas!" Laurie and others immediately showed their gratitude. Before coming, they were a little worried about whether the goods they came to buy this time would be of the same quality as last time.

But if the goods can be inspected now, then there is no need to worry.

Moreover, this kind of inspection has never happened to other nobles. If you ask more questions, you may be greeted by the guards' fierce eyes.

Laurie and others immediately came to the carriage and looked at the baskets in the carriage. The opened paper bags above were all filled with the same salt as last time without a grain of sand.

"Sir Thomas, salt and dried fish are very good, we just want to buy this kind!" Laurie said excitedly.

"Very good, then I will arrange for someone to weigh you!"

What happened next was much simpler. Thomas and Laurie watched the salt being weighed at the same time and put into the serf baskets brought by Bernie.

While Laurie and Thomas were busy, Kerr kept spinning around the carriage, the tip of his nose kept twitching, sniffing something.

"What are you doing?" At this moment, Vivian beside the carriage couldn't stand it any longer, and he suppressed his smile and asked.

Kerr was startled. He was not nervous when he heard the voice of a woman.

But when he saw Vivian wearing leather armor and carrying a long bow on his back, he immediately recognized that this was the dress of a guard, and he couldn't help but whispered in a guilty voice, "Master guard, I... I didn't do anything, I just felt the fragrance! So I smelled it."

"Scent, are you talking about this Brown Sugar Black Bread?" Vivian stepped forward directly and opened the lids of the two wooden barrels at the back.

As soon as the lid was opened, the rich aroma of brown sugar immediately wafted out, instantly making Kerr stand on the spot as if under a restraining spell.
