Everyone was shocked by Yuri's words for a moment. They had no choice but to discuss how to divide the portion among each family.
For a time, the heads of the major nobles were arguing with each other with red faces and thick necks, all trying to get a smaller share for their families.
And Rick was listening to their argument and arguing endlessly, thinking that if too much time was wasted, it would not be in his interest to fight in the end.
So Rick also took the lead and set an example. "On behalf of the Church, I will offer a share of 50 pounds of gold. Don't waste your time anymore. If Dothraki gets impatient and launches an attack, I will let you take the lead!!!"
Everyone heard that the Church, the representative of Rick, also spoke, and they didn't say much. After all, the two major forces combined weighed 100 kilograms. If they talked more, they would be the first to bear the brunt of a war.
There was no other way. In the end, the big families scraped together and took out the remaining 300 kilograms of gold. Yuri and Rick felt relieved after seeing these stingy people paying for it.
Yuri and Rick immediately ordered their servants to go back and withdraw 50 kilograms of gold from their respective treasure houses.
Representatives of each major family also sent people back to get the gold.
After a while, the gold was delivered. Yuri ordered his men to find a few carriages and put all the gold on the carriages.
Eren saw the city gate open again after a long absence. Yuri led a carriage team to the front of his army. Next to the carriage was Unsullied, who was responsible for guarding.
Eren came forward with Modun and John. When Yuri saw Eren coming over, he immediately said, "Eren Khal, I have brought the gold!"
Eren looked at the carriages one after another and winked at Modun. Modun immediately understood and drove forward to check.
Modun carefully inspected each carriage one by one, and from time to time he would chop it with a knife to see if it was real gold.
After Modun finished the inspection, he rode Marley in front of Eren and said, "Khal, it's all real gold!"
This title of Khal was specifically given by Eren. At this stage, he does not want to reveal his desire to found a country and become king, lest Nine Free Cities alert the enemy.
After Eren saw Modun's confirmation, he immediately stepped forward and said to Yuri, "Very good, I accept your sincerity, but I still have a few requests, I hope your department can accept them!"
When Yuri heard that Eren had another request, he felt that he was a little disrespectful and said angrily, "Eren Khal, don't you think it's a bit too much? We have already given you 400 kilograms of gold, don't you think it's a bit too much for you to make demands!"
Eren smiled after listening to Yuri's words and said, "Yuri, don't be impatient. You should listen to my request first, and this time I will give you equal value for my request!"
After hearing what Eren said, Yuri felt that as long as he didn't continue to be a wolf with nothing, it would be fine. However, he was also curious about Eren's request, so he asked:
"Then Eren Khal, what else do you want?"
Eren stretched out his finger and gestured. "I have heard that Qohor's craftsmen are unparalleled in the world, and even have the technology to recast Valyrian steel. I am curious about this technology, and I hope you can trade some craftsmen who know this technology to me or can recast Valyrian steel's technology!"
Valyrian steel is a kind of magic-infused steel, very sharp, forged from the former Valyrians. It has unique powers and properties. The craftsmanship in its creation and the magical spell cast on it make this steel special.
The craftsmen of Valyria use repeated forging to balance and remove impurities in the steel, and then apply spells to add extraordinary properties to the steel. Moreover, Valyrian steel is light and hard, and is sharper than any other steel.
Eren Although Hardening now has the ability at hand, the weapons made with Hardening's ability are not inferior to Valyrian steel, but Valyrian steel is forged with magic.
Eren is very interested in the magic technology, and after attacking Slaver's Bay, Eren also captured a lot of weapons made by Valyrian steel. However, these weapons are mostly daggers or broken blades, and there are only a few really usable big swords or half-handed swords.
After coming to the Smith, Eren wanted to melt these daggers or broken blade fragments and recast them into weapons.
And wouldn't it be better if Valyrian steel's technology could be combined with Hardening's ability? This is why Eren asked for craftsmen, although there are no craftsmen who can forge Valyrian steel.
But there are still the Smith who can reforge. Even if they don't know the forging skills, it would be good to learn something from the reforging process.
Yuri was murmuring in his heart after hearing Eren's request, because Eren was the first Khal who was interested in Qohor's the Smith. Those Khal in the past were only interested in gold. Give them some gold and they will leave like crazy.
However, Yuri still asked, "Eren Khal, since you have heard of our Qohor craftsmen, you should also know their value. Although we Qohor have many craftsmen, there are only three craftsmen who can recast Valyrian steel, and it is not up to us to decide whether these people will stay or go. If any of them voluntarily go with you, then we have nothing to say, but you can only take one person with you!"
After listening to Eren, he also understood the difficulties of Yuri. Those who master the core technology are talents everywhere, and although he is a noble of Qohor, there are only a few people who can recast Valyrian steel, so it is best not to offend him.
However, Eren also knows what is most important to the Smith. The Smith wants to create a unique weapon and is extremely interested in unknown ores and metals.
Eren said directly to Yuri: "I also understand this. I hope that I can be given the opportunity to meet them and recruit them. I will personally lobby for them!"
After Yuri heard what Eren said, he immediately replied, "In that case, Eren Khal, then you wait here for a while, and I will go find the Smith!"
After saying that, Yuri wanted to leave in a hurry. When Eren saw Yuri was about to leave, he immediately stopped him and said:
"Yuri Don't leave yet, I have other requests!"
When Yuri heard what Eren said, he also tightened the reins in his hands, turned the horse around and said, "Eren Khal, please tell me if you have any other requests, I will handle it as appropriate!"
Yuri is also very smart. He only said to deal with it as appropriate, not necessarily. However, Eren didn't care and asked directly:
"Then let me tell you straight, I want to buy 2 million kilograms of grain from you. I need this grain to be mainly dry food that can be stored. I will pay you in gold!"
"In addition, I also want some brocade craftsmen from Qohor. I think these people won't be as difficult as the Smith!"
Yuri had only one thought in his mind after hearing what Eren said, good guy, I just gave you money, and you use the money I gave you to buy my things, how shameless.
