Chapter 638 - 638 Niu Dali
638 Niu Dali
Ancient demonic god patterns appeared on the pillars. They were vast, ancient, and terrifying.
At this moment, it was walking over with a big smile.
Behind it were Tauren warriors. All of them were exuding an astonishing aura.
With one look, one could tell that they were elites who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Once they charged, they could destroy and crush all enemies.
“This should be the chief of the Earth Tribe, right? I’m Han Sui, the special envoy sent by the Human race Kingdom of Dawn. Greetings, chief of the Earth Tribe.” Han Sui was shocked when he saw the huge Tauren in front of him, but he did not show any change on his face. He was as calm as water. He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
His every move was polite and well-mannered, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Alright, I’m the chief of the Earth Tribe. You can just call me Niu Dali.” The tall and sturdy Tauren grinned.
“Greetings, Chief Dali.” Han Sui once again formally saluted.
This meant that both parties were officially meeting and contacting each other.
“Good stuff! It’s all good stuff! There’s still too little salt. I’ve gotten some in the past from your Human race. The salt mountains we’ve reclaimed are unpalatable. Your salt is still the best. Thank your Country Lord for me.”
Niu Dali looked at the dozens of carts of supplies in front of it, especially the salt in wooden barrels. It was smiling so widely that its eyes were almost squinted. It appeared to be quite exciting and happy.
There was a lot of salt in the vicinity. It could be eaten after mining and boiled in water to have a little taste. However, there were too many impurities in it, so it had a bitter taste and was hard to swallow. If they wanted to make salt, they could only make extremely crude black and yellow salt. It couldn’t even be considered coarse salt and couldn’t be compared to the salt produced by the Human race at all.
The salt in the Kingdom of Dawn was produced by modern technology. Not only were there no impurities, but the color was also as white as snow. The taste was very authentic and the effect was best when cooking.
There were two large barrels of salt placed in front of the Taurens.
When Niu Dali and the rest saw the snow-like salt, they swallowed their saliva.
“Don’t stand on ceremony, Chief Niu. My Country Lord has said that the Earth Tribe has always been kind to others and is a friend of my Human race. These things are just meeting gifts for the tribe. If the chief is willing, we can open a mutual market and trade with each other for mutual benefits.”
With a faint smile, Han Sui said, “Our Human race not only has salt, but we also have high-quality wine, fine silk, and all kinds of fine weapons. We even have medicinal pills, fine porcelain, and food for cultivation. We don’t lack anything. All of these could be traded. Whereas you have all kinds of fierce beast furs and some items that we humans don’t have. We can trade them for mutual benefits.”
His words made it clear that these items were only the tip of the iceberg for the Human race. As long as the trade fair was open, everyone could become friends and buy whatever they wanted. They didn’t need to worry about these things at all. Things like salt could be bought at any time.
“Haha! Well said! How can an important guest stand here? Come, let’s go to the tribe first. I’ll let you taste the specialty of the Earth Tribe. That’s good stuff. We have high-quality milk here, and the milk wine we make is even better.”
Niu Dali’s eyes immediately lit up when it heard this, and it hurriedly said with an unconcealed look of joy on its face.
Although the Taurens were simple and honest, they were not idiots.
However, everything that Han Sui had said was too tempting for them. During this period, the Human race had been bouncing. They had opened the frontier trade when they were suppressing the Bug plague. The various good things from the Human race made countless foreign races tempted. Now that the Human race had the intention to open a trade fair with their tribe, they immediately became extremely excited.
This was a good thing! A great thing!
This was a very important guest. He had to be treated well.
“General Chen, take your soldiers and stay here temporarily. I’m going to pay a visit to the Earth Tribe to discuss the matter of the frontier trade.” Han Sui immediately went with the flow and agreed to Niu Dali as he told Chen Qingfeng.
“Yes sir!”
Chen Qingfeng nodded his head and looked at Han Sui with admiration.
This opening method was very clever. First, he moved the Taurens with gifts and lured out the chief of the Earth Tribe. Then, he made the Earth Tribe put down their guard by mentioning the matter of the trade fair. As long as the trade fair was reached, the relationship between the two sides would immediately undergo a fundamental change.
This method seemed simple, but it was directly aimed at the heart.
Starting with the Tauren tribe’s needs, he approached them to step by step and finally achieved his goal of allying with them.
“The methods of the political strategists are all invisible, and they achieve their goals unknowingly. This method is truly inconceivable.” Chen Qingfeng secretly praised in his heart.
Anything could become a bargaining chip in the hands of the political strategists, and they could use it to achieve their goals.
However, this time, his mission was only to ensure Han Sui’s safety. Other matters of negotiation had nothing to do with him. Only Han Sui had the authority to negotiate all kinds of treaties about opening the frontier trade.
Han Sui followed beside Niu Dali and headed toward the Earth Tribe under the escort of a large group of Taurens. A group of Taurens excitedly carried the supplies placed outside. When they were holding the things, their mouths were wide open, full of joy.
Some Taurens even subconsciously pinched a bit of salt with their fingers and put it in their mouth. They licked it and their faces were full of enjoyment.
These were good things. With these things, their good days were coming.
“Chief Niu, I see that there is a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. They seem to be on guard for something. Is there someone who is an enemy of your tribe?” Han Sui looked around and kept seeing the dense guards, so he casually asked.
“Hmph! It’s all because of those d*mn stinky Werewolves. Sooner or later, we’ll exterminate these bugs that are hiding in the dark.” Hearing this, Niu Dali’s face turned gloomy and it let out a cold snort.
“So it’s Werewolves. They have a deep blood feud with our Human race. Many of our people have been killed or eaten by them. Some time ago, when the Country Lord returned, they had set up ambushes along the way and attacked him. It was abominable. If there’s a chance, our Human race will also take revenge for this blood debt.”
When Han Sui heard this, a look of anger immediately appeared on his face, as if he had a common enemy.
Hearing this, Niu Dali felt even closer. They were friends since they had a common enemy. As they conversed, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Soon, the group entered the Earth Tribe.
The Earth Tribe didn’t have any special buildings, just a huge fence surrounding it. The houses they built were quite large. Although the structure was rough, they were strong and durable.
