Chapter 529: Mountain Barbarian Trade (Part 1)
April 25, 291 AD of the Britannia Empire.
Britannia Empire, northern border, Lygasus Mountains (Mountain Bra), mountain barbarian (Lake people) settlement area, Hellai tribe.
"Hey, Moka, is your face okay? Does it still hurt?"
"Well, it's okay. Tru, thank you for your concern." Moka pointed at the corners of his eyes, "It was painful for the first two days when the totem was tattooed, but it is gradually less painful now."
"Ah That's good."
The tall young man whom Moka called Tru continued to smile and said: "Our current wizard is very skilled. Since she became a wizard, we have never heard of anyone dying of infection after piercing the totem. Moka, you are also now Finally, I am officially a warrior of our Helai tribe. Being able to become a warrior at the age of 16 is really amazing, but it was not until I was 26 that I finally got the qualification to tattoo a totem on my face and become a warrior."
"Thank you for the compliment, Tohru." Moka said modestly, "Although I am already an official warrior, I am still young and immature. I still have many things to learn from you senior warriors."
"Hahahaha!" Tru laughed heartily, "Moka! You are indeed my favorite junior!"
Tohru laughed and patted Moka on the shoulder.
"Hiss...it hurts, Tohru."
Moka grinned and rubbed his shoulders while looking around: "True, are we the only two who went to the foot of the mountain to trade with the Brittanians this time?"
"How is that possible?" Tru said angrily, "To trade with the Brittanians at the foot of the mountain, you need at least three people. There is only one person who hasn't come yet."
"Then who is the other person who went with us to trade at the foot of the mountain this time?"
"It's Luge."
"Lu Ge?" Moka raised his eyebrows and said in a joking tone, "Does this guy who squats at home and read every day want to follow us to the foot of the mountain to trade with the Britannia people? It's a long way to go. And there are a lot of goods to be traded this time.”
Luge is the only son of Nalu, the leader of their Helai tribe. He is only 14 years old this year.
Although he is the son of the strongest warrior in their Helai tribe, Luge is nothing like his father.
Compared with his domineering father, Lu Ge has an elegant and gentle temperament.
Not only is his temperament completely different from his father, but in other aspects, Lu Ge is also completely different from his father.
For example - Luge's father Nalu is a well-known strong warrior. Whether it is the Helai tribe or other tribes, many people think that Nalu is the strongest warrior of each tribe of the Lake people.
Luge, however, does not seem to have inherited his father's strong physique.
Lu Ge does not have outstanding physical strength and physique, and his combat power and force are only mediocre.
However - Lu Ge has a very smart head.
Lu Ge has been called a child prodigy by people around him since he was a child. Not only can he speak when he is just over 1 year old, but he also has the ability to remember photographs.
Therefore, even among the Lake tribe, which values force, Luge, who is not good at force, is still respected by others in their Helai tribe.
At the same time, although Lu Ge is the son of the patriarch, he is kind and humble, and gets along very well with his peers. He is a very good friend with Moka.
"It's really been a long time since I saw Lu Ge." Moka looked helpless, "Ever since he got a book about Britannia, he has been addicted to this book. , has been sitting at home reading that book, and doesn’t even leave the house very often. Let me think about it... he must have been sitting at home for more than a month, right? Really, is the book so good? "
As soon as Moka finished speaking, a somewhat immature male voice came from behind him:
"It's so beautiful. That book is really exciting. After turning the first page, I couldn't help but fall in."
"Lu Ge?" Moka turned back and looked at the handsome young man who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and said angrily, "You are so slow. Tru and I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Sorry, sorry. Oh, it's just that I haven't been out for more than a month. Moka, you already have a totem tattooed on your face."
After saying that, Lu Ge raised his hand and poked the totem pierced under the corner of Moka's left eye.
"Hiss! It hurts!"
Moka slapped Luge's hand away.
"Don't touch it randomly, okay? The inflammation hasn't completely subsided yet..."
"Mhahaha, sorry, sorry. Let's go and trade with the Britannias."
"Yes." Tohru, who had not spoken since just now, nodded, "But - it's a long way to the trading point with the Britannia people, and the things we need to trade with the Britannia people this time are There are a lot of them, Lu Ge, can you do it?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Tru, don't underestimate me." Lu Ge patted his chest, "Although my physical strength is not as good as that of you warriors who can tattoo totems on their faces, but I I still have some confidence in my physical strength. I can still carry goods like animal skins and antlers back and forth to the trading point at the foot of the mountain."
"Well, that's good. Come on, let's each carry one. Luge, you can carry this slightly lighter animal skin. We'll try to get back to the tribe before lunch."
…
…
Tru, Luger, and Moka each carried a bag of goods to be exchanged with the Britannia people at the foot of the mountain, and walked towards the foot of the mountain with neither hurry nor slowness.
On the way to the foot of the mountain, the three of them chatted for a while.
"Lu Ge, Moka." Tru said to the two teenagers walking behind him, "Is this your first time to trade with the Britannia at the foot of the mountain?"
"Um. "
"This is the first time for Moka and I to trade with the Britannia at the foot of the mountain."
"Don't be surprised when you see the Britannia people." Tru said with a smile, "The Britannia people are much fairer than us, and their facial features are also a little different from ours."
"I won't be surprised." Moka said angrily, "I have heard this common sense from the elders in the clan countless times."
"By the way, Luge." Tru turned his attention to Luge, "I heard that - for this trade, you personally requested the clan leader to let you join in, right?"
"Well, that's right." Lu Ge admitted readily, "I personally went to beg my father to allow me to join this trade."
"Huh?" Moka looked at Lu Ge curiously, "Why, are you interested in this kind of hard work? Although it is my first time to go to the foot of the mountain to participate in trade, I heard from the elders in the clan, Trading with the Britannias at the foot of the mountain is hard and boring, not fun at all."
"I'm not interested in going to the foot of the mountain to trade with the Britannias." Lu Ge rolled his eyes at Moka, "I just read the book introducing the customs and customs of various countries in the mainland and learned about the outside of Mount Bra. I have a strong interest in the world, so I just plan to go down the mountain to have a look.”
