When Einar looked at Darían and his father, he was surprised to see them speak so casually.


    But what caught his attention the most was seeing the monk''s robes that he had, for Darían did not appear to be a monk or at least one who followed in the same footsteps as monks like Duncan and Angus.


    Darían, when noticing Einar''s look he looked at him with a smile as he greeted him with a handshake "I see that you have grown a lot young Einar, and I can also see that you have changed your style to a quite nice one.


    I think I could change my beard like you have it cut off. "


    Einar only paused for a few seconds before smiling back "It''s a good beard trim, but I think we''ll have to introduce ourselves again, as I lost my memories a while ago after a blow to the head."


    Darían was surprised by Einar''s words, so he turned his head and watched as Sven nodded.


    "I think I appreciate what you told me but you should know that this is a dangerous world and that information can be used to deal with you."


    Einarughed "I know, but that day I also won something that put me at a clear advantage. Enemies are always free toe but in the same way.


    I will be prepared for whates, also the first rule for fair trade is trust between the two parties.


    Plus, what I said will answer your questions when you see how much the tribe has changed, but I''d like to ask you two questions. "


    With some curiosity, Darían looked at Einar "Very well, you aroused my curiosity, but you should know that I will not answer anything rted to my city because that information could be used to harm my home."


    Einar nodded and stroked his mustache "The first question is, why do you wear a monk''s robe when you don''t act like one?


    Don''t get me wrong, but you don''t seem like someone who follows a doctrine in a monastery. "


    Darían looked at his clothes and sighed "This monk''s habit was an imposition of my father. Perhaps you know it or have forgotten about it.


    But where Ie from is a city-state that is independent of the surrounding kingdoms. Our city was founded since the fall of the Roman Empire.


    Our founder was a Christian monk named Angelo. He refused to return to the continent and organized the poption and the soldiers who did not want to return.


    With their help, what was once a guard post on Hadrian''s wall became a fairlyrge city that has remained neutral throughout the centuries.


    Although there have been attempts to conquer our city, the walls, and soldiers of ournd have managed to endure through all the invasions.


    But why my father forces me to wear this monk''s habit is because the city is governed by a council of monks, which is made up of seven families who helped Angelo establish the city.


    Each of the families rotates control of the city. Currently, my father is the leader of the city, as one of our ancestors was a founding member of the council.


    So I, as a representative of my family, have to wear a monk''s habit. "


    Einar was quite surprised because he was sure that there had not existed a city with the characteristics that Darían had said.


    But he couldn''t say anything either, since his mere existence was already an error in time.


    "Although I would like to ask you more about your city and future cooperation, I think that would be forter.


    Now I am interested in asking you if you can sell ves or, failing that, a poption that is homeless. "


    Darían was surprised by Einar''s question and pointed to one of his ships "Although we do not have ves within the city, the kingdoms that surround us will not hesitate to sell to their surplus poption or those who cannot pay their debts.


    On that ship I have 35 artisan ves who lost their freedom because they could not pay their debts, they all belonged to a nearby kingdom.


    But why are you asking? "


    Einar showed a face full of happiness "As you can see, our ind is gigantic but we need a poption. Of course, you will be paid for each person you can bring along with their families."


    Darían showed a lot of interest in Einar''s proposal so he crossed his arms "I may be interested, but tell me why I should ept."


    Einar shed a wicked smile and walked over to one of the warriors who had with him a horn they used to store liquor.


    "Would you allow me to have your horn with liquor, I will reward you with two jugs of liquor in the great hall."


    The warrior did not even think about it and gave him his horn with liquor. Already with the horn in his hand, Einar approached Darían and gave it to him.


    "Taste the content of the horn. As you are the first merchant you can enjoy a long-term deal to sell this drink in your city.


    Of course, you should try it first so you can see what a deal with us is worth. "


    Darían looked at the horn with some curiosity, and when he removed the lid, a strong aroma of alcohol came out of the horn. This made him frown, as it seemed to be a stronger drink than beer.


    Without fear and with enough curiosity Darían, he drank the contents of the horn and at that moment he felt a sensation of heat go down his throat to his stomach.


    He didn''t realize it, but he ended up drinking all the herbal liquor. After that, he cleaned his mouth and felt the taste of herbs in his mouth.


    <em></em>


    <em>''This drink is way too addictive. If I can get a deal so I can sell it, it''ll be pretty good for the family.''</em>


    <em></em>


    Darían then handed the horn to Einar "Your drink is too good. I think if you only want people, I can fulfill your requests."


    Einar showed a face full of satisfaction and looked seriously at Darían "I will need people and beer at a special price if you can meet those requirements.


    We can make an advantageous deal for both of us, In addition, I would also like to ask for a stable trade route between us which does not stop throughout the year.


    I think it would be something that would benefit everyone, but if you are not sure you can always wait to see what we can do.


    But I can assure you that all our products should be to your liking. "


    Darían scratched his beard and looked at Einar before sighing "Einar, I have to admit that you have improved a lot in everything I knew you despite having lost your memory.


    Although I am curious to know that you won, I think it is best that I see it for myself, in terms of a deal for the trade.


    It will depend on what I can see in the days toe, but I''ll tell you my answer before you know it.


    Now I would like you to tell me where to ce the merchandise because I don''t want the humidity from the sea to end up damaging the product, more than it should."


    Einar pointed to arge warehouse that was a few meters from the ce "You can ce your merchandise in that ce. As for the payment for the merchandise, you will have to wait for the chest to be brought to be able to do it.


    I just hope you can ept emeralds as paid. "


    They would take a deep breath and he stretched out his hands "I can ept anything as paid, but if you have emeralds, it will take a little longer because I have to review one by one why the price may vary.


    For example, arge, bright-colored emerald may cost 5 gold coins, while a small, light green emerald may cost 5 silver.


    These are the overall costs for veryrge emeralds the cost may increase while for very small emeralds the cost may be less. "


    Einar at that time was surprised by the cost of the emeralds but did not show any emotion, so he walked to where Eskol was and ordered him to take some of the warriors to the great hall.


    So that they will help bring the small chest with emeralds that I had prepared in case a merchant arrives.


    <em>''100 emeralds should be enough to pay the full cost of the goods, if I do a small average of the cost of the emeralds using the costs you gave me, it should be more than enough.</em>


    <em></em>


    <em>But I guess I have to wait for him to tell me how much we will have to pay to find out how the value of the emerald is measured. ''</em>


    While they waited, a group of ves arrived with chairs and tables. They also brought with them beautiful ss dishes.


    Seeing the ssware, Darían was surprised, so he sat down on a chair and began to see the beautiful design of the ss in front of him.


    "This is quite a fancy ss craft and has a nice green color to look at. If it''s not a bother I''d like to know where they got this high-quality ss from."


    Einar, who had already sat down, showed a smile and poured Darían some herbal liqueur in a ss tumbler.


    "This ss is a creation of the tribe. It is one of the products that I n to sell, but I think that at the moment we should only enjoy the liquor while we wait for the food to be ready."


    Darían took the ss from Einar''s hand and drank some liquor before looking at Einar rather curiously.
