Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One: The Entrustment Fee Must Be Paid Separately

The city lord lives in a fortress on the west side of the Heskama. In the city close to the barren land, the city lord lives not as comfortable as the city lord's mansion in other cities, but rather it is more like a military base.

Chu and Mann walked into the fortress under the soldiers. Torches were lit on both sides of the fortress, but even so, the corridor seemed a little dark. It was not until they walked into a hall that the surroundings were light up, and a man was sitting in the seats in the hall waiting for them.

When entering the city of Heskama, the soldiers who were traveling with Mann and Chu had already informed the wolves about the matter. After learning about the incident, the city lord proposed to meet them, and he had some things to talk to them.

After the soldiers brought the two of them, they bowed and left the hall. Only then did Mann have the opportunity to observe the people in the hall. The city lord looked about thirty years old, but the stubble on his chin and a thin face made him look much older, but his figure was very burly and tall.

Unlike Mann's impression, the city lord in the hall was wearing armor and even a sword around his waist. This didn't look like a city lord at all, but more like a general.

"Your friends from afar are welcome."

The city lord didn't care about Mann's secretly looking at his eyes. He opened his hands and said, his voice was thick and powerful, just like the sound of a frontier war drum.

"My name is Heskama, and I am the lord of this city."

Mann was stunned for a moment, Heskama, the name is the same as the name of this city.

As if seeing through Mann's thoughts, Heskama, who was sitting in the seat, smiled gently.

"I understand your doubts. My name is indeed the same as the name of this city, or my family has the same name for generations. Because my ancestors swore to the king of the kingdom hundreds of years ago that they would guard this city for generations and use our lives. So my family was given the name of this city, and we have been stationed here for a long time and have never left."

It is indeed not an exaggeration to call Mann a child by Hiskama's age. He is probably almost as old as Mann's father.

When Mann heard this, he was stunned. He was so embarrassed that he could not go anywhere for generations to guard here. If it were him, he would never agree to such a vow. It would be too boring to be able to stay in one place and spend his whole life.

Heskama had already guessed what he was thinking when he looked at Mann's expression, and continued to smile.

"You are younger than I thought, you are very adventurous. I never thought of traveling far on the mainland when I was just like you."

"Of course." Mann grinned, he had a good impression of the city lord.

After chatting with Mann, Heskama looked at Chu next to Mann again. He seemed to have noticed Chu's aura that was different from ordinary people, and then said after thinking about it.

"You are the wolf-killing adventurer."

Chu didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"I once again express my gratitude to you for my soldiers. You saved their lives and their families will be grateful to you."

Xiskama slowly put his right hand on his chest and bent down Xiang Chu.

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Chu, with an unconcealed look of praise in his eyes: "You are a beautiful and powerful person. If I had children, I might have engaged you for him."

"I'm sorry." Chu opened her mouth and imitated her mouth when talking to people other than Mann.

"If that's the case, I can only refuse."

"Haha, that's really a pity." Xiskama smiled heartily. Chu was a powerful person, but at least for now, she did not have the weird temper of those people.

This made Xiskama a little lucky, at least this would allow him to make his request better in the future.

Yes, when he saw that the two had a purpose, he was ashamed that he could not meet them with simple thanks, but now it is indeed an extraordinary period.

After chatting, he is about to get to the point.

"Listen to my soldiers, are you two merchants from the east?" Xiskama said to Mann and Chu.

"Yes." Mann's eyes lit up, and he knew that it was a good opportunity to sell his products.

"We heard that you were short of supplies, so we brought some food to you."

"We are in a remote place, and the supply of the kingdom is indeed not timely enough." Xiskama nodded, not denying Mann's words, and food is indeed what they need.

"I wonder how much food you brought?"

When he said this, Mann's face turned red and he grabbed his head. He originally planned to sell it to the military commander of the city, but he didn't expect to meet the city lord directly.

On such occasions, the goods in his carriage were indeed a bit inconspicuous.

"Hehe." Mann smiled awkwardly, stretched out a finger and said, "We're bringing these."

"Huh?" Xiskama was stunned for a moment. His soldiers did not tell him how many people the little merchant was brought with him: "Is a business group?"

"Cough, no, no." Mann became even more embarrassed and coughed dryly.

"A caravan?" Xiskama thought for a while and asked again.

"Slightly, less." Mann said with his brow raised, "We brought a carriage."

······

In the hall, Xiskama's face was a bit subtle, a carriage, which was probably the smallest business he had ever talked about.

After a while, he took out a gold coin from his arms with some amusement and said.

"Every bit of food was precious during the war, and if you don't mind, I'd like to buy it from you in my personal name."

When Mann saw the gold coins in the city lord's hand, he saw that the unique light of the merchant suddenly lit up, and nodded repeatedly and said.

"Oh, of course, I'm very willing to provide you with these precious foods."

Listening to his stingy words, he stood aside and glanced at his mouth. It is worthy of being a sin called greed. He has already shown the style of a profiteer at such a young age.

Heskama nodded, stood up from his seat, and walked towards Mann.

At this time, I first realized that his legs and feet seemed to be inconvenient. He must have suffered some injuries, and his injuries have not been cured yet.

Xiskama handed the gold coins to Mann and said, "Then my guards will come to you to get the goods from now on, and these will be treated as deposits."

The deposit, Mann tried hard to endure the corner of his mouth. He originally planned to buy two to three large silver coins for this cargo, but now the deposit is beyond his expectations.

"No problem, no problem at all." Looking at Mann's face as a profiteer, Chu took a step back slightly.

"Also." Xiskama stood in front of the two of them and lowered her head solemnly.
