Lord of the Oasis

"No problem, Lord Kant."

The caravan leader put down the sheepskin scroll and said hesitantly: "Oil, tools, and linen, these materials are all available in the caravan, but in terms of price, they are a bit expensive."

"How much does it add up to?" Kant didn't care.

"2 cans of oil 1,000 dinars, 10 tools 2,000 dinars, 5 pieces of linen 1,000 dinars."

The caravan leader finished the price statistics, looked at Kant and hesitated: "The total is 4,000 dinars, but I can discount, you only need to pay 3,800 dinars to take these goods."

"3800 dinars?"

Kant touched his chin, this is indeed a lot of money.

But he lightly smiled and said, "Then, I'll trade dates for things, is that okay?"

"sure."

The leader of the caravan was slightly stunned, but nodded, and after thinking about it, he said, "But we only need high-quality dates like before, and we need 76 baskets in total."

1 date palm tree can harvest 2 baskets of date palms.

There are now 120 date palm trees in Kant, representing 240 baskets of date palms.

Calculated at 50 dinars per basket, it is equal to 12,000 dinars, which is why Kant is very confident and dares to buy so many things directly.

If the current Zhivadin caravan has enough dinars, Kant dares to directly turn it all into cash!

It is a pity that this caravan has no more than 3,000 dinars at most.

Only in exchange for things.

"76 baskets of dates, no problem at all."

Kant nodded with a smile and agreed directly. After all, last week, 200 farmers worked hard for two days and finally finished picking all the 100 date palm trees.

The 200 baskets of dates are all dried on linen, turning it from fresh to dried.

Eating is definitely not enough.

The most important thing is to exchange things for things and become the most scarce materials in the Sentinel Oasis.

Now that the communication has been completed, the supplies that Kant needs are moved out on the carriage.

And 76 baskets of date palms were also piled up at the door of the grocery store, so full that the road was about to be blocked, and the sentinels who were acting as laborers were also quickly stacking the dates in the carriage.

Basket after basket, these dates are stacked on the wagon.

Three carriages swallowed all the 76 baskets of dates, which is absolutely impossible in reality.

Looking at the arrangement of the goods that did not change at all, Kant also thought about it in his heart. It is definitely that the system has the technology of space folding, otherwise 76 baskets of dates can be loaded by 5 carriages.

"Then say goodbye."

Before leaving, the caravan leader still respectfully said to Kant: "Lord Kant, thank you for your hospitality this week, if there is no accident, we will meet again next month, and then I will bring more of your needs. goods."

"See you next month." Kant nodded.

The two sides waved goodbye, and then the Zhivadin caravan set off again, and the three carriages slowly walked out of the dunes.

There are still 1 caravan leader, 6 caravan guards, and 12 sentries.

Going around the dunes, it disappeared like an illusory shadow, and after passing through the mighty power of the system, he returned to the Calradia continent and headed towards the town of Zhivadin in Vikia.

Kant is naturally not surprised by this.

The system has always been like this.

"Come some people."

Kant turned his head and shouted, and 10 Swadian militiamen came over quickly.

He pointed to the supplies on the street and instructed them: "Move these supplies back to the storage room of the Consulate Hall, and be careful not to break the fragile items."

"Understood." The 10 Swadian militiamen nodded.

Working together, they carefully carried the materials left by the caravan.

The fragile product that Kant said is naturally oil in a clay pot. This kind of thing with a unit price of 500 dinars is a luxury item. It is a high-quality animal fat. It can not only be eaten, but also can be used to maintain weapons or be used as ignition thing.

The commoners can't afford it. These are all strategic materials, and they are good things that every lord must hoard.

For Kant, there is another use.

"Since my father still has feelings for me, he may be able to tentatively contact the Principality of Lions."

Frowning slightly, Kant is also thinking.

Sticking to the Naron Desert and developing secretly is of course the main body of his plan, but it is impossible to completely stay in this barren desert and completely cut off contact with the Principality of Lions.

At least the salt mines that will be occupied in the future need a market.

And the only market is precisely the Principality of Lions.

Moreover, in the production of white salt, charcoal is used as fuel and filter material, which plays an essential role. Except for the junction of the Naluun Desert and the Principality of the Lion, there is a large amount of wood in the Sangwaya Mountains. Kant can't find it anywhere else. kinds of materials.

The 10 iron tools I bought are actually 10 logging axes made of fine iron.

Kant naturally has arrangements.

Ask the Swadian peasants to go to a more secluded part of the Sunwaya Mountains and build a lumber mill.

At the same time, let the desert robbers go to the salt mine to steal the original coarse salt from the saline-alkali land.

Although the cost is quite high, as long as the scale is formed, the finest white salt is produced and sent to the Principality of the Lion, a virtuous circle can basically be formed, and the profit is unimaginable!

"Da da da…"

The rapid sound of hoofs came to my ears.

Kant looked up, and at the dunes in the northeast, more than a dozen cavalrymen were coming on horseback.

His face didn't change.

This is not an enemy, but Fatis and the 17 elite desert robbers who have just returned from investigating the surrounding situation.

Three essential patrols in the morning, noon and evening every day.

Although the Sentinel Oasis has watchtowers, the view is limited after all.

Let these light cavalrymen go, go directly into the desert and conduct reconnaissance to see if there are any unusual footprints on the sand. If there is an abnormal situation, it can be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Call-"

Fatis came back with the cavalry, restrained the horse under his crotch, and slowed down.

Seeing that Kant was standing at the intersection of the street to inspect, he quickly turned over and dismounted, and saluted respectfully: "Good morning, Lord Kant."

"Morning, Fatis."

Kant nodded and swept over the 17 sturdy desert robbers at the same time: "Didn't find anything unusual?"

"No, everything is safe."

With a smile on the corner of Fatis' mouth, he said with relief: "This is the best."

"Of course." Kant nodded as well.

Now is the development stage, if the gnolls are still entangled, it will be really uncomfortable for Kant.

As the victor, Kant temporarily took the initiative.

And one of the fruits of victory also includes time.

As long as Kant can make "Dehrim" develop rapidly in this short period of time and have the strength to fight against the gnoll tribe, everything will be fine.

Kant has no doubts.

Victory belongs to him in the end.

"Besides, I still have three salvos that I haven't used."

Taking a long breath, Kant is also full of confidence.

The 3 salvos of 500 Vicia marksmen were absolutely overwhelming arrows.

After all, he is the strongest archer and uses the best conical arrows. For those gnolls without armor and shields, facing such a rain of arrows, the final result is heavy losses.

If Kant's three volleys are used well, it can almost be worth the charge of the 50 squire knights before.

"Fatis."

Thinking of this, Kant couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Please speak, Lord Kant." Fatis responded immediately.

However, Kant was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head to look at Fatis, and asked in a condensed voice, "If we attack the gnoll tribe in an all-round way with our current strength, what do you think the winning rate is?"

"Uh..." Fatis couldn't help but be stunned.

Obviously, he had no idea at all about Kant's wild ideas.

In other words, Fatis knew the size of his troops, with less than 100 soldiers, and only close to 300 peasants as auxiliary soldiers. It was really whimsical to directly attack the large tribe of more than 2,000 gnolls.

But at this moment, the system prompt suddenly appeared on Kant's retina.
