Chapter 193: This Favour Can Be Granted
After returning to the Tribe, Lu Shi had someone store the linen, then walked directly towards the Shaman’s wooden house.
At this time, the Spotted Deer Tribe happened to be holding their usual market, and Lu Lin was helping to handle some matters in the outer region.
Lu Shi stepped into the wooden house, his face showing respect as he spoke. “Shaman, we have returned. No one was injured, and there are no issues with the exchanged linen.”
“Good work. How was that Tribe?” Shaman Lu Shan was sitting upright at the stone table. It had only been a few days since they last met, but his face had gained more signs of ageing, with visibly more wrinkles around his eyes. Nevertheless, the authority he exuded was still strong enough to inspire awe in ordinary people.
“The Tribe that traded a large amount of linen with us is the Flame Dragon Tribe.” Lu Shi said, enunciating each word.
These past few days, they had been travelling quickly, hardly resting along the way. The usually serious Lu Shi also looked haggard.
“The Flame Dragon Tribe? Since when did they have so much linen? Weren’t they wiped out?” Shaman Lu Shan asked in surprise. He was familiar with the Flame Dragon Tribe. He had some interactions with their Shaman before, though it was only for exchanging goods, nothing deeper than that.
He had also heard that the Flame Dragon Tribe had been attacked by the Black Snake Tribe and should have fallen. Now, not only had they not fallen, but they were also offering linen, which they did not have before to exchange for dried meat. This naturally greatly piqued his interest.
“I was just as shocked when I first heard about this. But they are really the Flame Dragon Tribe.” Lu Shi said with a solemn expression, continuing, “As for why they have so much linen, I don’t know either.”
