Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 278: Fangorn Forest of the Lord of the Rings

Soon, the spoils of war were carried over by the six knights.

There were six sacks in total, and they seemed to be quite heavy. They were carefully placed on the long table in the council hall.

These were the spoils of war that Kant had obtained from his journey this time.

After sweeping through the sacks and making sure that he had not missed anything, Kant nodded at the six Swadian knights and said, “You’ve worked hard. Go back and eat first. Rest well today. I will arrange for a two-day holiday for all of you.”

“Understood.”, the knights were delighted. They bowed respectfully and left the council hall.

After the journey, they needed to have a good rest.

In the “Drondheim” Castle, they could enjoy the comfortable life brought about by the holiday.

This was the benefit of increasing their strength.

Kant did not care. In fact, after he rested for the night, he had to continue his busy administrative work the next day. After all, after leaving for two weeks, the current “Drondheim” Castle still needed to be adjusted slightly, for example, he could only personally handle the various trivial matters in the system.

But now, it was better to deal with these spoils of war as soon as possible. The feeling of being in debt was very uncomfortable, not to mention that it was a loan to the Kingdom of Vaegirs. Kant waved his hand and said, “These are the things.”

“Please allow me to look through them.”, Joslin replied.

“As you wish.”, Kant said.

Joslin stood up and went to the six bulging sacks.

He reached out and opened them. Golden yellow appeared in front of his eyes. They were all strips of gold with exquisite and mysterious engravings on them. He opened the sacks one by one and found that they were all made of this kind of gold.

The circular candlestick above his head emitted a light that illuminated the gold in the sacks below.

“The purity of this gold is truly astonishing!”

Joslin was the leader of the trade caravan, so his experiences were quite rich.

Moreover, before he started trading, he was still an elite Vaegir horseman. If it was not for his bad luck and the fact that he did not have enough achievements, he would have long become the envy of everyone, a Vaegir knight.

However, during his trading and military career, Joslin had a very deep understanding of gold.

After pondering for a moment, he raised his head and said to Kant, “I think that each bag of gold here is worth 50,000 denars. If it was during wartime, such pure gold could be sold for 55,000 to 60,000 denars.”

“50,000 denars.”

Kant’s eyes lit up. This was the information he wanted to get.

Two bags of gold could make up for the amount of the loan.

There were six bags of gold here. If that was the case, it would be a huge sum of 300,000 denars!

“Yes.”

Joslin nodded and continued, “Gold is already a top currency in Caradia. The Nords are especially obsessed with gold. However, the denar is still made of silver, so it is more widely circulated.”

“I need to exchange i.,”, Kant said to Joslin. “When the trade caravan arrives, use this gold to make up for the loan and exchange it all for the denar. You will be responsible for it.”

“Understood.”, Joslin nodded.

However, as he said this, he looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.

Kant naturally saw his hesitation. He frowned and asked, “Joslin, you seem to have some suggestions?”

“This…”

Joslin’s expression was even more hesitant.

However, looking at Kant, he still made a decision and sighed at him, “Although it’s not good to say this, I still suggest not to trade these gold with the trade caravan of Reyvadin. It would be a huge loss.”

Kant was slightly stunned, he frowned and asked, “Tell me your reason.”

Joslin naturally would not lie to him.

The current leader of the trade caravan was already listed in the system’s troop class.

It meant that he was Kant’s loyal troop class.

“It’s like this. To be honest, this story is a little strange. If it wasn’t for you, I think I would never have told this secret.”

Joslin organized his words, he solemnly reported to Kant, “My family originated from the outer seas of Caradia. On a continent called Pendor, we were once a noble. However, my cousin was stripped of his noble title because he betrayed a powerful knight group. Our family members who came from the same clan were also implicated. We could only escape from Pendor and came to Caradia to avoid pursuit. Therefore, I have some understanding of Pendor.”
