Chapter 89: Hardship Village

The bay near Hardship formed a natural deep-water harbor and was rich in various resources. As a result, the place almost developed into a savage town, governed by several tribal leaders. The timber merchant that Vika mentioned before obtained the huge timber from here.

In Hardship, the sun shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle like tiny pieces of gold. The originally peaceful and peaceful savages were busy each other in an orderly manner. Suddenly, someone pointed in the distance and shouted in panic: "Look! What is that?" Everyone turned their heads and saw dozens of huge ships suddenly appearing on the sea. , like towering mountains.

The crowd instantly fell into chaos, with shouts and screams coming and going, intertwining into a noisy piece of music.

"What's going on?"

"Is it the crow's ship?"

"Go and inform the leader!"

The people fled in all directions, some hurriedly ran home to grab their weapons, while others ran wildly in the direction of the leader.

Gavin stood on the bow of the Belerys, looking at the chaotic wildling gathering on the shore in the distance. He turned to Daenerys and said: "You will stay on the Belerys in a while. When I am not around, , the fleet obeys your orders."

Daenerys frowned and said with a worried look on her face: "Gavin, I always feel that there will be danger. You'd better ride the Blazing Shadow over there."

Gavin said with relief: "Don't worry, it's just a business. Besides, riding the Blazing Shadow will easily cause those savages to have an overreaction."

Afterwards, Gavin took several Blood Dragon Guards and captains in three small boats and rowed slowly towards Hardhome.

The savages on the shore looked at the three boats coming in. They all clenched their weapons and gathered towards the shore, staring at Gavin warily.

As Gavin stepped ashore, the savages looked at their team of only a dozen people and relaxed slightly, but they still surrounded Gavin tightly and had no intention of leaving.

Gavin looked around calmly and saw a group of savages in the distance struggling to push through the crowd and striding towards here.

As the wildlings moved out of the way, Gavin's eyes were fixed on a woman walking at the front. It looked like the female leader who would cooperate with Jon Snow in evacuating the wildlings in the future. As for her name, Gavin thought for a moment. Unable to get up, he thought to himself: She must be the rightful owner.

The woman was tall and slender, with sharp eyes like an eagle. She was wearing a dress made of thick fur.

She walked straight to Gavin, looked him up and down, and said coldly: "People from the south, why did you come to our territory?"

Gavin bowed slightly and said politely: "Hello madam, my name is Gavin Bellerith. I bring enough food, sophisticated weapons and some living supplies, and I want to exchange some goods with the free people."

The woman snorted coldly when she heard this: "Hmph, I hope you are telling the truth. There were merchants coming here to trade before, but there were also many people with evil intentions who wanted to rob free people and make them slaves. Now those people are eaten by the Thenns. It’s gone, I advise you to put away other thoughts here.”

Gavin smiled and nodded: "Madam, I only brought a dozen people here this time, which is enough to show my sincerity. What do you call them?"

The woman said with a cold expression: "Just call me Osha. Come with me, you southerner."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the depths of the camp. Seeing this, Gavin also led others to follow closely behind.

Osha led Gavin and his team to walk in the camp. Gavin looked around and saw that the surrounding environment was extremely simple. Some roughly built shacks were scattered in disorder, and simple tools were placed haphazardly. Several dirty savage children ran over curiously and watched Gavin and his party.

After a while, they came to a large wooden house.

Osha motioned to Gavin to wait here, and then walked in.

Gavin stood quietly outside the door, and the low voices of conversation coming from inside the house could be faintly heard. After a while, Osha came out and invited Gavin into the house.

There was a strong bonfire burning in the center of the hall, and several savage leaders were sitting around it, all looking at Gavin. One of the leaders was the first to ask: "Southerners, tell me, how many furs do you want to exchange for from us, and how much food do you have?"

After hearing this, Gavin responded: "Dear leaders, I am not here for furs, but in exchange for giant trees that can be used to build ships."

Hearing Gavin's words, the leaders looked at each other and looked at each other. One of them couldn't help but frowned and said: "Wood? Someone did come here to exchange for it before, but the wood was brought by the giants. There is no stock here now. If If you need it, you can only go to the Giant, but the Giant is not in Hardhome now."

Gavin looked calm, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I want you to help me contact those giants, and I am willing to pay a certain amount of reward for this. As long as the other party is willing to trade with me, I will also offer another generous reward to express my gratitude. grateful."

Another leader touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully: "That sounds good. How much can you give?"

Gavin continued: "Half a ship of supplies. If you can help me reach a deal, the remaining half of a ship of supplies will also belong to you."

At this time, Osha, who had been silent, spoke: "Southerners, we agree. But we need time to contact the giants, and half the shipload of supplies you promised to pay must be delivered to us now."

Gavin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I will stay here while waiting. I hope you can give me a definite answer as soon as possible."

Countless boats shuttled back and forth on the sea, busy transporting supplies.

Osha opened a bag containing grain at will, and saw that the grain inside was full, bright in color, and exuding an alluring aroma.

She picked up a long sword again, with a sharp blade, exquisite workmanship, and high quality.

Osha looked at these supplies. These things were much better than those paid by the merchants who came here before.

Osha walked towards Gavin who was standing on the beach. Gavin felt someone approaching and turned around to see it was Osha. He smiled and said hello.

Osha saw that Gavin's eyes had lost the previous alertness, and said: "We will send out manpower to find the giants in a while, and there will be news in about five or six days. Southerners, don't you plan to exchange for some of our furs? "

Gavin said calmly: "Well, yes, but I give priority to exchanging wood. I only brought 30 shiploads of goods. If there is any leftover in the end, I don't mind exchanging for some furs to take back."

After hearing this, Osha immediately said: "I'm afraid the wood you can exchange for these things can only be exchanged for half even if the giant's inventory is taken out. Besides, they only need food and do not need these weapons and supplies. For them, these are The weapons are too small, and you will definitely have a lot of supplies left."
