The soldiers at the outpost stopped their eyes on Mimilu and repeatedly looked at the strange creature. Mimilu obediently squatted on the ground and motionless as Ash Rufate taught. For humans, the "Sem tribe" is just a creature that exists in legends, or even a creature that has never been heard of. So now Ash Rufate has made a collar for Mimilu. Whenever someone asks about Mimilu, Ash Rufate explains that it is his pet, and this reason is effective.

"What, is there anything wrong with my pet?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"No, it's nothing, it's just rare." The soldier replied honestly. "Okay, strangers, you can pass. But I want to give you a piece of advice. Those Bin tribes are not hospitable guys. We have recorded several disappearances of personnel and even caravans here. If possible, I advise you to take a detour."

"Thank you," Ash Rufate replied. "But I think I can protect myself."

"Hope so, stranger." The soldier opened the roadblock, "but remember my warning. Stay away from the savage guys. If anything happens," he added. "Ceep your help from the garrison of the Kingdom of Ryan, the closest to you. It is our duty to protect the safety of the past business trips."

Ashu Rufate thanked him again and rode away.

"Master, Mimilu has a problem." Mimilu took off the collar around her neck (just for disguise, she wore this very uncomfortable leather collar around her neck), "What are they talking about?"

"A relatively independent nation is now a confidant of the Ryan Kingdom." Ash Rufate replied. Since staying in human society for a long time, Mimilu is already familiar with human language and can understand many things between humans, such as nations, tribes, and states. "The Ryan people have always regarded the Bin tribe as a thorn in their eyes, hoping to conquer the Bin tribe, but unfortunately they failed to do so. The two sides fought for a long time, and finally they signed a peace agreement under the regulation of the church. However, as long as the opportunity arises, this fragile peace can be broken at any time. Do you know why they blocked the way and searched us just now?"

Mimilu shook her head.

"They are forbidding anyone to import iron into the Bincun... iron, and salt."

"Mimilu doesn't understand, please explain." Mimilu asked curiously.

"Iron tools can be made into tools and weapons and armor, which can improve the strength of the Bin tribe. Salt is a necessity for daily life... The Ryan people only allow them to sell high-priced salt to the Bin tribe themselves. In other words, even if they do not start a war with the Bin tribe for the time being, they will be careful to prevent the Bin tribe from strengthening their strength, and at the same time squeeze out property from the Bin tribe as much as possible. We are like ordinary travelers who know that they don't bring anything at all at once. But if they are a caravan, they will probably be tossed and messed up." Ashu Rufate explained to Mimilu as much as possible. In fact, they were just passing by this area and did not spend any energy to inquire. However, some things can naturally be passed into their ears without deliberately inquiring.

"But it seems." Ashu Rufate recalled the soldier's last warning just now. "Maybe something is going to happen..."

"Master, Mimilu is hungry again." Mimilu said suddenly.

"Ah." Ashu Rufat wanted to take out a portion of dry food from the saddle bag. It must be said that although Mimilu was only as big as a teenager, her appetite was not bad at all, and she could even surpass an ordinary adult.

"It seems like I've finished eating." I didn't feel anything in the saddle bag. Only some dry food residue was left. No matter from any angle, it was not enough for Mimilu to eat. Ashu Rufat no longer needed to eat, at most he could drink some water by chance (of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't drink it). Because of this, he often forgot to replenish food.

Fortunately, the soldiers at the outpost mentioned just now that there is a Bin tribe village nearby. It should be no problem to buy some food as a traveler.

The village was not as bad as expected. Outside the village, a trench that was high by man was dug, and the inner side was a wall made of wood - rather than a wall - a fence - a wall decorated with wooden towers for guardians to use. Near the gate, two doormen with spears were looking vigilantly, and at the top of an independent observation tower, there was a guard performing his duties, and a large conch hung on his chest.

These signs show that this place is not a peaceful small village. Of course, as a passerby who just came to buy some food, Ashu Rufate didn't care about these things. After asking him a few simple questions, the guard outside stopped blocking the way, so he walked in without hesitation.

The village is bigger than expected, and there should be thousands of villagers. Although the villagers' houses are simple wooden houses and seem to have just been built for a few years, the entire village seems to be simple and clean, without the usual scene of sewage flowing in the countryside. There are many trucks near the entrance, which means that this is a frequent visitor by caravans, at least more than one caravan stops here.

Several caravan bodyguards wearing mail and looking drunk, looked at Ash Rufate, who was passing by. They noticed his war horse, shield and sword, and laughed. "Young man, if you want to find a job as a mercenary in the Bin tribe, you will be disappointed. They are all so poor that they are dying! Hahahaha..."

Ashu Rufate ignored them. He had seen the largest building in front of him, and at the same time he heard the usual roar and shouting sounds of taverns and restaurants from the door opened. And many horses were tied to the horse-tie columns outside.

Looking at this village, it seems that the Bin tribe is developing well. Perhaps the various blockade policies of the Ryans have not achieved good results.

The tavern was quite crowded. It was afternoon, and it was still far from dinner. It was logical that there would not be so many people, but in fact it was full. However, Ashurufat noticed that quite a few people had only one or two simple drinks or a snack on the table, and he knew that he was passing the time at a glance.

A waitress came up. It was a woman from the Bin tribe. In other words, she had light blonde hair. This is a very obvious appearance feature of the Bin tribe. The women of their clan all have light hair, either light blonde, slightly light blue silver hair, and even a light pink hair. This feature is rare in other places. It is said that some people in the northwest of the mainland also have similar hair colors, and most of them are the result of intermarriage with the Bin tribe.

The waitress began to ask Ashu Rufate’s needs with her professional smile.

"Is there any ready-made food in the store now?"

"The store has newly prepared roasted wild goats, all kinds of bread, some wild ducks and pheasants, some smoked fish and fresh fish, and various fruits. If guests want drinks, we have beer, spirits, sweet fruit wine, milk, juice, etc. I suggest you get some sweet fruit wine. We made it ourselves with wild fruits from the mountains. Travelers say it tastes very good and is not expensive."

She looked up and down at Ash Rufate, and her eyes were on the leather jacket on him. It was already spring, but it was still cold to wear this kind of clothes. From this point of view, this guest was not a rich man.

"If you can't drink, I suggest you give me a fish soup, which is bread, which is delicious and cheap, and only ten copper coins are enough." The waitress suggested.

"Give me a portion of wild duck, a portion of roasted lamb, some fresh fish, and a portion of milk." Ashu Rufat thought about it. When traveling with him, Mimilu ate dry food every day, and thought he must be so tired of being tired. "In addition, help me prepare some food for travel, bacon, sausage, smoked fish, etc., plus dry food, the portions of a person will be almost the same for twenty days. By the way," he looked around. If he didn't eat anything, it would be normal. "As for myself, give me a fruit wine."

"You yourself?" The waitress looked at him with a suspicious look on her face, not understanding the meaning of his words.

"Those things are for my pets," Ash Rufate explained. Now the waitress noticed the Mimilu beside him.

However, as mentioned earlier, the tavern was full. For a moment, even the waitress could not find a suitable position. However, this awkward situation did not last long because someone immediately rescued the situation.

"Young man, if you don't dislike me, sit here." A chubby guest greeted Ashu Rufat.

Ashu Rufate did not refuse this kindness because he had no choice at all, so he was invited to sit opposite the guest.

This friend who reached out to help was a fat man. Specifically, he was a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, with all kinds of jewelry showing off his wealth, saying "I am a successful businessman, I am very rich." There was a whole can of sweet fruit wine in front of him. Before Ash Rufate came, he had been drinking by himself.

"Thank you." Ashu Rufate thanked this friend who was a chance meeting but was willing to help others.

"You're welcome, young man, seeing you like this, you're here to do divination." The fat businessman didn't see him and greeted him enthusiastically. "The first time I've been here?"

"Divine? Oh, yes, so do you?"

"That's right." The fat businessman sighed. "A year ago, I was full of suspicion about this. You know, we who do business traveled around the world and saw too many scammers in the world. Most of the people like fortune tellers are scammers who are obsessed with words and expressions. Because the results of their fortune telling are ambiguous and vague, and they can even read different conclusions from various angles. So last time, I was also skeptical. But now I no longer doubt it! Miss Reya's divination is real."

"Miss Leya's divination is real..." Ashu Rufate looked at the merchant's face carefully. Although the profession of merchant has been closely related to lies since its birth, this time, Ashu Rufate felt that he was not lying.
