Chapter 44: The Other Side 8


    The four hunters who came were shocked by this question from Zhang Yi, because as high-profile hunters and experienced as they were, they entered the vige in silence and were sure to pass as quietly as possible until they reached the cksmith''s shop.


    But from what Zhang Yi said since they entered this vige they were already on their watch, although cksmith status was well respected in evenrge cities were not all that cared about it, these hunters were an example of this.


    Because they just wanted to buy their weapons and then walk away and not make a long business rtionship with Zhang Yi, but if they knew that besides being a cksmith he was still stronger than the four of them his assessment of him would change.


    So the leader of the hunters after realizing this fact began to speak more politely to Zhang Yi.


    "That''s not it, the problem is that as I said our vige is an ally of your vige, but that does not mean that we are friends of the hunters in this vige, being allies is more a matter of need and confidence than of friendship."


    "So although we are allies if we really need help with anything else we would have to ask the hunters a favor and payter, so we try to avoid the hunters here and buy the weapons in silence so we do not need to owe them one more favor."


    After hearing this Zhang Yi finally understood, it was not that they did not respect each other, but rather that they hadplicated rtionships between them, it was a mistake for him to think that because the viges were small to be allies they had to be friends.


    But now Zhang Yi understood more or less how the rtionship between the viges was, it was like the rtion of the battalions of the army in which he was, although all the soldiers andmanders were on the same side that did not mean that their rtion in the day was good.


    Zhang Yi remembered a story of two great generals one was younger and one was younger, the younger general was more skillful and so had a higher position and importance than the older general, as well as the older general, had a little envy of the youngest they never spoke.


    But once by a wrong order from the superiors these two generals and their armies eventually fell into the trap of the enemy army, so without hesitating in thinking about what was most important for their country the older general led his army to be able to give time to the general more new escape.


    This showed that although the two of them quarreled with each other and were not friends, when amon enemy appeared, they came together without any problem, this was the way he understood that the hunters of the viges worked, they had to be united in order not to be target of a stronger enemy even if they did not like each other.


    Knowing this Zhang Yi showed the weapons and armor to the hunters in the other vige, although they had heard before when they saw the weapons the hunters were impressed, they thought before that the rumor of a cksmith selling such good cockroaches was false, but it seemed that was true.


    Although allied these hunters were from neighboring viges and so had no discounts for them in the price of weapons, so each hunter can only buy one weapon and one armor each for 4 gold in total.


    So after the four hunters were able to buy their weapons they became much friendlier and respected a lot more Zhang Yi, after buying all they had to buy the hunters left the same way they arrived.


    Zhang Yi knew now that the two viges would be much closer and united from now on after all the four hunters who came today were much stronger and would tell everyone in their viges that because of the discount the vige where Zhang Yi was supposed to have much more well-armed people now.


    And the fact that only the Allied viges could buy the weapons would have the nearby viges think twice before they decide to attack the vige in which Zhang Yi was.


    After a few more months, everyone got used to the presence of Zhang Yi in the vige, every week many people from other viges woulde to spend in their workshop, some to buy weapons and armor and others to buy daily tools like knives and pots.


    The allied viges to show their sincerity and show that they were strong allies of the vige in which Zhang Yi was beginning to bring a part of the meats they hunted, after all with the new weapons they bought from Zhang Yi the hunt was much easier and safer, so they wanted to show their gratitude.


    So in these past months, the hunters from the vige of Zhang Yi did not have to go out to hunt and stayed to protect the vige, so everyone in the vige was even more grateful to Zhang Yi.


    Zhang Yi was having the life he always wanted to have an even cultivating was not yet his body needed such a time to stabilize and fully ustom to the great advances made in a short time, only Zhang Yi''s base be perfect and not have impurities for not using drugs was difficult to say that so many advances were normal.


    But Zhang Yi knew that times of peace cannotst long in a warrior''s life after many months have passed and the elves are naive as they were and talking about Zhang Yi to everyone they knew it was impossible for the enemy viges not to know about the new cksmith.


    Although all the small viges were afraid to offend a cksmith who had a status of respect even in the cities, it was hard to bear the gain, especially as the enemy viges heard clearly that Zhang Yi would not sell arms and armor to enemy viges.


    Although the reason for this was obvious to protect people who were from the same vige as he, for the leaders of the enemy viges put them in a difficult position, after a few months had passed it was evident for all to see that the viges in which the Hunters bought the weapons and armor were having a really good time.


    After all, every weapon Zhang Yi sold for a low price was considered a treasure to each hunter ifpared to the weapons they had before, so the overall strength of each of them increased greatly so it was normal that hunting was now much easier and safe


    Another reason Zhang Yi did not care to sell his cheap weapons to these hunters was that he knew that these people were not greedy and so would not use the fact that his strength increased greatly to start wars and conquer thend, these hunters wanted only to survive.


    But these leaders of the strongest viges did not think this way, they thought that if their strength increased they could conquer more viges and even form a city one day, in addition, these leaders thought of the money they could do if they had several of these weapons and sold for the price that really was worth.


    So driven by the gain one of the leaders who was a warrior who was at the peak of the realm Xiantian decided to see if he could attack this vige of Zhang Yi.


    The name of this leader was Dalyor Waesthyra, Dalyor was the leader if one of the fiverger viges beside the great city, in the society of the dark elves could only form a city a warrior that surpassed the Xiantian realm and came to realm core creation.


    To form arge vige and have a leader like Dalyor and the other 4 who were allies to defend themselves from a possible attack of the city had some restrictions, arge vige had to have at least 5 Xiantian realm warriors, this seemed easy by therge time the elves lived, but it was not really that way.


    A vige to be able to grow and stay safe had to have at least 1 Xiantian realm warrior; otherwise, no one would live in it for fear of being killed, and although hunters would not often be greedy, many after reaching the realm Xiantian having hundreds of years did not want to continue living below anyone and thus they created their own vige.


    Who created this belief and favored it was the city that did not want to see the fiverge viges be stronger, so it was difficult for a newrge vige to be formed, sometimes these 5rge viges that did not ept the situation tried to subjugate a smaller vige by dering war with her.


    So the small viges like Zhang Yi were doing allies so that they could defend themselves from these fiverge viges, Dalyor did not want to have a war with Zhang Yi if it were possible because he feared retaliation of the city.


    So first he ordered five of the Houtian realm hunters and a Xiantian realm hunter from his vige to go to Zhang Yi vige and try to buy a weapon.


    Dalyor sent this force because it was almost the same as the vige of Zhang Yi, so even if they failed and were discovered they could still leave quietly, at the same time he ordered 2 Xiantian realm warriors from his vige to kill and steal one of these weapons from an allied vige to see if the weapon was really strong like that.
