The marketers I left behind wondered as I left for the king's palace.
Back to the Market.
Hey stranger, this technology is not common, did the gods drop this down from the heavens? How did you create this? Even the best blacksmiths here can't forge this artifact that shows you as you are"
one of the traders lamented.
I'm here to trade just this artifact and it's very expensive as you'd have to exchange Humans For This"
said the slave trader
We really need more people to work for us to make more of this, especially women and children and you would be given this artifact and even this our metallic sticks you so admire"
How many maidens would you be needing for one of this stick?"
the trader asked.
One man will get you this stick and the artifact, but one woman and a child will only get you the artifact."
the foreigner replied with a wide grin.
Meanwhile at the palace....
I've heard you brought a lot of this artifacts so what do you want in exchange to trade them?"
asked the king
Its going to cost just a hundred men for everything we've got, a hundred women will only get you half of it."
replied the foreigner's representative.
Guard take this man, and some other men from the kingdom, bond them and escort them out of the land's border, they'll be his" pointing to the foreigner.
Fantastic man
