Blood and Fire

Everyone took the warning seriously and discussed the matter.

Even if it was only a possibility, security took priority over everything else, including for the lord of the nine realms, who sent a message five minutes later.

[Lord of the nine realms: I set 2 units of wood for 40 and 41 cores. You buy one, then the other once the carpenter arrives.]

[Adam: Sure. I don't have to warn you about what'll happen if you try to scam me, right? I'll let you guess my army's strength if I can put 81 cores for trade.]

Ignoring the other lord's message, his eyes sparkled with anticipation as he waited for the man's answer.

[Lord of the nine realms: I sent two guards with him. Try to meet them midway to save time for us both.]

[Adam: Sure.]
