Frostleaf Town, Lord's Manor Hall.
"Their caravan didn't depart from Red Gryphon Castle, our people didn't notice it."
Durant reported, "It's our people in the Western Province who discovered an unfamiliar caravan, and after investigating, they found it belonged to the Red Gryphon Clan."
Rod pondered, speaking slowly,
"Since they have already started trading, it means Long Winter Town has reached some agreement with the Red Gryphon Clan."
"I remember the baron lord of Long Winter Town is from the Shield-Breaker Clan, right?" Rod asked.
"Yes, Slore Shieldbreaker, nephew of the Count of Rock Shield Mountain."
Durant explained, "Previously, we had a brief cooperation in clearing the lizardman's burial pit, with Baron Blom's guidance."
"Unexpectedly, he is now cooperating with the Red Gryphon Clan…"
Durant couldn't help but sigh.
"Joining forces against the lizardmen was only because of a common enemy, there was no real friendship."
