Chapter 312: A kindred spirit
The Black Water Tribe's Chief looked unbelievable and wondered how he could make excuses better.
Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan had eye contact.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief was nervous and ready to deal with their pressing questions. It's impossible for him to tell them his greatest secret, that is, to save the benefactor.
"Bring the seeds." Yan Mo reached out.
"He An." The Black Water Tribe's Chief whispers.
He An turned and took a bag of seeds from the inner room.
Yan Mo is not surprised that they carry seeds with them. In many parts of the countryside, rice with hulls is harvested and shelled when they need food.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief motioned HeAn to take the bag of seeds to Yan Mo, Yan Mo, opened it for inspection and then put it into his pocket.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief looked at the waist bag in surprise and several more times had he has heard of races and people who have the ability to pack many things, but this is the first time to see it with his own eyes.
Yan Mo pointed to the sweet rod at the bottom of the wall. "You said it was all for us, didn't you?"
"Yes."
Yan Mo got up, went over and put the sweet rod in his pocket, and then said to Yuan Zhan, "Let’s go."
Yuan Zhan jumped up and followed Yan Mo by the two-way gate.
Jiu Feng was seeing everything as fun. He flew around the Black Water Tribe's Chief and spat at him, watching him dodge, and his hair cut down by a few wisps. Then he happily flies his little wings back to the top of Yan Mo head.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief opened his mouth wide and did not respond for a moment. "Hello, the Jiu Yuan, you're going to leave like this?"
He did not believe that the purpose of the two men would be so simple, nor did he believe that the Old Priest of an ordinary tribe could dispel the curse of the God of beasts, and that the messenger of the God of beasts was so easy to summon and they were going to leave like that? How can they be satisfied with a hundred sweet rods and a bag of sweet rod seeds at such a high price?
Yan Mo looked back and smiled kindly at him: "You're healing well."
They stepped out the door with Ding Ning, who had been forgotten to be invisible.
Wait! I just watched you look so bright like you were trying to force me to tell, but now you give up?
I'm ready for you to extort my confessions by torture, or to force me to tell secrets by means of life-saving grace. Why did you leave like this?
"Hey, who, didn't you say you wanted to fight with me? No more? "
Yuan Zhan did not return. "I will not fight with the cripple."
So they went into the snowstorm, and He An escorted them out.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief stayed for a while, his face unbelievable, "Your mother! Where on earth did these two guys come from? He An!"
He An returned, closed the door, and walked quickly back to his Chief. "Chief, what's the matter?"
"Tell me all you know about the Jiu Yuan." Forget it, the two of them are gone, so that he will not have to worry about how to deal with them. Maybe the two of them are really fooled by his words in the past.
He An said everything he knew about the Jiu Yuan in two or three words, and then began to complain about his Chief: "Chief, the Old Priest invited the beast god messenger to free you from the curse of the Beast God. How do you think so about those people?" Even the angel of the Beast God is not respected. What if he is cursed by the Beast God again?
"Nonsense! It's not enough for the beast God to curse me once, but he wants to curse me for the second time? Believe it or not, I will go back and kill all the tribes that serve the beast God!”
He An looked worried. "Chief, did you say that you want to beat the tribesmen, the servants that serves the God of beasts, so wouldn’t the God of beasts would curse and punish you if you do that?"
The Black Water Tribe's Chief did not turn his eyes in anger, "Do not hurt them, do you think our tribe people won’t be caught by them and be used as winter grain reserves and giving them wild cubs?"
He An was speechless.
The Black Water Tribe's Chief was laborious, looking at the Tribesmen who could write the simple and thick words on their faces, and feeling extremely stressed.
At this point, He An asked, "Chief, the sweet rods that we need for the trade are given to the Witch Jiu Yuan. What are we going to trade with the Black Earth City in the future?"
The Black Water Tribe's Chief hit his head against the wall and closed his eyes and asked, "Is there enough to eat?"
He and An quickly dropped two words: "Not enough."
"Then we go rob some."
"... Who will be the first to rob?"
Just as The Black Water Tribe's Chief and his bosom planned to rob because of lack of food, it was not known that Yan Mo and Yuan Zhan had dug up his secret almost.
"What secrets do you think he will have?" Yuan Zhan took the lead in opening his mouth.
"What do you say?"
Yuan Zhan felt that he had grasped a clue and asked Yan Mo to prove it casually. "He said that when he went down to the Gaogang City, he only rose to 5th rank at the highest level, and the latter level remained unchanged until he left the Gaogang City and returned to his tribe, he became a 7th rank god-blood warrior."
"And what have you inferred from that?"
"When he left The Gaogang City or returned to the tribe, he got a training method for blood ability warrior over 6th Rank, and he didn't want the secret to be known." Yuan Zhan did not speculate casually. He learned a lot about how they control warriors in the lower city from the side of The Moer-Gan and Zhe Fei. He already knew that every litter of 1st Rank after they reach 5th Rank they needed a new training methods, and some needed the help of the Temple Priest and the servants, and a large number of high-level yuan-crystals.”
"That's the secret?" Yan Mo also prefers this speculation, but he still raises a question: "The people from Tianqiancheng-Heaven City is also carrying the strength of 7th rank, and I think a 7th rank warrior is not uncommon in lower cities."
"You don't look at the identities of the people from Tianqiancheng-Heaven City. YeHe, Temple High Priest of Tianqiancheng-Heaven City, and his guardian warriors are certainly the strongest. The last Zhe Fei is Tianqiancheng-Heaven City's largest warrior faction leader. It's strange that these people do not have the strength of 7th rank. But look at the warriors besides these men, Fei Li, Duo Fei, and those with Zhe Fei. Which one is more than 6th rank?”
"That is to say, you think a 7th rank warrior is also very rare in lower city, and one has to be in a very high position to reach 7th Rank?"
"Yes. A warrior without the direct line of The Gaogang City can never get 7th Rank's training method from the temple or troop. Otherwise, how can those who go lower cities control their affiliated tribes?”
"Then the Black Water Tribe's Chief upgrade method is strange." Yan Mo is a bit curious, but he doesn't really care. After all, he has a better and more systematic upgrade method. "He's so wary of whether he think we want to threaten him over with life-saving grace?"
"It's probably not the first time he's met someone who's got his idea of trying to take his warrior training method."
After other peoplesecrets gossip was finished, they began to talk about business again. Yuan Zhan asked about the value of the sweet rod. Yan Mo explained it to him in detail.
Yuan Zhan heard that sweet rods were so useful that his dissatisfaction with the deal finally dropped slightly.
Jiu Feng, impatient, continued to stay over Yan Mo head, barking at the snowstorm and spreading his wings without knowing where to fly.
Yan Mo looked up at the sky. "When the snowstorm stops, I'm going to set up a stall at a trade fair, specializing in treating people's injuries."
"No need." Yuan Zhan subconsciously denies it.
"Yes, we gave the Black Earth City the impression that we are poor tribes without yuan-crystal coins and few goods. If I don't go out to work for a living, where will our yuan-crystal coins and food come from?"
"There's me." Yuan Zhan is reluctant to let his priest go out in winter to suffer.
"You have more to choose from. Well, I have my plans, and I can ask for information about the city by the way." Yan Mo wants to see how that number of faiths growing rapidly.
Just after the Black Water Tribe's Chief was cured, the guide reduced SCUM VALUE to him, but the number of faith points remained unchanged, which made him suspect that the number of faith points should be appreciated not only by the beneficiaries, but also by the insufficient degree of gratitude?
Yuan Zhan can't help it. "At least wait until the snow stops completely."
"I know."
The wind and snow became bigger. The two people originally wanted to take Ding Ning outside, but Yan Mo's body condition was not allowed. Yuan Zhan held him back to the hut of The Jiu Yuan very quickly.
After entering the room, they found that the atmosphere was not right, as if something had happened. Bing and Ding Fei are talking about what they are talking about. They have replaced all the coal in the fire pond with firewood. The new coal is useless, and the used coal was ground to ashes. Da-da was not here.
When Bing saw that he was the first to come forward, he opened his mouth and said, "I killed a slave, and there are three more alive."
Ding Ning, who finally came in, turned and closed the door.
Yan Mo, who is pulling out the sweet rod, looked up, brother c’mon would you not shake up such a strong news as soon as I come back before even sitting?
Although homicide is common in the world, the Jiu Yuan has been "civilized" to a certain extent and has not been allowing people to kill people directly without the permission of Chief and The Priest for a long time.
But Yan Mo, who already trusted Bing, did not criticize Bing, handed him a sweet rod and asked casually, "Why did you kill her?"
Bing took over the sweet rod, did not ask what it was, and told the story first: "Da-da heard her say two things while we weren't paying attention and she went to meet with the Black Earth City people secretly."
"What two things?"
"Our witch likes strong men. And our house is warmer than anywhere else, but instead of using firewood, we use a kind of burnable black stone.”
When Yan Mo heard the first sentence, he gave a sharp twitch at the corner of his mouth. "Did the person she met say anything?"
"Yes, he told her to continue to find out why our house is so warm, and let her steal some burning stones out and bring some to him."
"Was the man she saw very strong?"
"Yes, Da-da said he couldn't beat that man, so he didn't jump out to kill him."
"What about Da-da?"
"He went to follow that man."
Yan Mo frowned and listened to all Yuan Zhan patting him. "Its okay, Da-da's kid knows what he's going to do. If he was not sure, he won't follow him."
"What about the other three girls?"
"In the inner room, with the body of another slave."
Yan Mo put thumbs up on Bing, you are ruthless!
Ding Fei looked at them and said, "Mo Da-Ren, would you like to put these coal away first?"
Yan Mo murmured that he needed to think about the pros and cons first.
"No," Yuan Zhan said directly.
Bing thinks differently. "I think it's better to put them away. We can't be seemwith it at right now."
"There's no sense in hiding now." Yuan Zhan vetoed, "They already know that we are using a burning black water stone. Even if we hide it, they will still know that we have it."
Yan Mo's brain brightens, "Don't hide, not only don't hide, and we have to take out to trade."
“What?” everyone including Yuan Zhan turned to look at their Priest Da-Ren?
Yan Mo coughed and said, "Coal is of different quality. You all forgot that when the first batch of coal came in, there were many inferior coals with strong smoke as soon as they were burned. This is that kind of coal, I also brought some, just took out to trade, when they found that this burnable stone is not as good as they imagined, their greed will naturally fall to the lowest level.”
Yuan Zhan would like to ask his Priest, what can we do with those inferior coals that can burn smoke?
Yan Mo laughed and said, "This kind of coal ignites and can be used to frighten the enemies and wild animals when they encounter it."
Ding Fei immediately looked at him with the expression of "Mo Da-Ren you’re the greatest and wisdom".
Bing felt as if he had opened another strange door of thinking. What kind of strange tactics could he use against the enemy?
Yan Mo saw what Bing was thinking and said to him earnestly, "If we find irritating plants like chili peppers in the future, we can sprinkle a handful of powder to make the enemy cry hot and be breathless. Itchy powder and so on are good, but I haven't found the most suitable medicine to configure. When it comes out, I'll give you some."
Yuan Zhan... The attack power of Priest Da-Ren, which has been recognized in his mind, has been raised to a new level.
After Yan Mo finished, he asked a little later, "Are we too high-profile?"
"High profile?" Yuan Zhan digested the unfamiliar word a little. "No, I don't think we're acting right now. We don't feel too strong or too weak."
"So you agree to trade coal?"
"What else can we bring out? Bone objects? Ceramics? Or red salt? Or pickled radish?
Yan Mo was intoxicated. Did we already have so many good things in The Jiu Yuan?
But it's really hard to think about it. They already have so many good things, but they can't easily exchange them. This time, instead of being afraid of the Black Earth City attacking the Jiu Yuan, because it's too far away, they have to send Yuan Zhan to the Upper City Temple without drawing any special attention.
In the future, there will be a way for Yuan Zhan to disappear without doubt after he gets the Godblood Stone, such as guarding the Godblood Stone and falling off the cliff.
If the city suspects that Yuan Zhan has taken the Godblood Stone and knows that the Jiu Yuan has so many good things, they will probably try to attack them even further away.
For this reason, they can only tolerate now. In fact, the dried radish can also be used for trading, but he is reluctant to use inferior coal!
Ding Fei interrupted: "Mo Da-Ren, Chief, the four slaves were all sent by She-Dan. If he found out that we killed one, would he bother us?"
Yuan Zhan shook his head. "No. The four slaves were sent to us for use. Kill one or two. She-Dan would not react. He could not make a contribution to the slaves. Unless we killed all four for no reason, he would probably come and ask if we were not satisfied with his arrangement.”
Ding Fei asked again, "What about the three slaves? Do we keep them all the time?"
According to Yuan Zhan and Bing's temper, of course, they want to kill everyone in order to divide the aftermath. Otherwise, they are useless and waste food.
Yan Mo waved his hand. "Keep them, let them do whatever they want. I have a way to keep them speechless. In addition, A-Zhan, you should seal the earthen dragon stove first to prevent She-Dan from asking someone to look at the house when we are not here.”
"I can dig it every day and fill every day."
"That's only for the evening. A-Zhan, do you remember the stove I asked you to make?"
"Remember. What's wrong?”
"We'll need to get a few more later, leave two in the house, and the surplus will be traded at the market, pretending that I brought them."
"They will know about your pockets..."
"It's okay. I'll put my purse away so that the people who see it think that this is one of my blood abilities. Even if I take it away, it will be useless. After all, we don't have a big warehouse that's too inconvenient to put things. Besides, once we take out the coal, they can guess that we must have the skills like snake man.”
Yan Mo and others on this side are discussing future arrangements, and She-Dan on that side has received information from detectives.
"They went to the Black Water Tribe shed? What are the people who know The Black Water Tribe looking for?”
"They should have treated their Chief. Their chief was injured when they entered the city. It may get worse these days."
"Oh? Why don't they go to the temple servant?”
"Probably not enough yuan-crystal coins and enough for exchange transactions."
"The Jiu Yuan cured the Black Water Tribe's Chief?"
"It should be that He An, humbled of going to see the Black Water tribe chief and afterwards they personally sent them out of the door, with a respectful attitude."
"Ah, the Jiu Yuan warrior is strong, the witch is not weak, tch tch."
The detective had just left and another came.
When he heard that the old priest of the Jiu Yuan liked strong men, and that five of the strong men in the group were suspected of being used by him, She-Dan laughed and felt like he had met a fellow man. He did not like the soft young children, he only like the vigorous young and the strong young warriors. He liked the women too, but he only touched the virgins.
When he finished laughing, his face suddenly came to an end. Although the witch was a kindred spirit as him, he didn't like the fact that the warrior he saw had been touched by another person first.
"You say the Jiu Yuan has a kind of burning black stone?"
The detective nodded.
She-Dan tapped on the back of his hand. "Find ways to get some for me."
"Yes."
"In addition, try them again, and don't let them idle. Since the witch likes to see a doctor and heal his wounds, we should find more patients for him, the heavier the better."
The detective wrote down, "Da-Ren, if you want a warrior, which tribe are you looking for this time?"
"If they can defeat the leader of the Duona Clan warriors, how can we find a tribe stronger than the Duona Clan this time? The Gaogang City's tribute this year seems to be a quarter less than last year?"
The detective dared not say more, but bowed his head.
She-Dan smiled gently. “You go and tell them that I've seen the Jiu Yuan, not to mention anything. Let the Gaogang City bring things to me.
"Yes." The detective spy led the way.
