Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 245 Joining the Black Rock Tribe
"Okay." Chu Xin nodded, and readily agreed.

Badance asked in surprise, "Aren't you worried that I'll go back on my word when I go back?"

Chu Xin smiled and said: "Since we are talking about cooperation, I will naturally show my sincerity, and I believe the patriarch will do the same."

"That is."

Badance smiled awkwardly, but he felt a little more solemn in his heart. He would not believe that it was just Chu Xin's sincerity.

Since the other party dared to put him back, he was naturally confident that he could capture him back. If he really resisted, the Black Rock Tribe might not be able to escape extinction in the end.

He thought of those weird and powerful plants, and went back to regret, probably just repeating the previous situation again.

By that time, the Black Rock Tribe would have completely lost their chance to bargain.

Chu Xin waved his hand, and the bear troops and dwarf hoplites in front stepped aside one after another, revealing the scene outside.

Those winds that blinded perception had disappeared, and Bardance saw that his people were neatly pressed to the ground by those vines, including the dozen or so dwarven heavy hammer fighters that he thought were elite.

Badance's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the other party was advocating force, and warned himself not to play any tricks.

The group of dwarves roared emotionally after seeing Bardens walk out of the siege of the heavy dwarven infantry intact.

"My lord." Bardance called out.

"Hey, look at me, quickly, let go of the clansmen of the leader of Badance." Chu Xin hurriedly ordered as if waking up from a dream.

The cane quickly retracted into the darkness, and Badens never saw what hit him. The only thing he could be sure of was Chu Xin's subordinates.

"Master patriarch, how are you, are you okay?"

"Master patriarch, why did you suddenly disappear just now, did you find the enemy's movement and chase you?"

"Which tribe do these dwarf hoplites belong to?"

The dwarves got up from the ground and stepped forward to ask each other. When you said something to me, the whole mine was noisy.

Badance felt his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know which question to answer for a while, but these were not important, and there were more important things at the moment.

He took a deep breath and said, "Send an order to let all the clansmen gather in the central cave. I have something to say."

Bardance sorted out the messy thoughts in his mind, while thinking about how to tell the tribe about this matter.

Although he already had a choice in his heart, he didn't have much confidence in the attitude of the clansmen and whether they recognized his decision.

After all, not long ago, the Black Rock Tribe had just experienced the attack of the human slave-hunting team and hid here. When they encountered such a thing again, they were somewhat disgusted in their hearts.

If the clansmen object to joining the other party's territory, what should they do?
Badams thought deeply, and came to the big cave that was the center of the tribe.

Soon, black dwarves poured into the central cave, and everyone was quiet. They seemed to have a premonition in their hearts that something big would happen.

Badans cleared his throat, and carefully repeated Chu Xin's conditions.

Sure enough, it immediately sparked a heated discussion below.

"I heard that right, there is such a good thing, can you drink all the wine every day?"

"Humans are nothing, especially those lords, their hearts are black."

"If you can drink wine every meal, let alone a human lord, I am willing to mine mines for the undead."

"Boss, when will you be able to drink wine?"

"Yini, you haven't even grown your hair yet. What kind of wine do you drink? When the time comes, Uncle Lark will help you drink your share."

……

Bardance listened to the discussion below. Among the people in the tribe, most of them were in favor, and only a few held opposing opinions, and they were quickly submerged in the ocean of voices of approval.

Although he had expected this situation in his heart, Badams never expected that the clansmen would be so helpless in front of fine wine.

Also, are you serious about mining the undead?
After waiting for a while, Bardance tried his best to calm down the topic that the dwarves were completely detonated by the wine, and called out a few representatives from the crowd.

After some discussion, the general direction still agreed to the Black Rock Tribe joining Chu Xin's territory, but there were three prerequisites.

First of all, the Black Rock tribe cannot be broken up, and it must be ensured that they have an independent gathering place.

I heard that many lords merged some tribes into them, and they were soon scattered to various places. The clansmen were scattered in various places. After a long time, it was difficult to gather together again, and the Black Rock tribe existed in name only.

The second point is that the establishment of the contract must be completed under the witness of the Lord of the Hill.

The Lord of the Hill is a god worshiped by the Black Rock dwarves. Only a contract established in the name of the Lord of the Hill can give the dwarves a sense of security.

The third point, which they are more concerned about, is that a certain amount of good wine must be provided to the tribe every period of time. The result of their temporary negotiation is ten barrels per day.

Of course, this bottom line can also be lowered appropriately, and Bardance needs to grasp it himself.

This last point, in fact, Bardens himself thinks it is a bit too much.

In any territory, food is a very important material. The brewing of ten barrels of wine requires a lot of food, at least several hundred people's rations.

But wine is still too important to the dwarves, and Bardance is going to try his best to get it, and even they can work for a longer period of time every day.

If Chu Xin knew what these dwarves were thinking, he might have laughed out loud.

The yield rate of the dwarves' winemaking is very low, but it is different in the tavern, it is directly transformed, the yield rate of the wine is extremely high, and the actual food consumed is far less than the dwarves thought.

An hour passed quickly, and Bardance, surrounded by a crowd of people, came over.

Although it is the weak side, the dwarves still can't lose with the momentum they should have, otherwise it will not be good for them when the conditions are negotiated.

There was a smile on Chu Xin's face, Cao Tuan followed and listened all the way, he already knew the final result of the other party's discussion, and he even knew the acceptable bottom line.

It can be said that the dwarves lost this negotiation from the very beginning.

"My lord!" Bardance signaled the people behind him to stop, and walked over proactively.

Now that he has decided to join Chu Xin's territory, there is no need to be too cautious, and he also knows in his heart that with the opponent's strength, his own defense is unnecessary.

"Boss Badance, how is it? Have you finished the discussion?" Chu Xin stepped forward and asked with a smile on his face.

"We agree with the conditions you mentioned on the whole, but we still need to discuss the specific details, such as our living conditions..."

Badance said the conditions one by one. Although he already knew it, Chu Xin still listened carefully, and he would mention a few key points.

The two sides discussed quickly. The dwarves never had too much thoughtfulness, and Chu Xin knew the other party's bottom line, so he cut through the mess quickly, and the two settled on the specific details in a few sentences.

At this point, under the witness of the Lord of the Hill, the two parties signed a contract.

It is indeed more convenient to establish a contract in this world. There seems to be a god who can notarize the vows made, and can guarantee the fairness of both parties to the contract.

But generally, in this case, one of the parties must be a loyal believer of the god before the contract can be established.

If Chu Xin were to do it by himself, he would not be able to complete it, because he did not believe in any gods.

The contract was quickly established, and Chu Xin provided the dwarves with shelter and food, as well as [-] kilograms of fine wine every week.

Because the unit of barrel is difficult to define in actual implementation.

A large barrel is a barrel, and a small barrel is also a barrel, so Badance accepted Chu Xin's suggestion and chose a fixed amount.

In addition, Chu Xin also promised to set aside a small area in the territory and give Badance them their own agricultural land.

The dwarves still had some experience in planting wheat, and Chu Xin was also happy to see the dwarves plant the wheat. He had already planned in his heart to exchange wine for a large amount of grain.

The dwarves' wine-making skills are not strong, and they have more convenient conditions, so they are definitely willing to exchange grain for wine.

However, Bardance made an additional request, and hoped that Chu Xin would agree to arrange for potential seeds of the tribe to learn from Yanxu, a master blacksmith.

Chu Xin readily agreed that Yanxu, as a territorial unit, would not give his permission, and basically would not say superfluous words or leak anything, and it was impossible to say that he was mixed with these dwarves.

On the contrary, it can also help Chu Xin cultivate a group of dwarf blacksmiths.

With the expansion of the territory in the future, blacksmithing is a very important occupation. War requires a large amount of material reserves, and weapons are also a very important part of it.

After the contract between the two parties was established, the next step was the migration of the Black Rock tribe. They needed to move to Chu Xin's territory as a whole.

At this moment, they have become residents of the territory by default, so the portal no longer rejects them.

The dwarves don't have many things, basic living materials, accumulated wealth, etc., are emptied in a few clicks.

During the transportation, Chu Xin noticed that the Heiyan tribe was indeed very poor, and there was basically no food reserves, which was enough to explain the current state of their tribe.

But these are not important, he mainly pictures dwarves.

The position of the dwarves was temporarily placed near the volcanic furnace, and they had the same race, so they could temporarily put down the vigilance of these dwarves.

Ron and others were called over to be responsible for the resettlement of these dwarves, and at the same time, they had to sort out the personnel information initially.

The kitchen on Tucker and Ron's side was busy, and the food was quickly arranged and delivered to the dwarves, along with the fine wine that had accumulated in the tavern for a long time.

During this period, Ron also quickly counted the specific number of Black Rock tribes, a total of 281 dwarves.

Among them, there is 1 senior dwarf blacksmith, 19 intermediate dwarf blacksmiths, and 132 junior dwarf blacksmiths; as for those who have mining ability, except for children, the remaining 268 dwarves have this skill, but in comparison, the elderly The efficiency of dwarves is relatively lower.

In terms of overall strength, the five-star dwarf leader Bardance, 11 five-star heavy hammer dwarf fighters, 36 three-to-four-star dwarf musketeers, 149 three-to-four-star ordinary dwarves, and the rest are two-star dwarves.

Compared with strength, Chu Xin still values ​​their mining and forging abilities more. The metal industry in the territory has finally taken a small step forward.

Chu Xin's requirement for the Black Rock Tribe is to arrange at least 100 people to work in the abandoned mine every day. If there are more people, Chu Xin will be rewarded accordingly.

Badance said that there is no problem with this. One-third of the people go to mines, and there are still many people left for agricultural planting. There is not much pressure on the tribe.

Mining is very difficult for weak humans, but it is quite easy for strong dwarves like them.

As they ate and drank, the atmosphere on the field gradually became lively.

It was very easy for the dwarves to deal with it. After a drink, the dwarves who had doubts in their hearts were relieved and completely agreed with Chu Xin's territory.

They did not resist Chu Xin and his territory, and the temporary home of the Magic Crystal Mine was immediately forgotten by them.

On the contrary, they are quite satisfied with the days of drinking and eating.

All that is needed is for Chu Xin to provide them with enough good wine, a few sips to go down, not to mention Zerg, abyssal demons, even if the Zerg Mother comes, they will dare to go up and be tough.

In any case, this kind of life is far better than the days of hiding in the mine and not daring to go out, barely making a living by hunting some wild animals.

In fact, the life of the Black Rock Tribe in the Magic Crystal Mine was very difficult, because the original residence in the area of ​​the Black Rock Mountain Range was discovered by the slave capture team, and after breaking through the bottom of the ground, they fled all the way here.

Because they were worried about being caught, they had caught some underground creatures to eat during this time. If Chu Xin came a little later, they might have to consider going out hunting at the risk of being caught.

That's why the dwarves agreed to join Chu Xin's territory so quickly.

Compared to being captured as a slave, they had no reason to refuse such a favorable condition.

Under the influence of alcohol, a large number of dwarves fell to the ground quickly, and they fell asleep lying on the ground unsuspecting.

The dwarf's personality is bold and stubborn, and since he recognized Chu Xin's territory, he naturally didn't have too much defense.

As the leader of the tribe, Badance still remained awake. He touched his head in embarrassment, and smiled apologetically at Chu Xin, while feeling a little nervous in his heart.

For this evening's meal, Bardance estimated that the starving tribe under his command had eaten several thousand catties of grain and nearly a hundred catties of wine.

He was a little worried in his heart because he had incurred such a large amount of consumption before he even started working. The lord turned his back on him.

Chu Xin seemed to see his worry, smiled and patted the dwarf on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I can still afford such a small amount of food, but starting tomorrow morning, I hope that what I see is not a bunch of drunks. You can drink alcohol, but you can't delay work."

"For tonight, you stay here first, and someone will come to build a house for you tomorrow. But starting tomorrow morning, you will enter the mine and start mining."

"Yes, my lord!" Bardance replied in a rough voice.

After Chu Xin left, he took out the half-small barrel of wine he had kept privately from under his buttocks, "ton ton ton" just a few gulps down, burped in satisfaction, and casually lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Such a day, so cool!
