Chapter 247: Events in Green Lake Village (please vote!!!)
While Allen was busy outside, Green Lake Village did not stop its progress.
According to Allen's plan, Axiao, along with his tribe and a bunch of slaves, began to build a mine near the pyrite area discovered on Auror Hill. As the most knowledgeable person after Allen left, Phillip was forcefully taken out of the village by Ah Xiao to provide him with advice and sketches of the mine.
Three months have passed, and a mine covering an area of more than 3000 square meters has begun to take shape.
A Xiao was fighting for his breath, asking why Allen chose Hua Snake to be the acting leader of the village instead of himself. It stands to reason that he, Ah Xiao, has never made Allen unhappy in the slightest when he has been in front of Allen. As long as Allen says a word, he can swallow even the dragon meat of unknown origin and with a high probability of poisonous side effects. But in the end, in Allen's eyes, he was still no match for Hua Snake, which made A Xiao feel unbalanced.
For this reason, when Allen asked himself to be in charge of the mine, he secretly made up his mind to do this job well and give him a satisfactory answer when Allen came back.
"Master, look, what did we find?"
The gray dwarf Manduli had a look of joy on his face. He walked very fast with his short legs, holding a black thing in his hand, and shouted at Ah Xiao from a distance.
"You old boy, what good things did you pick up again? Look at how happy you are!!"
After taking charge of his own business, Axiao, on Philip's suggestion, named himself a mine owner and was very proud of it. Of course, because of this suggestion, Phillip was looked at in a different light by Ah Xiao, and he was no longer as picky as before.
This is also related to Philip's flattery to A Xiao, making various preparations to suit him, and after understanding A Xiao's inner thoughts, he focused on making suggestions for A Xiao, speeding up the progress of the mine, and even more so I feel that this human being is really talented and I have no choice but to reuse him.
On the other hand, the gray dwarf Manduli has lived under the high-pressure policies of the drow since he was a child. He is very familiar with such things as flattering, and he also treats Ah Xiao with respect. Not to mention how Manduli and Sha Lihua cheated and cheated in private, but in front of Ah Xiao, they had always been role models of honesty, diligence, and hard work without complaint. Compared to the shrewd and suspicious drow elves, A Xiao is really a fool who can be fooled in the eyes of these guys, and he doesn't even know it.
Of course, just fooling Ah Xiao is not enough. Everyone still has to produce their own results. If their superiors are happy, their lives will be more carefree, right?
Therefore, while Philip was working hard to help Ah Xiao build the mine, Saliva was leading the manpower to cut rocks and collect local materials for the construction of the mine, while Manduli was always wandering around the Oro Hills area, looking at Are there any other signs of minerals?
To be honest, an Auror hill only covers an area of 2 square miles. It took Manduli 3- months to complete the exploration, which shows how lazy he has been these days.
However, this Manduli is really lucky. Although the Auror Hills is not big, the wealth hidden underground is really not small. For example, the value of the things that Manduli is holding in his hands with joy now even exceeds the value of the things he is currently holding. New pyrite mine.
"Owner, we have found black coal!!! With this black coal, our village can start smelting iron ore!!"
Manduli couldn't help but be unhappy. Although he was also very lazy, the dwarf's innate interest in forging made him always hope that one day he could create a world-famous artifact. Naturally, the dream of an artifact was still a bit far away, but after finding the pyrite, Manduli was unable to hone his casting skills as much as he wanted due to the lack of fuel, and he felt that his skills were a bit rusty.
When they were in the underground world, they never worried about fuel. The underground volcanoes and lava rivers that provide light to the underground world are the best sources of fuel, and they are inexhaustible. But when they got to the ground, the simple matter of fuel broke Manduli's heart and broke his legs.
"yes???"
Not only Manduli was happy, but Axiao was naturally also very happy. This time he found a mineral, which is extremely important black coal. This thing alone can make Axiao proud and win this when Allen comes back. The first achievement.
"good very good!!"
"Where is the black coal mine located? Is it far from our mine??"
"It's not far, not far, just a dozen miles west of our mine and you'll be there!!"
Manduli burst out laughing. When Philip, who was supervising the work in the mine, heard the news and came over, he even raised the black coal in his hand to show it to Philip.
"Phillip, you came just in time. Think of a way. Let's take care of the black coal mine before Allen comes back!!"
Seeing that Phillip had arrived unannounced, Ah Xiao didn't care, but made a request to Phillip full of fighting spirit and ideas.
"Master, I'm afraid this matter..."
Philip was a little embarrassed. The master in front of him was very eager to succeed. In order to meet the deadline for the mine, he squeezed the slaves below to death. He started working from dawn every day until late at night. No matter how good the physical condition of the slaves is, they can't stand to work like this day and night. Allen had promised to give the slaves time to rest, but after arriving at the Auror Hills, Axiao forgot about this matter. , not giving slaves a way to survive at all.
Over time, the trolls and lizard slaves naturally had to resist and struggle, and what they finally gained from their resistance was a more severe punishment from A Xiao and a heavier task. In just three months, the slave team of only 3 people lost 30 people in A Xiao's hands, and most of the remaining ones were thin and weak, with most of their physical strength reduced.
It wasn't that Philip didn't want to give advice, but every time he spoke, the words came to his lips. Seeing the two gray dwarves around him making all kinds of flattering remarks regardless of the consequences in order to gain favor, he could only keep silent. If Phillip himself wants to keep his position in front of A Xiao, he must not contradict Chief A Xiao, otherwise he may be outmatched by two shameless gray dwarves at any time.
"What? You can't handle such a simple thing, right?"
Ah Xiao's eyes were a little unhappy, and his happy expression gradually turned gloomy.
"No, it's just that we have too few manpower now. It will take time to complete this iron mine alone. If we waste time by building a coal mine, I'm afraid that when the patriarch comes back, you won't be able to survive on either side. On the contrary, it’s inappropriate.”
Phillip had no choice but to blame Allen. He knew that what A Xiao cared about most was Allen's respect and attitude.
"...Well, this is indeed a problem. Let's do this. You finish your current work first, and I'll go back to the village."
After mentioning Allen, Ah Xiao's attitude really wavered. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the two people beside him and said.
"Don't be impatient, Manduli. The mining will begin sooner or later."
"Yes, my lord."
After appeasing several stewards in the mine, Ah Xiao hurried back to Green Lake Village happily. The first thing he did was to find Hua She, the current steward of the village, to discuss a major matter with him.
This is Ah Xiao's return home after a month. Although according to his pace and ability, there is no problem in going back and forth in one day, but for some reason, he just doesn't like to be in Hua Snake's management of the village. Instead of staying in the village, he would rather hide in the Auror Hills and endure hardship.
The changes in the village have not been too big. After a large number of people were transferred to the mining area, the repair work in the village became very slow. However, A Xiao could still see a few strange faces. Those were all recently recruited by Hua She. tribesmen.
Allen's emphasis on increasing the population has affected the way Flower Snake manages the village. Goblins can be found everywhere in the wilderness, especially among unpopular wanderers. If it were the former Green Field Tribe, faced with most of the old, weak, sick and disabled wandering goblins, they would either drive them away or simply kill them cruelly, using them as a source of food. But things are different now. After the Green Field Tribe began to grow their own food, they no longer had to worry about the source of food. Once they had a surplus, they no longer exterminated these wanderers.
Flower Snake is more radical than Allen. When Allen takes in goblins, he has to see if these people are worth taking in. Those who are too old will not be accepted, and those who are disabled will be useless... To be honest, if those wandering goblins are not of little value, they will not be able to do so. Will the tribe accept it? They have more or less problems, so when Allen was the head of the family, they rarely took in those wanderers.
But after Hua Snake came to power, almost all the goblins who entered the tribe's territory, whether they were old, weak, sick, or disabled, as long as they were of some use, were accepted by him. Over and over again, in just 3 months, he took in more than 20 tall and dwarf goblins. Of course, the vast majority of them were dwarf goblins. There were still very few hobgoblins and bugbears who would become wanderers.
In addition, Flower Snake also took the initiative to find Boban of the Ivan Gnoll tribe next door, and negotiated with him to use the population of the genus Goblin in exchange for food. A dwarf can be exchanged for food twice the same weight. Only hobgoblins and bugbears can be exchanged for food three times their body weight. This deal was negotiated very easily. Boban's position as leader is not yet firm. He needs to use food to win over the people's hearts and minds. At the same time, he can also connect with the Green Field Tribe to protect the Tribe from prying eyes. .
The Ivan tribe has already known about the Green Field Tribe's massive annihilation of several surrounding tribes. No matter how remote and ignorant the place is, they may not be less wary of the surrounding powerful tribes than those in the middle of the wilderness.
At the same time, Hua She was also secretly happy for the trick he suddenly thought of. He asked the Ivan tribe to be his thugs. No matter whether the matter was successful or not, there would be no loss for their Green Field tribe, so why not do it.
Of course, there was a harvest. In order to exchange food and maintain the existing relationship, Boban put a lot of effort into exploring the surrounding tribes. In the end, he actually found a nest of Dadi hiding in the valley. Jing family. In the end, Boban exchanged his entire family of four hobgoblins for more than a thousand pounds of grain given by Flower Snake, and then took it back to share the grain with the tribe. Everyone was happy.
"Hua She, let me tell you, you have to give me some manpower this time. I have to go out and catch some more slaves, otherwise my mine will be shelved!!"
A Xiao didn't want to see Hua She, but he had to come to Hua She for his great cause. Since Philip at the mine said there was not enough manpower, wouldn't he find a way to get more manpower and come back to solve the problem?
There are not many others in the wilderness, but tribes and people are everywhere in the wilderness. As long as you are strong enough and can afford to feed people, no matter how many people you have, you can get them. It is just a matter of time.
Hua She has long heard that A Xiao does not treat slaves as human beings in the mine. He will not care about the casualties of slaves. However, A Xiao only considers short-term interests and does not consider long-term interests. He is very worried. Is looking down upon.
In just three months, a group of slaves who had been well trained in the village had changed into what they are now after he took them out. The slightly older and thin ones were basically exhausted to death. Among the less than 3 remaining slaves, 20-5 are children who can work relatively easily. The physical strength of the remaining 6 or so adults is not as good as before, and their motivation and actual workload have completely changed. All kinds.
“This is impossible for the time being!!”
Hua Snake did not refuse directly, but stated his reason tactfully: "Now the food emergency in the village has bottomed out. It will take at least more than a month for the new season's oats to mature. You have to go outside to get a group of slaves." When we come back, what will we do to feed them?"
"Now all the manpower I have is being used to help with hunting, fishing, and picking berries to fill the food gap in the village. I don't have any extra manpower for you to attack other villages." "One more thing, yours Have you ever calculated how much manpower the mine needs to supplement? Have you thought about which tribes you are going to attack to capture the manpower you need?"
"..."
The more Hua She spoke, the uglier Ah Xiao's face became, until he couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Hua She's words.
"To put it bluntly, you just don't want to support me? Don't forget, Patriarch Allen said when he went out that he asked you to cooperate with the work of my mine. Is this how you cooperate?"
Ah Xiao gritted his teeth and looked at Hua Snake with excitement.
Hua She was unmoved and still looked very calm: "It's not that I don't support you, it's just that the current situation in the village is not enough for us to add another group of people to eat!!"
"I also admit that the food inventory in the village was underestimated before, and too much food was spent generously, which led to the current predicament. I also have problems myself."
"Wait another two months, when the oats on the lake shore are mature and harvested, and I will allocate manpower to you right away, how about that?"
Hua She took the position of leader and presided over all matters in the village. Although the power in his hands was fascinating, it also made him know that Allen was not easy. Over the past few days, Hua Snake had to think hard about whether he had made a mistake every step he took, and whether it could bring changes or influence to the clan.
The strong desire to compete drove Hua She to want to achieve something to prove that he was no worse than Allen, his opponent in his heart. Therefore, Hua Snake's actions during these ten days in Allen's position were a bit big. Although the gains were not small, they did create the dilemma he said himself.
"Two months? Allen has already come back in 2 months!! If he sees that the task assigned to me has not been completed, how do you want me to explain to him!!!"
A Xiao was furious, and the loud noise even attracted Camellia, Dashan and others, who came to Allen's stone castle to see what was going on.
Camellia and Dashan listened for a while, and finally found out with great difficulty what exactly caused the two leaders in the village to quarrel like this.
It's also because Ah Xiao has such a violent temper. He keeps shouting and won't let go. What he says is confusing and hard to understand. Thanks to Hua Snake, he was able to recount the whole story for a while under A Xiao's monk, and then Camellia and the others knew the reason.
"I said, Ah Xiao, what happened to you really happened suddenly. Just half a month ago, we just exchanged a few hobgoblins with the jackals of the Ivan tribe and gave them more than 1300 pounds of oats. Now in the village Those granaries are all empty. The food that Chief Allen promised to distribute to us every month, I'm afraid I won't be able to get it out this month, let alone if you want to go out and bring back a group of people now, what will we use to feed us? !!”
Camellia's vision is not high, and she has complained about Hua She's recent actions. The granary she was originally responsible for has been continuously flowing out of the grain for ten days, and it is about to run out of food. How can she be happy?
What will be gained in exchange for the large-scale reduction of grain? A group of old, weak, sick and disabled guys, apart from being able to eat, it is useless at all to make them work. They are simply useless.
Now it's better, Ah Xiao suddenly came back and said that he wanted to find someone to bring back more laborers to help him build the mine! ! ! In the past three months, their Auror mine has been the largest expense. All kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, and oats have been transported there by the truckload, but they have not seen any actual results. Compared with the flower snake using food to house the goblins and enrich the population. , what happened with Ah Xiao made Camellia even more unhappy.
Therefore, Camellia will naturally not stand on A Xiao's side.
"Humph!!"
Facing the single Camellia, Axiao was still somewhat daydreaming in his heart. Although his head was hot at this moment, he had no intention of irritating Camellia. He just hummed and looked up at the ceiling of the stone castle without opening his eyes to see the flower snake. One glance.
"I said, we are all brothers. Let's sit down and talk about anything, right?"
"It's none of your business!!"
"Don't get involved in this matter!!"
Dashan is becoming more and more marginalized now. Although his strength as a level 8 warrior makes him still the backbone of the clan's hunting team, his lazy temperament also gives Hua Snake a headache. As soon as he opened his mouth to make peace with Hua She and Ah Xiao, the two spoke in unison and retorted Dashan's words, causing Dashan's face to change color, which was very ugly! !
"Fuck, who the hell cares about your business!!"
After feeling furious for a while, Dashan turned around and left after saying a word. He really couldn't stay in the stone castle any longer.
Walking towards his own stone building on the mountainside, the more Dashan thought about it, the angrier he became. Once upon a time, he was second only to Allen in the clan. He remembered that when he accompanied Allen for the first time out of the green field plain, Hua Snake and Ah Xiao two guys are still my followers! ! But looking at it now, the two of them have such a bad attitude towards themselves. They don't take their big brother seriously at all. They often reprimand and punish them, which makes them embarrassed in front of their tribe and family members.
"No, I can't be bullied by them anymore!!"
Back home, Dashan was still angry. He sat on a wooden bench and was sulking alone. He looked at the great gnome Weier who was carrying two dolls and was stunned. Then he took the children and stayed away from Dashan. Dashan is lazy and prone to losing his temper. If something goes wrong for him, he will come back to vent his anger on him, and sometimes he will even hit others. Therefore, the experienced Weier knew to stay away from Dashan as soon as she saw him like this.
Weier could see that the mountains were getting suffocating, but the eldest son Kerry in her arms didn't know how to read adults' faces. When she saw her father, who she thought liked playing with her, came into the house, she was struggling to escape from her mother's arms. He screamed to find the mountain. Kerry is now able to crawl around on the ground. This is when he is most curious and lively. Weier could not control it, but in the end he could not withstand his son's struggle. As soon as he put him on the ground, the little guy grunted. Climbing towards the mountain.
"Well, my good son!!"
Just when Weier was about to stop Kerry's movement, she turned around and saw her eldest son Kerry crawling towards her. Dashan's gloomy face finally had a smile. He picked him up and held him until the little guy was full. There was a burst of kisses on the finely furred little face, making the little guy giggle.
"Weier, do you think my personality needs to change?"
Suddenly, Dashan turned around and asked Weier confusedly.
"what?"
Weier was at a loss and didn't know how to answer this question.
"Alas, asking you is like asking in vain!!"
Seeing the hesitation on Weier's face and the way he hesitated to speak, Dashan was furious and turned his head away from the stupid bitch like Weier.
In fact, Dashan has already made a decision in his heart. He just needs someone to help him strengthen his determination at this time. But obviously, in the end, this determination still has to be made by himself!
After Big Mouth took a bite on Kerri's tender cheek, Dashan murmured to himself: "Even if it's for a little guy like you, I have to fight for my reputation. I can't live like this laughing stock anymore!! "
After making up his mind, Dashan's whole person seemed to have changed slightly, but he couldn't tell what the specific changes were. Wei'er, who was most familiar with the mountain, felt a slight change in the mountain. She opened her eyes and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find the difference. In the end, she hurriedly breastfed her daughter amidst her cries and forgot about it.
"boom!!"
"I'm the leader of the village now, and if I say no, I can't!!"
Hua Snake slapped his palm on the wooden table, causing the two wooden cups on the table to tremble. His majestic momentum approached A Xiao, and he firmly rejected A Xiao's nonsense.
"Hmph, when Allen comes back, I'll see how you explain to him!!"
Ah Xiao's eyes flickered, and his own strength was still inferior to the opponent's. At this time, facing the domineering Hua Snake, he finally became weaker and finally said a harsh word.
Ah Xiao, who came full of joy and excitement, could only go down the mountain with a look of anger and displeasure. He didn't even go back to his home to spend the night with his wife and children, so he just went down the mountain and left the village gate. He strode towards the direction of Auror Hills.
"Actually, there is no need for you to reject Ah Xiao so forcefully. As long as you speak nicely, he will eventually listen."
After A Xiao left, Camellia looked at A Xiao's leaving figure with some worry and said to Hua She.
"Now that I sit in the position of leader, I have to be responsible for all the clan members. I can't let everyone starve because of his willful behavior!!"
Hua She has been the temporary leader for some time, and he has gradually gained a bit of the prestige and momentum of a leader. A Xiao's plan seems to be a complete mistake, and he has tried to explain to him with nice words several times, but he doesn't listen. Do you have to obey whatever he says? ?
Camellia sighed secretly, something that was not a big deal in the first place was now a bit frozen due to the two people's stubborn tempers, which made her feel that something was wrong after all. But now that things have happened and the two parties involved are fine, it's not appropriate for her to continue to stay here. She still has a lot of things to do.
Thinking that I can quickly enter the second volume and release more updates, this can be regarded as speeding up the pace!
