The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 353 Long-term cooperation and new ways out
  "I didn't expect that there would be such a peaceful and peaceful town in such a remote place. Chief Allen, your abilities really impress us rough guys!!"

Allen did not bring these slave-catching gang members into the village, but gave them a temporary residence on the edge of Green Lake. Come to think of it, this group of slave hunters would not feel confident walking into Allen's tribe. When everyone was wary of each other, Allen would not force it.

"There's nothing to admire. Compared to the outside world, we only have peace and tranquility here."

The places destroyed by the legend earlier have been repaired in more than half a year, and no traces of the battle can be seen anymore.

The Green Lake is Allen's favorite place. The lake is clear and clean. It is also the best place for many people in the tribe to exercise their bodies. Although the area of ​​​​the Green Lake has not expanded in more than ten years, of course it cannot expand. Those patches of cultivated land Its opportunity to expand has been blocked for a long time, but the volume of the lake has increased a lot.

Nowadays, the deepest part of Green Lake is at least 15 meters away from the lake surface. The shape of an inverted triangle extends downwards like a staircase, allowing tribesmen of all stages of the tribe to choose the appropriate depth for exercise based on their own strength and needs.

"Albian just gave me a general introduction to the price of your slave-catching group before. Now can you tell me in detail?"

After some simple greetings, the relationship between the two parties became closer, and they were no longer as strangers as before. Allen brought the topic back and asked seriously about what he cared about most.

"However, if we really want to cooperate, I hope it will be a long-term and stable relationship. No matter how capable you are, my tribe can take advantage of you."

"So, at this price, I hope you can show sincerity."

"Clan Chief Allen, please rest assured that the prices of our slave-catching group have always been fair and reasonable. However, your tribe is remote after all, and we have to deliver goods to your door. There are fluctuations in the price. I believe you should understand... "

Talking about business between two alien races is like this. Allen has done this kind of thing a lot in recent years, and it is said that the honest and honest dwarf does not seem to be good at this.

Next to him, there was a group of mercenaries and the transfer personnel of Green Lake Village. The hobgoblins and bugbears brought by the team this time were sorted into categories, and they were sorting out and registering them. They were very busy.

The group of goblins who were captured from nowhere, with innocent and frightened eyes wide open, huddled on the ground and allowed a group of people to point at them.

"Clan leader, there are 177 goblins in total, including 94 hobgoblins and 83 bugbears..."

Tony the dwarf took his notes and ran over to report to Allen. After some writing and calculation, he reported a value to Allen.

"The total price is 1034 gold coins and 21 silver coins."

"Oh, I see."

Allen nodded, then looked at the dwarf in front of him.

"Captain Aragon, do you need to do the calculation again?"

"No need, I trust your calculations, just forget about the small change."

Dwarf Alegon shook his head and replied coolly.

"Then I will ask someone to prepare funds for you, and the village has also prepared some drinks and food for you. How about I send someone to deliver it to you?"

"Thank you, Chief Allen, for your kindness. We are used to eating our own food."

"That's fine, whatever you want."

Allen shrugged indifferently, then thought of something and asked casually: "How long will it take next time you deliver the goods?"

"Well, generally speaking, it takes about 10 months, but your tribe is far away, so it will probably take a year. But next time we come, we will have a lot more goods. I hope Chief Allen can prepare them in advance. funds."

Aligon came here this time just to explore the way. He needed to find out the strength of Allen's tribe and their financial situation, so he only brought a hundred or so slaves here.

"Don't worry about this, I will never miss you a copper coin!"

Allen answered confidently, but in fact his heart was racing, thinking about how many times the family's industry and funds could support such a transaction.

The transaction went smoothly. Both parties had the intention of long-term cooperation, so naturally there would be no dispute over the wealth of a mere thousand gold coins. After resting for a night in Green Lake Village, Aligon left with his 30-odd team members the next day.

Of course, Allen doesn't have to worry about the rest of settling the slaves. The bosses and supervisors below are already familiar with such matters.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Clan leader, you are looking for me."

The dwarf female Roberta, the servant and student of the late Mr. Ferok, has been in Green Lake Village for several years, and she is very satisfied with the life here. The only regret is that there is too little use for money in Green Lake Village. This leaves Roberta and her group of dwarf goblins who came to Green Lake Village from Thorn Castle to have bags of shining gold coins but no money to spend. The place.

"Are you still used to living in our village?"

Although Allen has been traveling for several years, the tribesmen in the village are very friendly to dwarfs like Roberta, especially a group of young people in the village. At this time, Roberta's face was green, and her eyes were filled with warmth and joy. It could be seen that her life was not bad.

Of course, this is inevitable. Apart from the courtesy given to them by the people in the village, they are all goblins from top to bottom. They no longer need to live based on people's faces. How could Roberta and the others live an uncomfortable life.

"Get used to it, it's going to be pretty good."

Roberta is also a knowledgeable person. The bugbear in front of her is now a legendary figure. It is rare that the other party suddenly thinks of her and sends someone to summon this level. There must be something that needs her to do.

"Used to it."

Allen nodded, his eyes were kind, and he didn't have the air of a strong man at all, but in Roberta's eyes, there was a sense of calmness and self-power, which made him feel uneasy.

"However, after a while, the clan may need you to travel far away to do something and live outside for a period of time. I wonder if you are willing to go?" It seemed like he was asking, but Roberta peeked at Allen's face from the corner of her eye. , but saw a trace of unquestionable attitude, so he did not hesitate and nodded in agreement: "It is also our obligation as a member of the tribe to be willing to contribute to the tribe."

"Then I'm sorry to bother you. Here's the thing. I'm going to send a team of people to Mansha City to do business and run a few noodle restaurants..."

Allen had this idea for more than ten years, but it wasn't until the arrival of the slave-catching group that Allen felt a little pressure that he decided to implement it.

For the tribesmen in the village, there is generally no problem in letting them work. Let them go out and work hard as adventurers. With Kerr and the others' experience, Allen feels that there is no big problem, except for the matter of business. There are really not many people who have this ability and insight.

After much deliberation, only the dozen or so people left by old man Philip had this ability, which led to the current conversation between Allen and Roberta.

"No problem, I will do my best to get this matter done!!"

Roberta looked excited, full of interest and confidence in the task assigned to her by Allen this time.

As I said before, everything in Green Lake Village is good, but it is too bland. Although Roberta and the others gained respect and freedom, they also lost the prosperous scene of the civilized world. The world is never perfect, and if you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something. Roberta herself can't tell whether she prefers her current life or her time in Thornburg.

But at least this time, when Allen sent her out to open a branch of Allen's Pasta House, she accepted it happily.

After explaining the matter to Roberta, shortly after Roberta left, several more majestic figures appeared in Allen's stone castle.

"Gousheng, are you interested in going out and traveling?"

Among the younger generation, Gou Sheng and Heitou are several years older than Kerr and the others, so they cannot play together with Kerr and the others. But in terms of strength, the best young people like Kerr and Bush have now caught up, which makes the status of Gou Sheng, Jill, and Jay seem a bit embarrassing.

Going up, the older guys like Pavao and Dashan still hold the positions of various important leaders. In addition, the strength and prestige of the young people are also somewhat inferior, which prevents them from rising up; going down, Kerr, Shu The strength of these younger guys has improved rapidly and they have begun to challenge their status.

In the past, being able to successfully break through to the intermediate level was already the dream of the goblins. But now, with the increase in the tribe's population, the improvement of inheritance crystals, and the progress in the dishes that Allen has been thinking about to assist breakthroughs, the tribe's The number of mid-level items is no longer as valuable as before.

The surest way to secure their current position in the tribe is to successfully advance to a high level. In this way, no matter how the tribe changes, they can have a place in the tribe.

However, it is so difficult to break through to high-level. The Green Field Tribe now has a population of over a thousand people, and there are only a few people who have advanced to high-level. Except for Kerr, a genius with extraordinary talent, none of the other high-level people are nearly 40 years old. A middle-aged man in his s.

"what??"

Gou Sheng, Gill, and the others all looked sideways, their eyes flickering.

If you say you don't want to travel, you must be lying. Although the life in the clan is comfortable, for ambitious young people, this place is just a prison to imprison them. In the past, for the sake of tribal security, Allen basically did not allow the young adults in the tribe to travel and have adventures. No one can guarantee whether these crude bastards will want to return to tribal life after seeing the colorful world outside. .

After all, at that time, Allen didn't believe how strong these guys' sense of belonging and identification with the tribe was.

But things are different now. The inheritance in the clan is improving step by step, his own strength has reached the legendary level, and of course the lives of his clan members are getting better and better. These are Allen's confidence and confidence. No matter how exciting and tempting the outside world is, it will never be as good as a safe haven.

Of course, the most important thing is that the tribe needs to find other sources of income. It is naturally no problem to just rely on the income from the pasta restaurant to maintain the current scale of the village and town. However, as Allen was promoted to Legend, his ambitions became more and more inflated. He even hoped that in his two hundred years of legendary life, he could lead the Green Field Tribe to truly settle in Mansha City and become a member of the Alliance. Official member.

To achieve this goal, Allen will have a long road to go, and there will be many difficulties on the way.

Until now, there has not even been a medium-sized tribe with a scale of more than 5000 in the Green Field Plain. The reason is very simple and practical. That is, there is basically no valuable output in this barren land, and there is not enough. Food to support such a large tribe.

Population and economy are two important factors for a tribe to grow, but in the final analysis, economy is actually the most important aspect. As long as you have money, you can contact slave-catching groups like the current Green Field Tribe, and quickly gain a large number of people through illegal means. In the same way, as long as you have enough of yourself, you can purchase various materials to support your tribe even if you don't have enough land to cultivate.

The two gray dwarves in Manduli are not alone now. Not only do they have two cubs under their knees, but Allen also tried his best to find several gray dwarf subordinates for them in the past few years, forming a more professional exploration team. , but the useful information obtained is too little.

In such a huge territory, there are only a few iron ore, copper ore, and tin mines with unknown reserves. To be honest, the value of these minerals should be the most common and cheapest in metal mines. It is almost impossible to rely on the mining of these minerals as an economic source for the tribe. It is considered good if the output can sustain the needs and reserves of the tribe.

As a separate business, the village pasta restaurant has a considerable income. With professionals like Charles helping to manage the pasta restaurant in Thornburg Castle, the net income that can be sent back to the tribe in a year can already be about 3000 gold coins. However, excluding the expenses of purchasing various daily necessities and the benefits distributed to the clan members, it is considered good to have half of the balance now.

The establishment of a new branch of the pasta restaurant in Mansha City is an important benefit for Allen to increase the income of the tribe. However, at the same time, he also hopes to find a suitable path and find other economic opportunities besides pasta. source.

After some investigation, Allen felt that it would be a suitable choice for the warriors of the clan to go out on adventures as adventurers and mercenaries.

"What, don't you have the guts?"

Allen smiled slightly and asked with an excited look.

"What's wrong with this!!"

"that is!!"

"It is also a good thing for you to go out and have adventures. We bugbears are brave warriors by nature. Only by fighting on the battlefield can we reflect our value!!"

"Didn't you notice? In the past ten years, the number of advanced members in the clan was only in their early 30s. However, during the battle with the devil a few years ago, more than a dozen advanced members suddenly appeared in the clan. This just shows that we bugbears need to fight on the battlefield and face life and death to understand ourselves!!"

"..."

"Clan leader, just tell us how we should go on an adventure!!"

"That's right, this is the great goblin of my Green Field Tribe!!"

Allen's eyes were relieved and he began to tell Gou Sheng and Jill about his plan.
