The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 378 Acting
  In the days that followed, Allen couldn't take any time off. From time to time, people would find various reasons to approach him, and then they would find out about the Devil's Barbecue.

After completing the transaction with Metaru and the others, Allen did not hide the contents of the transaction with them, except that he exaggerated the terms of the transaction several times. Regarding Allen's exaggeration, Metaru and Ahmed also cooperated very well, using silence to replace various inquiries. Needless to say the meaning.

This is a matter of benefiting others and benefiting oneself. Allen can use this to have a larger negotiation bottom line, and Metaru and the others can seize this not-so-brief idle period and accumulate most of the materials that Allen told him. Of course, Metaru and the others are happier emotionally. Their opponents may have to pay a higher price to obtain the formula from Allen. This can be regarded as a gratifying thing.

Allen, who had saved a fortune, made another small fortune by relying on his control of the formula and seasonings. For Allen, who has always believed that even the smallest mosquitoes are meat, is there anything more worthy of happiness than this?
  Even the Oak Church was very interested in Allen's formula. After Nordin returned from the Western Front, he found Allen and obtained the formula from Allen after some transactions.

Although the major forces must have many potions and props more powerful than Allen's formula, there is nothing more suitable for today's wilderness than Allen's formula.

The aftermath of the wave of demons followed the action of the dark child lurking in the wilderness, and almost started a prairie fire in the wilderness again. Although they failed in the end, the chaos in the wilderness that had originally died out reappeared, and countless demon armies were wreaking havoc everywhere.

In the past, when the various tribes in the wilderness faced the bodies of demons, they would mostly burn them on the spot, except for the useful parts, to prevent the opponent's flesh and blood from corroding the land in the wilderness. This invisibly added a lot of trouble to the various tribes.

As Allen's formula gradually spreads, although many tribes have not been able to obtain the formula from Allen, the fact that the main ingredients of the formula are mid-level demons and devil corpses has been slowly leaked out, and then countless The tribe began to hoard and kill demons and demons.

"Alan, there is such a good thing, but you didn't tell us first. In the end, we were the last to know. It's really a joke!!"

Talibo, who had met once in Mansha City, came over from the Western Front. After arriving at Samai Lake, the first thing he found was Allen's felt tent, and he complained to Allen unceremoniously.

"Quickly, come up with that 'Ellen Devil's BBQ' recipe and tell me about it!"

Looking at Talibo's familiar face, Allen frowned slightly, then took two steps back.

"There's no problem if you want the formula, as long as you give appropriate compensation."

Even for the tribe that gave him recommendation documents, Allen did not give in at all. For the honor and obligations of their tribe, the Green Field Tribe had already lost more than forty tribesmen, and now they still want to blackmail them in the name of vassal. Alan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid you made the wrong calculation.

Just before Talibo arrived, an unfamiliar lizard man guest stepped into Allen's felt tent and left with satisfaction after a long period of communication and negotiation.

The Lizardman comes from the Deadwood Forest, a place 5-600 miles south of the Auror Hills in the Green Field Plains, and the tribe he belongs to is the Amansha Tribe, one of the 113 official members of the Mansa Alliance. It was after having a friendly exchange with the other party and laying the groundwork in advance that Allen would no longer worry about Taribo and the Snowmi tribe behind him like he is now.

The reason why Talibo dares to take advantage of Allen so brazenly is that the biggest reliance is the recommendation document that will expire in three years. The recommendation document update every five years is a means for each powerful tribe to exploit the tribes under its command. Many vassal tribes are subject to this, and they have to be careful with the overlord tribes above them, and they have to endure the pain to accept them. All kinds of difficulties.

The other vassals also have to worry about whether they will arouse the hatred and hostility of the old master if they rush to join the new clan. But for Allen and his clan, if they really want to lose face, , even if he switches jobs and joins other tribes again, Snowmi may not dare to make any big moves.

Everything stems from Allen's current strength, which makes the opponent need to carefully consider the gains and losses every time he makes a calculation.

"Hey, Allen, you are boring now. The relationship between you and my two clans is there. It's okay for you to find someone else to negotiate terms with, but if you still treat us like this, it's unjustifiable! !”

Talibo's eyes suddenly turned cold, but at least there was a bit of a smile on his face, as if he thought Allen was joking with him.

"Elder Talibo, I'm not kidding you. Our friendship is friendship and business is business. If you want my formula, you have to show your sincerity."

Allen was indifferent. He had already made plans when he exposed his formula. Not only did he complete the deal with the Amansha Lizardman Tribe, he also sent people to inquire about the situation of the Ajinaga Tribe and made several moves. Prepare.

When he chose Snowmi as the recommended tribe, Allen thought a lot about it. Now that the situation is different, many of his previous concerns have changed, so Allen's choices have become richer.

"...Alan"

The smile on Talibo's face gradually faded, and was instead shrouded in a dark cloud. He stared at Allen sullenly, without saying a word, and the scene became a little cold for a while.

"Chief Allen, you finally..."

With a cheerful tone, a dwarf opened the curtain of the felt tent and walked in. He wanted to talk to Allen as he walked, but when he spotted another figure in the felt tent, he was suddenly surprised and choked back what he said. go back.

"Elder Talibo, you are here too!"

The dwarf's clothes were very gorgeous, and he looked very brave. After seeing Talibo's face clearly, not only did he not look formal because of his status as a legendary strongman, but he just bent slightly and faced the tower calmly. After Ribo gave a greeting, he turned around and put on his friendly smile again, facing Allen directly.

"I'm sorry, Chief Allen, I didn't expect there would be guests in your felt tent. Otherwise, our conversation would be postponed to a later date?"

"So it's you, Gareth!"

It seems that not only the dwarf knows the legendary troll in front of him, but Talibo, a powerful elder in Snowmi, is also no stranger to the dwarf who is visiting Allen.

"No need to postpone, I think Elder Talibo will leave soon."

Allen smiled slightly and responded politely. At the same time, he stretched out his hand to welcome the compatriot named Gareth to the empty seat next to Talibo.

Talibo's eyes were cloudy and uncertain. After hearing Allen's answer, a surge of anger arose, but soon, he suppressed the anger again.

It is no coincidence that Gareth and Talibo are familiar with each other, because the tribes they belong to are neighbors and potential rivals.

It has been two days since Gareth, from the Ajinaga tribe, arrived at the Samai Lake military camp, but Alan, the master he wanted to visit, had been looking for various excuses until today someone suddenly came to tell him, You can go see Allen by yourself.

After seeing Talibo in Allen's felt tent, Gareth immediately understood what Allen's bugbear was planning, but he did not expose it. He had value for the bugbear, and he could also use it. opportunity to achieve the purpose of this trip.

"Hey, it's okay. You guys are chatting. I'm just listening. I won't disturb you, right?"

Faced with Allen's tactful farewell, Talibo did not want to follow Allen's wishes. He did not believe that Gareth's visit was just a coincidence, but at the same time, he was indeed interested in seeing the content of Allen's conversation.

"Then..." Gareth looked up at Allen. Seeing Allen's silence, he already understood what the other person was thinking, and quickly responded softly: "Don't bother, Elder Talibo should know sooner or later anyway."

Allen raised his head slowly at this time, nodded slightly, and then started chatting with Gareth as if no one else was around, and really left Talibo aside.

This conversation took a long time. As for the specific content, it goes without saying. It must be the same as the purpose of Talibo's coming.

The longer time passes, the more obvious the effect of Allen's barbecue is on the soldiers in the army. After all, the vast majority of the wilderness natives rely on combat talent to survive in the cracks of the four major civilizations. Now with this As soon as the food stimulated their fighting potential, many warriors who had accumulated enough knowledge and were just short of a little motivation, all improved to a higher level with the help of barbecue.

The more things like this happen, the more weight will be added to the value of Allen's barbecue. In addition, Allen himself secretly sent Lolo and Mauro to exaggerate the situation. In the end, there were so many messengers like now. It happened that I came to my door to ask for the formula.

"Then it's settled, Chief Allen."

Gareth toasted to Alan with satisfaction, and used prairie kumiss as a gift to celebrate the agreement between the two parties.

"After I return, I will have people prepare the corresponding supplies and deliver them directly to your village, Chief Allen."

"Okay, I have sent someone back first. After you deliver the supplies, someone will naturally give you the corresponding formula."

Allen nodded slightly, with a bright smile on his face, which made Talibo, who had been working on the background wall for a long time, feel very depressed.

Several times, Talibo almost couldn't help himself and wanted to interrupt Allen's conversation, but he endured it under Allen's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.

Allen's promotion to Legend does not mean that Talibo will have much fear. After all, Talibo was promoted to Legend much earlier than Allen, not to mention his physical strength. But now the negotiation between Gareth and Allen is actually to put it bluntly, Allen is beating Talibo and the Snowmi tribe behind him, making him understand his inner dissatisfaction.

It was precisely because he knew Allen's psychology that Talibo could hold back his anger and just watch indifferently as his old neighbor argued with Allen again and again, and finally reached an agreement.

Last time, I pretended to be a passing strongman and wanted to wreak havoc on Green Lake Village. So far, it seems that Allen, the bugbear, has not noticed it. However, things such as recommending documents, and later forcibly recruiting Green Field tribe warriors, etc., ultimately buried dissatisfaction with the Snowmi tribe in Allen's heart.

This time Talibo came to discuss the formula with Allen. What he did at the beginning was actually just a test to see where Allen, the bugbear, was at. If the other party really surrenders, it means that Allen himself has not yet perfected his positioning as a legend, and he also has a deep understanding of the status of his own tribe in his heart.

Then, Talibo can use Allen's bottom line to further seek more benefits for the Snowmi tribe.

Of course, as it is now, it is not a big deal for Allen to reject his previous proposal with a strong attitude. Talibo had already been mentally prepared on the way here. At this time, he was doing all kinds of things in front of Allen. Pai, it's just acting.

But what Talibo didn't expect was that when he came to negotiate this time, he would happen to meet the goblin neighbor next door.

On the other side, Gareth, who accompanied Allen in a good show, actually held his breath, because he knew very well that in order to act in front of Talibo, Allen would inevitably have a conflict between their two tribes. Negotiations will cost money, and the conditions will be more stringent than other targets. This will facilitate subsequent negotiations with the Snowmi tribe where Talibo is located.

However, Gareth also had to suffer by himself. The Oak Church suffered heavy losses, and the one that had the greatest impact on the wilderness tribe should be their Ajinaga tribe. The two fortresses at the exits of the Katoer Grand Canyon are the most profitable passes on the Mansha Corridor trade route. Many tribes have been eyeing them in the past. The Ajinaga tribe can always occupy these two fortresses by relying on Only with the support of the Oak Church can we stand at both ends of Catal Canyon for more than ten generations.

Nowadays, the slumber of Silvanus, the father of the oak tree, has dealt a heavy blow to the Oak Church. At the same time, as time goes by, the Ajnaga tribe will encounter more challenges. After all, without the support of the gods behind the Oak Church, a dangerous and dangerous pass like Catoer Fortress, where every inch of land is at a premium, will naturally become the coveted target of other powerful forces.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the tribes of the five big bosses in the Mansha Alliance will definitely seize an opportunity at some point and extend their black hands to the Ajinaga tribe.

Unless the Ajinaga tribe changes jobs again and chooses new supporters, it may be able to get out of the current predicament with the support of the other party. However, it is not that easy to abandon the old master of the past. Before the Oak Father fell asleep, he was the core god of the natural system. The other gods under his command would not dare to dig into the Oak Church in the short term. At least, he had to be a little bit attitude of allies.

Of course, as long as the ruler of the Ajinaga tribe is not in trouble, he cannot do anything against the Oak Church at this time. This skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the Oak Church declines, one of them will be killed. There is still no problem with the Ajnaga tribe.

It just so happens that during such a sensitive period, the Oak Church needs to use iron-blooded means to deal with some short-sighted guys, so as to deter other vassals.

Since the road of changing jobs for a new boss is temporarily unavailable, the Ajinaga tribe can only aim to strengthen themselves and win more allies and other means as assistance to achieve the purpose of intimidating other peepers. At this time, in the negotiation with Allen, Gareth did not have much choice no matter from which aspect, so he could only be led by Allen and became the opponent's accomplice for a time.

After sending Gareth away, Allen turned his attention to Talibo again, and then drifted towards the door with questioning eyes.

"Ellen, look at you, you have settled the matter with the people in Ajinaga, so the relationship between us is closer, so naturally we should not be left behind, right?"

Talibo had already made a decision in his heart. At this moment, it seemed that he could not see Allen's eyes seeing off the guests. He directly put on his friendly smile and came forward to start a new round of negotiations with Allen enthusiastically. .

Allen's eyes flickered, and while he was pleased with himself, he didn't push too hard. He just followed the other person's wishes and continued to sit down, and the chat between the two became more harmonious and natural.

Half a day later, Talibo left with satisfaction, and Allen, who stayed in the felt tent at the same time, looked equally satisfied. At least after the scene with Gareth before, the conditions given by Talibo were also satisfactory. It can be considered a peer-to-peer exchange.

After another month or two, tribal representatives came to negotiate one after another. Allen's incomplete formula was sold to nearly a hundred stores. The gains were definitely worth the money. Being thousands of miles away in Green Lake Village is even more profitable than a windfall.

Of course, this formula is not an exclusive monopoly after all. Although Allen has spent a lot of time talking about it, individually, the actual value of the formula is still quite different, but this has made Allen satisfied.

After a rough calculation, the conditional returns from nearly a hundred companies should be enough to exchange for several crystal inheritances. In a short period of time, Allen will not have to worry about cooperation with Aligon and the others.

The only thing that makes Allen feel regretful is that the conditions offered by each family are mostly materials produced exclusively by their tribes. For example, the three major royal families on the grassland provide horses, while the kobold tribe mostly provides metal resources. This makes Allen After receiving these supplies, you have to spend some effort to exchange them for funds or things that your tribe needs.

However, among these negotiation conditions, the only thing Allen insists on is that when his tribe sends chefs to open pasta restaurants in these business partner tribes in the future, the other side cannot make things difficult or persecute him.

Allen can already imagine what it will be like one day when he builds 'Alan's Pasta House' and spreads it to every corner of the wilderness.

Selling the formula is just a stop-gap measure, and the purpose is also to raise funds for the Green Field Tribe. In the end, if the tribe in the barren Green Field Plain wants to have a stable income, they still have to rely on the delicacies developed by Allen. There is a way out.
