Chief don't slap in the face

Chapter 372

After the other dragon people looked at each other, they also left the table one after another, and all knelt behind the chief patriarch.

"It's troublesome!"

Xia Ye has a headache.

"Agu?"

Song Guo slowed down when he was eating barbecue, pay attention to the expression of the big brother, as soon as he gives himself a hint, he will immediately find an excuse to help him out.

Savage girl doesn't understand anything. Seeing so many dragonmen kneel down to the chief, she feels that Xia Ye is very powerful, but Xia Frog already frowned.

The dragon people were not talking, nor did they get up, they fell to their knees, even the children were no exception.

Although Xia Ye is not very old, he is no longer a passionate young man who would go through fire and water if he is impassioned and incited a few words. He is now the chief of a tribe. No matter what he does, he must put his own interests first.

What the dragon patriarch said may be true, but so what?Let's not talk about how much benefit I can get by doing this, just think about it briefly, the dragon man has spent 500 years without sealing the Devouring King, and he stood up stupidly, even if he didn't die, it would be easy to take off a few layers of skin.

"I will swear in the name of my ancestors to protect the life of the great chief. In the end, no matter whether it succeeds or not, Chaoge will gain the friendship of our dragon people."

The patriarch is sincere.

"Is your friendship valuable?"

Xia Frog snorted: "Xia Ye is also a great chief of a tribe of ten thousand people. He has three thousand armors under his command. He met the heir of the Mohist family and His Royal Highness, the most beloved princess of King Zhao. You let him have a bright future and don't want to help you. Seal the devouring king?"

As soon as Frog Girl said this, the faces of the dragon people couldn't hold back. Some people wanted to scold, but they were stopped by the chief patriarch.

"I was abrupt."

The patriarch apologized.

"well said!"

Xia Ye glanced at Xia Frog, and secretly praised him. He and Frog Girl have also been together for a while, and he knows that her IQ and EQ are not bad.

Of course, the patriarch retreated, but Xia Ye couldn't pretend that nothing happened, or he might be tied up and sink into the lake before dinner was finished.

"No, I also want to do my best to help your tribe, but my tribe is waiting to be rebuilt. Once I die here, those people will also be displaced."

Xia Ye sighed, there is no need to say anything later, as long as a politician with normal IQ will take over.

"Little Slicker!"

The patriarch muttered that he was looking for benefits, so he quickly responded: "Our tribe has no money, but we do have some reserves of food and vitality stones."

"Hey, the patriarch's words hurt feelings, am I such a person who cares about money?"

Xia Ye pretended to be angry.

"You don't have eyes for money, you think it's too little!"

The patriarch slandered in his heart, then forced out a smile, and offered a new price in a blunt manner: "The despicable tribe really has nothing valuable, even the steam civilization of the ancestors has been lost, leaving only a little steam Technology, if the great chief doesn't dislike it, I can give it to you with both hands!"

"The patriarch!"

"Father!"

"Think twice!"

After hearing the price offered by the great patriarch, the dragon people who were originally indifferent immediately became anxious, and tried to persuade them one after another.

Wei Ziluo and Cao Daoyun were also surprised.

"Steam technology? With all due respect, your tribe..."

Xia Wa glanced around, the meaning is self-evident, even your tribe built of stones and thatch also has steam technology?

For these four characters, Xia Wa still knew from the bamboo slips that Xia Ye had found before.

"The cornerstone of steam civilization is boiler burning. To be honest, the vitality stones on this small island are too scarce, and they are not enough to support some steam technology."

The patriarch smiled wryly, but he still had nothing to say.

As the devouring king's strength continued to increase, it also began to create some monster offspring, and those monsters had been hunting and killing the dragonmen.

In order not to be discovered, the dragon people have to keep moving, so it is naturally impossible to develop steam technology wholeheartedly.

Xia Ye was silent. As a college student before the cataclysm, no one understood the advantages of an epoch-making technology better than him.

My own tribe is entering the Iron Age, but it is not crushing against the Bronze Age, and who knows if those tribes have trump cards?If steam technology is developed, the gap of more than ten years can be shortened at least.

"Ana, take the chief to the library!"

The patriarch gave timely instructions.

"Thank you!"

Xia Ye sighed, the chief patriarch is so understanding, he clearly asked him to inspect the goods first.

"I am coming too!"

Song Guo got up, bouncing to Xia Ye's side.

Xia Wa looked at Xia Ye worriedly. The wizard's memory is very powerful. The dragon man asked him to read it first. Don't you worry that he will regret it after remembering it?
Taking a step back, if those steam technologies are of great value, but the other party is willing to let Xia Ye have a sneak peek, that also means that the task of sealing the devouring king is extremely dangerous.

In this world, there will be no generosity without reason.

Wei Ziluo and Cao Daoyun also wanted to see it, but they were ignored.

The reception banquet was over, and the room of the great patriarch was full of high-ranking officials of the tribe.

"Is it necessary to pay for those steam technologies? That is the most precious wealth of our dragon people."

"Otherwise, what should we do? If the King of Devourer is allowed to survive, sooner or later his offspring will multiply everywhere and occupy this island."

"What are you afraid of? Those technologies are so obscure and difficult to understand. Even if I gave it to that young man, I don't believe he can understand it."

The dragon people talked in a hurry.

"Okay, stop arguing. The most important question is, can that human really activate the altar and seal the Devouring King?"

After an adult dragonman finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Ana.

"The stone of divine will is in his hands, which is the best proof."

Ana recounted everything she had experienced since meeting Xia Ye.

The image of a calm, wise, courageous and decisive man immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"I don't know what his nature is, but I see that he can take the initiative to leave a heir for his companions. Even if he is a wildling slave, he has never given up."

Ana admired Xia Ye very much.

The dragon people didn't sleep all night, and the next morning, they walked out of the room with their bloodshot eyes open. They hadn't had a good night's sleep for more than half a month.

The patriarch's name is Abu, and after breakfast, he planned to have an open and honest talk with Xia Ye, but he didn't see Xia Ye until the sun was high.

"Sleep late?"

Abu didn't think that Xia Ye would be such a lazy person, so he sent someone to inquire, but he was rewarded that he was still in the library.

"Isn't it?"

Ana was surprised. Seeing her father going out, she followed immediately.

In the library, Xia Ye is holding a bronze engraving plate, looking at it very interestingly, it feels as if he has returned to the days when he was in the library.

It's a pity that there are no beautiful intellectual school girls or school girls who are eye-catching.

"This technology is very advanced, is it a combination of vitality and steam civilization?"

Xia Ye was speechless.

Before the cataclysm, after the first industrial revolution, the electrical age entered the age of electricity, so steam technology stopped abruptly, and the most common ones were trains, looms, ships, etc. driven by boilers.

The steam technology recorded on these bronze engravings is too advanced, not to mention the production lathes, looms, and several steam rifles, which make people drool.

This is a weapon that can improve the fighting power of the entire tribe in a short period of time. If everyone has one, Xia Ye can beat the entire Xia family to their knees and call daddy in the first half of the year!
Of course, this weapon also has a disadvantage, that is, it is extremely expensive and has huge requirements for a tribe's industrial accumulation.

Relying on a journeyman to drill the barrel?Don't ever think about stepping into the age of steam in this life.

When Abu and his daughter walked in, they saw Xia Ye resting his chin, staring intently at the bronze engraving.

"Shh!"

Song Guo, who was always by his side, put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.

Ana curled her lips, looking into little Lolita's eyes, she knew she hadn't slept all night, he was like a loyal dog, and would always guard Xia Ye.

Abu didn't want to disturb Xia Ye either, he just wanted to observe, but the wait lasted for more than two hours.

"Excellent, replacing the coal with vitality, the work efficiency is even greater, and the energy loss can be reduced to [-]%?"

Xia Ye clicked his tongue. Even if he was not an engineering student, he knew that a lot of the kinetic energy of the steam engine was consumed in the transmission structure.

Abu and Ana looked at each other, their eyes full of shock, this young man is not pretending to be Niu Boyi, he really understands it.

Suddenly, Abu regretted it a little.

He asked Xia Ye to come to the library to calm him down and seduce him with those obscure knowledge, but now he is afraid, what if he is memorized by others?
Run over and grab the bronze engraving?Abu thought about it, but at least he was the chief of the tribe, so he couldn't do such a shameless thing.

Ana no longer had such worries, she rushed over with a few strides, grabbed the bronze engraving in Xia Ye's hand, hesitated for a moment, and put away those on the wooden table.

"Ok?"

Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed: "I'm sorry, I took the liberty."

"mean!"

Song Guo pouted.

"I wonder if the chief is satisfied with this 'gift'?"

Abu returned to his calm and breezy posture.

"satisfy."

Xia Ye nodded: "However, I still have a merciless request."

"please say."

Abu suppressed his excitement.

"Presumably your tribe also has technicians who understand steam technology? I need ten."

Seeing that Ana was about to speak, Xia Ye interrupted: "Listen to me, I don't want them to be coolies, but to let them go to my tribe to be teachers, or arrange people to come to the island to study."

"Come to study?"

Abu was stunned.

"King Zhao can send people to the island every few years. I think you guys should have figured out how to send people back in the past few hundred years, right?"

Xia Ye kept staring at Abu's face, hoping to see some clues.

"of course!"

Abu nodded proudly, then frowned again: "I'll give you a technician, no, but I can help you teach some apprentices!"

"Then five are fine."

Xia Ye adjusted the price and bargained, and finally agreed that two technicians from the Longren Tribe would help Xia Ye build Chaoge.

"Okay, it's a deal, you guys go get ready, I'm ready to go anytime."

For the future of the tribe, Xia Ye fought hard.

Abu said his farewell tactfully, and did not urge Xia Ye to leave.

After the two left for a long distance, Ana finally couldn't help it: "Father..."

"Shut up, I am also for the Horde."

Abu looked at Ana tenderly, and stroked his daughter's long hair: "I know that the homeland is hard to leave, but we can give him two dying clansmen!"

Ana was very smart, and noticed her father's abnormality, but she didn't ask, but listened obediently until she returned to the room.

"Be careful when talking outside in the future. After all, we don't know if they have the means to monitor."

Abu taught.

"But don't we know how to teleport back to their tribe? If it's time for Xia Ye to pursue it..."

Ana is worried.

"Pursuant? Even if the Devouring King is successfully sealed, how much combat power do you think he still has left?"

Abu snorted, here, there is a magic circle, so he doesn't have to worry about being overheard by outsiders.

"But reputation..."

Ana is confused.

"Reputation? If outsiders know and want to continue to cooperate with outsiders, people will worry about reputation damage. If it's a one-off sale, who cares?"

For the mission and future of the tribe, Abu doesn't mind being a villain.

Ana's world view was impacted for the first time.

After Abu entered the room, Sweet Potato Girl came out of the woods and ran to the library quickly.

"The Great Chief."

Sweet Potato immediately told Xia Ye about the overheard conversation.

Savage Girl has a magical ability, that is, she can directly hear the sound several miles away through the ears of birds and beasts.

"It seems that they really want to cooperate, but for two old dragon people, this is too bad, isn't it?"

Xia Frog was depressed.

"Hehe, for things like teaching, the older the better, as long as you are a technician."

Xia Ye looked aggressively: "When the time comes, you take the bronze engraving I selected and hide and wait."

Xia Ye is not stupid, he is going to ask the dragon man to pay a part of the 'deposit' first.

"No, I want to go to the temple with you!"

Xia Wa refused, very decisively.

In the evening, all the dragons who went out came back, as well as Jia Duo and his party.

"Great Chief!"

Seeing Xia Ye, the long-legged girl rushed over excitedly, but stopped just before detonating Xia Ye.

Xia Ye didn't pay much attention, and hugged Jia Duo: "You are all fine, that's great!"

Nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, but it's a pity that the chest is too small to feel any tactile sensation.

"Great Chief!"

Yi Liwei greeted her.

"Ok!"

Xia Ye looked at Xia Shilian, even though they were all her own, she did not take off her mask.

"Master, I miss you to death!"

Waiting for Xia Ye to let go of Jia Duo, the witty Friday yelled, one slipped and knelt, and was about to hug Xia Ye's thigh, but the ground was uneven, one didn't slide well, and his head hit the ground directly.

Time was running out, so after dinner that day, Abu called Xia Ye and his party, as well as the commanders of the Dragonmen side for this operation, to draw up tactics.

Jia Duo unconditionally implemented Xia Ye's decision, but Xia Shilian raised objections, but after learning that the reward was steam technology and dragonman technicians, he fell silent.

"Count me in!"

Wei Ziluo also followed: "I don't ask to share the blueprints, I just hope that after you manufacture those weapons, you can sell them to us at a slightly lower price."

It has to be said that Wei Ziluo is more decisive than Zhou Kang who is silent and pretends to be dead.
