People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

Only in this way can the tribe truly develop.

So when she became an elder and successfully assigned great power.

She began her own reform of the Tanit tribe.

"It is best for the children of the tribe to receive a good education." Babel dropped the list that Rhodes gave her, crossed her hands, stared at Rhodes and said, "These children alone are not enough."

"I saw today that there are still many children in the tribe who have not been sent over."

Rhodes replied nonchalantly: "There should be some qualified and potential children among these children."

But Babel's answer was ruthless: "You are born a waste and you are not qualified for education."

"In addition to them, there are others."

Rhodes pointed in one direction: "I also saw a lot of healthy children over there."

There were indeed many children who had not been sent to that location, scattered about no less than a hundred people.

According to Nasida's observation.

These children are not the sick or disabled in the lower-class areas. They all have very strong bodies and have extraordinary abilities at a young age.

It's just that Babel didn't seem to have any intention of sending these children over, and she didn't even mean to express it.

These words also made Babel, who already had a stern face, frown even deeper.

She realized which child Rhode was talking about.

then.

Just listen to her calmly say: "Those children are Marcela's falcons. They only need to fight and do not need to learn any knowledge."

Falcon.

This is not a term unique to the Tanit tribe.

In many desert tribes, it is a habit to adopt or rob young children and train them into falcons loyal to the elders, specifically to perform some dirty and shameful tasks for the tribe.

And Babel.

Before she became an elder, she was a falcon of the Tanit tribe.

Rhodes looked a little anxious and said bluntly: "Didn't the contract we signed require me to teach all the children in the tribe? Are you, Elder Babel, planning to use these children as pawns to break the contract?"

"Mr. Rhodes is overthinking."

"Those useless tribes should be grateful to the mistress for being kind enough to support them. It doesn't matter whether they receive an education or not."

"As for Marcela's falcon."

"If you want them to learn, then you can try to find him."

There is a big flaw hidden in Babel's answer.

She only said that the children in the lower class areas did not deserve an education, but she skipped the matter of the falcon.

This is no longer a metaphor.

It was completely clear that he would default on the debt. If Rhodes wanted the contract to be completed smoothly, he would go to Marcela himself to talk about letting Falcon go to class.

This Marcela in Babel's mouth.

He is one of the nine elders of the Tanit tribe and a hunter instructor in the tribe.

But what he teaches is not a hunter in the literal sense, but a falcon in Babel's mouth.

With a large number of powerful falcons in his hands, Marcela can be said to be the most powerful person in the Tanit tribe. At least for now, the strong Babel is facing him. There is no advantage at all.

'Are you using me as a pawn to test Marcela? '

Rhodes looked calm on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.

Babel did not explain Marcela's situation to herself, but simply encouraged herself to find Marcela in a disguised form of coercion.

It is clear.

This is because Rhodes' performance on the first day did not satisfy her.

Compare Babel's performance yesterday.

Yesterday, when she met Rhodes for the first time, she slapped those men who made rude remarks, but today she easily let go of the two robbers who tried to kill Rhodes.

This already explains the problem.

Dili Yesi drove away most of the children in the first class.

All these things made Rhodes' importance in Babel's heart drop again and again.

Go down again.

She probably won't even bother to pretend to be a libertarian and abide by the contract.

"She wants to use you to test and see if she can take advantage of your time to teach the Falcon and seize the command of the Falcon from Marcela."

At this time, the results of Nasida's mind reading also came out.

It's similar to Rhodes' guess.

'It seems it's time to give her the shock of getting a perfect score in the Sheng Lun Sect's assessment. '

After laughing secretly in his heart, Rhodes did not refuse to go to Marcela to talk about sending Falcon to study, and nodded in agreement.

at the same time.

He made another request.

"Oh? Mr. Rhodes thinks there is not enough food and water?"

Babel smiled: "In our tribe, most people's daily rations are just this. I prepared food and water for you according to the tribe's standards. I guess Mr. Rhodes, you are living too much in the rainforest area." Well, you can’t ‘enjoy’ the living standards of us desert people.”

Such an irrefutable reason made Rhodes look a little disappointed. After hesitating for a long time, he said awkwardly: "Elder Babel, you should remember that I am a scholar of the Sheng Ling Yuan School. Bar."

"Dilly Yexi is a traveler."

Babel glanced at Rhodes coldly and corrected a mistake in his words: "Not a real scholar yet."

"Uh"

"I was abrupt."

The irony of these words was a bit heavy. Fortunately, Rhodes had been prepared for it. He bit his lip and said reluctantly: "The project I came to the desert to conduct this time is to study the benefits of abundance." In order to reduce the cost of using Fengwohui, my tutor is very optimistic about this topic and said that if I succeed, I will definitely be able to successfully pass the examination and become an official Tuoshaduo."

"What did you say?"

Babel didn't care about the other words, but the phrase "a substitute for abundant blessings" made her moved.

Said before.

Under the influence of Babel, the Tanit tribe attaches great importance to farming their own land.

However, the land in the desert is too barren, so it is particularly dependent on the benefits of fertility.

Babel is a very visionary person.

She knew that this path of dependence on others would not allow the tribe to go far.

So she has been working hard to develop the fertile benefits that are unique to the Tanit tribe.

But still the same sentence.

After all, Babel is just an elder now. No matter how powerful her authority is and how tough her methods are, she still has the matron of the Tanit tribe above her, as well as other elders who share power with her.

under such circumstances.

No matter how determined she was to reform the tribe, the only thing she could do was to force some underage children who obeyed her to study at Rhodes' place, and she couldn't even control Marcela's Falcon. Not to mention the bountiful benefits of mobilizing rare funds to develop new models.

Looking at Babel whose expression changed drastically.

The corners of Rhodes' mouth curled up slightly without any trace of trace.

Although the current timeline is somewhat different from what Rhodes knew.

However, he could still grasp Babier's thoughts very accurately, and thus made such a condition that she had to pay attention to.

In order to prove that what he said is true.

Rhodes also carefully took out a well-preserved experimental report from his personal clothes, which he specially prepared for Babel.

as predicted.

After reading this experimental report, even though she couldn't understand many of the professional terms above, the sentence behind it that the experiment was feasible made Babel's eyes change instantly.

No matter when and where, whether rainforest people or desert people

Whenever I see that food can be grown in the desert, I will have this expression.

"Mr. Rhodes."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"Come on, sit down."

Babel changed her indifferent attitude and started using honorifics again.

And when she saw that Rhodes didn't sit down as she said, she left her seat directly and enthusiastically pulled Rhodes to sit next to her. Her face no longer had the condescending look before. He said extremely gently: "Apart from the requirements for food and water, Mr. Rhodes, if you have any other requirements, you can tell me, oh, by the way, don't you want Falcon to study with you? No problem, I will Come with you to find Marcela, and I promise to help you talk this matter through."

Promise to go out a lot in one breath.

Only then did Babel reveal her true thoughts: "Mr. Rhodes, I wonder if you would be willing to give us some advice."

talking.

She pointed to Rhodes's experimental report, and the meaning was self-evident.

"OK, all right."

When saying this, Rhodes looked like he was having difficulty making up his mind.

His performance also made Babel very satisfied.

So such a brand new contract was reached in a cheerful atmosphere.

Before leaving.

Babel personally sent Rhodes out of her tent. At the same time, in front of many Tanit guards, she whispered a few words into Rhodes' ears, and then smiled and ordered her men to take Rhodes away.

Such a move.

Naturally, Rhodes, who didn't have much attention at first, instantly became the target of public criticism.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 115 You are the first

"I didn't expect that she would be in such a tight situation."

Recalling what Babel said to him, Rhode curled his lips and shook his head.

'Since you are a scholar of the Biophysics School, can you make poison that will not leave any traces? If so, I will be here waiting for good news for you at this time tomorrow. '

When she said these words, Babel's voice was very charming, and she even gently licked Rhode's ear in front of so many people.

If it weren't for Rhodes's good concentration, it would be a shame to say that.

As for why she suddenly mentioned this.

Let’s start with the current matron of the Tanit tribe.

The old mistress is very old, her authority is no longer as strong as before, and she rarely shows her face anymore.

The mistress is no longer in charge.

The power naturally fell into the hands of the nine elders who were in their prime.

In order to compete for the position of mistress.

Babel and Theia, another female elder, have been fighting openly and secretly.

The Tanit tribe is a matrilineal clan.

Male elders are not eligible to compete for eldership.

But this does not prevent them from competing for the identity of the mistress's husband.

In the Tanit tribe, marriage is also a very important matter. There has been more than one incident in which the husband of the mistress controlled the mistress, turned her into a puppet, and then took sole power.
