Chapter 146 Wasteland Mining Group
Chapter 146 Wasteland Mining Group
When Chief Tagon recovered a little, everyone decided to leave this place as soon as possible.
Although all the enemies have been eliminated, they need a safer environment to have a good night's rest.
The distance from the Falling Star Fortress to the Wasteland Tribe was not far. Everyone jogged along the way. Broken Tooth supported Tagon, Lian dragged Frey, and Soi carried Xigang and the still sleeping Ivan...
Finally, we arrived back to the tribe by Mirror Lake at dusk.
After arranging a warm bonfire and tents for the guests, the old shaman returned to his tribe's main tent, followed by Broken Tooth, who was also in a bad condition.
"Ms. Morgan has regained consciousness. This time, Ivan has saved both of our lives."
As soon as he sat down, he started talking to Broken Tooth.
"Great Patriarch, the turmoil caused by the death of Gruumsh may have come to an end, but our losses have also been very heavy..."
"How many warriors are left in the tribe?"
Duan Ya lowered his head slightly, looking a little haggard.
"Including the initial attack that caught us off guard, we lost a total of more than 600 soldiers, and another 200 laborers died at the hands of the Fallen who broke through the defense line."
"Well...close to half of the adult population of the Wasteland Tribe..."
"Any new instructions from Ms. Morgan?"
"Not yet, but I think that if the Wasteland Tribe wants to survive for a long time, it has to become a Wasteland City..."
"Are you planning to... build a city?"
"Well, this will be the first city of the orc civilization."
After a good sleep, Alvin walked out of the tent feeling refreshed.
Tietou, with a smile on his face, was chatting with Kong'er, who was taciturn.
Seeing Alvin coming out, Tietou took out some chewy potatoes and threw them to him familiarly.
"Try it now, this is the cooking skill contributed by little Lian!"
Although Alvin could roughly guess what it would taste like, he still took a bite out of courtesy.
Uh... Teething stick enhanced version...
When he looked up and saw Tietou's malicious smile, Alvin knew he had been fooled.
"By the way, where's Tagon?"
"The chieftain is in the tent..."
Tietou nodded towards the chieftain's tent by the lake.
Throwing the bitten piece of chewy potato back to Tietou, Alvin hurriedly ran into the chief's tent, opened the door curtain, and saw the old shaman sitting cross-legged and lighting incense inside.
"Ivan boy? So early?
I thought you would sleep until noon!"
Now that Ms. Morgan was fine, the old shaman was extremely happy.
"Chief Tagon, let's talk business!"
"Oh?"
"Let's not beat around the bush. The ore in that ruin..."
“How much do you want?
According to the rules of adventurers, those should have been your spoils of war."
“That’s not necessary, a druid doesn’t need that much magic metal.
There are so many ores in the ruins that even if we arm all the orcs and druids with magic metals, we won't need much...
I mean, are you interested in a different way of conducting orc diplomacy?"
The old shaman laughed, his face full of wrinkles.
"You want the orcs to trade with you?
These magic metals are now strategic materials..."
“Yeah, that’s pretty much what I understood.
But I think it wouldn't hurt for orcs and druids to have a few more deeply bound allies."
Tagon looked at the human boy in front of him. Through his soul, he knew that this human had no ambition to dominate the plane.
But I have no idea what this kid is trying to do.
"Tell me about your plan. Morgan has previously told me that your opinion will be the main consideration when necessary."
"Huh?! Is that gossip goddess so kind?"
"Ahem, Ivan, I am the priest of Ms. Morgan. If you insult the goddess in person again..."
"Ha...ha...my mouth is slipping...
I mean, orcs can form a mining group with druids, with orcs responsible for the collection and transportation of magic metals, and druids for purification and commercialization...
After that, well, after that is another matter.”
Tagon narrowed his eyes, he felt that this "other thing" would not be a trivial matter.
But for the orcs in the wasteland, it would not be a bad thing to follow a human who has extremely powerful soul power and can absorb divine thoughts.
"There is no problem with the wasteland orcs, but in exchange, I need you to do me a favor..."
Ivan's ears twitched unconsciously. This old fox... really has a lot of tricks in his mind.
"Tell me, what can I help you with?"
"Help the Wasteland Clan design an orc city."
……
In the western part of the Haze Forest, Xiling led the team towards the base.
"Sister! Sister!
Is it really okay for us to leave my brother-in-law alone in the wilderness?"
"Lee! An!"
The sound coming from under the hood made Lian shudder and hide behind the team.
Miss Undead Frey hurried over and supported her little sister who was about to fall.
"Lian, Mr. Ivan is so powerful, and Mr. Kong Er is with us, nothing will happen!"
"Frei, I'm not worried about my sister...that pervert, I'm worried about Tietou and the others..."
"..."
It didn't take long for the team to return to the druid station.
Recently, Senna has been helping the Frost Giants to cultivate ecological fields. The fields in the base itself have been handed over to several regional leaders to manage, allowing them to accumulate some promotion experience with the newcomers.
Xiling took off her equipment and saw Bol yawning in the Oak Hall.
"Master, Ivan plans to..."
Before Xiling started her report, she was interrupted by Boll.
"Don't worry about what that kid is going to do for now. Xiling, there's a letter from your mother."
After saying that, he took out an envelope with a wax seal from his bosom and handed it to Xiling.
Xiling couldn't wait to open the wax seal and read it carefully. A few drops of crystal clear liquid dripped onto the beautiful handwriting.
"Did the lord say anything?"
Boll put on a serious attitude and asked Xiling.
"Mother said that she knew about the recent turmoil... and would come to the Gray Haze Forest when spring comes..."
"I see... I hope she won't be disappointed then...
Oh, by the way, what did you say Alvin was going to do? "
