When the two groups were brought in front of Yan Mo and the others, they were ashamed and annoyed.
What's embarrassing is that so many of their adult fighters have no power to resist in front of a few children. Even Rong Kang, who has a witch weapon, was suddenly hit on the head from behind when he realized something was wrong and wanted to turn around to rescue his clansmen. The witch weapon passed out before it could play any role.
"Are you... people from Jiuyuan?" The curses that several soldiers were about to utter suddenly turned around, and their voices became weird because of this.
Rong never went to Wucheng, nor did he meet Jiuyuan people, but the fighters who were identified as Po Jiuyuan people were all people who followed Rong Kang to Wucheng.
Yan Mo's eyes fell on these dozens of people, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, hey, he saw an acquaintance.
"Xiao Le." Yan Mo raised his chin to the unconscious Rong Kang.
Yuan Zhan also recognized Rong Kang. He remembered the man who "bought" his priest's first witch weapon, and he wanted to get it back all the time.
Yan Xiaole walked over to Rong Kang's side, stretched out his clad bony hand, and gently pinched the back of his neck.
I don't know where he was stimulated. Rong Kang, who was in a coma, woke up with a jolt.
But the poor guy hugged the back of his head and moaned as soon as he woke up. He felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and he couldn't even stand up. After a while, the pain in the back of his head and the overall dizziness felt better.
And when he saw a group of people sitting on the bedding not far away, a short gasp immediately came out of his throat.
"Master Mo Momowu! Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan Zhan leader!" Rong Kang clutched the back of his head, pointed in front of his fingers, and stuttered instantly.
"Long time no see." Yan Mo smiled and raised his arm to Rong Kang.
With Rong Kang's confirmation, no one else has any doubts, even the hyena people.
The hyena tribe didn't send anyone to Wucheng at the beginning, but Jiuyuan's name is familiar to all the big tribes living in this land. According to the division of Wucheng Gathering, the land where they lived in the past dynasties actually belongs to Jiuyuan, and they are also members of Jiuyuan in name.
However, none of the Hyena people took this kind of territory division into consideration. The Black Swamp Wasteland is a famous place of death. It is not that there were no powerful forces trying to get their hands on this map before, but these people don't know where they are now.
The Hyena, Rong and other four tribes have lived on this land for an unknown number of years. Now, except for traveling merchants and envoys from certain forces who pass by them at certain times, almost no one sets foot here.
Before coming to this land, traveling merchants and those envoys also need to stop at the border, and the patrolling clansmen will take them into the wasteland. The land will change by itself. Even the four tribes who live here all the year round dare not say that they have fully recorded the changes in the swamp wasteland. If the god of the swamp did not take pity on them and gave them the ability to live freely in the swamp, they would not dare to live in the swamp. thrive in this varied land.
"Jiuyuan people, hum! I just said they are not good people!" The leader of the hyena team spit out a mouthful of phlegm.
The other hyena people around him didn't speak, but they could see from their expressions that they were very annoyed and hated the Jiuyuan people.
The expressions of the Rong people were not very good, especially the soldiers who had a good impression of Yan Mo who had been to Wucheng. At this time, they all thought that the Jiuyuan people were going to attack them, the natives who occupied their land. It is also the thing that the four clans are most worried about recently.
This is not the first time Yan Mo has come across this kind of situation. Among the large and small tribes that he has come into contact with before, some are particularly eager to merge into Jiuyuan, and some are extremely hostile to Jiuyuan, and those who hate Jiuyuan are all thinking that Jiuyuan wants to invade them, exploit them, and let them become Jiuyuan's slave tribe from now on.
"These are all my disciples. This is Xiao Le, the demigod bone soldier."
The people of the two tribes gasped, and Rong Kang didn't think it was shameful that he was knocked unconscious, he was a demigod!
Seeing the expressions of the two races getting better, Yan Mo wanted to laugh. People, it's so strange, especially these warriors who are responsible for the safety of the tribe, a group of children defeated them, they feel ashamed, and even hate Jiuyuan, but once they know that the one who defeated them is stronger than them, I don't know how much After being doubled as a demigod, not only did their sense of shame disappear immediately, most of it was also removed, and some even gave out a wonderful expression of "ah, I was beaten by a demigod".
"Don't worry, we don't have any malice towards you, but when we passed by, we found you guys fighting in groups, and you happened to be on the way we must pass, so we had to stop one or two, and I wanted to ask something by the way." Yan Mo said kindly Said softly, and at the same time signaled Xiao Hei to let them go.
Xiao Hei led a group of children laughing and untiing the hemp ropes around these people, and ran aside to study those Dread Ducks.
"Lord Mo Wu, are the envoys sent by Jiuyuan this time just you and the leader of the war?" Rong Kang's speech returned to normal, with surprise, joy, and worry in his eyes.
"Yes. In addition, we have also brought a road construction team to help all the tribes on the land of Jiuyuan build roads and bridges, so that everyone can live a better life as soon as possible."
"Cut! How can we live a good life by building roads and bridges? If you are really kind, just bring us food, bone tools and exercises!" The eldest son of the leader of the hyena tribe, Jiamao, sneered.
"Food, bone utensils, exercises, and other good things, we all have them in Jiuyuan, but why do we provide them to you?" Yan Mo didn't explain the importance of paving roads and building bridges. Well everyone knows how good they are.
"We are not..." the eldest son of the leader of the hyena tribe said four words, choked behind, and let him admit that they belonged to Jiuyuan, that is impossible!
Yan Mo ignored the hyena tribe, but invited Rong Kang and others to have lunch together.
The Rong people do not have the habit of eating lunch yet, no, it should be said that the vast majority of humans in the Eastern Continent do not have this extravagant habit.
Rong Kang and the others were embarrassed to take advantage of it, and wanted to have a better relationship with the Jiuyuan people, so they rushed to carry the Dread Duck they had hunted, and wanted to share the food with the Jiuyuan people.
It was also the first time for Yan Mo to see Dread Duck, and he was as curious as the children. After learning about this creature through the guide, the word "cultivable" suddenly appeared in his mind.
Although these half-bird, half-beast creatures are strong in body and powerful in force, they are not irritable and irritable, and they are very easy to feed, eating almost anything, and they lay eggs like birds, but there are not many fertilized eggs, and Wherever they like to go, they will step on a few if they are not careful, and they will be stolen. In addition, they are creatures that don't like nests, and there are not many adult birds that can hatch, but this is not the case. It is said that they do not like to lay eggs. On the contrary, they like to lay eggs more than chickens. As long as the food is sufficient and nutritious, they will lay eggs every two or three days, and the eggs are only very large.
It can lay eggs, its feathers are rich and warm, it is naturally waterproof and oil-proof, its subcutaneous fat is rich, it can grow up quickly and gain weight, and it will not get angry casually as long as you don't tease it. These advantages are simply the best characteristics of poultry farming.
In Yan Mo's heart, the Dread Duck is one of the local specialties. He also revealed the value of the Dread Duck very straightforwardly in his words, and encouraged the Rong people to try to tame and raise the Dread Duck.
The Rong people have almost never had the concept of "breeding" in their minds since their ancestors migrated to the black swamp wasteland.
Rong Jue even asked directly: "Fear ducks are everywhere here. As long as you are not afraid of death, you can get them. Why do you need to raise them? They eat a lot."
Rong absolutely didn't have the nerve to say that they couldn't get enough to eat themselves, so how could they still support the flock of fearful ducks.
Yuan Zhan said on behalf of Yan Mojie: "You also said that you can only get it if you are not afraid of death. If you raise a flock of fear ducks, there are three advantages. First, reserve. Eat when you want. Second, expand Food. You can get abundant Duck eggs. Third, trade. The eggs, meat, feathers, oil, etc. of Ducks can be traded.”
With Mo, the partner and priest, Yuan Zhan, the leader, is not only proficient in breeding, but also much better than most laymen.
"But how do we breed such vicious Dread Ducks? Even if we catch them alive, we can't keep them alive for a few days. They can fly, and they will run away if they are not careful. If they are locked up, they will die by themselves in a short time. "Little Boy Duckling is young but very sharp.
"It's very simple, you can cut off the tips of their wings so they can't fly, and then build them a comfortable nest. After they can't fly, you don't have to keep them in a small dark closed place, you can release them in the wild Breeding, as long as someone watches them, drive them back to the nest at night. The specific method... I will send someone who is good at breeding to guide you. This kind of thing is complicated to say, but as long as you get used to it, you will find it Very simple."
The dead Dread Duck was plucked, its internal organs were taken out, and roasted on the fire. Yan Mo provided some condiments for the Rong warriors who were good at barbecue to try to rub them on. Soon, the strange fragrance spread. Everyone's nostrils.
Both the Rong people and the Hyena people were drooling, the battle exhausted their energy, and the little food they ate in the morning had already been consumed, and many people's stomachs growled when they were hooked by this scent.
"It's strange, the smell of Duck Duck has faded a lot? It's almost unbearable. It smells so good!" A Hyena tribe sniffed his nose, salivating.
Jianuma slapped him, "What's the name! Those Jiuyuan people are deliberately tempting us! Don't be fooled by them."
Hearing this, the hyena warriors had to endure the smell and the hunger of scratching their intestines, and continued to glare at the Jiuyuan people and the Rong people.
But these hyena people are also fun, they have been let go, but they just don't leave! Jiazhao euphemistically said: He wants to see what conspiracy the Rong people and the Jiuyuan people have.
On the other hand, the Jiuyuan people and the Rong people quickly became acquainted with each other under the influence of food and drink, and they were able to joke with each other.
Although their accents are different, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the ancient three cities and even the later Nine Cities to popularize the common language, as long as it is a relatively large tribe, almost all can speak the common language, and some tribes do not have their own language at all—they are creating Before developing their own language system, they have been brainwashed by the lingua franca.
The brothers Rong Kang and Rong Jue chatted with each other while eating the different and more delicious barbecue.
In the end, Rong Kang, who had been in contact with the two great figures, spoke on behalf of the Rong people, "That...cough, leader Zhan, Master Mo Wu, what is the purpose of your coming this time? What arrangements does Jiuyuan have for our tribes?"
All the Rong people have their ears pricked up, which is a major event related to whether the Rong people will still exist in the future.
Yan Mo was not surprised that Rong Kang would ask him this question, he was even waiting for Rong Kang to ask him.
"This land already belongs to Jiuyuan." The first sentence poured a lot of cold water on all the Rong people, including the Hye people who were eavesdropping.
Rong Kang did not veto this sentence, but a struggling look appeared on his face, "Then..."
Yan Mo raised his hand, "You can live as before."
The second sentence warmed everyone's heart.
But Rong Kang grasped the key point, "What about slaves? Will Jiuyuan allow us to continue to own slaves?"
"According to the Jiuyuan Law, we do not allow any force or individual to own slaves, nor to engage in any slave trade. But we also know that it is difficult for you to give up slaves immediately, so we will give you two conditions for you to choose." Yan Mo said.
"What conditions?" Rong Kang and Rong Jue asked in unison.
Yan Mo, "First, we exchange all the slaves with you with materials unique to Jiuyuan. Second, you release all the slaves voluntarily. Our Zhanmo Academy and army in Jiuyuan will be open to you. enjoy the same benefits, rights and obligations as the original people."
The Rong people were silent.
Rong Kang and Rong Jue looked at each other, Rong Jue took over the burden, and said with a wry smile: "So if we don't agree to voluntarily release all the slaves, then Jiuyuan won't treat us as Jiuyuan citizens, is that what you mean?"
Yan Mo said frankly, "Yes. If you can't accept Jiuyuan's rules, you can't be regarded as Jiuyuan people. If you don't want to admit that you are Jiuyuan people, then why should you enjoy the benefits of Jiuyuan like other Jiuyuan people? Don't talk about Jiuyuan, it's your Rong people, are you willing?"
Of course they don't want to, even their own family members can't get enough to eat, so why should they distribute the benefits to outsiders? But the truth is that when the same thing happens to me, the feeling is different.
The Rong people began to struggle. Who doesn't have a few slaves among the soldiers present? Do you want to give up
Rong Kang suddenly found a crucial question, "If he is not a recognized Jiuyuan native, what if he still wants to go to Zhanmo Academy or join the Jiuyuan army?"
Yuan Zhan pressed Yan Mo, and said coldly: "If you are not a citizen of Jiuyuan, it is completely impossible to join the Jiuyuan army. Of course, it is impossible to get in touch with the advanced skills and many other generous rewards that can only be obtained by the army. Zhan Mo Academy can accept outsiders , but the conditions are relatively harsh. First, you must pay enough tuition fees, second, you must be good enough, and third, you must accept a period of character inspection. The key point is the third point. If the character inspection fails, the student may at any time Expelled from the academy."
When Rong Kang heard this, great disappointment flashed in his eyes.
And several other fighters who wanted to go to Jiuyuan to learn more advanced exercises and try their luck were also sad.
At this moment, the young duckling suddenly jumped off his elder brother, went to Yan Mo and squatted down, and asked Yan Mo naively and seriously: "Master Mo Wu, why does Jiuyuan insist that everyone should not have slaves?"
Yan Mo smiled, stretched out his hand to touch the little boy's little braid on the top of his head, and asked an unexpected question: "Do you think Jiuyuan is strong?"
The little boy didn't know why, but he nodded anyway.
"Would it be difficult for Jiuyuan to defeat your Rong people?"
The young boy turned to look at his two elder brothers: Is it difficult
The two elder brothers smiled wryly, Jiuyuan wanted to fight the Rong people, he simply crushed them, okay
At this time, Yan Mo asked the third question: "Then if our Jiuyuan defeats your Rong people, all your Rong people will become our slaves. Are you willing to be a slave?"
The young boy knew the answer this time. He thought about the life of the slaves in the tribe, and shook his head without hesitation, "I don't want to."
"Then do you now understand why Jiuyuan wants everyone not to have slaves?" Yan Mo's fourth question made the young boy and the Rong people all quiet.
