The answer is actually very simple. For a cautious person like Downton, the current situation of the Krupp tribe and his living standard can be basically inferred through the daily supplies in Thyssen's backpack.
In short, it is very poor, but there is no shortage of iron tools, because there are as many as six metal accessories on the backpack.
"You seem very nervous?" Downton kept secretly looking at Thiessen from the corner of his eyes. Seeing his change in expression, he couldn't help but raise his head and tease, "Could it be that there is some secret in this backpack?"
"You're the one who's nervous." Thiessen turned his head away, but still looked around subconsciously.
There was no way, it was a large map he stole from his father's room. It marked more than 80% of the areas in the lava secret realm in detail, even those inaccessible volcanic caves. Once Downton got him, it would mean that
Since he knew the secret realm inside and out, it was strange that he wasn't worried.
"Well, look what I touched?" Downton felt a bump, so he pulled out the shower dagger from his military boots and carefully cut open the leather.
"Why are you so suspicious?" Thiessen cursed and hit his head on the ground. He almost regretted it. The patrols also went through his backpack, but found nothing. Who knew that this young man was as cunning as those
Same as Firefox.
"It's not suspicious, it's cautious. And you're so stupid that I already guessed that you hid something in your backpack." Downton smiled and unfolded the map.
This is a map that was tanned from the leather of a large dragon beast and painted with blood. It is very thin, but when fully unfolded, it occupies six square meters of space.
"Nonsense, you are definitely deceived!"
Thiessen shook his head like a rattle, not believing what Downton said.
"Oh, let me tell you the reason. I have been walking underground for the past ten days. I found that the volcanic caves here are as complicated as spider webs. Even if you are indigenous, you cannot completely write them down."
Downton explained: "Then taking a step back, if you are an adult aboriginal, you may still be able to remember, but you are too young. And you are still running around and running away without worrying about getting lost, so I am sure you must have brought some with you nearby.
map."
"No, why can adult natives remember it? Children's memory should be better." Thiessen retorted, "You lied to me!"
"If you admit that you are a fool, I will tell you the answer." Downton teased.
Thyssen was silent.
Downton ignored him, ate dried meat, drank wine, and studied the map carefully. Unfortunately, there was no reference, so he couldn't even find his own location.
"Okay, I'm an idiot, you tell me the answer." The giant with a straightforward personality can't stand difficult questions. If he can't figure it out, he won't even feel comfortable sleeping.
"Haha, it's actually very simple. Judging from the food and leather clothes you brought, your tribe will definitely not cultivate the land. Even if there is, it is only in small amounts. Most of them still rely on hunting for a living." Downton replied casually, "Adult natives go out.
If you travel a lot when hunting, you will inevitably become familiar with the terrain. As for you, you are still underage. For the purpose of protection, even if you hunt, you will probably be in the hunting areas you frequent."
"The giant boy is also a warrior and does not need protection." Thiessen argued.
Downton shrugged his shoulders and was too lazy to argue. Young people are the future of every tribe. How could they be kept away from the tribe for hunting before they have enough experience.
"Well, look at the map, the terrain of the Lava Secret Realm is really bad!" Downton exclaimed as he looked at the large number of dangerous areas marked.
"You devil, monster, you can even infer these things." Seeing Downton becoming more and more familiar with the map, and his finger was about to point to his location, Krupp roared in shock and anger, blaming himself and wanting to die.
Wow, this young man in front of me is really terrifying.
"Haha, let me tell you a lesson. Next time, remember to put a poor map in your backpack. This will serve the purpose of hiding it from others."
Downton no longer asked for information, but chatted about topics, which seemed meaningless, but in fact he was exerting a kind of mental pressure. The more calm and relaxed his attitude was, the more confused Thiessen would be, and he would start thinking wildly.
Once you have a psychological breakdown, it will be easier to negotiate.
"It's useless even if you find my tribe, my uncles will kill you." Thiessen's roar was a sign of his worry.
"I said, I'm not interested in the slave trade, but I value your various minerals." Downton took out a piece of bread, leaned against the wall, and explained while eating, "I am a mayor and a saint.
The knight is also a billionaire and can get a lot of supplies that your tribe does not have. By trading with me, everyone gets what they need. This is a win-win situation."
"Impossible, the intruder is not worth trusting." Thiessen shook his head.
"Haha, you will need allies. Do you know the price of a Krupp Giant in the slave market? At least tens of millions, well, even if the value is halved because there are too many, it will be enough to drive the adventurers crazy.
So you need allies."
Downton kept observing Thiessen, not missing any of his expressions, "Giant blood is very rare, so your group is not large, right?"
Thyssen nodded subconsciously. The giants not only had a low fertility rate, but also had a long reproductive cycle. If the individual strength were not too strong, they would have been eliminated by the harsh and harsh living environment.
"In front of the overwhelming number of adventurers, you are at a disadvantage. I can guarantee that the final result will be that you pay some benefits, form an alliance with some humans, and then use them to fight against humans." Downton sighed, and humans were fighting among themselves.
I am used to it, and it is impossible to integrate it into a whole when it comes to profit distribution alone.
"We are not afraid of death and will fight to the end." Thiessen was very angry at Downton's words. "Anyone who dares to covet our tribe will be attacked head-on."
"It's useless to talk nonsense. The clan leader's priority is always the continuation of the tribe's fire." Downton further puzzled, "If you think about it, when you encounter a crisis of genocide, are you teenagers always the ones who are protected and left?
"
Thiessen was speechless, because what Downton said was true.
Downton stood up and walked to Thiessen. After staring at him for a while, he pulled out his saber and slashed it down quickly.
Thiessen thought that his silence had offended the other party and was about to kill him, but he was not afraid. He opened his eyes wide and stared at Downton closely, but the saber finally scratched his cheek, not even hurting a single hair on his face.
Whoosh!
The rope that tied Thyssen was cut off.
"He is a tough guy." Downton praised him, turned around and left, packing his backpack, "Let's go back and tell your clan leader that adventurers from the Western Continent are here and will conquer the entire secret realm."
The map is very detailed, with more than 20 locations including mineral veins and water sources marked on it, so Downton doesn't have to ask any more questions.
Thiessen jumped up, stared at Downton's back, and then looked at the map in his hand. He clenched his fists and tried to rush out several times, but for some reason, he felt a strong fear in his heart.
The spread made him unable to take a step after all.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it seemed that even the air was getting hotter. Thiessen couldn't stand it anymore and asked.
"You really want to let me go?"
"Nonsense, I am a Templar and I will keep my word." Downton smiled and asked, "Why didn't you kill me just now? Don't you dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that I think you are too dangerous!" Thiessen told the truth. Since the contact, Downton has always been in control of the situation, whether it is his answers or various behaviors, which makes him feel very inferior.
Among the younger generation of the tribe, Thiessen was very powerful, which made him very proud. However, this time, he did not have the confidence to win.
"It's not hopelessly stupid." Downton packed his backpack and turned to Thiessen, "If you had taken action just now, you would have been dead."
"nonsense!"
Thiessen became angry all of a sudden. He clenched his fists tightly and was about to fight. He hated being looked down upon.
"Tsk, tsk!" Downton stretched out his index finger and shook it gently, "Don't be impulsive. If you are in good health, I may not be able to beat you, but look at your current state, seriously injured, dehydrated, and hungry.
, you can’t even stand still, you still want to fight me?”
Thiessen sat slumped on the ground and held his head in his hands. He found that all his actions seemed to be expected by the other party.
"I'm leaving, please be careful!" Downton took out a few pieces of bread and a pot of water and placed them next to Thiessen, then stood up and left: "Other adventurers are not as kind as me."
Listening to the retreating footsteps, Thiessen was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the intruder really let him go. Even if he was stupid, he knew that the information he had could be worth a lot of money.
"You acted like a tough guy just now, so I hope you won't betray the tribe even if you are caught by others, because I hate this kind of people the most." Downton's warning echoed in the cave, "If we meet again by chance, I invite you.
drink wine."
Thiessen stared at the direction Downton left, his eyes flickering.
"Oh, that last sentence is so disgusting, but it seems that this kind of compliment is more useful when dealing with a simple-minded young man, right?"
Downton thought for a while, what he said had a strong purpose. He preferred to induce rather than torture. After all, having one more giant friend would make adventures in the secret realm much more convenient in the future.
This is true for everything. The first person to become a giant's friend will definitely get huge benefits. To this end, Downton used several methods.
Leaving food and water as a show of concern and complimenting Thiessen's courage. Those warnings are also giving him a subconscious idea that there are many adventurers out there, and it is unlikely that you can escape.
"Are you still a Templar? Are you so sinister?" The cheap god's voice sounded in Downton's heart again. As a god, it could see through this kid's methods at a glance.
"Is this called insidious? Compared to Anthony, I am a much better person." Downton put away the map, "As long as he is not stupid, he will come back."
"What if he is really stupid, will you really let him go?" the cheap god asked.
"How is it possible? I will follow him quietly and save him again after he is caught." How could Downton let go of such an important giant. (To be continued...)
