Chapter 41 The current situation of the three tribes
Ryan watched Little Locke and Rock Storm each go back with several large barrels of fruit wine. Then Ryan asked a dozen people from the Cyclops clan to send more than a dozen barrels of fruit wine to Utoman. This fruit wine was the most popular in the wilderness.
Brewed from wild fruits collected by the orc tribe, the cost is only one gold coin.
, this is still a high price given by Ryan. You must know that wild fruits are everywhere in the wilderness in autumn. You can collect the wild fruits directly, then wash them, squeeze them and put them in wooden barrels, but you need to add a kind of juice to the juice.
The brewing plant is used for brewing, and then it is sealed and stored for half a month before the brew is ready.
Then Ryan took out a lot of food, including wheat cakes, dried meat, and fresh fruits. Of course, there is enough fruit wine. These things are not available underground, so dozens of people from the Cyclops family are better than the black dwarves.
The favorability of dozens of people towards their future boss soared sharply, and there were some people from the Lanxi clan on the way to watch the excitement. Ryan also pulled these people to try something new, so the thousands of people in Ryan's space ring
Jin of fruit, originally
It was prepared for Felix and the others, but the dragons don’t like vegetarian food, so Ryan’s fruit stayed in the space ring. Looking at the three tribes, Ryan also discovered a difference. The black dwarves like to eat wheat.
They eat cakes and drink fruit wine, with fruit wine as the main component and wheat cake as the supplement. However, the Cyclops does not eat wheat cakes at all and likes dried meat and fruit wine, with jerky as the main component and fruit wine as the supplement. The Lanxi clan likes fruits and fruit wine, and wheat cakes are also
Eat small amounts, even dried meat.
During the exchange of cups and cups, Ryan also learned about the current living conditions of the three tribes. In fact, the underground world has greatly restricted the development of the three tribes. The main factor is the source of food. In this dark area
The environment on the fourth floor is already very harsh. Most places are either freezing or volcanic.
Only a few places can grow some food, and the Cyclops clan and the black dwarf clan have no ability to grow plants at all. However, the combat effectiveness of the Cyclops clan and the black dwarf clan is very objective, so the Cyclops clan and the black dwarf clan are just like the blue ones.
The Xi clan depends on each other, among which the black dwarf clan respectively occupies
According to the passage from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, it prevents the powerful monsters below the fifth floor from rushing to the fourth floor. It is not for fear of hurting people but for fear of a large number of predatory beasts, which will lead to a food crisis for the three tribes.
The Cyclops clan guards a plane gap, and anything can escape from it. Fortunately, this plane gap
The layer will only appear in a dozen days a year, and the Lanxi clan is responsible for the food of these two clans. The Lanxi clan is very powerful in combat, but the Lanxi clan is a human race after all, and there are also those with poor talents.
, such people still account for the majority, and unlike the cyclops and black dwarves, they are originally fighting races.
But as time goes by, the population gradually increases, and the pressure on food begins to appear. The first ethnic group to adopt late marriage is the Lanxi tribe. People of the Lanxi tribe can usually get married and have children at the age of 50, but now
It was extended to 150 years old, and marriage was even encouraged at 200 years old. A few years later, the cyclops and black dwarves also began to implement this method, so that the population of the two races, which were not very fertile, was always at the same point.
Fluctuations up and down.
With the food crisis, it has affected all aspects of life, among which weapons are one of the most critical things. And in desperation, he opened a trade route with the human merchants on the third level of the Dark Region, but in this short period of time,
In just a few decades, human merchants plundered a large amount of wealth from these three tribes, which later resulted in the three tribes severing contact with the human merchants. As a result, the lives of the three tribes became even more difficult.
So when the Cyclops clan and the black dwarf clan heard that Ryan asked them to work to pay off their debts, these people were happy, because at least their stomachs would be full, and they would no longer have to count on their fingers for two meals a day.
"Alas!" Ryan couldn't believe it when he heard the news. On the mainland, the legend of the black dwarves, also known as the golden dwarves, has been sung by bards from generation to generation, but who knows about the gold in this dark area?
The dwarves actually had nothing to eat and the population had not increased for thousands of years.
The talent of the Cyclops family is even more terrifying. The racial talent of the Cyclops family is to control metals. The higher the elemental affinity of the metal, the more freely the Cyclops family can control it, and the black dwarfs are the best among all dwarf races in forging weapons.
who.
"Why don't you go to the main dwarf cities on the upper floors?" Ryan couldn't help but ask doubtfully when he saw these golden dwarves.
"They are gray dwarves and we are black dwarves. Our ancestors turned against each other during the war between gods and demons. Although they did not become enemies, the relationship was bad. Besides, our black dwarf clan is the royal family of the dwarf clan. In my place, you would be the gray dwarves.
Dwarf, will you tolerate us?" the black dwarf asked with a smile.
"Uh!" Ryan was stunned, because Ryan knew that the golden dwarves were the royal family of the dwarves. Obviously, during the war between gods and demons, there were differences within the dwarves. In this case, the gray dwarves would definitely not find an uncle to support them.
"Drink, drink!" Ryan could only say to the black dwarf with the wine bowl.
But Ryan asked accurately: "Don't you want to go back to the ground?"
"Yes, why don't you want to, but do you know why this place is called the Underdark?" an old black dwarf asked.
"I don't know." Ryan answered honestly.
"Because we are a tribe abandoned by the people on the mainland. The dark elves and gray dwarves are better off, because they retreated to this dark area, and we black dwarves evacuated here early, and the Cyclops
The whole clan has always lived down here, and so has the Lanxi clan." The old man's words were full of helplessness.
"Haha, you can't say that. When you black dwarves came down here, you must have been a small tribe. You must know that the golden dwarves on the mainland have almost disappeared. If it weren't for you, the race would have perished, and you
The golden dwarves are heroes sung on the continent and have not changed for thousands of years." Ryan persuaded. In fact, anyone with any sense knows that the black dwarfs are now just a tribe. Countless years ago, the one who came here must have been a tribe.
Just a very small tribe.
"Really? People on the mainland still remember our golden...golden dwarves?" The old man was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
"Really, the glory of the Golden Dwarf clan will remain on the continent forever. Even children know that the warriors of the Golden Dwarf clan are wearing golden armor, holding golden battle axes, and the golden warriors holding golden staffs.
Dwarf mages are heroes." Ryan was telling the truth. During the war between gods and demons, several races were almost wiped out, and the golden dwarves were one of them.
"Woo, woo, how many years have passed, people still remember the glory of our golden dwarf clan, which our ancestors paid for with their blood and lives! Woo! Woo! Woo..." The old man cried excitedly.
When they got up, the other golden dwarves were also in tears.
"After the things here are over, I will take you to the mainland and let you hear with your own ears the heroic deeds of your ancestors." Ryan promised.
"Sir Ryan, you will always be the most distinguished guest of our golden dwarf clan. From today on, we golden dwarves will no longer use the name black dwarf, which is a shame to our ancestors." Kekepi didn't know when he came.
Ryan's promise, so he shouted loudly.
"glory!"
"glory!"
"glory!"
All the golden dwarves raised their wine glasses excitedly and roared loudly, with tears streaming down their cheeks. They were obviously extremely excited.
"Clan Chief Kekepi, Chief Yanli, and Chief Wutuoman, drink, drink!" Ryan looked at the chiefs of these three tribes and said hello.
"Haha, you are so cheerful! Come on, let's go inside and drink!" Yan Li chuckled, and then replied meaningfully.
"Okay, you guys go in first and I'll say hello." After saying this, Ryan walked around for a while, drank a few glasses of wine, and then staggered into the house.
"Ryan, are you telling the truth?" Utoman asked eagerly first.
"Haha, do you doubt me?" Ryan asked with a smile as he looked at the suspicious eyes of the heads of the three tribes.
"We..." Utoman was about to explain.
"No, you go find some branches of the sacred tree, preferably ones with bugs on them. I will show you how to get rid of the bugs right away." Ryan waved his hand and said to the three Utomans.
"We have already brought this." Yan Li took a wooden box from behind and slowly placed it on the table.
Ryan opened it and saw that there were indeed several element-devouring insects on a branch, eating the leaves.
"Water polo technique!" A football-sized water polo appeared in Ryan's hand, and with a thought, the water polo technique fell directly into the wooden box.
"Hey! This insect is not dead!" Ke Kepi glanced at the insect and asked strangely.
"Haha, who said you have to kill the insects? Do you see any difference between the insects now and before?" Ryan was really speechless at this criticism.
"It's nothing, I just don't eat anything." Yan Li also replied doubtfully.
"Look, this bug is called an element-devouring bug. It will huddle together tightly when it comes into contact with water. Think about it, what would happen if they huddled together in a tree?" Ryan had no choice but to explain in depth.
"Falled off!" the three of them replied in unison.
"Smart, I will prepare some things under the tree beforehand. As long as it falls down and takes away the element-devouring insect, it will be fine." Ryan praised with a slight smile.
"So is what Yan said about the storm true?" Yan Li asked seriously at this time.
