Chapter 431 For the Tribe
. Bi is the richest person in the Fire Tribe Alliance. According to private rumors, he alone has enough wealth to arm a large army and buy a medium-sized tribe. He
never expected that such a person would be waiting for him outside, and had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Don't be too surprised. Wealth depends on power, including those large Blackwater merchants. There are also people behind them."
The little fat man explained to his good friend with a smile .
"Who is behind the Blackwater merchants?"
He was really curious about this, because he himself did this.
"The Spring Tribe and the Star Tribe, with the Star Tribe as the main one."
The little fat man said with a wealthy smile.
He felt that he had to re-examine his friend. After all this time, was he working for their family?
"Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the God of Fire?"
asked Li as he walked out.
"It was the order of the God of Fire, otherwise no one would dare to do it under the watchful eyes
of the Code Totem." When the little fat man mentioned the Code Totem, he trembled with fear.
Li could understand why he was afraid. It is said that the Code Totem has the ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and between good and evil. Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts, and no one dares to face such an existence.
The two of them had already left the courtyard while talking. Outside the door, a middle-aged man in linen clothes with a calm face stood there quietly. When he saw the two people coming out, a faint smile appeared on his calm face.
"Feng, Li, follow me."
He called out the names of the two people accurately, turned around and led the way.
Li and the little fat man looked at each other and followed silently.
There was some surprise in the eyes of Hao. In his imagination, the clothes of Coin should be more luxurious, at least the linen should be dyed, and there should be some pearls on his hands.
However, he had none of these. He was dressed very simply, and you could even see the spots on the linen that became transparent due to excessive washing.
"Where are we going?"
Hao asked, suppressing his surprise.
"We have prepared several houses for you, and you need to choose one yourself."
"Why?"
Hao asked in confusion.
He felt that he did nothing, but got a lot instead. Shi arranged for someone to give him a house, which made him completely confused.
Coin slowed down his steps, let the two boys behind him walk side by side with him, and answered in a voice that was not loud but could be heard clearly by the two of them.
"You need a quiet place to cultivate. At the same time, the path you explore is not necessarily safe. This is what you deserve. 'Everyone who contributes to the Fire Tribe Alliance should get his due reward.' This is what the Fire God said to me personally."
His smile makes people feel like spring breeze. Although his voice is not loud, his expression is very rich, which makes people feel close to him.
"Which tribe are you from?"
asked with some curiosity.
"I was originally from the Fire Tribe, and then I moved to the Ox Tribe to farm, and then to the Horse Tribe as a groom. Finally, I became famous by buying the pearl in Donghai City and returned to the Fire Tribe."
Bin told all his situation without hiding anything.
He knew who he was dealing with, and he also knew that this matter could be seen as a long-term transaction. He was so patient and unobtrusive in welcoming Feng, just for the sake of long-term investment.
"Is the story of buying the box and returning the pearls true?"
The fat man Feng also asked curiously.
Bi smiled, with wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, giving people a happy feeling: "It's true."
That was his famous battle. At that time, the trade route had just developed. He went to Donghai City to purchase goods. Pearls were in short supply at that time, and he couldn't buy them at all.
In the process of searching hard, he found a pearl seller. He bought the pearls from the seller, but kept the wooden box, and returned the pearls to the pearl seller with disdain.
Because of this incident, many people came to him to sell pearls, hoping to make a profit like the original pearl seller, but in the end, he bought the pearls without exception, and no one was treated like the first pearl owner.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
He couldn't help but ask curiously.
Although everyone thought he did it on purpose, everyone who had seen him couldn't help but ask again. He was used to it and nodded with a smile.
"The story of buying the pearl and returning it has long been spread from the Chuanmo Temple. When I was a child, I thought that if I had a pearl one day, I would sell it to such a fool. Later, I didn't have the opportunity to sell the pearl, but I encountered the situation of buying the pearl first, so..." He
didn't say anything more, just a smile, and the two teenagers understood what he meant.
"Then how do you convince the Horse Tribe to only be responsible for transportation and not do the trading themselves?"
Feng asked again with a curious look on his face.
He felt that this matter was more powerful than buying the catkins and returning the pearls, because buying the catkins and returning the pearls was to use wisdom to trick the merchants, while convincing the Horse Tribe was to use wisdom to trick power.
This is a very difficult thing. You know, as the first tribe to surrender to the Sword Tribe Alliance, the Horse Tribe is still favored by the Fire Tribe.
The smile on Bi's face faded, and he was silent for a while: "It was the God of Fire who asked them to do that."
This result was completely beyond the guesses of the two teenagers. They looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"Qian will become a tribe, and the God of Fire thinks this is very important, so currently the trading of money can only be taken over by designated merchants, and I am one of them."
Bi said with a wry smile.
This is not a secret, but it is not public information either. Even though Bong is the son of the Spring Witch, he does not know this.
"You mean, you might become a witch?"
凓 reacted very quickly and asked immediately.
"It could also be the leader."
Coin gave an affirmative answer.
Money became the tribe, this idea still sounds quite novel. After all, there are not many tribes like the Tao tribe that use objects as totems, and money is a product strongly promoted by the God of Fire.
In fact, the tribes still think that bartering is better. Many times, copper money is not very useful in hand.
And the Fire Tribe Alliance has very strict control over copper money:
no private destruction, no aid to the enemy, no melting of castings, etc. This thing is a hot potato. The
only advantage is that after the children of the family become warriors, they can melt the copper money into red copper weapons through the people of the Hammer Tribe, which can greatly increase the combat power.
The three of them walked side by side, and along the way, Bi told them a lot of things they didn't know.
For example, if the team went on an expedition, Bi would be responsible for logistics; for example, now witches and leaders all have copper income, and Bi is also responsible for this part, etc.
Bi is humorous, and he doesn't look down on the two of them because of his age. He talked about many things that the two of them didn't know, and after a while, he had already won the favor of the two of them.
After leaving the dojo and walking through several courtyards, the three of them finally stopped at the last courtyard. Bi told them that there were only these choices.
"Brother Bi, do you have any suggestions?"
He himself had never picked a house, and the fat man Feng was not much better than him. In the end, he chose to ask Bi.
Bi didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while before slowly speaking.
"The closer you are to the altar, the smaller the martial arts arena is. The courtyard next to the altar doesn't have a martial arts arena at all. If you need a martial arts arena more, I suggest you choose the courtyard farthest from the altar. The martial arts arena there is large enough and suitable for training."
After thinking about it, he felt that what Bi said was right, but he didn't understand why Bi gave him a choice without a martial arts arena, so he asked.
"Brother Bi, since you know my need for a martial arts arena, why did you arrange a house close to the altar for me?"
"Rights."
Bi blurted out without any hesitation, and it was obvious that this was what he had thought about long ago.
"The closer you are to the altar, the closer you are to the center of power. You must know that if you can cultivate the path of the totem spirit body well, the next generation of the Fire Tribe leader may be you, and the owner of the second dojo may also be you."
He was shocked and opened his mouth to speak but swallowed it back immediately.
At this time, many problems have not been thought through. If he said the wrong thing, it would be better not to say it, so he chose to keep silent.
Coin seemed to see through his mind in an instant, looked at him with admiration, and then continued.
"This requires your own efforts and growth, but power tactics are also important. It is good for you to be close to the center of power."
This sentence is very metaphorical. Coin let Coin think about it after he finished speaking. It took Coin a while to figure out what he meant.
If he can't break through, even if he can't be the leader of the Fire Tribe Alliance, wandering around the center of power will not be bad in the future.
"Whatever you choose, the final choice is yours."
Yuan ended with this sentence, clearly indicating that he would not express his opinion again.
He looked at Feng and saw that he did not look at him. He understood that he was also waiting for his choice.
This is an important choice. Choosing the largest martial arts arena proves that he has the courage to take responsibility and is willing to fight for a future for the martial arts of the Fire Tribe Alliance.
If he chooses one that is closer to the altar, it proves that he lacks self-confidence and has little desire to take responsibility.
The former is bound to be difficult, and the latter may have many risks and difficulties.
But I want to be a great witch... He raised his head and looked at the sky that was gradually getting dark, his eyes a little vague.
That was his parents' last wish and his original pursuit. Even if he was the chief of the Fire Tribe Alliance, in his opinion, it was not as good as becoming a great witch.
"If you become a great leader, you can definitely become a great witch, even if you don't have the skills of a preaching witch or a spirit-granting witch. This is the benefit of power."
Feng suddenly spoke.
He saw the hesitation in his friend's heart, and knew what he was thinking from his sad expression.
"I choose the yard with the largest martial arts field. I think this choice is also what the old man likes."
With Feng's words, Li made a choice in an instant.
No matter how many hardships there are ahead, he will go on firmly, for himself and for the tribe.
"For the tribe."
Li stretched out his hand, and Feng grasped his hand.
"For the tribe."
The two young men held hands tightly together, as if they were making an unbreakable oath and setting a lifelong ambition.
At this moment, he walked out of the shadow of his parents' death, because he had more important things to do and heavier responsibilities.
There is always a moment when people grow up, make an unbreakable vow, and bravely move forward.
