Chapter 334334 Conditions for Peace (2)
"But I have a suggestion. Do you think it's okay?" Xia Tian suggested, "Let's symbolically collect some food and then ask for a piece of land."
Asking the other party to provide labor as compensation and providing them with food can not only achieve the purpose of punishing the other party, but also respect the other party's personality.
The most important thing is that it reduces the workload in the current tribe, allowing everyone to move to the new camp in the shortest time possible.
However, although they respected the Jintong tribe, they could not rely solely on this, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve the effect of punishment. Look, some of them were still eager to try!
Therefore, neither the cession of territory, the payment of indemnities nor the export of labor can be omitted.
Si Ye didn't expect that Xia Tian thought more thoroughly than her. This way, he could eliminate a lot of dissatisfaction in his tribe, which was a win-win situation.
Of course he agreed. "I think so. You are from this tribe, and you are familiar with their character. Since you think this is a good idea, let's do it."
Then, he translated Xia Tian's suggestion into his own words and announced it to everyone again as a supplement.
The general idea is that the main focus is on labor export, but a certain amount of food still needs to be provided, and the hilltop close to the territory must be allocated to them.
Now, the orcs in the tribe finally felt comfortable.
"Hehe, I told you Ah Ye wouldn't cheat us. Sure enough, he still cares about us. Humph, let them bring their own food!"
"But why a mountain? Is there something particularly valuable inside?"
"I don't care. I don't care what it is, but as long as I see them uncomfortable, I feel comfortable."
At this moment, the people of the Jintong tribe were not as excited as before.
So I still have to compensate for the food?
But fortunately, they didn't ask for much. As for that hill, not many people go there usually. So they just gave it to him. There's no need to feel bad about it.
In this way, the two sides reached a "consensus" on reconciliation and held a ceremony, which was notarized by the Beast God and finally took effect.
The main manpower of the Jintong tribe stayed behind, and the rest returned to the tribe to prepare the "compensation" that had been agreed upon before.
There were also a few people who took Si Ye and Xia Tian to the hilltop of the territory over there and redivided the territory.
On the way back, it was just the two of them. Si Ye then asked her, "Why do you insist on staying on this hill? Is there a reason?"
It is normal to ask for compensation for food, as it is a daily necessity, but what is the point of asking for a barren mountain?
According to the people of the Jintong tribe, no one ever sets foot here, and no plants worth using grow here. It is completely useless.
But why did Xia Tian specifically ask for this mountain?
"There's a huge treasure in this mountain." Xia Tian raised her eyebrows, stopped, picked up a pitch-black stone from the ground and handed it over, "Here, look, this is the treasure of this mountain."
Si Ye raised his hand to take the black stone from the girl's hand, and looked at it carefully in the light.
This stone is very brittle when held in the hand, and can be turned into powder with a light pinch. Its angular shape is very distinctive, and even a bit... beautiful.
But no matter how I look at it, I can't see what's special about this stone.
It doesn’t look like a gem, nor does it look like anything edible. What use is it?
