Chapter 500: Deep Blue Hellfire World (5)
Yao can observe his expression and expression. After seeing Locke's impatientness, Yao went straight to the topic and said, "Our tribe has some gifts to the Knight."
Yao's wings shaking slightly, and the sound waves of some frequency were emitted to the outside. A team of thunder locusts that had been prepared had walked in with two large boxes.
Locke didn't move and continued to watch them perform.
After the box was put down, it made a dull and loud noise, and there were still a lot of things inside.
Under Yao's eyes, one of the Thunder Locust ants slashed with his arm knife and opened the box, revealing a pile of purple bamboo poles inside.
"Purple-Huang Bamboo?" Locke's eyelids moved slightly. Every day, several magicians' wives were by his side. His knowledge became more and more advanced. This magical plant containing water and thunder elements is deeply loved by some magicians.
However, the value of Zihuang bamboo is relatively low, slightly more precious than the thunder bamboo made by the Thunder Locust Ant tribe outside, but it is also limited.
Another large box was also opened quickly, and it was also a whole box of Zihuang bamboo.
"Sir, we want to exchange the amount of payment of Zihuang Bamboo for the amount of payment of Blood Locust Stone." Yao said to Locke.
In layman's terms, it is to increase the tribute of Zihuang bamboo, hoping that Locke can reduce the tribute of their blood locust stones.
Locke patted the bamboo chair with his fingers, but did not give the answer quickly.
He was the right to confiscate the power of materials from all races in the Maxishang Mountains. He decided by whom he asked him to collect. Locke only needed to complete the total amount of materials required by the Knights' Palace when the floating ships of the Iron Leaf Castle arrive in each quarter.
Locke can help Yao, but it won’t cost him much. The key point is how Yao thanks him.
These two boxes of Zihuang bamboo are gifts of Yao. It seems that the output of Zihuang bamboo in this tribal territory is very high. It can take such a bribe and replace the supply of the blood locust stones.
"You can pay half of the amount of Blood Locust Stone every quarter, but Zihuang Bamboo must double the amount of payment." Locke said in an unquestionable tone.
"Okay." Yao was also quick-witted.
Before Locke came here to take office, Yao's tribe colluded with the previous garrison knight, and everyone got what they wanted, it was no big deal.
Blood Locust Stone can increase the survival rate of Thunder Locust larvae and is the most important material for the Thunder Locust tribe.
The reason why the Yao tribe also suffered heavy losses in the volcanic eruption a month ago, but it still managed to collect the amount of Thunder and Chi Stone payments is because their tribe has a large population base.
Enough blood locust stone powder to feed Thunder locust larvae can not only make the survival rate of the larvae reach 70%, but also enhance the physical constitution of the Thunder locust ants.
As for Locke's request to double the payment amount of Zihuang Bamboo, in addition to filling in the gap in the blood locust stone, it also makes it easier for him to include it in his pocket.
This is a tacit deal. Although Locke was the manager of the Knights' Palace sent to the Maximum Mountains, he could not blatantly charge hundreds of thousands of creatures in the Maximum Mountains.
If you do it too much, it will cause dissatisfaction from the superiors, or make people feel miserable, causing the amount of materials handed over in the next quarter to not meet the standards, and some of them will be the hardship that Locke will suffer.
After a little rest in Yao's tribe, Locke left and advanced towards the location of the next tribe.
On the way, Locke pointed to the Yao tribe who had just left and said to An, "Remember, the amount of blood locust stones paid in this tribe will be reduced by half, and the amount of Zihuang bamboo will be doubled!"
An nodded in confusion and wrote down the matter.
No matter which plane you are in, you really need a flexible brain to do well.
It is said that the Thunder Locust clan is low in intelligence. Except for fertility and combat effectiveness, all other indicators are lower than those of the Rydermonds. Locke doesn't think so today.
The leader of the Thunder Locust Tribe, Yao, was much smarter than the leaders of the Rydermond tribe who did not know how to adapt.
The Maximum Mountains are big and small. Locke thought that he could complete the task of confiscating all tribes in one day, but he didn't expect that after two days of working, he completed all tribes.
It was also the strong suppression and orders led by many slave creatures in the past two days that all the intelligent indigenous creatures in the Magnetic Mountains met this newly-accommodated first-level knight.
When he returned to the mountaintop residence, Locke was exhausted, but he did not rush to rest, but listened patiently to An's report and summarized the gains of the past two days.
This is the first time Locke manages such a large area, nearly a hundred tribes and hundreds of thousands of creatures.
, and have such high authority.
"There are 98 ethnic groups in total, fifty-six of them completed the payment amount, and thirty-seven tribes ensured that the payment amount was made up within the next three weeks. Only five ethnic groups said they really couldn't complete it." Ann reported to Locke.
Locke is roughly clear about the situation of the five tribes. It is located in the center of the eruption of the volcanic group. It is considered that they are lucky to have not exterminated the entire tribe. The tribe suffers and suffers. No matter how much Locke forces them, it is useless.
He can't transform mining tribes into these races out of thin air.
"The amount of payment for those five races can be reduced as appropriate." Locke touched his chin and said, "If you find other races to make up for the insufficient amount, you can also complete the amount of payment for the only five races."
"Yes." An replied.
Locke's actions made An feel that the knight was not as cruel as she thought. At least in some details, Locke was better than her previous one, at least not forcing the five races that really couldn't complete the mission to the dead end.
There is also some of An's subjective intentions, because three of the five ethnic groups that could not complete the task were Ledmonds.
An is a kind Rydermond girl.
After waved his hand and let An leave, Locke had the time to lie down and rest for a while.
The stationing mission in the Maxisun Mountains is not tiring. He only needs to pay attention to the delivery of materials in each quarter. Lei Chishi is the top priority and must not be careless.
The importance of other types of materials is at the first level, such as the two boxes of purple bamboos that Locke received bribes, and the blood locust stones that the Thunder Locust tribe urgently needed.
Lock, who was holding a light blue stone in his palm, could clearly feel the thunder and fire energy contained in it. What is the reason for this thunder and fire stone that attracted so much attention from the Knight Palace.
After observing for a long time, he found nothing. Locke is not a person who likes to be stubborn. He doesn't think about it, so he just falls asleep.
He has a year to stay here next, and he has time to explore. Moreover, when he first arrived at the alien plane, in addition to completing the tasks given by the Knights Hall, he also has his own plans.
