Green Monster Epic

Chapter 398: Partner

Even the marriage partner had already been sent over, so the following outcome was pretty much set.

After a brief meeting with his future marriage partner, Allen welcomed the members of the Ajina tribe into the village and headed straight to the stone fort with Manolan Jin.

The two sides began further communication and exchange.

The Ajina tribe urgently needed a suitable ally—one who could arrive in time in case of potential conflicts, without demanding too many tribal benefits or posing a threat to the tribe.

Considering all the conditions, Allen turned out to be the most suitable choice in the wilderness.

Firstly, the Green Field Tribe did not have a large population, which meant they would not become a formal member of the Mansa Alliance in a short time.

Moreover, even if they had broad prospects and developed rapidly in the future, and were fortunate enough to meet the conditions for joining the alliance within a few hundred years, they would still need a stable ally when they first entered the alliance stage.

Bileier believed that with hundreds of years of integration and communication, the other party would not be so short-sighted as to abandon the Ajina tribe and choose another ally.

Of course, it also depended on the Ajina tribe's methods and efforts in getting along with the Green Field Tribe in the next few hundred years.

Secondly, what the Ajina tribe needed now was a strong force that could serve as a deterrent.

The long distances of thousands of miles between wilderness tribes meant that even if other tribes coveted the superior geographical environment of the Katol Canyon, they could not send large armies to confront and fight the Ajina tribe.

In the end, it still depended on the legendary powerhouses who were the backbone of the tribe.

In this regard, the Ajina tribe did have a significant weakness.

The entire tribe had a population of 130,000, but there were only two legendary powerhouses: Chief Bileier and Manolan Jin, with Chief Bileier being the strongest at the middle stage of the legendary realm.

Moreover, the tribe had too many gnome members, accounting for more than 60% of the population.

They might have good talents in spellcasting and intelligence, but to be honest, the wilderness was not fertile ground for spellcasters.

It was really difficult to advance to the legendary realm by relying on spellcasting professions.

Therefore, the Ajina tribe had always been close to the Oak Church, because they eagerly hoped to use the temple to produce a legendary powerhouse among the gnome spellcasters, such as druids or warlocks.

Allen, as a legendary powerhouse himself, had already proven his strength on the grassland.

His ability to kill a legendary of the same rank in actual combat meant that his deterrent force was much greater than that of other powerhouses of the same level.

Moreover, the location of the Green Field Tribe guarded by Allen was just on the barren plain in the western part of the Katol Mountains.

At the speed of a legendary powerhouse, it would not take more than a day to travel back and forth at full speed, which meant that he could come to the fortress to support at any time for the Ajina tribe, where conflicts might occur at any time.

Furthermore, Allen's bear-gnome bloodline and the Ajina tribe's earth-gnome's controlling position could make the relationship between the two parties more intimate…

These were the reasons why Bileier, as the chief of the Ajina tribe, decided to make great efforts to win over Allen, the bear-gnome of the same race, after careful consideration.

"Let me tell you, Chief Bileier felt sorry for a long time because of the conditions you proposed this time, so you can't let down our friendship!!"

Allen and Mano sat down, and the first thing they talked about was naturally the various conditions Allen had previously proposed.

At this time, Mano, with a look of heartache, looked at Allen eagerly and said earnestly.

"According to the saying of the civilized world, our two tribes will be in-law relationship in the future.

When Miss Reina gives birth to my bloodline offspring, there will be children with the bloodlines of both of our tribes.

Elder Mano, do you think I can do something that betrays faith under such relationship conditions?"

Allen heard the information revealed in the other party's words, and while he was secretly delighted, he naturally did not forget to say some good words to calm the other party's emotions.

"According to your request, I have brought this time the primary and intermediate parts of the two alchemy systems of magic potion alchemy and item alchemy, a total of 10 books."

"If these 10 books are put into Mansa City, they can be exchanged for at least tens of thousands of gold coins, and they are basically priceless.

Chief Allen, you have made a lot of money this time!!"

"Thank you, thank you!!"

"There is also the legendary inheritance.

This time, as a dowry to Chief Allen, it is an inheritance of elemental resistance.

If you can learn it, then Chief Allen, you can directly resist a certain series of spells below the fifth rank with your physical body.

What a powerful talent this is!"

"…"

When Allen first heard Mano's introduction, he couldn't help but express his gratitude, but when he heard about the legendary inheritance, the smile on his face gradually returned to normal.

It seemed that the Ajina tribe was not really a fool.

Elemental resistance seemed to have extremely strong effects, but in fact, it was somewhat useless.

On the market, there were too many magical equipment or props that could achieve the same effect as elemental resistance.

For example, the Bone Splitter that Allen was currently using had the effect of sealing magic, and it was the effect of eliminating all series of magic.

On the other hand, this elemental resistance inheritance, according to Allen's understanding, seemed to only produce resistance effects against a certain series of shaping elements, which was a big difference.

Of course, the Green Field Tribe had too little background, so it was better to have something than nothing.

Besides, the training of this elemental resistance specialty was actually a process of tempering the body invisibly.

It might not be as bad as it seemed on the surface.

No matter what, this was also a legendary specialty!

There was also the alchemy knowledge that Allen had always dreamed of.

Although these books were not as exaggerated as Mano described, requiring tens of thousands of gold coins to buy, it was indeed difficult to give a relatively complete system like Mano and the others without channels and time to accumulate.

These things all foreshadowed the future of the Green Field Tribe and were also related to the success or failure of many major plans of Allen in the future.

Comforting himself like this, Allen put on a friendly smile again and continued to communicate and exchange with Mano.

"…Also, among the gnomes who came with Reina this time, one is skilled in magic potion baking.

Seeing the development of your tribe before, it seems that you are planting magic potion plants.

It is also a great knowledge to preserve these!"

"…Among the other people, two are good at weaving baskets with rattan, and their skills are not bad.

One is a carpenter who has been an apprentice for three years and can already graduate…"

In general, every time Mano introduced a gnome he brought on this trip, Allen felt more joy in his heart.

With these skilled gnomes, the daily life of the village would be more abundant in the future.

For his reform, the daily used utensils and tools in the village had to be more varied, so that the different objects could stimulate the people's desire to compare, and enable everyone to strive for their own desires.

Allen's summary over the years has made him understand a truth: no matter how lofty the ideals and beliefs are, they cannot ultimately defeat a person's inner selfish desires.

Perhaps a person can maintain his lofty beliefs and pursuits, but in a social system with a large number of ethnic groups, these beliefs and ideals are not as tempting as a full meal or a new dress.

Based on this, Allen asked Mano to send a group of craftsmen to enrich the slightly monotonous living environment in the tribe.

Craftsmen who weave baskets and burn pottery figurines are not very popular in the wilderness, nor are they important resources, because what they produce does not help to strengthen the tribe's strength, nor does it have much value.

Therefore, Mano agreed to Allen's request without hesitation.

Only tribes like Ajina, who often deal with the civilized world and have a prosperous scene, will have such craftsmen.

Although the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is actually not complicated, if Allen really wanted to, he could collect them, but instead of spending energy and resources on it, it was better to take advantage of the current opportunity and directly ask the Ajina tribe for it, which would save a lot of trouble, especially time.

"However, we have sent you so many useful talents and precious books, so the dowry in terms of funds and jewelry is not so generous."

While drinking the juice brought up by the servants in the stone fort, Mano leisurely ended his boastful statement.

"That's for sure.

We are in this remote place, and we can't spend so much gold coins!"

Allen smiled self-deprecatingly, but deep down he was already very satisfied.

The other party basically made adjustments according to his requirements, which was to completely confirm the marriage.

"Then, Chief Allen, do you agree to our marriage proposal?"

Seeing that Alan didn't nitpick his bargaining chip, Mano immediately seized the opportunity to test the waters.

"Well, now that I've seen Miss Lena's beautiful face, I really want to thank Elder Mano and Chieftain Bilaire for choosing such an excellent partner for me!"

Alan slowly nodded, giving the other party a definite answer.

"Anyway, Lena has come with me this time, and so many dowries have been sent over. To avoid trouble, why don't you just handle the marriage matters?"

Bringing a team over this time, and even preparing all the dowries that Alan requested, it can be seen that the other party is eager to win Alan over to his tribe. Now that Alan has finally agreed, Mano naturally doesn't want any complications and proposed again on the spot.

Anyway, marriage in the wilderness is actually not that grand. Many small and medium-sized tribes don't even have this concept. If they really fancy a female, they either use force directly, or spend some small tricks to pursue her until the two finally get together without any waves.

Looking at Alan's attitude, he doesn't seem to value the etiquette of weddings in the civilized world that much. Since this is the case, Mano also hopes to simplify the matter and report back to the chieftain.

"I have no problem!"

Alan shook his head indifferently. Speaking of which, he himself only had a superficial understanding of marriage. The villagers who formed partners didn't have any pomp either.

"Okay, let's get this done tomorrow!"

Mano slammed his palm heavily on the heavy ironwood long table, and said decisively in a loud voice.

The next day, the villagers got up early and began to get busy. Although everyone didn't have much of a concept about weddings, this matter concerned the clan leader, who was like a pillar of support in the clan, so no matter how much importance was attached to it, it was appropriate.

The females in the village picked vegetables and cleaned, and the males were also busy tidying up the corners of the village, making sure to tidy up the whole village before the afternoon. There were also the short earth goblins, who, under the instructions of Tom and Tony, ran into the wilderness to find blooming flowers, and brought them back to the village together with their roots, arranging a sea of flowers.

Many of the ideas were suggested by Philip, the old man. At this time, although he was slow to move and pointed with a cane, Philip's face was rarely full of rosy color. Philip had suffered a lot these years, but on the whole, Alan took good care of him. Even if he was old and incompetent now, the other party didn't mind at all. When there were things to discuss, he would always come to him and ask for his opinion.

Ever since Camellia lost an arm, she completely stayed away from the kitchen, and her original good skills could no longer be used. However, this time Alan got married, Camellia volunteered to make a dish as a congratulatory gift for Alan's marriage. However, looking at her expression, others couldn't find a trace of joy, but more of a grumpy and unhappy state.

Dasan pulled Blackhead, and the two of them went straight to the depths of the wilderness to hunt a powerful beast to congratulate Alan, and they had been missing since last night.

Kou'er, Shisheng and other younger generation goblins gathered together, whispering and discussing using a wonderful competition as a gift to create an atmosphere.

Even Mandoli and Shalihua, the couple, also represented the gray dwarves and sent out an extremely exquisite and practical intermediate magic weapon as their gift.

… … … …

When time passed quickly to the afternoon, the entire Green Lake Village was shrouded in a strong aroma. As the birthplace of gourmet food that was already a little famous in the Ferman world, almost more than half of the villagers in Green Lake Village had good skills. Among them, the earth goblins who were good at learning and knew how to innovate already showed signs of surpassing the blue, after all, Alan, as the patriarch, spent too much time on improving himself and managing the important affairs of the tribe. Naturally, things like developing new dishes became the most important thing for the smart earth goblins in the tribe.

According to the strategy that Alan the patriarch had already formulated, if he wanted to make the Green Field Plain a place to attract outsiders, the biggest bargaining chip would undoubtedly be the Alan gourmet series created by Alan.

In order to commemorate Alan's contribution to gourmet food, the villagers also included every dish they researched into Alan's dishes as a supplement to the gourmet series.

On this happy day, the villagers would naturally not be stingy with their skills. Various raw materials were supplied openly. Anyone who felt that they had unique skills and flavors for a certain dish could come on stage and make a large pot and place it on the long dining table that had already been set up.

The village square could no longer accommodate gatherings of thousands of people, so the villagers simply rushed to harvest several acres of fertile land by Green Lake, and combined stone shaping spells to temporarily piece together a large square covering a very wide area. In the center of the square, there were eight or nine dining tables just for displaying food, each dining table was nearly twenty meters long and more than one meter wide.

In addition to various delicacies, the fruit wine, malt wine, etc. brewed in the village over the years were also supplied openly. There were also fruit juices made from berries picked by the villagers temporarily in the wilderness, which were also colorful and stored in blocks of solid ice for people to take at any time.

Alan rarely wore that slightly comical legendary leather armor, but instead wore a tailored emerald green gown that fit his slender figure very well. It is said that this dress was passed down from the Elven Kingdom, and the silk dress was full of luster, giving people a cool texture. What was a little awkward was still Alan's earth goblin head.

Looking at the smiles and happiness on the faces of the surrounding villagers, and bowing to him from time to time to express sincere congratulations, Alan felt a little proud in his heart, and at the same time couldn't help but reflect that perhaps the village should hold such grand celebration days from time to time.

Over the decades, the number of times the entire tribe had celebrated could be counted on the fingers. Alan, who had always been pragmatic, always felt that holding such a dinner party was a waste of food, but he ignored the sense of happiness and identity that this celebration behavior itself would bring to the tribe.

Thinking about it, Alan was already a little dazed until Clay came up holding a wine glass filled with bright red wine, with two blushes on his cheeks.

"Congratulations, Patriarch Alan, I didn't expect that I could also attend your wedding!"

Clay was filled with emotions. The earth goblin who broke into Thornsburg in a daze back then had now become a legendary powerhouse. The country bumpkins who followed him into the civilized world at the beginning had now become excellent natives who knew right from wrong and possessed a skill. All of this was the change that the earth goblin in front of him had made little by little with his people.

"Thank you, actually I myself didn't expect that there would be such a day."

Alan smiled shyly and passed it off, then pointed to the countless kinds of delicacies in the field and said boldly: "You can't miss it today, I don't know when you will have to wait to eat so many delicacies again!"

"Do I need you to say that?"

Clay laughed loudly and patted his bulging belly, which made a thumping sound.

If his appetite wasn't so big, I'm afraid he would still be lingering among the countless delicacies in the square whose names he couldn't name!

Speaking of which, after coming to Green Lake Village, there was less of the prosperous scene in Thornsburg, but there were more benefits of being able to enjoy various delicacies every day, which added a bit of flavor to the lives of clergy members like Clay. Even when living in Thornsburg, in fact, clergy members like Clay stayed in the temple area for their daily life, and they could only go out to practice for a few months a year, which was not necessarily much more comfortable than in Green Lake Village.

"Congratulations."

After greeting Clay, Eric, who had been hiding from Clay and had not come forward to congratulate him, finally came up and said sincerely.

"Thank you."

Alan returned a smile, and then the two stood side by side, looking at the surrounding prosperous scene, with different moods. Alan was sighing that it took him many years of management to have the current scene, while Eric next to him was tasting the sincere laughter and life of the intelligent species of the Ferman world.

"… … By the way, I think the thing you proposed before can be tried. I don't know if you are interested in joining?"

For a moment, there was silence, but Alan finally broke the deadlock and turned his deep gaze to the other party.

"You mean… Oh, is it the matter of excavating the Western Mountain Range?"

Eric was a little puzzled at first, but he quickly reacted, and a few expressions of surprise quickly appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, I spent more than half a month in the Mansha Mountains, choosing a suitable location to actually excavate a section of the foothills. If the natural principle you mentioned is real and achievable, then I think starting now is not a bad thing."

"Once my marriage is settled, I plan to dispatch a group of slaves to start this century-long undertaking."

Allen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a light of hope, as if he could already see a beautiful future.

"…"

Eric's eyes were complex. His initial suggestion was only to prove that his ideas were correct, and to persuade Allen to allow him to preach freely in the village like the Oak Church. But when it came to actually implementing this suggestion, Eric felt that Allen was somewhat fearless.

This was a plan that would take at least several centuries. Even if a breakthrough was made, nature was ever-changing and had never been controlled by humans. Eric himself didn't have much confidence, but the goblin chieftain in front of him had made up his mind to do it just because of a word from him. This kind of courage and decisiveness might be seen as ignorance and foolishness by many, but in Eric's eyes, the other party had already earned his respect.

For no other reason than that Allen, the goblin chieftain, was not satisfied with the gradual improvement of the tribe's life, but focused on the future, hoping to provide the tribe with a better environment. Such foresight is rare even among humans who pride themselves on being intelligent.

"What do you need me to do?"

Eric was silent for a long time, then slowly asked. Regardless of the reason, now that Allen, the landlord, was asking for his opinion, he had to express his position. Moreover, deep in Eric's heart, Allen had inspired a fighting spirit, wanting to compete with him to see who had stronger perseverance.

"After communicating with you before, I felt that your ideas were good, but ideas need empirical evidence to be convincing. Countless religions stand in the Ferman world, with countless followers. The biggest evidence they have is the gods above the firmament. The so-called bestowal of divine grace every year is actually just proving their existence to their believers."

"And your ideas directly abandon the most awe-inspiring gods in this world, wanting everyone to believe in the value of self, which is a difficult choice from the beginning."

"If you participate in the excavation of my Greenwild Plains, and in the future it really changes the environment of the Greenwild Plains and turns it into fertile land, this real proof of existence may make your preaching a lot easier, at least in my tribe."

"No matter how good and loud the slogans are, if you don't put them into practice and come up with real examples, people will always feel that they are ethereal."

Allen said earnestly, patting Eric on the shoulder.

"…I will consider it."

Eric looked solemn, obviously taking Allen's words to heart.

Seeing that the other party had fallen into deep thought, Allen didn't bother him any further. He raised his glass and walked directly towards another familiar figure. Boban, the old jackal, was rarely seen these days, shrinking back in his rebuilt tribal territory, rarely coming out…

This time, Allen painstakingly chatted with Eric, a human, for so long, hoping to use this suggestion to make the steps of both sides more compatible and closer. The knowledge and inheritance that Eric and his party brought out from the Church of Spring are far from what the current Greenwild tribe can compare with. The biggest goal in choosing to win over the other party to settle in the tribe was these things.

However, seeing the other party's actions, they still seemed isolated from the village, as if there was a big gap, which was not what Allen wanted to see. In the last conversation with Eric, the other party had already revealed that he wanted to spread the so-called 'No True God, Self-Reliance and Self-Improvement' idea in the village, indicating that they were gradually letting go of their defenses and entering the village's living circle, but Allen still hoped that the other party's pace could be faster and communicate more with the village.

In this way, the villagers can be exposed to all kinds of magical knowledge and inheritance.

Even if the entire Greenwild tribe, with its 5-6 thousand members, was mobilized for such a grand plan as excavating the mountains, it would still have to be calculated in units of centuries before it could succeed. Even if all of Eric's hundred-odd people were pulled to the Mansha Mountains to work hard, it wouldn't help much with the progress of the construction.

However, this could allow Allen to take this opportunity to close the distance between each other, accelerate the warming of friendship, and at the same time let the other party see his recognition of his set of ideas. All of these things can be done with just one suggestion, and Allen would naturally not let it go.

While Eric was pondering, time passed quickly, and Allen, the village leader's wedding, came to an end as the crimson moon in the sky gradually rose higher. When the moon was in the middle of the sky, countless tribesmen in the wide temporary square lay on the ground without any image, drunkenly talking in their sleep and snoring. Our protagonist, Allen, walked slowly into his flower-filled stone castle with a body full of alcohol.

"Turn off the lights and go to sleep."

Allen looked at the unfamiliar female face beside him, his eyes indifferent.

"Okay."

Lena's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, with a hint of shyness, and then she lay down on the bed with her clothes on.

"When couples sleep together, they have to take off their clothes."

Allen frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled. Didn't the other party know the true meaning of sleeping in his mouth?

Now that they were married, the other party would be his partner in the future. Allen didn't pretend to be a gentleman. Although he wasn't really ready for this.

"Ah? Oh…"

The young Lena exclaimed, although she was a little shy and unwilling, she didn't dare to resist Allen, the legendary adult, in the slightest. She got up and slowly took off the light gauze on her body, revealing the emerald green skin inside, like new leaves.

Bright eyes and white teeth, a delicate and shy face, imprinted in Allen's eyes, male hormones rushed in Allen's body, and another clone in his lower body gradually woke up, and began to gesticulate in the pants Allen was wearing.

Just as Allen was about to take action and pounce on Lena to vent his animal nature, Lena, who had taken off her green shirt, burrowed into the quilt with her naked body, hugged her knees with her hands, presenting the state of a newborn baby, and then closed her eyes in front of Allen and was really about to start sleeping.

Allen was a little speechless. The impulse and irritability in his heart made him unhappy. Taking advantage of the gap when he took off his clothes, a ray of light flashed from the Ice Heart Armguard hidden under his clothes. On this spring night, he directly used the mechanized mind to suppress the instinct of biological reproduction.

Although the mechanized mind gradually cleared Allen's expression, Allen was still very clear about what should be done as a partner at night. He jumped lightly and landed on the stone bed, leaned over and lay down, waking Lena, who was about to fall asleep.

"There are still some things to do before couples sleep together. Let's finish them before we sleep, otherwise we won't be able to reproduce."

Allen's tone was calm, and his eyes were very clear, as if Lena, the earth spirit, was trapped in it.

"Ah? Uncle Mano told me that after the marriage, I would just sleep with you!"

The more contact with the civilized world, the deeper the influence. Young earth spirits like Lena, who have never left the tribe from birth to adulthood, have only a superficial understanding of reproduction. After all, the civilized world values the ethics of reproduction most. Private matters are like taboos. Unless you really get married and have children, the more boudoir aristocrats are, the less they know about the secrets of the boudoir.

Lena obviously had little contact with such reproductive matters since she was a child. After hearing what Allen said, she couldn't help but open her big, orchid-colored eyes and asked stupidly.

"It's not just sleeping between partners, there's also having offspring!"

Allen thought he had seen many scenes of reproduction in the tribe. When he was young, the tribe was still poor and ignorant. Reproduction in the tribe was often unmanned, so at least Allen at this time was much more knowledgeable than Lena under him.
