Green Monster Epic

Chapter 712: Introduction

“Wouldn't it be more valuable to directly send your clansmen to our Culinary Academy to be taught by the most outstanding culinary teachers, rather than those two sets of recipes?”

Allen glanced slyly at Yogg's old face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Our children spend a lot of money to learn things. While you do teach them how to cook magic dishes, how many recipes can they learn at the academy? To delve deeper into more magic dishes, not only do they have to pay a high price, but they also have to sign a magic contract with you, absolutely forbidding the magic chefs from leaving behind any recipes for magic dishes or privately teaching related culinary skills.”

“Calculating it this way, for every dish our chefs sent to the academy to learn, we have to pay each time. You guys are reaping the benefits without lifting a finger, how cunning! ! ”

“It would be better for us to gather some recipes ourselves. In the long run, it's much more cost-effective than the recipes the children learn at the academy! ! ”

“Don't think we're stupid. We understand this much.”

Yogg stared resentfully at Allen, like a forsaken woman, making Allen's heart tremble slightly.

Turning his head, he glanced around. Except for the Raven's Claw and Snowme tribes, which didn't send important representatives to the meeting, the remaining members of these tribes, with legendary powerhouses present, attended the remaining meeting, obviously prepared.

“Hahaha, your words make me feel guilty.”

Allen laughed heartily, interrupting the speech of the gnoll moderator on the stage, and stood up to say, “Okay, I won't beat around the bush with everyone. Regarding the recipe issue within our Thorns Ring, I have indeed given it serious consideration.”

“Just like Yogg said, as allies among these northern tribes, it would be wrong of my tribe not to think of everyone first when selling good things.”

“Therefore, I have indeed prepared two sets of recipes of the same standard for each member tribe present, and also a few additional recipe diagrams with good effects.”

“However, I will also charge the same market price for these diagrams. But since the Oak Trade Company hasn't officially sold these diagrams yet, we have no way of judging their price. You may have to wait for a while before we can know the value of the auction.”

“……”

The crowd was silent, but quickly adjusted: “After all, the recipes belong to your tribe, so it's right to charge. But Chieftain Allen, you also said that we are allies. Is it appropriate to treat your allies the same as outsiders when buying these diagrams… … ”

Lizardman Chieftain Fendi didn't say it outright, but the underlying meaning in his words was already overflowing. Dissatisfaction lurked in his pair of vertical pupils, which were very similar to those of a dragon.

The others were more or less disappointed. After all, the essence of their coming to Allen this time was to obtain the recipes from the Greenwood Tribe at a more affordable price.

“Everyone, listen to me finish before deciding whether you are willing to pay for these recipes.”

Allen faced the tribal leaders frankly and said slowly, “Since the last reform, the Thorns Ring team has played an increasingly important role in the North, which everyone can see.”

“However, since everyone jointly formed the law enforcement team last time and jointly opened up the Blackwind Cliff stronghold in the southeastern foothills, our organization hasn't made any major moves.”

“The humans in the south are planning ahead, preparing for another great war. What is the situation with the elves in the north? Has everyone gathered more detailed information about them over such a long time?”

“I think not! ! ”

Allen looked around at these tribal representatives earnestly. He knew exactly what these guys were thinking. The Greenwood, Raven's Claw, and Snowme tribes were at the forefront. Even if the elves made any major moves, these tribes in the rear would have time to respond.

In that case, why should they go to the trouble of spending energy and manpower to explore the specific actions of the elves? Wouldn't that be a waste of effort?

It cannot be said that every leader of the wilderness tribe is so short-sighted, but to be honest, there are very few leaders who are as far-sighted as Allen and willing to invest heavily in the layout.

“The crisis is in front of everyone. If everyone doesn't pay attention to it now, it will still be us who will encounter danger and even be exterminated in the future.”

“We have already discussed the alliance's attitude towards our North. Although it has improved now because of my promotion to demigod, this support can be said to be a drop in the bucket for the enemies we have to face. If we don't unite and work hard ourselves, the outcome we will face in the future will not be better than when the Snowme and Raven's Claw were expelled from their homeland.”

Still the same old topic, Allen tirelessly instilled the concept of unity to the tribal representatives present. Although it may not cause much of a ripple.

“Therefore, this time, the proceeds from everyone paying for these recipes will be stored separately in the public treasury of our Thorns Ring team.”

“At the same time, taking advantage of this meeting, I hope that a portion of the resources and money from our Blackwind Cliff's income can be allocated and invested into the public treasury as the common property of our team.”

“As for the use of these funds, I think the most important thing at present is to establish a professional intelligence system to monitor the internal movements of the Elven Kingdom, instead of the loose intelligence sharing like before, which wastes a lot of resources and cannot deeply detect the target… … ”

“Living in a comfortable and peaceful environment, we should think about the approaching footsteps of danger. Knowing that the enemy is preparing, but we are still careless and negligent. It will be too late to regret when things happen.”

In fact, over the years, through Allen's integration and coordination, the cohesion of the entire Thorns Ring team has greatly improved. Mutual cooperation and communication have become a norm, but this is not enough for Allen. In his vision, the Thorns Ring team should at least be able to reach the point of the Three-Clan Council before it can be said to have a certain amount of capital to confront the Elven Kingdom.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be rushed. After all, each tribe has its own demands. Even the Snowme and Raven's Claw tribes now have considerable differences with the Greenwood Tribe in some aspects, not to mention that the other tribes are now extremely wary of Greenwood and Allen.

After listening to Allen's explanation, the faces of Fendi, Yogg, and others in the field eased, and even Nicol felt a little more guilty, smiling bitterly at Allen with apology.

“Your Excellency Allen, we understand now that you have said so. Then I will express my position. I am willing to purchase these recipes according to your conditions.”

As Allen's closest companion, Nicol quickly stood up to support Allen's decision, as if the resentful dissatisfaction he had shown Allen just now had never existed.

"Then I also agree."

"Seconded."

The representatives of the Raven's Claw and Snow-Mane tribes were even more like members of the Greenwild tribe. Even without Allen's previous explanation, they would have supported Allen, because their two tribes had already received the two sets of formulas Allen had given them.

"But if we follow Allen's layout, doesn't that mean that another independent institution will be added under our Thorns Ring organization? Then I would like to ask, who will this intelligence system ultimately be under the command of, and where will the members come from?"

Fendi still spoke, asking hesitantly.

"Well, let's take advantage of today's routine meeting to solve it. For example, the size of the organization's members, as well as relevant rules and regulations and budgets, etc..."

Allen had been waiting for the other party to ask this question, and at this time he completely dominated the direction of the routine meeting, leaving the jackal representative presiding over the meeting on the stage completely aside.

"Regarding this intelligence agency, this is what I think..."

It is not easy to establish a cooperative organization by relying on consultations between various tribes. Just like the initial matter of letting everyone develop the eastern foot of the Kator Mountains, in order to build a road directly to the heart of the mountains, as well as the Blackwind Cliff Castle stronghold, Allen took the initiative to give up the radiation area of his tribe for everyone to develop, which barely persuaded them to invest manpower and material resources in this.

Now, Allen is using the formula as bait, and the resources exchanged for the formula as a basis, to continue to mobilize everyone to establish a professional and targeted institution. Now it seems that it is finally possible to realize it.

Everyone's thoughts were very clear. Since they spent resources to exchange for these sets of formulas, then if there is an opportunity to use these resources for their own use, it can be regarded as stopping losses and benefiting. As for the fact that everyone may have to invest for a long time because of this, although everyone is unhappy in their hearts, after all, the existence of this intelligence agency is beneficial to everyone, so why not do it!

"I have already prepared the formulas for everyone. When everyone goes back and sends their dispatched members over, after the intelligence agency establishes a framework, they can directly take them away."

A routine meeting lasted a long time. All day long, except for some snacks and sweets for everyone to fill their stomachs, everyone else was seriously discussing the relevant content of the intelligence agency's establishment proposed by Allen.

"..."

Everyone shook their heads. It seems that this Allen won't shed tears until he sees the coffin. He is determined to form this intelligence agency.

Thinking of the other party's current demigod status, and thinking about the impact of the establishment of this intelligence agency, after weighing it, everyone nodded silently and agreed.

After sending these guys away, Allen also rarely rubbed his twitching brow. It was really troublesome to deal with these guys. They all just wanted to take advantage and didn't want to suffer losses. It was really tiring to persuade them to accomplish something.

Allen casually put on a hooded cloak, hid his figure, and slowly walked in the newly restored prosperous fortress city streets. This time, there were much fewer annoying things. The pedestrians and merchants coming and going had a bit more ease and comfort on their faces, and the peeping gazes in the surrounding dark places were rarely seen.

Just as Allen was walking aimlessly in the city with a mood of scrutiny and inspection, he suddenly sensed a faint vibration of natural magic in his perception.

The perception of a demigod is very keen, and Allen quickly locked onto the source direction of the magic vibration, which was the depths of the Kator Mountains in the east of the fortress.

Allen's expression shook. When he came back, he had looked for Kerr, wanting to see if her mood had improved, but he searched for a long time without finding her. Later, when he asked Oliver and the others, they said that this girl had been out for several days.

Although Allen didn't think that this girl would be in danger, the aura of this magic vibration could be transmitted so far, which shows that the existence at the source is not trivial. In view of the previous attack on Kerr and the others, although decades have passed since this incident, Allen has always kept this matter in his heart because the culprit has not been found so far.

At this time, sensing this magic vibration, Allen did not hesitate to put away his cloak, and with a leap into the sky, he startled the surrounding pedestrians and goblins. Before they could react, Allen's back had disappeared into the vast mountains to the east.

"Hiss!!!"

In the depths of the mountains, a giant python comparable to the length of a dragon shuttles through the jungle, knocking countless towering trees along the way. A piercing hiss is emitted from its snake letter, and from time to time, clusters of strange dark green thick fog gush out of its mouth, scattering in the green mountains along the way, stirring up a putrid stench and white smoke.

Hundreds of meters ahead of the giant python, a team of adventurers are fleeing frantically. The unlucky guys never imagined that they would encounter such a large dormant magical beast on their adventure route. What made them even more desperate was that this magical beast woke up just as they approached its dormant area, and then launched a relentless pursuit of their team of a dozen people.

"Split up and run!!"

A troll adventurer turned around, checking the distance between the giant python and them while shouting loudly.

After hearing the order issued by the captain, the teammates who were traveling with him in the valley turned their directions one after another, and each searched for a direction to run wildly.

Although the chances of an adventurer surviving alone in this unfamiliar and crisis-ridden mountain range are not too high, compared to the giant python chasing them, the risk of venturing into the jungle alone is much easier than facing this giant python.

Before, it was just a face-to-face encounter, and their tacitly coordinated team suffered a lot of losses. Three partners who had cooperated for many years were directly corroded into a pile of bones by the poisonous magic spewed out by this giant python, and there were others who were swept away by the giant python's tail, smashing out dozens of meters away, their life and death unknown.

The troll captain and his team members were also miserable. They had never heard that there was such a powerful magical beast hidden in the Kator Mountains!! As a high-level warrior, he could clearly judge that although the giant python chasing them could not fly like a legendary powerhouse, its strength was definitely enough to compete with a legendary powerhouse.

Now, they can only rely on luck to see who will become the target of the giant python and strive for the hope of survival for their other companions.
