After the other dragons glanced at each other, they all left their seats, and all knelt behind the Great Patriarch.

"Things are in trouble!"

Natsuno has a headache.

"Agu?"

The action of eating barbecue slowed down, and he paid attention to the expression of his eldest brother, as long as he gave him a hint, he would immediately find an excuse to help him out.

The savage girl didn't understand anything, and when she saw so many dragons kneeling down to the big chief, she felt that Xia Ye was so powerful, but it was Xia Frog, and her brows were already frowning.

The dragons didn't speak, they didn't get up, they fell to their knees, even the children.

Although Xia Ye is not very old, he is no longer a hot-blooded young man who will go to the soup if he is instigated by impassionedly, he is now the big chief of a tribe, and no matter what he does, he must put his own interests first.

What the dragon patriarch said may be the truth, but so what? Let's not talk about how much benefit I can get by doing this, think about it simply, the dragon people have spent five hundred years without sealing the Devouring King, and if they stand up stupidly, even if they don't die, it will be light to take off a few layers of skin.

"I will swear in the name of my ancestors to protect the life of the Great Chief, and in the end, whether it succeeds or not, Chaoge will gain the friendship of our dragon clan. ”

The Great Patriarch was sincere.

"Is your friendship valuable?"

Xia Frog sneered: "Xia Ye is also the chief of a tribe of 10,000 people, with three thousand armor under his command, and he is the heir of the Mo family, as well as His Royal Highness the most favored princess of King Zhao, do you want him to let him put a good future and help you seal the Devouring King?"

As soon as the frog girl said this, the faces of the dragons couldn't hold back, and some people wanted to scold, but they were stopped by the great patriarch.

"It's me who is abrupt. ”

The Grand Patriarch apologized.

"Well said!"

Xia Ye glanced at Xia Frog, and secretly praised in his heart, he and the frog girl have also been together for a while, knowing that her IQ and EQ are not bad, she rashly said such offensive words, completely for her own relief.

Of course, the Great Patriarch retreated, but Xia Ye couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, otherwise he would be tied up and sunk in the lake before he finished dinner.

"No, I want to do everything I can to help your tribe, but my tribe is in ruins, and if I die here, those people will be displaced. ”

Xia Ye sighed, there is no need to say the rest of the words, as long as it is a politician with a normal IQ, he will pick it up.

"Little slippery!"

The patriarch muttered, people are asking for benefits, so he hurriedly picked up: "Our tribe has no money, but there are some reserves of grain and vitality stones." ”

"Eh, the great patriarch's words hurt my feelings, am I such a person who sees money?"

Natsuno pretended to be angry.

"You're not looking for money, you're thinking about less money!"

The great patriarch slandered in his heart, then squeezed out a smile again, and opened a new price code in a kind manner: "The contempt tribe really has nothing of value, even the steam civilization of the ancestors has been lost, only a little steam technology is left, if the big chief doesn't dislike it, I can give it away with both hands!"

"Great Patriarch!"

"Father!"

"Think twice!"

After hearing the price offered by the great patriarch, the dragons, who were originally indifferent, immediately became anxious and tried to persuade them.

Wei Ziluo and Cao Daoyun were also surprised.

"Steam technology, IMHO, your tribe ......"

Xia Frog glanced around, and the meaning was self-evident, as far as your tribe made of stone and thatch also has steam technology?

For these four words, Xia Frog still knew it from the bamboo slips that Xia Ye found before.

"The cornerstone of steam civilization is the boiler, and to be honest, the vitality stones on this small island are too scarce to support some steam technology. ”

The Great Patriarch smiled bitterly, he still didn't say a word.

As the Devouring King's strength grew, it also began to create some monster heirs, and those monsters had been hunting dragonmen all along.

In order not to be discovered, the dragonmen have to move constantly, and naturally it is impossible to develop steam technology wholeheartedly.

Xia Ye was silent, as a college student before the cataclysm, no one understood the advantages of an epoch-making technology better than him.

Their own tribes are entering the Iron Age, but they are not crushing in the Bronze Age, and who knows if those tribes have trump cards? If they develop steam technology and do not seek to fight, they can at least shorten the gap of more than ten years.

"Ana, take the Great Chief to the Library!"

The patriarch commanded at the right time.

"Thank you!"

Xia Ye sighed, this great patriarch is really empathetic, this is obviously to let himself inspect the goods first.

"I'll go too!"

Woo Guo got up and jumped to Xia Ye's side.

Xia Frog looked at Xia Ye worriedly, the wizard's memory is very powerful, that dragon man asked him to watch it first, isn't he worried that he will regret it after remembering it?

Taking a step back, if those steam technologies are extremely valuable, but the other party is willing to give Xia Ye a sneak peek, it also means that the task of sealing the Devouring King is extremely dangerous.

In this world, there will be no generosity for no reason.

Wei Ziluo and Cao Daoyun also wanted to see it, but unfortunately they were ignored.

The reception banquet was over, and the room of the great patriarch was filled with the high-ranking members of the tribe.

"Is it necessary to pay for those steam technologies? That is the most precious treasure of our dragons. ”

"What if we let the Devouring King survive, and sooner or later its offspring will multiply and take over the island. ”

"What are you afraid of? Those technologies are so obscure, even if they were given to that young man, I don't believe he could understand them. ”

The dragons were talking nonsense.

"Okay, don't argue, the most critical question is, can that human really activate the altar and seal the Devouring King?"

After an adult dragon man finished speaking, everyone's eyes immediately swept to Ana.

"The Stone of Divine Consciousness is in his hands, and this is the best proof of this. ”

Ana recounted all the things she had experienced since she met Natsuno.

The image of a calm, wise, courageous and decisive man immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"I don't know what his nature is, but I see that he can take the initiative to stay behind for the sake of his companions, even if it is a savage slave, he has not given up. ”

Ana admires Natsuno quite a lot.

The dragons had not slept all night, and the next morning, one by one, they had walked out of the room with bloodshot eyes, they had not slept soundly for more than half a month.

The eldest patriarch's name is Abu, and after breakfast, he planned to talk openly and honestly with Xia Ye again, but when the sun was up, he didn't see Xia Ye.

"Sleeping?"

Abu didn't think that Xia Ye would be such a lazy person, so he sent someone to inquire, but he was rewarded with a return that he was still in the library.

"Isn't it?"

Ana was surprised and saw her father go out and immediately followed.

In the library, Xia Ye held a bronze engraving plate, and looked at it well, and it felt like returning to the days when he was in the library.

It's a pity that there are no beautiful intellectual sisters or senior sisters to attract eyes.

"This technology is very high-quality, it's a combination of vitality and steam civilization, right?"

Natsuno was staggered.

Before the cataclysm, after the first industrial revolution, it didn't take long for the electric age to enter, so steam technology came to an abrupt end, and the most common thing was that boiler-driven trains, looms, ships, and so on.

The steam technology recorded on these bronze engravings is much higher, not to mention the production lathes, looms, and a few steam rifles, which make people's mouths water.

This is a weapon that can improve the combat effectiveness of the entire tribe in a short period of time, if each person has one, in the first half of the practice, Xia Ye can beat the entire Xia clan to kneel and call Dad!

Of course, this weapon also has a disadvantage, that is, it is extremely expensive and has huge requirements for the industrial accumulation of a tribe.

Relying on a skilled man to drill the barrel of a gun, don't want to enter the age of steam in this life.

When Abu's father and daughter walked in, they saw Natsuno holding his chin and staring intently at the bronze engraving.

"Shh

Woad, who had been with him, put his finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.

Ana pursed her lips and looked at the eyes of little Lori, knowing that she hadn't slept all night, he was like a loyal dog who would always guard Xia Ye.

Abu didn't want to disturb Xia Ye, he just wanted to observe, but this wait was more than two hours.

"Excellent, replacing coal and stone with vitality, the efficiency of doing work is greater, and the loss of energy can be reduced to 30%?"

Xia Ye sighed, even if he was not an engineering student, he knew that a lot of the kinetic energy of the steam engine was consumed in the transmission structure.

Abu and Ana glanced at each other, their eyes full of shock, this young man was not pretending to be a cow, he really understood.

Suddenly, Abu regretted something.

He asked Xia Ye to come to the library in order to use those obscure knowledge to calm him and lure him, but now he is starting to be afraid, what if he is betrayed by others?

Abu thought about it, but he was also the patriarch of the tribe, and he couldn't do such a shameless thing.

Ana didn't have this concern, rushed over in a few arrow steps, grabbed the bronze engraving in Xia Ye's hand, hesitated, and put away the wooden table again.

"Huh?"

Xia Ye was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I was presumptuous." ”

"Stingy!"

Woad pout.

"I wonder if the Great Chief is happy with this 'gift'?"

Abu reverted to his calm and breezy posture.

"Satisfied. ”

Xia Ye nodded: "However, I have a reluctant request." ”

"Please. ”

Abu suppressed his excitement.

"I guess your tribe has technicians who know steam technology, right? I need ten. ”

Seeing that Ana was about to speak, Xia Ye interrupted: "Listen to me, I don't want them to be coolies, but let them go to my tribe to be teachers, or, arrange people to come to the island to study." ”

"Come to learn?"

Abu was stunned.

"King Zhao can send people to the island every few years, I think you, in the past few hundred years, you should have figured out the way to teleport people back, right?"

Natsuno kept staring at Abu's face, hoping to see some clues.

"Of course!"

Abu nodded proudly, and then frowned: "Give you a technician, no, but I can help you teach some apprentices!"

"Then five can do it. ”

Xia Ye adjusted the price, and finally agreed, and the dragon tribe sent two technicians to help Xia Ye build the song.

"Okay, deal, you go and prepare, I'm ready to go. ”

For the future of the tribe, Xia Ye fights.

Abu said goodbye very interestingly, and did not urge Xia Ye to leave.

After the two of them left for a long time, Ana finally couldn't help it: "Father......"

"Shut up, I'm also for the tribe. ”

Abu looked at Ana with tender eyes and stroked her daughter's long hair: "I know that my homeland is hard to give up, but we can give him two clansmen who are about to die!"

Ana was smart enough to notice her father's abnormality, but instead of asking, she listened obediently until she returned to her room.

"In the future, be careful when talking outside, after all, we don't know if they have the means to listen. ”

Abu taught.

"But don't we know how to teleport back to their tribe......?

Ana worried.

"Accountability, even if he succeeds in sealing the Devouring King, how much combat power do you think he will have left?"

Abu scoffed, here, there is a magic circle, so he doesn't have to worry about being overheard by outsiders.

"But the credibility ......"

Ana tangled.

"Reputation? If outsiders know that if they want to continue to cooperate with outsiders, people will worry about the damage to their reputation, and if they make a deal, who cares?"

For the sake of the tribe's mission and future, Abu doesn't mind being a villain.

For the first time, Ana's worldview was impacted.

After Abu entered the room, the sweet potato girl came out of the woods and ran quickly to the library.

"Great Chief. ”

Sweet potato immediately told Natsuno about the conversation he had overheard.

The Savage Girl has a magical ability, that is, she can hear sounds directly from miles away through the ears of birds and beasts.

"It seems that they really want to cooperate, but for the two old Myrons, this is too bad, right?"

Summer Frog is depressed.

"Hehe, teaching is such a thing, the older you are, the better, as long as you are a technician. ”

Xia Ye's eyes were aggressive: "When the time comes, you will first take the bronze engravings I screened out, hide and wait." ”

Xia Ye is not stupid, and is ready to let the dragon man pay a part of the 'deposit' first.

"No, I'm going to the temple with you!"

Xia Frog refused, very decisively.

In the evening, the dragons who had gone out all returned, as well as Jiaduo and his party.

"Great Chief!"

Seeing Xia Ye, the long-legged girl immediately rushed over excitedly, but stopped again a moment before Xia Ye was detonated.

Xia Ye didn't pay so much attention to it, and hugged Jiaduo: "You're okay, great!"

Nephrite is warm and fragrant, but unfortunately the breasts are too small to feel anything.

"Great Chief!"

Elivia greets.

"Hmm!"

Xia Ye looked at Xia Shilian, even if they were all her own people, she didn't take off her mask.

"Master, I want to kill you!"

Waiting for Xia Ye to let go of Jiaduo, the interesting Friday shouted, one slipped and knelt, ready to hug Xia Ye's thighs, but the ground was uneven, the other was not slippery, and his head was directly on the ground.

Time was pressing, and after dinner that day, Abu called Xia Ye and his party, as well as the commanders of the dragonman side of this operation, all over to formulate tactics.

Jiaduo unconditionally implemented Xia Ye's decision, but it was Xia Shilian who objected, and he was silent after learning that the reward was steam technology and dragon man technician.

"Count me in!"

Wei Ziluo also followed: "I don't ask to share the drawings, I just hope that after you make those weapons, you can sell them to us at a slightly lower price first." ”

I have to say that compared with Zhou Kang, who was silent and pretended to be a dead dog, Wei Ziluo was more decisive.
