Chapter Eighty-Seven: The System of the Nords
"Nibru spider-man, haven't we already rescued them, why, is there any problem that hasn't been solved?" Hiko asked the old shaman with a frown. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Hearing this, the old shaman shook his head and showed an embarrassed expression.
"There are some problems, and they are quite serious. I think you should also know the habits of the Nebru spiders, who habitually live in underground caverns or in those mines, feeding on creatures and deposits in the dark corners. The problem for us is that almost all of the mines along the northern coast have owners. If we let them take over these Nibru spiders, then we will undoubtedly make them give up their wealth. It's difficult, and I'm sure most people wouldn't agree with that. So I want to ask you, do you have any solution to this?"
After the old shaman said this, Yan immediately remembered the mines he had mentioned. Several of these caves belong to the Raging Tide tribe. The current owner of the mine is a Nord warrior named Fei, his family is not small, his brothers have a lot of wealth, and they are also quite skilled Nord warriors.
Others, on the other hand, belong to the Storm Clan. These caverns are located near the middle of the ice field, and they belong directly to all members of the Storm Clan, and are the source of all their weapons and metal utensils. It can be said that without these mines, the life of the Storm Tribes would have been greatly affected. This is not what Yan wants to see, so he can only beat his idea to Fei's private mine.
"Maybe we can talk to Fei and give away some of the benefits so that he can trade the mine out?"
After thinking about it, Hiko still made such a suggestion. Hearing him say this, the old shaman touched his beard and showed a puzzled expression.
"I'm afraid that Fei's asking price won't be too low. Several of the mines in his hands are rich ores and have great potential for development. If it comes out, then I'm afraid it will be a huge number. ”
"Let's find an opportunity to make a deal with the Nebru and Fi. Uncle Fei also needs a lot of manpower and slaves to develop those mineral deposits, and when it comes to mining mineral deposits, I am afraid that no race is better than the Nibru spiders. So, I feel like we're letting the Nebru live in his cave entirely on a loan-lease basis. And in return, let Uncle Fei propose a suitable amount, and the Nibru Spider people will deliver this amount of ore to him within a certain period of time. In this way, Uncle Fei can also put more slaves into the development of the land, which will make it a more lucrative option for him. ”
After going through it in his head for a while, Hiko soon came up with a solution. And after carefully figuring out this method, a smile suddenly appeared on the old shaman's wrinkled face.
"That's a good idea. We can settle those Nebru spiders well, but we can also keep our own people from suffering anything. Well, that's it. I think they'll both be satisfied. ”
"It's better to communicate with them in advance and make us clear. This kind of thing, the most feared thing is that the bottom line of the two sides is blurred, and then the contradiction will be exacerbated in the dispute. Especially when the Nebru spiders are now equated with exile, if there is anything wrong with our attitude, then it is likely to irritate their psyche. That's not a good thing, there are a lot of stories of revenge, and I don't want that to happen to us. ”
Hiko's words made the old shaman nod in satisfaction. What he admires most is Hiko's earnest style of thinking about everything. This is a quality that the Nords are very lacking, but only those with this quality can better lead a race towards a brighter future.
It can be said that this is a natural quality of a leader. And the old shaman Lu really hopes to train Hiko to be the future leader of the Nords. It's not easy, because the Nords have a lot of traditions in the way. But things are man-made, as long as there is this idea, then it may not be impossible to achieve things.
Of course, the old shaman would not tell Hikoko about this thought. He also needs to test Hikoko again to see if he's a worthy bet on after all.
Speaking of which, we have to talk about the Nord system. The Nords have three large tribes. These three tribes also have their own way of governance. The Heavenly Dome tribe is the guardian of the Holy Mountain, and they maintain the ancient kingdom system, with the king of the snow mountain with the purest bloodline as the leader, ruling everything over the entire Heavenly Dome tribe. Theoretically, the king of the Celestial Dome tribe is also the king of the entire Nord people, but except in special circumstances, he does not have the right to govern the other two tribes.
In addition to the Celestial Clan, the Storm Clan living in the middle of the ice field has a patriarchal management system. The Storm Tribe has a typical nomadic nature, and their composition is basically made up of several large families. A family often has hundreds, if not thousands, of members, who work together to herd and hunt a large area. And once something needs to be adjudicated, the elders and parents of these extended families will gather together to discuss specific solutions. This means that the Storm Clan is in the hands of those who head the family.
For example, the old shaman's angry tide tribe is another kind of management system. The core of this system has a bit of a boiling. Normally, it is the people of the clan who have a certain blood relationship to nominate a suitable representative, and these representatives will come together to negotiate an outcome under the auspices of a respected person such as the old shaman. In this process, the old shaman can only play the role of proposal and partial veto. And it is often the majority of the representatives who really decide the final result.
It's like Hiko's land reclamation plan. Without the consent of those Nord warriors, even if the old shaman nodded, it would be completely useless. At best, he could only propose to these Nord warriors and convince them as much as he could. But if it were to give them orders, it would be basically impossible.
In general, this management system of the Angry Tide tribe has its advanced points, but also its inconveniences. The old shaman was also well aware of this, so he hoped that Hiko, a smart man, would take over his position in the future, and then find a way to make the Raging Tide tribe change the system.
Changing this kind of thing is undoubtedly a laborious thing for an old man like him, and it may also be full of variables. The slightest carelessness will not only undermine the current good situation, but may also make the future of the entire Raging Tide tribe full of bumps. This is something he absolutely does not want to see, so for the old shaman, all he has to do is to maintain the stability of the clan and at the same time pave the way for Hiko. He always believed that under the leadership of Hiko, a child with infinite possibilities for the future, the Raging Tide tribe would achieve a huge and leap forward.
And the current matter is undoubtedly a move he made to pave the way for Yan.
Is it true that the old shaman can't solve the Nibru Spider Thing? Not necessarily. You must know that the old shaman is the oldest group of people in the whole Nord people, and his long life has given him true wisdom and profound experience. Even with his own experience, he was able to find a similar solution. Therefore, all he did was just to pave the way for Hiko and make the members of the entire Raging Tide tribe more recognized him.
In this case, it is obviously not enough to just make such an opinion, the best way is to be able to go deeper into it. Therefore, the old shaman immediately said to Hiko.
"In that case, without further ado. I'm just going to talk to the Fei family now. I'll leave it to you to discuss with the Nebru spiders. ”
He didn't wait for Hiko's answer, and walked away in a hurry with the mobility that was completely different from his age. And looking at such a situation, Hiko is indeed a little confused. He didn't understand what the old shaman was thinking, or he didn't think about it at all. And in the spirit of respect for the old shaman, he can only do what he is told.
So soon, he came to the temporary camp of the Nibru spidermen, and met the leaders of the spidermen.
The Nibru spiders are a somewhat peculiar subhuman race, or rather, all subhumans are somewhat strange. However, it should also be so, because in terms of the birth process of life in this world, the sub-human race is the product of the experiment of the mother of life before the creation of other races. Compared to other races that have come close to perfection, subhumans will always have shortcomings of one kind or another. It's just that in terms of physical appearance, they are weird enough in the entire sub-human race.
The upper body of the Nebru spider-man is almost indistinguishable from a human, but the lower body is completely spider-shaped. They are hideous in appearance and large enough. Generally speaking, they will be around 250 cm to 300 cm tall and weigh around 300 kg. Judging from this size alone, they can be regarded as behemoths in the entire subhuman race. It can be said that except for a few giant subhuman races like the whale people and the elephant human race, their size can be regarded as the best.
But this kind of body type can't stop human greed. This can be seen from the experience of these spiders being sold as slaves. And Hiko's more intuitive feeling about this is the scars on their bodies.
Every spider-man who appeared in front of Hiko had more or less wounds on their bodies. And you know, most of these spider-men are women, as well as some underage children. And on such a group of vulnerable groups, there can be scars left by blades and arrows, so it is completely conceivable what kind of tragic past this subhuman race has experienced.
Naturally, Hiko would not be reckless enough to ask them directly about these painful memories, he just silently followed behind a spider-man who led the way, and then went deeper and deeper into the caverns that these spider-men had temporarily dug out.
And at this moment, a strange cry came from the depths of the cave. And this made the spider-man who led the way to Yan immediately seem a little restless. This made Yan immediately feel strange, so he hurriedly asked.
"What's going on, do you have any questions that you need our help with?"
