Chapter 359: Wronged!
Topourme hugged his knees and sat not far in front of Tang Jie, looking at the black-haired man with unblinking eyes, and secretly thinking about what the patriarch Abaraha said to her: Is this guy really as powerful as the patriarch? No matter how you look at it, I don't think he is so powerful......
Tang Jie could barely move, he was furious by Tobulmay's gaze, and he had countless questions in his heart: Why did he appear in this place? Where is this tribe called Kokoltan? Looking at the appearance of these guys, they are very similar to the people of the Southern Continent. Speaking of which, he has something to do with the Southern Continent, after all, so many of his subordinates, even the brave soldiers, are black slaves from the Southern Continent.
But I can't say these things to these guys who don't know whether they are friends or foes......
"If you have anything you want to ask, just say it......" Tang Jie was really uncomfortable when he was seen by Tobulmay, and couldn't help but sigh and said.
Curious, TopmΓ© asked, "How do you know what I want to ask?"
Tang Jie sighed: "Your eyes are almost staring at me! If you have anything to ask, if you don't ask, I have a lot of things I want to ask!"
Tobulme asked, "Is it true that the patriarch said that you are very powerful?"
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, and a hint of awe-inspiring color flashed in his eyes: "Is the patriarch you are talking about the old man who spoke just now?"
"Yes, he is the wisest man in our tribe, the leader of the Kokoltan tribe chosen by the Goddess of Chaos to lead," Tobulmay nodded. β
Tang Jie asked, "Then where is your Kokortan tribe located in the Southern Continent?"
A look of vigilance flashed in Tobulmay's eyes, but he completely forgot that Tang Jie had diverted the topic she had just asked: "Why are you asking this?"
Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "I came to this place for some reason, you have to let me know where in this world I am now, right?"
Tang Jie said, but in his heart he thought of Angel, Fiona, Nia, Christina and others who were far away in the Falco Empire on the Western Continent, and he couldn't help but feel anxious: In such a sinister environment, if they thought they were dead, what would happen?
Just thinking about it, Tang Jie felt like he was shivering: he had to leave this hellish place and return to the Falco Empire!
Tang Jie thought of this, deliberately sighed heavily, and said: "I have lost all the goods of my ship, and now I don't know how to explain to the president when I go back......
Topmer snorted coldly: "Don't think about this kind of thing, let's think about how you will survive in Aden in the future!"
Tang Jie was stunned: "What?
Tobulme changed his sitting position, sat on the straw mat sideways, picked up a wooden spear casually, and used the sharp scimitar dagger at his waist with his other hand to continuously cut the tip of the spear, and he didn't know if it was really to sharpen the spear, or he was using this action to warn Tang Jie: Don't act rashly!
"Yes, Golden Ivory Tower Aden! We have to pay thirty slaves to Aden every year, and our tribe used to have a large population that could afford to supply these thirty slaves, but then because you damned Pounds came to attack us, plundered our property, and killed our people, our population dropped dramatically, but the number of thirty slaves that Aden had to pay every year did not change......
A flash of hatred and anger flashed in Tobulmay's eyes, and the hand that sharpened the spear also sped up with force, and for a moment the sawdust flew wildly, and some of them even floated all over Tang Jie's head.
Tang Jie was secretly awe-inspiring in his heart: he had just learned in the Sky City of Talasha that the Golden Ivory Tayaden was secretly preparing a magic army, and he came here inexplicably, wouldn't it be such a coincidence?
Moreover, when I seemed to be in a coma, I heard the mysterious woman say: The blue heart is in the Southern Continent?
Could it be that Tira, the god of the sea, brought himself here?
Tang Jie blinked his eyes, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, he settled down, and asked cautiously, "You won't use me as a slave to make up a number of people, will you?"
Tobul Mei glanced at Tang Jie: "I didn't think so, but I saw that you looked different from those people from other continents, and you were in a coma in the jungle, so I rescued you back, but I didn't expect you to be a Pound!"
Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "How many times do I have to say it before you understand that I am not a Pound person! If I am a Pound person, how can I have black hair and yellow skin? Have you ever seen a Pound person with black hair and yellow skin?"
Tobulmay was stunned for a moment: "That's what you said, those guys are all blonde hair and white skin......"
Tang Jie sighed and said, "In this way, you take me to the nearest port nearby, and I can prove to you that I am not a Pound!"
Tobulme sneered: "The nearest port? The nearest port is at least four or five hundred miles away, and it is still on the coast to the west, and it will take us more than ten days to get there." β
Tang Jie was taken aback: "Isn't it, so far away?"
Tobul May's shining eyes stared at Tang Jie: "You really want to go to the port there?"
Tang Jie's eyes didn't blink, the lie came as soon as he opened his mouth, and he said with a sad face: "Of course, I lost my relatives and friends on the ship, and now I don't know their whereabouts, and I feel like a knife is cutting it when I think about it!"
Although Tang Jie's words were lying, he was indeed thinking about Angel and the others in his heart, and he said it sincerely, which made Tobul May believe it for a while, and sighed with emotion.
"A year ago, the army of the Pound Empire invaded our tribe and killed many of my tribal blood relatives, at that time, there was a shortage of soldiers, and many clansmen were missing, and I still don't know if they are dead or alive......" Thobullme let out a long sigh and glanced at Tang Jie with sympathy, "I can understand your feelings." β
Tang Jie had been lying in a position, his body was extremely uncomfortable, he moved his body, and immediately caused a sharp pain to come from all over his body, the pain made his eyes black, and the whole world seemed to be shaking in the sky.
Tobulme put down the wooden spear in his hand, walked up to Tang Jie, gently lifted him up, and then helped him lean against the wall of the grass hut behind him.
Tang Jie looked carefully at the brown-skinned woman in front of him, and suddenly found that although her skin was quite dark, her facial features were beautiful, and her lips were plump and sexy, very much the beauty of black pearls he had seen in movies in his previous life.
Tang Jie couldn't say that there were not many beauties around him, but when he saw this black pearl with a unique style, his heart moved, especially when the other party's virgin fragrance came from him, which made him feel a little uneasy for a while.
Tang Jie settled down, he knew that this was not the time to pick up girls, there were still so many beauties around him who had not been settled, and he was in danger at this time, the other party actually wanted to take him out as a slave and pay tribute, and the rulers of the Nilsia Sea and the West Siedria Sea were going to be taken as slaves and given away, this is simply a big joke!
When this kind of fire burned his eyebrows, Tang Jie didn't have the heart to fall in love, he coughed dryly, forcibly took his eyes away from the thin virgin hairs on the other party's neck, and said, "That's it, I'll make a deal with you, how about it?"
Tople looked at Tang Jie vigilantly, looking like a she-wolf, looking at his prey with a hostile gaze: "What do you want to say?
Tang Jie said: "Aren't you short of slaves? As long as you release me, I will be responsible for providing the number of slaves for your thirty people every Chinese New Year's Eve in the future, how about it?"
For a small tribe in the southern continent with a total population of only over 500 people, it is a very harsh and cruel thing to pay thirty slaves to the Golden Ivory Tayaden every year, and they are young and strong slaves.
You must know that in a tribe of 500 people, among which the elderly, children and women account for two-thirds of the population, and the remaining more than 100 people are all the young and strong labor force and fighting force in this tribe, and among these people, at least ten or so die every year because of fighting, illness, and various accidents, plus 30 young and strong labor force must be handed over every year, it is conceivable that the loss of forty or fifty tribesmen is a huge trauma for the development of a small tribe!
And if this slave supply is not deducted from the population of their tribe, then the tribe will recover quickly as long as they recuperate for a few years.
Tang Jie's proposal was very tempting to Corcortan.
Tobulmay's eyes flashed, and then he looked Tang Jie up and down in disbelief: "Can you provide the number of slaves for thirty people per year?"
Tang Jie said lightly: "Of course ......"
When Tobul May saw Tang Jie's answer, although his expression was faint, the proud look between his eyebrows could not be disguised by anyone.
This is the unique bearing and temperament of a superior person after going through countless trials and tribulations!
"Indeed, as the patriarch Abaraha said, this fellow is by no means a simple merchant......" Tobulme muttered to himself.
Tabourme looked suspicious and said, "How do I know you're not lying to me?"
Tang Jie smiled bitterly: "Any transaction is risky, it depends on whether you have a vision!"
Tobulme thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I can't make up my mind about this matter, I will tell the patriarch Abaraha what you said, so that he has the right to make decisions." β
Tang Jie knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed and arouse the suspicion of the other party, he nodded, and then asked: "You can tell him that as long as he lets me go back, I may be able to do all kinds of trade transactions with him in the future." β
As he spoke, Tang Jie looked left and right at this simple grass shed, and said with a strange expression: "I believe you should lack a lot of things here......
Tobulme didn't seem to hear the meaning of Tang Jie's words, and she looked overjoyed: "You mean, you can trade with us? This is great, those hateful guys in the Golden Ivory Tower are trading with us, and they are dead, and they specialize in trading our diamonds and jewels with some rusty knives!"
Tang Jie almost choked to death without taking a breath: "What did you say? They exchanged rusty knives for your diamonds and jewelry? How did you trade them?"
Topourme looked like a matter of course: "Of course it's a gem trading a dagger!"
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Tang Jie coughed violently, and his eyes were so painful that his eyes were full of stars, "These guys are really wronged!!"
