The place where the dinner will be is a small square near the fountain, there were a lot of people gathered, the weather was quite lively. By the ti the group of Mark Hunter appeared, it attracted everyone's attention, as they were curious about the visitor to the village, Liu Yang.
Alex Hunter was sitting on the floor in front of the fountain with several plates of food in front of him, around him were several people of all ages. Realizing the arrival of Liu Yang, Alex Hunter nods signaling that he could sit next to him. Liu Yang and Nika Zennis sat next to him.
"Mr. Van, I thank you for accepting our invitation. I hope you enjoy our food. "Alex Hunter waved a hand and so won began to feed Liu Yang.
The dishes were just Giant Desert Scorpion ats with so spices. Using the Phantom Vision, Liu Yang saw that this at had so special effects such as slightly improving the body's resistance to venom. Before eating, he asked Xillia Wolf if there was anything wrong with the food, she just said that there was no problem.
Upon receiving the confirmation, Liu Yang took two chopsticks to get a piece of at. The flavor was quite common, due to lack of seasoning.
"Mr. Van, how did you like the at?" Alex Hunter asked.
"I apologize if my words will offend so here. The taste of the at is good, but if there were a few more spices, it could get much better. "Liu Yang's words caused dislike to so people.
"It's true what Mr. Van said, if we had more spices or other things to mix, things would be better." Alex Hunter sighed after speaking.
"Village chief, could you speak about the information I'm looking for?" Liu Yang wanted to know the information as quickly as possible.
"Before you talk about the information, Mr. Van, is it possible that you do this old man a favor?"
"This will depend on the favor"
"This old man wants Mr. Van to help our village defeat a savage beast"
"What wild beast?"
"It's a Red Desert Snake"
"Chief of the village, are you referring to a large collection of red scales with spines on the back and tail that looks like a sharp blade?"
"Yes, that's it"
"What part of it do you want?"
"We need any part"
"What is the use of the body of the snake?"
"Mr. Van, we do not know of the uses, but cities are giving rewards to those bringing parts of the body of the snake. The reward we want is to do not need to pay taxes for a few years "
"I see ... How do you deliver these tributes?"
"An envoy from the city goes to the villages collecting the tributes, and then he returns to the city"
"No village people who go together? Or soone from the village who delivers the tributes? "
"No, it's very difficult for us to go to the city, most of us are not strong enough to fight the wild beasts that are in the way"
"When will the next envoy co and get the tribute?"
"Tomorrow"
"Interesting"
"Mr"
"Do not worry, I will fulfill this favor. That's what you want, right? "
Throughout the conversation, no one intruded, they let Alex Hunter and Liu Yang talk. People around were surprised when the village chief asked Liu Yang to defeat a Red Desert Snake, although they heard that he looked strong, many were still skeptical about it.
When Liu Yang finished speaking to the chief, he put the hand in the pocket of his shorts, he took sothing from the space ring, wearing the pocket was just to disguise.
What he showed for everyone was a small transparent sphere the size of a ping pong ball. The mont they saw that little sphere, everyone in the place was shocked.
"Mr. Van, this is ..."
"Yeah, it's sothing I got after killing so snakes, that must be sothing you need, right?"
"Yes, this item is called the Poison Core, it's an extrely rare item, only a few snakes can create one of these on their bodies. With this core, our village can be exempt from paying taxes for twenty years"
"Interesting ..." Liu Yang was interested in the rewards of exchanging these items.
"Mr. Van ... Will you give this core to us?" The village chief's voice seed shaky, there were expectations in his voice. The sa was true for everyone on the site, they were hoping to have the item after Liu Yang took it off.
"We can talk about this later, first I want to know about the information about the cities." Liu Yang put the core back in his pocket.
"It's all right. Mr. Van, I will tell you everything I know about the cities of this desert "
Alex Hunter began to tell so things that he knew. The place where they were was near the center of the desert, where there is a lack of water. In this desert there are thousands of villages like this, so are subordinate to others, while others are only branches of the main tribe in the city. So tribes go to war with others to try to get more food, won, and slaves. The cities are a considerable distance from the villages, it was necessary to walk a few months to find the nearest town, often the trips fail due to the death of all mbers of the group by the wild beasts. This was the life of those living in the Seventh World.
Liu Yang listened intently to the words of the village chief, what the chief said was no different from what he had learned from the moirs of Arthur Pendragon. Liu Yang just pretended to ponder what the chief had said.
"Head of the village, thank you for the information. I am tired at the mont, tomorrow we will address the issue of this core, if the chief does not trust , I can deliver him right now "
"Mr. Van is thinking too much about this old man, we can talk about it tomorrow" Alex Hunter thanked Liu Yang internally for these words, if he surrendered the core, it was possible that so spy from another village would try to steal from him.
Liu Yang just ate a little before getting up and walking toward the cabin under the looks of admiration, envy, and jealousy. The village chief beckoned to Nika Zennis, he wanted her to follow Liu Yang. Many won were envious and jealous of her, for she was as close to soone as powerful as Liu Yang.
Among the people who were eating, there were so who were looking toward Liu Yang with cold eyes. Despite noticing these looks, Liu Yang did not care about this, he just walked toward the cabin.
