Chapter 665 Visiting Tanit

The man with the mustache sincerely apologized to the group of travelers and introduced himself as Adelphi, a businessman.

"I am responsible for the trade of goods among the tribes, including cosmetics, luxury goods, clothing and toys, agricultural products, farm tools, precision gadgets and so on."

Adelphi lifted the curtain of his tent and invited the traveler team to visit his "shop". "To express my apology, you can all pick one for free!"

Adelphi's tent was like a grocery store. It had everything he had just mentioned, plus a large number of books.

Su picked up a book at random and found that the title page was stamped with the stamp of the Wisdom Palace of the Academy of Teachings.

Seeing the girl looking at him, Adelphi scratched his head. "When the void was popular, their library eliminated a lot of old books. Madam Babel asked me to buy them back and store them carefully so that everyone can borrow them for free. Humph, it's a losing business."

Su opened the book "One Hundred and One Bad Jokes" in his hand and found that the book had been carefully read. There were even annotations in it - so funny, I couldn't laugh at all. Tell Adelphi not to do this kind of rubbish in the future!

Su thought Seno would like this book, so he simply stuffed it into his backpack.

Sora looked at the fertilizer piled in the corner, "The blessing of fertility..." This thing is not an old book that will be discarded and sold at a low price.

In Xumi Rainforest, the Fertile Benefit is available for free with real name. Abroad, only stores with distribution rights are allowed to sell it in limited quantities.

There are no dealerships on this side of the desert, so the bounty of the Tanit tribe can only be smuggled from the rainforest.

Adelphi readily admitted, "I spent a lot of money to get these. Alas, there is no other way. Although the tribe has precious water sources, without this thing, the barren land in the desert can't grow much food."

Paimon felt sympathy for the desert people who had a hard time surviving, and Su and Kong had no intention of enforcing the law against this tribe.

Kong: "This tribe values talent and education, and some of the measures are also for a better survival. It's good that Jade can be accepted by this powerful tribe, so we don't have to worry too much about her."

The group of travelers continued to move inward. There were not many members in this tribe, and most of them seemed busy. They also seemed to be naturally wary and slightly hostile towards outsiders.

Paimon: "There's nothing we can do. Aru Village is a special case. Most desert people are actually very xenophobic."

"Hmm? I heard the voices of young people from outside?" An old man with a bandage on his eyes came out. "Let me guess... You are here to look for someone, your friend, right?"

Paimon nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we are Jade's friends and we are invited here! Excuse me, do you know where Jade is?"

"My name is Marcela, and I raise falcons for the tribe." Marcela smiled kindly, "Jade is a good kid, and I'm glad she has a friend like you."

Marcela said that unfortunately Jade and Madam Babel were out on a mission together, and most people in the tribe were xenophobic, so she suggested that the traveler group go for a stroll in the creek below.

"Youften has some alligators in the creek. He's a nice guy, you can talk to him and feed the alligators and stuff."

"Tadela, my daughter," Marcela called a tall girl, "my little falcon, take the guests for a walk."

Tadella seems to be a taciturn person, but she will answer every question of Su seriously and remind them to pay attention to their steps.

Sue: "You are so tall! Your muscles are so strong! What do you eat every day?"

Tadella: "Meat, bald beans, some peeled cactus, and occasionally red fruit."

Sue: "Why is your left arm black? So cool!"

Tadella: "Because I'm wearing black leather armor. Be careful, this board is rotten and I haven't had time to replace it yet."

……

Paimon looked at the two people who were asking and answering questions in harmony, and showed a helpless expression, "I didn't expect Su to be so interested in Tadella." If Jade saw this, would she not be jealous and angry with Tadella?

Sora understood why. There were two types of people Su liked the most: one was a person with a gentle and strong heart, and two was a tall and arrogant older sister. Tadella was the second type.

Led by Tadla, the traveler team arrived at the water source below. There were some crops planted nearby, but they looked sparse and growing poorly.

A group of fat crown-of-thorns crocodiles were swimming in the stream, and in front of a tent nearby stood Youften, who was in charge of raising the crocodiles.

Youfu Teng was a simple-looking middle-aged man wearing a straw hat. He stuttered a little. "Hello, strangers. What can I do for you?"

"I, we came here to visit at the invitation of Jade." Paimon covered her mouth after she finished speaking. She didn't know why she started to stutter.

Youften smiled good-naturedly and said, "Don't, don't mind it." He could tell that the little girl was attracted by his accent and was not trying to imitate him on purpose.

Yuften grabbed a handful of crocodile feed and taught the traveler team how to feed the crocodiles. But the crocodiles in the distance only glanced lazily and did not come over to eat.

Paimon: "Are they full? They are totally unmoved."

Youften was a little frustrated. "Damn it! They don't like the food made from mushroom beasts."

As if worried that the guests would be disappointed, Youften went into the tent and took out some dried crocodile meat to give to the traveling group.

Paimon covered his nose and flew away. "It's so fishy! I didn't expect crocodile meat to be so fishy."

Youften scratched his head and replaced the crocodile jerky with a few slightly wilted red fruits for the traveler team to eat.

Su took it and shared one with Tadella. Just as he finished eating, he heard a commotion coming from above.

Youften: "Oh... It's getting lively upstairs. Madam Babel is back. Ok, ok, go to see the Madam. I think Madam Babel and Jade will be very happy to see you."

A trial was going on above, with someone being forced to kneel in front of a beautiful woman with weapons on his shoulders, and Jade standing next to her.

Tadla shook her head at the group of travelers, signaling them not to get close, and then she quietly disappeared.

The Traveler Team stood far outside, watching what was happening over there.

The young man kneeling on the ground had a mouth full of blood and saliva, and his mouth was full of teeth. He said that he was not really bribed by the Snow Country people, and kept begging the mistress to give him another chance to prove his loyalty to Tanit.

The seductive mistress quickly and cruelly sentenced him to death, "His tongue has been stained with the poison of outsiders, and his mind has been polluted with the gold of outsiders. He cannot be allowed to stay."

Matron Babel looked at Jade and said, "He is no longer a member of our family. Take him away. You know what to do."

After experiencing the intelligence, tenacity and hospitality of the Tanit tribe, Paimon got a glimpse of the cruelty of this desert tribe.

Kong's face darkened. "This was done on purpose for us to see. It was a show of power prepared for us."

Sue: "She wants us to be scared and to know that she has control over Jade."
