I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 897, As Long as Compensation Is in Place

Translator: Silavin

“How strange, I just went back to my room to get something and now everyone’s gone.”

Ah Liv did not know why so many people from the Flame Dragon Tribe had suddenly left.

It felt as though the Tribe had become empty, with only a few people and Totem Warriors remaining.

She wandered along the spacious avenue, gradually seeing those people beginning to return.

It seemed they were all coming from the same direction, which was the direction of the Yong’an Building.

“I know now, these people must have all gone to attend some ceremony, right?”

Ah Liv instantly understood. Most likely the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe had said something again.

Such a large mobilisation of people couldn’t be achieved by someone ordinary. The only person she could think of was the Shaman of the Flame Dragon Tribe.

She actually wanted to go and have a look, to hear what was being said, but unfortunately she was not from the Flame Dragon Tribe.

Moreover, walls had been erected around the Yong’an Building, making it impossible for outsiders to get close.

That was right, walls had been built around the Yong’an Building. Of course, they were not built directly against the building.

Rather, very spacious areas had been left before the walls were erected. Su Bai planned to use those areas to build some things.

Outside these walls, a very wide plaza had been constructed, and this plaza was used for holding ceremonies and announcements.

“I remember when I went there the last time, that wall wasn’t there yet. How did they suddenly build so many walls? How magical.” Ah Liv kept muttering to herself. Right now, she has no qualifications to go to the Yong’an Building.

She had been able to go to the Yong’an Building before entirely because the Flame Dragon Tribe and Green Vine Tribe were cooperating.

Now the two Tribes were no longer cooperating, and the Green Vine Tribe had come to the Flame Dragon Tribe to trade.

The primary and secondary relationship between the two Tribes had suddenly changed, so naturally she could no longer enter the Yong’an Building.

That place was, after all, where a Tribe’s Shaman lived, not somewhere she could easily set foot into.

“I wonder if there have been any changes inside? I’d really like to have a look, but I’m also curious what they all went to do.” Ah Liv had grown accustomed to muttering to herself, and even more accustomed to wandering around the Flame Dragon Tribe.

There was no other reason. She felt she and Lei Yun were not people with the same mindset. She felt that spying on a Tribe’s secrets was very impolite, and moreover did not respect the rules between Tribes.

If things went badly, it could even trigger war between the two Tribes. Maintaining the current relationship was already quite good.

But the other person did not think so. The other party felt like they should consider things for their own Tribe, and save more food for the Tribe.

Moreover, most of the Totem Warriors who came out this time felt the same way. She did not want to go along with those people.

“Where have those people been lately? Why does it feel like I haven’t seen anyone?” Ah Liv had not seen people from her own Tribe for two days.

The few she could see were those unwilling to go along with those people. She simply greeted them and continued wandering.

However, when they first arrived at the Flame Dragon Tribe, Ji and Lei Yun were the leaders of this trip, so she could still see them often.

“Could it be that they were discovered by the Flame Dragon Tribe’s people and then captured?” Ah Liv suddenly thought this.

The more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. How could she not see anyone for two days? Her heart began to feel a bit unsettled.

“Ah Liv, you’re here. I just went to the wine shop where you’re staying to look for you,” Yan Hua shouted.

Yan Hua ran over from the direction of the Yong’an Building, with Sha Lan following behind her.

“Where are you going now? Are you alone?” Sha Lan walked up and asked.

“Ah’Hua, Ah’Lan, don’t you have to train today?” Ah Liv felt very close seeing familiar people.

She really liked the two girls very much. She always felt they were different from other people, and it was comfortable being with them.

“We’ve already finished training. We came to find you because there’s something we need to tell you,” Yan Hua suddenly put away her smile.

She felt that when greeting someone, she should be sunny, but now when discussing serious matters, she naturally had to be serious.

“You’d better prepare yourself mentally,” Sha Lan kindly suggested.

“Eh? What’s wrong? Why so suddenly serious?”

Ah Liv sensed the emotional change in the two, and suddenly felt a bit worried.

“You haven’t seen those people from your Tribe for a long time, right?” Yan Hua asked directly and straightforwardly.

Ah Liv instantly seemed to understand something and asked, “They’ve already been captured by you, right?”

She had felt that uneasy feeling in her heart was very real. She had not expected that what those people did would ultimately be discovered.

“Yes, they were trying to get secrets from our Tribe, so we’ve detained them.” Yan Hua nodded lightly and asked in puzzlement, “Hmm? How did you know? Were you also involved in this?”

In fact, Ye Jiu had already sent people to investigate in advance, and sent people to interrogate them as well.

They found that Ah Liv wasn’t involved in this matter, but had merely been used as a guide.

However, Yan Hua now saw the other party’s appearance, as if she already knew, which did not match the information she knew.

“I know. Someone told me in advance, and only told me after arriving here, but I already tried to stop them.”

Ah Liv’s voice suddenly rose several decibels as she continued, “I didn’t expect they still would not listen and did things that violated the rules.”

She lowered her head very shamefully, not daring to raise her head to look at Yan Hua and the others. After all, the two Tribes had cooperated before.

Now, they actually wanted to spy on the Flame Dragon Tribe’s secrets. This made her feel very embarrassed.

“You should know the rules set by all Tribes, right? So, us capturing them is reasonable, so I came to tell you this time to…”

Sha Lan actually felt a bit reluctant. She paused for a long time before continuing, “This time I came to tell you because we want you to return to your Tribe and have you notify your Tribe’s Shaman to compensate us.”

Tribes gathered once every two years, and each time they would discuss about some common rules. That was how such common rules between Tribes were established.

Ah Liv slowly raised her head. Hearing the word compensation, her expression eased slightly as she asked, “Does this mean if we compensate, you won’t hold it against our Tribe?”

She did not care at all about the lives and deaths of Lei Yun and Ji. What she cared about was the reputation of the Green Vine Tribe, and whether they could still come to the Flame Dragon Tribe.

“That’s right. As long as the compensation is in place, you can still come to our Tribe to trade,” Sha Lan nodded.

“I don’t know what this compensation is, though?” Ah Liv began to feel a bit nervous, not knowing how much dried meat they would need to compensate.
